great deal of bowling about the con-
scription Of men but they haven't said
much about the bill for CONSUMPTION of
wealth. AS it is now we have the
CONSUMPTION that autocracy advocates
but not the CONSUMPTION that democra-
cy calls for. Also, we fail to see why
it was necessary to pass a selective
CONSUMPTION bill, which calls for Sc
lecting only some, when the Hays
Chamberlain law was in force, which
allowed the president to call out "all"
of the men. If the selective clause
was placed in the CONSUMPTION bill in
order to exempt certain classes of
workers needed more in their usual
line of labor than as soldiers, why
we're not the occupations specifically
stated so that persons not employed
in these lines could not take advan-
tage Of it?

We fail to see why CONSUMPTION was
necessary when there were so many
thousands, so the papers of the coun-
try claimed, who signed the "stand
back of the president" resolutions to
call to the colors. If they were able
to pen their willingness to back him
up then they surely ought to be able

Elsewhere in this issue will be found acceptances to the MANY several
challenges for debate issued by Senator Sandstrom during the last month.
There should be n o necessity of any further parleying. It is hoped that
these debates will now be definitely arranged for and debated before any
new series of challenges is issued. There is 10 need of any prolonged news
paper controversy. Mr.. sandstrom has framed his W question for debate,
selected his side of the question and also designated the places for holding
the debates. His proposition has been accepted Internationally Now if he
will name the time for the different meetings and someone acceptable as
presiding officer the decks will be all cleared for action.

The BOTTINEAU CoURANT BOTT1NEAU, NORTH DAKOTA

1t appears that E. B. McCutcheon, former game warden of the north
err district, has rather overstepped his jurisdiction. He proposes to raise
a regiment of one thousand men among the sportsmen of North Dakota
which is we'll and laudabe. But certainly he does not possess the despotic
authority to write the governor: II offer to you, sir, these men for the de-
Tense of our beloved country" 1t is on thing to make the offer, but some
what different to "deliver the goods" No doubt, most of the sportsmen of
the state will be glad to take up the defense of their country when need be,
but it is questionable if they take kindly to being turned " e as chattels
without being Eve consulted in the matter.
The Rugby Tribune appears to endorse the CONSUMPTION of wealth, re-
publishing in front page position an editorial from the Kansas City Star
which strongly supports such a plan. Editor Bratten should bear in mind

INSTITUTE MUSEUM FURTHER ENRICHED Book on Military Tactics and
 Relics of Merrimac Presented

Col. William W. Bullen has pre- sented to the Institute Museum a book on Plans of Company Evoiu- tions and Maneuvers," by John IT. Cookes. who. in his day, was ono of the best versed men in military tao tics hereabouts. The entire work is handwritten in homemade ink. and, though completed just 100 years ago, 1t h perfectly preserved. Great care word being crossed out or a mistake being made. It Is illustrated with many diagrams.
 The Introduction by the author is In part as follows:
 To the non-commissioned officers of the company of Grenadiers at- tached to the 14th Regiment:
 All true principles of military dis cip1ine are founded upon a complete subordination. and prompt obedience to every command of superiour; therefore. 1t. is your duty to become correctly acquainted with every rnaneuver and evolution
 The work continues with a detailed description of how a soldier should conduct himself in all maneuvers he might be called upon to execute.
 Part of the Merrimac.
 Another interesting addition to the Museum displays Is one, which will recall to old and young splendid ex- ample of American heroism. This latest gift consists of pieces of the main derrick of the sunken 'Merri- mac," which were cut and split by Capt. F. C..

he took them to the aunken wreck near the entrance to Santiago harbor a short distance from Morro Castle. At that time the mast top of the "Merrimac" was about 20 feet above water.
 Other objects which will refresh the memory of the older ones and cause young America to look back to the
 days of '9s, arc gun cartridges taken from the Spanish gun boat ''Baracoa" which was sunk by the Spaniards in Nipe Bay to prevent being captured by the United States The boat was afterwards raised by our government and used by Gov. Con. Wood as . dispatch boat.
 In tho same case where these ob- jects arc displayed can be seen other interesting souvenirs Of the Spanish war, as well as numerous objects which were brought back few months ago from the Mexican border by tho boys from Co.'S and E. Within the past week Curator E. Birmingham schurr has been mak- ing several changes at the Museum and there are now on exhibition two collections of birds eggs, the gifts of

,ufrraxists split. The government is

suffragists split. The government Is divided into two forces One is po- litical and the other Is non-poMtical. It Is for the non-political force to train the citixenry of the future and if they are trained right the politics of the future will be able to care for itself. Women are non-partisan and consequently stand an excellent chance of putting through beneficial measures where. were they lined up with . party as they would be if they had the vote. they would have to work alonK party Mnes." Politics as played by men is m ugly game. but played by women 1t would be an abominable game" Miss Bronson said.
 To show how the right to vote will nullify that which may be done in other ways the speaker, without men, tioning names, referred to Dr. Anna Shaw of Chicago She told of the great and wonderfully good influence that Dr Shaw yielded before she got the voter but the instant she stepped into the polling, place her influence was lost and she became just one of the mass. Her vote for . good move was instantly nullified by the Italian street woman who had the same right It was more than nullihed. It vas showed under because this Italian wonaxh had hefalded together 800 oth- err of her class. all Of whom voted for Bath House John.''
 Women, by working for that which is ri9ht and best for mankind, can accomplish moro by working alqpg non -partisan lines than otherwise and a recqrd of the suffrage states will prove this, Miss Bronson said. Tho place for the woman to exercise her right Is with her child at her knee. If she properly creates beneficial home life and properly trains her sons they will grow up into better men and better voters. One of the great est faults to be found with . woman going into politics is that she is very liable either to be crowded outside by the politician or remaining, she may be taught the tricks of the trade.
