FLAX is fax this year, and the
farmer whose seeding was so far
delayed that he was obliged to sow
more flax than he had expected to
do has every reason to feel graft
fed with the result Of what he may
have bssa Inclined to look upon as
q very unfortunate circumstance.
Flax is now worth about 95 cents
per bushel in Langdon, and the
crop, while not particularly
heavy one, il still very good.
The acresgs of fax sown in Cava-
lier county this year far eclipaes
that of any preceding year. Flax
~ is we'll known, can be safely
sown much later than wheat, bar-
Leg or any other grain crop. Last
spxing, owing to the continued
cold, wet weather, seeding was de-
laysd much beyond the usual peri
3D. It is too early to make much
ofAh estimate of the fax yield. It
Is said to be below that of 1898,
but still to be good. Several far
msrs who have spoken Of their
own crops expect yields Of l5to 20
bnehels Per acre. At this rate fax

WIZ II DEMOCR.AT9

WHY II DEMOCRAT?
The next time when asked why |
you are a democrat give as one
reason, that it is because the dem
ocrats are the only party that ever
ran this government for any con-
siderable length of time without
running it against a stump. You
may say, further, that while the
republicans seem never satisfied
unless they are selling out or Civ
ing away the rights and interests
of the people as whole to certain
favored classes of monopolists, tho
democrats by their nature and
traditions, endeavor to promote
the welfare of all, with justice to
all and special fsvors to none.
The democrats never built up a
monopoly tariff machine to make
manufacturing bosses of the east
ern states rich while keeping the
agricultural states of the west
poor. The democrats believe in
preserving the inesti1nable boon
of local self-government, which we
inherited from the generation that
fought the revolutionary war and
founded the United States, while
the republicans are constantly en-
croaching upon the rights of the
states, and by extending the juris-
diction of the federal courts grad
ually celebrating state lines and
bringing the citizen in his daily
affairs more and more under the
immediate jurisdiction of the dis
tant government at Washington.
Democrats believe in enforcing
laws made in the interests of the
people, while the republicans habit
ually treat all such laws with
contempt. The recent refusal Of
Griggs, McKinley's attorney gen
eral, to make any attempt to en-
force the antitrust law against
the greedy and lawless comb;n-
atoms that have taken the bust.
ness of the country by the throat
since Mckinley was inaugurated,
is good illustration of the spirit
|of republicanism in this matter.
The democrats have been expan-
sionists whenever there was any
good country at our doors that
our people could do better with
than the people they found in pos
session. Since American indie
pendence was won the democratic
party has annexed all tho country
between the Mississippi and the
Rocky Mountains; it has annexed
Florida, and by Jeferson's Louis
lana purchase given the west con-
troll of the Mississippi river and
an open waterway to the sen; it
has annexed Texas and California
and Oregon, aad all the country
between the Rocky Mountains and
the Pacific south of British Amer
lea. The republican idea OF ex-
pansion, on the other hand, is to
go off into frost-bitten Alaska,
the sun-smitten Philippines and
the leperous Hawaiian Islands.
In all these God-forsaken regions,
il our people attempt to occupy
the land they are frozen to death
or paralyzed by heat, malaria or
loathsome disease. In short, you
are democrat because the dem
ocracy is the party of the people,
while the republicans are the party
of consclenceless rogues, who de-
sire political power mainly in
order that they may use it to rob
the people for their own gain.

Now, the pulpit, if any power can

There was time when the churchs
did nothing toward foreign missions,
and, of course there were no missions.
The pulpit changed all that. The
clergy created the missionary societies,
and preached the Christian duty of their

is familiar with the story OF the cross
And the victims Of intemperance are

Surely, if charity begins at home.

impossible TO support this cause with

No regular income adequate to so
great work can be maintained which
IS notpaid from sense Of duty, and I'M
less there can an organized body of
men who shall continually preach the
truth as it is in the gospel of temper
ance as an integral part of the Gospel
of Christ, this sense of duty will never
be established in their minds, the
money will never be collected, and the
whole business mnst either fail utterly
