LETTER WRITING STAGE

Wilson's administration has reach
ed the letter writing stage.
This is the time when all the lead.
ers think something must be done to
create sentiment for 1916.
N Everyone is low on specifics to fit
the occasion, so letter writing is
turned to as the best medium for
starting something.
William Jennings Bryan writes
back to some political side wheeler
in Nebraska OF the timely subject OF
prohibition. There is a slight sugges.
ton that the press be taken into con.
fidence, and the letter bursts forth as
q fine eulogy upon the progress made
by the administration.

The McHenry County State bank is
now doing business in the old bank
building, they have leased the prop
erty. A. |. Arriyee has moved what
was saved from the stock Of the Ana
moose Cash Store to the building be-
hind the Aanamoose National bank.
The stock has not been adjusted as
yet but Mr.. Arrivee says his loss will
be about $4,000. AS far as we have
been able to learn, the loss from the
fire to buildings and stocks will
amount to almost SIS. 900, about $780,
900 more than was estimated last
week.
P. Fisher, who resides just out OF
Bucyrus, had a very disastrous fire,
which destroyed his barn, granary,
chicken house, machine shed, hay
house, 200 bushels of oats, so bushels
wheat and some other grains, all his
hay, tools and farm machinery. The
fire started from an ash pile and had
made such Roadway before it was dis.
covered that it was impossible to save
anything. A strong east wind , was
blowing which made it hard to fight
the fire. The loss will be a severe
one to Mr.. Fisher, as there was no
insurance. Mr.. Fisher commenced
the erection of a new barn at once.

Their mother dead back of the Ger
man lines in East Prussia, only thirty
miles from where they live in Russia,
John and George Baker of Minot will
learn of her death only when they re.
ceive letters from the Minot relative.
Letters to tell of her death will have
travelled over 10000 miles. The strict
military regulations prevented direct
word going from the mothers home
to her sons.
Burleigh county will be represented
at the boys encampment to be held in
connection with the state fair in this
city during the coming summer. 10y
al Craven of Menoken has been NAM
ed as one of the boys to represent the
county. The other delegate will be
appointed in the near future. Each
county has been asked to send two
boys to the encampment. They are
appointed by the superinte 1dent Of
schools. The fair association provides
sleeping quarters, meals, etc, during
their stay here.
It will be remembered that during
the first trial of the Russell case in Bos
ton when Ferdinand G.. Almy, the ad-
ministrator of the estate, was putting
in testimony furnished by detectives,
that his client vas not the rightful
heir that Attorney l.. A. Simpson,
who was conducting the trial for "Da-
kota Dan," dared Amy and the estate
to arrest Dan, claiming that such a
course was their plain duty if he was
not what he represented himself to
be. The district attorney was also
asked to act at that time but declined
because the issue involved was on
trial in another court. If arrested,
Russell will be entitled to a jury trial
on the question of his identity. This
is what he has always asked for and
heretofore has been denied. The fol.
lowing taken from The Boston Globe
of April 16, 1915, shows that such a
course is now being again pushed and
perhaps this time'it may succeed:
"a petition signed by 1900 Melrose
citizens was yesterday presented to
Atty. Gen. Henry c. Attwill by Will
liam R. Scharton, counsel for Dakota
Dam Russell, and several other
friends of the Russell-estate claimant,
asking that Daniel Bloke Russell (Da-
kota DAM be properly punished as an
impostor and perjurer, If he be one,
and if not that his rights be vindicated
and his name and birthright be res
tored.' Mr.. Attwill took theapetition
under advisementG The purpose OF
the petition is to provide for a friend
ly prosecution on the part Of the
State, which will enable Dakota Dan
to again present his claim as a Rus
sell heir"

A CLASSIC

One of the classic blunders of the
present administration is now before
the court Of customs appeals, and a
decision is looked for at ar early
date.
The court is expected to interpret
the meaning of the provision in the
Underwood tariff bill proposing 70
give a five per cent discount in Gus.
toms duties on merchandise imported
in American vessels. Thus far that
clause has failed in it's purpose, just
as the tariff measure or which it IS
a part failed to provide adequate rev.
enue.
Enacted October Is, 1913, it failed
on it's first test, and that test applied,
too, by the then attorney general less
than 80 days after the bill was signed.
No sooner had the tariff bill been
presented to the secretary of the
treasury for administration than q
doubt arose in his mind as to the
validity Of the five per cent discoun:
provision. He appealed for advice to
Attorney General McReynolds, who is
now on the supreme bench. The pro-
vision was pronounced imperative.
"The five per cent discount to Am.
erican vessels cannot be given" is the
language Of the attorney general quot
ed by the secretary, without im-
pairing the stipulation of existing
treaties between the United States
and various other powers, and consa-
quently the subsection is imperative"
Acting on this opinion the secretary
issued an order to customs collectors,
instructing them to make no allow
ance of discount on duties under this
provision.
Importers who had relied on the
law appealed to the board of general
appraisers. Their ruling resulted in
further confusion, and neither side be-
ing satisfied, the case was taken to
the court Of customs appeals, more
than a year after the law had passed.
The Democratic committee report
on the five per cent provision defined
it as "a discrimination in favor CT
American shipping, designed to build
up u merchant marine and keep at
home millions of dollars now being
paid to foreign vessels to carry our
products to foreign markets."
Yet although they fully realized the
tremendous importance of this meas
ure, which they said involved mil
Ions of dollers,, they lacked the fore
sight to consult their own attorney
general as to the possibility of enact
ing it into law. They had a vague
idea of what they wanted, adopted a
vague method of trying to secure it.
and by careless guess work threw the
whole matter into the courts.

INDIAN cusroM or MARRIAGE.

INDIAN CUSTOM OF MARRIAGE.
In some parts Of Southern India the
natives have a custom of marriage be-
tween cousins, which is result OF a
strange compromise between two OPP
posite rules Of succession. The natives
are Dravidians, who have come under
Brahmanical influence. Among the
Dravidians the mother was the head Of
the family and all descent and inheri-
lance came through her, The Brah-
manical rule of succession is through
the father.
They have adopted the custom Of a
man marrying the daughter of his
mothers brother, or his fathers sister
or Of his own sister. In this way a
community in which all property is In
herited through the mother conforms
to the paterlinear system and so keeps
the property In the family.
