IF Senator Hanna will clearly outline
what he thinks ought to be done on the
Philippine question, or state his opinion
on the trust question, or define his posi-
ton on the asset currency, or propose a
system of just state taxation, or show
why the railroads should not be required
to give a two-cent rate to the public, or
explain why home rule should be denied
to the cities of Ohio-If he will do any
of these things he can get up contest
that will draw his attention away from
his illness. The trouble is that Mr..
Hanna's ''let we'll enough alone" policy
is merely an excuse for not meeting the
issues that are presented. He is like
the boy who, when being led toward the
wood shed, suggested to his father that
they talk about something else.

The new homestead laws provide any
man of age, or under age and the head
of family or married, or single woman
of age, or deserted wife or widow. none
of whom now own 100 acres of land in
any state or territory, can acquire a
homestead of not over 100 acres. provided
after appearing in person to make entry
and paying fee of 1928 for 100 acres, he
resides five years on his homestead
making reasonable improvements: OF
after fourteen months of actual residence
and Improvements, he pays s1.25 per
acre for the land. Soldiers and sailors
of the civil war may deduct their time
of service from the time of residence on
the homestead, provided they reside at
least one year. Any one taking less than
100 acres prior to March 2, 1889, may
now enter enough to make up the 100
acres. Any one perfecting title to a
homestead prior to June 5, 1900, may
now acquire another homestead, though
he may not again commute.

ONE of the things that has scared
people from the northwest is the ques-
ton OF fuel, But in this particular
North Dakota is most fortunate. Nearly
the entire western part of the state is
underlaid with Ignite, fuel that in
many respects is equal to the soft coal
of the east. Beds of Ignite are being
operated that produce enough fuel to
keep the entire state. 1t is coal in a
primitive or immature condition, but
makes a splendid fire. 1t is cheap and
convenient and by its use the fuel ques-
tion in North Dakota is solved. Itcosts
no more to provide fuel for North Da-
kota winter than it does for an Illinois
one.

On account of the Bismarck Tribune
having got monopoly on all the codes
in the state it is impossible to buy them
for less than 80 each. The Tribune
printed the books at a cost of $3.50 each,
it is said, and furnished them to the
state for s. each, then got corner on
them. 1t is not right. Newspapers
have no more right to be hogs than in
dividuals and the price should not be
more than IS. 1t seems that grafters
have taken North Dakota.-Ward Coun-

ROAST ON PROHIBITION.

The roast of Mrs. Ritchie b. Doherty
on the present prohlbltory law of North
Dakota in her paper the Nelson Co. In
dependent. which by the way is now an
avowed republican organ. has gained
wide circulation over the state and will
be read with interest by Langdon people,
especially by the old timers. many OF
whom have personal acquaintance
with the lady:
"Are all the institutions for which
large sums are annually appropriated
really necessary from natural causes, or
brought about by necessity recurring
them owing to unfruitful and disobeyed
state laws? Wipe from our statute books
a prohibition law that does not prohibit,
and YOU wipe from the state appropria
tons large sums required for the main
tenance of the annually increasing feeble
minded and insane since the great pro
hibition farce was introduced. No
necessity existed from these institutions
previously. The backbone of the North
Dakota prohibition farce is the big dis
tilleries. who are encouraged to import
into the state most villainous. poisonous
and vilest stuff at the highest price,
without benefit, financially, except to a
few unlawful vendors. There is not one
fourth the population who believe in
prohibition, not one eighth practice. it.
What kind of a free country are we living
in when the largest portion, are permitted
to eat and drink at pleasure. while a
small portion. by direction Of few
cranks. are told to cat and drink only
what pleases cranks who are the first to
run to neighbor for ''just little drop
when their human locomotive, the
stomach, gets out of gear. and they are
too penurious to purchase-oh, no, they
are prohibitionists-fo their pockets
sake! Give the state high license, drive
out blind piggers, boot leggers and
spoilers: remove the inducement for
people to make light of an oath: then
there will be money in the treasures OF
the cities, towns and villages instead OF
their warrants being held at discount;
we will then have better sidewalks, better
roads, and the indirect tax borne by
those who "eat, drink and be merry, for
tomorrow they may die

North DAKoTANs are aroused over the
possibilities of irrigation in the semi arid
region in the western part of the state
and great interest is being taken in the
state convention called to meet in Bis
marck the Doth and 21st of this month
The possibilities of.the work was shown
the North Dakota delegates who attend
ed the national convention at Ogden a
few days ago, and they came home
enthused with the work. President j.
]. Hill. of the Great Northern, has prom
Used to attend and make an address.
The railroad interests will do everything
possible to promote the meeting. The
people of the state and the railroads are
united in the work, as it will develop the
western part of the state to the advan-
tage of both. The topography of the dry
belt of the state is such that an irriga-
ton plan can be carried along without a
great expenditure. The streams and
coulies can be damned sufficiently to
hold the annual rainfall, and system of
bitches can be used that will serve the
purpose as we'll as more elaborate plan.
There is 100000 in the United States
treasury for the state, and if North Da-
kotans do not use it the funds will be
diverted to the states where greater &C
tivity is being shown, and this state will
be compelled to wait for some years to
secure the advantage of an irrigation
system.
