is a greater contributing factor in

DANISH WEST INDIES,

There seems to be no good reason
why the United States shouldn't buy
the Danish West Indies if Denmark
is disposed to sell them reasonably.
+ tOf course, the: islands are not worth
much. Most of them are fertile
enough, but their total area is small,
and there is little TO recommend them
for exploitation or development We
still have plenty of room for develop
ment in neighboring Porto Rico,
which has the same climatic and ag-
ricultural conditions. Besides. we
might buy, along with the islands, a
negro strike" which has been in
progress lately.
But Denmark might sell them to
somebody else-England, for in
stance. 1t is said that England
wants them for a naval base. And
it's not precisely pleasant just now
to think of England having a strong
base for warships right next door to
Porto Rico. and within easy dis
lance of the Panama canal. of which
POntO Rico is sort of Atlantic bull.
wark
The Danish West Indies lie. rough.
ly, near the middle of the great chain
Of islands running from Florida
| around to the northeastern corner of
South America. There is Cuba, then
Haiti and Porto Rico. then the Danish
islands. Beyond is the chain of Less
er Antilles, nearly all French and
British. We'd feel safer if we had
| that little link in the chain than if
European power had it.

SEVERAL CASES IN.
DISTRICT COURT

The case of The First National
Bank of Garrison against The Bis
marck Commission Company, which
was tried before Judge w. l.. Nuessle
in district court Monday, the court
directed the verdict for the defend
ant for the lack of evidence.
The bank institution was. suing to
recover money on draft which the
bank paid to George Johnson of Gar
rison. The evidence failed to show
that Johnson was an agent OF the
Bismarck Commission company and
the case was settled in favor of the
latter.
The case of Theodore Engel against
Jacob kurle, who was suing for dam.
ages caused by prairie fire on the
plaintiffs farm, northeast of Wilton
near the Mclean county line, is still
in the hands of the jury. The case
was given to the jury Saturday eve.

entire day before the court.
A verdict in the case of Anna
Knauss against a firm of physicians
of the capital city. was returned in
favor of the defendants.
The case of Sarandos against
Frank Rice to recover wages for
work done in harvest time last year

parties live near Sterling. Rice
claims he paid Sarandos, while the
latter contends there ia some wages

COMMUNICATING BIG BUSINESS.

COMMUNICATING BIG BUSINESS
1.-THE glory of this country has been
i in the energy, the foresight OF free
business management. The glory OF
the country has not been in the gov
eminent management of any bust
ness" y.
So spoke ex-President Taft in adj
dressing a group of railroad men the
other evening. His words serve as a
reminder of the change that has come
about in the last year or two in the
American attitude toward big bust
| ness.
There was period extending over
| nearly a decade. when business men
were on the defensiv. The bigger
they were, the greater appeared TO be
the presumption of their iniquity, in
the opinion not only of "professional
muck.rakers,' but of a large part or
the public. Leaders of great enter
phises were feared as strong, ruth
less enemies Of the community. Bank
ers and railroad magnates and man
ufacturers and merchants who had
formerly felt themselves honored for
their achievements became conscious
of an atmosphere of public distrust
and condemnation.
Now that wave of criticism seems
TO have passed. Nearly everybody is
patting the big business man on the
back again. and telling him what a
fine fellow he is. The captain of in
dustry" is in the ascendancy again.
The reformers themselves are on the
defensive. ''Reformer.' strangely
enough. is often used now as a term
of reproach.
In general, the tendency is doubt
less wholesome. Business men in
general never deserved all the oppro-
brium heaped upon them because of
the misdeeds of some unprincipled
representatives. And there was even
palliation for rebating, cutthroat COM
petition. political corruption, etc. in
the lax state of public sentiment at
the time when such pernicious prac-
tees became prevalent. Big business
has had it's lesson, has paid the pen
atty, and with few exceptions has
changed its methods and it's outlook
to harmonic with the new moral
standards.

ments had been occupied by disorderly
persons, obtained certificate of rea-
sonable doubt yesterday from Justice
Gicgerich in the Supreme Court, which

had some doubt as TO the possible out
