ISlO34, II RECEIVED
FROM DELINQUENT TAX

Mandan. Jan. 24.-Morton county
this year has received more money in
delinquent taxes from the tax sale
than ever before in its history, is the
statement of Deputy County Treasur-
er Furness.
According to the figures given out
today the tax sale last December
yielded $11,034.77. This is about
$4,000 more than was received last
year.
Another significant fact is that
more land was redeemed before tax
sale and less land was offered for
taxes than ever before. all pointing to
show the general prosperity OF the
county. The number OF parcels Offer
ed at the tax sale was in fact small
when the size of the county is con-
sidered and compared with other
counties of the state.

NATIONAL GUARD.

The signs at Washington point 10
the strengthening Of the National
Guard as the chief measure Congress
| is likely to adopt for land defense.
And this is plainly in accord with
public sentiment.
The American public has a genuine
affection for its militia, and the pop
ularity of this institution al the pres
ent time is unqIestionable. All over
the country the National Guard has
made big gains in membership More
men are taking military training III
the United States today than at any
time since the Spanish war, and most
OF them are guardsmen. They are
men of excellent quality, too, who
with little polishing off after their
prescribed drill could be made into
soldiers worthy of the army.
Measures for the increase of the
guard can be adopted without the re
sistance invited by proposals for Il
big standing army, or for a Cont.
mental Army" or any other new body
of reservists. The Dick law, which
considerably increased the size and
efficiency of the National Guard after
the Spanish war, may be superseded
by plan putting more of the expense
on the federal government, and in
suring that the government will be
able to use the guard without a con
stitutional hitch in case OF need. Pre-
sumably this can be done, although
state sovereignty offers difficulties.
Possibly the states may be per.
suaded to adopt uniform militia
law, putting their troops at the dis
posal of the federal government in
case Of foreign war That is diff
cult proceeding, however, and will
take years to accomplish In the
meantime some workable device may
be found, such as pledging militia
men to join the army if the President
issues a call.
One of the first things to be done,
if this organization is to be built up
into dependable branch OF national
defense, is to relieve militiamen OF
the disagreeable duty of serving as
police in labor troubles. This has
been the chief obstacle to the devel-
0pment of the Guard 1t is possible
for the various states to develop
separate body of police for such du..
ties, as Pennsylvania has done With
that objection removed, and encour-
agement added in the way Of better
armories and equipment, there would
be little difficulty in recruiting the
National Guard up to any reasonable
membership.

RELIEVING DYE FAMINE.

According to DR.. Thomas II. Nor.

the American production of dyes has

It takes time, of course, to estab

dyestuffs and the high prices paid
are too tempting for manufacturers

RUINED RAILROADS.

We may talk of the footing" Of the
Chicago T. Alton, the San Francisco,
the New Haven and other railroad
systems, but there's something in
comparably worse than predatory fin
ance. 1t is seen in the present plight
of the Mexican railroads.
An American correspondent reports
that Of 729 locomotives operated, by
the Mexican National Railways fbe-
fore the revolution, only l39 are still
fit to use. or 1892 freight cars,
only 3,4O0 are known to be hanging
together. Passenger cars have al
most entirely disappeared, and the
few that are left will have to be re-
built The roadbeds are in wretched
condition. TwO-thirds of the ties on
1000 miles of road need replacing.
Perhaps half the rails are worn out
or destroyed. Nearly all the railroad
bridges in the country must be re-
built. Everywhere the stations and
freight houses and telegraph equip
ment are gone. Even the principal
building and repair shops have been
burned and the machinery destroyed
All this damage to the Transports
ton industry must be repaired be-
fore the other industries on which
the cOuntry's prosperity depends can
be re.established. ra -#rr.
1t will take years to sweep away
the wreckage and restore normal car
rying facilities. 1t will take vast
quantity OF American steel and ma
chinery, too, although the recOnstruc-
ton orders We get from Mexico will
never compensate for the losses.

NEW BRAND OF DEMOCRATS.

There has been schism in the
ranks OF Democracy. Progressive
Democrats is the title OF the new
wing. Whether they are Bryan OF
Wilson is not known, but they evi'
IDENTIFY propose TO oppose the senator
ial ambitions Of John Burke.
The Progressive Democrats" Or
ganized at Fargo last week and
adopted the usual articles Of faith,
but nowhere was the name Of Presi'
dent Wilson mentioned, which gives
a suggestion at least that the Bryan
men might have had hand in the
new organization which will battle
for political and economic freedom.
F. O. HeIlstrom was one OF the del
egateS and We note that William o.
son of Valley City has been endorsed
for national committeeman and the
following for delegates to the 81.
Louis convention:
D. l.. Etair, Newburg: p. A. Scbu
maker, Lisbon: J. G.. Leum, Mayyi)le;
Carl Bichler, Eelz; F. O. Hellstrom
Bismarck; Joseph Moran, Neche; J
b. Hagelberger, Alpha Tim OCop
nor, New Rockford; Dave Hamilton
Eckman, and J. E. Brady, Jud vii
liam Olson of Valley City was en-
dOrsed as national committeeman.
Resolutions were adopted in fay
or of legislation by congress that will
protect producer Of agricultural prod
ucts as congress accOrds TO the hnan.
cier and the banker; that the laws be
enacted to give financial aid and
backing to the farmer in marketing
his grain; that the credit of the Unit
ed States government be used 10 en-.
able producers of HOn,perishabIe
farm products TO obtain warehouses
shipping and marketing facilities f0I
storing, grading and marketing their
products; that the limit placed upon
the postal savings depositor be re
moved; that the government should
own and operate merchant vessels To
carry produce Of the industries OF Ia
United States 10 all ports Of the
world; that congress should levy an
import duty on all munitions Of wal
in order to make up the deficiency in
the national revenues, and that the
government should own and operate
railroads, telegraph and teiegraphic
systems of the country.
j. G. Lisbon is chairman of the new
organization and A. ". FTeie, Berlin
n. d., is secretary-treasurer.
This split probably Dressges the
early entry of HeIlstrOm into the
fight for United States senator in OPP
position to John Burke who has al
ways maintained studied ihdiffer
ence to the political ambitions Of the
former warden OF the state peniteD
tiary.

Of these four men is the probable

tons of the countrywide poll re-
Gently taken by Inc Literary Digest,
published by Funk & Wagnalls Co.

Justice Hughes seems TO count
himself out by his determination not
to draw the Supreme Court into
politics. Borah, because he is a far
Westerner, is being discounted by
eastern political observers. This
leaves the Republican pre-convention
campaign contest between Elihu
Root and Theodore Burton, both for

forgive McGovern for the course he
pursued at the republican national
convention four year ago, when the
latter hit up a close political com

convention against the will of La

With assurance given that Cover
