GENERAL" WARD

The press dispatches bring news Of the death In a
New York state Jail of Samuel oakley GF~Ntold. who.

The man IL we'll member In the northwest, and
especially in Grand Forks, whore under the assumed
name Of General Arthur w. Ward. he posed as an ,ex-
eff'Hef of the unien army in the Civil war. and where,
ny ms plausible manner, and engaging presence he In
sfatiated himself inte the confidence Of uAany suhatan-
people whose association with him resulted In finan~
car accounts for considerable sums. which they have
long since charged to profit and lass.
The career Of this man furnishes an interesting
study in human nature, A professional crook. he appear

represent himself to be- and he was able for q time to
carry out his tmpostuFe With success ia the full glare Of
daylight and to make it pass without detection
Possibly the very boldness Of his methods tended
70 prevent Suspicion, Wherever he went, he demanded
and received attention and his behavior was the reverse
OF that which we ordinarily expect from a man who is
trSins 70 avoid exposure. 4 more modest and retiring
crook would have been unable to carry on the game
which this man PLAYED for SO long.
Then, too, there vas a vein OF sincerity in the man.
he WAS an arrant fraud in SO far as his relations with
others We're concerned, but he was a sincere egotist.s He
knew himself to b. = seeundrel. ~Ignosance of that was
impossible But no was a most sincere egotist. There
can be no doubt that he believed thoroughly in his own
ability, hts Own dignity and his own Importance, and his
sincerity in that belief enabled him to communicate it to-
others. @ E@ a
tt is easy to over estimate the ability Of such a man,
and to give him credit for qualities which he die, not pos
sess. It may be that had this man chosen an honorable
life instead OF a dishonorable se, he would have made
% remarkable success. But the qualities which were most
CONSPICUOUS in him do rRt alone insure success. A man
may be- a pleasant companion, a glib talkes, a good

Yet never rise above mediocrisy. Real success cannot be.
attained without the solid qualities Of honor and integ-

conphshed had he possessed them is equivalent to spec

England's volunteers filled her armies, and
constituted her lmpregnable strength.
But while the Parliament of Great Britain
is not limited in it's powers by written terms.
and can therefore legally resort to conscrip-
ton, the Government Of the United States is
the creature of separate, independent, sover-
eign States; and while this Government is
supreme within the limits of the powers dele
gated to it in writing, 1t has NO existence out
side those limits.
To ascertain what those limits are we
simply appeal to the written limitations

but venture to say it, nevertheless
When written contract prescrbes what a
corporation may do it can hardly be treason

If, after having read the Constitution. we

ing the War of 1812-or we can endeavor to

In other words when we challenge the right
Of Congress to pass a certain law, it is our
privilege to appeal to the Judicial branch Of
the Government.
We can lawfully ask the judges to construe
the contract, and to decide whether or not
Congress has exceeded it's powers.
Tn quite a few instances, Congress has in
advertentedly made an ass Of itself by un-
dertalzing to do what it had no authority to
do
The Judiciary has been painfully con-
strained to remind Congress of these instances
of mental alteration, and to run the judicial
blue pencil through these asinine claws"

these cases, Congress has stoutly maintained

All that can be expected to be certain Of

volunteers The French were driven out Of
Portugal and Spain by volunteers. The vic
tors at Waterloo were volunteers.
The immortal Six Hundred at the Battle
OF Balaclava, were volunteers.
The conquerOrs of India, of the SOudan,
of Egypt and Of South Africa, were yolun-
teers.
The four million Englishmen, Canadians,
and Australians who have saved France and
England from the conscripted hordes Of ruth
less Huns, are gallant, patriotic v0zunteerS.
England has not sent one single conscript
to the battle-line
England now has conscript law, forced
upon her by the treason of Catholic priests
In Ireland and Canada
Those traitorous allies of the Pope and
Kaiser preached treason so effectively to the
Catholic French Canadians, and to the Cath
Ollie Irish, that these poor priest-ridden dupes
refused to enlist and fight for the salvation
of their country.
From the very beginning Of the Great War,
this persistent treason of the Catholic priest
hood has been the source of England's weak
ness.
1t was aggravated by the conduct of tue
Catholic Treason Societies in America. which
sent money!, arms, and recruits to aid the
Germans in their attempted Irish rebellion.
Some of the American, Catholics were
caught red-handed, and were justly con-
demned to be shot; but Cardinal Gibbons,
Tumulty, Tammany & Co., prevailed upon
our Government to intervene and save the
condemned traitors, just as the same in
fuences prevailed upon the Government to
save the traitor priests condemned by Car
rama.
The detection of the Catholics of Ireland
and Canada forced Parliament to exercise its
unlimited power and to do thing which no
English government has ever done since the
Feudal Ages.
Queen Elizabeth never conscripted sol
der or sailor, although SPANS army
threatened from Holland and SPANS Invinci-
bic Armada was sailing up the Channel.
The volunteers rallied to the coQntry's de-
Tense, and saved it.
During the long wars that England waged
against the French King, Louis XIV, no law
of CONSUMPTION existed.
The greatest statesmen our race ever pro-
duced-men like Walpole, Chatham, Pitt,
Fox, Canning, Peel, Gladstone, and DIsraeii

