JUDGE DlSpfNSES JUSTICE AT 81

What do you think of Judge who

and actively dispenses justice when
he has passed his 91st birthday?
That is Justice Chas. Field, one
of the kindliest and most able gen.
tlemen in the country, who is on
the bench at Athol, Mass.
He was presidential elector in
the time of Lincoln.
In June of this year he disposed

thing like this: Morning, oatmeal

KICKS FROM
FARMERS

Green Bluff farmers had their
inning few days ago in protesting
against an assessment of $50 per
acre for their farm lands and ask
ing for a reduction to $40, and this
morning the owners of Greenacres
land came flocking to the court
house. Because the value of land
under the Greenacres ditch varies
in price and value there was no
schedule per acre for the tract, but
each property owner was eager to
get a reduction. r -
Captain j. G. McClelland got in
with request for exemption on the
Ondawa Inn property as that of a
benevolent and charitable institu-
ton. D. X. Mcdonald, as agent for
a number of pieces of farm proper
ty, also entered protest against the
assessment Of prairie land east of
the city.

GETTING READY ON THE FARM.

This is the time Of preparation for
the coming season ON the farm. Not
only must the plans for the year be
matured, but the progressive farmer
is now busy in getting everything
about the farm in shape for the rush
of work that follows the opening of
spring.
Most important of this advance work
on the farm is the preparation of the
seed for the spring planting.
So much has been said and written
on the Importance of this feature of
farm work that it would seem that
nothing remains.
But with all this preaching that has
been done. there are yet a few farm
ers who consider the matter fad
and who persist in planting seed that
must of necessity cause crop failures.
Then there is the man who never
looks after his machinery until the
time for using 1t is at hand and thus
delays his spring work while waiting
for repairs. and consequently getting
his crop in several days behind the
season.
Worse than these is the man who
keeps his horses in such condition
during the winter that they are not
able to do the work. and drag through
the spring work unable to do half the
amount they should.
These farmers are found in many
communities, and while they have a
perfect right to farm in any manner
they please. the character of their
work is a serious reflection upon the
people of the state.
The stranger who comes in the
state for the purpose Of seeking a To-
cation who is so unfortunate as to
come in contact with one of this class
will be unfavorably impressed with
the character of the country. .
He would know at a glance that the
conditions which surround such farms
are indicative of anything but pros
perity, and seeming results rather than
causes they conclude at once that it
is the country which produces this
class of agriculturalists and not the
agriculturalists themselves.
In this way they are an injury to the
community, and should be encouraged
to get into the class Of progressive
people who have made North Dakota's
fame.

THURSDAY EVENING. MARCH 20, 1906

WINGED that unless their views were
adopted and given legislative sanction,
the destruction of our institutions
would follow. We have reached a
period now where public opinion in re-
gard to certain topics has developed to
condition corresponding closely in
character to that which prevailed in
regard to the questions mentioned. It..
has, to considerable extent, been
artificially produced, and much of it
will in time doubtless prove to have
been as ill-considered. possessing as
little solid foundation, as evanescent,
and as little worthy of being given
legislative form, as then.
Legislation under the whip and spur
of popular clamor seldom turns out to
tie judicious or use\ll. 1t should, es-
pecially where large interests and es-
tablished institutions and methods are
involved, be the result of painstaking
investigation and careful, deliberate
consideration and discussion, and no.
where does the wisdom of the found
ers of the government more conspicu-
ously appear than in providing body
less amenable than the lower branch
of the legislature to hasty popular
judgment, and intended to make such
consideration and discussion possible
and effective.-Washingt Post.

What He Would Pay.

At the University club banquet a
night or two ago Secretary Wilson of
the department of agriculture told
about the greatness of the American
hen and eulogized the farmer as the
producer of the nations wealth. He
said he is looking for men to help him
in the work of investigation.

cover plant that will bind desert
sands together so that the winds won't
shift them, or who will tell me how to

PUBLIC OPINION.

In connection with the loud and in
sistent demand for immediate and
drastic legislation in regard to GER
tain topics now agitating the country,
IL is we'll to bear in mind the shifting
and evanescent character. as not in
frequently evinced in our history, of
public opinion. All the world was
ahocked by the assassination of Nc
Nnley, and horror and indignation
were universal. In New York, where
the crime was committed, hanging is
the penalty for murder, but In some
states there Is no death penalty, and
there was an immediate demand on
all sides for federal legislation that
would protect those holding high Of
fee. especially the president. The
press took it up everywhere; 1t was
talked about and preached about, up
and down the land, and after much
discussion following a message of the
president urging prompt action, both
houses of congress passed bills con-
tanning provisions that did not har-
monte. Conferences ensued without
reaching an agreement, and in short
time the bills died, and the subject
dropped completely out of the public
mind, and is now never referred to.
There have been many burning ques-
lions of which the Same thing is true.
