Probably il may be a disappoint-

s1e question of anarchy is ably dis
eussed in all its intricate phases, the
question of a large proportion of the

view of a personal manifest interest
in this same class, by the President,
this obvious neglect can be readily
forgiven.

say that he regretted that our "besi

Several Negro pApers are disappcint-
ed because President Roosevelt did
not mention the Negro or lynching in
his message. This is doubtless not
the last message he will write prior TO
1904 Wait. Give him time. Then
what's the use of mentioning The Ne
gro or lynching if he or Congress is
powerle to help uses The Negro
must stop looking to Congress or the
Executive Mansion for help, but
make friends with the whites among
whom he lives and seek redress for
persecution or euIages in the courts

The Presidents Message is a very
broad and statesman like document.
Paid magnificent tribute to Presi-
dent Mckinley; wants law against
anarchist, the navy enlarged, army
officers promoted on merit, reciproc~

OF which we will speak later.

President ROOsevelt's message to
Congress is now history. 1t abounds
in evidences of his strong personali-
ty, and his independent convictions,
while the natural tediousneSS of the
Derusal Of 50 voluminous a document
is immensely relieved ty the entertain
ing rhetoric which he uses. The doCu
ment deals with national problems in
clear.Cut, unmistakable language and
stoOps to equivocatlOn on nothing
No specific reference is made to anv
of the issues Involved in the welfare of
the Negro in this country, and we are
alta loss as far as a definite knowledge
of his intentions regarding our people
goes. but W feel that it is but just to
him that we should await the final out
come of his actions before we pass
judgement for his question is too pre-
gnant with considerations which will
augur good or I'll in their adjustment
TO make it possible that public men
should much longer avoid the issue,

and outlaw him civillY is too strong to

The secretary of the interior has
sent to the senate the treaty recently
negotiated between the Indians on the
Fort. Totten reservation and the gov
eminent for the cession OF 100000
acres of their land to the government.
There seems no doubt that this treaty
will be ratified by the senate, Senator
Hansbrough being an especially vigor-
Gus worker in it's behalf. The treaty,
when ratified, will open up a large and
desirable territory in the vicinity of
Devils Lake for settlement, and will
afford opportunities for settlers to get
splendid lands at a moderate price.
Already many prospective l~andseekers
are visiting the reserve and selecting
claims to be filed on if the treaty is
ratified.

thinks the proper way to advertise
North Dakota is to call attention to
those things which are permanent
sources of prosperity. mixed farming,
cattle and horse raising, hogs, dairy
ing and the wool Industry. There are
successes in these lines from one, end
Of the STATE to the other, aha they are
such . success that every. man who
plays III the game may very reasonably
expect to win. With fax raising, or
the growing of any crop to be sold off
the farm as grain, failure is the per-
manent rule and success the temper
airy exception, not only in North Da-
kota, but every other state where it
has been tried. Because a Ia has
made $40 an acre this year from a crop
of fax is no criterion to go by for next
year. There are other branches of
farming that pay a reasonable profit
every year, and it is these lines, and
not fax or wheat raising for the mar
ket, that more fifty represent North
Dakota's prosperity.

IN calling the attention of the purchasing public to our large

The jamestown Alert does not think
the railroad merger will act to uphold
rates more than the arrangement
which has prevailed between the rail-
roads in the past. The Alert says:
There has always been a Community
of interest" OF pool on rates by the
roads of the state. The same rates
for hauling freight and passengers
prevail and have prevailed on all the
lines for years. One line hal the ad-
vantage over another chiefly according
to the locality, and the facilities Of
fered. Should the merger result in
increasing the rates then would a lie
cided opposition from the people be
found and trouble in earnest would
begin for the combination. But a COM
mon sense view of the case seems to
warrant a prediction of lower rate:
instead of higher. in which event the.
public would be benefited instead of
hurt. The volume of railroad busi-
ness in this state is growing rapidly
and this has generally been followed
by lower rates. The shipper wants
satisfactory rates first and does not
care what the name is on the freight
cars that hauls his produce to market,
OF brings back the necessities Of life"
