Know Your own Capacity.

If the people, about you are carrying
on their business or their benevolence
at a pace which draws the life out of
you, resolutely take a slower pace; be
called a. laggard, make less money, ac-
complish less work than they. but be
what you are meant to be and can be.
You have your natural limit Of power
as. much as an engine-ten horsepower
or twenty Or a hundred. You are ut
to do certain kinds OF work and you
need a certain kind and amount Of
fuel and a certain kind OF handling

ATTORNEY GENERAL CoMSToCKS

TBR-oPINIoN ON ENFORCE
MENT Or PROHIBITION LAW.
Attorney General Comstock stopped
at jamestown o. his way to Mandan
and said to the Alert: sz3&
THE great difficulty in enforcing the
the prohibition in the western portion
Of the state. for the reason that the
men in the business are usually old
residents of the town who. have been.
in business a long time and have been
fairly good citizens Notwithstanding
their violation of the ~prohibitory law.
1t is hard to get their fellow citizens
to testify against them. Take it in
the eastern part of the state and a diff
ferent class of citizens sell liquor.
AS a rule they are strangers in the
community, ,recklessly violating the
law for a few months for the little gain
there is in it. Their conviction is an
easy matter. My work in enforcing
the law is mostly in the central and
western portions of the state where
liquor selling is not always considered
a crime. = -
I'm my opinion there should be No
haste in taking action in the matter
Of the consolidation Of the Grsat
Northern, Northern Pacific and Bur
lington. 1t is doubtful if our present
law will cover the matter. Mime
sota's law is much more stringent and
it will be time enough for North Da,
kota to- act after. that states case. has
been decided in the courts. II do not
see anything in the situation to re.

SUMMER SCHOOL WORK,

In the fact that the enrolment of
students Mt the second term of the Mis-
souri, State University's summer school
breaks all records in this State there is
n gratifying significance of Missouri ap-
probation of this branch Of university
work.
The value Of the service being rem
dered in this important department of
university extension work cannot well
be overestimated. 1t means chance
for education to many who would other
wise be deprived of any opportunity for
acquiring a scholastic training 1t means
also a great gain of time to many others
who have not much time to spare in
fitting themselves for the worlds bat
ties. It's appeal to the ambitious youth
of State is necessarily inspiring.
There is reason for State pride in the
fact that the Missouri University's sum-
!! mer school is now the third largest in
the United States. This goes to prove
alike the merit Of the university and the
earnestness of the generation taking ad-
vantage Of the opportunity offered by
university service in this field. More
than all else is It's promise Of benefit to
the State itself, a benefit sure to follow
| the proper educationa equipment Of the
States citizens.

THE SMOKE EVIL.

There is now regretted probability
that the smoke-abatement bill will fail
to pass the City Council before that
body shall have adjourned for the sum-
mes.
Abatement of the smoke evil Is one of
the necessities Of St Louis's municipal
preparation for the Worlds Fair. The
city must be made clean and attractive
to the eyes Of visitors. 1t will not be
possible to do this AZ long as the At
mosphere remains filed with smoke and
SCOT. The first step to be taken toward
the beautifying Of St Louis is the elimi
nation Of smoke.
It would he gratifying to see the mem
bers Of the City Council recognize this
plain fact and make an earnest endeavol
TO pass the smoke abatement bill during
the session now closing. There is nc
good reason for delay. There is every
reason for prompt action in the various
tasks necessftated by the Worlds Fail
requisite Of clean and beautiful

DON'T SELL OUT.

Secretary Of Agriculture Coburn of
Kansas speaks truly when he advises
farmers to hold their young stock
through the drought As he points out,
the period Of dry weather has frightened
many into shipping calves and hogs
simply to keep from paying high prices
for feed If the present conditions con-
tinue.
Prudent managers will follow Mr. Co.
burns advice. There is little danger
that Missouri farmers will do what he
warns Kansas farmers not to do. Mis-
sourians appreciate the importance Of
keeping young stock on the farm. That
is the principal source of steady agricul-
tural profit in this State. Last year
over oneshalf Of the corn and fodder
raised in Missouri was put on the mar
ket in the shape Of live stock.
1t is only within late years that the
Kansas farmer has appreciated the Inn
portance Of breeding his own stock. The
small holder Of land divided his quarter
section into a corn field and a prairie
grass pasture. Then he went to the
South and West. where he bought 2
year-olds, paying prices that were
usually highly profitable to the cattle
kings Of the range.
Raising cattle on that basis was moth.
ing short Of speculation. Often the
bank furnished the money with which
the stock was purchased, taking mort.
cages on the cattle and feed. II the
market happened to be low. the bank
was compelled to take all the proceeds
from the sale and the farmer had moth.
| ing to show for his years work. Some
times q falling market left even the
bank with a balance in red ink ON the
deal.
Conditions have changed. With the
bOuntifIl crops Of the past few years
the farmers have taken counsel of ex
perience. They have begun raising theil
own stock. Coincident with the diversi
ty and rotation Of crops, the value of .
small herd of live stock has become ap
preciated as 1t is in the East, where tht
economies in agriculture are pfacticed t.
the fullest extent.
This new and more stable condition Il
one that Kansas can i'll afford to lose
As the Secretary Of Agriculture correct
" observes. It will take ten years to re
gain such q position IL once the youn,

debt. There Is fair amount Of fodde
on hand, even though rain does no
come within a month. Missouri il ii
equally good shape, or better, for condl
tons are even more thoroughly settle,
now than In Kansas. Wise farmers vii
not only consider the present but tn
future. 1t is the man who has held OF
with grim determination that will b
the winner two or three years hence.
