Acreage Under Cultivation.

mately one-ffth of the states domain Is
it any wonder that the North Dakota
farmer is satisfied with his lot? There
was a time when the state was a gold
mine for the Eastern money lenders, and
when they had millions invested in farm
mortgages that were paying them 10 and
forever in North Dakota. The farmers ns
have paid off their mortgages. They have
deposited their money In the banks of
the state until the latter are crammed
to repletion.. The man who wants to Dor
row. money on his North Dakota property
now can get all he wants at per cent,
and so high has the value of North Da-
kota security become in the East that the
big corporations there are hustling for
state business at the lower rate.
With the increase Of railway mileage
in the state, which is now going on at a
surprising rate, its prosperity is certain to
be tremendously enhanced during the
roads that traverse the state are extend
ing their feeders SO that in a few years
time there will not be section Of the
state that is not close to a railway. AS
fast as these lines are extended towns are
spring1ng up like mushrooms, and ele-
<vators and banks are being established
all along the lines. Branch lines of road
extend themselves fifty and sixty miles
into a new country. and immediately

have conducted campaign Of education
throughout the country and have done
much to inform the people Of other states
Of what North Dakota mas to offer them.
They have been the direct means of
bringing many thousands to the state
and in so doing have wisely builded for

Mr. BRYANs STAR,

Entirely apart from all partisan as
poets 1t is a fact receiving public at
tention and worthy of it that Mr..
Bryan is looming larger on the hoPi-
zon. The impression is distinctly and
rapidly gaining ground that his star
is in the ascendant.
Whatever may be the cause,
whether mainly in the march of events
or in Mr.. Bryan's development. or in
both the man and the circumstances,
the evidences are multiplying very
swiftly lately that there has been a
material change in the attitude of the
public toward him and that the change
has been in his favor. To say that he
is taken both more seriously and more
tolerantly than in his earlier appear
ances may not describe the whole
change of public attitude. but sug-
gests some phases of 1t.
His sudden aDparition as a conspic-
uous availability for his party's presi-
Dental nomination. not only eliciting
acclaim in various state conventions,
but also the welcoming recognition of
party leaders of the type of Henry
Watterson and Ex-Governor Francis,
heretofore not friendly to him. with
other notable signs of the favor Of
many diverse elements. may not have
permanent and decisive significance,
but 1t certainly Indicates the growing
~
and relations. Nothing OF the sort
was anticipated within the lines of his
party when. as its twice defeated
candidate. he waited for the future.
But there is no mistaking the disposi-
ton of candid observers generally,
looking independently OF partisan in
terests, to give more thoughtful atten-
ton to Mr.. Bryan's movements and
prospects.

WHO WOULD PAY THE COST

The question of meat inspection and
legislation seems now to have sifted
down so far as differences remain to
certain minor details Of extent and
scope, and provision for defraying the
cost. The Nebraska Stock Growers
association, at its meeting just con-
cluded, adopted resolutions recogniz-
ing the great injury and damage suf-
fered by the live stock industry by rea-
son of the Chicago stock yards ex-
posures, and emphasizing the necessity
of speedy action to avert further dam
age and to leave no room for criticism
of packing house methods. The res
olutions, in addition, declare that Eve,
as stock growers, especially object to
that provision of the bill which would
levy the cost of animal and meat in
spection upon the packers. Govern
ment inspection of food products is for
the cost should fall equally upon all
who are benefited The cost. as pro-
vided in the Beveridge bill, will event
.ually fall upon the live stock growers
and permit more tribute to be levied
upon an industry already depressed"
The stock growers have a right to
object to anything that would add new
burdens to those they are already car
rying and there is no doubt but that
the packers. II compelled to shoulder
the cost of inspection in first instance,
will attempt to unload upon others
along the line of least resistance. The
natural expectation would be that they
would seek to recoup themselves from
the consumer by raising the price of
dressed meat and by-products of an
imal slaughter. The packers, how
ever, have had enough experience to
know that raising the price to the con-
sumner means restriction of demand
and that II would be easier to take
part, II not all. of the inspection cost
off the stock growers who. when they
have their animals ready for market,
cannot bubble long about the selling
price. The cost Of inspection might
possibly be divided between the con-
sumers and the stock growers, but we
may be sure the packers would get out
from under If any feasible way could
be found.
The undeniable fact that the Incl
dent of this tax would be shifted no
matter how levied is the strongest
argument in favor of having the gov
eminent provide for defraying the cost,
in whole or in part, out of the national
treasury, whose revenues come from
so many sources that the burden
would be almost universally distrib-
uted in the first place without unduly
Weighing down any one particular
| class.

ooMMENC EMENT IDEALS.

