PEACE THE KEYNOTE
Of BRYAN'S ADDRESS
Discusses Countries to South Of Us in
National Geographic So
ciety Lecture.
CANAL ADVANTAGES ARE TOLD

The sentiment OF peace and friendship
| with all nations formed the keynote OF
an address delivered by Secretary OF State
Bryan before the National Geographic
Society at the New Masonic Temple yes
| terday afternoon and evening his theme
being States of America to the South
of Us" Prof. Gannett. president OF the
society. introduced the speaker. who was
greeted with applause. The lecture was
not illustrated.
Secretary Bryan proved an effective
booster Of the natural advantages of the
countries to the south OF the United
States, advising those of the audience
who are on travel bent to pay visit to
the Southern countries
Il wonder why more OF our people don't
go to Porto Rico during the winter
months" he said, and why more people
don't make trips TO south America and
Asia"
He said Europe did not offer much to
the American traveller, as its people do
not materially differ from tho American
people. Secretary Bryan said that things
were different altogether in Asia. In
dwelling on the great advantages in store
for Americans from visit to South
America the speaker emphasized the re-
mark that next to the English language
the Spanish language is likely to be the
growing language.
Speaking of his visit to Panama, the
Secretary Of State said he had been thor
oughly converted to the great advantages
to b, derived from the lock type of canal
over the sea level type, which he at first
advocated.
Referring to the benefits to be derived
fro. the Panama Canal. Secretary Bryan
said the waterway would be the means
OF carrying ideas OF this country to the
people OF the Southern nations. not as
enemies. but as friends. He paid a high
tribute to the japanese people and said
Japan is a nation wide awake"

Mrs. Moore is wearing a new wedding
ring with the inscription twenty
years after" on It, and each one of the
eight junior Moores is In receipt Of a
remembrance.
II am glad Mrs Moore did not want
a larger celebration" said the Repre-
sentative. because IL would have been
difficult to put limit on the invitation
list. I am also glad the celebration has
been 50 quiet because a larger celebra-
ton would have given point to the fact
that twenty-five years is a big slice out

THE "KADDIsH" DISCUSSED.
Prayer of Consolation Subject oi
Sermon by DR.. simon,

The "Kaddish," the prayer which is
the consolation OF the Jew in time OF
death or tribulation, was the subject OF
the sermon delivered by Rabbi Abram
Simon at the Eighth Street Temple last
night DR.. Simon related the history OF
this prayer, which dates hack centuries
before the Bible was written, and told
how II served to cement the family ties
by instilling that reverence of the child
for its parents that marks the Jewish
race.
DIR. Simon warned against allowing
superstition to attach itself to this prayer
from the fact that II is recited by the
son on the anniversary of his father s
death.
He announced that his subject for next
Friday night will be Joseph and His
Brothers"

SPANISH WAR
VETS BANQUET
HELD BANQUET IN CoMMEMORA-
TON OF THE BEGINNING OF
SPANISH-AMER4CAN WARTIME
PROGRAMME OF SPEECHES AND
INFORMAL TALKS.

- The Spanish-American War veter-
ans held a banquet last night at theA
armory Of Co.. B, North Dakota Ma
tional guard, concentrating the be-
ginning Of the war with Spain, in 1898.
The banquet began at 8:45 o'clock.
Just as the guests were being seated.
they were brought quickly to their feet
again by the strains of the Star
Spangled Banner, played by a Victro-
la, and every guest joined heartily in
the soul-stirring national air.
Commander G. S. Foster acted very
ably as POSTMASTER. and called on a
number of the veterans, who respond
ed with short but interesting speeches.
The principal event of the evening
was the presentation Of a past COM,
mander's jewel TO Past Commander E.
Fay, jr. Captain Gearey presented the
jewel, with an appropriate speech, in
compliment to Commander Fay, and
the work he has done in the organiza-
ton.
Mr.. Fay responded with a short
a in which he spoke of the neces-
sity for making the organization of
the Spanish-American War Veterans
a strong association. They must soon
take the place Of the G. A. R., he said,

FARGO COLLEGE
BOYS BUY PAPER
TWO STUDENTS OF FARGO COL
LEGE OF JOURNALISM PUR-
CHASE WEEKLY NEWSPAPER
AT WlNNERAGo, NEB., AND
LAUNCH OUT IN BUSINESS.

