tells of recent freak of lightning that
is very interesting. During a heavy
storm, he was standing at a window,
watching the lightning from cloud that
was exceedingly local in area. A bolt
struck large tree in his yard, coming
down the same until it reached a wire
clothesline, where it switched off and fol
lowed the metal to two other trees
which were connected with the line. The
latter were both considerably torn where

Pulse of the Press
The Herald Hedging.
bismarck Tribune. i

The Herald at Grand Forks, in it's
political troubles, becomes more than
customarily inconsistent and illogical.
A historical outburst in the Herald
of Tuesday declares, first, that the
regulars have not carried the majority
of delegates to the state convention,
or at least thai. there is :, q well
grounded suspicion, that the regulars
will not control the state convention. :"
Following upon this statement is an
other paragraph or tWotOf tWaddie and
gush, recounting the sdirefu1s. things
that will happen eif, the regulars re-
dominates Governor Sarles,a not the
least significant statement being an
intimation that the Herald will bolt
the republican ticket at the first op-
portunity if the ticket named does not
suit the editor Of the Herald in all
particulars. 10 difficult to reconcile
the HeraId's bold statements that the
insurgents will control the convention
with it's hysterical abuse of Governor
Sarles and its threats az to what will
happen II be is renoniinated by the
regulars! How are. the regulars going
to nominate any candidate at all when
the Herald claims to have the ma
jority of the delegates to the conven-
ton in the .insurgent camp? The
Herald. is laundering along in its
editorial columns like the charging Of
fretted rhinoceros or hippopotamus.
It iss fairly running amuck with
threats. cajolery, abuse and rage. But
1t is to be noted that the Herald has
discontinued its scare heads claiming
{ The, convention for the insurgents. AS
the Tribune predicted a51eEsdays ago,
the Herald is admitting the victory Of
the stalwarts gradually but not at all
gracefully. The hysterical rage Gf the
Herald is conclusive proof OF It's hon
est belief in the defeat of the in
surgent movement. Nothing else is
necessary.

tercourse, which must either be adopt

tains with our people or the United
States will lose all sales of moment
European competitors are getting the
best of us in South American trade,
and they are doing this simply through
the introduction of commodities upon
lines suited to the local trade of the
South Americans, by the close connec-
ton of banking facilities, by the best
possible steamship connections be-
tween Argentina and Great Britain
and between Chill and Germany, and
finally by close study by the ex-
porters of the European countries
named of the needs of the South Amer
lean trade, the matter of exchange ia
cilities, the packing and shipping of
goods. credits and kindred matters
which enter largely into all ques-
tions of international trade.
Naturally the exporters of this ma
ton are directly interested in this
question, and they will doubtless be
ready to take advantage of any author
itative suggestions made showing how
they can regain lost ground in South
American trade. There is good deal
Of satisfaction, therefore, over the an
nouncement that when Secretary Root
goes south next month to attend the
pan-American conference at Rio Jan
Giro, he will extend his journey so as
to visit practically all the nations of
South America, on both the east and
the west coasts, thus giving him a
chance to personally meet many of the
leading representative citizens and
gain fund of valuable information
regarding the trade needs of the peo-
! pie of those sections.
Mr.. Root is recognized throughout
the business world as an exceedingly
able and far-seeing statesman. His
trip alone will be valuable in cement
ing a closer friendship for this nation
among the people of the various coun-
tries where he will stop to exchange
greetings and the customary cour-
tesies. But aside from this he will
doubtless examine into the trade con-
ditions in the several nations which he
will visit, and return to this country
in the autumn prepared to make re-
port that will be Of genuine benefit
to the exporters of this country. In
fact he will be in position on his re-
turn to tell the American people just
what they must do to regain and re-
tain the share of South American
trade that rightfully belongs to us, and
which at the present time we are not
getting. It will be chance for Sec
rotary Root to distinguish himself,
and it goes without saying he will not
neglect the opportunity.
