that our own loved Hope the most gift

inspiration OF prophecy with the inspi-
ration of poetry when he wrote:--
In the future some historian shall
come forth both strong and wise.
| With love for the Republic and the
truth before his eyes;
He will show the subtle causes of the
war between the States.
He will go back in his studies far be-
You'd our modern dates.
He will trace out hostile ideas, as the
miner does the lodes:
He will show the different habits. born
OF different social codes
He will show the Union riven, and the
picture will deplore;
He will show it reunited and made
stronger than before.
He will hold the Scales of Justice: he
fill measure praise and blame.
And the South will stand the verdict
and will stand it without shame"

NEITHER WHOLLY WRONG.

AS has been said by another. the war
involved no question of moral right or
wrong-it was simply Il question OF the
true spirit and intention of the Consti-
tutional contract and the meaning of
the Union" In supporting their re-
spective theories. the people OF the
South and OF the North were each
honest. earnest and patriotic. Neither
was absolutely right; neither wholly
wrong. Both were right. in that they
were sincere. This IS the final analy-
sis-the conclusion of the whole matter.
To this result, the annual observance
of Memorial Day has contributed large
ly. These services. held from year TO
year. in all parts of the South. have
done much to create an enlightened
public sentiment; the great questions
that were at issue have been Intelligent
ly and fearlessly discussed and the real
facts have thus been impressed upon
the heads, the hearts and the conscience
of the people.
In this way. the youths of the coun
try have been educated and made to
understand the truth and with the
truth fully understood. we of the South
are both justified and satisfied.
To conclude. the Poet Priest. whose
monument will to-day be unveiled by
admiring hands in your cemetery. has
beautifully expressed. in glowing verse,

SCRUTCHIN'S CANDIDACY.

il In commenting on the candidacy 8
Chas. w. Scrutchin for nomination
as member of the state Legislature
from this district, the Bagley indie
pendent and Shevlin Graphic praise
his many good qualities as follows:
The name OF Hon. Chas. w. Scrut.
chin, one Of Bemid il IS most prominent
and brightest attorneys has been men
| toned as candidate for the state leg
islature on the Republican ticket.
Mr.. Scrntchin says in last weeks issue
of the Pioneer that he hoped that the
next representative from this district,
whoever it may be will see that we
have thes'wants of the district proper
ly attended to. We know Of no bet
ter man, either in character or ed
ucation who more fully understands
or desires the welfare of the district
taken proper care Of than Mr.. Scrut-
chin and we heartily endorse him for
the nomination which will beyond a
doubt meet with general satisfaction
throughout the entire district. His
nomination means his election. Bag
ley independent B
Mr.. Scrutchin is one Of the bright
est attorneys In this county, and we
feel that there is no re ason why he
should not receive favorable consid-
GRAFTON by the voters throughout the
district. The fact that he is free from
corporation employment should weld
the voters more closely to him. Mr..
Scrutchin is a man who will fearlessly
look after the districts interest lat
large for his ideas are broad and the
the interest of no one man or corpora
tion will be able to move him to right
or left against the general good and
welfare OF the people ct large. This
is a new and growing country and Mr..
Scrutchin has the ability to do some
thing for US if he is nomin ated and
elected. He has made this county his
home. He is noted for the pride he
takes in the Advancement and devel-
opment of his town, county and dis
trict. If the voters will but come to
the front and elect him to the legisla-
ture, there is not the least doubt but
what he will take special interest in
the welfare of the people he has the
honor to represent. Shevlin Graphic.
Now, as the Red Lake county pa
pers assure us that there will be no
candidate from that county, Mr..
Scrutchin's chances are certainly
bright. One thing is certain, should he
secure the nomination, we would see
J hot campaign throughout the dis
riot. AS a eampaigner, Mr.. Scrutch-
n would be terror to a democratic
opponent.

CHANCE FOR BELTRAMI co.
FARMERS.

Beltrami county is bound by the
laws Of adaptability to become a
stock raising center. With its natur-
al meadows and soil adapted for fod-
der, with its abundance of pure water,
timber and other necessities for stock
pastures, the county is rich in posi-
bilities. The farmers who have given
attention to this industry have faith
in the future and satisfaction in the
present. But the high price of stock
for the past two years has handicap
ped many of our settlers. Cattle have
I been too high to import and the
temptation has been to sell what little
stock the settlers had. With milch
cows selling at $50 per head, the aver
age farmer cannot go into the dairy
ing business very heavily.
The coming fall and winter pro-
misses a heavy fall in the stock mar
ket. The scarcity of hay and feed in
Wisconsin,, Minnesota and other
states will forcemany farmers to sell
most of their cattle to avoid buying
fodder. While in the dairy belt in
Wisconsin recently We editor met
several heavy stock owners who were
already buying hay-the first time in
their experience and making arr
rangements to dispose of part of
their mixers.
There we'll be a shortage of food
stuff in this county, but not in pro-
portion to that of older and dryer
sections. Every farmer should gather
every spare blade of grass for winter,
and when the price of cattle goes
down, be ready to buy as many head
as they can feed. Unless we miss our
guess, it will be a good investment
for some buyer to go into the stock
counties and ship up a few car loads

partisanship to support him. Possible
1t would IF he had not been reversed
in nearly fifty per cent OF the appeals
taken from his rulings in this district
to the supreme court. There can be no
non-partisanship in standing behind a
candidate who has been obliged to
submit to the correcting hand Of the
superior court in larger proportion
of cases than any other Judge in the
state who has been on the bench for
the last twelve years.

They are men who will go into the
campaign to win. They will organize

it probably has never been covered be-

ing against their selection. Also there
is sort OF feeling that after all the hue
and cry of two and four years ago
about ring rule In Minnesota, and the
turning down OF the ring in the last
named year, the very men who were
supposed to be identified with it are.
now back in absolute power and con-
troll. It is true that some of the men
are back, but it dosn't necessarily fol-
low that Minnesota is again to have
an obnoxious ring. The other crowd
didn't seem to run things to the salts
faction Of the party. There has been
a demand for good practical polite
ians to take the helm again. They
have done SO. If good management
can give complete republican victory
in Minnesota this year it is certainly
due. Minneapolis Journal.
