OUR ISLAND POSSESSIONS

The number Of islands under the
Stars and Stripes is estimated at
5000, and they support a populs-
ton of 100000. Their COM
merce exceeds $500, OOO, 900 or
more than that of the United.
States in any year prior to 1850;
the American capital invested in
them aggregates approximately
$400, 900 900; they send US $780,
100000 worth of their products
each year and take in exchange
nearly 500, 600, 900. The Island
Of Luzon in the Philippines is as
large as. Belgium, Holland, and
Denmark which support a popula-
tion of $1,000, 900; Mindanao is as
big as Indiana, Hawaii is as large
as Connecticut, and Porto Rico is
larger than Delaware and Rhode
Island put together. When the
United States took hold of Porto
Rico fifteen years ago there was
but II building in the entire is
land which had been erected for
school purposes; today there are
$4,000 buildings erected for school
purposes. There we're rs, 900 pup
ills enrolled in the public schools IN
the 6sst year of the American ad-
ministration; now the total is 49,
900. The island then had one we'll
constructed road of forty miles,
connecting its two principal cities;
now there are nearly one thousand
miles of road suitable for rotor
vehicles. Then the production of
sugar, che principal crop was 65,-
600 tons a year; now it is 365, 00O,-
900 tons a year. The foreign COM
merce was about 500, 900, 900 a e
now it is nearly $1OO, OOO, 900.
Then the island bought of US about
S2,500,000 worth annually; now
nearly $40, 00O,O 900. Porto Rico
and Hawaii supply one-fourth of
the enormous amount of sugar used
in the United States. Hawaii has
been extremely prosperous since
it came permanently under the
American flag in 1900. The assess
ed value of property has Increased
one half in that time, the value of
the sugar crop has more than
doubled, the deposits in the banks
have trebled, and the deposits in
savings banks have quadrupled.
The irrigation system is the marvel
of the world and the quantity of
sugar produced per acre is far in
excess of that of any other spot on
the globe. The Alaskan islands
and mainland cost us $3.50 900
an expenditure that many of us be.
lieved to be quite unjustifable;
yet for many years the annual
value of the sealskihs alone APP
proximated the cost of the entire
area. while at present the value Of
the canned salmon sent us from
Alaska in a single year is twice as
much as the entire possession cost.

|DR. GORDON HAS
| WRITTEN BOOK

Fargo admirers of Rev. James L.
Gordon, D. D., of Winnipeg, pastor of
the First Congregational church of
that city, will be interested in knowing
og the appearance of his first book.
Alps Love Yet Ais Law, just pub
lished by Fleming H. Revell Co., of
Chicago.
Fargo college conferred upon DIR.
Gordon his degree of doctor of divinity
three years ago at the time of the
commencement of the class of 1911.
when he delivered the masterful COM
mencement address. Since then he has
spoken here on several occasions and
has become great favorite with Far
go people.
His book cannot do other than lead
men to a better realization of the
chief, the supreme good and to help
them find God. 1t is a work which bids
fair to be exceedingly popular espe-
cially in this city where he has so
many admirers.
BY a strange coincidence, DR.. Cor
don is not the only Winnipeg divine OF
that name who has wide reputation.
The other DIR. Gordon, a Presbyterian
minister in that city, has a wide repu-
tation in the literary world as the au-
| thor of The Man From Glengarry and
other books, which he has written ul1-
der the nom de plume of Ralph Con-
| nor.
This is DR.. James Gordon's first lit
erary effort in book form. With two
such distinguished men of the Same
name. both ministers and both au-
lthors, Winnipeg should indeed fsel
lproud.

