WHY BISMARCK IS THE PLACE. There are soaie very good reasons why the city of Bismarck is the best place in the state for holding a great exposition of the scope and preten-' sions of tho Third North Dakota In dustrial Exposition, which will open its doors on Qc{6b|r and remain open until th£ lStn' oPnhat month. In the first place, Bismarck is so located as to be very nearly in the center of that part of the state where lies most of the really desirable and available agricultural land. North, south, east, and west can be found nu merous very choice opportunities for. grain or mixed farming, to be secur ed by homestead location or purchase upon easy terms at reasonable prices. Then again our city has splendid railway connection?, having direct and rapid communication with prac tically every part of 'fhe state. Be cause of this condition, Bismarck has come to be a city of fine hotels and we are splendidly equipped for han dling even the great throngs that, will be sure to attend the big event next fall. During the past month upwards of two thousand visitors have been Within our gates, attending the vari ous conventions and religious gather ings, for which the capital city is fast becoming famous, and at no time has there been a hint of overcrowd ing or lack of ability among our com petent bonifaces in taking care of the city's guests. This is as it. should be ^and bespeaks many more important ^,S^tlie rings in the future. Another cogent argument in favor of Bismarck as the exposition city is thfe' magnificent building available for exhibitive purposes. Leased to the state for this very purpose, through the generosity of the Northern I'aci nc railway management, the expendi ture of at least $"0,000 is entirely ob viated and what would be a serious problem in any other city, in the state is overcome with out. cost of any kind beyond the ordinary mainten ance. This building has been so al tered and added to that it would be hard to And anywhere in the country a more suitable edifice for exposition purposes. The alcove idea for indi vidual or county exhibits is an espe cially commendable feature, offering as it does the most favorable oppor tunity for segregation of the different displays, while at the same time main taining the harmony of the exposition as a whole. Visitors to the 1913 event will find much new matter to interest them and it is expected to show by the ag ricultural exhibits the progress that ohr farmers have made during the past year. Ey reason of her central position, previously mentioned, exhib its can be received from ail partis of the state expeditiously and in good condition. The Commercial club re ports much interest being manifested and there is every assurance that the displays, when arranged in their prop er places, will delineate faithfully the various activities of our people, both in agriculture and other industries. The Boyden boys, Charley and Tom, have purchased the interest of Char ley Allen in the Lisbon Free Press, and now have it all their own-way. Charley print* with a pencil, while Tom prints telegraph a la N. P., hut they are old-timers there and have their heart In the town. Tom went to Lisbon in the early days and was one of the men who soared tee under brush in order to make a beautiful city in the Sheyenu* valley. Charley oa'fip Inter. THf Prop f'rpsn, known then as the Star, was there ahead ol' both of ('hem, hence they are all three old-timers, and will do what they can to boost, for Lisbon. NO CAUSE FOR PERSONALITIES. (iraud Ffirkf Herald: It is it!way,'-: uiiloiiutiaie wlu'ji personal feeling and personal comment become mixed in wltli matters pertaining to public affairs. It is ti fact, however, that the personal element has a. habit of forc ing itself into almost, everything Ib.'H goes on, and there, seems to bo no way of avoiding it. A case in point that of the suit, over the appropri ations for the tax commission, which suit was recently decided by the su preme court. The tax commission was created by an act of the legislature of 11)11, an'I for the few months of its existence prior to the last legislative session money for the compensation and ex penses of the commissioners was paid from tho siale treasury. The !-iw stated what, these sums should be, tint, it contained no form such as is usual in these cases, stating In sub stance that "there is hereby appro priated the si.m of for the pur poses above set forth." A specific appropriation of $.1,000 was made for one item, but that was all. When Auditor Jorgenson took charge of the oflice of state auditor he hell that the only valid appropriation in the act was that of the 3,000, and that when that sum had been expended he could not legally authorize any further payments on account of the tax commission. The question was a debatable one. Some lawyers of abil ity held one way, some another. It was evidently a case for an interpret ation of the law by the only body competent to interpret it, the su preme court. The tax commission brought suit to comp«i payment, the case went to the supreme court, and the court held with the commission, taking the position that If the auditor was in doubt as to the legality of the appropriation it was so obviously his duty to take steps to ascertain just what the law was that there can be no question of tho propriety of his action, and the personal flings that are being made at him in the Bismarck Times, edited hy one of the members of the commission, are, to say the least, in wretched taste. The supreme court expressed Itself quite clearly on this phase, EDUCATION IN GERMANY AND IN THE UNITED STATES "The average man of the people in America is much more interested in the affairs of the public school than the average man in Germany," de clares Dr. George Kerschensteiner, a well known German educator, in "A Comparison of Public Education in Germany and the United States," just issued by the Bureau of Education. "In the daily press, reports and dls cussions on educational topics occupy a .space which to many observation is fully ten times that, which German newspapers devote to the same sub ject." Dr. Kerschensteiner compares point by point the school systems in the two countries. He shows how Germany secures educational efficien cy by centralization of authority with in tlie individual states. He admits that possibly centralization has gone even further than is desirable hi Ger many, but is equally positive that there is not enough centralization within the individual states of this country. As a result of the lack of State compulsion, he says, "we see today in the United States the sharp est contrasts between school systems that are incredibly poor and ohers of the highest possible type, that, would do credit*to the finest civilized na tions of the globe.'' He finds that American, citizens of a community have more direct control over their schools than in Germany, and com mends this condition. He compares the teachers in the two countries— their training, tiheir salaries, their tenure of oflice. He discusses reli gion in the schools, of the ifm coun tries, co-education, and other points of similarity and differences. Direct election of school board members by the citizens, as found in the United States, impressed Dr. Ker schensteiner very ""favorably. •.. He notes that in Germany ths citizens have little or nothing to say about their'school system. "In Germaay the local school boards are nowhere chosen by popular vote," he declares. He thinks the American plan might he a yery good thing for his own coun try, particularly as a means of arous- ing genuine public Interest in educa tlon. The American high school comes la for some interesting ccyame&t by Dr. Kerschensteiner. both complimentary and otherwise rip praisea the high school's democratic r.pirit, its aim to educate all the people but he misses the thoroufihn?ss that characterises the work of the German gymnasium. In both nations the schools are now in a period of great development, ac cording to the Munich educator, "The great advantage thai Germany po:5 sense. ," he declares, "in addition to the relent less thoroughness of tlm whole educational work, is the well regulated organization of a state-pro vided school system, which requires in each community a school as good as that in every other community, r.-ut this advantape has been purchas ed at the expense of many qualities for which we must envy the American schools," TODAY IN HISTORY1 July 9 1S10- The kingdom of Holland annex ed to France.

