Editor Nye of the Valley City Times.
Record observes that the counties OF
Pembina, Walsh, Grand Forks, Trail
Cass and Richland gave the republi-
"a candidate for governor a majority
of only 1917 two years ago. Governor
Fancher's majority, taking the state
as a whole, was 1872, and says this
would indicate that all the republican
votes were not punched in the Rec
River valley, as some of the papers as.

Pat Lyons has a caustic communica-
ton in the Forum in which he takes
occasion to refer to the fact that the
Winship headquarters at the Hotel Da-
cotah were we'll supplied with booze
bath tub half full of broken ice and
unlimited supply of liquors. Those
who know Pat will readily understand
how the Kidder county gentleman
would appreciate the companionship OF
good fellows in headquarters thus

treshments but it seems a little mean
that Pat should say anything about ii

JUDGE MORGAN.

The Fargo Forum pays tribute to
Judge Morgan, the republican nominee
for the supreme court. and by way of
biography it says:
D. Z. Morgan was born in Coldport,
now Pomeroy. in Meigs county, Ohio,
about fifty years ago.. He moved with
his parents to Wisconsin in 1854, where
he resided until 1881, being admitted
to the bar in 1880. Leaving Wiscon-
sin he located in Grand Forks. where
he engaged in the practice of his pro-
fession, being associated with Arthur
and Rolla Moves. Arthur Noyes is
now U. S. district judge of Alaska, and
recently passed through Devils Lake
en- route to his new field of labor.
Rolla Noyes is county attorney of Bar
aboo, Wisconsin. In 1888 the judge
removed from Grand Forks to Devils
Lake and formed a partnership with
Hon. John F. MCGEE, now one of the
district judges of Hennepin county,
MINI. Judge Morgan held the Office
of county attorney Of Ramsey county,
North Dakota, for several years and
was always noted for MS honesty and
reliability, his opinions on legal mat
ters being sought for and considered
as the law upon the subjects embraced
therein. In 1889 he was nominated
by his party for the position of Judge
of the Second judicial district, and was
elected by a handsome majority, the
late James F. O'Brien being his oppon-
ent. The judge has held this posi-
ton ever since, having been repeatedly
elected without opposition as the peo-
pie OF his district recognized in him
the qualities requisite for the position
which he has so ably filled, and desired
to keep him there, and while we all
with one accord extend to him hearty
congratulations upon his elevation to
the highest judicial position in the gift
of the people, his semi-annual visits to
the various county seats will be very
much missed. The judges practice
is to ignore technicalities, and give liti-
giants a fair and impartial trial upon
the merits, and this course has tended

Writing of the crop

in North Dakota. Writing of the croE
condition he says:
Compare North Dakota with the
great state of Kansas, that is now
grooming under immense crops OF
wheat and corn. They of Kansas have
frequently started out with the prom
Use to feed the world, and wound up by
the world having to feed Kansas. Dur
ing the twenty-five years of North Da-
kota's prosperity count the number OF
crop failures Kansas has had. Our
farmers have not cause to be discour-
aged, on the contrary they may at the
end of next season look back upon this
dry year as a blessing, by reason OF
being forced to do what they should
have more frequently done from year
to year, let them at once pillow under
all crops that are not worth saving,
and with a favorable season next year
the net results from the one good crop
will likely be mor than would have
been received from the two moderate
crops. We all know there is more
profit in n good crop than in two
moderate ones. We farmers are con-
stantly tempted to put too many acres
in crops, and to do u II work carelessly.
We will fine it more profitable to plant
a less acreage and to have the land we
do plant in better condition to receive
the seed. The writer last season, as
an experiment., summer fallowed a
thousand acres by blowing it right
after the seeding of the other fields
were finished, narrowed it soon after,
and about every two or three weeks
during the summer kept up the cult
walton by discing or dragging; before
seeding this spring gave it another
good discing; this land now promises
a crop of from twelve to fifteen bushels
OF wheat, while on lands adjoining,
handled in the usual way, the crop is
totally dried up and is being plowed

cultivation and a rotation of crops as
often as possible. If we should 20
back to any of the old states and farm
as carelessly as we do here we would
soon starve or go to the poo house.
Several from this vicinity have gone
back to their old home to farm where
they could live easy" they have in
varlably returned to North Dakota,
thoroughly cured, and are now most
enthusiastic in their praises of this
country. y This dry season doesn't
scare them a little bit" We have
one of the best farming countries in
the world, and if we will give our lands
anything like the cultivation and care
that is given lands in the middle and
western states we may be sure of a
bountiful harvest every year."

