SCHOOL MONEY
OVER $500, 900 IN INCOME FUND
NOW In STATE TREASURY.

Pierre, July 16.-The financial
statement of the state at the close OF
the fiscal year shows over 100000
in the income fund for common
schools. The custom of two appor-
tionments of this fund in each year
has been discontinued, and the
apportionment will be made Deem
Der l annually. On that date APP
proximately $1,000, 600 will be dis
tributed to the different school dis
tricts of the state as an educational
fund. One of the principal reasons
for changing the apportionment from
semi-annual to annual dates is that
under an act of the last Legislature
this fund draws interest in daily bal
ances of funds carried in the deposit
banks by the state treasury, and
continues TO grow until the appor-
tionment is made.

king OF TRAILS
MANY STATES REPRESENTED AT
KANSAS CITY CONVENTION.

Sioux Falls. July 16.-One of the
largest and most enthusiastic con
v~entions of the King of Trails ever
held in the country closed at Kansas
City. Delegates from all the states
through which the trail has been es-
tablished and logged were present
except from North Dakota.
This state was represented by so
delegates. every county along the
trail sending delegates. Minnesota
sent so delegates and all the other
states south to Texas were fully rep
resented.
Questions of improvement along
the trail were discussed. and the con
stitution was amended to meet the
exigencies of conditions caused by
new road laws in the several states.
The expected fight for a change OF
route from this state to Iowa and
Minnesota did not develop. The del
egates from South Dakota were pre-
pared to defeat the move should II
develop. and are pleased that they
did not have to enter into a contest
to defend a route established and
logged two years ago. The route
which il was feared might be con
tested runs from Sioux City up the
Sioux valley TO Watertown and on to
.Ortonville. and Is a part of the King
of Trails between Galveston. Tex,
and Winnipeg. Can. The matter is
now unquestionably settled as Min
nesota will get the trail from orion
VILE north. owing to North Dakota
FORGETTING her rights by not being rep
resented at the convention. This will
no doubt satisfy Min~nesota's ambi-
tion TO be on the trail.
The returning delegates are very
enthusiastic over the work of the
convention. and will enter upon a
campaign in their respective counties
to secure extensive Improvements
along the route. An effort will be
made to have part of the federal and
state aid funds expended along this
trail.
The representatives from this
county were III. v. Harland and Ho-
mer Krause. OF Dell Rapids. and Joe
Brown. n. O. Monserud and Art God
frey, of this city. Most of these del
egates arrived in the city today.

"A MANS A MANI.

The presence of colored officers in
the United States army already has
caused hard feelings at some of the
camps, and white soldiers of lesser
rank have refused to salute the COM
missioned negroes.
1t is an unfortunate and a most UNI
pleasant dilemma. 1t is deep-root-
ed prejudice which cannot be met
with arguments, or suppressed with
rigid discipline. 1t calls for the
exercise Of common sense on the part
Of the army heads. the colored off,
GERS, and the men.
The army heads should reduce to a
minimum the necessity Of white men
meeting negro officers. The negro
officers should not insist upon rigid
observance of the custom, and to their
credit be 1t said. that they have
shown no disposition to force the is
sue. White soldiers should remem-
Der that the salute is merely a formal
greeting, and any Difference that it
carries with it is to the army as an
organization.
White officers have not refused to
salute colored officers. The mere fact
that a man has overcome the
prejudice against his color and risen
to a commission, proves his mettle,
and proves his right to the courtesy
freely accorded other officers. No
man need be ashamed to salute any
negro officer who has thus worked his
way to commission against such
heavy odds. White men are not COM
manded by negro officers, and the
salute is no more than the good
day" that one civilian gives another
of his acquaintance, whether he be
white or black.
Colored men have proven their
courage and their loyalty on many
occasions. They are proving it in
this war. The American army in
this war is above all others dem
ocratic army. Its entire war aim is
the advancement of democracy. There
has been no complaint heard of dis
elimination or favoritism because of
a mans wealth or social position, or
religion. There should be none be-
cause of the color of his skin.

