America as Literary Material.

(Stephen Graham in Literary Review)
 The title sounds rather like post-mortem exam inaton. America is material. Living America the inspiration of living literature ought to be- out that is too long Why do write so much about america? Because America is interesting to us who write, and she is intensely interesting humanity at large America is human experiment. an experiment with humanity in world and all the Old World stares to try and what is happening nd what is going to happen. And if the Old World IS interested father is interested in his son. New World is enamoured of itself like young man n the generous warmth of nascent self-expression.
 To lbsen, America the button moulder's pot where the Scandinavian peasant was melted up with Tom, Dick, and Harry into else, a second .ry-out for human material. To Zangwill borrowing he idea from 1bsen, America The Melting Pot where Jews were melted down To Mary Antin America was the Promised Land the Jews though do her justice her famous was written before into a European To Maxim Gorky America was the country of gleaming teeth and mirthless fmiles. To the present writer America was the Nivng West compared with Russia the living East the country of humantarianism all that I have called the Way of Martha To Mir H. C. Wells America represents the future of civilization; to Mr Arnold Bennett, the future of upholstery
 America strikes the imagination of all foreieners and every reacts differently from Dickens who came to compare and complain to Cecil Chesterton who was carried off his feet by generous enthusiasm TOT her democracy You always thrilled or stirred when you enter the country.

GOLD WILL CONTINUE TO COME.

Bankers who deplore the large stocks of gold now held in the United States believe gold holdings will continue to increase for sometime to come, al- though imports will not be by any large as during the past year It may take decade or more before a decided return flow of gold take place in the direction of Europe.
 In fact it would not surprise bankers if than one-half of the worlds known stores of gold finally come the United States The total gold stock of this country January l. last, $35656 988,551 and since that time has increased to some extent. According to estimates of the office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the total monetary gold stock of the world, including bullion held by Gov ernments and banks. amounts to approximately $S20O 900 000 British estimates of these stocks are said to be somewhat higher. recent London com pation estimated the worlds production of gold since the discovery of America and the total prob able gold stock, after making allowance of one third for losses and consumption in the arts, as ap proximatey 2,52o, 900 pounds sterling, or $12, 406 000 The British estimates evidently included as part of the monetary gold stock hoarded sums likely come into circulation again.
 One international banker says that, with the ex- cepton of England, country in Europe afford return to the of gold for money for great many years This authority holds that European nations will. while accommodating gold re- serves gradually, put basis of silver behind their circulation possible after they have built up of surplus capital goods The nations will doubtless continue try build their stocks of gold gradually, but cannot look forward to their former gold standard for many years H. also pre- diets in the meantime that the open market gold will fall gradually from its present high quotation around go shilljngs. to nearer the Bank of England price of 77 a4 shngs
 Until the return of the pound to parity it is than probable that most of the open market gold will come to the United States it is now doing. The only nations able to bid for high priced open market gold besides the United States are Switzerland Sweden, Holland, India, Argentina and Japan. None of these countries, it is pointed out, wants any more gold most of them would be swamped by increase amounting to anything like $lO0,000,00O Under such circumstances it is in eytable that the flow gold into the United States will keep up for number of years though the rate of such flow win be found to be gradually decreasing.

TOO MUCH POLITICS.

The people of Alaska have again had a demon stration of the absurd primary election law in this Territory which makes it necessary for people to begin preparations for election than eight before the and long before public opinion is directed the matters that up for solution. Alaskas primary election should be in August instead of April, and the filings for the pri- mary should be in July instead of February
 The Alaska law, which requires those who desire to become the nominees of political party for an office must file their declarations of candidates in February, and independent nominations must be made in April The law in effect makes independent action the part of the people out of the question, be- only those who active in politics, those who make it a large part of their activity ready to act many months before the election. The cam pagns, extending eight months, make Alaska hotbed for the turmoil of politics People who would give all their attention to business and development have listen to almost continuous wrangling be- tween political factions
 It is very unfortunate that the people cannot have the next four five months free from politics that the years work could be well under before the paign begins Alaska's problems economic than they political and the way solve economic problems is through work and devotion to business and industry and not through political contests Alaskans should have time for work They give the politicians far too much of their tme

STARK
C0U n TY CASE
Is DISMISSED
Indictment Against Simpson,
Hartung, Boxrud is Held
To Be Defective
INDIAN IS CONVICTED

The second Indictment against Les
|7ie Simpson. Dickinson attorney; Ted
Hartung, former sheriff of Stark coun
ty, and A. B. Boxrud, former Northern
Pacific conductor, Of Dickinson, charg.
ed with conspiracy to obstruct Justice
was held bad in federal court today by
Federal Judge Miller. He sustained
the demurrer Of the defendants.
The case was the outgrowth OF al.
legged efforts of the defendants to oh.
struct justice by inducing two men in.
dicted by the government to enter mil.
itary service.
!. Judge Miller ruled on three points
He held the indictment sound as to
defendants allegation that it failed to
allege the crime was committed In
three years before filing of the indict-
ment.
He held it defective in that it failed
to set forth means by which the de.
PENDANTS were alleged to have con.
!spired and t:lat the overt acts alleged
could not substantiate the crime Of
conspiracy. The court said he did not
feel that any allegations in the indict-
ment claimed that if the defendants
carried out the acts they were accused
Of that it would impede justice, that
there was no showing that if the men
were in the military service at Camp
Custer taey could not be brought back
when needed.
An indictment charging the defend
ants with obstructing Justice was dis
missed a few days ago. 4.
Sent to Prison.
: Joseph Horncloud, an Indian, who
has been held in the Burleigh county
jail for months, was sentenced to
LeavenWorth prison for aSyear and a
day He was found guilty of shooting
at another Indian. Judge Miller said
that the sentence was given more for
tle purpose of placing Horncloud
where he would have proper care than
for punishment, Horncloud's counsel
having said that although he was 33
years old he had the mentality of a
boy.
A demurrer was filed to the .indict-
ment against Alan H. White, Morton
county postmaster, charged witi en-
bezzling $3y161. Judge Miller sustain
ed the demurrer. The assistant dis
trict attorney said that the omission
was an error in typewriting. White
was ordered held and the grand jury
was to 'be asked to indict him again.
: The trial of Paul Chapman, an In
dian, charged with dispensing liquor to
another Indian, was being tried this
morning.
The grand jury has about finished its
work and may report within day or
SO.

ENGINEERS
INTERESTED
IN ROAD BILL

Interest among engineers Of the city
concerning the proposed good roads
Legislation runs high following the
discussion of this subject at the meet
irg of the North Dakota Chapter of
the American Association of Engi-
neers held here last week.
Consideration is being given Ito
the analysis Of the objections that
are offered against both the amend
ment and highway measures to be in
itiated for the fall election. The
object of further deliberation among
engineers is to formulate the proper
answers or replies to all objections
raised or that may be raised against
the good roads programs, so that in
their contact with public officials and
people generally they may render
valuable assistance in the campaign
of the State Good Roads Association
to pass the new highway legislation.
A mock county board meeting has
been suggested as a means Of arous-
ing interest in the discussion and to
