The College Widow.

The fame of "The College Widow"
spread by the thousands of New York
and Chicago visitors who saw 1t dur
ing its phenomenal run in those cities,
has made the tour of this delightful
George AIDE comedy series of oya-
tons. There is little variance of opin-
ion regarding this play, the verdict
being that it Us the cleanest, sanest,
most wholesomely humorous work of
years. AS presented by Henry w.
Savage's company, all that artistic
and ample environment can do to en-
nance it's inherent value Is looked
after. "The College Widow" will be
the attraction at the Metropolitan
theatre Wednesday evening.

RE FARMERS INSTITUTES PRO.
FITABLE!

Are ~sarTers' institutes profitable?
a question often asked by those who
We not gotten away from the idea
at the farmer is a man who puts his
ust in the Lord when he puts his
ed in the ground.
The farmer was long supposed to
mere plodder who plowed the
nd because his father did, and
anted the same kinds of seed-they
d not call them varieties then-that
Is father had done for years.
He ridiculed any departure as earn
lily as the old lady did who opposed
ke making of artificial ice on the
rounds that it was sacrilegious.
Not SO now.
The farmer is practical scientist
e knows the soil, the botany of his
aants and the natural history of his
nimals.
He is a philosopher. He can tell the
oints that go to make good dairy
Ow, a beef producer, draft horse,
race horse, mutton or wool sheep,
nd he can give reason for every
ne.
He is an anatomist and knows the
make of the bone, muscle, digestive
rgans, breathing apparatus, and
oxen other things about animals that
ken in the professions would not
now.
He does not know these things be-
ause he lives with his hogs and
ther animals.
He has learned much from observa-
sol-all great men have done that
but he has learned more from books,
Erom lectures and from agricultural
colleges.
The farmer of middle age has had
vt little opportunity at agricultural
Schools. 1t Is well within the recol-
ction Of men of two-score years of
We when congress first gave to agri-
|llture national recognition by pro-
Wiling for the creation of the expert

business, but that the meat could be
made into the finished product right
here in North Dakota.
The case OF farmer near Cando
was cited who had not only been sue
cessful in raising hogs for the mar
llet, but had built a small stone
smoke-house in which he had smoked
much OF this product and sold it to
the farmers at fourteen to twenty
cents per pound
This is merely an illustration.
The raising of hogs in this country
is among the certainties of diversified
farming. The boy can easily stand
our climate. In fact, because of it's
dryness in winter, it is rather ideal.
There is bound to be Il large vast
age even on the best regulated farm
which can only be saved by the hog.
In addition to the cheap grains
which are grown so abundantly and
which find at best dull market in
their native state, the grasses which
make ideal summer ranges grow in
profusion. Field peas grow as dense
as the wild vines in tropical forests.
With these things SO abundantly at
hand, hog raising becomes a simple
matter.
But the trouble has largely been
that the price received in the mar
kets did not realize the farmer as
much as would the same amount of
energy and care given to grain grow
ing.
But If the people of North Dakota
would not only finish the animal but
the product itself-the meat cured
and ready for market. the demand
would be large enough to make the
price reasonable, and yet not so large
as to depress it below a profit
1t is true that this comes thenu
| 1t is true that this carries the mat
| ter to the question of wheher or not
those not connected with the large
| packing establishments can success
fully compete with them in the mar
ket.
| In the case of meats which must be
sold to the consumer fresh, it is
doubtful if it could, not so much be-
cause of anything in the slaughter
ing business itself as because of the
carrying of the meats in cold storage
to the smaller distribution points.
But the pork matter is altogether a
different one. The product is handled
largely in a cured state in which cold
storage is not necessary either for
transportation or keeping.
Once cured, it can be shipped any
distance in ordinary cars.
This is why the raising of hogs and
the conversion of the meat into the
finished product can be carried on in
our own state, and as Mr.. Austin
suggested, two freights can be saved
! to the consumer in the state.

Carleton. the manager. had in mind
the ever-increasing desire of the pub
lie to see beautiful and stylish women
on the stage; women who can wear
fine costumes as they should be worn,
and women who can sing and dance
with an understanding of what those
accomplishments mean.
These essentials have been closely
adhered to in this Johnny" company,
and it is pretty safe to predict that
when the curtain rises on the first
act of this famous military opera
comique. much enthusiasm will be
aroused.

An Original Idea.

