come to the exercise Of these moral
qualities, the result is one and The
same.
Some men ar born with the know
ledge of these moral quantities; some
acquire it as the result of education;
some acquire it as the result of hard
experience But when the knowledge
is acquired, it comes to one and the
same thing. Some exercise t ese NOR
al qualities naturally and easily; some
because they find it advantageous to
do so some with effort and difficulty
But when the achievement is made it
comes to one and the same thing"
The effort to strengthen the interest
I'm Confucianism is apparent through
out the vernacular press of China.
Scholars are urged to visit his tomb
at Chufou and more careful reading
Of his classics is advised Young men
are told that Confucius began gather
ing disciples around him and teaching
the principles of good government at
the early age of twenty-five. His ser
vices as minister of crime are review
ed and the marvellous abolition of
crime under his direction is empha-
sized. His great success as a teacher
in the latter years of his life when he
gathered three thousand disciples a
round him is stressed, and readers are
constantly reminded of the enduring
fame Of this teacher who had the prop

monarchial plan. President Yuan Shi-
ksi and his supporters are constantly
quoting the ancient sage Advocates
Of the republic are also using Confu-
cius freely, and urging that the change
to monarchy would be a violation of a.
Confucian oath and consequently DIS
credit the teachings of the great NOR
al leader i'm the eyes of the world.
Plans are now in preparation by
government officials for the erection
of a great bronze statue of COnfucius
i'm Peking. At present the ancient sage
is represented i'm the various temples
only by pictorial images or sacred
tablets. These do not create the vivid
impression of the great teacher which
the Chinese officials desire, and the
movement is under way to place
bronze statues of him in Confucian
temples throughout the republic
Mandates have recently been issued
by President Yuan Shi-kai strengthen
ing the position of Confucius' teach
ings in Chinese schools, and the socie-
ty for the preservation of peace has
constantly quoted the sayings of Con
fucius concerning loyalty to the en-
peror in support of the restoration Of
II monarchy
Four Confucian canonical books are
taught in Chinese schools and no stu
dents who are not thoroughly yersed
in them are regarded as well educated
Quotations from these hooks written
nearly twenty-five hundred years ago,
are frequently used in nearly all gov
ernmental communications. The ad-
yocates of absolute concentration of
government in an emperor are espec-
tally fond Of such Confucian excerpts

LAWYER AGAIN
WINS DECISION
FORMER CAVALIER COUNTY
LAWYER AGAIN NARROWLY
ESCAPES DISBARMENT

Langdon, N. D.-Attorney H. b.
Doughty we'll known member of the
Cavalier county bar in the years ago
and who since his leaving here has
been practicing at Williston and
other points in this state, is noted in
the daily papers of Monday as having
won out in case brought against
him in the state supreme court ask
ing for his disbarment. On Satur-
day afternoon the court ordered the
disbarment proceedings against At
torney Doughty dismissed The orig
inal cause was brought against At
torney Doughty owing to allegations
made to. the effect that he had been
guilty of embezzlement, resulting
from a failure on his part to turn
over funds that had been entrusted
to him by client. Attorney H. B..
Doughty may be said to have been the
first lawyer to have entered upon the
practice of his profession in Cavalier
county, having first opened an office
in Olga in 1886, previous to which
time he had been member of the law
firm of Borden & Doughty, at st.
Thomas, in Pembina county. He was
always conceded to lawyer of more
than usual ability, and especially sue
cessful in criminal practice.

INHERITANCE TAX
DECLARED VALID
SUPREME COURT HANDS DOWN
DECISION AGAINST HEIRS
OF F. B. STRAUS

An opinion holding valid the inheri-
tance tax law passed at the last ses-
sion of the state legislature, was hand
ed down late Monday by the state su-
preme court, according to message
received today from Bismarck by L. H.
Birdzell, former member of the state
tax commission.
The case decided was that of the
heirs of the late F. B. Straus Of Bis
marck, who brought action against
the county Judge of Burleigh county
to force an accounting of the estate
before the 5 per cent tax provided by
law against estates left to nephews
and nieces, was paid.
This case was decided in the lower
court against the heirs, and on ap-
peal to the supreme court the higher
tribunal has held this section Of the
law valid, unfolding the decision Of
county and district judges.
According to this decision the 5 per
cent tax must be paid before the final
accounting is made.
F. f. McCurdy of Bismarck repre-
sented the heirs to the estate, while
the state tax commission to whom the
enforcement of the la wwas assigned,
was represented by L. H. Birdzell, G.
E. Wallace and Attorney General An
drew Miller.

SO CONVICTIONS

E. B. McCutcheon, chief game war
den for the north half Of the state,
has just completed his report for the

of resident licenses was in Ward coun-
ty, the total number issued being L.
952 as against 1867 in 1918 and 1000

SPRINGBROOK MAN
KILLS HIMSELF
WELL KNOWN RESIDENT OF
SPRINGBROOK SHOOTS HIM.
SELF WITH RIFLE THURSDAY

Henry D. Schaf we'll known resi-
dent of Springbrook was found dead
in his bed last Thursday. Coroner
Distad was notified and held a post
mortem the same day. The verdict
was suicide. Schaf was undressed
and in bed when found. A 22-rifle was
by his side and this was pointed to-
wards his head. It was a single shot
and there was an empty shell in the
barrel which had been snapped twice
showing that the shell failed to ex-
plode the first time and that it has
been taken out and turned around part
way before attempting to shoot again.
The bullet entered the head about an
inch above the right ear and pene-
trated the brain causing instant death.
Funeral services were held Monday,
the remains being buried in the Ep-
ping cemetery. Rev. Distad conduct
ed the funeral.
The deceased was about forty-five
years of age and was well known in
Sprinebrook and throughout the coun-
ty. He conducted the Victoria Ele-
vator at Springbroog and his books
were found to be in good shape. 1t
was thought for some time that Schaff
was not just right mentally and that
he had been acting peculiar for some
time,

