TIM Z toREAT ADMIRAL

The great American Admiral,
third Of his rank in American
history has reached the end of his
earthly voyage. He has hauled
down his flag and reported to his
Superior officer.
George Dewey is a commanding
figure in the history, because he
was completely ready to grasp
the opportunity, when it came.
The Battle of Manila is a memoir
able illustration of the conjunc-
tion of the man and the opport-
unity. There were other officers
IN the American Navy, no doubt,
who could have done what Com
modore Dewey did, if the opport-
unity had come to them as it came
to him. But it was his, and he
made the most of it. BY training
by temperament, by industrious
application to the mastery of his
calling, he-was absolutely ready.
Out of clear sky came to him
in command of his little Ameri-
can fleet in Chinese waters, the
order to search out and destroy
the enemy. How we'll and how
promptly he earned out those
orders. all the world knows. He
found Montojo and his Spanish
ships in Manila Bay. Without
trepidation and with out hesita-
tion he attacked, wheeling his
ships in a circle that they might
fire to the best advantage. His
orders to Gridley, who operated
his flagship, was striking in it's
calm simplicity: 'You may fire
when ready, Gridley."
When the action was over, the
Spanish ships were sunk or dis
abled while Dewey had lost neith-
er ship nor man. It was a famous
victory, that battle of May 4, 1898
one of the great naval victories
OF history, and it presaged the
quick triumph of the United
States over Spain. 1t was signi-
flcant not merely because of the
glory it shed on the American
Navy, but because it changed the
whole course of history for the
United States. 1t made the Re-
public world power, and laid on
'its shoulders that portion of 1.-The
white mans burden" included in
the philippines. We are still car
sagzia6alt he burden ! 40
doubt, for some years yet.
And now Admiral Dewey full
of years and honors, is dead. But
his spirit will long live to inspire
the children of the Great Repub-
lie. His counsel has lone been
heard in our naval affairs, but on
ly of late have we given heed to
his urgings for a great and always
ready Maya first lien of de-
fense against any possible attack.
More and more we must appreri-
ate the wisdom of the great sail
or and profit by it.

the RumAmlAM TRAGEDY

listened to a talk last night
by David Starr Jordan. formerly
president of the Leland Stanford
University. 1t was a description
of a trip he made thru Macedonia
in an automobile provided by the
queen of Rumania. Doctor Jord-
an described conditions which

three times as large as the army
with which he conquered Italy,
Austria and Prussia and dictated
terms of peace to Russia.
The fact is however. that Ru-

SPECIAL TRAIN TO
INAUGURAL PARADE

Arrangements were completed
yesterday for a special train 20
take the members Of the North
Dakota Wilson Independent leag-
ue to Washington where they will
march in the inaugural parade,
a special section having been re-
served in the great pageant for
the league of this state.
o. A. Blackstone of the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad was in the
city yesterday comforting with the
leagues secretary, Melvin Hid
reath, concerning the special
which will consist of four Pull
mans, a diner and observation
car.
Since the announcement was
made a few weeks ago that North
Dakota people would participate
in the parade scores have written
the headquarters vr the league
announcing their intention of
making the trip. AS this is the
first time democratic president
has been reelected since the
days of Andrew Jackson, unusual
efforts are being made by those
in Washington to make of the
parade this year great pageant.
AS North Dakota was one of the
surprise states in the Union, play
ing an important part in the elec
tion, the state has been honored
by having set apart for it a place
in the parade. But few states
are so honored. Virginia, where
the president was born, of course
being one and New Jersey, his
residence, being another. To
have North Dakota thus promin-
emily participate in the festivities
together with the fact that the re-
presentatives will travel on a spec
ial train to the national capitol.
will be signal honor for North
Dakota.-Fargo Courier-News.

TINE SPIRIT or ENrERpRisE

. Il is an interesting problem In
business psychology to determine
why people trade at one store
rather than another. Prices, To-
cation, quality, are all vital, but
not the whole thing.
che wide-a wake manager Of a
real store come down town full ;,r
tne spirit Of enterprise. He does
not ask to be sure of two dollars
baH;s before he-Will spend ,::.e.
..Start something" he calls out to
the boys, and soon the place radi-
ates his pushing personality.
; His first move is to spread the
news. He finds this or that line
III his store where he got unusual
values, or something he wants to
turn in cash. He realizes that the
public will. never know what he
can do for them unless he takes
some pains and goes to some ex-
pense to inform them. By per-
sistent advertising he gives the
public the news Of his store. Pret
ty soon the impression is spread
abroad that it is a store where
there is something doing"
The American people have lit
tie use for inactivity. They care
little for the business man who
sits down and waits for opportun
ity TO knock and business TO
come. They will go out of their
way to trade with q man who
seeks their trade and shows some
spirit Of push.
The one way to convey this inn
preston is of course to advertise.
Circulars don't give it to any
large extent as they are SO apt
to be thrown away unread. While
the circular reposes all crumpl-
ed up in the waste basket, the
newspaper remains on the parlor
table until the whole family has
been through it.
Solicitation from door to door,
il done by q tactful and com2e-
tent man, gives an impression ol
enterprise. But advertising is
twenty times cheaper and quite as
efficient; II spreads the news
all over, and makes a man seem
like q pusher instead Of a waiter.
