CITY AND COUNTY

1t is matter OF common OBJ
servation and regret that there,
is not that warmth of friendly!
feeling between Wahpeton and
the rest of the county that there
should be, and there must be a
reason for this condition. What is
it?
In talking with people from
different parts of the county we
find that it is at least partly due
to a feeling that Wahpeton claims
what belongs to the county as its
own. Our splendid new county
court house and Jail we are too
apt to speak of as Wahpeton in
situations when they are not
Wahpeton's but the county's and
this selfish boast is resented by
other parts of the county, who
have just as much money invested
in these buildings as Wahpeton
has, and more.
Then, too, in boosting Wahpe-
ton we boast of the State School
of Science, the Indian and Bible
Schools, the armory and the new
postotfice building as Wahpe-
tons, when they were built and
paid for by the state in some ca
SEES and by Uncle Sam in the 9TH
ers. True they are located here,
but in recognition of the claims
of this section of country rather
than of Wahpeton's only. Let us
remember this, and not get the
habit of thinking of ourselves
more highly than we ought to
think.
Wahpeton can justly boast of
what the city and it's citizens have
built, or own, but let us not forget
to give credit where credit be-
longs as to the other institutions
and buildings here. A little more
modesty on our part will leave us
more nearly blameless for any ill
feelings between Wahpeton and
the rest of the county, for between
us all our interests are mutual
and by pulling together all will be
benefited.
Wahpeton profits greatly by
the prosperity of the country
around us, and the country around
us certainly profits by the growth
and prosperity of Wahpeton, with
its better markets and larger and
better stores and shops. Let us
pull together as we ought.

Hall Caine, the famous English

in scorching language for failing
to take England's side in the war,
while Germany and her subjects
are complaining that we do not
take Germany's side. President
Wilson has indeed difficult po-
sition to fill, but the fact that both
sides are complaining because he
does not come out for them is
evidence enough that he is occu-
plying neutral ground, as he ought.

A STRONG STATEMENT

UOV. CharleS ;. Hamlln OF the
federal reserve board makes la
strong statement in Chicago adj
dress when he says that the es-
tablishment of the new banking
system at its outset rescued the
country from the ''most ominous
condition in its history" Is it too
strong a statement?
We know what the situation
was for some weeks after the out
break of the war. We know what
it is now or since the opening of
the federal reserve system. The
war caught us under the old
banking system, with gold re-
serves scattered and subject to
the boarding instincts of thous-
ands of individual banks. 1t in
fiicted upon us conditions which
great domestic panics had brought
in the past. 1t imposed upon us,
besides, an immense liquidation
of stocks and bonds held abroad
whose immediate settlement in
gold was demanded. Our foreign
exchanges ran up to unheard-of
figures, and a virtual and disor-
derby moratorium on maturing
Indebtedness to Europe sprang
up as a las: effort to save the gold
standard.
Even this might not have avail
I'd but for the oncoming cstab-
ilshment OF the federal reserve
system so happily providing de-
forehand. It came, and with il u
newborn confidence. Mobiliza-
ton of gold reserves took the
place of their scattered boarding.

to repeal the old ''blue law

council in 1895. the resolution
adopted stating that the state
laws controlling Sunday bus;-

is thought that Bristol, Tenn /,
will not try to enforce laws
that will not be enforced in

The Marvel OF Reunions
(Richmond Evening Journal)

(Richmond Evening JournaD
OF course. everybody in
Richmond is talking and think
ing OF the reunion, and ofvery
little else. An interesting
phase OF it was brought up last
night when somebody asked it
it ever has happened before in
the world that the surviving
soldiers OF the losing side were
not only allowed, but enthusi-
astically encouraged to or
ganize, to have annual meet
ings and under their own
battle flag and amid the sounds
OF their own battle music, re-
call and celebrate the achive-
ments Of their dead comrades
and themselves. Nobody could
recall such conditions any
where in history. The case of
the French army known as
1.-The Army of Italy, was cited.
The story was told how the
survivors of this army met and
feasted annually until but one
man was left and OF how he,
alone at the once crowded
table. rose, lifted his glass and.
for the last time drank "to the
Army'-to himself the sole
remnant. In this, however,
the conditions were different.
This was an army which had
fought and won a foreign war
and the survivors of which
lived on the soil of their own
separate country. Here, win
ners and losers are part of the
same government and occupy
the same territory.
The more we think Of it and
talk over it, the more we will
marvel at the rapidity with
which the wounds of our war
were healed and its animosi-
ties smoothed away. Allow
ing all credit for the magnani-
nifty OF the Federals and of the
United States Government,
promised by Mr.. Lincoln and
General Grant in their most
famous utterances, much of the
praise for the happy result
must be given the survivors OF
the Confederate army. They
won respect by their courage.
