of his bereavement.
In the death of Mrs. Gilbreath,
he has lost a devoted and accom-

one Of its leading women
She had been failing for the
past two years and the end was
not unexpected. Always a devOt-

recently to give up public life in
order that he might make brighter
her last hours.
1t was his wife's condition that
caused him to decline to run for
reelection as commissioner of

SATURDAY, APRIL 1s, 1914.
A YEAR or

While 1914 does o hold any prom
use of unusual development in North
Dakota. reports indicate that it will be
q yea of steady growth and advance
ment. The building season has begun
and from present indications will be a
busy one, keeping contractors and
builders at steady employment until
~freezeuD.
Many of the cities of the state re-
port very brigh. prospects. This is
especially true of Bismarck and Minot
The latter city has recently r~eorganiz-
ed it's commercial club n it has
many plans under way for a marked
development.
At the capital city there will be a
number Of new business blocks and
residences and other improvements,
including considerable work on better
roads for that part Of the state. Bis
marck will also have q big conven-
ton year.
Dozens of the smaller towns of the
state are enthusiastic over the pros
poets for the immediate future. In the
western and central parts Of the state,
where there has been a lot of railroad
building in recent years, the towns are
now getting over the boom day period,
and are settling into a steadier stride.
More permanent buildings are being
erected, commercial clubs being or
Ranized and the citizens planning per-
pmanent Developments.
Everywhere there is increased. in
FEerest in stock raising, dairying and
corn growing n plans for permanent
aand lasting improvements.

THE Sc RVANT.

He who will serve Is a servant,
Yea a servant Of high degree,
For he stands by highest or lowliest
With eyes clear-visioned to see.
He who will serve is a brother,
In the brotherhood. warm n brave,
That is broad as the race and as ten
der
AS the Brother who came to saw
He who will serve is a lover:
All service were else in vain.
From q heart that nakes all the
world sWeeter,
He labors more lovers to gain.
He who will serve is a teacher:
For many shall learn at his feet
The art of all arts the noblest.
OF turning life's bitter to sweet
The truth of all truths the deepest,
Whose knowing must make men
Free
The skill Of all skills the finest,
OF training to do and to be.
He who will serve shall be master.
Ruling and serving is one,
Till multitudes league with the leader
And the undone work can be done.

On the Race Question.

A book which deals with an issue
which has never doomed larger on the
horizon than at present is John Moffat
Mecklin's Democracy and Race Eric
ton: A Study in Social Ethics. Pro-
fessor Mecklin does not attempt to
present a solution to the race problem,
which he regards as, insoiublen but
rather to indicate what 1T involves.
The question which he seeks in a
measure to answer may be phrased as
follows: What is it in the human
makeup that is responsible for that
friction which in the" light of history
would seem to be the inevitable con-
sequence of the intimate association
Of the yellow mar with the white, the
black with the white?
With this end in view he takes up
the work that has been done by the
most recent investigators in the field
Of social psychology. The analysis OF
the social processes by which an indi-
vidual lives himself into the life of
the community and at the same time
attains mental and moral maturity is
followed by an examination of the race
traits with special reference to the
negro to determine how far they in
fluence the process Of becoming social
and solid with ones felloWs.~The re-
suits thus gained are utilized to ex-
plain The imperfect way In Wh1cn the
negro has assimilated the civilization
of the white. Because Of the probable
persistence Of the color line the au-
thor finds it to be the immediate duty
Of the negro group to create within
it's own limits social traditions and
| habits which will enable it to develop
the type Of citizen demanded by Ann
erican democracy. Professor Mecklin
closes his arguments with an attempt
at a reinstatement of the meaning OF
democracy on the basis Of the con-
illusions drawn in the earlier chapters

shed and death. An aching heart is
tragedy. whatever the cause.
"Nor is the pernicious influence Of the
~extravagant ideas that go with the
usual competition in display to be ig-
nored for a moment. That, too, will
be avoided by the cap and gown; and
It is one Of the most menacing things
In modern life, one which must soon
be fought if universal sufferings and
disaster are to be averted."

