Speaker Cannon'sl Dictunl.

James Creelman recently inter-
viewed Speaker Cannon for Pear
sons Magazine. to ascertain il he
thought this country was going to
the dogs, andif the statements of
pessimists we're true. The speak
5er is quoted as follows:
THE truth is, there is very lit
tie unrest in this country Just
now. 81 know how hard a few
demagogues are working to dis
credit the prosperity Of their
country, but the people are too
busy, too prosperous to make cal
amity bowling a success. This
country is not going backward; it is
going forward. The people of the
United States, whether on the
farms or in the cities, are all doing
business at better profit than
ever before. The facts show it,
and you can't get away from facts.
"Our prosperity depends upon
production and a market. The
production increases and the mark
ct increases. "Nine-tenths of the
whole production Of our people is
consumed in the United States
Something like a third Of the
people are engaged in the basic in
dustry, agriculture, and these farm
ers have become better customers of
the two-thirds of the population
engaged in industry atbetter way
es than they have known before
"You can get some idea of our
present success when you con-
slider the fact that the United
States produces about one-third Of
the civilized worlds manufactured
and agricultural products is con,
sumed by the American people
and that the comparatively small
surplus which we send to foreign
markets makes us the greatest ex
porting nation on earth"

A Steady and Strong Hand
Needed.

Neither desire to appease nor
to avenge should actuate the de.
legates who will assemble at James
town next 18th of July. A desire
to do the best thing for North Da-
kota should control. A ticket
should be placed in the field which
will guarantee a continuance of
the business like manner of con-
Quoting the states affairs. There
should be no concession which
would, in the remotest way, imperil
this most desired end. The in

surgeon is have fought a fierce and
desperate battle. The motive
which prompted that battle, SO far
as the leaders are concerned, was
furnished by selfishness. They
want the offices. They claimed
they did not. but the whole fight
shows they did, for they furnished
no other reason during a fight that
has lasted year or more for the
action taken. To yield ono iota to
them would simply be to throw
meat to the leopard. In other.
words it would be feeding the
enemy to make him strong, The
staIwarts have never been proven
wrong intheir contention that the
state had been well governed. No
disgraceful transaction has been
brought to light. Economy and
ability are uncontradictably proven
in the conduct of affairs. But to
deceive the people the leaders of
the insurgents by inference and
inuendos, sought to besmirch the
character of every leading stall
wart in the state. For this cow
ardly conduct nothing but com
plete dismantling of those people
should satisfy, and this alone will
bring responsibility to political life
in North Dakota. They want the
offices. That is all they want.
For these they, would destroy the
reputation of men who have. been
seeking all their public life to
benefit the state. They are no
better today, beaten, than they were
fighting for supremacy yester-
day. They will be good only
when put to rest. While we strong
ly urge that no vengeance be visit
ed upon them, we as strongly urge
that the electing of a straight
stalwart ticket, above reproach, be
placed in the field. Do this with
out any furry Of trumpets, with
out a word that would offend any
one. Be businesslike; do business,
and when business is done come
peaceably home. The jamestown
Convention should not know that
there was an insurgent in the
state.

applause. Twenty years is a span
Iof time, comparatively, but lit is
long enough to volutionize pub
lie sentiment on one al the most.
Important phases Of this, the
worlds greatest industrial era. A.
great political partythe greatest
|of modern times, has reversed
itself, and is to be found squarely
with the people and against the
ownership of public property by
private parties.
"A little more recently than the
event aforementioned, at the re-
quest Of President r oosevelt, Sen.
ator Spooner Of Wisconsin, once:
accounted the brilliant champion
Of corporate wealth, gave notice in
the United States Senate that he,
would submit a resolution to the
effect that no more coal and oil
lands now belonging to the gov
eminent should be sold. It was
deftly intimated by the senator
and his friends that this was
precautionary measure. 1t was to
avoid the necessity Of selling the
private property Of the coal and
oil kings, by right Of eminent do
main, should an irreconcileable
difficulty arise between them and
their employees, SO as to endanger
the public interest. The wild"
man OF twenty years ago would
have thought such a proceeding,
not only impractical. but fraught
with great danger. This item can
have no possible interest to the
readers of the Inter- Ocean, save
and except that it illustrates the
rapid growth of public sentiment
in America. The change from the
"let alone" policy Of the republican
party of twenty years ago. and this
year of our Lord, is almost tragi-
cal. 1t contradicts the oft ex-
pressed opinion that an aggressive
party must die, either with the
departure Of its issue, or when it's
issue has been chrystalized into
the laws and institutions of the
land. 1t proves the perennial pow
er of a political party. even
though touched, as is inevitable,
by the weakness Of human nature,
when that party is anchored in
the fundamental attributes Of
the heart and mind. Wrong
many times the republican party
has been, but it has always been
more right than wrong. It's
sloughing off processes have been
co-equal with it's generating pow
ers, and, like the oak on the hill
top, it proves its power to live by
its power to die. :.
The world moves. The battle
of conflicting human interests is
a superficial contest. The tide of
truth bears the contestants i'm
potent upon its bosom, and at the
fateful hour, receives them to it
self. Fortunate indeed are they
who, sinking beneath it's ample
surface, shout signal to echo for
4 little as the current moves along.
Thus the world grows better,
and thus it is that the present is
1.-THE best Of all earth's sternly re-
corded years, and thus it is that
the future must ever reveal the
halcyon fields Of mans activities.
60 to, ye who fear the world is
bent on ruin, ask the Gods for a
better stomach, lighter heart, a
better mind. Swing out upon the
waves, and know that diving is
life's evidence Of living. We are
builders Of the human paradise
!. to be.