O11 Situation As Viewed From Wall Street By Henry Clewi. NEW YORK, July 8. 1913—We enter the second half of 1913 after nearly a year of almost continuous shrinkage In Stock Exchange values. The highest av erage point reached for twenty leading railways in 1012 was 121 on August 14th and 92 for the twelve leading industrials. .lime 30th of the current year the average of twenty leading railways was 10?. and of twelve leading industrials 7-1 This is a drop within eleven months of 1 points in the. average of railroad shares and 18 points in industrial shares an almost sensational decline and tho hulk of it has taken place since the election. That it has been accomplished with no serious disaster, is excellent evi dence of the inherent soundness of af fairs in general. The question is. will importance ot' this as a stocs market factor has n-n ynt been fuLy reaiiie-V Fin-i'ly the monetary situation is right ing itself. The July settlements abroad were passed wih.-uc the much feared disturbances. July payments in this country, often a source of temporary stringency, were passed without a rip ple, and this in spite of unsatisfactory monetary conditions. In spite of July dividend and interest payments, aggre gating $266,000,000, call loans ranged rom 1 to 2 1-4 per cent. Our tariff is now in the last stages of preparation, though it may be some weeks before actually passed and months before go ing Into effect. The worst in this respect is already known, and any changes in schedules are likely to be a relief rath er than an additional impediment to manufacturer? and merchants. Once tho bill is passed, the dispostion will cer- as a mattei of safety it would be well for Congress to extend the Aldrlch-Vree land bill until' such time as a satisfactory currency bill can be enacted. As a result of the conservative bank ing policy pursued for the past two or thivp months our banks are steadily strengthening their cash resources and are now in a much better position for meeting the anticipated uutumnal de mands. As usual the contingencies most dreaded have been warded off by antici pation. 1'all money is very abundant, owing to the ample supply of cash, and easy rates in this respect are antici pated until the crops begin to move. The only unsatisfatcory feature of tnc monetary situation Is tlie insistent de mand for new capital, which too fre quently is obtained hy excessive issues the second half of 191S show a eontiruia.- of short term notes. It is to be noted, tlon of this tendency or is not at least a moderate recovery about due? Ever since the election the market has been treated to a succession of nightmares. The Balkan war was one: fear of a worldwide stringency in mon ey another: tariff revision another an unsatisfactory railroad situation another and the serifs of Important dissolutions In compliance with the Sherman anti trust law stiil another. And yet the much dreaded Minnesota rate that thos.' ilenuinds are being postponed or altogether refused. IHtring June the new security issues amounted to $180, 000,000. compared with $299,000,000 a year ago. a decline of $118,000,000. The amount 01' tainly be .to. make the best of it, though conservative and are inclined to enforce for the last six months the inclination (contraction and moderate readjustment, was naturally the reverse. In any event Liquidation has been prolnoged and se the proposed new schedules have already vere in securities it lias made consider- been largely discounted. Comparatively few concerns will be injured by the new rates, and it is frequently overlooked that in many respects the lower scbed-. ules will be a positive impetus to trade activity. The currency bill is having rough sailing. It contains not a few self-righting has been going on. for near new features which are unsatisfactory i.v a full year many difficulties have to bankers, anr which leave the present been safely passed and those that re bill more of a makeshift than a real |maln have been well discounted. As cure for present banking and currency soo nas the crop and monetary situa- ills. Unfortunately popular prejudice and Ignorance stand in the way of a reali'y satisfactory currency measure. Probab ly the bill will pass in due time. But MARKETS. OULUTH.

In many cases shelves are bare and active buying will be necessary for replenishment. This means a restarting of many idle mill's.

Denver has 10 public playgrounds, with a teaching corps of 19 men and women. Women teach practical agriculture in the elementary schools of Tippeca noe county, Ind. Swimming lessons, sex hygiene in struction, aviation and wireless tel egraphy are some of the new subjects in city public schools as reported to the United States Bureau of Educa tion. "The best thing in my section this 'year was the introduction of industri al education for the negroes by means of a negro supervisor," writes a di vision superintendent of schools in Virginia. It costs 25 typical American cities an average of less than a dollar a year per pupil to provide free t^xt^ books, according to W. S. DefMi4 baugh, oi the United States Bureau of Education. The course of study in the Alaba ma Normal schools is to be radically I changed to include such subjects as: killers,! Rural ociology, biology, doaiestic science, domestic art, library meth ods, school gardening, and agriculture through club work. Some of the rural schools in the state of Washington have college graduates as teachers.
