vests were it possible to bring to the
vegetation a proper amount of mois-
ture. And these lands are today as
barren as sand dunes of Egypt because
of this lack of moisture. 1t is we'll
known, too, that enough water flows
down the rivers, often making havoc
and desolation of their pathway, to
apundantly water these same barren
lands. The irligation congress is at
tempting to solve the gigantic scientific
question of how to utilize this great
waste of water for plant production.
In some parts ofthe country VIII ere the
LAM is level and the water supply of
sufficient elevation, the question is a
simple one. But in the regions
where these conditions do not exist,
the problem, is difficult and this is

its work WILDE the admiration of the

A careful persual Of the papers of
the state that come tt the exchange
table of the Inter Ocean has thorough
~ demonstrated the fact that the first
reports of the damage done by the
recent storm were much exaggerated
and many of these papers are either
retrenching on their former reports
or correcting the wild statements
made about their localities by other
papers. This is one'of the reasons
why people in other parts of the
country have such ideas of
North Dakota. The recent storm was
a bad n and considerable damage
was done but if one half the wild
stories sent out had been true there
would not have been enough food left
in the state to feed one tenth of the
population. People outside the state
see these reports and believe them and
they thus have the same injurious
effects upon the state as If they were
true. The later reports from nearly
every part of the state show that the
injury done to the grain was not
twenty per cent of what was first re-
ported. The grain, especially the
standing flax was injured but the in
creased price will make good all that
is lost in grades. Just why such sen
sational reports should be made is
hard to determine. They give the
state an nnenviable reputation that il
does not deserve. One of the things
the state stands much in need OF q
class of enterprising people from other
states to develop the vast wealth Of
the soil. But if the people who are
contemplating coming to the state
should see these reports of the damags
done by the recent storm as telegraph
ed to the city papers and printed
f in the state they would be fools

They will not see the modified reports
nor will they know that the storm
which swept the state was unparollel-

The efforts of the Central Labor
union of Washington to force Presi-
dent Roosevelt to remove Miller from
the position of foreman in the bindery
of the government printing Office,
teaches in decidedly forcible name
the extent to which organized cratfism
will resort to carry a point. This
article is not hostile to organized
labor. On the contrary, it should be
the pride of every good citizen to up
hold the efforts Of the toiling millions
to enforce their rights. But these
rights must be enforced in proper ways
and by legitimate means, else the
government would become a seathing
chaos Of anarchy. Out of this condi-
tion would come the slavery of the
masses, and this must be avoided.
But the Miller case is a serious mat
ter. The plan is fol the Washington
labor union to send out to all other
unions in the country a request for
them to petition the president to dis
miss Miller from the services of the
government. The petitions will be
signed and presented, and the presi-
dent will be placed in the position of
refusing to be governed by the request
Of the organized labor of the country,
for he will certainly refuse to change
his we'll matured decision on the mat
ter. But will he he acting against
the wishes of the petitioners? No.
An analysis Of the situation will
prove it. To properly petition for an
action, the petitioners should have a
thorough knowledge of the subject
matter in controversy. and this know
ledge can only come through a care
full and impartial study of both sides
Of the question. This information the
signers of the petition cannot have.
They may know the side of the
Washington union, but they do not
know that of Miller. Their opinions
are therefore one sided, if they have
any opinions. But in the majority
Of cases they will sign without
consideration, and in neither in
stance will their petition be of any
value in determining what action
should be taken. The right of petit.
tion is Il sacred one, and should
never be allowed to pass out of the
hands of the people. But it should
not be abused. The hasty and In
discriminate petitloning on matters
not considered by the petitioners,
and which but little represents their
actual wishes and desires, has brought
the p%etitioning power of the people
into such repute that it is usually
regarded as a farce. President Roose-
Welt will not turn a deaf ear to the cry
of labor, and his former actions have
proven this to all fair minded men.
And when those who knew both sides
Of the Miller case presented it to the
president, he gave it careful atten-
tion and decided as he thought right.
The long list Of m that will be
presented on the petition do not
Indicate the merits of that side.
And this is one of the things that
loses organized labor it's stanchest
friends. 1t goes to unreasonable
extremes, and candid minded men
cannot follow.
