SCIENCE SCHOOL NOTES

Pres. Smith left Tuesday morning
for Bismarck to attend a session Of
the State Board of Education of which
he is a member. He will return the
latter part Of the week.
Quite little honor has come to the
Science School and one of her stud.
ents through the acceptance, on the
part Of Speaker-elect Hanson of the
House and Lieutenant-G Governor
Frame, of gavels made by Mr.. Paul
Simonson, student at the Science
School. The gavels were made of old
walnut and birch picked up around
Wahpeton by Prof. Clipfell after ran
sacking all the old relics in the neigh
borhood. The gavel presented to the
Lieutenant Governor is trimmed in
gold while that presented to the
bears the monogram of the Science
School.
The concert by the Norfeet sisters
assisted by Mrs. Winters given at the
speaker is trimmed in silver. Each
opera house Monday night as the third
number Of the S. S. S. lecture course,
proved to be exceedingly good. The
vlolinist was superbly skillful. Mrs.
Winters possesses very charming
lyric-soprano voice and rendered some
very fine selections The pianist was
well received even though she was at
an obvious disadvantage in not having
high grade instrument.
Lincoln Writ will be the last num-
Der Of the lecture course. He will be
the attraction Jan. 26 and something
very fine may be expected Of him as
ne is noted author, lecturer and trav-
eler. He has trotted the globe and has
had a long experience in arctic travel.

ABOLISHED Room mo-. =

The last act Of The old board OF
county commissioners before its
final adjournment was to cancel
their lease on that famous Room
No. Z, kick its last key out of the
door and profess a death bed re.
pentance for its moral and polit-
ical sins. This accounts for the
long delay of the Democratic ma
jority members of the ne wboard
in arriving at a conclusion as to
what Republican papers to make
the official papers this year. They
had no where to 20 to caucus. and
it took them a whole week to
choose between the Walcott Re-
porter and the Wyndmere Pho
neer.

SHIPPING PROFITS

Philip Hanson Of New York, whose
own shipping interests entitle him to
speak as an authority, declares in a
letter to the Philadelphia Record, that
"private interests will never build an
American merchant marine, because
they can operate their vessels cheaper
under foreign flags; and we will new
er grant subsidy, because the nor
NAL profits in the shipping business
are SO large, that even under the in
creased cost of American operations,
extraordinarily large dividends are
possible, and no Congress will dare to
grant subsidy to make up the differ
ence between the large profits posi-
BILE under the American flag and the
greater profits possible under foreign
flags"
These are frank words, and their
importance are not to be underesti-
mated. Here is a man who has him
self established a successful steamship
line, testifying that the normal profits
of the shipping business, even under
the increased cost of American opera
ton over operation under foreign flags
are large, that Extraordinarily large
dividends are possible" Unlike some
of his business competitors, Mr.. Han
son is content with such profits and
does not ask that they be swollen by
special legislation in the form of shin
subsidies.
Mr.. Hanson's statement is illumi-
mating 1t reveals the true reason for
the opposition to the Administrators
shipping bill. Selfish interests, not
content with extraordinarily large
dividends" cry for still more, and
hope to secure them by means of ship
subsidies. The establishment of a
Government owned merchant marine
would demolish their last hope for
ship subsidy legislation Hence the
frenzied opposition to the Admins
tration measure.

