MARSE HENRY

Colonel Henry Watterson has begun the pub
licaton of series of memoirs and it is not easy
to think of anyone whose recollections will be read
with greater interest Colonel Watterson has, per-
haps, ceased to be very active participant in the
affairs of the world because of his years, but the
fact remains that he is one Of our most cherished
institutions. The American people accept him, and
love him. and hope that he may be spared to enjoy
for years the repose to which he is entitled after
long life of activity and to delight them with occa
sonal contributions from the pen which has been
welded with such deftness and such vigor.
There are not left to us many men who had not
only attained to full manhood before the Civil war;
but who had been in close personal contact with
people and events that have become historic. In
this respect Henry Watterson is especially fortu-
nate and for this reason aside from the genial per-
sonalty of the great editor the recolections which
are now being published will be read with unusual
interest.
Colonel Watterson came of good stock. His
father was man of wealth, active in public at
fairs member of congress, and the close friend
of many who were, or who became eminent. His
son was therefore reared among conditions which
brought him into contact with some of the most
prominent men Of his day, and which familiarized
him with events which have become historic. As
a boy he met on familiar terms such men as Jack
son. Franklin Pierce, Taylor, Fillmore and Cass.
While serving as volunteer page in the house Of
representatives in Washington he became sort
of protege Of an aged member who, he was told,
had been president Of the United States. This
man,of course, was John Quincy Adams, one of the
finest figures in our history, and the little friend
Of the great man was present when the great
statesman collapsed the floor Of the house, and
was carried out in dying condition.
It seems strange that there should be now liv-
ing and taking an active part in the affairs of the
world man whose personal recollections carry
him back among people and scenes Of which most
of us know only from the reading of books of his
tory. There are many delightful moments in store
for the readers Of Marse Henry's "reminiscences

The reason why the Britishers
should try to fly from America to
Europe is because the. prevailing
winds blow from west to east.
If it were not for that it would be
better to go the other way. The move

But the movement of the air with

WITH THE EDITORS
'OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER"

Without the slightest reference to it's possible
effect upon this paper for good or ILL., The Chronicle
is unalterably opposed to the "official county
newspaper" bill enacted in the closing hours of the
assembly. We are opposed to it, not because it was
Nonpartisan league measure, but because we be-
lieve it to be unjust and uncalled for
The statement made by member of the house
in defense of the bill that the people of this state
want it. was false and sheer nonsense besides. It
is false because the proposition of having one Off
cial newspaper in each county has never been be-
fore the people Of this state; has never been an
issue, and no faintest whisper that such measure
was to be proposed was heard during the last cam
paign or any other. BY what authority, then,
could any man claim that the people want such
law? 1t was sheer nonsense because the people Of
North Dakota are not so lacking in local pride and
seinterest that they want to kill off their local
newspapers.
The statement was also made that this measure

Of dollars" That is bare-faced and grotesque
falsehood. As this paper pointed out two or three
weeks ago. the rate or fee to be charged for pub
fishing legal notices is fixed by law It costs no
more to publish legal notice in one paper than
smother. So far Is the ordinary run of legal no

WHAT AMERICA OWES TO HER CITIZENS

Before the conference of governors and mayors
in Washington recently, Mr.. Wilson, secretary of
labor said that mo country owes man living,
but every country owes him an opportunity to
earn a living
That is good as far as it goes but it does not
60 far enough. Let's try it in this form: Every
country owes it's own citizens an opportunity to
earn living, but America does not owe the citi-
zens of any other country an opportunity to earn
living in America unless they obey and support
the laws and observe the traditions and spirit of
America nor should alien agitators advocating the
violation of our laws and the destruction of our
government be tolerated in America We offer
this as an amendment to Mr.. Wilson's motion and
move it's adoption. The ayes have it. The motion
is adopted Minneapolis Tribune.

This deluded candidate for padded abode says
that slanguists are ahead Of their time. 1t is
indeed something to invoke our thankfulness that
this is not their day.
The Unbalanced Party also declares that there
is beauty in slang and that Walt Whitman was
first to recognize it. B.

beauty? 1t offends, disgusts, rouses instant re-

slang has beauty, would say were he late for an
appointment and the young lady or his wife spoke
somewhat like this: 'Lissen, Gull, y can't gimme

how. out Of these disjointed British

now, when the liberties of mankind

the old Mayfiower pioneers had in
their turn crossed the ocean-this

traditions of their race.

Franklin district, which includes
a number of Methodists churches in
this county, has probably gone over
the top in the drive for Centenary
funds. Although complete reports
had not been received this morning,
enough was known to justify the
statement that the oversE5scriptions
would take care of the churches that
had fallen down if there should be
any of the latter.
Spring Hill church, the largest in
the district in Maury county, went
over the top by noon Sunday The
quota of this church was $500 and
under the direction of Chairman w.
p. Russell it was quickly subscribed.
1t is safe to say that the oversub-
scription from the charge will reach
not less than $500 and it may go to
$1,000.
The Franklin church, the largest in
the district, reported over the top on

Chairman Hopkins of the district

from three of the charges, that is Del

the district were sufficient to put the
district over even allowing these
charges to fall down altogether. How
ever. 1t was assured that they would
all do their part.
