The Recent Sea
Disasters.

The recent disasters upon the
ocean which have resulted in such
an appalling loss of lite were
preventable according to experts,
while this may be so. we think
the time spent on regrets is lost
the problem to be met is to secure
safety during fog.
Many inventors claim to have
invented devices to give warning
to vessels of the approach Of
other ships i'll a fog. 1t is we'll
known that the fog horse or
noise devices are practically un
reliable, as sounds are unlocat
able i'll fog
Physicists claim that suomar-
inc signals are the most efficient
III foggy weather. Undoubtedly
the various steamship officials
and the Board of Trade will in.
vestiga ate so that some efficient
system of warning ships of the
approach of another vessel can
he given and collusions avoided
The lesson of the Titanic was
the proper safeguarding of the
hull from powerful shocks and
better bulk heading; while the
sinking OF the Empress ot Ireland
show the need of proper fog
signals.
1t is a verv hard lesson, but
beyond doubt, the lesson will
be learned, and better fog sigma IS
be installed upon all vessels 1t
is sad commentary that the So
luton of all the great problems of
marine transportat ton have been
forced upon us by great calamit-
les. We hope that from this cat
catastrophe. the lesson may be
learned and applied, and another
great stride in the science of SAT-
ely for the sea traveller may be
made.

Paid Up Bonds. =
That the present administration
has made good in the matter of clean
ing up indebtedness is proven by the
fact that yesterday the admiaistra-
tion paid up another lot Of bonds in
the sum Of $4,000, making the total
sun of $3.50, 900 bonded indebtedness
which has been paid under MT. Han.
mas administration during his two
years as governor. In other words,
the state Indebtedness has been re-
duced from 1897 300 to $617,300. These
bonds which were paid yesterday
were issued for the Soldiers Home at
Lisbon, July 1, 1899, and were for 80
years, which made them due July 1,
1929. AS will be noted they were re-
tired IA - years before due, or in
other words, were not allowed to run
but half as long as it vas anticipated
it would he necessary, at the time OF
issue. These bonds were carried by
the permanent school fund, and yes
terday, at the suggestion of Governor
Hanna, the board of university and
school lands a%cquiesced in the propo-

than there had in the previous 20
years. This shows the people Of the
state are beginning to realize that
consolidation is the proper thing. 1t
not only gives the children much bet
ter advantages by having a better
school and better work, but It keeps
the children at home and costs much
less than to board them il town. It,
also permits the schools which have
been consolidated to receive state
aid which they do not otherwise re
ceive. Up to July last there had been
275 schools consolidated in North Da-
kota, and there have been 10 odd
since that time. Much interest is be

'First and foremost, the welfare OF
the people should be considered. The
continuance of the progressive party
as a distinct organization could have
only one result, in my judgment. in
the 1916 campaign. and the result
would be to greatly increase the
chances of, if not insure, the re-elec-
ton Of Wilson and the democratic
party. .. s
ut is my judgment, based on my
experience ia the ~"Sixty-third con

be a good thing for the country. Then
again the record shows that on all
matters of important legislation the
progressive and the progressive-repub-
licans voted together, demonstrating
beyond question that they think and
believe alike.
Again, the result of the recent pri-
maries and election shows that il the
progressive voters had gone into the
republican primaries the old guard
would have been defeated.
