This thing of having a government
rain gauge to tell you exactly how
much it rains spoils the fun of a
shower" said the old gentleman who
was reared in the country, to the Man
About Town today in the Hotel Da.
cotah. When l was a boy after a
rain everybody gathered down at the
postoftice to talk it over.
There must have been somewhere
about two inches and half of mois-
ture dropped, cause nv wife left
washpan out and it was rained full.
OF course it was flaring some at the
edges, which might make it look like
it rained more'n EN- it really did, be-
gan one.
Then there was the farmer whose
way of judging rainfall was BY
two gallon jar that sat just few
feet from the corner of the house. He
always prefaced his figures. OF
course you cant exactly always tell
about that jar, for it was settin' pur-
~ close to the caves and some might
have got bowed into it from the
roof
There was a dairyman who al
ways tried to tell how much water
fell by milkcans that were narrower
at the mouth than any place else. His
estimates were always smaller than
his neighbors. and the only way he
could explain the discrepancy was by
the fact that the cloud seemed to
break when it got right over his farm.
But If his figures were conservative
there was an old ranchman who lived
up on Sand Creek, about three miles
away. that made up for them He
never got down to the postoffice until
about eleven o'clock.
1T was the 'dadbobdest rain | ever
saw he always began. 'Gullywasher.
Soslin' drownder, toad killer of a
rain
1T always rained more up on his
ranch than anywhere else in the
whole country. His gauge was
tight bottomed wagon box three feet
wide and twelve feet long. After a
thunder storm that lasted about two
hours. one morning. he came in an.
said that wagon box was rained clean
full. Fourteen inches in two hours.
That established record that hasn't
been beat yet to my knowledge. AS
a further verifcation of the aeon
rateness of his rain gauge he said
that the prairie dog holes in the low
places were spouting water form a
foot to foot and q half high when
he came along"

THE CLEAR CUT lssUE.

The position of the democratic party
was succinctly outlined by Mr.. Burke
In recent speech when he stated that
his position upon public questions wHs
to be found in the democratic plat
form adopted at Minot. In the early
stages of the campaign the public was
assured by the democratic manage
ment that it was not the accomplish.
ment OF partisan purposes which was
sought, but the elevation of a man
to the governorship who was better
than his fellows and who was so
politically Immaculate that he was the
only man who could fill the governors
chair without bringing disgrace upon
the state.
1t was recited that he was more
honest than other men and that he was
better qualified than they for the posi-
ton. But the people soon discovered
that while he was a man worthy of
the respect Of his neighbors, and stood
we'll in his profession, he was not any
better than thousands of others and
not so we'll qualified for the position
as his opponent.
Unfortunately for Mr.. Burke as
man, his party's leaders had set him
in the midst of artificial surround
ings and he failed to make good. He
was found to be an ordinary man not
very we'll qualified for the duties of
the position which he sought.
Under these conditions there was
nothing for him to do but resort to
political issues. The multitudes no
longer spread branches in his path
nor shouted hosannas in his praise.
The only thing left him was the demo-
cratic platform and at a late hour he
has stepped squarely upon that, and
the issue resolves itself into party
contest. Burke now seeks his election
upon the clear cut proposition that he
is q democrat, and that his party can
better administer the affairs of North
Dakota than can the republicans. They
now say in substance that the republi-
cans are not sufficiently honest and
virtuous to elect one of their mem
beers governor and ask them to help
elect a democrat.

AS a member OF the State
Board of Equalization it was
forcibly presented to me that the
corporations OF Minnesota were
not paying their just and equitable
share of taxes. Accordingly the
board raised the valuation on sew
eral corporations. The Rapid
Transit Co. of Minneapolis and st.

poration, had its holdings raised
20 per cent. Carnegie had his
