1t is too bad that more of the
farmers in the neighborhood of
Bemidji could not have come in
for the farmers institute, held at
the opera house yesterday. The
institute is one of the best places
in the world for the farmer to
get practical pointers and hints
about his work, and is we'll
worth the days time it takes,
and the trouble of coming into
town. The institute is new un-
dertaking in Bemidji and doubt.

OFFERS EIGHT SUGGESTIONS.
How to Get Rid of Discomfort and
Be on "TenabIe Ground"

For the epidemic of discomfort" the
Wall Street Journal offers the following
prescription:
First-Get rid of the bosses.
Second-Get rid of the grafters in high
finance.
Third-Iuspire more wholesome re.
spect for the law by enforcing it equally
upon rich and poor.
Feurth-Establish generally policy OF
square dealing in business.
Ffth-Enact laws providing for ballot
reform and publicity of campaign expenses.
Seventh-Compela all companies, especial
ly those engaged in interstate business, to
file tn repoerts of their financial condition
with the department of commerce and la
Dor once or twice year, with the provis-
ion made to Insure honest bookkeeping and
honest accounting.
Eighth-Establish Federal regulation of
railway rates.

Don't Forget The Boys and Girls.

If any of the boys on the place the
girls, too, for that mstter-show p.
piece of ground and some seeds, and
encourage them to have a garden of
their own. They will get a great deal
of pleasure out of the work. Every day
they will be learning something that
may be of great benefit to them in lat
er life. If the boy grows a few vege-
tables tor sale this year, next year he
will no doubt be anxious to grow more,
and the first you know you will have
an enthusiastic young gardener in the
family. Encourage the young folks OF
the family to make themselves useful
and self-supporting by learning how to
do something. and doing it well-Eben

WHO WILL TRY BLACKBURN7
Neither Judge Boyd or Judge
Pritchard Can With Propriety
Try the Case.

The Washington correspondent of the
Asheville Gazette-N News says:
Washington, March .6-It is reported
that Mr.. Blackburn's attorneys have
succeeded in securing the indefinite
hold-up of District Attorney Holton's
nomination. 1t is now believed Judge
Bynum will appear before the sub-com-
mittee of which Foraker is chairman,
and oppose Mr.. Holton' confirmation.
An inspector has been instructed to
Investigate the situation at Greensboro
and until he reports no action will be
taken concerning Mr.. Frazier's nomina-
ton for postmaster.
There has been much talk here to the
effect that it may be necessary, owing
to the peculiar conditions which OBJ
tain, to go out of the state for a Judge
to try the Blackburn case. It was re-
ported this afternoon, however, that
Judge Purnell would be asked to try
the case, and il is believed he would be
acceptable.
The statement 10 made that neither
Judge Pritchard nor Judge Boyd can
with any degree of propriety, preside
at the trial. Judge Boyd's letter to
Judge Pritchsrd in which he gave it as
his legal opinion that there was no vio-
lation of law in the offense with which
Mr.. Blackburn stands charged, is so
embarrassing that he could not we'll
preside during the trial, and Judge
Pritchard, who admits having commit
ted the same offense, though with inno-
cent knowledge, could not with pro-
priety sit during the case"

CONGRESSIONAL ASPIRANTS.
Said to be Three Candidates
Crawford, Hewitt and Gudger.

