We Democrats.


Its good to be Democrat
In these Wilsonian days:
TO know that Wilson's at the bat
Our every fear allays;
For he's winner ut the game
OF managing nation
He's Won Democracy new fame
And lots of jubilation.
They said we Democrats were sure
To crab this job of ruling:
That we could not good luck endure
But that was envious fooling.
We cut the robbcr tariffs claws
Wherever they extended;
Well make the trusts obey the laws
Ere Wilson'S term is ended.
Who wouldn't be a Democrat?
The earth with war is rent.
But We keep right standing pat
We and the President
\ Democrats the thing to be:
Come, friend, and help the play.
And share the fruits OF victory
That's just two weeks away

One Aspect of Modern Warfare
IN one Of Sir John French's reports from
l the front he said that German prisoners
expressed surprise that the noise caused by
their big guns did not have Il great moral
effect on the foe 1t had been the idea OF
the German military philosophers. according
to Sir John. that the explosion of these big
shells would reduce the soldiers at whom they
were aimed TO such state Of panic that the
German infantry would have no difficulty in
routing them. Tho British general then goes
on to say that his troops call the huge mis-
ses by opprohrious epithets and are other
wise not moi icea bly, impressed by them.
This is an interesting sidclght on the
minute way the Germans have studied every
detail Of warfare and il also is curious
rccrudesccncc in Europe of Oriental battle
tactics Not so many years ago Chinese SOL
dcrs Went into battle bearing images of n
horrendous aspect, TO strike terror into the
foc--that is. for moral effect. They a lso bore
with them the means of creating awe-inspir-
Ing stenchcs. When the foes nerves had
been duly shattered by these visual and OIL
factory agencies, they were supposed to be
and probably ere--unable TO offer effective
resistance against assault by other weapons.
Doubtless. il is Il far cry from the German
war staff 10 Chinese tactics. Still, II is rea-
sonably safe to say that the acme of mill
iary psychology. AS laid down by the German
military philosophers, is not essentially diff
fercnt from rudimentary warfare. as eXempi-
fed by the Chinese. The fundamental diff
ference appears to be that the Germans use
the product OF the peaceful industrial arts
TO degree unknown TO the Chinese.

RISKS TO BE WRITTEN BY
RESIDENT AGENTS ONLY

Bismarck, March 3d.! Insurance
Bulletin No. 40, by w. G. Taylor, state
commissioner, contains ruling
against the writing of risks other
than by resident agent. Mr.. Taylor
says: ..,.
Conformation reaches the depart
ment that a considerable amount of
fire insurance covering risks on prop
erty situated in North Dakota, is be-
ing written by brokerage concerns
located outside of the State. Such
practice is in direct conflict with both
the letter and spirit of the provisions
of the sections 450S, 4509 and 4510,
revised codes 1905, and must be dis
continued" .~.
1t is contrary to the law of the state
of North Dakota for a nonresident
to write or place or do anything in
connection with the writing or placing
of insurance upon property or risks
within this state. Also it is contrary
to the law for any company to secure
policies signed in blank by resi-
dent agent, afterward to be filled in
and completed by a resident agent; or
for a resident agent to sign slips of
approved to be attached to completed
policies by nonresident agents; but
that all policies issued must be COM
pleted by a resident agent, complete
record made of policies when same are
issued, the premium collected by a
resident agent, and the commission al
lowed by the company retained by the
resident agent.
1t is assumed that it will be neces-
sary to require of fire insurance COM
panies authorized in this state, an
Overhead written agreement" or a
promise of conformity with the ruling
of the department in this matter.
Companies will, however, be held to a
strict compliance with the terms and
conditions of the ruling here announc-
ed.
The bulletin also states that before
Hon. w. C. Crawford, Judge of the
Tenth Judicial district, at Mott on
Feb. rs, 1914, M. D. Kirchner, pleaded
guilty to the crime of arson, and was
sentenced to serve a term of four
years Imprisonment in the state pen
itentiary. Mr.. Kirchner was proprie-
tor of meat market at Bowman, N.
D., and admitted having burned the
building for the purpose of procuring
the insurance thereon. Leonard Leary,
who fired the building, also pleaded
guilty and received a like sentence
four years in the penitentiary. "Un-
doubtedly the principal reason why we
were enabled in this case to apprehend
the guilty parties was the establishing
by the last legislature of the office of
Fire Marshal, and the valuable assist
ance which you rendered in conduct
ing the investigation" writes States
Attorney Theo. B. Torkelson to Fire
Marshal A. H. Runge.

DIR. MARY WALKER SAYS
SHE HAD PROPOSAL.

Washington, March 3O.-Dr. Mary
Walker, "self made man," said in a
lecture that Chester A. Arthur, presi-
dent of the United States from 1881
to 1884, asked twice for her hand in
marriage, but she turned him down,
she said, because he smoked cigars.
DR.. Mary, in trousers, boots and
black frock coat, went into all the
thrilling details. She first met him
on the street, she said, and he was
smoking.
"Throw that dirty thing away" she
said.
He did then and there and asked
her to marry him but she spurned his
love, she explained.
Several years later, according to her
story, he again asked her to be his
wife.
"He would have given up cigars
then," she said, "but-I would have
lost nv own identity."
