PULSE OF THE PRESS
A Missouri Slope View.
bismarck Tribune.]

By way of satire upon some of the
"insurgent" criticisms of Senator
Hansbrough, the Grand Forks Times
publishes an editorial from the Port
land Oregonian, criticising the bill
presented by Senator Hansbrough in
the senate, proposing the appropria-
ton of million. dollars from the re-
clamation fund for use in the drainage
of the Red river valley. The article
in question is apt in proving that the
point of view determines largely the
opinions that are held of various men
and measures. Not approaching the
conditions and being itself in no need
of drainage, Oregon takes naturally
different view OF the Hansbrough bill
than is taken in North Dakota. 1t is,
of course, we'll known that Senator
Hansbroughs bill was presented after
drainage conference of leading men
in the Red river valley. Their idea is
that, if the government could advance
the sum required from the reclama-
ton fund, to which North Dakota has
contributed several millions of dollars,
it could be repaid as the reclamation
law provides other appropriations
shall be repaid, and the security of
the lands benefited for the repayment
of the fund is more than ample. But,
whether or not the government per-
mits the using of this sum for the pur-
pose of drainage, it is not likely the
drainage movement will be permitted
to die away. North Dakotans are re-
sourceful and self reliant and the
security of the Red river valley lands
is ample for the obtaining of funds
sufficient to construct complete and
practical system of drainage in the
valley.

THE aLOOTING. OF MEMS CHAR.
ACTERS.

No man arrives at a perfect or just
state of mind who does not examine
and consider both sides of question.
This is the way the statesman reaches
correct conclusions; it is the course
that judges must pursue; it is what
a jury is sworn to do, and it is what
every fair-minded man, who does not
wish to injure his fellow man, will do.
Then there is the element of pre-
JUDGE to be considered. 1t is con-
ceivable that there are few men who
are not susceptible to that greatest
and most dangerous human weakness
prejudice. Men become prejudiced
without knowing it, A man, from mo-
tives which may not be apparent at
the time, will pour into the ear of his
neighbor a tale of injustice or woe, US
ing exaggerated language and ex-
pressions, and the neighbor, full of
sympathy, ever ready to correct what
appears to be wrong, will be i'm
pressed. Another man, also with
hidden purpose, appears in due time
to repeat to the neighbor the same
story, with new variations and fresh
paint. The neighbor is now stirred to
Indignation. Then comes newspaper
whose editor has an AK to grind or
who thinks he has a grievance or who
failed to get an Office or wants one,
and in its columns the story told by
the first man and again by the second
man is elaborated in colors that make
the victim of the plot a creature to
be despised, to be stunned, to ne ana
thematized, TO be destroyed. Thus the
foundation for prejudice, for envy. for
hatred, is laid deep and wide.
All this theatrical play-this shift
ing OF scenery with devils and minor
demons smeared upon it, this flashing
OF lights to represent lightning, this
P'uhuiHS VI drums ana rafting OF
gonss for thunder effects-will lie
wasted upon the man who has a fair
and open mind, who believes in a
square deal" and who refuses to be
stampeded in other words, who de-
clines to be influenced to the point of
prejudice. He will wait to hear the
other side. He will consider that at
some time in his own experience per-
haps he himself has been msrepre-
scented, lied about and falsely accused;
that he himself has been laid under
suspicion by designing and irrespon-
sible persons-and no one knows bet
ter than he of the bitterness and the
sorrow that has come to him in con-
sequence of such attempts on the part
OF an enemy or combination of en-
emies to destroy his character by the
practice of this kind of injustice.
1t is pretty good evidence of the
lack of responsibility and the unsound-
ness of a mans reasoning powers
when we find him thou htlessly jump
ing at conclusions; when, without in
curry or investigation, he accepts
common report as evidence upon
which to base his judgment.

and which in time must receive more.
1t is one of the best paying crops
that can be produced in the north
west at this time, If the facilities for
handling, shipping, and marketing
were as good as those of the cereal
crops.
1t is a principle of domestic econ
omy that food products will always
find market. The philosophy that
people must purchase that which will
sustain life is elementary.
Potatoes enter largely into the food
supply of this country, being found
on the tables of both rich and poor,
and the new uses to which they are
being put indicate that their useful
ness is just beginning to be under
stood.
Under these conditions it is not
necessary to argue that the crop would
be profitable one if the soil and eli
mate are adapted to the production
of high grade product in abundant
quantity.
North Dakota can do both. The
fertility of the soil produces the finest
specimens in the world, and in greater
abundance.
The yields per acre are so large
that they seem almost unreasonable.
The quality is so much beyond that
of the products of other potato pro-
ducing sections that comparisons seem
odious.
1t is therefore clear that if the
farmers of the state should engage in
the raising of this product for the
market, they would primarily be in
a position to hold a position as COM
handing as that Of wheat.
But there are some drawbacks.
More labor is required, but with the
development of machinery, this will
be largely overcome as it has been in
the growing of wheat A serious diff
ficulty is the marketing of the crop.
Its bulk makes the hauling from the
farm to the shipping point a heavy
tax, and the same thing keeps the
freight charges so high that they take
large slice out of the profits.
So far there seems to be no practi-
cal solution of these problems.
Competition seems to fail to reduce
freight rates below certain point,
and the bringing of the consuming
class nearer to the producing class by
the establishment Of industries en-
ploying labor is the most practical.
But aside from these considerations,
Il the splendid qualities of North Da.
kota potatoes were as we'll known
as is those of North Dakota hard
wheat, there would come a demand
for them that would put the price so
high that farmers could we'll afford
to raise them even with the freight
matter against them
1t will take some persistent push
ing of the value of the product to
create this demand, but it will come
If the farmers continue to raise them.

