THE ROADS or THE COUNTY.

We are glad to see that the peo-
pie of Cavalier county have begun
to realize the necessity of building
permanent roads. At the time
the county was new everybody
picked out his own road-drove
across his neighbors fields or went
through the slough as he saw fit.
In the mean time thousands of
dollars in money and labor were
thrown away under the pretence
of working out road tax but no
permanent roads we're built. The
towns of Alma, Osnabrock, Loan
and Langdon have purchased New
Era graders to put up permanent
roads. These machines have been
in use in the Valley during the
past seventeen years and have ad-
ded hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars to the value of the lands by
draining them and putting up per-
manent grades. When these
grades are built the expense practi.
cally ceases as they are kept III
repair at a nominal expense. The
expense Of building road with
this machine is only about one-ffth
of what it costs to build it by the
old method of plows and scrapers.
A farmer might just as we'll take a
cradle to harvest his crop with as
to build roads with plows and
scrapers. 1t is too late in the
century to stick to Anticipated me-
thods. This is the age Of the labor
saving machinery and the Ameri-
cans are leading the procession.
the cost of modern machinery is
nominal when the work it accom-
plishes is taken into consideration.
Under the present law, where
townships pay in five annual in
stallments, it costs the quarter
section farmers from one to two
dollars year to own a New Era
grader, and if they want road
machine it costs them less than
thirty-fve cents. The average
farmer would spend it for cigars
and think nothing of it. Now
that the good work is begun
we hope TO see it continued until
Cavalier county has as good roads
as Cass or Trail.

IT seems that one of the ways
IN which our new possessions are
to be Americanized is to allow
them to be overhowed by Chinese
coolies. The order issued several
weeks ago, extending the laws and
regulations governing immigra-
ton to the United States to all
territory under military control,
was taken to mean that Chinese
coolies would be excluded from
Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philip
pines. But that didn't suit those
who are interested in filling those
islands with Chinese and they had
pull enough with the powers that
be to get an official order issued
by the war department saying
that the extension order issued
did not include that including the
Chinese.

1TOJNEN IN POLITICS.

Miss Emma Bates, the first
woman ever placed on the repub-
lican state ticket in North Dakota,
and the second woman in North
Dakota to hold state office, has
deserted the wild and woolly west
and now claims Gotham as her
home. For years she was one of
the faculty Of the Valley City nor
NAL school. At the convention at
which Gov. Shortridge was nom
mated by the f11sionists, she was
brought into the hall and from the
stage asked to make a speech
stating her views on the political
questions of the day. Her politics
were unsatisfactory and Mrs.
Eisenhuth was nominated and
elected. Two years later the re-
publicans concluded the only way
to defeat the woman democrat
was with a woman republican; and
as Miss Bates refused to subscribe
to fusion doctrines she IVES sup
posed to be p good republican.
She was nominated and defeated
Mrs. Eisenhuth, who tried for a
second term. One term Of Miss
Bates seems to have satisfied the
republicans and at the next con-
vention she was dropped. Her
race by petition did not affect the
results, and she was very much
disappointed and embittered. For
the last two years she has been
engaged in the life insurance
business and recently her health
became so poor that she was COM
PEELED to give up the work and has
left Fargo for the east.

DELINQUENT personal property
tax payers are now receiving their
last notice asking for payment of
same. There is already a seven
per cent, penalty attached in cases
where payment is made before
June LIST and failure to comply
with this notice will see another
penalty of one per cent. added and
collectors will have to be sent out,
for the reason that the report Of
the sheriff to the county treasurer
must be made by the first day Of
July. This latter course will
cause heavy additional costs for
mileage and making levies, and as
the tax is already a heavy one,

make prompt payment, even if
they have to borrow the money to

OUR VOLUNTEERS.

The western volunteer soldiery
of our nation is winning by far
the largest share of honors for
brave deeds performed on the bat
tie fields of the far east while
fighting under the folds of Old
Glory. In all the proud history
of the American volunteer. dating
back to colonial days, better service
than that of the western states in
tho present war has not been
rendered. They have made Amer
leans proud of American blood.
They have amazed Europeans by
their demonstration of the truth
that the United States does not
need a big standing army with
such volunteer ability and pluck
available on short notice. 1t is to
the credit of these men that such
service has been rendered in q
war lacking the appeal contained
in the conflict with Spain, for
which they volunteered. The
magnetism of American principle,
of fight for freedom was lacking.
But the American flag had been
fired upon and our boys responded
to the call to rally around Old
Glory in a foreign field, where
honors Of decoration, promotion,
or retention in the regular service
are now being received by the
officers and men of our western
volunteer regiments for the vic
tories they have so sturdily won.
The near approach of their return
home is turning the attention Of
the whole people to big outburst
of patriotic feeling as soon as the
nations universal holiday on July
4th is reached.

The democratic papers through
out the state, many of them, stood
loyal to the cause Of democracy
and have received very little re-
compense for it. During the last
campaign, the state central COM
mlttee contributed more to a
lantern show to 60 out among the
school houses for two weeks than
it did to all the papers in the state
except the Plaindealer. The cause
of democracy is bound to suffer if
the leaders neglect to support the
papers. We have already lost one
good paper as the result of neglect
on the part of the managers and
there is liable to be more go the
same way. The Leader is glad to
know that there is move on foot
