Opinions Expressed by N. d. Dailies.

JamesCOWn Alert: North DakOtaS
wool interests are growing larger and
more important each month in the year.
The wool clip is the strongest evidence
that this is the natural climate and
range for the best development of sheep.
The wool this season is cleaner and more
desirable than last year, owing to the
abundant grass which keeps down dust.
Sheep also respond in both flesh and
wool wrowth to the richer punishment
furnished by the present luxuriant grass.
There is no doubt as to the great fu-
ture before North Dakota in the sheep
industry. The Greatest need now is that
of buyers who will come to the wool
c~enters of the state and compete for the
product and pay cash for what they buy.
Farmers and merchants do not get the
best results from commission men hand
ling wool, at this distance from market.
Another drawback 10 the absence of a
known grade. At present the wool pro-
duct Of this state, which ought to be
known the same as No. l hard wheat, is
classed among territorial woods" a term
which indicates %cheapness and undesira-
bility rather than otherwise. North Da-
kota wool growers ought to look out for
their product by forming the strongest
kind of a state association and working
to improve the market at home.
Grand Forks Herald: "The Star" has
arisen at Aberdeen, to shine for the al
lance. It is conducted by H. L. Loucks,
G. G. Crosse, w. E. Kidd and others. Its
%salutatory announces that sit is not de-
signed to fill any long felt want" Here
is a sample Of its editorial utterances.
"The Star will advocate the appropi ia
tion of all the profits of labor by those
who toll. Capital is but the accumula-
ton of labor's productions, and is enti-
tied to nom of tbs profits" The Herald
commends this doctrine to the farmers
of North Dakota who after years of Ia
Dor have paid for and now W their
farms. Is the wner of the farm entitled
to no share iii the profits Of it's %cultiva-
ton? Do farmers who pay taxes on
their farms propose to give all the profits
of cultivation to the hired man. This
doctrine may go with the alliance in
South Dakota but not with the alliance
of North Dakota. But this is the doc
trine promulgated by H. L. Loucks.
Fargo Republican,: 1T is alleged"
numerous thirst extinguishing establish
ments will be opened in Fargo soon,
with the expectation that they may thrive
and grow exceedingly fat on the sale of
highly adulterated "pop"' until such
time as the sere and yellow leaf reminds
them that the 6. j. is about to assemble
once more.
Grand Forks Plaindealer: North Da-
kotans are not so interested in politics
now that they discuss "the situation"
Sundays and keep their wives awake
nights talking politics in their sleep.
Pretty soon harvest time will be along
and there will be less "arguing" than
now. The Plaindealer hopes every voter
and all who are not voters who are old
enough to study economic questions,
will keep abreast of all that is happen
ing in business, political and intellectual
lines. With magazines and papers each
can do this for himself. Then we shall
have a community of thinkers, of indie
pendent, earnest citizens. Examine into:
every important matter from all points
Of view-and the country will be safe.
Valley City item: There is consider
able newspaper talk, down at the twin
cities, as to the wild mustard in North
Dakota, and a dispatch from Valley City,
to the Journal, dated the 23d, says that
it has damaged the growing crop Is to %
per cent. This is in error. There is no
more, and we learn, not as much wild
mustard 9 in former years. The pep-
per grass, which has appeared this year,
will cause some trouble, yet not to The
