Editor Emmons County Record:
Great truths are dearly bought The com
mon truth.
Such us men give and take from day to day.
Comes In the common walk OF easy life,
Blown by the careless wind across our way"
In the winter of 1928 Hon. E. A. Viii
liams was the member of the Legislature
representing large scope Of country in
the upper Missouri Valley. The SEES
sion was held at the ancient territorial
capitol, Yankton, an old city Of the alb
orignee, the religious center of the Da-
kotas, when the first explorers of the
Missouri river country arrived. During
the session there developed feeling to
move the seat of government to a more
central situation. Capitol movers
sprang up in all parts of Dakota; there
seemed chance to make big city
somewhere along the Missouri river.
Mr.. Williams having had other years OF
experience in legislative work. came in.
to prominence and soon aad the capital
on wheels. A capitol commission was
appointed, with the governor member
Governor Ordway was an old hand in
the game of "invisiblc government,
having served as sergeant of arms of the
lower house of congress many years.
He knew chickens from crow and al
ways reached for more than his share of
the turkey. The location of the capitol
had to be central. Hon. E. A. Williams
was quiet, strenuous worker. He was
assisted by such giants as Hon Alexan-
der Mckenzie and Col. c. A. Lounsber-
ry, the latter founder and editor of the
Bismarck Tribune. These men by their
activity and natural genius outstrippcd

time partners. itsccmcd that cvcry body
was getting rich and money came in by
the bushel; SO plentiful that money loan
ers went out Of business. The climax:
Governor Ordway returned from the
east full of hypocracy and greed. He
pretended to see danger to me capitol

that stood high financially for fair
dealing. With his own friends or pals
he organized another bank called the
City National Bank The cashiers

Wilson, courteous and manly gentle
man. The governor by this time had
grown so uneasy and impatient about
the capital fund that he induced the cap
ital commission to call for one hundred
thousand dollars from our banks. Some
OF our subscribers had paid part cash
and given notes for the balance. The
governor was so careful he would not
take over any Of the notes. He took our
money and put 1t into his bank. This
made great financial strain on our
banks which led like a mine-fuse to the
people. The crash of the Bismarck cap
ital boom came. It busted the frontier
boys They were too simple for such
sly, old yankee. 1t seemed. in the Ian
guage of the prophet. that riches took
wings and flew away. The boomers
scattered to the. four winds. Dishonesty
had done the work. Hypocracy had
ruined the prospects of a beautiful city
by the Missouri. The new Bismarck
was fastened on to the people of old Ed
winton without their consent. The
name and the man. Prince Bis
marck, is hated in Europe and
the world over. BY double dealing
he plunged France and Germany
into war. He was hated and un-
horsed of power by the present Emperor
William. In his old days he said. in his
own memoirs. that after long and tur-
bulcnt life he could count his friends on
the fingers of on. hand. and no one
doubts him. Let the name of North Da-
kota's capital CITY be Amercanized to
Garfield or Mckinley by vote of the
people. No one knows to this day who
clouded the fair and honest name of Ed
winton to Bismarck. Away with it. Its
a cloud and hoodoo.
Very respectfully,

