and not only that, but tramples

perish.
The republicans have swept the
country like an avalanche. Teton
county, with republican majority
of about two hundred, sends
democrat to the state senate.
There was no need of it. The re-
publican ticket should have been
elected from top to bottom. Moth
ing of trivial nature could have
prevented it. If the convention
had not stopped to commit a
wrong; to ignore She wishes OF a
precinct; to seat fraudulent dele
cation, Teton county would have
elected straight republican ticket.
1t is bitter lesson and one which,

bered. 1t is lesson not only to
the republicans, but to other
parties as we'll. Our government
is founded upon the right of the
majority to rule; and no party .r
convention can afford TO disregard
their wishes. Those who do SO are
sure to be overtaken on election
day. History records no case
where any person or set of persons
in free government, ignored the
wishes of the people and trampled
upon their rights, that did not
meet with failure.

The democrats in this county had
no intent tion of putting a ticket in
the field. They had advertised 6
conference to be held in Chotear
on the day of the republican con

The seating of an unlawful dele

men who seated that delegation
were the best friends that the dem
ocrats had, and that move resulted
in three or four possibilities TO
the democratic ticket. The blame
therefore, must be placed where i
belongs. 1t is to be hoped that
in the future, the conventions will
stand steadfastly to the right, lie
the consequences be what the
may.

Political Integrity

There are certain laws of moral
ity which apply to politics which
cannot be violated with impunity.
No party can afford to do wrong.
Whenever it does so someone must
pay the penalty. The principles
of truth and justice are eterual
and cannot be tram2led down for
long. The republicslu party, rose

long sleep
The box was filled again, and Tommy
made himself a new nest, near the top

deep digging, laid in fresh supply OF
peanuts, and in few days went TO

that we saw nothing of him till the
following February, when he came
out, lean and hungry, making his usual
demand for peanuts; but was soon as
fat and lively as.ever.
We now happened to learn his early
history, and how he came to us. Three
or four young gophers had been
brought in from the country by a son
of the ianitor, who lived in the build
ing. and had all run away and been
caught by the cats. or had fallen down
the stairs, except tins little fellow ana
he had crept in behind a coal bin IN
the hall, and slept there all winter TIL
he came to us.
In this way we learned that gophers,
like bears and some other animals,
sleep. or hibernate as it is called,
during large part of the year, which
accounts for the fact that they are
seldom seen except in spring and early
summer; and SO they escape the sum
mer's heat and winters cold in their
underground nests,and come out full of
vigorous new life in spring.
You will be sorry to learn that poor
little Tommy came to sad end. There
was always a vessel Of water left for

water and was drowned, not being able
to climb up the slippery sides and get
out; and there we found him on Mon
day morning. That was sorrowful
day in our office, for Tommy was
great favorite. The little body was
tenderly wrapped in paper placed in
box. and taken home and buried in the
garden; and many tears were shed over

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
FALLING IN BESIDE THEM.


We are falling in beside them
As the years ruE swiftly on,
And the veteran ranks are thinner
As we count the comrades gone,
Standing by the newmade crosses
Planted in the fresh turned clay.
We are falling in beside them
For the last grand muster day
We are falling in beside them,
Not the solid lines OF blue.
Not the old, impatient soldiers
Who with loyal hearts and true
Stood beside us In the battle.
Breathed with US the cannon's breathf
Some have joined ehe sleeping army
In the bivouac OF death
We are falling ia beside them;
Every bright returning spring
There arc newer mounds 70 cover
With our fragrant offering
When we take our places by them
May the hearts that loved us best
Scatter flowers in fond remembrance,
Where we find the soldiers rest
Soon wen join the silent army
just a little march away.
Soon wen hear our marching orders
And, like soldiers true, obey
We will sleep until reveille,
Til we hear the bugle's sound,
Where our vents Of green are waiting
On earih's final camping ground.

You've had your share of frolic.

You've fshed in many brook, dears,

Now bac again to school, dears,
To study with will.
We all can work the better
For having holiday,
For playing ball and tennis.
And riding on the hay
The great old book OF Nature
Prepares us plain to see
How very well worth learning
All other books may be.
So back again to school, dears,
Vacation-time is done;
You've had a merry recess.
With lots and lots OF fun.
You've been like colts in pasture.
Unused TO bit and rein.
Now steady. seady, children.
It's time to march and train.
IT'S only ounces loiter
When sounds the SCHOOLGIRLS call,
So fall in ranks my boys and gir.s
And troop in one and all.
For school is very pleasant,
When, after lots OF fun,
Vacation days are over.
And real works begun.

Here was indeed an illustration of
true philanthropy. John Haggart,
North Dakota's popular state senator,
had plowed and planted and looked af-
ter about two and a half acres of po-
tatoes and beans, solely for the purpose
of furnishing a meal for aportion of that
immense army of unfortunates whom
the hard times, caused by democratic
misrule, had driven from home, and
compelled to walk from place to place,
to seek employment which they never
got. Would there we're many more

For I%rrigatlng Lands.

Farmers who have suffered the effects
of occasional drouths, and whose lands
would be productive as any on earth,
were they watered in a moderate degree.
either naturally or %artifcially, will be
interested in the work that is now going
on, in regard to irrigation. The irrigation
congress is now discussing the question
OF government aid in the reclaiming of
lands which are semi-arid, and if this
could be accomplished, thousands of
acres of land in North Dakota could be
made more productive,and homes provid-
ed for thousands of settlers. But congress
having coded these lands to the states
in which they are located, may not see
the wisdom of further aidingin their de-
velopment. And in this case, the ques.
ton of rendering them fertile and pro-
ductive will devolve upon the states
alone.
The question of irrigation has not
been sufficiently regarded by farmers,
and in fact all residents Of the west, who
have experienced the disagreeable fea.
lures of crop failure. In some parts
Of the state of North Dakota
at present, private parties haveg gone into
the cultivation Of small tracts OF land,
with the aid Of windmill or artesian
water supply. To one who has not test
ed this means of!supplying water to field
of moderate size, the results are almost
Incredible. The irrigation is not CON
Quoted on a extensive scale, as in total
~ arid districts. Enough water to re-
lieve the %parching effect Of continued
hot weather, is distributed over q field,
after shutdown, and is followed by a yield
which surposes expectation.
II a test could be made in this county,
either by windmill supply Or by a sup
ply from a reservoir to be constructed
on the bank Of some one Of the streams
which flow through it, the result might
simplify the farming question. It
wouldn't be bad idea forthe farmers
Of the county, OF Of many Of the counties
OF the state, to hold an if
rigatlon congress Of their own,
and discuss ways and means. In
