waiting, as we'll as the luxurious fads
and fancies. Indeed, there may be
some danger Of their treating agri-
culture too much as a fad. There is
need of and there is profit in the high
est. deepest and broadest possible ed
ucation for the farmer. but there is
nobody who can so we'll afford to es-
chew visionary fads and speculations.
The science of agriculture is as truly
a science as any with which the
learned world Is concerned, but it is
pre-eminently cautious, conservative
and practical science.
Nor may it be amiss to note, not to
our national credit, that, apparently
because OF those very qualities Of ne
cessity, agriculture has not always re.
ceived the encouragement and aid
which have been given by the nation
to some other industries. Manufac-
lures and commerce have been objects
of paternal solicitude, Of stimulation
and Of protection, while agriculture
has more largely been left to hoe its
own row" and TO depend upon natural
advantages. 1t was we'll to do what
was done for those others and it
would be wellsif a generous measure
Of the same solicitude were exercised
though perhaps in different ways,
toward this greatest of all our indus
tries. There can be no more au-
spicious sign Of the times than for ag-
riculture to receive from the nation as
we'll as from persons in their individ-
ual capacities an attention proper
tionate to its magnitude and its i'm
portance.

Minot is endeavoring to secure
state normal school, and 1t is not
among the impossibilites that 1t will
be successful. That the western
portion Of the state should have some
educational institution cannot be dis
puted. The larger part of the popu-
lation is In the western half, and
while the slope has the reform school
and the penitentiary it is regretta-
BILE fact that they are used as much
by the people from the eastern coun-
ties as they are by those from the
west. The education of the young
people Of the state is the most import
ant part OF its responsibility to It's
citizens. Especially is this true of
those who are to become the teachers
OF the rising generation. That occu-
patton is no longer considered a prop.
er means of earning money during the
period when the teacher is expert
menting. They are now expected, and
in fact required, to be qualified for
the work Of developing the intellect
by understanding its nature and
needs. In word the teachers must
be qualified to do scientific teaching.
This qualification can only be Sc
cured through the medium OF the nor
NAL schools and the more of them the
state has. the better will it be pre-
pared to fulfill the obligation Of the
commonwealth to the children. The
state needs another normal school
and Minot deserves the advantage Of
the location more than any other
town In the state.

THE RECOGNITION OF AGRICUL.
,TURE.

Secretary Wilson's showing Of the
paramount magnitude Of the agricul-
tural Industry, strongly reinforced in
the Presidents message, furnishes am
pie reason for the increasing interest
which ii fen in and the increasing
study which Is given to agriculture as
"a business and science. Beyond
Question. an industry Of such dimen-
sions is worthy Of all possible inter-
est and attention. 1t is the greatest

It'is. however, a strange and para

lightly regarded; II not actually treat
ed with neglect and contempt. It is
the old, story Of men Understanding
the thing Of the possession of which
they are sure and of ranking the me-
cessities below the luxuries Of life.
Agriculture had been taken as a mat
ter Of course. In any event 1t must
keep right on. There was not in it
the fascinating element Of uncertain
ty and speculation which was in many
other things. 1t was regarded as the
very contamination Of the common
place. But people are at last learn

sage, and the danger to the free in
situations Of this country from this
source are just as great as they were
to France more than a century ago.
These waves of fanaticism may re-
act and in doing SO leave the country
where it was before, but tho more
probable thing is that once the discon.
tent with the existing order of things
is created 1t will shoulder and remain
suppressed, but in time will burst
forth with renewed energy and bring
a greater destruction.

POLITICAL DEMAGOGRY.

President Roosevelt in his annual
message to congress did more than
point out the legislation which is
needed by the country at this time.
He successfully welded the big stick
at the heads Of those so-called reform
ers who attempt to win success by
hysterical plays to the galleries. Dis
cussing this matter he said:
The sinister demagogues and fool
ish Missionaries who are always eager
to undertake such a campaign of des-
truction sometimes seek to associate
themselves with thuse working for
genuine reform in governmental and
social methods, and sometimes mas
querade as such reformers.
Moreover, while such preaching
and such agitation may give certain
notoriety to some of those who take
part in it, and may result in the tenn
porary political success of others, in
the long run every such movement
will either fail or else will provoke
violent reaction, which will itself re-
suit not merely In undoing the mis-
chief wrought by the demagogue and
the agitator, but also in undoing the
good that the honest reformer, the
true upholder of popular rights, has
painfully and laboriously achieved.
Corruption is never so rife as in
communities where the demagogue
and the agitator bear full sway, BIZ
cause in such communities all moral
bands become loosenend. ana hysteria
and sensationalism replace the spirit
OF sound judgment and fair dealing
as between man and man.
Roosevelt is not demogogue no,
can he be charged with insincerity
The American people know him too
we'll. to believe that he used these
words idly to fill space in a mes
sage which he we'll knew would be-
come a part Of our national history
and would be read and pondered by
MS fellow men century hence. There
can be no doubt but that he meant
every word which was uttered and
weighed we'll its import before he
used it.
The truth is just as he pointed out
in his message, that no reform has
ever been accomplished through the
fundamentally of agitators. Neither
do reforms among free people come
in the character of revolution. When
the first concession OF liberty was
wrested from King John at Runny-
mede, 1t was not the work of a day
nor of year. For a long time the
matter had geen growing and when
the opportune time arrived there was
nothing left for reluctant king to do
but grant the demands of the barons,
The accomplishment of our indepen-
dence was another illustration of the
same principle. The foundations of
our liberty were laid long be-
fore the common at Lexington was
drenched with the blood of the first
dead patriots. The French revolution
might be taken as the illustration of
demagogury and fanaticism in the az
fairs Of mankind rather than the evo-
luton. Fanaticism took the place of
judgment and frenzy the place of pa
triotic courage. The guillotlne was the
supreme court Of the land and the
streets of Paris and the uine-clad
wales of France ran red with the
blood Of the innocent. That condition
was the result Of the work of dema-
gogues of the Same kind as those to
whom the president refers in his mes

1t is to be hoped that the legisla-
ture will forget politics long enough
to consider and pass a road law for
the state providing for the construc-
ton Of high grade public ways leading
to the principal cities. This matter
has been discussed before in these
columns and It has been pointed out
that the construction Of good roads
from the agricultural sections into
the larger towns serves to increase
the Importance of the towns and at the
same time to save expenses for the
farmers who are enabled to reduce the
cost Of marketing their products be-
cause of the improved conditions in
the roads. 1t is true that the frozen
condition OF the roads in winter and
the solid condition during the greater
part of the summer limits the time in
which the roads need special atten-
ton. But that time is in the fall
during the wet season-when the farm
ers must use the roads most for the
marketing Of their grain. In some
parts Of the state the roads are so
bad during this time that the crops
cannot be marketed over them. Min
nesota has met the condition to some
extent by providing for the construc-
ton of certain roads according to
modern systems in different parts of
the state. The only defect is that
there is no provision for uniting the
several sections into a general sys-
:em. A similar. law with this change
would be good thing for this state,
leaving its adoption matter of local
option. 80 that 1t need not be en-
forced in the newer parts of the state
until they were sufficiently settled.
1t is decidedly amusing to see the
democratic Alex. Mckenzie trying to
get the democrats of the state to leave

urging appointments upon him is con.
cerned and then see the political War.
