Thistle i'm E,n,no,,. couutx.

Bismarck Tribune: Senator j. II.
Worst came in from his farm in Emmons
county last evening and was in the city
this morning attending to some private
business. The senator, as farmer, takes
considerable interest in the Russian
thistle question, and is interested in the
ways and means which will be taken for
its suppression. "Ycs, we have some
Russian thistle in Emmons," he said
"but it has gained no great beadway as
yet. 1t Is the first time it has ever been
noticed there, and 1t causes some anxiety.
Ihave looked over my farm pretty care.
fully, and found about forty of the
plants, all of which l pulled and de-
stroyed. They are an elusiye thing at
times. and one IS often found IN place
which has been examined for them pretty
carefully. The frost this year. however,
has rendered them less likely to do harm,
l think. They are dead and heavy, and
do not blow about with as much ease
as reportcds There are large patches Of
them on the trail and road to Bismarck,
and farmers can do no better than to de-
stroy all which they find, and make a
special duty Of looking for them with
that intent, lt.is my opinion that if evo
cry farmer in the state had taken day
off and devoted it to searching for and de-
stroyiag these plants, ninety per. cent Of
them would have been done away with,

THE writer has sbeleved right along
that the old soldier, Henry Livingston,
should have long ago been sent to the
soldiers home, where he could be cared
for properly. 1t seems that, after the
county had paid several hundred dollars
to s. A. Hawks for care of livingston,
and proposition to take him for less
had been made by another settler, the
county board, through the auditor, put
themselves in communication with the
national soldiers home at Milwaukee,
and paragraph in the official proceed.
ings of the recent meeting Of the board
states that
"a communication from the North.
western Branch, National Home for D. "
s. at Milwaukee, Wis.,, shows that the

cancy exists he will receive due notice Of
same"
Knowing that the old soldiers of this
county do not"relish having one Of their
number in poor-house or on o poor list,
knowing that it might be months before
"a vacancy" would be reached at Mil
waukee, knowing also that the state of
North Dakota has a,flne soldiers home at
Lisbon, the editor of this paper wrote to
Col. W. W. Mcllvain, commandant of the
home, asking him whether Mr.. Livings-
ton would be admitted to the institution.
Promptly by return mail came the follow
ing letter from Col. Mcllvain:

Streeter, Williamsport, N. D.-Dear Sir

Now, the attention Of the commissioner

either of these gentlemen, to the end that
the admission of Mr.. Livingston to the

Russian thistle in North Dakots


D. Roberts & Sons in American Sheep
Breeder We would like to give your
readers our views in regard to the Rus
sian thistle. Have seen much published
on this subject, and many writer's give
good advice about destroying it with the
hoe. Our farm (Riverslde) joins the cor-
poration Of Faulkton, thriving little
city Of about 1000 people. Now, if l
should employ every .able-bodied man
and boy that could use hoe, and set
them at work on our farm to destroy
these thistles, should have to hire them
by the year. and then they would fail.
We do no look upon. the Russian thistle
as some do. We consider it q benefit IN
stead Of tho great pest it has been consid-
cred by sheepmen generally. ltis one of
the very best forage plants known, and
certainly is.on of the best in the Dako.

else will grow then the thistle grows the

BEFORE the repeal of the Sherman law
it was claimed by most of the newspapers
favofing repeal that "good times would
at once prevail when the issuance of sill
yer money was curtailed. In North Da-
kota the most positive journal was the
Fargo Argus, which predicted that wheat
would at once advance when repeal be-
came an accomplished fact On the other
hand, that portion of the republican
press which was favorable to silver
claimed that the Sherman law was not a
factor in the prevailing financial strin-
gency, but that the business depression
was entirely due to the closing Of facto-
ries because their owners were unable to
safely purchase raw materials and con-
vert them into finished products while
they were uncertain as to whether they
would be compelled to dispose of their
output on high tariff OF low tariff ba-
sis. That the masses looked upon the un-
certainties regarding the future of the
tariff as the cause of the hard times may
be seen from the result of the recent cleo
tion in single state. The voters of
Ohio are noted for having high order of
intelligence. A year ago the result IN
the Buckeye state amounted practically
to drawn battle, one democratic elector
beng chosen and the republican electors
with this exception having tnajorities of
but few over thousand. The cam.
paign this year was fought entirely along
tariff. lines. on one side being the chief
apostle of protection and on the other a
leader who had placed the radical free.
trade paragraph in the national platform
of his party. Hundreds of public meet
ings were held. 1t was an educational
campaign from beginning to end, and
protection d was overwhelmingly indorscd.
Is there any question that the voters of
Ohio believed that the hard times were
caused solely by the fear of q low tariff OF
free trades
