A True DakOtan.

J. P. Rance: Have Just come
in Monday from Mimic where I
have been principal of the public
schools during the past year. We
have had an exceedingly pleasant
and successful school at Mimic,
the people of that town being
highly appreciative of good work,
and are thoroughly alive to the
best educational interest of their,
children. The Mimic school board,
comprising two ladies and three
gentlemen, is one of the most pro-
gressive and enterprising body of
school officials that 1 have ever
seen. They are carefully watch
full of the highest interests of the
school and always stand ready to
make any generous provision for
the promotion of the educational
affairs of the town. I shall spend
most of the summer in Devils
Lake. and will attend the Chautau-
qua and visit several county insti-
tutes. The latter part of the sum-
mer l expect to spend on my farm
north of town where I have 22O
acres of fine growing fax. No
one more than I appreciates the
opportunities which North Dakota
and especially the Devils Lake
land region, offers for the home
seeker, the farmer and the invest
or. Money invested in western
North Dakota lands brings in
larger returns than investment in
the soil of any other state Of the
Union. I regard Devils Lake as
the most substantial and thriving
business town west Of Grand
Forks and being the home of the
State Chautauqua upon the breezy
shores of the great inland sea Of
the northwest, it's population and
wealth will continue to increase
until it will be known as the CEN
ter of thrift and culture whenever
the name is spoken.

Back From the PHILIPPINES.

+ Capt. Cogswell returned from
the Philippines Saturday evening.
He is looking a little thin, but
feels well. The captain states that
when he left Luzon, there was but
little fighting, and this was simply
bushwhacking. The natives who
took the oath of allegiance, he says,
are quite peaceful and will un-
doubtedly make peaceful citizens.

conditions.
Mike Noonan reports crops
everywhere looking better than

Rasmus Sorensen laughed at
the idea of an average crop. He
states that this year the crops will
yield larger than ever.
w. A. Wilson is loud in his
praises of the crops. Mr.. Wilson
has been here as long as anyone
and also says crops never looked
better.
Whipple & Baird state that
their 1000 acres of crops are doing
remarkably we'll since the rain, and
that wheat looks as we'll as it ever
did at this season of the year.
William Webster has this to
say: ''The crops are fine, fine;
they never were better. This is
great weather for wheat and it is
stooling nicely. The rains came
Just in time.''
James Mccormick, from the
Penn district, reports everything
in the crop line doing nicely, es-
pecially the wheat and says that
the report that a bug is injuring
the flax is untrue.
George Cunningham, of Newbre,
was in the city Wednesday and re-
ports crops in his section of the
county in an excellent condition.
Mr.. Cunningham has been in the
county many years and says that

The London Spectator on the Negro
Question I'm America

London. October e5.-Discussing the
negro problem in the United States.
The Spectator. while justifying Mr..
R~oosevelt's noble and courageous
act" In entertaining Booker T. WASH
ington. says 1t wishes the president had
not invited him because 1t believes "a
recognition OF the ~non-existant equal
ity OF the races is not the best way to
kill the white prejudice against the
black"
1t proceeds to advocate. as the best
solution OF the problem. that the whites
and blacks should avowedly form them
civ into two castles like the Hindoo
and Mussulmans OF India. with no
intercourse except on the common bust
ness OF life.
In the opinion OF The Spectator h
ballot should be temporarily with
drawn from the negro, although every
office except the presidency hould be
open to him but the whites should be
entitled to demand a trial by a white
Judge.
Under these conditions" avs The
Spectator, the races would develop
peaceably until the color rules were felt
to be inconvenient and swept away.

A COCKsURE DAILY

We believe The New York World as
pires to be regarded something OF a
democratic paper. The appointing Of
kicking democrats to office in the south
by the new president is opposed only
by democratic partisan organs and
hack politicians in that region" And
this is all the world knows of coldi-
tions in the south. If it knew the truth
about it the comment would be differ
emily made. The simon-pure, unadu
terated, four-square, dyed in the wool,
warp and wool, indigo blue, madden
colored democrats are the ones who
laugh at Roosevent's lame effort. to
quote the ignorant World, in "subt.y
seeking to split the democratic party
by alternating to the republican party
the best section of 1.-THE democrats
who %revolted from the free-silver.'
Whatever success might ave attended
Roosevelts' trickery is dead under his
late White house escapade with Book
er. The World, to show it's superlatiye
ignorance, says that nov hat practi-
cally the whole south has legislated
the black peril out of politics, if the
democratic party there is in danger it
is because Of the unfaithfulneSS of the
democratic partisan leaders and news
papers to democratic principles Of
soundness, sanity and security" Fol
a great newspaper with a huge circula-
ton The World is vastly ignorant while
extremely confident of it's solomonic

INDIGESTION.

Many things you fear about your
stomach cannot be true. If you have
had indigestion or dyspepsia for years
it is natural to believe hat the stomach
itself is diseased. 1t is only the func-
tons Of h stomach that are impaired.
This is the whole trouble in a vast
majority o. cases and the proof can be
had by trying DIR. Harter's Iron Tonic.
Your stomach has many things to do,
and failure TO do any one Of them leads
to imperfect digestion. The stomach
gets it's nutriment and its digestive
fluids from the blood. II the blood is
impure or lacks the right proportion Of
strength-prnducing iron, h whole
body from a kind Of breaking down
process.
To restore health you must start at
the source Of life itself-the blood
and through that vital fluid build up
the stomach and other vital organs.
Dr.. Harter's Iron Tonic has cured
thousands of cases Of indigestion and
dyspepsia every veal for the past forty
five years. II is the one remedy you
can take with certainty Of immediate
improvement. and a sure cure.
It is prepared with scientific accu-
racy and many eminent physicians
prescribe it constantly. Faithful use OF
it will enable you to digest your food
as perfectly as you ever have. Pre-
pared only by The DR.. Harter Medi-
cine Co.. Dayton. Ohio. Sold every

The movement to erect a
to Sir Walter Raleigh by the State
Literary and Historical Society win in
terest many North Carolinians. Judge
Clark, Governor Aycock, Major Ora
ham Davis, General J. s. Carr, and
Professor Grimsley all made earnest
speeches favoring it Governor Aycock
spoke eloQuently in eulogy OF the meri-
torious and unfortunate Raleigh who
persisted al the hands Of British tyr
amy. The idea appeals strongly to the
patriotic arder Of b more intelligent
and informed people. But we can
scarcely forbear saying. that in the
monument building. there are two
North Carolina soldiers, not to write
here OF jurists or statesmen, who should
not be overlooked. Twenty-six years
ago We urged that h state erect q
monument to Major General William
D. Pender. one of General Lees divis-
ion commanders. He said that General
Pender should have been one Of his
CORPS commanders. The other greatly
fitted North Carolinian IS Brigadier
Johnston Pettigrew. Of him
Commodore NJ. L. Maury said that Of
all soldiers in the Confederate army he
was the best qualified to take h place
Of General Lee. in case that peerless
knight Of the ages was killed or died.
These men Of rare distinction and gifts
deserve monuments at the state capital.
We suppose they will never get them.
