gave the subject much thought, but

The agitation over the Sioux Falls
convention discloses not only democrat
ic but republican opposition. The re-
publlcans who oppose it, however, are
the remaining representatives of Ord
wayism and the capital ringsters. The
democratic opponents are those lndi-
vidual partizans who would rather see
Dakota doomed TO eternal territorial
government than: to have it come in as
a republican state. From a party stand
point nothing different could be ex-
pected.-Devil's Lake Inter Ocean"
MI. Mitchell, of Crow Lake, while

escape from drowning a few days ago.
Her mother sent her out to draw a pail
of water, and after drawing the water
one board of the covering, which she
happened to be standing on, fell and

her at the door and told her she thought

Hanson County Advocate: Wenotice
an occasional exchange with q past
record of professed sympathy and sup
port for division and statehood, that
are now lukewarm or fatty discourage
ing and opposing it. The same can be
said Of individuals. Asno explanation
is made is it not, proper to ask what has
wrought the change? Certainly the
cause is none the. less worthy. 1T is
noticeable, however, that this indiffer-
ence of, or opposition to a noble cause
eminates from a failure to consumate
some cherished personal OF local scheme
that has been knocked IN the head.
Such patriotism % is self evident that
the person or community possessing it
is stricken with the dry rot, and at this
critical time their room is worth more
than their company. II division and
admission are deferred until the kick
ers are %reconciled, it will indeed he
some time before we shall see the OBJ
ject accomplished.
