THE COMMENTED WISE.

f AE1t LEN WlSII.
Not by the wise are the great things
done,
For the wise are pleased with the
things That are;
They've charted the course of the
morning sui
And know the name of each separ-
ate star.
And it's yer the way Of the wise to
cling
Tremendously to an olden thing.
Who ventures away from the Travelled
To follow his dream into realms
Shall walk alone with his heavy load,
For'the wise sit down with the
things that are;
Into the new must, a young man go,
But the wise stay back on the roads
they know.
Yet ever Tho wise give way to youth,
And ever the old must fear the new,
For never men como to the final truth
Or the end of things which their
skill shall do.
And he who follows his dream, and
tries
To better the world. shall teach the
wise. a.
Heed not the wise when they tell you
nay!
Youth be brave as you build the
new!N
What though you're scoffed at, day

You shall win if the dream be
true;
Linger not where the wise men
stand
Progress waits on your willing hand.

BRITISH RULE HAS

Jerusalem, Aug. 2s.-(By Mail

Jerusalem. Aug. 23.-(By Mail.)-
British administration has been ex-
tended to a considerable part of trans
Jordan territory, of which Els Salt, a
town Of about $4,000 inhabitants,
situated some 20 miles east of the
Dead Sea. is the chief center.
Sir Herbert Samuel, British COM
missioner for Palestine, has just re-
turned from journey to the new
territory, where 600 Representative
Beduin sheiks and notabless received

country within the present system of
administration Of Palestine, but would
establish&a separate administration
that would assist the people to govern
themselves" .,-1..s
Sir Herbert motored through Jeri-
choto Allenby bridge on the Jordan,
where he was met by Maid Pasha,
and by the son of Sheik Sultan, the
most influential chieftain of the ter
ritory. The Turkish military road
through the Shafb valley proved al
most impossible even for cavalry and
riding along the ,precipices was ex-
tremely dangerous at times owing to
landslides but the party, headed by
200 Beduin horsemen, reached Els
Salt without mishap.
The Arabs extended a cordial vel

planned to the chiefs that since the
French had fully established their
influence in Damascus. it would be

WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPT.
WHEN DID 1T HAPPEN:

The Grand Forks American says
h +. Milhollan, the Farmer-Labor
member of the state railway commits
son, was the only member 70 vote
against the order granting the rail-
roads increased rates.
Since when have the other commits
sioners, Messrs. Dupuis and Aandahl'
ceased to be "Farmer-Labor' comms-
%sionersc When were they denoted!
Two years ago they were all elected on
the same ticket, and the Nonpartisan
League management, OF whom William
Lemke is which, endorsed them n
urged all loyal members of the league
to vote for them. This year Mr.. Aan-
dahl was not a candidate for re-nom-
ination, for reasons known to himself,
but both Dupuis and Milhollan were
candidates. both were again endorsed
by the League managers. the namessor
both appeared on the League ticket
andt both almost shared the same fate
at the hands Of the voters, althouGh
Milhollan managed to pull out a few
votes ahead. ~
!Of course, Aandahl not being a can-
didate, and Dupuis having beer defeat-
ed at the primary, it is simple enough
to- cast both of them. off, like atpair OF
old,shoes. Milhollan, it appears, is be-
ing used to boost Lemke's political
stock-which needs boosting-and the
other commissioners arc being made
scapegoats. II the bosses have no
further use for these two we may now
expect to sec them given suitable plac-
cs. in the list Of undesirables, together
with Hastings, Box. Waters, Brinton,
and a lot Of others.