CAN'T GIVE THEM
SELF GOVERNMENT
FORMER PRESIDENT SAYS SELF
GOVERNMENT MUST BE AC-
QUIRED NOT GIVEN

Washington, Jan. 2.-Former Pres
ident Taft appeared before the senate
committee which is conducting the
hearings on the administrators
Philippine independence bill and told
it that the American government can
not give the islands self government
becaesu that cannot be "given," ut
must be acquired" said Taft.
He read from one of President Will
sons books a lengthy definition Of
self government to prove his conten-
ton. The former president also said
that time was required to make the
Filipinos capable of self government
and it would be the time required to
make them English speaking.
"When President Mckinley sent me
to the Philippines" said Taft, in open
ing his statement ~ told him that l
thought that we ought not to be in the
islands. He said to me that we had
the bear by the tail and that we had
to stay. But the idea then was that
we would get out just as soon as
we could. Our first purpose in being
there was to get out"
"The present discussion" continued
Taft, "must depend good deal upon
what you mean by self government. l
can do no better than quote from the
president Of the United States.' Here
Taft read President Wilson's defini-
ton Of self government, setting forth
that self government is mot mere
form of institutions, but a form Of
character, a growing Of a people to
political maturity"
1--WE cannot" said Taft, "give the
Philippines self government because
it cannot be given. We cannot pre-
sent the Filipino people with a char
acter. It must be acquired one way
to acquire it through hard knocks as
the Anglo-Saxon race acquired it."

MRS. M. BLOOM is
AGAIN DEFEATED
SENATE ONCE MORE TURNS
DOWN HER APPOINTMENT
AS POSTMISTRESS

Washington, Jan. 5.-The nomina-
ton of Mrs. Marporie Bloom to be
postmistress at Devils Lake, N. D.,
was again rejected by the senate yes
terday. This is the second time that
Mrs. Bloom has been rejected for this
Office by the senate.
The nomination of Mrs. Bloom af-
ter the first rejection, occasioned a
great deal of comment among sena-
tors.
Mrs. Bloom is now filling the office
by virtue of an appointment made by
President Wilson, while the senate
was in recess.
The Bloom case promises to become
one Of the most important in the row
that has broken out between the pres
ident and the senate over questions of
patronage.
Whether Mrs. Bloom will be re-
nominated is matter of lively specu-
lation, but that she stands no chance
of confirmation is certain. She was
rejected today by unanimous vote.
The senate today confirmed the fol-
lowing Minnesota postmasters: Oscar
T. Stromme, Elbow Lake; S. G. An
derson, Jr., Hutchinson.
The differences between the Presi-
dent and some senators over federal
appointments, resulted last night in
the senate judiciary committee order
ing an inquiry into the authority of
the president to make a recess ap-
pointment and fill vacancy created
during session Of congress. A sub
committee was also named.

SCHOOLS LOSE MISS McANDREW

Everyone interested in the Willis
ton schools and every pupil attending
them was very sorrv indeed to learn
that our Principal Miss McAndrew
would not return for the balance of
this year. When she arrived home she
found that her mother was in poor
health and decided to remain at home.
Miss McAndrew has been with the
Williston schools for many years un-
til people came to think Of the schools
and Miss McAndrew as one and the
same. She was a favorite with every
one and loved by all her pupils. Will
liston may get another principal but
there was only one Miss McAndrew
and her place will be hard indeed to
fill.

NEW OFFICERS
ARE SWORN IN
NEW COUNTY OFFICIALS SWORN
IN YESTERDAY-COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS BUSY

The board of county commissioners
met Monday and got busy at once
checking up the different officers in the
court house. There were only four
changes this year and all were
Ingwaldson county Register of Deeds,
VIM. G. Owens states attorney and
M. ]. Borden county commissioner.
Miss Anna Peterson is the new
county superintendent of schools, Oie
Ingwaldson county Register Of Deeds
and NJ. j. Borden county commits
sioner.
The retiring officers are among the
best the county has ever had and
leave behind them enviable records.
Mrs. Tatem has been superintendent
of schools for the past eight years
and has given the office her undivided
attention. As result of her untiring
efforts Williams county, although one
of the youngest in the state, ranks
among the best in schools and espec-
tally in attendance. Miss Peterson
the new official has been deputy un-
der Mrs. Tatem for several years and
her experience will enable her to make
most efficient superintendent.
She has appointed Miss Adele
Mounger as Office deputy and Miss
Bertha Palmer as field deputy. Miss
Palmer is we'll known here having
taught in the public schools and her
many friends will be pleased to see
her return to the city. Miss Mounger
has been deputy for several years
and has been given the same position
she held with Mrs. Tatem.
L. o. Higley, the retiring register
'of deeds has held the office for three
terms. He has made record in his
office second to none in North Da-
kota and in fact the efficient methods
used have attracted attention in sew
eral of the surrounding states.
Ole Ingwaldson, the new register
is we'll known throughout the county.
He has had several years experience
in bank work which should be of con-
siderable assistance to him in his new
duties as register.
Miss Lena Grow has been appointed
Deputy Register of Deeds. She has
been employed in the Registers office
for several years and is familiar with
the work.
VIM. G. Owens is the new states at
torney. He has served as deputy in
this position several times and has
held q similar position in Minnesota
so is well qualified and will without
doubt make an excellent official and
continue the good work carried on by
the retiring attorney U. L. Burdick.
NJ. J. Borden is our new commits
sioner from Williston taking the place
Of Martin Borsheim. Mr.. Borden has
had considerable experience in mat
tiers Of this kind and will make good
commissioners.
