terested in the raising of wheat and
fax that these golden opportunities
have never received even a passing
notice.
The east coast of Florida only few
years ago was the home of crocodiles
and malaria, and today it is studded
with winter resorts that are worth
more to the state than all the enter
prises that existed before they were
started.
Thousands of people are going to
that state to spend two or three
months and lot of money, who would
be just as anxious to come to North
Dakota to spend the summer if we
had the, proper accommodations for
them.
Florida has great hotels and a
climate in which life is deliciously
comfortable during about three
months of the year, and which during
the rest of the year is such that none
except negroes immuned to it's diseases
can live. The summer in Florida is
a thousand times less endurable than
the winters Of North Dakota.
This state has summer climate
that is even better than the winter
climate of Florida. All it needs is the
hotels and the advertising and the
people will come.
But they will not come to a rough
board shanty on the banks of lake
where they would be compelled to
sleep on blank springs and pay ex-
tortionate prices. The people who
patronize summer resorts do not want
to live the simple life. They want
luxury, and they are ready to pay the
price.
The advantages of nature must be
made attractive by the opportunities
of an easy and luxurious life and when
these are made known to the pleasure
seeking public there will be plenty of
people.
But this class never built either a
summer or winter resort They pat
ronize them.
If California or Florida offered moth
lists it invites they would avoid both
as they would Death Valley.
If North Dakota offered as much in
the way of conveniences and comforts
as either, it would have as many tour
lists in the summer as these places
have in the winter.

BETTER PAID TEACHERS.

The teachers in the public schools
Of this state are probably paid more
than in similar work in states much
older.
But they are not yet paid as much
n their work is worth If they are
teachers worthy of the name.
As rule, the man or woman who
engages in teaching and who remains
In it beyond the stepping stone period,
is unqualified for any other work.
They develop from their teaching
habit of dealing only in small things
until they are incapable of grasping
Tho larger ones.
4 They force their minds back to the
level of that of the child in order that
he may comprehend the ideas sought
30 be instilled. until the mind becomes
largely storehouse of juvenile 'rea-
soning. This. of course, applies only
70 those engaged in elementary work.
VI This idea was once expressed in a
state gathering of teachers by then
leader of educational thought in the
country. and was greeted with
storm Of protests because It was con-
eidered a reflection upon the intellec-
st,lai ability OF the teachers.
On the contrary. however, 1t indi-
Gates the very highest qualification for
the work. and is never formed in that

DEVELOPING OUR SUMNER RE.
SORTS.

North Dakota probably sends more
people to the winter resorts of. the
country than any other single state.
This is possible because of the great
number of people in the state whose
yearly incomes are SO much in ex-
cess of their ordinary expenses that
spending the winter in the south is
not a hardship. ~
While 1t is necessary to go south
TO find resort in winter, no state has
such opportunities for summer re-
sorts as North Dakota. Its climate in
the summer is ideal and the air is
ladened with health giving ozone. Th.
nights are simply beyond compare.
The Turtle mountains have a num-
Der Of lakes that rival in beauty those
of the Adirondacks themselves. They
are clear as crystal, set like mirrors
in their frames of forest green. {
Upon their shores could be built
summer resorts rivaling those that are
famous from ocean to ocean. q
The people have been SO much in

A PROTRACTED ARBOR DAY.

Governor Sarles has designated
April q as Arbor day, and in his
proclamation urges the people to Join
in the work of planting trees and
shrubs.
So far as North Dakota is concerned,
Arbor day holds about the same rela-
ton to the necessity of tree planting
as a memorial window does to the
building in which it is placed.
The truth is that April should be
Arbor month in this state.
The value of trees in prairie state
like this is Unreasonable. AS wind
breaks for farm buildings they are the
means of modifying much of the in
convenience of farm life during the
winter. They could be utilized by the
railroads for protection against snow
drifts with far greater advantage than
the fences are now used. They would
break the monotony of the landscape
which to the newcomer especially be-
comes monotonous because of it's
sameness.
Rows of them planted at sufficient
distance from the highways would
prevent the snow drifts that often
make travel difficult if not entirely
impossible.
This state is destined to be one of
the greatest communities of homes in
the country. No other state can sup
port greater agricultural population
In proportion to it's area These
homes will be permanent, because no.
where else can be found such oppor-
funities for acquiring wealth. 1t is
therefore important to the people who
are to be the permanent citizens of
the state. that their homes be made
as beautiful and artistic as possible.
Nothing will add so much to this pur-
pose as great groves of trees.
The forests of much of this state
must be artificial, and the people must
be encouraged to plant trees, not one
day in the year, or one tree, but for a
month and in countless hundreds.
1t is certainly we'll for the schools
and colleges to take up the matter and
educate the rising generation in the
needs of forest preservation and the
identifying of the landscape And it
is well that this character of educa-
ton be presented to the student as a
practical lesson in the planting of
tree,
But planting a few in this way,
will develop and cultivate
sentiment that will be splendid twenty
years hence when the children shall
have become the men and women OF
the state.
But by that time the prairies should
be dotted with groves and the farm
homes should be set against back
ground of green.
Educate the whole people to the
Importance OF this class of public i'm
provements and let the country be set
In forest gems that will gladden. the
eye as well as improve the value of
the property as desirable homes.

THEY HAVE THEN ELSEWHERE.

Senator Berry's defeat by Gov.
Davis in Arkansas calls forth COM
ments from the press which indicate
that North Dakota is not the only
state where demagogues and character
assassins abound. The Little Rock
Gazette gives these kodak views of
Davis:
He makes the people think he is
| prosecuted for their sake, and stands
between them and opposition. He ap-
peals to the human element. He cum
ningly paints things to his liking, and
ingeniously and unscrupulously turns
them to his advantage. He continu-
ally does violence to the moral maxim
that the suppression of truth is the
suggestion of falsehood He audaci-
ously and impudently relies on the
publics lack of information about in
cidents in issue.
Whereupon the Washington Post
comments as follows:
Here is the perfect picture of the
successful demagogue No doubt it is
the picture of the Hon. Jeff Davis, of
Arkansas, and certainly it explains
everything; but no one can truly say
that it is wholly unfamiliar or that
no one excepting Mr.. Davis has ever
yet worked his way to high places by
exactly similar methods
Next, we hear that he is "surcharged
with magnetism" This means, we
fancy, that he can fire off platitudes
with an air of having just discovered
great fundamental truths; that he
charms you with ready gesture and
thrilling intonations, and then jumps
up and down with such astounding
vigor as to persuade the spectators
that he could choke an octopus with
his hands if there were only one with
in easy reach.
"He makes the people think that
he is prosecuted for their sake, and
stands between them and oppression"
So he does, no doubt; but is there any
thing new in that? Isn't our public
life fairly overcrowded with gentlemen
who employ these very methods? You
cannot turn around without humping
against someone who loves the people
better than he does his life, and whose
sole purpose is to get into some office
where he can play saviour to a reason
able salary.
How very like our own local boss
and his coadjutor, the late Mr.. Spald-
ing, Of Fargo.

Vaudeville,

Another big act that has been Sc
cured by Mr.. ]. M. Nash for the first
night of the vaudeville season at the
Metropolitan theater on Wednesday,
April 10, is "The Great Paul." the
monarch of locks, leg irons and hand
cuffs.
The scene is an exact reproduction
of a Siberian prison torture cell, Paul
Is secured in every possible manner
and he manages to escape from all
bonds and Miss Paul is discovered in
his place. This act is one of the most
sensational before the American pub
lie.