LOGG EXPLAINS.
The jamestown Alert, speaking of
the success of the fusion movement at
Grand Forks, says:
The little faction that tried to NOM
mate a straight democratic ticket, and
cut loose from the Independents, was
from Pembina and Grand Forks coun-
ties, assisted by Fred Mclean from
Cavalier county and Ed Cole of Fargo.
Brinjolfson spoke for Grand Forks
county. Every year for six years it
was stated, this same faction had at
tempted to turn aside the help of the
independent voters in the state, who
had more than an equal right from
point of numbers, to demand an equal
share in the representation OF the state
and county tickets. Each time the at
tempt to prevent fusion had failed and
the attempt would fail again. The
majority of democrats and independ-
ents agree on the main issues and in
support of Bryan and the principles of
the Chicago and Kansas City platform.
The anti-fusionists tried another
plan to head o. fusion by trying to
get a resubmission plank put in the
platform. This woul.. cost the ticket
a great many votes and was also over
welmingly defeated in the committee

about prohibition, and the laws on
the statute book were to be enforced

could do so.

publican totals with republican major
tiles. 1t is true the Red River coun-

but unfortunately so impartial as to re-

narrow margin in that section. The
republican majorities come from the
region west of the Red River counties.

HOW THE GOVERNMENT IS MIS-
REPRESENTED.

REPRESENTED.
For a long time certain "anti-imper-
ialists" have been charging that at the
beginning of our war with Spain the
president pledged the nation not to ac-
quire any territory as a result of the
war, saying that to do so would be
criminal aggression" OF course they
know. and have known all along, that
the president never did anything of the
kind, and that their statement that he
did is a violent distortion of a state
ment of utterly different meaning, says
the New York Tribune.
Now comes James H. Lewis, former
ly a representative in congress from
Washington and a candidate for the
vice presidential nomination at the re-
cent democratic national convention,
and declares that the president is re-
sponsible for the attacks upon Ameri-
cans in China, because of 1.-The an
nouncement by ,n.s government,
through its different spokesman, that
"the United States intended to enter
into the division of China, participant
ing in it's distribution" Of course Mr..
Lewis knows perfectly we'll that the
exact contrary is the truth and that
all the announcements" made by this
government on the subject have been
to the effect that it did not intend to
join in the partition of China, nor to
participate in its distribution, but that,
on the contrary, it proposed to stand
as strongly as possible for the main
tenance of the integrity of the Chinese
empire.
Mr.. White, our ambassador at Ber-
lin, speaking in the German capital on
independence day, said that there were
laid upon his table every day piles of
cuttings from the European continent
tai press which, taking up calumnies
manufactured for the home market,
dish them up for the market abroad"
The evil of which he complained is a
monstrOus one, as che cases we have
cited demonstrate. In the present
critical state of affairs in China, while
American soldiers are losing their lives
to save American men, women and
children from worse than death, what
will be the effect of publishing in
China, on the authority of a great Am
erican mandarin, who has been a mem
ber Of congress and a candidate for
vice president, that the American gov
eminent means to enter into the par
tition and s%poilation OF China? The
Chinese populace will not understand
that it is merely a "calumny manu-
featured for u home markets." They
may believe it to be true, just as the
Filipinos believed it to be true that, as
the "anti-imperialists" told them, il
they would mold out until after election
they would be allowed to have theil
own way.
What a patriotic thing it is to EN-
barrass and cripple the hands of the
government ABROAD by inventing anC
circulating such calumnies %concernine
it!

THE VALLEYS SHARE.

The Cakes Republican says: Civ
ing the Red River valley, with "a pei
cent of the delegates, only II per cent
of the state ticket is not a fair deal
considered from this point alone, but
we are not willing to admit the repub.
lican party of North Dakota has made
a mistake in the selection of the ticket
this time.
Let us go bacA into the history OF
the state and see what place that val
ley has occupied on the various repub-
lican tickets, and judge from that
whether that section Aas been fairly
treated. We find they have been
given the nomination for governor
four times out of the seven, including
this year; lieutenant governor, one;
secretary of state, two; state auditor,
one; state treasurer, four; superintend-
ent, three; commissioner of insurance,
one: railroad commissioners, two; be-
sides congressman. In addition that
valley has had several good federal ap-
pointments, nearly every state conven-
ton, national committeeman, repub-
llcan headquarters, and o ner political
favors in the past. 1t is true they are
cut rather short this time, but there
are other times coming, and there is
no disposition on the part OF Lie repub-
licans of the state to continue the
treatment administered at this time.
Politically the republicans of the
state have treated the Red River val
ley literally in the past, and the val
ley has done good work for the ticket.
There is no occasion for any feeling
because they are below the average on
this one. ticket. They have the past
to be grateful for, the future to hope
for, and will support the ticket like
loyal republicans of North Dakota.