Nineteen hundren and fifteen, which
will be notable year in history, is al.
so notable as marking the hundreth
anniversary of number of important
events. A hundred years ago, Europe
was dominated by the successes and
failures of Napoleon Bonaparte. The
centennial of his escape from the Elba
will fall on Feb. 26; of his arrival at
Paris on March 20, and of his defeat
at Waterloo on June 10. On Oct. II,
1915, the exile Napoleon landed at St.
Helena, where he was doomed to
spend the balance Of his days in the
captivity of his enemies.
In American history the most spec
tacular event of hundred years ago
was the winning of the battle of New
Orleans by Andrew Jackson on Jan
uary 8. 1t was small affair compared
with the stupendous conflict at Water
loo, and it actually occurred after the
treaty of peace between Great Britain
and the United States had been signed
news of which had not reached the
contending forces. But the battle of
New Orleans made Andrew Jackson
president, hence most import bear
ing on the future history of the Unit
ed States.
Thus two great figures in the two
hemispheres - Napoleon Bonaparte
and Andrew Observation-Disclosures
great crises in the year 1915. With
Napoleon that year marked the elm
ak of his power and his permanent
downfall. With Jackson it marked his
emergence into a national figure and
the beginning of his real career. Who
can measure the influence which these
two men, so unlike in most respects,
yet each possessed of a dominating
forceful personality that inspired un-
qestioning devotion and hero worship,
exerted upon the century that is past !?

COTTON IS QUIET AND CLOSE STEADY More Optimistic Feeling Created in the New

New York. February 1S.-cotton WIS very quiet today but ruled generally steady and closed steady at a net ssd- vance of to Il points.
 Cables were about as due on yester- days New York close and the market was somewhat irregular at the start with first prices ? points lower to points high CT. It seemed, however, as though seat teriag long accounts had been pretty well evened up during the recent period of more or less steady liquidation, for there was very little cotton for sales after the. call. Prices soon turned steadier on scat. tered covering and little trade buying.
 The steadier ruling of exchange the ab-' sence of southern selling, which could be attributed to increased pressure of act ual, and the continued heavy export, movement seemed to be cheating rather more optimistic feeling around the ring and offerings continued very light on the rally.
 Demand was at no time active or gen- eral, but the market reached it's best point in the late trading and closed! at practically the high point.
 Reports that the heavy export had been partly due to a very heavy use of cotton in the manufacture of explosives Were circulating on the advance, and the ab- sence of unfavorable shipping develop ments may also have promoted spnse of the local covering
 There were a few Liverpool rhers in the market early, mostly for purchases of May against sales of later delivers bes. but the bulk of the trading seemed to lse local.

 some 20 years after Gods prediction of tho calamities that would befan Eli and his family. the tragedy related in this lesson occurred. In all those years ap- parently Hi, now as years old, had not purged the service of the Lord He had allowed matters to continue in the hands of his sons, notwithstanding their dis honesty in tho things of God, and thoir immortality and pernicious example Sam uel may have been absent at this time, and for years before. Wherever he was we may be sure he was B true servant of God
 We may assume that the evil example of the priests, Ellis sons. had a demoraiiz- ing effect upon Israel. According to God S covenant with the nation, He was bound to punish them. A fresh invasion of the PEilistines took place. The Israelites met them and were defeated In their chagrin groping after some help, they looked to God, just as the nations of Europe to- day are looking to God for help. and praying in vain.
 There is today the same attempt to bring God into the war. to invoke the as- sistance of religious symbols, etc. The lsraelites had more ground for so doing than have the warning kingdoms of to- day; for God had declared that Israel was His special nation, and that He would protect them as long as they were loyal to Him. But the kingdoms of this world have no such divine promise, no ground for such expectations of divine aid. They falsely style themselves Christian king doms. "Chrstendom;" whereas they have neither part nor lot with the Lord. He recognizes no nations except natural Is- rael of the past and spiritual Israel of the present "Ye Ohe true church) are a holy nation, a peculiar people, a royal priesthood"
 The Israelites doubtless had read how the ark went before them in the wilder ness journey; how it was in the midst of Jordan when they crossed over dry shod, and was in the procession that marched around Jericho whep the walls fel. So they determined to bring up the ark Of God and put it into the battle, thinking thus to insure victory. They reasoned apparently, that God would not permit the ark Of the covenant to be injured or captured: and hence victory would be bound to come to Israel.
 The people forgot that they had been living irreligioGsly. in violation sof their covenant with God, and required punish ment. They forgot that the two priests by no means represented God and His righteousness-that they were thieves and robbers, garbed priests of God; that they were immoral, impure, posing IS the
