vulgarisy No Irish Trait.

There are certain nations that have
the quality Of vulgarity strongly in the
blood, and indeed it seems to testify
to Z strong and full blooded vitality, q
desire for self assertion, and thus we
may expect to find vulgarity logging
like shadow the footsteps of strong.
capable and pushing nationalitles. But
there are certain nations that have
been accused of many faults that yet
have never been accused Of being vul-
gar. The Irish are case in point.
They have been accused Of levity, Of
undue conviviality, of frivolity, Of q
tendency to romance, Of untrustworthi-
ness, Of responsibility, but they have
never been accused of vulgarity. There
lies deep in the Celtic temperament a
rich vein Of emotion, strong relish for
the melancholy side Of life. 1t is on this
that their incompatible sense Of humor
Is based. and it may be said that no
one who feels at home with melancholy.
who luxuriates III the strange contrast
between the possibilities and the per
formances Of humanity, is in any dan
ger Of vulgarity, for one of the essen
tial components Of vulgarity is com
placent self satisfaction. and If man
- apt to dwell regretfully on what
might have been rather than cheerfully
upon what is there is but little room for
complacency.-A.C c. Benson in Atlantic

The Record recently received re-
quest from the authorities of the
manual training-school at Glendale
for some free advertising. We have
declined the proposition. A publish
er's space is his stock in trade, and
he makes the chief part of his living
therefrom. There is no reason why
state institutions should not pay for
their advertising, just as they pay
for their food supplies and other things
necessary for their maintenance
Why IL is that country newspapers
should be expected to give space to
this, that and the other thing with
ont remuneration is something we
cannot understand; and, as far as
the publisher OF the Record is con-
cerned, he will do no more of it.
Local church and charitable-society
announcements will be published
free, and also announcements of like
character for any neighborhood in
the county. But we shall draw the
line at Emmons county's boundaries.
Space Is getting to be of too much
value in the Record to give it away
to people who have no sort of claim
on us. THE labOrer is worthy of his
hive

THERE is strong feeling through
out the state that the law providing
for an inspection of weights and
measures should be repealed BY the
coming session of the legislature. II
the law really insured correct
weights and measures, there might
be some reason for continuing it.
But it does not Nearly every dep
uty inspector that has made trip
to Linton since the law went into eff
feet has come with rush, and, being
anxious to get away on the next
train, has performed his work in a
perfunctory manner; never forget
ting, however, TO collect his fees.
The law is on the statute-books of
several of the more populous states,
and it is possible that it may be salts
factory in those states. But it GER
tainly is not success in North Da-
kota, as the service rendered is of lit
tie value to the public, and is con-
considerable burden to those who own
scales. II merchant wants to be
dishonest, a semi-annual visit by a
deputy inspector of weights and meas
ures will not keep him to the straight
and narrow path.

lT IS amusing to note the attempts
Of the Grand Forks Herald to make
its manifold declarations OF '.princi-
pies" jibe. The Herald claims to be
in favor OF republican supremacy
but such supremacy must be on lines
marked out by one-iifth of the re-
publican voters. as shown by the re-
cent vote. II wants a republican ma
jority in the state II it be majority
OF its own friends-but fears that the
republican majority may be too large.

Roosevelt editorially: but, in the face

measures OF reform, the Herald want

ducing the majority for the republi-
can congressman in 1904 of about
thirty-three thousand to a majority
for those candidates in 1906 Of about
half that number. How the Herald
expects to pose as a republican paper
and still successfully work for the re-
duction Of the states republican ma

Why it is that congress does not
unanimously wipe out the law pro-
viding for the distribution of free
seeds is something that no one can
understand. The National Grange,
representing good many thousand
farmers. recently declared against the
free-seed distribution by the federal
government. If the seeds were of
scarce and valuable sorts, the stu
alton would be different. But they
are not. The seeds sent out from
Washington are of the ordinary sort
just such as you can buy at your
grocer's. And, counting the expense
of carrying them through the mail,
they are dear proposition before
they reach the farmer, who must in
directly pay the freight" There is
absolutely no reason why the free
seed scheme should not be at once
abandoned

some very interesting things are
shown by the vote in this state at
the recent election. The total for
Gov Sarles vas $4,000. Perhaps a
fair test of the party strength is
shown by the vote on lieutenant gov

Misunderstanding brand of .'republi-
cans" who did not vote for Sarles
voted for Lewis. Now, as 29,309 vot-
ers cast their ballots for Sarles, the
fact is made plain that about one
fifth of the republicans of this state
demanded that the other four-fifths
submit to their dictation. The ma
jority failing to do this, the one-fifth
