Every state is so much interested
in putting itself forward as a region
Of SURPRISING fertility that it is we'll
to seek for the verdict Of ali unpreju-
diced authority. The United States
reports ought to be such au-
In the bulletin on agricul-
ture in North Dakota the bureau says
that except f i some of the southwest
eru counties, especially adapted to
grazing, 1.-THE soil throughout the state
is unusually fertile, bel 1g nearly
everywhere a rich, black loan, vary
ing in depth from a few inches on the
highest hills to five to eighteen feet
in valleys. 1t is easily titled, and as
its composition favors the absorption
and retention of moisture, it is es-
pecially adapted to the production of
wheat and barley. The supsoil is
strongly impregnated with lime and
alkaline elements which serve as per-
petual fertilizers"
North Dakota is essentially a prairie
state, yet with great variety and d.
versitv of surface. It has the flat
plains Of the Red river valley in the
east, the hills in the Choteau regions
west Of the first bench of land above
the valley, the higher prairies that
descend to the Missouri river on the
west and south, the rolling country
west of ths Missouri, with the rough
Bad Lands still further west, an the
bold, billy country of the northwest.
The state abounds in lakes and rivers,
many Of which are bordered with
timber, aud in the Turtle mountains
on the north boasts Of some consider
able attitudes.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY AND
THE CITY OF DEVILS LAKE.
FRIDAY, NOV. 13 1908.

1t is announced in the dispatches
recently that Columbia would attempt
to force the state of Panama to recog-
nize the sovereignty of that country
and will attempt to reach this result
by armed force. South American re-
publics usually have but little judge
ment about matters that concern the
nation until they are taught by ex.
pefience. Columbia by her actions,
drove the people of Panama to revolt,
and under the treaty contracts the
United States was required to main
tain what practically amoungs to an
armistice in the territory. When the
Columbian government makes an at
tempt to coerce her rebellious state,
she will find that this nation is there
with force enough to maintain order
The impulsive Latin nation will
learn that he= game of bluff which
she has tried to work 40 many times,
" ill avail nothing when the obi
cations of this country are at state
The fact is that this country has de-
Tended the sister republics Of the south
so many times that they have come to
regard the United States as a big
brother VINO can always be cajoled.
The opportunity is ripe for the teach
ing of the lesson that because we are
merciful, and ever ready to defend the
weak, that we will not suffer ourselves
to become the agency by which wrong
can be done to any nation or people.
The tie which bound Panama to
Columbia was not such as binds the
states of this nation together in one
indissoluable union, but the power
exercised by Columbia over the for
mer was more that of an protectorate
than a .sovereignty-and separation
of the state from the nation does no t
amount to secession. The Importance
of the country of Panama just now
makes it a very interesting nation.
1t is far too weak to maintain itself
without the assistance of other ma
lions. The interests of the United
States are far too great for any other
nation to have a dominant control.
Out of this condition will possibly
come a protectorate of this country
over the entire nation, and the Pana-
ma canal will give ample cause for
such course. The need CT the United
States as a world power is again thor
oughly demonstrated.

In a day a nation has been born.
The government Of the United States
has decided to recognize the de facto
government Of Panama, and while
this ostens,ly does not give the revo-
.lutionists national standing, the moral
influence of the course this country
has adopted, amounts to the same
thing. The history of the matter is
interesting. Under the treaties OF
this country, the United States is re.
quired to maintain order, and preserve
free traffic across the isthmus. Pan
anna was one Of the so called states of
Colombia, and as Panama would be
materially benefited by the construc-
tion of the Panama canal, its people
became indignant at the course pur-
sued by the Colombian government
in repudiating the canal treaty. The
spirit of revolution was at once in
famed and in a few weeks the blow
was struck. The revolutionists in a
few days forced the Colombian army
out of Panama, and this event was
soon followed by the abdictat'on Of
the civil officers. The revolutionists
at once issued a decla ration of indie.
pendence and set up a government Of
their own, and this has received the
business reception of the United
States. The treaties of this country
require it to prevent Colombia from
Q ,gaging in val on the isthmus. 1
can be seen then that the result car
only be the practical independence o
Panama. Once a n%aticn, it viii
grant the concessions asked for b,
this country, and the Panama cana
will be built. The people of Panam,
are united in the movement, and thor
rs no fear of internal disorder. Th

