From among the few newspaper effu-
slons against the statehood movement
we select the following as exhibiting in
the superlative degree the extreme to
which an unreasoning prejudice can
carry its votaries. 1t is from the Red.
field Dispatch:
One of the most curious things We
have noticed lately is the gravity and
seriousness with which the few people
who concern themselves about the Sioux
Falls convention go through the farce of
holding caucuses, county conventions,
etc. One would suppose that they really
expected Hugh Campbell's crack. Drained
scheme to lead to some glorious practical
result, instead of making laughing
stock OF all who take part in it.
The sample is a fair one SO far as any
line OF argument is concerned upon the
part Of those who hold to the theory OF
absolute dependence. We have been
watching aud waiting for the appearance
of single good reason why self govern.
ment Is not more desirable than condi.
tion of vassalage, but all that comes is
the covert sneer aud labored invective.
1t would seem that the men who put
them forth would be ashamed Of Their
own mental and moral littleness. 1t is
not go, however. lfan existence upon
the broad prairie expanse of Da'
kota fails to develop some degree
OF manhood, the cases of these human
anomalies are hopeless. Fortunately
however, for Dakota, there is in the lex.
icon OF the true, progressive American
citizen no such word as subserviency to
a higher power, and Dakota possesses its
full quota of true and progressive Amer.
lean citizens. 1t is demonstrated that
there are few of the other sort-a few
who profess to look upon the initial
movement towards the organization of q
grand state as a "farce" and "crsck
Drained scheme" They do not seem tc
care to Know that the present movement
is strictly in accordance with historical
precedent and that every detail thereof
possesses the sanction OF the nation oi
which We desire to become q part. They
are cutiously constructed creatures

The Fargo Argus started proposition
Tor north Dakota convention to consid.
er the desirability Of admission as q
whole. The Argus did this because the
syndicate told it to and the proposition
as an absurdity ranks along with the
many selfish schemes Of that gang. A
north Dakota convention to consider .
subject of vital importance to all of Da-
kota will not strike the honorable people
OF the north as possessing many OF the
elements of fairness. In fact the pro.
posed Argus convention, if it is ever
held, is liable to sit down upon the main
question in q manner which will cause
its originator to ask to be delivered from
his friends. The north wants division
and wants it in earnest and it is not
within the range of possibilities for
Ordway to force from its people an e1-
preston in favor Of the admission as
whole scheme. He is liable to pack q
convention to do his bidding. But we
believe the northerners will put trusty
men on guard who will see that the de.
vices of the wicked shall fail.

The people OF northern Dakota are not
generally aware OF the existence in
Roberts county OF as attractive summer
resort as there is in the west. Big Stone
lake stretches itself along the eastern
boundary of that county. 1t is beautl.
fnl sheet of water, fringed with heavy
growth of timber and studded with
shady islands. 1t is yet in the rough,
about as nature leftit, but this condition
adds to its attractiveuess. This resort
has just been brought into prominence
by the Methodist camp meeting held
on its banks. under the auspices of Da-
kota churches, which was pleasant and
successful affair. Big Stone will some
day become the rallying point of the

to be seen at its best it must be seen in
its primitive solitude. The arts of man
can never improve upon the original