NEW YORK, NOT mitchell, ON
TRIAL.

Next Tuesday the city Of New York
will elect a mayor.
1t would seem a matter Of little
importance to North Dakota, whether
Mayor Mitchell is reelected or not.
From a standpoint of dollars and
cents, it is. Inefficiency in New
York municipal government will not
cost North Dakotans a dollar in ex-
ira taxes.
But Mayor Mitchell stands for
everything that is decent; everything
that is clean; everything that is
patriotic: everything that is efficient
in politics.
New York is on trial, not Mayor
Mitchell. 1t is. in a sense, a test Of
democracy itself. Can man Of the
calibre OF Mayor Mitchell remain in
politics, or can he be beaten by Tam
many hirelings. and the disloyal ap-
peal to the worst emotions Of men?
Can he be beaten by ward heelers
who stir school children to revolt by
such absurd lies as have been spread
about the Gary schools? Can he be
beaten by a man who refused to buy
Liberty bonds?
The country needs a sweeping,
overwhelming victory for Mayor
Mitchell victory that would be a
rebuke as we'll as a defeat to his
traducers. Unfortunately it is very
doubtful IL such a victory can be
won.

BISMARCK TO THE SEA.

The good ship Gros Ventre. out of
Bismarck, N. D., twenty days, hove
UP alongside the municipal wharf at
Kansas City this week. and threw
out line.
The eros Ventre reported no sub
marines sighted on the voyage down
the raging Missouri and later the
Mississippi.
It was but the second trip in thirty
years over these uncharted seas.
Nothing more dangerous than snags
and sandbars was encountered.
After the war. perhaps, when there
il money to spend, the trip may be
made easier for the eros Ventre. Am
erica has not yet begun to develop her
inland water transportation system.
From Bismarck to the gulf is a per-
fsctly feasible route. Just now it is
partly overland, for boats have to
crawl over sandbars. But the eros
Ventre has again demonstrated it is
possible to make the trip. North Da-
lzota farmers may yet ship their
wheat by an all water route to Eu-
rope, with one transfer at New Or
leans, unless the Great Lakes are
made an extension of the ocean high
ways, and Duluth an ocean port by
the charging Of the Welland canal
locks.

THE PERSONAL BUDGET.


Never was the personal budget
more needed than it is today.
Happy is the man who has set
aside, in his mind at least, the sum
he can devote to war purposes and
charities, and who divides it in the
way he thinks best.
He is armed against all campaigns
for funds.
The demands that have been made
on the people of Fargo seem heavy.
because Of the hectic campaigns that
have been necessary to raise the
funds. The city is more wearied of
the campaigns than of the actual
giving.
Liberty Bonds cannot be classed as
demand on the purse. They are a
saving, and must be eliminated from
the budgets for war funds and Tor
charities. There is the monthly
donation to the Red Cross, one per
cent Of the income. The Y. NJ. c. A,
has a campaign coming on which
may call for 81 apiece from the citi-
zens Of Fargo. The Christmas fund
for the soldiers does not call for more
than perhaps twenty five cents from

amount. The company fund and the
camp funds called for about the

Best Laxative For Men,
Women and Children

Enjoy life! Remove the liver and
bowel poison which is keeping your
head dizzy, your tongue coated,
breath offensive and stomach sour.
Don't stay bilious, sick, headachy,
constipated and full of cold. Why
don't you get a box of CascaTets
from the drug store and eat one or
two tonight and enjoy the incest,
gentlest liver and bowel cleansing
you ever experienced? You will wake
up feeling fit and fine. Cascarets
never grippe or sicken like salts, pills
and calomel They act so gently that
you hardly realize you have taken
cathartic. Mothers should give cross,
sick, bilious or feverish children a
whole Cascaret any time-they act
thoroughly and are harmless.-Advt.