The orator once was the man who
claimed
-, Rewards from the people who vote;
The sound of his voice oped the portals
of fame
And his sayings the children would
quote.
But epigrams grew so abundant at last
That man tried a different way,
He took his opinions and locked EN- up
fast
And said he had nothing to say
The throng ever tickle, knocks at his
door.
,, Photographers furtively peek
Through his tranSOm. Impatient we
ask DER and DER
When the oracle's going to speak,
"ris strange that the simplest and
easiest scheme
Is often the one that will pay,
We're astonished. For not until now
did we dream
Tint man could have nothing to
say. Washington Star.

rGlenburn Advocated

tGlenburn Advocated
Now and then we run across items
in our independent" exchanges that
read with a meaning somewhat as
follows: THAT while the different
political bosses and rings are having
turbulent time both amongst them
selves and with the spoils of office, we
will stick by the common people and
guard them against the thieves"
That there should be men editing
newspapers with such narrow brain
calibre is as deplorable as it is true.
The following is an item from a recent
exchange. The self-imagined martyr
dom of the poor editor is lamentable
in the extereme:
The political situation in this state
is becoming quite amusing to an out
slider, as well as somewhat complex to
those directly interested therein. In
the coming fight the Independent will
take it's stand with the people although
us in a similar position to Him who
crucified between two thieves"
Crucified as Christ, mind you! "Mien
self und Got!" And then these fellows
purporting to be chief guardians of
the common people!
The man that pats his chest and re-
marks that he is entirely independent
in his political views Is akin to the
fellow who says he is Independent in
his religious views. Neither amount
to very much nor accomplish any,
thing worthy of note. 1t is we'll and
good to have an individual opinion, but
it is equally essential to be able to work
with others to accomplish much under
our form of government. 1t is neces-
sary to advocate individual opinions
if this country is to develop, and it is
also necessary to be able to accept the
individual views of others.
1t is equally true that every voter
in the United States has his voice as
to the kind of government we have, is
it is that but small majority make
and execute the laws. The best that
can be said of any one that says he is
not working with any political organ
ization is to say that he is knocker,
or entirely without interest in the
making of our government. We must
work through some form of organiza-
ton. And while the opinions of the
organization may not be entirely
agreeable to us, it is better to have
portion of our opinions accepted than
none. Political organizations do many
things subject to severe criticism, but
where is the individual 30 free from
blemish, that he is not subject to some
adverse criticism? Our laws and our
officers are as good as our average
citizenship. The reason there is graft
is because majority of US wink at
graft when it is coming our way; the
reason there is mismanagementj is be-
cause we approve of it when It bene-
fits us, and SO on.
Our political fabric Is but picture
of our mortal condition and to remedy
the former we must commence on the
latter. Like people. like priests"
Ayaunt. with the idea that you are
some independent, omnipotent editor,
able to sit on the judgment throne
and condemn the men about you who
work while you work not. Anyone
can be good who never does anything.
He is both good and good for nothing.

MR.. SPALDING,
STAND UP!

Will the Insurgent Chief Please An.
swer the Following Pertinent Qaes-
tions for the Enlightenment of the
Republicans Of North Dakotaa
Bottineau. N. D., Jan. 26.-Editor
Evening Times Hon. B. F. Spalding
of Fargo visited Bottineau last even
ing and delivered an address to
large audience under the auspices of
the so-called Good Government"
league. Mr.. Spalding recalled things
of the past and predicted things for
the future, in speaking of North Da-
kota politics. He referred frequently
to the manner in which the political
slate was made up at the Merchants
hotel in st. Paul. how this had been
done for years-but failed to en-
tighten his audience as to the prom
inent part he has taken with this
same machine" which he now con-
demns-after suffering defeat at it's
hands. If not asking The Evening
Times too much, and believing that
the people of the state are deserving
of an explanation from the gentle
man, may ask the following open
questions:
Mr.. Spalding, if you had been NOM
mated as a candidate for congress by
the so-called machine" at the last
republican state convention, would
you now be transforming over the
state denouncing the men whom you
now claim have controlled North Da-
kota politics since statehood?
If this machine" exists and is as
corrupt as you assert in your
speeches, why have you ON two diff
ferent occasions-and you claim to
be an honest, conscientious man-ac-
cepted nomination at Cts hands and
as member of congress, by your
voice and vote, endorsed the will of
the republican party in North Dakota,
as created by this so-called ina
chine?"
You denounce National Committee
man Mckenzie as corrupt politician
and man in absolute control of the
republican party of this state. Dare
you accuse Mr.. Mckenzie of ever at
tempting to influence your vote for
any corrupt measure?
Dare you accuse Mr.. Mckenzie of
ever attempting to influence your vote
at any time you were a. member of
congress?
Is it not fact that our represent
tatives in both branches of congress
have secured more for North Dakota
as a new state-than the represen-
tatives of any other state-which can
in any manner be compared with this
state in age or population?
Is it not fact that our represen-
tatives in the upper branch of con-
gress have made national regulations
for themselves and the state by. their
hard. honest work on important COM
mitteeS?
What men are to control the ma
chine you are now endeavoring to
build up, should you and the COM
bination you represent, be successful
in defeating the regular republican
organization of this state?
If you will answer these questions
as freely as you now denounce the
men who have made North Dakota
what she is today-one of the greatest
states in the union-you will enlight-
en- large class of people in this
county who are now doubling the adj
visibility of Jumping out of the fry
ing pan into the fire."