Book Frauds,

Apropos of the recent convictions of
fraud book agents, The Boston Herald
printed the following editorial which
is worth the serious consideration Of
every lover of beautiful books:
The prompt conviction of the men
who selected books as the medium
with which to defraud their victims is
gratifying. It was a confidence game,
pure and simple. Books were chosen
by these men, in preference to mining
stocks, for example, because the
names of prominent publishers on the
title pages carried weight as q guar
| aptee of quality. If the books had re-
manned unaltered the publishers would
have less to complain Of, but in order
to initiate the prices these friends OF
millionaire book collectors inserted all
| sorts Of extra illustrations and bound
the volumes in ~flamboyant styles
which the publishers never would
| have tolerated. After this prices were
inflated to an uncomfortable degree.
endorse all this because his name re-
manned on the title pages. Unfortun-
| ately, as a result of this, for those who
love good books n appreciate the
taste and skill required to produce
beautiful publications, in which Bos-
ton has always taken high rank, the
public has been led to believe that
books sold by subscription are likely
to be open to suspicion. This. Of
course. is most unjust to publishers
whose books are sold by agents. AS
Is we'll known, the leading publishers
in the country employ agents for the
reason that sets of books, or such as
require a large preliminary outlay and
call for a corresponding risk, cannot
be sold in any other way. Bookstores
would not be justified in ordering the
quantities needed to be sold by the
publisher to ensure him against loss.
Audubon solicited subscriptions to en-
able him to publish his work, now al
most priceless. No dictionary, atlas,
encyclopedia or extensive legal, med
ical or historical work could be sold in
large enough quantities through the
bookstores. There is no reason why
the occupation of agent for books
should not be as honorable as any con
nected with sales effected by personal
interview, and it is well to consider
that to this much abused solicitor W.

THE CAP AND GOWN,

high schools throughout the country

there is nothing prettier or sweeter on

"But it robs the spectacle of all its

The Story of Phaedrus,

The publication OF a book by Newell
Dwight Hills is a significant event in
literary circls, not only because Of the
authors position, as pastor Of Plymouth
Congregational church Of Brooklyn,
which is at one a guarantee of perma-
nent value, but also because charming
and felicitous writer though he is, new
volumes with his name on the title
page are issued only very rarely. This
fact the many admirers of The Quest
of Happiness, The Quest Of John Chap
man, The Influence of Christ in Mod
ern Life, have deeply regretted in the
past and this regret will be even more
poignant after a reading of The Story
Of Phaedrus published April 8th). The
little work With it's many attractive
decorations in color is perhaps the
most important Of all Of DR.. Hills
writings. Coming after a number of
years of silence, it represents the very
best of his thought and expression.
The Story OF Phaedrus is a blending
Of fiction, legend n history. 1t may
be read by the habitual novel reader,
the student Of old times, and the re-
ligious scholar, with equal pleasure.
Phaedrus Is a literary slave who, in
the days when Christianity was young,
comes under the influence Of it's teach
ings and u~ndergoes a wonderful con
version. What this conversion brings
with it and the labor which it i'm
poses-which ultimately becomes a
labor of love--is told by DR.. Hills
with a wealth of incident and imagi-
nation. The tale serves to make clear
as never before the scenes n people
of that age when a religion destined
to sweep the world was shaping it
self.

Editorial in The Chicago Tribune:
An American Warship is a plant in
which as high as $4,000 900 has been
invested. Huge as may be it's bulk as
a ship, it is a small container for such
value. 1t is a machine, powerful and
sturdy in build, delicate in adjust
ment, open in times Of peace to the
dangers Of shoal, breaker, iceberg and
tempest.
1t is a national asset which cannot
be replaced in short time. If the ma
ton easily could stand the monetary
loss. it could not easily submit to the
disarrangement of it's navy program
caused by the crippling or destruction
of so valuable and tremendous a piece
of property.
Secretary Daniels of the navy de-
partment has ordered that the wine
mess" Of the officers Of the navy be
abolished and that the use of alcohol
on any vessel, navy yard, or station be
strictly prohibited" However 'divid-
ed the nation nay be upon the social
or hygienic question of alcohol, there
can be only one intelligent opinion as
to this order. 1t is wise.
When ships were not complicated
and delicate assemblages OF machin-
cry, grog was Il part of the sailors
life. The crew was piped to this eX-
Vibrating pleasure whenever the oc-
casiOn warranted.
Men went into battle under the
stimulus Of Dutch courage" They
her influence and territory still fur
received their reward in this liquid
form. Times have changed. Ship
machinery now demands sober intel
ligence. No industrial establishment
expecting efficiency would think of
serving liquor. Railroads., industries
and commerce have set up bars
against the man who drinks. It's not
a question Of morals. 1t is a question
of efficiency.
The sOciable creature with even a
moderate quantity of alcohol in his
system cannot be expected to perform
the efficient service Of a man in his
condition Of intelligence. Sailors are
always either on duty or at the call
of it.
The Tribune has opposed the repeal
OF the canteen in the army. That is
another matter. Soldiers are f~ootlose.
If they will. they may drink. They
are not in charge of machinery which
a moments lapse from close attention
may wreck. The canteen was a sane
substitute for the wretched saloon Of a
military outpost. 1t is a different
matter in the navy.
The Daniels prohibition is wise.
