Blacksmith and Jokesmith.

A blacksmith strikes the iron while
it is hot A jokesmith strikes the
editor while he is cool and lodges II
that worthy becomes hot forthwith
A blacksmith is sure of his wages
but with a jokesmith this is more OF
less guess work The blacksmith
makes the sparks fly and the joke
smith makes the blues fy-some
times. The jokesmith goes to school
for 20 years to become joke
smith. The blacksmith doesn't know
Greek letter from sawbuck, and
yet he gives the jokesmith pointers
on how to get on in the world. The
blacksmith blows his bellows and
the jokesmith toots his horn, but the
people don't pay any attention, unless
they feel curious. Back home" they
working citizen, but thsy wonder ii
the jokesmith isn't blamed fool
after all. Sometimes the jokesmitb
is half inclined to agree with them
The blacksmith has hard and horny
hands; the jokesmith has hard
hand, too-he can't open the pot OF
life on a bob-tail flush. The black
smith chews tobacco, spits through
his teeth, and has lot of fun. The
jokesmith has to keep his teeth clean
SO he can mingle in society and pros.
pect for Alphonse and father-in-law
jokes. The blacksmith has a sturdy
stature and strong arm. If the
jokesmith has a strong arm, it costs
him fifty to square it with the JUS
tice of the peace. When the black.
smith dies he will 60 to heaven, but
when the jokesmith dies he never will
get by st. Peter until he has ex.
plained some of the ribald jokes he
has written about that worthy gen.
tleman. Taking it all in all, the
jokesmith is small, red-peppers and
few on stalk, but the blood of the
blacksmith is full of iron and corpus
cular activity. When the latter dies.
the town lodges will weep scalding
tears upon his memory and strew the
shortcut paths to the cemetery with
daisies and myrtle and pale pink po
sizes. When the jokesmith dies the
village sexton will laboriously pull at
the tagging bell and the village
strategy board, meeting in the park.
will piously remark: well, there's
the end of bad joke!"

TRIBUTE TO LITCHARD
President Worst Mourns His Death - q
Great Loss.

A. W. Litchard, who will be re-,
membered by many as one of the lee
turers at farmers institutes during the
past two winters, died on Sept. Is, at
his home in Rushford, N. Y. Presi-
dent Worst pays him a high tribute
when he says: There are thousands
in the state who remember Mr.. Lite
had as lecture at farmers Institutes
during the past two winters. Mr.. Lite
had was singulaly devoted to the cause
of improved agriculture and the devel-
opment of better home life among far
mers, and his lectures were listened to
with great interest. Mr.. Litchard
was forceful speaker, his arguments
were logical, his reasoning profound,
and all his discourses we're the more
interesting for a natural vein of hum
or. that enlivened all his addresses.
Mr.. Litchard was a strong man in
his home community in New York.
As state senator he did much for the
agricultural interests of his state and
had even greater things planned for
the future.
1t was the purpose of our institute
board TO invite Mr.. Litchard I'd ret. m
to North Dakota during the coming
winter. But all is over. Mr.. Lite
hard life work is finished. His stir
ring appeals will be heard no more.
Of strong personal magnetism, of de-
voted christian character. having an in
tensev love for nature and her beau
ties, he seemed especially fitted for his
work in the lecture field.
Mr.. Litchard's 8 death is a positive
loss to North Dakota as we'll az to New
York and the account of it will be read
with deep regret by the thousands Of
our citizens who have listened to his
addresses. ....

Address TO Voters.