MUST PROCURE
LICENSE TAGS

Chief Of Police Bingham has re-
ceived a letter from Thomas Hail.
secretary of state, informing him that
all those people who own motor vehi-
cles and have not secured a license
tag for the year 1914, have absolutely
no excuse for not having 1t, and the
chief has instructed the policemen of
Fargo to arrest any and all persons
running a motorcycle or automobile
without a 1914 license tag attached tc
the machine, on and after June 1st
1914. Chief Bingham makes the fol-
lowing statement concerning this mat
ter: ~a.
~ Every motor vehicle owner in the
city of Fargo is required, under the
city ordinance, to register the name
and number Of his machine with the
city auditor, and this must be done al
once.
1t is a violation of the city ordi-
nances to drive on the left hand side
Of the street or to leave a machine
standing in that manner.
Exceeding the speed limit and cut
ting the corners while turning from
one street to another is a violation OF
the laws and ordinances and must be
discontinued at once. ~
One human life is worth more than
all the Joy rides in the world and we
do not intend any one shall get hurt II
we can help it.
1t is not the desire Of any police
man to arrest anyone. but the law and
ordinance must be complied with and
if you get arrested, just blame your
selves as you have no excuse for vio-
lating the law.

Chief of Police,

Ceremony
STRONG APPEAL BY POPE
In Allocution, the Pontiff

Rome, Italy, May 25.-At a secret
consistory at the vatican, Pope Plus
created thirteen new cardinals.
A number of bishops in various
countries were also confirmed in their,
sees. At the same time officiel an
nouncement was made of the creation
of Monsignor Bella, patriarch Of Lis
bon, as cardinal. His name was re-
served "in proctor" at the consistory of
1911.
The ceremony was accompanied by
all the brilliance usual on such occas-
ions at the vatican, and was preceded
by a short allocution, after which the
names of the new cardinals were read,
as follows:
Monsignor Louis Nazaire Begin,
archbishop of Quebec, Canada.
Monsignor Guissolay Mendez, arch
bishop Of Toledo, Spain.
Monsignor Dominica Seraflni, assess
or of the Congregation of the Holy
Office.
Monsignor Della Chiesa, archbishop
of Bologna, Italy.
Monsignor John Csernock, archbish-.
op of Essetergom, Hungaria.
Monsignor Francis Won Bettinger,,
Archbishop of Munich, Bavaria.
Monsignor Felix Won Hartmann,
archbishop of Cologne. Germany.
MOnsignor Hector Irence SEWN, arch
bishop of Lyons, France.
Monsignor F. G. Piff archbishop Of
Vienna, Austria. .. =
Monsignor Philip Giustina, secretary
of the Congregation of Sacraments.
Monsignor Michael Lega. dean of the
tribunal Of Rota.
Monsignor Scipio Tecchi, assessor of
the Consistorial congregation.
Right Rev. Francis Aidon Gazquet,
president of the English Benedictines.
The pontiff was surrounded by all
the members of the sacred college liv-
ing in Rome. and by these who are
now here, including Cardinals Gibbons,
Farley and OConnell. Cardinal Fall
COMO, formerly apostolic delegate to
the United States, was also raised to
the rank Of chamberlain.
The allocution of the pope was a
strong appeal for political and social
peace, and true restoration of the re-
ligious influence Of the church.

p
Oyster Bay, May 25.--The trip which
Colonel Roosevelt will take to Washing
ton tomorrow took on new Significance
when it became known that the colo
mel will hold an important conference
with the progressive leaders there. On
his arrival at the capitol, the colonel
will go direct to progressive head
quarters, where he expects to see all
the progressives In congress. From
them he expects to get first hand in
formation as to the course of events
in Washington during the last seven
months. g
This conference will determine in a
| large measure the plans TO be followed
in starting the ball rolling for the fall
campaign. Roosevelt has been urged
by many of his supporters since his
return from South America to lose no
time taking issue at once with Presi-
dent Wilson, without waiting for
formal opening of the campaign.
The colonel said a few days ago that
much as possible until after his return
from Spain, but recent events caused
him to- consider the question of jump
ing into the fray at once.
He already has expressed briefly his
opposition to the Wilson administra =
tons policy of the canal tolls exemp-
tion repeal, and also to the proposal to
pay s25,000,000 to Colombia. 1t is un-
derstood that he will make his sever
est attacks upon the present adIninis-
etration's foreign policy and upon the
operation of the Underwood tariff law.
1t has been suggested to the colonel
that by remaining silent he lis permit
ting the republicans to steal a march
on the progressiVes by getting first
into the field with their criticisms Of
the Wilson policies. This suggestion
had considerable weight with Roose-
velt, and itfis not improbable that be-
fore he sails for Spain at the end OF
this week he Will fire the opening gun