In an address to sweet girl gradu-
ates at Washington last week Presi-
dent Roosevelt took occasion to criti-
else the type of orations frequently
delivered to graduating classes,
which gives an ideal so fantastic that
those listening to 1t listen with a
merely intellectual pleasure and with
out the slightest intention In real life
of trying to realize It,"
The president proceeded to argue
that to preach an ideal of that kind
does no good, but on the contrary does
positive harm. for it is an evil thing
to teach people that precept and prac-
tice have no close relation. The mo-
ment that any person grows to believe
that the abstract conception of con-
duct is not in any real way to be APP
preached in actual life. that person
has received serious harm" The
president went on to caution his hear
ers in forming life ideals for the fu-
ture that the only possible way to be
ready to meet a great crisis is by doing
all the ordinary humdrum work-a-day
duties as those work-a-day duties arise,
and incidentally cited a number Of
illustrious examples from among the
distinguished men who sat around
him on the platform.
What the president says about out
of-reach ideals is to a certain extent
in point, but that his criticism will put
an end to the commencement grafton,
picturing a sky-scraping pinnacle at
which members of the graduating
classes should aim their ambitions. is
hardly to be expected. Ideals do much
in stimulating persistent effort In life.
The ideal must not be so far away as
to discourage the hope of some time
attaining or approaching 1t. but II
must always be far enough away to
keep the desire for progress alive. To
reach an ideal with no other ideal left
to strive for would produce mental
and physical stagnation. Better to
have ideals too lofty to be attainable
than to have them too low, or to have
no ideal at all.
The commencement season is the
time when beautiful pictures of noble
life are drawn for the inspiration of
youth, and in all probability as each
commencement time rolls around the
same idealistic orations will be heard
unchanged except, perhaps, for touch
ing constantly loftier and loftier
heights

STATE AND MUNICIPAL INSPECTION.

The inevitable consequence of the
action of the administration with ref
erence to meat inspection must be
state and municipal legislation for
stricter supervision of the whole sub
ject, in addition to whatever extension
ity.
The power of the several states In
the field is practically unlimited. The
power of the national government is
limited to meat offered, or at most in
tended, for interstate or foreign com
merce. The drawing of statute even
for inspection of meats to be shipped
across state or international boundary
lines, to say nothing of inspection of
slaughter places and methods of prep
aTation, is complicated with many con-
stitutional questions. There is no
question whatever of the plenary
power of state to regulate every de-
tail of the process Of handling meat
from hoof TO mouth" and without
any regard to it's consumption,
whether in the same state or in some
other state or foreign country.
The fact is beginning to appear and
will be more forcefully impressed
upon the public mind that heretofore
the power to regulate this industry
has been least effectively applied pre-
eisely where it has been amplest.
Nearly every state has inspection laws
on its statute books and has delegated
extensive authority TO the municipal
tiles, but it is common knowledge that
such laws even where their provis-
ions are satisfactory, have been loosely
and inadequately enforced and In a
multitude OF instances they have been
dead letter. In a few of the large
cities a fair degree of supervision of
slaughter OF live stock and prepare
ton and quality of meat may have
been secured, but in the smaller cities
and towns there has been for the most
part practically no real inspection. II
II be true that many of the obnoxious
conditions at Chicago are beyond reach
OF the national inspection law rs it
stands. or not within national 1uris-
diction at all. the fact remains that
not a single one of them is beyond
reach of the police power Of the state.
They have come into existence simply
through public NEGLECT to exert that
indisputable power.
The eettainty that national control
Of meat in interstate and foreign com
meree will be made more stringent
than II has heretofore been will COM
