Everybody Can't Do Everything

We can't paint a picture, or carve s statue, or make coat. but we can wash clothes to perfection. We can do 1t because we do nothing else-have done nothing else for good while-bA F. cause we have studied 1t, and thought about 1t, and worked hard as any nainter ever did. It requires as much hard work, and practice, and talent to make a good laundry as to make a good nicture. Everybody can't paint a ntc- ture-everybody can't wash clothes per- fectly. We want you to give us fair sria1. and allow us to prove our word.

MORE SURVEY.

Chief Engineer Whitman of the
w. G. e.. F. R. R., departed on
Thursday with a surveying party
of surveyors for the end of the
present extension of the road. The
engineers will lay out about forty
miles more of extension to the road
this fall and the work Of grading
will be commenced early in the
spring.
This extension will open up an
extensive territory and will do
much towards the settlement and
development. The road will tap
the best and richest farming lands
in the state.
The surveyors will have two
camps in the field and the extern.
sion work will be rushed. The
present terminus of the road viii
be IL miles northwest of Wash
burn, about eight miles Of the iror
being laid.

HOLD TT.

The suggestion Of a Valley City
journal in a recent issue, that North
Dakota people ask their -four deal
ers for macaroni -four to try and
that they use it if they like it, is a
good idea.
In addition to that, / would sug-
gest that wheat growers hold mac
aroni wheat, if they are prepared
to do so, for probably nothing bet
ter can happen for the future of it
than to have it reach the terminal
markets rather deliberately. The
mlllers hold that the milling of it
is perplexing them just at present,
and if it is the case, l believe they
will grow more in favor of it as
they accumulate information by
experimenting with it.
Macaroni bread is palatable and
nutritious, and I have eaten splen-
did cake made from it. The man
who believes in the maxim "North
Dakota for the North Dakotans,"
can do the state as good a turn bv
using the -four made from the
wheat which will not only increase
the yield of the grain on the pres
ent acreage, but will extend the
wheat belt further west in the state

According to the medical reports of
the navy, "neurasthenia,' a species of
nervous disease supposed to be de-
pendent upon the impairment of the
functions of the spinal cord, appears
to be on the increase in the service.
y number of valuable officers are now
on sick leave and under treatment for
this complaint. The medical officers
attribute it to the necessary condition
of affairs due to the dearth of officers
available for service which imposes
upon those on the active list long
hours of duty on remote stations
where opportunities for diversion are
limited.

Rule of the Trusts.

Congressman Littlefield. republi-
can. gave a list of 1.sOO trusts with a
capitalization of nearly $4,000, 600. 900
which was printed in the COngressiOn-
NJ Record Feb. 20, 1903, to which ag-
gregation each family in the United
States contributed nearly 500 so that
the trusts can get rich and the poor
poorer.
1t matters not how poor and
wretched man may be- the protec-
tive tariff demands and obtains a tax
from him. The ways of the protec-
tionists are peculiar; they pass laws
TO keep out foreign goods and then
pass another law approPriating 3d.
100000 for an exposition at ST. Louis
and invite foreigners to exhibit their
productions side by side in COMPETE
ton with our domestic products.
They have established a system of
taxation so remarkable that a tramp
chewing his quid of tobacco pays his
taxes with the rest of us, and the poor
man and the laborer pays in far great
er proportion than the millionaire.
And yet we are being told by the re-
publican leaders that no steps must
be taken by the coming congress to
reform or revise this unequal tax;
that the prosperity of the country is
bound up with the protective tariff
and we must ''let well enough alone. -
If the republican leaders were not
in league with the trusts. combines
and corporations, would they be con-
tinually advising the voters of the
United States to stand pat" on such
an ubiquitous and unjust system that
makes the farmer, the working man
and the people with small means pay
enormously more in proportion to
their incomes than the millionaire or
the trusts or corporations Is it any
wonder to see vast fortunes accumu-
lated by the few, who are protected,
and the great majority continuing in
straitened circumstances. with no
hope of immediate Improvement?
viii the people of this land continue
to vote to keep the republican party
in power by electing congressman and
legislators who favor the continuation
of the high protective system. or rath-
err vote for democratic candidates who
are pledged to reform the tariff so
that the system of taxation shall be

Republican Postmasters Organizing

Republican EO8tmaSt6FS Or&anlZl0B
The word has gone out from the Re
publican leaders to the postmasters in
every state to organize. Ostensibly the
faithful henchmen are to have as their
objects educational and fraternal pur-
poses, but their real purpose, it will be
seen, is a partisan one. The Nebraska
postmasters are the first to carry out
the order from the bosses by meeting

Herald, former congressman from the

war department, having stopped off
here while on his way to fill a few
speaking engagements in the western
part of the state. He naively admitted
that the association would not be n bad
thing politically from the Republican
point of view; also that there is gen.
eral movement to organize the postmas-
tiers in every state in the Union" As
| nearly every postmaster is a Repub-
Iican and an intense partisan it will be
| we'll for Democrats everywhere to keep
| their eyes open to this movement and
! watch developments. These patriots
are intent on making all the trouble
they can for the Democratic party and
especially for newspapers of that faith.
Most of them would not dare to make
! any desperate step singly, but united.
with the Republican leaders back of

will be more bold.
