TO-DAY being the anniversary
of George Washington's birthday,
gives the people of our country a
fitting opportunity for grateful
tribute to one whom the greatest
homage is due. We have but to
review the scenes of Valley Forge
to marvel at this manner of man,
who could instill courage where
hope had fed, who could light the
darkness with his smile, and give
cheer and comfort where despair,
poverty and hunger seemed to
cover ell. No greater victory has
ever been won by statesman or
warrior. The name Of George
Washington is synonymous with
all that is best and truest in man
It can truly be said that he has
earned all the eulogisms that have
been from year to year accorded
his memory

ON IMPERIALISM.

There are none so blind and
deaf as those who will not see nor
hear. Mr.. Bryan is being mis-
quoted SO much that it is we'll to
repeat what he has said on every
subject lest there may be some so
weak as to believe that a lie we'll
stuck to is as good as the truth.
Mr.. Bryan believes in Expansion"
but he does not believe in an ex-
pansion that leads to Imperialism.
Here is what he says:
II have for one year been dis
cussing imperialism, and l have
tried to distinguish between such
an extension or the nations limits
as would not change the character
of the government and all expan-
sion which converts a homo
generous republic into hetro-
geneous empire. When the an
nexation of any given territory is
under consideration, the question
is, first, whether the people want
to come in, and, second, whether
the people are capable of sharing
in the government and destiny of
this nation.
II believe that all people are
capable of governing themselves,
and that the Filipinos should be
allowed to govern themselves, but
1 do not think that they are
sufficiently advanced to share with
us in the government of the nation.
IF the Philippine islands are an
nexed, the people there must
either be citizens or subjects.
I am not willing to admit them as
citizens, and do not believe that a
republic can have subjects; there
fore I want this nation to give
them independence and then pro.
tect them from outside interfer.
ence.
"Each proposed annexation
must be considered upon it's own
merits, but in considering these
merits the condition of the people
should have more weight than
geographical position or commerc.
ial advantage"

LOW PRICE OF WHEAT.

Certain we'll known men, and
men enjoying the benefits of public
Office are endeavoring to explain
to the wheat farmer the cause OF
the low price of wheat. Over.
production is stated to be it, yet
greater yields are urged on his
part by more careful cultivation.
In India there are millions of
people short of bread again, and
it is a we'll known fact that many
thousands in Europe eat coarser
breads because they are unable to
buy wheat flower, which they
prefer. Is this over production
The reason now advanced has
been repeated over and over again;
but the worlds wheat supply,
even with the present consump.
ton, seems running on a narrow
margin between production and
consumption just the same. A
few million bushels short, as when
Letter ran his famous corner
enabled one man to raise the price
of wheat for the world to over
three times what it had been
before.
When wheat went up then, the
political leaders and the small fry
party newspapers said it was due
to the election of McKinley-he
having come into power shortly
before. Many people believed it
and no doubt smiled to themselves
at the possession of such knowl-
edge. Now, how is it? Wheat is

duced by the Larimore Pioneer;
there is also but little to be recon-
-mended in the adoption Of the
phonetic system of spelling BY the
Griggs Go. Sentinel. Such oddi-
ties attract passing attention but
to regard them as improvements
is questionable. A country weekly
that desires to be up-to.date can
not do better than adopt in part
the style and make up of one or
other of our leading dailies.

If you would retain the fertility
of the soil you must have stock.
You must make the COW and the
creamery help more than just to
raise the calf. I am glad of the
progress shown in the feeding of
fat stock and the showing in the
northwest within the past few
years is far greater than you would
think. We carry now from our
lines through the state $4,000
more cattle to market from points
east of Minot than we do from all
other parts of our lines between
there and the Pacific coast. The
number of hogs carried have been
trebled. Hogs are a good crop
and can be grown every year.
We should pay more attention to
to them and have the young come
in the spring. Fall pigs are not
profitable as they cost too much
to keep growing through the
winter. Our lands have become
enhanced in value and I expect to
see the valley lands sell from $40
to $50 per acre, and they are worth
it. EXTRACT from J. J. Hills

low, but no one is heard saying
thatthe election Of the president
is responsible for it; yet if his
election, as once claimed, was one
cause of high prices, why are low
prices permitted now before his
reelection?
Are the farmers only being

ing hopes placed before them
about new markets and better
prospects for permanent good
wheat prices, for another purpose
only, and with little idea of any
realization? Is the explanation
of low being made to make 1t

A SUGGESTIVE DIVIDEND.

The result of the recent adj
vances in the price Of kerosene
are shown in the dividend of 30
per cent declared last week at the
quarterly meeting of the Standard
Oil Co., and at the same time
gives slight insight into what
this and similar monopolies are
costing the people. In 1899 this
trust paid dividend of only 80
per cent, but the dividend of the
present year, judging from that
declared at the recently held
quarterly meeting, will he ire
mendous increase over that of last
year, even though it does not
reach the 80 per cent, which the
quarterly rate promises.
It is only short time ago that
the president of the Standard Oil
Co.. Mr.. Rockefeller, excused the
existance of trusts, and especially
of his trust by the claim that such
organizations enable producers
and manufacturers to furnish the
public with a better article at a
much cheaper price than under
the old system of small independ-
ent concerns.
There was some cogency in this
claim when kerosene was selling
at five and six cents gallon to
the consumer, but hardly so much
when the consumer is obliged to
pay Is cents. There has been no
increase in the cost of taking the
crude oil out of the ground, or OF
refining and transporting it, which
justifes such an advance in the
price of the refined product, and
we are therefore forced to the con.
clusion that the advance in the
retail price has been dictated by
sheer greed and by the fact that
the Standard Oil company has the
power to enforce it.
The Standard Oils 20 per cent
dividend emphasizes a fact that g
combination that has succeeded in
securing practical monopoly of 6
product has the public at its
mercy. 1t may be a benefcient
despot when itsupplies consumers
with it's product at a very low
price, but despot none the less
and it may use Its power at any
moment to demand and enforce
an extortionate price. The price
of kerosene, as all dealers anc
consumers know, is not governed
by competition, but is fixed by {
central agency, and all the dealers
and handlers are Obliged to charge
a fixed price or be barred out O
the trade.
There ought to be some way O
curbing such monopolles as thu
Standard Oil. Under the inter
state commerce law maximum
rates of freight to be charged by
the interstate railroads are fixed
and the public protected agains
extortion. Would it not be JUS
as legitimate for the general gov.
eminent to protect the publ,
against extortion in charges fol
products as in charges for service