A Model Country Home.

A representative OF the Inde-
pendent called at the James
Johnson farm near Burlington
Sunday. Without an exception
we believe this to be the best i'm
proved farm in the county. The
residence is practically new and
was put up at a cost of a good
many thousand dollars, while the
barn is immense, and built in a
very substantial manner.
Mr.. johnson has a very large
farm, three hands being employ
ed. Haying is now the order OF
the day at the Johnson farm,
and several hundred tons will be
put up. Several hundred head
OF cattle, mostly thoroughbreds,
are kept on this farm and be-
sides $50 acres are cultivated
this year. Mr.. Johnson S garden
is a success. Nearly 200 quarts
OF currants have already been
picked, and the bushes fairly
groan under the weight of the
fruit yet.
When Mr.. Johnson's duties at
his law Office in Minot are over,
nothing gives him such great
pleasure as to drive to his coun-
try home where every modern
convenience is provided. He
takes especial pride in his fine
library.
Mr.. johnson started in to
carve out a career in North d.
kota in an early day and we'll
has he succeeded.

PORTAL HOME TALENT
PLAYS At FlAxT0n

The Portal Home Talent Theat-
rical Co. played Uncle Rube''
to a full house in Hovland &
Swennes' opera house at Flaxton
Friday evening Of last week. The
troup consists of some of Portals
best young people and they GER
tainly all acquitted themselves of
their tasks most creditably. Es-
pecially did Mr.. H. F. Turner
play the role of Uncle Rube" to
perfection. Miss Marguerite
DAILY made a charming millionaire
sweetheart and to watch Miss
Louise Fossum as Widow Bum
capture Uncle Rube would make
you think that she had never
done anything else in her life,
and as for Taggs, the tenement
house girl, none could have played
it better than did Mrs. Ethel
Shanks. Lack of space forbids
the mentioning in detail the play
ing of the rest of the Company,
who were T. R. White, j. A.
Potvan, H. w. Gill, G. H. Wicks,
A. NJ. DAILY, Louis GIFTS and E.
w. Landt which latter gentleman
looked very imposing as the
officer of the law. The play was
rendered for the benefit Of the
Catholic church at Portal and is
said to have netted something
like $50.

CHECKS HOSPITAL
Creed Caldwell Files Injunction Suit Against Hospital Commissioners.

Chancellor J. M. Elliott Wednesday afternoon granted temporary ln- function restraining the hospital com nissioners from proceeding with the work of building a county hospital in Jefferson county.
 The petition, which was filed by Creed Caldwell, states that the hos pital commissioners, F. J. kelwln, c E. Lytle and Wiltshire Riley, pur- pose and are undertaking to purchase land in the city of Pine Bluff and to build. equip and maintain a county hospital to be paid for out Of the general revenue funds of the county. He also alleges that to do this would reouire the expenditure of S35,000 or s40,0O0: that he is informed that the commission is contemplating the pur- chase of a parcel of land on East Sixth avenue and Missouri street upon which to locate the hospital, at a cost of about S4,500, and that the com
 
 missioners have employed an arehi- tect to prepare plans for such build ing.
 The petitioner alleges that the acts cited are illegal. and shows that the last levying court appropriated only s500 for building and maintaining a hospital but not for buying land. He claims that his appropriation was il- legal because at the time it was made the levying court had already appro- nriated more than 90 per cent of the revenue of the county. The petition CT therefore prays that temporary restraining order be issued restrain inc the commissioners from paving or appropriating any money out Of

The Sultan of Turkey is notorlansiS known as sthe sick man of Europe, nevertheless the willy Turk always manages to keep the powers emoroll= ed and the diplomats at Contantnople busy watching his willy movements. The strensth of the Turk in Europe is due to the jealousy between the powers and this the Sultan knows or otherwise the detestable Turk wou1d be driven out of continental Europe and to the south of the Medi, terranean. sea, where he belongs.
 Recently the country was regaieo tv the controversy between Great Brit ain and Turkey over the assertlSe
