President Harrison remarked wher
Cleveland succeeded him, that Mr.
Cleveland was welcome in his attemp'
to drive his team of wild horses. "a
Mr.. Wilson has had the broken ami
mails from Kentucky and elsewhere
and he has handled them fairly well
but what of the Nomads that we read
of In history, who, were the terror
Of all those whom the soil or the ad'
vantages of a market had induced to
build towns" Further on we read
"The pastoral nations were needy and
hungry to desperation; and this intel

/ don't know whether Emerson had
an eye to our time or not, when he
said "Thc cramlping influence Of a
hard Journalist on a young child in de-
pressing its spirits and courage, par.
alyzing the understanding, and that
without producing indignation, but
only fear and obedience, and even
much sympathy with the tyranny"
Now what do you know about that?
Here is another: IN the retreat of
the ten thousand after the army had
crossed the River Teleboas in Ar
menia, there fell much snow, and the
troops lay miserably on the ground
covered with it. Dut XenOphan arose
naked and taking an ak began to
split. wood, whereupon others rose and
did the like"
Throughout his army exists a
%boundless liberty of speech. They
quarrel for plumber, they wrangle
with the generals on each new order,
and Xenophan Is as sharp tongued as
any, and sharper tOngued than most,
and so gives as good as he gets. Who
does not e that this is a gang of
great boys, with such a code of honor
and such lax discipline as great boys
have"

Now l think we had better return
from ancient history and Washington
City back to North Dakota, where we
have a habit of conducting affairs ac-
c0rding to the eternal fitness Of
We have recently had a state wide
primary election where the people ex-
ercised their judgment, and in the
main it was very good judgment they
exercised.
1 asked a banker in Chicago recent
ly, why a great state like Illinois al
lowed such rotten conditions relating
to private banks and the recent fail
ife of the so-called Lorimer banks.
AS l remember his explanation, it
was to the effect that those who were
In favor Of the loose and criminal
methods actually occupied seats in
the legislature and dominated that
body. We are told however, that the
banAlng laws Of Illinois are all right
properly enforced.
1t would appear, however, that Mr..
had wireless or subterranean
CONNECTIONS with the Illinois state
auditor.
We read in ancient history that
Julius Caesar chose the law as a
means Of rising in the world, Though
81 ancient family he was not rich. He
must make money by his profession
or he must borrow it II he would Sc
cure office"
Anyway he had borrowed one mil
lion five hundred thousand dollars be-
fore he held office. HE was a bold
POLITICAL gambler and! played for high
Lorimer l guess in his own mind
was something like .lnat, only went
julius Caesar a million or SO better,
but Loritner started banks and used
the money Of the t~oilers, the widows
and other disciples of %frugality.
In North Dakota, on the other hand,
a former public official was sentenced
to prison for a technical shortage OF
fifty odd dollars, rather extremely
exacting in light of historical politics.
Regarding prospective legislation
in North Dakota where the associa-
