The Democratic District Meetings
have been largely attended and the
party is more closely united than
we have ever seen it. We believe
that democratic victory in St Ma
rvs is assured.
The mntterings of dissatisfaction
IN the st. Mary's Democratic ranks
have given place to firm purpose
ot putting up winning fight and
our party is. we believe, united as il
has not been for years.
Everything will depend on how
YOU mark your ballot this year and
even the most intelligent men are Ii
able to make mistakes that may cause
their ballots To be thrown out. Study
the ballot carefully before you go TO
the polls.
The campaign is nearing its end
and the candidates of both parties
are going night and day. The life
OF the politician is not an easy one,
nor always pleasant, but those who
engage actively in politics appear
To like the excitement Of il.

The sug : beet industry viii
cut q large figure in the state
this year, several plants having
been already contracted for.
Kenmare, Jamestown, Cakes and
other places are going into this
industry and several thousand
acres Of sugar beets will be
grown this season. North Da-
kota will soon be known as o
place where almost anything will
grow besides our famous hard
wheat, and farmers will soon be-
gin to realize that they will not
have to depend alone upon the
golden cereal for a living. As
sugar beet factories are started
up in different sections of the
state, our farmers will be able to
find a market for the product
and consequently the culture Of
the beet will become more gener-
al.

animation Of four railways
under the guiding hand Of j.
Pierpoint Morgan had already
taken place. The roads men
toned were the Southern Rail
way, the Cincinnati, Hamilton &
Dayton. the Chicago, Indian.
apolis & Louisville and the Gin.
cinnati Southern.
Speaking about railroads we
do not see why the government
should not control them. It
ought to be able to run a railroad
system just as efficiently as it
does the postofice business, and
it does that to perfection. We
hope the time will soon come
when we shall haye government
ownership of railroads.

There is considerable discus
sion among farmers just now as
to how large a per cent of their
fax will grow and many different
opinions are expressed upon this
subject. Last year was a pc
culiar year, fax being cut long
after the frost had arrived. while
other flax was cut ina green con-
dition. Some farmers have ex-
perimented with fax that has
been frozen and have found out
that very little il any Of it will
terminate. The fax generally
raised in this section was not of
the best grade and farmers
should experiment with their
seed before they SOW the acre
age they intend to put in. twill
only take a few days to find OUT
whether their seed is all right
and if it is not plenty of time
will be left for them to secure
good seed. This is an important
point to consider and we hope
our farmer friends will indulge
in q little experiment for their
own good.

Among the many interesting
features at the North Dakota ex-
hibit at Buffalo, will be .'Old
Bill" the mammoth elk owned
by the Grand Forks lodge of
Elks and which has attracted so
much attention whenever the
boys have displayed him. The
old fellow will be shipped to
Buffalo and all Elks the whole
country over will go to the North
Dakota corner and pay tribute to
'tOld Bill This feature of the
exhibit alone will draw thousands
of visitors to our exhibit and the
gentlemen in charge after hav-
ing gotten them within the show
room, will give them a spell
about our state that will open
their eyes. Messrs, Bartlett

wonderful resources. and even

The Griggs County Publish
ing Company has finally let go of

sold the Sentinel to 81. S. Rear
lex, of Grove City, MINI. The
new editor is a practical printer
and will probably put some new
life into the paper. It has been
a costly experiment for the few
politicians who started up the
paper and we venture to predict
that they have got about all they
want of the newspaper business
and a little over.

It's only a question Of a very
short time when gasoline lamps
will be ruled out by insurance
companies, and those people who
want to carry insurance will
have to throw these lamps on the
scrap iron pile. It is claimed by
insurance men that these patent
gasoline lamps are unsafe and
many leading companies are TAX
ing the matter up with a view to
ruling them out. 1t would be
well for our citizens not to pur-
chase any more of these lamps
until such time as the insurance
companies decide the matter.

The Reynolds Enterprise wise
~ remarks: SIT is to be hoped
that the people of this country
will not go crazy over Funston
now. They stopped over and
made the world sick at the
stomach when Hobson was
turned loose on his damp journey
from New York to San Francis
co. We should not be fools any
longer and should not try to
make a fool of the Kansas man.
We talk about the French people
being monkeys but we have
demonstrated on many occasions
that all the idiots are not in the
other hemisphere by any means.
We should not give Funston a
house and lot. We should not
have gangs of hem headed women
standing around with their chops
puckered up waiting to deluge
the hero. We should not begin
to label babies in his honor. We
should just keep shady and at
tend to business as if heroes
were a regular diet with u.s.
Reports Of huge railroad
combinations are being printed
in the daily papers According
to all accounts the enterprise in
wolves the greatest combine of
capital known in the history of
finance.
1t was said the company would
be formed under the laws of
New Jersey for the purpose of
conducting a general railway and
transportation system through
United States. The company
would hold a controlling interest
in all the great railway systems
and the management of the roads
would be vested in the control
ling company. According to the
proposition each road would pre-
serve its identity and corporate
existence. but the new company
would control the affairs of all.
By this policy large sums Of
money could be saved as the re
suit of economy in management
and the stoppage of rate cutting.
The names of men like J.. Pier
point Morgan, VIM. K. Wander
bilt, j. J. Hill, Edward 81. Harri-
man, George J. Gould, John
Rockefeller, Jack b. Schiff and
James Stillman were freely used.
One report stated that the first
step in the proposed plan would
be the securing of stocks Of the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy,
Erie, Great Northern and North
ern Pacific and that provisions
would be made for the acqui-
sition of other properties in the
immediate future.
Discussing the reported
amalgamation of the railways the
New York Press says:
SAIL that is aimed at according
to the best authority obtainable
lis a community of interests, the
close amalgamation of communi,
ty of interest basis was first
brought about through the eff
forts of j. Pierpoint Morgan
AS q result of this close union Of
interests, ruinous rate wars are
already at an end, not so many
high priced officials are needed
as before and one can buy {
ticket on any trunk line in almost
any of the large Offices in the
cities. However that single
company will be formed under
the New Jersey laws to take over
all the railways in the country is
not taken seriously by well in.

Have fragrant blossoms. Many others are fragrant only when crushed.
 There is one which is fragrant in bloom and fragrant also when its ripened fruit is crushed and made into a drink. We know it as coffee.
 To enjoy the most delicious fra grance of coffee in its highest state of perfection you should buy what you are sure is coffee, pure and simple, without any adulteration.
 Chase & Sanborn's Coffee is a pure coffee. What is more, it is the best coffee that can be raised by experienced planters. Furthermore every bean is selected and the same care is maintained in roasting and packing, until it reaches the con sumers' hands.
 Because it is pure it is healthful and the price at which it sells IS so little in advance of cheaper grades that one stops and wonders why any one should not always have Chase & Sanbom's Seal Brand Coffee, or any one of their high grade brands which come in parch- ment lined colored bags.
