a question often asked. There was
nothing indefinite in F. Hopkinson
Smiths selection of structure when
he brought Col. Carter to New York.
The old frame rear house that was
No. 5S1a West Tenth street was the
home of. the Tile Club, of which the
author -artist-lighthouse constructor
was a member. AS an organization
that club was unique in the annals
of artistic life in America. 1t origi-
mated in the autumn of 1877 when
one afternoon a little group of paint
ers, among them Smith, Edwin A.
Abbey, Swain Clifford, w. r. O'Dono-
van. ]. H. Twachtman and Elihu
Vedder, had gathered in the studio
of Napoleon Sarony. Soon it found
it's quarters in 5Sh West Tenth
street. 1t is small wonder that F.
Hopkinson Smith, seeking a New
York home for his Virginian hero,
turned to the old structure that he
knew and loved so well.

MT EGRO character has been stere-
IN otyped for us in the pages of
fiction and in countless anecdotes as
carefree, indolent and thieving; to
these qualities has been added oc-
casionally in the rosewater romances
of the South the quality of doglike
devotion. We have let it go at that,
just as we have accepted a stereo-
type of the American Indian which
presents him as slightly more capa-
BILE OF the lighter emotions than the
wooden counterpart of him that for
merly stood outside our cigar stores.
We remember it came as some
thing of a shock when one of our
friends, who, as an anthropologist,
had spent years in intimate associa-
tion with the Indians of North
America. informed us that he knew
no people more fun loving than they
Even then we accepted his estimate
with reservations. Later acquaint-
dHtc Will AiltUo O'liG IkbIu, a solOuA,
and Humptulips Jimmy, a Siwash,
brought us round to another way Of
thinking.
One Road, who is now a mission
ary among his people out in the Da-
kotas. could be as gay upon occasion
as any man; and we shall never for
get the sly fooling of Humptulips
when he acted as our guide down the
Quinault River in the Olympic PENN
sula, or the chuckles of his fat
squaw when we shaved a rock just
this side of an upset.

conception we have of them is de-
rived from reading we did before we
were fourteen. or from fugitive

Government, the United States of

sBirthright.'

@ Q far as we know the only novel
~ that makes more than a carica-
ture or sentimental picture of the
negro is T. s. Stribling's Birth
right" which the Century Company
has just published. For that reason
ana because "Birthright' is a novel
of excellent quality we hope the
book will have wide reading.
We do not know whether Mr.
Stribling wrote his book chiefly from
the standpoint of one interested in
telling a story or for the effective
ness it might have in bringing home
to as wide a public as possible the
situation in which the black race
finds itself in this country to-day
Whatever his chief concern may
have been, "Birthright" is certain to
set people thinking about the negro
problem who never thought much
about it before.
The author, who is himself white.
advances no solution of this racial
difficulty. and there is no reason why
one should be demanded of him. Nor
does he predict that dire things will
happen unless some solution is
found He makes us realize very
sharply the personal tragedies that
have resulted from the blending of
white blood with black. and he makes
very clear the injury we have done
the negro by accepting blindly the
stereotypes of his character by
which we judge him.
There is the matter for instance
Of petty thievery. 1t is regarded as
an axiom, North and South, that
negro servants will steal. Mr.. Strib-
ling's Peter Siner, a mulatto. who.
after a Harvard education, goes back
TO the Tennessee town where he was
reared to help in the education of his
race. tries to tell the white people
that they have made a thief of the
negro. You pay your cook a dollar
or two a week." he tells them. "and
expect that she will carry off a GER
tain amount of food and c.othing.
Wouldn't you rather pay her a de-
cent wage and remove the necessity
for stealing?'
They laugh at him. "You can't
change a Niger" is the invariable
reply. Mr.. Stribling points out that
slavery made impossible a growth oi
the sense Of property rights in the
negro. lie had none of his own.
The story of Peter Siner is that

the most disheartening tasks that
can be chosen III America. What

But one change from the program
advertised in the Chautauqua book
lets has been made. Mr.. Vawter
eyer watchful for good attractions for
his patrons, had an opportunity after
the program was made up and print
ed, to secure the famous Nipple Con-
cert Co. to fill the place for which
the Mercedes Concert Co. were an
nounced. 1t was too good an oppor-
tunity to pass up, for the Nipples are
one of the most delightful company
of instrumental entertainers in the
Chautauqua world. They feature a
magnificent large marimbaphone, &
various combinations of instruments.
Reports from towns where they have
appeared thus far indicate that they
are one of the headline attractions on
the program.

