William Godfrey LEX, professor Of
the German language and literature,
University Of North Dakota, in the
current number Of 1.-THE Quarterly
Journal" published by the universe
ty, gives ONE interesting informa-
ton under the title, Some Facts
Concerning the Germans of North Da-
kota." He says. in part: The op-
p]ortunities for cultural historical
studies are singularly rich in North
Dakota. A powerful foreign element,
mostly from the industrious northern
countries Of Europe, is crystalizing
into American citizenship before our
very eyes.
"North Dakota is a young state,
only 26 years old, and shows all the
enthusiasm and vim which are pre-
negatives of youth. In 1870 it's vast
area Of 1913 square miles contained
a population Of only 2400 people,
most of whom were Indians. After
the admission of the territory of Da-
kota into the Union a great influx of
population took place. Government
statistics show that during the first
20 years of statehood North Dakota
enjoyed an increase in population OF
over 202 per cent. In this tremendous
human wave that poured itself over
this prairie state, there were. OF
course, many native Americans who
| changed their Meditation chiefly for
| economic reasons. The greater part
of this flood, however, consisted of
people wholly or in part Of foreign
blood. The United States census re
port of 1910 recapitulates the figures
for the year 1900, that is, eleven years
after North Dakota became a state.
At that time, these figures show that
20.6 per cent of our population were
native whites of native parentage;
Ais per cent were native whies OF
foreign or mixed parentage (by the
Figures Interesting. "
term mixed it being understood that
at least one parent was of foreign
blood; and 25.S per cent were for:
eign whites. The figures for 1910 are
no less interesting and show a nor.
NAL development. The per cent OF
native whites of native parentage
has increased from G0.6 to 2S.2 pei
cent in ten years; the number oil
whites of mixed or foreign parentage
has increased from Ais to 1875 pei
cent, while the foreign white popula
ton has decreased from 35.3 to 27.1
per cent of the entire population. The
total white population of North Da
kota in 1910 was 5G9,855, of which
number 162.461 were Of native white
parentage, 251 ,236 of foreign or mix
ed parentage, and 156,15S were for

DEMOCRATIC DEFICITS.

1t is probable that the nation
al deficit will exceed $~35,O0O,OOO,
one of the greatest in the his
tory of the nation. The postotice
department has an excess OF some
$40 900, 900 or $15,OO0,OOO of expendi'
lures over income. This is signiti.
cant in view of the fact that the rail
roads are carrying certain classes OF
mail at a heavy loss and substituting
the department to the extent of mil
lions yearly. :,
The low tariff schedules, combined
with mismanagement, is responsible
for the general deficit. A decrease
in the postoffice revenue is attribut'
able to extravagant management and
the Industrial depression evident dur
ing the last year, especially in the
large manufacturing |%centers.
Every attempt to bolster up federal
revenues has failed. The income tax
will bring in much less than was
expected and the receipts are small
compared to decreases in revenue
from other sources.

Whether the slipshOd methods of
the itinerant politicians can suspend
the immigration bill should be tested
in court. This measure has been re-
ferred in a manner which doubtless
the courts will not uphold.
1t is to be hoped that some public
spirited citizen or body Of tax payers
who have the interests Of the state
more at heart than some Of its elect
i've officials, will step forward and de-
eide the sufficiency OF these petitions
which Secretary of State Hall seemed
sc eager to accept. a -s

JUSTICE HUGHES.

50 often judges forget the non,
partisan nature of their position and
dip into politics. Too frequently the
dignity of the bench is lowered
through party manipulation.
But Justice Hughes Of the United
States supreme court is a refreshing
exception. He refuses to allow his
name to be used in connection with
the presidential nomination. Silence
in the face Of the boom recently start
ed for him would have indicated a
tacit consent.
Justice Hughes upheld the tradl
tons of the position he holds by
promptly squelching his enthusiastic
admirers.
The highest tribunal Of the nation
should remain unsullied by politics

GERMANS UtSAPPOiN Ell.
German.Americans are d%isappoint-
ed because Bryan refuses to lend his
voice to their propaganda against
the shipment Of American munitions
to such belligerent nations as could
come and get these supplies. His
Chicago meeting was called off, be-
cause the Commoner refused to sub
scribe to this theory. Recently The
F'atherland, the organ Of the German
sympathizers, asked significantly
whether Bryan would come out
against the expectation of munitions
Of war.
Dyed-in-the.wool and blown-in-the'
bottle pacifists usually are loud
against the expectation OF arms or
even their manufacture. Disarma'
ment is one of the cardinal features
of their creed. y 7a tE
.Bryan's position is hardly logicaI
as the great %pacificator. The signiti
canoe of his resignation grows more
political as time discloses the real
motives that actuated it. From the
source he hoped to gain a following
he has been repudiated. The natural
lied Germans do not love a gutter
any more than the naturalized citi
Zens of other nations.

MRS. BECKER AND MRS. THAW.

MRS. BECKER AND MRS. THAW.
New York presents two vivid CON
trasts in Mrs. Becker and Mrs. Thaw.
One is loyal to her husband under
death sentence and forsaken by all
but the woman who sWore before God
to love and cherish him.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, the little but
terhy of the footlights, is not by her
husbands side. She has not gained
in estimation by this desertion. How
ever reprehensible Thaw's act was,
the world respects the loyalty of a
wife.
my life would be hell if Thaw is
freed she cried recently.
Mrs. Becker, quiet and stunning
publicity, has worked necessarily to
free her husband, in whose innocence
she has the utmost belief.
Whether she is right or wrong in
her convictions, the world admires
her courage and her devotion, while
it can but despise the other type OF
a woman who only thinks Of Herself
and who is now in hiding with two
maids, her Nson, her dancing partner
and a parrot.

Teeth That Won't Stop Growing.

- 49, 1'T"TLJ-F.F : a#. : .
One Of the most extraordinary cases
known to dental science is that of a
Virginia man whose teeth won't stop
growing. About five months ago he
discovered that his teeth were becom-
ing longer and more prominent. He
consulted a dentist, who advised him
TO have them trimmed. He did so, and
soon after they began to grow faster
than at first. He had them sawed off
again, but they continued to grow.
The best doctors were called in, but
none can tell the cause of this strange
affection. At this time his teeth are
almost an inch long and are turning
backward in his mouth, SO that eating
Is difficult; hence there are fears that
the disease may result fatally.
