VERSUS FARMERS.

Numerous complaints are being
made by farmers and teamsters
against bicyclists, to the effect
that the latter claim the right Iof
way on the public highways.
The feeling between these two
classes Of citizens is each week
becoming stronger and unless
the matter is satisfactorily adjudi-
Gated in the near future all open
conflict may be the result.
To avoid any possible trouble
we would suggest that the wheel
man be given the road under all
circumstances. These gentle
men go riding, as a general thing,
for pleasure, and their welfare
and convenience should at all
times be considered paramount
to that of the farmer who is
merely going or coming from
town on business; and business,
no matter how important, should
never take precedence when it
will .discommode the bicyclist.
Should farmer, driving a team
heavily loaded with grain or
other farm produce, chance to
meet bicyclist, it will be his
duty to turn to the right and
allow the man on the wheel the
entire roadway. Should his
team scare, the road should be
watched carefully for an ap-
preaching wheelman that stiff
cient time may be afforded in
which to unhitch from the We
hicle and drive the team to
ne1ghboring barn. Of course
this can not always be done, but
what matters it if a team runs
away now and then so long as
the comfort and convenience of
his "Imperia" highness is not
interfered with. Farmers and
tearnsters should remember these
suggestions and always give the
wheelman the right of way,
otherwise some offensive driver
may get the everlasting stufin
mauled out of him by a cyclist
who has been compelled to dis
mount in the dusty road because
of the drivers noncompliance
with the above rules.

| There is more or less anxiety
in congress because of the war
!between Japan and China. This
is not because of any special in
terest taken in the war as it now
| is, but because of the fear that the
United States may be in some
manner dragged into it by the
diplomatic blundering of Secre-
tary Gresham, who appears to
have, in place of the calm judg-
ment that should dominate Sec
retary of state, an over supply of
the very undesirable faculty
which makes him put his foot
in it" every time he makes a
move in connection with the for
eign relations of the government.
Representative Stone of Penn
sylvania, is not discouraged by
the opposition of the ad1ninistra-
ton to his, bill requiring all inn
migrants to be examined and
Terrified by U. S. consuls, which
recently passed the house, and
which the senate committee on
immigration has tried to kill by
reporting a substitute therefore
which might easily have been
added to the bill as an amend
1nent. He says: 81 can see no
ground for objections except
from steamship companies that
are engaged in the unholy traffic
of transporting to this country
terminals and paupers. l had
hoped that this measure would
be considered from a patriotic
standpoint alone and would not
be made party measure, as the
O1,1,OSitiOn from the adrniuiStra-
ton gives me cause to fear it will
be. The people, without regard
to party, demand a further re-
striction upon immigration; it
will come, if not now, in the
near future. For one, I propose
to keep this standard to the front
as long as l remain in con-
gress, and I believe all patriotic
people will respond. The OBJ
lection that inspection by consuls
will interfere with the present
laws is ridiculous. The measure
will save expense to the govern
ment by utilizing these consuls
instead of adding expense. This
objection seems to be a mere pre-
text and will not weigh with
men of intelligence.

PRAYING FOR RAIN.

In the vicinity of Northfeld,
Minnesota, where there has been
a protracted drouth, all the reli-
gious bodies, both Catholic and
Protestants, have been testing
the efficacy of prayer in a time
of calamity by uniting their sup
plications for rain, but up to the
present time there has been no
response. Dispatches say these
devout rainnakers are becoming
discouraged and they have de-
cided to quit praying. They ask
why their prayers have not been
answered, and lose faith in the
efficacy of the Being that can
create worlds, because the man.
ner of His divine efficiency lies
far above them. These very
people who join in an united ap-
peal to their God to answer a
prayer to satisfy what may be a
selfish desire for gain, would, i'll
all probability, forget to thank
Him if it were granted, Can
people hope that a Deity, offended
by petitions inspired by selfish
ness, will grant these petitions?
Atheists and skeptics point to the
failure of these religious bodies
as an evidence that there is no
God. But the faith of all hon
est believers is not shaken by the
disappointment Of these people.
While they believe faithfully i'll
God, yet believe He performs
His wonders through the opera
ton of natural laws. They not
only have faith in Gods power
and willingness to answer
prayers, but also have that
higher confidence in His wisdom
as to the granting of them.
They do not deny Gods power
to perform miracles, but He will
choose His own time and place
for the performance. While the
Almighty has the welfare of His
people at heart He does not cause
nature to transgress her own laws
by granting special dispensa-
tons.

A PAPER published near For
man, N D., brings out roman
tic incident in connection with
nomination by the republican
state convention of Miss Emma
F. Bates of Valley City, to be
state superintendent of schools.
Miss Bates had charge of her
canvass of the. nomination, and
found considerable opposition in
John Devine and Professor J. H.
Holland. She was able to side
track the latter by making her
self solid with the Young Mems
Republican League. She then
entered into negotiations with
Devine, first demanding uncon-
ditional surrender. This he re-
sisted. After further negotia-
ton, it is said, he agreed to pull
off the track, provided, if she
were elected state superintendent
she would make him her deputy
and marry him into the bargain.
After some deliberation she
agreed to do this, provided he
would stump the state for her.
AS he is a powerful speaker with
abundant wit and repartee, Miss
Bates is conceded to have made
the shrewdest political deal yet
known.
