A NERITED TRIBUTE.

The reception rendered to Senator
H. c. Hansbrough by the citizens of
Devils Lake and Ramsey county to-
day, a necessarily brief account of
which appears elsewhere in these
columns, and which was participated
in by the residents of Ramsey county
irrespective of race, creed or political
party affiliations, was of so gen.
erous nature as to most effectively
refute the calumnies of his detractors
among that portion of the state press
that has been perniciously active in
asserting that he was without honor
among his home people.
That the senator possesses the re-
gard and esteem of the people of his
home city and county in degree that
brand him as being easily the first
citizen in their estimation is amply evil
denced by the spontaneous and hearty
ovation rendered him on that occasion,
the very nature of which is such as
to amply repay him for his tireless
labors in their behalf as we'll as for
his strenuous efforts for the welfare
of every section of the state.
No man in public or private life in
the history of North Dakota has met
with such a generous welcome on his
home coming, and certain it is that
none has been more deserving Of it.

tory to all these conditions is task
from which experienced legislators
would have shrinked. With a consti-
tituency swayed by passion and know
ing nothing but the wrongs which they
suffered at the hands of the car and
his government. as illiterate as child
rem and fired with religious bigotry.
the task before the duma was stupen-
dous.
Unfortunately the members, those
who We're from the ranks where edu-
cation prevailed. were inexperienced
in the ART OF making laws, and while
BILE, they We're venturing upon an I'M
tried road where even their friends
were ready TO turn upon them should
they make not false, but an unsatis-
factory step
Until these elements are brought in
to one general and to some extent har-
monious whole there can be but little
hope OF the formation of a nation
whose corner stone shall be liberty
and equality. These conditions were
we'll illustrated in the duma, and must
be so developed that the liberty which
makes for the good part of the people
must be accepted by all In word,
the heterogeneous people OF Russia
must be SO united in common pur-
pose that each will be willing to sac
rifice life and property for the COM
mon good
These things were not shown to ex-
list in the debates and acts of the duma
Probably in the face Of great danger
they would have become closer united
in a common purpose, as was to some
extent true when the members trav-
eled in body to the place where they
expected to be arrested. But that was
more an act of self protection than
movement for the public good, as the
members believed that they could have
more opportunities of securing their
freedom were they arrested in body
in one of the cities than they would If
they were arrested singly at their
homes.
Revolution and death will mark the
history of Russia for years, and the
ground once secured by the people will
not be relinguished. The assembling
of the duma has allowed the advance
guard of liberty to press forward even
to the enemy's foftresses, and at this
vantage points the motley hosts of the
down-trodden people will entrench
themselves for a renewal of the fight.
But until the spirit of liberty which
bind men together with links stronger
than life permeates and inspires the
whole Russian people, the fight will be
one of anarchy and ruin.

A GIGANTIC TASK.

The Russian duma, now a matter Of
history, revealed many conditions in
that country which in the mighty
struggle which has been taking place
during the last few months, have been
overlooked. The duma was distinctly
representative of the Russian people.
The members represented every shade
of intellectual accomplishment be-
tween literacy and illiteracy as we'll as
these two extremes.
No nation or people have ever ac-
complished much in the way of acquir-
Ing freedom unless they were to unite
in a common purpose and moved by a
common impulse. Russia has not a
large number of classes marked by So
ctal and industrial considerations, but
more than half hundred nationalities
each as distinctive in its customs and
ambitions as though they were separ-
ated by oceans. From the palaces of
aristocracy and wealth which are dis
tinctive of st. Petersburg and Moscow,
where education and culture indicate
the pinnacle of Russian intellectual
development to the wandering tribes
which roam over the barren steppes,
living in fur covered huts and subsist-
ing upon the scantiest and coarsest
food. devoid Of every vestige of culture
and refinement and with no written
language and consequently no news
papers or books, representing polit-
zeal condition but little removed from
Savagery. there is gradual scale,
every point of which was represented
in the recent national legislative body
assembled to make laws for thse diver
sified peoples.
To inaugurate system Of govern
ment which would have been satisfac-

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY.