WEARING OF THE GREEN.

More than sixteen centuries ago an
infant first saw the light Of day at
Fitzpatrick, whose memory was to be
preserved by the people for whom he
labored, when his contemporaries had
long since been hidden by the cob
webs of forgetfulness.
The legends of st. Patrick are a de-
light to the fancy, as are the memories
of any one who has been truly great
or noble in his day, and like the i'm
aginations with which our childish
minds have clothed ST. Nicholas, they
remain like the impression of a oft
read fairy story.
1t is well to remember, though, the
wonderful works of this devout man
who first planted the cross in the land
where it has been SO devotedly fol-
lowed since that time.
Carried away by pirates at the age
Of sixteen years, it was his good for
tune to be sold, according to the GUS
toms of the times, to an Ulster chief
tain, whose flocks he tended for six
years. At the age of twenty-four he
escaped to France and became
monk.
While living life of devotion at the
monastery Of Lerins he was moved by
visions to undertake the conversion
of the Irish people to the Christian re-
ligion.
He was ordained bishop aad after
receiving the papal benediction he be-
gan his work in 1872.
During his life he founded 800
churches and baptized with his own
hands 10000 persons.
He left but scant writings from
which he might be judged. But he
wrote the eternal truth Of religion
ii ineffacible letters on the hearts of

NORTH DAKOTA POTATOES.

The Evening Times believes in
diversified farming. 1t is not only the
means by which the fertility of the
soil will be preserved, but it can be
made to fill in many gaps in the agri-
cultural line
One Of these diversifying crops that
is just now receiving some attention,
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1906-03-17

his adopted people, and from these he
has been justly made saint, and to-
day the descendants of those to whom
he carried his message of eternal life
will wear the emblem of the land
whose people he loved, wherever
found, and the hearts of Irishmen will
be warmed with the fire that has been
the token of their devotion Of truth
and right.
The wearing of the green today is
not an empty show. The child of Ire
land who places the shamrock upon
his breast does it with the same rever-
ence for his religion as the patriotism
an American feels when he stands be-
side the tomb of Washington or gazes
upon the things with which he was
associated in life.
The Irish people have been scat
tered to the farthest lands, but no
matter how far they may have wan
dered, they have always dragged a
chain of remembrance that has car
ried them ever back to their native
land.
They have proven their loyalty to
the country of their adoption by the
test of war, and their blood has freely
drenched the battlefields where free
dom has been the stake, and with all
this they have carried the fire of their
first religious awakening with them,
and everywhere it's emblem is re-
spected and the people who wear it
honored and loved.

To Be Sold and Moved by the On
tariO Store.

The next two weeks will be busy
weeks for the Ontario store. The big
building sale will continuei all next
week and at the rate the goods have
going this week, there will be big
hole made IN the stock, but when it is
considered that there is now within
the walls of the old building $4,000
worth of goods, it can readily be seen
that large amount will have to be
sold to materially lessen it.
One week from next Monday the
store will all be closed but the gro
Gerry department and the entire week
devoted to moving. On April 1, the
following Monday, the various depart
ments will be reopened and will run
under their new arrangements until
Sept. 1, when the new building will be
ready.
The various departments will be dis
posed of as follows: The grocery de-
partment will not be changed; the
crockery department will go into the
basement of the Platky building; the
dry goods will go into the store rooms
of the same building; the hardware
and carpet departments will go. into
the Friedman building; the clothing
will go into the quarters now occupied
by the hardware and crockery depart
ments in the Iddings Block: the book
store stock will be confined to one
half of its present quarters and the
shoe department will be taken care
of there.
Mr.. Griffith is confident that after
the sale closes he will have room
enough under this arrangement to dis
play his stock in fairly satisfactory
manner. 1t will take large force
working an entire week to move the
stock.

A basket ball game which will de-

took place in the Central school audi

of the river was present to enjoy the
play, "The Deacon" and the excellent
specialties by the members of the
choir and others.
The evening was pleasantly opened
by chorus of fifty young ladies who
sang the old, inspiring Irish airs, the

participants, as all were so good and
fitted their parts SO we'll that it would
be an injustice to give and special
