Turtle Mountain Times: Bottineau has
- a chip on her shoulder, and dares anybody to
kick 1t of. They are ready to kick shins
with any foot ball team In the state. Rolla,
where are You at? .
Tom White and Madam made a visit to
sthe Antler region the first end Of this
week to-see some relatives and former ac-
'quatntances. Tom says they have a fine
settlement on both sides the boundary-and
u beautiful country as well. And Tom
knows pretty nearly what he Is talking about.
William Hedges is visiting his brother
John, looking at the country and talking
with the people. He is not long from Ont,
and intends returning soon, is agenial,
pleasant fellow very much like Jack-it'a a
pity he won't stay mere. We need a host Of
just such men.
Joe McKinnon visited Laporte and Nc
Pbee's herd last week and came back very
enthusiastic over the appearance and posi-
abilities OF the country west of the river.
Joe declares 1t to he the finest country he
; ever saw both for stock and grain, and says
the gentlemen named above have the best
range this side Montana.

THESE are two Of our best known young

COMMISSIONS Cudhie, over his official sigma
ture says: "Certainly it merits the con-
hdence and support Of the farmers of the
state" j. M. Watson of Willow City, repre-
sents 1t In Bottineau Co. and will soon call
>-on you.
j. b. Sinclair and party came into town
Thursday evening, having finished the con-
tract on hand consisting of three towns in
Ward Co. When Mr.. Sinclair arrived home
hefeund awaiting him a contract for six
towns in McHenry Co. and will return al
most Immediately to do the work. This
, speaks well for the accuracy of Mr.. Sinclair
work, as this department is exceeding parti-
""cular on that point. We are pleased to see
him get it.
W. never like to hit a man when he is
down, but there we're some peculiarly mean
features of the Tom Steele case which de-
serve special mention, and which last week
escaped us. We refer especially to bis treat
ment of his brother Will, whom he defraud-
ed out of $5O0-money earned by the latter
by hard work and loaned to Tom without
security in order that the latter might buy
.horses and machinery. For such unbrother-
~ as well as dishonest conduct, we have
naught but contempt.
Frank J. Mead in Northwestern Monitor:
The country editor may be frank, manly and
outspoken in his ex cathedra utterances: he
must not be arbitrary, dictatorial, stubborn,
~non-comprom ing. His newspaper is the
village forum, where every citizen has a
right not only to Voice but to considcrate
treatment even for his whims and his cranky
notiops. The EDITORS duty is not to control
but to guide public sentiment. He should
be the philosopher of the neighborhood; the
friend Of all; the counsellor Of the ignorant;
ithe champion Of the defenseless; a hater of
corruption; an u~nselfish defender of the
fright. 9
Bismarck Tribune: It is said a Bottineau
democrat, who wanted a pull-and incident
ally, OF course, an office, wrote to State
committeeman Leistikow for endorsement,
and in reply received a letter In which Leis-
tikow stated that he endorsed no candidate
except of Senator Roach's selection, as he
wished in no wise to Interfere with that
g~entleman's MISUNDERSTANDING functions,
aud wished to leave him free in the making
of his selection. If the fact is as stated,
then politics may possibly be better than
4nften reported, and the memory of Chester
field has not altogether died out.

Hope Pioneer: Hope by all means should
have been represented by q float this week
In tho j. j. Hill celebration In st. Paul.
About the proper thing in the way of a float
would have been a representation of the
Hopetrain couchant In Everest, with the
passengers patiently waiting In the clean a.
pleasant n and commodious ca depot as a
background. Then to carry out the thug
further let them represent the pleasant ca
trip up the branch after they get started,
travelling ut the rate of 6 miles an hour and
Including stops of an hour, more or less
generally more, at the stations along the
line. Then another beautiful feature which
could be represented would be a shipper over
the road standing with d fac-simile freight
billfn hsshapd and an empty purse lying
before him. BY all means Hope should
have 4 float IN the procession Her people
have paid for q nuinbe Of Jim Hill floats.