The fair which opens in this city to-
morrow should be the climax of agri-
cultural exhibitions in the northwest.
1t should at the same time be an epoch
in the commercial prosperity of the
city and the county. The time has
passed when any community can re-
cline in an easy chair and have pros
has become the hall mark of trade. NJ
city, no community, has monopoly
of the trade which naturally belongs
to it any more than one merchant in
city can declare that he has monop-
oily on the trade of his community and
make his declaration good.
Trade must be sought, even courted
like a coy maiden. 1t is not thing
which comes of right. inducements
must be offered which will compel its
centralizing in the city else it will 20
where some competitor is Offering such
inducements.
Next week will be the golden oppor-
tunity for this city to prove its worth
as trade center. The visitors who
will be here will come from every part
Of the state. They will combine pleas
ure and business and their eyes will be
open to the opportunities about them.
A vast majority of them will be farm
ers and those dependant upon the
farm. They are the buyers in this
state. They are the ones who made
or make our financial prosperity.
But they are not to be caught with
gaudy tinsel and imaginary advantag-
es. They are conservative when their
pocketbooks are in question. For this
reason they are on the lookout for the
best place to patronize.
They are just the class of people We
are looking for, because there is not a
city or hamlet in the northwest which
can offer the trade advantages obtain
able in Grand Forks. In close proxim.
ity to the largest distributing points
and one Of no inconsiderable import
ance itself, it is but natural that it
should be able to offer superior adj
vantages. Better bargains for the
same money or as good bargains for
less money should be the motto of ev-
cry tradesman in the city. Such are
the natural conditions and the only
thing which needs to be done is to let
the people of the northwest who at
tend the fair this week have a living
demonstration of the fact.
Every visitor at the fair should be
made patron of the city's trade. Let
the truth be told and the trade as
sured.

BRYAN AND DEMOCRACY.

1t is certain that if the national DEM
ocratic convention we're held at this
time to nominate the standard bearer
OF the party in the next presidential
election, the convention would be
nothing more than big Bryan ratifi-
cation meeting. Whether the wave of
democratic enthusiasm which is now
sweeping over the national democracy
will not have spent itself before the
summer of 1908 remains to be seen.
One thing can be said of the present
conditions. They indicate where the
party stands and do not leave the de-
termination of the candidate which is
practically the party policy, until the
convention has assembled. The people
OF the nation will not be left in total
darkness as to the matters which will
be submitted to them in the fall cleo
ton.
In the last campaign the party did
not know who the candidate would he
nor what his policy on national affairs
would be until the delegates had as
sembled in convention at St. Louis.
In sense it is no concern of the
people outside of the democratic party
who the candidate is. But it is only
fair to the national electorate that the
man who seeks to become chief execu-
tive of eighty millions of people should
be known sufficiently long before the
choice must be made to permit some
thing at least Of his ability and policy
to be determined.
Whether Mr.. Bryan as the choice #
his party would be able to gather up
the discordant elements and unite
them in battle for democratic SUI
premacy is one of the unsolvable ele-
ments Of the democratic riddles. If
William Randolph Hearst should be
rendered the governorship nomination
in New York he would have something
at least to say concerning the national
ticket. He may be for Mr.. Bryan, but
II he is there has been so far pro-
nounced no declaration to that effect.
However, Hearst's objection to Bryan
will not defeat the latter II the senti-
ment of the democracy is the same at

times the news will be published
without fear or favor. and the sooner
the disgruntled ones comes to realize
this fact the better for all concerned.

VERY CLOSE TO FATAL ENDING
Town Of Clinton Citizen Pierced by Tines
Of Pitchfork.

Cashton Record: While helping
thresh at Tway's farm out on Irish
Ridge sin the town of Clinton, Philip
Snyder was the victim or peculiar ac-
cident. He was pitching bundles along
with John Erickson, wnen tine latter's
fork became ehtangled in the large belt
of the thrGshing machine, Jerking 1t
from his hands and hurting it tines first
straight at Mr.. Snyder's breast. 1t went
with great force and the three sharp
needle-like tines pierced Mr.. Snyder
squarely, one striking the breast bone,
one the lower rib and the third went in
between the ribs. Mr.. Snyder immedi-
ately pulled the fork out, which re-
quired all his strength, and then fell
from the stack. He was carried home
and a physician called. 1t was found
that the wounded man was not fatally
hurt and the fork did not pieece any of
the vital organs, although the wounds
are very sore and will necessitate sever
al days quiet for the patient. Had the
fork struck Mr.. Snyder in most any
other place than where it did, it prob
ably would have resulted in instant
death MIR. Snyder has had consider
ably more than his share in the accident
line. He was badly used up last March
by a saving riga broken arm and
several bad cuts were received,
