carried on knowingly to our boys and

the law is SO lenient in such cases,
and due to the leniency of the law, the
sentiment Of the people must be train

stringent laws can be enacted as will
put the fear of God in the hearts of
those who will stoop to violate, not
only the laws Of our land, but the

PURE BRED JERSEY COW
OWNED BY ]. s. ANDREWS

One Of the finest specimens Of Jer.
sey COWS we have ever seen was on
the streets Monday, and is the property
Of ]. s. Andrews, vice-president Of the
Commercial Bank. Her color and the
shape Of her head and body are per-
feet. Her udder was unusually large
and well balanced. It is q pleasure to
see an animal of this kind, and we
wonder why more people don't raise
pure bred cattle. Mr.. Andrews is a
fancier Of pure bred cows and hogs
and belives that it pays to raise blood
ed stock instead Of scrubs.

STUDY OF CONSTITUTION
IS SOUGHT BY LEAGUE

Washington, March 2 Capital News
Service).- Government officials are
much interested in the campaign start
ed by the National Security League Of
New York looking to the passage Of
laws by A states requiring that a
study Of the Constitution of the Unit
ed States be required Of students in
all schools.
Four states Illinois, Iowa, Michi-
gan and Vermont now have such q
law. Two hundred Of the country's
leading educators, 1t is said, are back
OF the movement, which it Is exoectel
will require several years to push to
conclusion.
officials Of the Bureau Of Education
express the hope that such state laws
when passed, will not require any spec
ial form Of study Of the Constitution,
and point out that the practice Of
some schools which now teach it, re-
quire scholars to learn 1t by heart. It
is pointed out that this method is apt
to do more harm than good. They
say that it is the meaning, not the
wording that is important, and that
it is the duty Of the Supreme Court,
not the individual, to interpret the
phraseology. II the average student
is required to study the standpoint
Of understanding its principles he will
they point out be much moro likely
to use his knowledge than If required
merely to learn It word for word.

San Diego, Calf. Jan. 12.-In this
ietter 1 shall broaden the scope Of my
subject a little. touching upon a few
Incidents other than those directly
soncerning The Herald: for the read

Of the city and country. The period
covered was constructive in a high

with its subsequent development. and
with its mature stature as We see 1t

During the year 1881 Grand Forks
gained nan OF its best business and
professional men-men who since
have been prime factors in its splen-
ed much to its material and moral
prestige. Among these were r. B.
Griffith. who opened a small grocery
store on DeMers avenue. near Fifth
street. Only a few hundred dollars
were invested in stock. but R.. B. kept
his small capital moving 50 rapidly
that larger quarters became a neces-
sity year BY year. until he got perma-

The banking facilities of Grand

a rushing business. The First Ma

Territory. The Merchants bank. by
E. P. Gates. was located in the Walsh
building. corner OF Third street and

together with Fred Fulton Il Co. n

business was the filing of applications
for h0mesteads and tree claims. the
rest being final proof payments.