The presence in Asheville and Bun
combe every semi-occasionally of Will
liam T. Crawford of Haywood county,
formerly representative in congress
in this district, and the avowed candi-
dacy of Mr.. Crawford for the congress-
ional nomination this year, gives rise to
the belief that the contest for congress
sional honors will be more spirited this
time than for years past. There are now
three declared candidates for the nomi.
nation, Congressman Gudger, Mr.. Craw-
ford and Frank r. Hewitt. 1t is said
that there will be Others. 1t is believed,
however. that the real fight will be
among the three named and that it will
therefore be q three-cornered contest.
It is declared that the politicians favor
the nomination of Mr. Crawford. 1t is
known that his presence here has had
TO do with his candidacy and likewise
that he has been in conference over the
district with the party leaders and those
designated as politicians. Mr.. Gudger
will make the fight for denomination on
his record as a member from this dis
trict. Mr.. Hewitt poses as the business
mans candidate and there is little doubt
but that he will draw largely from the
conservative and commercial elements
of the democratic party in the tenth
district.
Although the congressional conven-
tion will probably not be held until
some time in June or perhaps later the
campaign will not open long before that
time in 80 far as the candidates are con-
cerned. In fact the campaign is now
on. It is being conducted in a quiet
and unobstentatious manner. but never
theless effectively. The supporters oi
the candidates are not idle. Mr.. Craw.
ford is in the main conducting his owr
campaign He is getting out among
the "boys.n He is renewing old ac-
-quaintences and makipgenew ones. Mr..
Gudger when here few weeks ago ex-
pressed himself as confident of securing
denomination. It is understood that
Mr.. Hewitt is making gains IN the far
western counties and that he will come
to Buncombe, his home county. with
strong support and healthy vote pledg'
ed to his candidacy.
The republicans in the meantime are
doing little talking. They have trou'
bles nearer home" and are letting the
congressional situation take care of it
self for the time being. Thus far the
only republican candidate mentioned il

republican nominee.-Gazette-News.

leaders are for MIR. Crawford be true
his nomination is foregone conclusion

him and will do so again.

THE UNCERTAINTY OF POLITICS
No Telling When Wheels Of PoIiti.
ticaI Band Wagon May Grind
a Man to Pieces.

The fate of the politician is as treach-
erous as the sea. There is never much
assurance of anything. Political popu-
larity, like riches, has wings, and you
can never know when the huzZas and
plaudits will give place to criticism and
ostracism.
One thing that brings TO our mind
more clearly than ever before the in
stability of popularity is the report OF
the ignominous defeat of Congressman
Ohio. He has been a member of con.
gress since the forty-ninth with the ex.
ception of the ffty-second congress.
For twenty years he has represented his
sequently knowing his past popularity
it is with feeling somewhat tinged
with regret and sorrow, that we heard
the other day of his absolute defeat
The old man was unable to carry even
his own county.
For years Mr.. Gosvenor has been one
of the guiding spirits in the national
congress, and this sudden reversal OF
political fortune must surely go hard
with the old man.
AS we stated in the beginning, it Is
impossible to know when the wheels
of the political band wagon, that have
born man for time will turn sudden
lY and grind him beneath them in the
dust.
This is, however, one of the most un.
expected reVersals we have heard Of in
some time, lest it be in the case of the
veteran Joe Blackburn of Kentucky.
We cannot but feel sorry for both
Blackburn and Gosvenor, to be dethron-
ed and forgotten in the fall time of their
public careers. 1t all teaches the un-
certainty of political prosperity.-Char-
lotte News. - !

The contractors, here, as matter OF
fact, have simply got all the work they
can handle, and there is practically no
idle labor in the town.
Greenville, S. c., is now supposed to
be enjoying boom, and our well-kuown
fellow townsman, Professor Garland,
just returned from q business trip to
that city, states there Is no comparison
between the number of new buildings
going up in that town and our beautiful
mountain city. The truth of the matter is
that as Hendersonville's advantages are
becoming better known to the outside
world, people realize that nowhere in
the entire South will they 6nd town
combining the advantages and oppor-
tunities presented here. The city is
growing and growing rapidly, and all
we need, as Judge Justice and Solicitor

our citizens, 10 put Hendersonville
where she of right belongs, in the front
rank of North Carolina cities. There
are many new enterprises now under

licltor Spainhour, "High Point has q
hundred furniture factories. She gets
her finest lumber from right her, makes

to you to buy!" But this condition of
