champion of good government-every-
body believes in and wants good gov
ernment-always have and always
will. The Evening Times will always
be found strenuously advocating re-
form-where reform is most needed.
1t hasn't any patience, however, with
hypocrites who are just now loudly
shouting for reform in state politics
while at the same time are reeking
with plumber derived by an unlawful
combination formed to loot the state
treasury. In this connection will Boss
Winship deny that he signed an agree
ment to give certain other publishers
and printers in the state certain per-
centage Of the gross amount of the
state printing allotted to the Grand
Forks Herald in the years 1901 and

ed in the proper season.
During The winter season there is
much talk on drainage, but when the
busy season comes on this is neglected
or forgotten and next year the
campaign of education must be re-
sumed It Is true that the drainage
question is a large ore and that the
expense of the undertaking would be
a heavy burden for years. But some
thing must needs be done else the rich
lands of the valley will in truth be-
come a desert.
One of the influential papers of the
valley suggests that it be converted
into dairying country. This sugges-
ton has some meritorious features.
In the first place it would to great
extent do away with the need of drain
age. and this in a sense meets the
whole trouble, but it does not relieve
the land of the source of the trouble.
II the valley be converted into
vast dairying section it would in
sense diversity the farming interests
of this state. but not in the manner
advocated BY the practical farmers of
the country. AS diversificaton is now
understood it does not mean the turn
ing of any one section of country over
exclusively to any particular branch
of husbaDdry, but mixing of the
several branches on the same farm,
so that one will work into and assist
the other
There are many bi-products of the
dairy which should have nearby
market in order to BE-. converted into
money, and this is one of the things
| which unfortunately we do not have
If there were two or three good
manufacturing towns in the territory
| contributory to the valley, there would
be no trouble in dispcsing of much of
the materials which really make the
profits
1t is indeed doubtful if it is advis-
able to convert the entire valley into
dairying country. The crops which
must Of necessity be grown to keep
the immense herds of cattle would
meet the same obstacles that now con-
front the farmers of the valley in the
raising Of wheat The moisture would
interfere with the planting and the
crops would be decidedly uncertain
When they did fail there would be
more trouble than is even now ex-
perienced, because the crop failure
would mean to a large extent the
abandonment of the dependent industry
also.

his constituents. Two years ago on
his tour he was invited by farmer to
dine. The farmers wife, who was
having cabbage and pork for dinner,
became SO excited because of the high
position of her guest that she allowed
the cabbage to burn. I'll have to
apologize for the cabbage" she an
nounced at the meal. "Oh, don't do it."
said the senator. Of there's any one
thing ! do like it is to have my cab
bage burned just a little" Last year

dinner with constituent he found
cabbage burned just a little bit on
the table. and had to eat as if he en-

SPALDING'S RECORD.

The connection of ex-Representative
Spalding with the infamous salary
grab while he was serving in the ma
tiOnal Legislature is creating consider
able interest among the voters of this
state who are demanding facts and
reasons for the charges the party dis
ruptionists are making The people
have reached the point where they
demand clear cut facts and specific
statements, not inuendos and insinua-
tons.
In this matter they are inquiring
into the record made by these self
styled reformers. and in doing 80
have discovered that even with the
mantle Of charity they cannot cover
some of the records Of these demo-
insurgent leaders.
Mr.. Spalding's record while In con-
gress is public property and a matter
Of concern to those whom he now
vainly seeks to lead politically. II
there we're nothing in that record ex-
cept his vote to admit Canadian wheat
into this country free of duty to COM
pete with the products of our own
fields and reduce the price Of North
Dakota wheat to that OF Canada, II not
to entirely destroy our market, the
people of this state would need to con-
slider long before they could afford
to trust him in position where
he might not only be required to vote
upon that question but upon others
Of a similar character.
The price of wheat affects every
farmer in this state and the admis-
sion Of free wheat from Canada would
ruin the market and the farmers at
the same time. Mr.. spalding's record
on this matter is public property and
the men who toll through the summer
to grow crop Of wheat will not be
caught by his pretensions Of reform in
order that he may again be in posi-
ton to vote in the interests Of the
milling trust.
Nor is this all. While 1t does not

Of this state, IT IL worth noting that