A number of people have asked me
whether I will enforce the prohibition
law of this state, if elected State g
Attorney, and believing that there are
a great many people throuhgout the
county who wish to know my inten-
tions in that respect, I consider it pro.
per to state my position on this ques-
tion in particular. In the first place,
l wish to say that believe as all law
abiding and law respecting citizens
do, that the prohibition law should be
enforced just the same as any other
law, and that the States Attorney
as public prosecutor has no more right
to ignore that law than any other
criminal statute. In fact there is less
excuse for a vioaltion of the prohibi-
tion law, than there is for some other
statutory crimes, for q man who en-
cages in the unlawful sale of liquor
does so after due deliberation and
with the positive intent to disregard
the law.
If the prohibition law Of this state
is what the people want it should he
respected and enforced and if it is not
in accordance with the wishes of the
people. they should have the remedy
within their power to amend or repeal
the law; but while the law is on our
statute books, whether the people be-
lieve in the wisdom Of it or not, it
should be enforced.
/ believe the prohibition law is
violated in Buttineau county more than
any other law, and also that there is
no excuse whatever for its non enforce
ment. The States Attorneys duties
are plain and he cannot evade them.
By his oath of Office he swears to sup
port the constitution of the State of
North Dakota and the prohibition law
is part of our constitution. When a
States Attorney knowingly allows this
or any other crime to 20 unpunished,
he violates his oath of Office and is
unit to hold Office.
Concluding, I wish to say. that if
elected to this Office shall consider
myself bound, and hereby pledge my
self to use every lawful means within
my power. to enforce the prohibition
law aud every other law on our books,
with equal rights to all and no spec.
iial privileges.

TO PURCHASE A RIVER
Duluth Sindicate of Hunters Getting Leas-
es Of Mouse River Banks.

es ofMouse River Banks.
There is report, from farmers liv.
ing. along the Mouse river in this
county, that a man from Duluth has
been getting leases of the river bank
farmers, running twenty years, Of q
strip of land along the bank.
They represent to the farmers that
q society for the protection of game
is behind the plan, and the object is
to prevent the private car hunting
parties from killing off the game. The
farmer signs the lease. giving the
Duluth parties the exclusive right to
use it for hunting purposes. and a
unit claim deed to all the wild fowl
inthe river adjoining the land. -
81 The party who gave The Courant
Information had not seen one of the
leases. and had only talked with farm
eIs who had signed ur. and they only
partly remembered what the papers
Sontained. They got the deaf nearly
completed on both sides of the river.
according to the story, when some
body started story that a syndicate
had been formed to make nice bunch
pf money out of these leases. That
story was to the effect that every
twenty rods Of the bank on each side
had been. set off as a hunting claim,
and the syndicate had already sold
about five hun lred of these twenty year
leases to the twenty 1od strips for $10O
each. In other words, they were pay
ing the farmer 81 for lease of half
mile for twenty years, and we're get
ting $500 for the same half mile from
the hunters who were to occupy the
hunting claims. The repurt says the
syndicate hal everything about ready
where they would clean up profit of
fifty thousand dollars, when counter
missionary appeared on the scene, and
told the farmers the story of how
much money the syndicate was max
ing, and instead of protecting game it
was to be used for the benefit of the
private car hunters. Now those farm
ers are making an effort to get their
lease back, and thele is much excite
ment.
IS Whatever foundation of fact there
may he for the story, it has evidently
lest nothing in its travels and, has
possibly beer multiplied several times.
With all the opportunities for hunting
that are free in the Northwest it does
not seem posi- BILE to find five hundred
people who would pay 800 for 90
lod hunting permit. AS foundation
for the whole story, there is probably a
very little fact and larger amount
of fiction.

October 30th Is the Time--The New Law
is Imperative on this Point.
The state republican committee has
issued statement containing valuable
information as to the registration Of
voters this fall. As the election draws
near the time is limited in which
voters can register and the committee
urges all voters who expect to vote at
the coming election to be registered.
Under the provisions of Section 746
Revised Codes of 1905, all voters living
in cities and villages containing 800
inhabi tans or more mus; register be-
fore being eligible to voteat the gen.
eral election to be held Nov. 6, 1905.
The registration law, which was in
force in former elections in the state
was amended and modified by the pri-
mary election law enacted two years
ago. 1t is provided in that law:
"The poll lists so kept at the pri.
mary election and delivered to the
OO0suS VI AOSAStIoUlOu 6udAA Idh0 VAO

quired and notice shall be given OF

quireL to vote at the general election
following. The second day of regis
tration is the Tuesday of the week pro-
ceeding the general election and this
year is Oct. 80. At which time the
board of registration shall meet "at
the place designated for holding the
polls for the purpose of revising. cor
recting and completing such list, and
for this purpose they shall meet at s
O'clock a. m. and remain in session
until CLOCK p. m.
Voters who did not participate in
the primaries and those who have be-
come voters since that time should see
that they are registered on Oct. 30 and
thus avoid the necessity of "swear-
ing i'm their votes on Nov. 6, 1906.