Many things are being demon
strated to the world as result of
the terrible carnage of the battles
of European nations. For one thing,
it is being fast demonstrated that
the terrible loss of life incident to
the wonderful striles of science in
military equipment does not deter
huge armies from. flying at the
threats of each other. 1t is fast
being borne home to the people of
the world that the spirit of warfare
remains the same as in the days Of
the Spartans and the Persians. It
is ridiculous to assume, as many
prominent men have done Of late,
that universal arbitration is the
means whereby the horrors of war.
are to be avoided. 1t is worthy
aim, but as yet far from practicable.
We may not be admirers of that
method of settling difficulties. Yet
it is the universal means of settling
disputes. Warfare has been more
common during recent years, if any
thing, than during the former ages.
The Spanish-Ameriran war, the Boer
war. the Russo-Japanese war. the
numerous Balkan battles, the Mex
lean revolutions and the present
worldwide conflict proves that
point. And, among the nations Of
the world that have participated
must be included the United States,
our own country.
True enough. the doing away with
armed struggles is beautiful ideal
FOR which mankind should strive.
But like the many other Projections
which would be admirable, they are
not practicable. Partisanship is an
Inherent in the make-up IF mankind
as is the love of liberty. Whether
it is country spelling-match or a
war between nations. there are OPP
posite sides and the losers will give
in only when conditions require it,
And there is no supreme power auf-
ficient to prohibit warfare. At
present the preponderence of the
entire strengthen the civilized world
is engaged in death-grapple. AL
ready the usual charges and counter
charges Of unfair practices are fly
ing thick and fast. The law Of ma
tions is. supposed to prevail. But
will it? What force secures those
measures or requires their recogni-
ton? 1t is but the power of the
neutral countries. In this instance
the war has assumed such tremend-
our proportions that the remaining
neutral power Of the world cannot
control. Excuses never before ex-
perienced in the preaent-day sense
Of civilized warfare may be ex-
pected.
Mo matter who may be the victor
ID the struggle, the present war il
practically d death grapple for some
of the nations involved. And, fac
Ing auc1 a prospect. who can believe
that the force Of arms will be
staged by some high motive Of NOR.
ality? Instead. the contendina
armies will throw international Law
4 to the wind and might will make
right. "

JAPAM'S DARING WHALERS.
They Risk Drowning to Escape the In
furiated Animals Tail.

They Risk Drowning to Escape the In
furiated Animals Tail.
Many of the Japanese whalemen are
most expert and daring men. After a
whale has been cornered, harpooned
and is slowly giving out from ex-
haustion the nimble expert Of the
whaling crew must prove his mettle.
The skilled Jap. after jumping upon
the animals back and cutting two
gashes in the head, one on each side,
through which a rope must be run and
tied, cannot always perform his work
In one trial Often the animal makes
a deep dive. But the little Jap must
hold fast to his quarry and dive also,
trusting to his fates that his own air
supply in his lungs Will last as long as
the whales.
The Jap is safer from being drowned
than from being crushed by the infuri-
ated animals tail. If the little Jap
let go 1t usually means death, 80 he
hangs on to the diving quarry. Ere
quently these whalemen lose their
lives from drowning, but the members
of their crew look upon this misfor-
tune with something Of a fataistic
regard.
But the main business In hand is the
capture of the whale. AS the fight
progresses and the maddened, fright.
ened animal grows weaker and finally
is dying the boat crews row closer to
the body and pray for the ease Of the
departing spirit. Members Of the crew
will call out the words "Joraku, JO
raku, Jorakup' and on the third day
after the animal has been hauled
ashore a service is held and prayers
offered for the animals future con
tentment in spirit.
AS soon as the animal has been tow
ed to the shore line he is cut up, the
Japs making huge excavations ant
penetrating inside the animals bod
as though entering a mine shaft Of
gallery and eventually making thel
exit, all covered with blood. 1t is {
grewsome sight. but Is looked upoI
purely as a matter of course among
the Jap whalemen.-Exchange.

oermany's Uhlans.

The uhlan hussar was borrowed from
no Polish military system. Uhlan
means simply lancer Hussar is a word
that comes from the language OF the
Hungarians, meaning twenty. 1t com
memorates the time when every group
Of twenty men In the kingdom was re-
quired to furnish one cavalryman. So
it means the representative Of twenty
men. The word dates from the time OF

Photographs should be looked at
with only one eye to appear best, says
F. w. NARROW in an article on How

"Most photographs. particularly small

feet or to be estimated at their true
value because they are not looked at
In the most effective way" the author
says. Take as an example q print re-

held at a distance of twelve inches or
more Now a camera is essentially a
one eyed instrument, or, at any rate.

from n single point, the optical center
Of the lens. The object must be looked
at, therefore. with one eve only and
from point corresponding as nearly
as possible to the optical center of the
lens If its characteristics as it is to be
reproduced in the camera are to be ap.
preciated.
Let 1t be remembered that when a
print is looked at with both eyes open
binocular vision emphasizes the aat.
