abuses have been unearthed and corrected

Congress was frank enough to confess it

the House the bill which carried the appro-

perhaps. the House has been in the habit
While sitting as a committee of the whole
OF striking out the paragraph from the ap-
preparation bill which provided for the
maintenance and salaries OF the civil SER
vice commission, and INDUCING in many
eloquent and fiery speeches on the evils
OF the civil service law. These speeches
of course. appeared in the Congressional
Record and when the representative re-
turned home he could refer to and exhibit
them to those of his constituents who be-
set him for places. OF course the House.
upon reassembling, promptly restored the
stricken-out paragraph and passed the APP
preparation as required.
THE point of interest in this connection
Is this: This grandstand play has been
continued for years. 1t viii be interesting
to observe, in view of the recent and un-
expected disclosures, which must be ex-

Devils Lake inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, Ramsey Co., Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1905, 1901-03-29

Iof thousands of. farmers in the
east have gone through this pain
full experience only to find that a
life time was not sufficient for the
performance Of the task imposed
upon them by circumstances and
surroundings.
, In Ramsey county there is none
of this slavery. There are no
,,stumps to dig out, no stones to
gather. All it. needs is to be
broken up to produce a crop that
in quality and quantity cannot be
surpassed. Why, then, will the
eastern farmer waste his life in a
~ceasless round Of toll in the vain
endeavor to get his scant acres in
fit condition for cultivation when
out here are lands by the thousands
of acres that can be procured for
ANEI. glt..FTI "#. .F2HtHL4 TT
a triAe and which are always
ready for cultivation? All the
farmer here. has to do is to SOW
and reap and harvest. The reason
why SO many eastern farmers
worry along in the treadmill of
their weary existence is because
they are not we'll informed as to
existing conditions in this part of
North Dakota. Were the facts
regarding the advantages of farm
life in u state generally known
throughout the United States
there would be such an influx of
immigration that we should
scarcely know what to do with the
people.

An Outrage.

Washington, March 27.-Strong
efforts will be made at once to Sc
cure a pardon for Alex Mckenzie,
whose hearing for a writ Of habeas
corpus was denied by the United
States supreme court. The presi-
dent will be asked to release Nc
Kenzie, avowing that the term of
his Imprisonment is altogether too
long for a mere contempt of court.
and the inside history of the case
will be laid before the president.
It is said hat Senator Hanna has
expressed his opinion of the incar
ceration of Mckenzie as a high
handed outrage.
Senators Hansbrough and Nc
Cumber r still here and will
work for the pardon. They regard
his long term for contempt as I'M
precedented, and say that there is
not another instance like it in the
Judicial annals ofthe country. AS
a rule the longest sentence for
contempt is from thirty to sixty
days, but in this instance it is

EASY FARMING.

The Industrious, widewake
farmer cannot fail in North Da-
kota, and especially in Ramsey
county. The other kind will sue
coed nowhere, no matter how
favorable the conditions may be.
The hard worker generally
manages to make a living, even
though surrounded by discourage
ing environments. He gets along
much better, however, if located
in a community where conditions
are favorable. That is why the
industrious class cannot fail to do
well in Ramsey county. The op-
portunities are here, especially
for the farmer who desires to Sc
cure land of his own and establish
aspermanent home for himself and
family.
Look at the facts. Land is still
cheap in this county. Not only
that, but it is fertile. Flax, wheat
and other crops grow as well here
as anywhere in the United States.
The man who becomes the owner
of a Ramsey county farm has a
sure thing. It is better than
stock in railroads, banks or other
corporations. It pays yearly
dividends that are certain. The
railroads may be operated at a loss
and thus cease to be profitable.
Banks may fail and go into the
hands of receivers, but the Ramsey
county farmer never has to worry.
In the worst possible year he can
at least make a living, and when
he harvests a bumper crop, as is
the rule, he makes big profits.
The most Independent man in this
country, especially if he has his
land paid for, is the farmer.
This, however, is scarcely true
of the tiller Of the soil in all parts
of the country. Many an eastern
farmer is a veritable slave and
seldom enjoys a day Of rest. He
has to spend every spare moment
grubbing stumps or gathering
stones in an effort to get his land
in tillable shape. He works al
this toilsome task through early
manhood. through the prime o.
life, and old age over takes hin
before he succeeds in his ambition
to get his farm smoothed off anc
in good tillable condition. Tens

RICH IN

The man who comes to North
Dakota looking for a farm should
not fail to visit Ramsey county.
It is one of the best agricultural
sections Of the state. The land is
fertile and produces big crops.
Everybody in the Northwest knows
that. Then, what is also of great
Importance to the man with small
capital, this land can be purchased
at a very modest cost per acre.
The price, however, is steadily adj
vancing and in a few years farm
lands in Ramsey county will be
worth as much as they are, in Iowa
and other populous eastern states.
This means that the time to invest
is now and those who act upon
that principle will reap a rich re-
ward in time.
There are improved andpartially
improved farm lands in Ramsey
county that can be bought at a
cost SO modest that the proceeds
Of 1 single crop Of wheat or fax
will prove sufficient to reimburse
the owner for his expenditure for
the land. Think of that. In
what other established and pro-
gressive community can similar
conditions be cited? We know
of none.
If, however, the immigrant does
not want an improved farm but
prefers to locate on government
land, he is as we'll off in this dis
trict as he can be anywhere.
There are thousands Of acres in
the Devils Lake district remaining
to be taken up. In fact a man
can find most anything he wants
in the way Of farming lands if he
will but come to Devils Lake and
make his wishes known.
This section of country is in
many respects one of the most de-
sirable in the state. The people
who live here are enterprising,
progressive and hospitable. They
are good neighbors and the new
conner is soon made to feel at
home. He finds himself among
friends who rejoice with him in
prosperity and sympathize with
him in sorrow and distress. Then,
aside from all this, remains the
significant fact that it takes but
little money to enable one to make
a beginning. Farms can be
bought cheap and on the most adj

time by the forelock.
A st. Paul man who recently re-
turned from the Pacific coast tells
the papers of that city that
Seattle, Tacoma and Portland are
crowded with moneyless men, and
that there is no work for many
who seek it. Many Of these un-
fortunates are stranded gold seek
ers who have managed to make
their way back from Alaska, but
have no means by which to secure
transportation to their former
homes. There is a significant les
son in all this. The moral is that
the get rich quick policy seldom
pays. The slow but sure motto is
the only safe one upon which to
act. The idea of digging gold
may seem attractive, but the
truth is that it doesn't pay. Bet
ter by far is it to be a farmer in
North Dakota where industry
never fails to bring it's reward,
than it is to go prospecting for
gold in cold and barren Alaska, or
any other country for that matter.
Wheat and flax lands beat gold
mines ten to one on the average.
Senator Hale's bill to prohibit
the manufacture and sale of
cigarettes in this state did not be-
come a law, but the example set
by their North Dakota brethren
did not deter the Minnesota legis-
lature from taking contrary action
on a somewhat similar measure.
A. bill placing a ban, on the
fragrant cigarette, sometimes
dubbed the "cofin nail" has pass
ed both of the Minnesota legisla-
tive houses and it is now unlawful
to buy, sell or give away in that
state the little packages of rice
paper in which the Durham or
Dukes Mixture" is rolled. The
measure is condemned by some as
sumptuary legislation and there
fore contrary to the spirit Of per-
sonal liberty, but most people ap-
prove Of it on the ground that the
growing and destructive vice of
cigarette smoking has created an
imperative necessity for such a
statute. How we'll the law will be
enforced remains to be seen.
