Of Devils Lake and Ramsey county,
heavy tax payers and msn who pay
their just oblig stlons They are the
men who have been fighting for clean:
politics, and the elimination Of strife
within the party. The opposition
cannot point to one act they have ever
committed that has been detrimental
to the best interests Of the whole
people. They have advocated none
but good men for Office. Can this be
successfully disputed I We defy
anyone to point to single instance
where the SO called gang has at
tempted to thwart the will Of the peo-
pie, whore they advocated any thing but
clean politics, or whore they attempt
ed to foist upon the arty any candi-
date untitled for the Office to which
he aspired. It is no discredit t .
any man to train politically with the
best element ia the party, and there
is where the Inter Ocean will always
be found.

FARMING AS A PROFESSION.

What shall the young men Of the
future do, was a question recently
discussed by one Of the greatest stu I.
dents of social economics before q
graduating class in one Of the LARGE
colleges. Usually on such OCCASIONS
young people are directed to the fields
Of science or art or literature, or to
some one of the SO called learned pro.
fessions or to commercial pursuits.
Not SO in this instance. The lecturer
declaled that the future of the young
men of this country lay in the agri.
cultural pursuits. Not only did he
point 70 the fact that some of the
west is filled with men who have made
eompetences in agricultural pursuits,
and that agricul.aee mas become as
much profession as the law or medi-
cine or theology but he also showed
that the commercial tendency of this
age is limiting the number and re-
stricting the Usefulness Of the young
men IN the lines il which their
fathers succeeded. The lawyers

young man growing into his practice,

THE PRESS ASSOCIATIONS.

Ire Pink Paper very fraternally
remarks that the officers Of the North
Dakota Press association for the last
year, and those elected at st. Louis
this year are anti Hans brough, and
further adds that the election Of those
last year was largely brought about
through the efforts of the Inter- Ocean.
It is true that the retiring pest
dent of the rganization has been for
years opposed to Senator Hansbrcugh
and used his joArnal to further his
personal fight. This fact was well
known to the Inter Ocean representa-
tive who is accused Of procuring his
election, bnt the Inter Ocean has al I
ways believed that the press associa-
ton is an institution in journalism
not in politics and was always able
to rise above the small things that
have been used to injure its usefulli
ness If those who have held the
offices in the past, and those illegally
elected-at a meeting not called by
the executive committee, as the con
stitntion and by laws of the associa-
ton require-by very small per-
centage of the association membership
thousand miles from home, have
attempted to prostitute it to accom-
plish personal ends, or who have at
temped to control an election uf a
man opposed to Senator Hansbrough
into an endorsement Of the political
methods and career Of the president is
absolutely silly. Col. Hager we'll
knows that it was specifically stated
by the Inter Ocean representative
when he was asked to assist in pro-
curing the election of the former to
the presidency of the association, that
it was no endorsement Of his political
career or policy, but that it was
merely matter Of journalistic fellow
ship. If the association prefers ito
use it's Offices for political purposes.
it has shown how thoroughly we'll
the interests of the association are
served, when a man who has never
had sufficient interest in the associa-
ton to attend its meetings is elevated
to the chief place in its councils, and
one who has never been regarded as
more than journalistic monstrosity
is given seat on the right hand ii
the throne. journalism in North
Dakota were indeed prostituted ii
these things represented the idea Of
Bny considerable number of the press
gang. But they do not, and no one
knows it better than the editor of the
Pink Paper and Grant Hagel who was
wholly responsible in foisting them up
on tie association. The North Dakota
Press association is an organization
whose purpose is the elevation Of the
press, irrespective of political party.
religious creed, or partizan faction, and
If few sore heads have postituted it,
the Inter Ocean is glad to be acc used
of sufficient liberality to rise above
those things and help to elect those
whose political principles are anita
gonistic even to its own.

Killed in Wreck


Jacob Birder, a prominent citizen
of Park River, who was on his way
to st. Lonis to attend the democratic
national convention as de legate from
this state, was killed in a wreck on
the Wabash rsilroad at Litchville,
illinois, Sunday evening. 8
The list of the dead included the
names Of twenty people, and the in
fJured list runs above folty. NewsIof
the[death Of Mr. Birder came as a
great shockfto the many friends of
the deceased throug hout the state and
Mrs. Birder was Frustrated by the
news,
He was 46years Of age and a native
of Austria. He came to walsh
county twenty years ago and for Gf-
teen years had made his home at Park
River, where the Birder home is one
of the finest in the state. He is
survived py, q widow and two sons,.
aged 13and II years respectively.
Mr.. Birder was engaged in the mer-
camille business at Park River until
1900; when he disposed Of that to en-.
gage in Investment banking. At the
time or his death he was president Of
the Bank of Park River and had
many other .la-ge interests and was
considered very wealthy. In 1886 he
was elected treasurer of. Walsh county
and in 1900 wassthe democratic can
|didate for. state treasurer. At the
time of his death he was a member Of
the common council. In addition to
holding mambaEhipaain Polish
society Mr.. Birder was member Of
Fargo lodge knights Of Columbus.
He had been prominently identified
with the growth Of Park River and
Walsh county during his residence Of
score of years there, and was man
who was highly esteemed by all.
There probably was not a better
known person in that section Of tbe
state. He was q man of the strictes1
integrity, and in his death the state
as we'll as his home county and city,
loses a citizen who was always read,

eforts* for the upbrilding Of the com

The Battle of LaioYang.

Tho authoritative news from the scene of
tho hot fighting in Manchuria is meager to-
day. suggesting that there may be in TACT,
as indicated by dispatch from Mukden,
an interruption of the telegraph lines to
Iiaovang. St Petersburg will not admit that
this is the case. but is nevertheless without
late official dispatches. and is baslns It's
announcements upon yesterdays reports
and its prior knowledge of kuropatkln 5
plans If in truth the train service between
Mukden and Liaoyang has been inter-
rupted the outlook for the Russian army
Is indeed dark. Yet st. petersburg pro-
fesses entire confidence in kuropatklns
ability to extricate himself from his pres
ent plight by attacking Kurokis army
north of the Taitse river while the armies
of Nodzu and Oku are separated from the
northerly japanese force by the stream
The fact that the japanese have occupied
Iiaoyaug is not confirmed from official
Russian sources, though perhaps solely on
account of the lack of communications
Nor is it announced as yet from Tokyo. 1t
seems to have been inferred at ST Peters
burg on the basis of the withdrawal OF
Kuropatkin's army across the Taitse river,
which flows directly along the walls of the
towns northern side. Whether this is an
abandonment for strategic reasons or a
compulsory move does not appear posi-
lively. but the suggestion is strong that 1t
Is the latter.
Thus with Kuropatkn outside of the
walls of Liaoyang and across the river in
the plain stretching toward Mukden, he
has either to fight in the open or retreat
post haste toward the northern city.
Everything now depends upon the confir-
nation or diSprOof of the report that the
railroad line has been cut. If severed, the
Russian commander is indeed in straits
and the end of the is possibly in sight.
