The Free Lance, in its last issue, indulg-
ed in its usual spitesul venom, and sought
10 prejudice it's readers against the indie
pendant candidate for Clerk of the District
Court by an i%nsinuation that what he had
said concerning the republican candidate
for senator was because lie was n Norweg-
ian. No meaner or more low-lived asser-
ton could be made. Mr.. Bennett said
nothing more than what was justified by
the remarks of q prominent gentleman in
the republican ranks, who said he will not
vote for Mr.. Svensrud because of his youth
fu lness, lncxperience md inability to ex
ercise his own judgement, and the party
who said that was the more respectable
member of what the Free Lance has fire.

One Of the ways by which the late
Democratic county convention was
deprived of its rightful choice for
clerk of the court, WAS the selection
!pf republicans to take part in the con-
vention. Robert Brander, avowedly
a republican, who had the honesty to
acknowledge it at a late meeting of
the county convention, cast two votes.
,'otoriously n of the delegates from
the first district misrepresented his
constituency, making.8 votes on the
last ballot which, deducted from that
cas-. for MI. Williamson, would have
put him in a minority; and yet the
democracy Of Bottineau county is
asked to sustain this fraud. Citizens
ind democrats, rebuke this at the
polls next Tuesday.

WHAT COL. PLUMMER DIDN'T TELL

US.
TARIFF FOR TURTLE MOUNTAIN.
a few eastern schooled tariff idiots out
west are trying to extol the merits Of the
tariff to the Turtle Mountain people. They
have an example of how the tariff don't en-
courage home manufactures right ut their
doors. The St. John Review gives this
item
"Mr. Leigh, the man who makes crockery
at tue Turtle Mountains, near Dunseilh,
was in town Sunday. He was returning
fro n q trip to Killarney where he had gone
to re, Give come gr, und flint and stone 70,
enameling. He informed us that he wa,
unable to secure the articles in the United
States, as the business was ~moEopolized in
the interest of the confined potters. He
says they magnauimously offered to furnish
him the article in question at the rate of IL
cents per pound, while the price of the sam
pie in Ontario is p cents"
Let q rival be started in N. Dakota whe,e
just as good material exists for q pottery at
in New Jersey, and soon the New Jersey
Doodle senators would be asking for a tariff
of l2l cents a pound on ground flint and
stone. Vote the protection to trusts down

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

In determining how to vote for con-
gress and members of the legislature,
it is well to know voters hal if you
favor tariff reform it will not do to
vote for Mr.. Svensrud, even if he
personally favors the reduction of the
tariff, because when it comes to vote
for u. S. Senator, the men will be
nominated by u party caucus and Mr..
.Svensrud will be obliged to vote for
the party candidte, who will be a
high tariff protectionist and Mr..
Svensrud hasn't the courage to 20
against the nominee Of his party
when it does wrong. Vote, therefore,
the democratic ticket for member OF
congress, state senator and represent
tatiye any how.

Il Il to Such Points % These
That North Dakota Owes Ito
Wonderful Development.
Therefore, Read and Reflect, and II
You Are Wise, Profit by Your
Inevitable Conclusions.

Do you know that 80 per cent. Of the
cultivated lands Of North Dakota have
never been more than half plowed and
tended?
Do you know that every forty acres Of
average North Dakota soil will furnish a
living for the largest family?
Do you know that it won't pay to
leave North Dakota for any other part
Of the country
Do you know that Montana and Wyo-
ming suffered more this year from
drouth than North Dakota2
Do you know that Montana stockmen
will have to drive their cattle and horses
into North Dakota to feed this winter,
or else send here and to the East for hay
and other feed? ...
Do you know that, az . rule, North
Dakota people have NO reason to COM

Do you know that the wonderful de-
vefopnsnt Of North Dakota answers 10
the line in the song Of being "A Nation

Do you know that when we settle
down in earnest and unfold our re-
sources that Nerth Dakota will rank
among thu most prosperous Of the Amer
lean states?
Do you know that it is q poor time to
leave North Dakota just as the great
territory is putting on the garments and
strength of statehood?
Do you know that it is the time to In

Do. you know that with statehood
there will be q greater inflow Of capital
into North Dakota for investment than
under the territorial condition?
Do you know that North Dakota has .
better climate than along the Atlantic

DON'T TAKE SUCH BIG BITES.
Dakota farmers, don't try to do too
much; don't try to too much land,

of his own work as possible. And be
THOROUGH in all that is done. One acre

CAN'T JUDGE DAKOTA soll.


Ex-Governor Foster,o OF the Sioux corn-
mission, has been airing . hastily formed
opinion about the lands soon to be
opened up for settlement on the great
reservation. He says that very little Of
1t is fit for agricultural purposes, a good
deal Of 1t is suited to grazing, while
some Of it is of no use. When he was
appointed to . place on the commission
he said he was just the man for such Q
position because he knew nothing about
the Indians. We wish right here to in
quireif it isnot possible Mr.. Foster knows
nothing about Western lands. He il not
tho first man to be fooled by appear.
ances. Gen. Hazen, who lived tor years
at military posts in Dakota, officially de-
clared as chief signal officer Of
the government weather service, that
the great territory was IAN alkali des-
ert unfit for human habitation." Gen.
Hazen had better opportunity for obser-
walton than Governor Foster, and made,
too, at a time when the vast unsettled
prairies rather warranted the charge Of
being d~esolate, but Governor Foster
passed over q large part Of Hazen's 'al-
kali plain" and found it spotted with
thriving towns and prosperous farms,
and yet it seems he failed to learn any
thing from the declarations Of Hazen
and other false prophets. Governor
Foster may be a competent Judge of the
clay soil of the fiat woods Of Northwest
ern Ohio, but his opinion is not good out
in Dakota, where the soils capabilities
have put to shame much wiser men, who
like the governor condemned with only
superficial ideas of the situation.

WE'RE FAvoRABLY IMPRESSED.

A few weeks ago Senators Stewart and
Reagan made a tour through Dakota to
investigate the matter Of the practical
bility of irrigating those portions of the
country which could thereby be bene-
flied. A few days ago The Chicago
Inter- Ocean contained an interview with
these gentlemen, who expressed them
selves as both surprised and deeply i'm
pressed with what they saw in the two
Dakotas. Senator Stewart spoke espe-
cia]ly Of the character of the people. 1t
seemed to him as if the entire country
had been looked over for the "bfawniest
and fttest young men" to populate and
develop Dakota. These young men had
built up a mighty empire. The results
OF their labor was the surprise of the
times. 'It SEEMS" says the senator,
"almost like the rubbing Of Aladdin's
lamp; for, 10, in a night and a day, a.
it were, a new state was born"
The senators were most profoundly
impressed with the extent of the artes-
ian basin of the James Valley. They
will recommend to congress that COM
petent engineers and biologists be ap-
pointed to investigate fully the exten of
the artesian water supply. They will
also urge the appropriation Of a sum-
Gent sum to bore as many wells as may
be necessary in order to determine
where such wells may be pro1tably
sunk.
Thus. while irrigation, rs some argue,
may not be necessary in order to grow
crops successfully, the matter of the ar
tesian water supply in the two Dakotas
will receive the attention of congress,
and sufficient of the needful to carry on
the work of investigation. Once more
it is the old flag and an appropriation.
