The Red River valley, according to
Professor Parks, was near the coast Of
great inland sea 100000 years ago.
This sea stretched from the Gulf Of
Mexico to the Arctic Ocean. The sand
along the shallow, brackish shores of
the now extinct body of water has
formed a splendid preservation of
specimens Of prehistoric animals.

but have shrunk in value to consider
ably below par.
They receive low rate of interest,
and can not dispose of a single bond
without a financial sacrifice.
The public in general is not saying
much. but it doing lot of hard think
ing. It is sore and disguised and does
not disguise the fact. There are even
intimations that some day the govern
ment will want to sell more bonds, and
will have a difficult time in finding
purchasers The public will not care
to be singed twice in the same place.
There is, however, remedy-lf
congress will apply it.
Let these bonds be placed by law on
the same basis as our national curren-
cv-at par value-with the interest re-
tanned. Then let it be made criminal
offense for any person or corporation
to refuse to accept a bond at par val
lie, plus the interest that has accrued
to date. Or in lieu of this, let the in
terest on these bonds be raised by act
of congress to six per cent, thus plac-
ing the bonds on a par with real es-
tate mortgages and other investments.
If a citizen uses the mails to nlisre-
present bond or block of stock that
he is endeavoring to sell he violates
/ the law and the government sends him
to jail
The government should live up to
the same standard of honor it requir-
es from it's citizens by restoring these
bonds to par value by act of congress
It can do no less and retain the con-
! fdence and respect of it's people.
/ This is not political editorial. 1t
is not aimed at any person or any par
| ty. 1t is written in kindness and in g
spirit of justice, in an endeavor tc
safeguard the interests Of those pa
triotic citizens who responded to the
appeal of the government when the
government was in dire need Of as
sistance.

themselves were given no rest until
they had subscribed their quota
Americans of every class responded
nobly, hundreds of thousands denying
themselves in their patriotic endeav-

war. Our own community contribut-
ed literally, as did every other section
of the country.
The public was allowed to believe
that their bonds would be the safest
kind of an investment, always at par
and possibly soon at premium.
They bought and kept on buying
because they loved their country and
had faith in Uncle Sam.
But now they are disillusioned-
Interestingly so.
They find that their bonds are not
above par, that they are not at par,

That is approximately the express

government bonds purchased during

were asked to buy government bonds.
They were even urged to buy clear up

z VENTS make sport of the schemes
IL of mice and men. Mckinley en-
tered the race for the presidency on
the tariff issue, was elected on the
money issue and the greatest
problems that confronted him in the
White House were the fate of a chain
of islands off the coast of Asia and
the destiny Of China
Spain had been engaged for two
years in a desolating struggle to hold
in subsection the revolving island of
Cuba, and two happenings pushed
Mckinley into the conflict in spite of
himself. In q private letter, the Span
ish minister at Washington scoffed at
the president as a "politicastro"-
in plain American, "a peanut poll
tician'-and plainly intimated that
the fair promises which the SpaniardS
were giving him were only trick to
fool the administration and the Amer
lean people. Within week of that
exposure, the battleship Maine was
blown up in Havana harbor, with the
loss of 266 American lives.
After withstanding for nearly two
months the popular cutlery of RE
member the Maine," the president
yielded, and war was declared. In
ten days Dewey had smashed the
enemy squadron in Manila bay; in ten
weeks another squadron was sunk
or captured off Santiago; in three
months and a half poor old Spain
threw up the sponge.
It took twice as long to make peace
as to make war. The Philippines
caused all the trouble. AS we had not
captured the islands in the war, many
believed that we should let them
alone. But Mckinley decided to de-
mand from Spain the surrender of
the Philippines.
Without waiting for ratification, the
president dispatched military expe-
dition to take over the Philippines,
proclaiming to the revolving Filipines
the policy of benevolent assimila-
ton" The resulting war dragged its
unpleasant length for two years be-
fore the inhabitants unwillingly bowed
to their new master.
1t was the strange fortune Of a
president whose entire public life had
been given exclusively to domestic
questions to plant the flag in the dis
tant Philippines and to send it TO the
pink walls of the Forbidden City OF
China. In the march on Picking for tho
rescue of the forgein legations from
the siege of the Boxers, or Chinese
revolutionists, the United States joined
other powers for the first time in a
military expedition.
Under the high craftsmanship OF
John Hay, the secretary of state, the
United. States had already, before the