WATCH YOUR WIRING

A great deal Of illegal and impro-
per electrical work is being done in
North Dakota at the present time,
much Of which is invalidating insur-
ance and costing the public large
sums to have done over in a legal
manner. This is also endangering a
great deal of property and, in some
cases, endangering human life.
Our North Dakota Laws provide
for the protection of the public that
all electricians must be licensed.
This law grades the electrical licenses
as follow s'
First. Master electricians who
must furnish bonds for the protection
Of the public and who may employ
and be responsible for ;ourneyman
electricians.
Second. Journeymen electricians
who are licensed to do electrical wir-
ing and repair work, but who must
work under the supervision of a Mas
ter electrician vino shall be RESPONSE
BILE for their work
Third. Special electricians who
operate moving pictures machines,
switch boards and other electrical
machinery, but who are not licensed
pair work.
These laws are wholly for the pro-
lection of the public, private property
and human life against the dangers
OF unsafe electrical installations.
Any person is eligible to any class of
electrical license is capable of doing
that class OF electrical work and only
reasonable examination is required
to secure such license.
The public is hereby asked to re-
port any unlicensed person or any
person not of the proper license class
| ificatiOn who may do, or offer to do,
electrical work or repair work, or any
unlicensed person operating moving
picture machines, switch boards or
machinery requiring license. All
reports will be held strictly confiden-
tial and should be made direct to R.

clans strongly endorse this publicity.

NESToS WILL PROBABLY
CARRY STATE BY 5000
Oscar Johnson Wins Place on
Ticket for Sheriff, Orn
in Second Place
STATE RETURNS SLOW

Election returned have been COM
ing in very slowly and it is imposs-
ible to give complete results in many
OF the contests. Reports from state
headquarters as we go to press state
that with about half the vote re-
ported Nestos is leading by $4,000
and will probably carry the state by
5000. McCumber's lead is only T.,
500 and indicates his defeat by a
small margn. The Independent tick
ct will carry with Nestos with possi-
bly, one or two exceptions.
In the county, complete returns in
dicate that Oscar Johnson is high
man for sheriff by one vote, P. F. Orn
being in second place. This count
may be changed either way by few
votes when the official canvass is
made. The results given below, with
the exception of sheriff, are with one
or two precincts missing.
On the Legislative ticket the Lea
que has carried the district by a
good margin owing to the strong Lea
que vote in Griggs county. For rep
resentatives the vote there was as fol-
lows: Carlson 1888, E. A. Erickson

persons not enrolled at the encamp-

was given to the High School in honor

work made it necessary this year for
many of the farm boys to stay away
Next year the encampment will be
pushed ahead one week to overcome
this difficulty and will also give the
IS chance to celebrate here on
the 14th as we'll.
The encampment feature proved
to be quite interesting. Each morn
ing the flag was raised and in the
evening lowered with the usual mill
tary ceremonies accompanied by the
proper calls with the bugle. Suffici-
ent military training was given to
enable the boys to act as military
unit for raising and lowering the flag.
All calls for the formations were
given by the bugle and for instruc-
ton by the school bell. The number
that slept in the building after "taps"
each evening ranged from five to
thirteen.
The entertainment side of the ell
campment was not omitted by any
means. During all leisure periods of
the day, indoor baseball played out
side proved to be the chief diversion.
The regular baseball games had to be
dispensed with due to the fact that
there were not sufficient gloves for

basketball also were played in the