Soma of the Democratic press, un-
able to find a candidate for it's own
party, is laborlously trying to find
II for the Republican party. The
political wiseacres of that defunct
party are trying to make it appear that
the magnificent Republican majority
given the Republican ticket in Ohio
is an endorsement of the candidacy of
Senator Hanna for the Presidency.
Nothing was ever farther from the
truth than this except the ante ele ton
prophesies of the Democratic party on
the election results. Senator Hanna
is not a candidate for the presidency,
and will not be. He will give his
undivided support to Mr.. Roosevelt
and beapne of the thousands who will
help elect him. But the idea of the
Democratic press is that Hanna is OPP
posing the candidacy of Mr.. Roose.
welt and that there will be a split in
the Republican ranks. Much as this
OF affairs would suit the
Democrats, it Will not occur. The
Republican nominee is as mucn select.
ed now as was VIM. Mckinley at the
Philadelphia convention. Hanna is
far too shrewd a politician to at.
tempt to defeat the popular will by
defeating Roosevelt. It has been one
Of the charges Of the Democrats that
the Ohio senator has played for popu.
larity, and in so doing has taken hold
of matters that were alleady popular
in order to have his name connected
with the result. While this charge
has been without foundation, it GER
tainly is a reputation of this charge
to say the least, to attempt to estab-
lish the fact that he is now running
counter to the very thing that is most
popular. There need be no trouble
among the Democrats on the matter
of Hanna's candidacy. He will assist
in electing Mr.. Roosevelt but that is
all the Democrats can possibly hope
to get out of him.

The declaration of Senator German
of Mary land recently in his Baltimore
speech on the eve of the recent cleo.
ton is 4 straw which indicates
strongly the direction in which the
political wind is blowing in national
matters. 1t was an appeal pure and
simple to race prejudice and in view
of the fact that Gorman is a strong
possibility among the Democratic
aspirants to the presidency, has more |
weight than the statement of an in
dividual. 1t is a declaration of party
:! principles to a large extent. Those
who are familiar with Senator Cor
and his political methods know
that he is strictly a man of expe-
diency. A few years ago, he carried
the negro vote of Maryland by pro-
misses of fat positions to the race lead
ers. Having won their votes, he
threw them to the dogs, not n pro-
mise having been fulfilled, nor did he
intend to do so when they were made.
Hit party has been driven from every
tissue upon which it has made a fight.
land is now no hnig more than a dis
..organized crowd, whose leaders gladly
play on the preJudices and passions Of
the rank and file in order that these
leaders may again sit at the public
feast. Left without an issue that
possesses enough merit to command
the respect of the thinking men in
their own ranks, German hopes to
. create a new one and push the fight
AS he did a few years ago OF the
80 called force bill. But what can
shs, or his party hope to gain by
forcing an issue OF the race question ?
The north and tho west will have
none of it, aud the south, the only
section which can be influenced by
this agitation is solidlg, Democratic
and would be so we're there no party
issue. Has Mr.. German figured
that by carrying the solid south, and
adding his own state of Maryland
and possibly New York and a few
other northern states, to have enough
votes in the electoral college to name
the party candidate for president
But in this he must fail, for New
York will certainly give her cleo
oral vote tot the Republican party
and in the states north Of Mason ant
Dixon's line, and in the west, Dem
ocratic votes will not be won b

The st. Louis Republic remarks

The st. Louis Republic remarks
editorially:
"More and more as the situation is
dispassionately considered it becomes
probable that the Democracy will elect
tae president next year. With wise
use Of its opportunities there is some.
thing approaching certainty that it can
d feat President Roosevelt. Missouri
and the rest Of the west and so nth
n ed not yet commit themselves to any
particular geography of nominees.
The Republic has always been con.
sidered the conservative paper Of the
Democrats, but this wild declaration
indicates that it has taken on the ma
ture of the yellow sheet edited by w.
R. Hearst and carrying the name of
New York Journal BY what
means the Democracy hopes to win is
beyond comprehension. The late
elections with all the efforts of the
Democratic press to stretch them to
such, do not indicate a Democratic
gain. The New York election Of Nc
Clellan does not furnish a scintilla Of
hope. The causes of the election we're
strictly local, and the issues of the
Democratic partv\ never entered into
the contest in any particular. The
Ohio campaign, where one of the idols
Of the party met his Waterloo, can
hardly be considered as indicating t: o
growth Of Democratic sentiment.
This leaves the state of Maryland
alone to make it probable, as the Re-
public indictes, that the next Presi-
dent will be a Demo crat. Stop for
a moment and analyze the coudltio, g
there. From 1860 to 1894, the Demo
cratic party in that state had held the
reins of government In that year
Londes was elected governor on tn 9
Republican ticket and a bare majority
Of the legislature was Republican
and Wellington was elected senator.
But everytime the Republicans have
carried the state, it was because of a
reputation Of the Democratic party
by it's WI members and the Republic
cans have always been elected by
Democratic votes. Maryland has al
ways been a Democratic state on stric
party lines and this is true even when
the Republicans have had the major
lty. Now that the party has been
purified by defeat, and the dyed in the
wool Democrats are returning to their
former allegiance, the Republic TAX s
pride i'll the fact, that the Democrat,
after n Of the HARDEST fights ever
experienced in the state. succeed in
carrying it by a small majority
What hope this holds out to a politi-
cal party without a principle and
Without a leader, is difficult to deter
mine. Will the people forget the
soup houses and financial distress Of
the last Democratic administration,
and the unparalleled prosperity that fol,
lowed the coming Of the Mckinley
administration and again put in power
the political party that bought fnan-
cial ruin upon the country The les.
son is too new for the people to be de
ceived.