That the Fargo college school OF
journalism has already produced good
results is proven by the fact that two
of it's students, Arthur D. Windham
and Ralph G. Beede, have become the
editors and publishers Of a weekly
newspaper at Winnebago, Neb.
These young men purchased The
Winnebago Chieftan early last month
and have now gone to assume their
duties in their new enterprise. 1t is
to be hoped by the student body and
the faculty Of the college on the hill.
particularly those of the school of
Journalism. that they will meet every
success.
Winnebago is a small Nebraska
county seat and the young men have
started in when the tow is young to
grow up with the community.
Mrs. julia D.. Hazelton, deal of the
school Of journalism, is very much
pleased with the venture Of the young
men and is a~nxiously watching their
progress, for they are among the first
students since the establishment OF
the school two years ago, who have
taken the step to put into actual prac-
tice the course which they have re-
ceived through the medium of this
department of the college.

Government Railroads,

Duluth News Tribune: What would
have been thought ten or twenty years
ago if a republican in the federal sem
ate had advocated the government
ownership of railroads? The good peo-
pie of this country would have begun
putting props under the sky for fear
it was about to fall and annihilate the
earth.
Amusement would only have been
eQualed by Indignation. Yet this is
what Senator Kenyon Of Iowa has
done and he based his argument on
figures furnished by Iowa's railroad
commissioner. These place the value
Of the railroad securities at about
$14, 900, OOO, 1000.
At this price paid in 3 per cent
bonds, he 'reckons there would be a
saving of $500, 200, 900 a year in inter-
est charges alone. Added to this would
be the dividends to be used possibly to
retire the bonds, besides which there
is $1,000, 600, 900 Of accumulated sur
plus.
Other arguments used were the
gains through dispensing with the
services of a lot of highly paid off
Gals, and the profits from increased
terminal and right-of-Way land values
which the railroads have persistently
capitalized. Terminals also would be
re-arranged for the common benefit
and the good of the service, and not
held as now as a monopolistic agency
for unfair competition.
Rates would be based on cost, The
principle and methods Of safety would
be uniformly applied. Employment
would come under civil service and so
on and so forth, along all the lines of
idealism which are always used to
show the great advantages of public
ownership.
Yet, when all this is told, there is
hardly n item of it all that cannot
be secured through regulation under
private ownership. The common use
of terminals, the refusal to permit the
capitalization of unearned increments,
the use of surplus in betterments or
extensions without increased capitali-
zation, lower interest rates through
greater dependability, all are coming
and will come without burdening' the
government with the ownership and
operation of the railroads with the
manifold dangers and weaknesses
which would follow.

Many Norwegians Now Using the
"Landsmaal," or Native Speech

Literary Digest: If Ireland gets
home rule, will she throw the English
language in the face of her erstwhile
oppregsors and begin talking in Gael
ic? This is practically what Norway
is reported to wish to do with the
tongue imposed upon her by her Dan
ish conquerOrs. Norway has been a
bilingual nation ever since, and some
have desired that the "Landsmaap', or
native speech, should become the Off
cial language of the country. 1bsen
scoffed at the project in Peer Gynt,
but it's advocates have been persist
.ent, and a writer in The. New YorA
Times asserts that the celebrations Of
1914. mari-:ng the centenary Of Nor
ways independence of Denmark, will
show a formal adoption of the new
tongue. Resident Norwegians have
followed up this statement with a de-
NAL, but the possibility is interesting
enough to warrant quoting the
grounds upon which the action rests.
The word reform should not be applied
to tn proposal for, as the writer as
serts, 1.-THE measure now in process Of
adoption is not the revision of the ex-
listing language, namely, Danish. but
the adoption Of an entirely different
one, known as the Landsmaal'. We