Let Us Reason Together
Judge the New Laws by the Supreme Law.

as everybody knows, the American colonists
waged a war of seven years to establish
the principle, that the Englishmen who colo
nized the New World brought with them, and
were entitled to enjoy, the rights Of English
men, as defined by the laws of the Mother
Country.
4 rs 1t not so?
Look again at the celebrated set of resolu-
tons which Patrick Henry wrote on blank
leaf of his Blackstone, presented to the Vir-
ginia House of Burgesses, and advocated in
his immortal speech.
The spirit of the colonial revolt was, that
the colonists were English, and could not be
arbitrarily deprived of the fundamental
rights Of Englishmen.
Agai1o I ask, is TT NOT so?
Of course your mind will at once single out
the principle of "No taxation without repre-
sentation;" but this principle was only one of
many.
Among the rights Of Englishmen, claimed
by the colonists, were those of trial by jury,
freedom of speech and press, the sacredness
of the home from searches without a warrant;
the full enjoyment of personal liberty, of life,
arms; the right to peacefully assemble; and
the right to petition the government against
existing or threatened wrongs.
One of the most important, most ancient,
and best established principles of personal
liberty in England was, that no Enghshman
could be sent out of the realm o0ithot has o1On
consent.
Sir William Blackstone, discussing this
great fundamental principle in his Connoen-
t04aeS-the textbook of legal students
throughout the English-speaBing world
uses very strong language.
In paragraph 1877, of Book L. the learned
jurist says, that "No pOacer on earth. ....

land against has qcHz; NO, NOT EVEN A CR1M1-

The King himself, even in the most arbi-
trary Tudor days, could not lawfully compel
an Englishman to leave England. The royal
power could restrain man from going array,
but could not send him away.
In those days, soldiers and sailors were
voluntary hirezings. There was no conscrip
ton.
Even during the long, long years of the
Napoleonic Wars lasting for nearly a quarter
of a century, Great Britain never c0nScTpted

The Motion Picture Interpreter.

The katsuban is a native and unique
product Of Japanese life and is called
both a nuisance and necessity. The
name Is an abridgement of katsudo-
benshl and means moving picture
speaker. The katsuban follows every
action shown in motion picture plays
and interprets 1t to the audience He
must not only have n fluent tongue
but have the ability to initiate profess
sional actors of both old and new
schools as we'll us being able to speak
several degrees Of falsetto to portray
the various characters In the plays.
The profession is by no means an easy
one and the skilled members are al
most as popular as the actors them
selves.
The katsuban cannot he dispensed
with because Of the introduction OF for
eign films in Japan. 1t Is necessary to
explain the action; otherwise the pic
ture would be unintelligible to most of
the audience. Even in the case OF ma
tive pictures 1t is said that as yet many
Uf the actors are not sufficiently clever
to enable the management to dispense
with the services of the katsuban.-

Horseshoe and Luck.

The luck OF the horseshoe comes from
three lucky things always connected
with horseshOes. These consist Of the
following facts: 1t is tie shape Of a
crescent; 1t Is portion OF a horse; 1t
is made from iron. Each Of these has
from time immemorial been considered
lucky. Anything In the shape OF Il
crescent was always considered thing
to bring luck. From the earliest times,
too, at least since the world knew
something Of the qualities of iron, iron
has been regarded as thing TO give
protection and, incidentally, that would
involve good luck. And, lastly, the
horse since the days Of English mythol-
Ogy has been regarded as a lucky AMI
NAL. When, then, we had a combina-
ton Of the three-the crescent, the iron
and the horse-in one object, 1t became
true lucky sign in the eyes Of the

SELF FEEDER FOR HOGS.
Experiments Prove That This Method
ls the More Economical.


Experimental tests all seem to point
to the economy of the self feeder for
fattening hogs. A report has recently
been made by the Missouri expert
mcnt station covering tests that were
conducted in 1914, 1915 and 1916.
The conclusions drawn from the ex-
periments are:
Fattening hogs fed with self feed
err gain more rapidly than when hand
fed in the usual manner.
There is no difference in the econO-
my Of gain which can be accredited to
the method of feeding. This state
ment applies only to the amount OF
feed necessary to produce given
amount Of pork. If the self feeder de-
creases the amount of labor involved
then it becomes factor in cheapening
the cost Of production.
When each feed is placed in a sep
arate feeder the hogs will choose the
different feeds, so that the gain will
be both rapid and relatively econom-
zeal. This will perhaps he true only
when each feed is supplied in abun-
dance. For example, If the feeds used
were corn and tankage and the self
feeder containing corn was allowed to
become empty the hogs would no doubt
eat more tankage than it would be
profitable to feed them.
