IT is only necessary to pick up any
one of the many newspapers printed in
Pembina county to form an adequate
idea of the high regard in which the
people held the late Hon. Jas. Dobie
whose death has recently cast such a
gloom over the western part of this
county. Perhaps the most touching of
many eulogies that come to the memory
of our old friend is from the pen of
Editor Wilson of the Pink Paper at
Bathgate, whose long acquaintance with
Mr.. Dobie makes him better than any
one else able to appreciate his true
worth. Many of the DEMOCRAT readers
will find themselves in accord with the
fine sentiment expressed in the tribute
here reproduced:
A just, honorable, conscientious
christian gentleman, Hon. James Dobie.
passed from the trials of earth to that
home where just men are made perfect.
on Tuesday Of last week at his home at
Mack, Cavalier county. No tribute can
be too great to his memory among those
who knew him. Twenty years of the
better portion of his physical days were
spent in this county. His pathway was
not one strewn with roses or his condi-
tons and surroundings such that his
full worth found room for DEVELOPMENT,
The care of his farm and the rearing of
large family forced his attention to
material things. Still he found some
time to devote to study and to his duties
as citizen in school and township mat
ters and as state senator-wherever his
duty called him he went with willing
heart and earnest effort. His work was
always performed. 1t is not frequently
that such as he are found in political
life but for many years he held the
esteem and confidence of his fellow men
to such an extent that they looked to
him for leadership and guidance. He
was friend to trust. His advice was
sound and his heart was full in SYM
patty for his fellow man. The editor
! Of this paper feels his death as . severe
blow. The deepest regret fills us that
we are no moro to SEQ him or to listen to
his sound reas0nings.

WORTH READING.

In all the Baking Powder "Wars" that
have been internationally waged in the
last twenty years, there is one point that
has been overlooked by the beligerent
makers of these goods. Rival manufac-
turers have contented themselves with
accusing their competitors of making an
unwholesome product. The question OF
keeping quality, and, therefore, efficiency
in raising bread, the only purpose for
which baking powder is used, appears
to have been generally ignored. There
are many powders which, when fresh,
and the can is first uncovered, will do
fairly good work, but after standing for
some time on the pantry shelf, the
powder becomes so weak as to be almost
worthless as far as raising the bread is
concerned. This is especially true in
the case of the co-called phosphate
powders, which, we're it not for this fatal
defect, would be satisfactory baking
powders. The unsuccessful attempts
to overcome this fault Of the "Phos-
plate" powders has enlisted the services
of more chemists and cost more money
than the solution of any other problem
connected with the raising Of bread.
The makers of these "Phosphats" pow
ders raise great cry about the wonder
full healthfulness of their product, but
what matters all this If the powder will
not fulfill the only object for which it is
purehasedy The housewife to whom
economy Is an object will avoid these
"Phosphate" powders.

DURING the past week final returns

Massachusetts have shown that the

FEAR, TRUST. ISSUE.


The press dispatches from Washing
ton indicate that the republican leaders
are trying to secure an early adjourn
ment. The republicans are afraid of
the trust issue and are trying to avoid
it by an adjournment. The merger
decision has put the administration in
dilemma; it must either take the posi-
ton that, the trust law is sufficient and
enforce the law or it must take the posi-
ton that the present law is insufficient
and then recommend some specific rem
edy-that is, it must do one or the
other of these things If it is going to
meet the issue. But it grows more and
more apparent that the party in power
does not intend to do anything what
ever on the trust question, and therefore
the republican leaders are trying to get
away from Washington so as to escape
responsibility. The democrats of the
senate and house ought to insist upon
some affirmative and positive action
against the trusts. Public attention
ought to be called to the cowardice of
the republicans upon this subject, and
public attention can be called to it If
the democrats in the senate and house
will daily bring the matter up and de-
mand action. They can refuse to vote
and obstruct other and less important
legislation. If the democratic leaders
will but focus attention upon the in
action of the republicans, they may be
forced to do something. No adjourn
ment should be consented to until the
trusts are put in the process of ultimate
extinction. The democrats will be
handicapped in their effort to hold the
republican party responsible for the
present trust domination of the govern
ment unless they themselves put forth
every effort in their power to secure
remedial measures.

HEARsr's. candidacy for the democrat

HEARsr's. candidacy for the democratic
nomination for president is making
rapid progress in the western states.
Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kan
sas, Nebraska, South Dakota and North
Dakota are sure to instruct their delega-
tions for him, Montana, Washington,
Idaho, Oregon and California are sure
to fall into line. Hearst's campaign is
vigorous and effective, and his friends
do not seem to be alarmed at the
''boodle' cry raised by the newspapers.
He has wide awake political agents
working in all of the states, and they
seem to be delivering the goods. If Mr..
Hearst is not successful in landing the
nomination for himself he will certainly
name the candidate.-Wahpeton Globe,

The American people are we'll able to
sympathize with the people of Russia in
the loss of the Petropavolovsk which
was destroyed by submarine mine,
Admiral Makaroff numbering among
the four hundred who lost their lives.
We can sympathize with Russia for we
have loss of our own to mourn and one
that is equally attributable to the same
malicious fate or deplorable carelessness
The Russian admiral would have court
ed death in the face of the enemy but to
be sacrificed with his men and i'll fated
ship without meeting the foe is the hard
est fate for the soldier as we'll as the
nation. There il no glory to alleviate the
loss, no satisfaction in blows dealt the
enemy. The accident to the battleship
Missouri which happened at about the
same time is our latest evidence right
here at home. Needless now to inquire
how it happened. The gallant fellows
who lost their lives and their families
enter into the matter, which when in
vestigatsd by inquiry is not likely to
reveal much of interest to the public.
The loss of the Russian ship and crew
and the loss of tho Missouri and crew
are numbered among the sacrifices that
Mars demands from his votaries. We
offer the sacrifices, accompanied BY the
incense of tears and blood aud broken
hearts. We may be thankful for our
national freedom.
