IT Is always we'll for the editor OF q
newspaper to remember what he has
written within 1T least week or SO
last passed. The fact that the Grand
Forks Herald editor didn't do so is re-
sponsible for the following COMPARE
son Of Herald paragraphs made by the
Grand Forks Times. 1t should be re-
marked that Duis is democrat, and
Is being supported by the bushwhack.

the Ilerald's consistency:

Masonic bodies, including the Shrine,

Yeomen. Grand Forks Herald, Feb.

!" Isn't 1t q peculiar fact that the ap.

Down In Injiyanny they have
fright smart" town bearing the same
cognomen, gentle reader, as the one
In which we'uns dwell and In which
we all take so much pride. Now, It
would be supposed that the N. ID.
Linton, being so much nearer to the
ragged edge Of the frontier, would be
the one more apt to be the scene Of a
disorderly proceeding than the city in
the slow-going land of the HOLSTERS.
But II seems that facts point other
wise. Not long ago there came a
travelling vaudeville show to tile
Indiana Linton. As Is usual with ag-
gregations Of a high order Of talent,
the funny people Of the show interpo-
lated In their lines other lines and
quips Of local and personal application;
not meaning. Of course, to injure any
ones tender sensibilities, because they
hadn't motive for such injury. But
one Of the Lin tonites became offended
at what he termed "slurs ON the
town" and forthwith, drawing his ar.
tillery, opened IRE on the actors, shoot
Ing one OF 'em through the arm. That
wouldn't have happened in the Lin-
ton near Beavers banks. We prob.
ably have had as bad shows as
travel, but we have never, even in
Thought, fired bullets at tllem-no,
not even cabblges, pioneer eggs, de-
funct cats-and things like that. All
Of which goes to show that the Lin.
ton Of the wild and woody west is pco-
pied by much more law-abiding citi-
zenshtp than the Linton situated In
the efiete or big-feet ivilization OF the
old Hoosier State.

MIR. PATTERsoN's paper roasts some
one every week. Last week 1t was
William Jones, who will at the CON-
Ing election be candidate for sheriff.
Mr.. +. also says that he will spend .
thousand dollars to defeat Mr.. ]. We
wish 10 call his attention to the fact
that thousand dollars cannot be
honestly spent In this county by any
candidate -even for an ONCE worth
great deal more than the sheriff's
Office. And what reason has Mr.. P.
to abuse Mr.. Jones? Absolutely none.
But that's the way with MIR. Pattcr-
son. His political friends, even, must
not only support him whenever he
is candidate for Office, but they are
not to be allowed to exercise their
Judgment In regard to any other can
didate. They must support every
body that he supports or they will
incur the great mans displeasure
One Of the turncoat's old schemes is
being worked by him this time: He has
made several men thinker he thinks
he has made them think-that each
individual Of them is his '.honest and
only" choice for sheriff. But this
course is something that always acts
as a boomerang-just as soon as the
parties ascertain thathe is .'stringing"
them. Mr.. Jones Is to be congratulate
ed that he has Patterson's opposition.

The house committee on temper
ance, In the Ohio legislature, has
favorably reported a bill "making It
unlawful for any person to buy a
drink for another In IA saloon. or In
any place where liquor is solo," 1t
Also prohibits bartenders from giving
liquor away. A statute of this kind
was enacted twenty-five or thirty
years ago by state legislature-as
We remember 1t, 1t was In Virginia
and was duly signed by the governor.
But great many sociable chaps took
II as q joke and did all sorts Of things
to nullify its provisions. A man
would ask a party OF friends to drink
with him, and, before they entered
the saloon, he, laughing, would hand
each Of his friends the price OF the
beverage. However, it is generally
understood among drinking men
who are best qualified to know lust
what the evils Of strong drink are
That the system of treating is chiefly
responsible for excessive drinking. A
man goes into saloon to get drink.
HE wants one drink and no more. II
ne meets no one there lie knows, he
takes but the one drink. But he NAV

the false American idea Of hospitality
and good fellowship, he asks them .sto

they, like him, want but the one drinl
they have taken. But 1t wouldn't b,
polite to refuse, and they cine

ONE Of the funny things in Baldy's
campaign against "tlle gang he
trained with at the Grand Forks con.
vention was his recent roasting Of
1.-THE gang" because mclean and
Stutsman county school lands are be-
Ing advertised for sale in the Bis
marck Palladium, instead OF in the
home papers Of those counties. /"
Whereupon the Bismarck paper called
attention to something that an ex-
member OF the legislature certainly
ought to know: that the law provides
for the publication Of school land
sales In the home papers, but also re-
quires that the sale notices shall be
printed in paper published at the
capital Of the state Thus, instead
OF 1.-The gang" giving printing that
belonged to local papers to . Capital
City paper, as charged by Baldy's
sheet, the lists Of lands for sale were
published In Bismarck because the
law required II. That's about all
there Is to the turncoat's accusations
g to most matters.

No More Free Seeds.

Congress has refused to make the
annual seed appropriation, and it Is
probable that the venerable custom
of allowing each senator and member
a certain number of packages of seed,
to be franked to his constituents will
hereafter be honored in the breach
rather than in the observance. No
one will regret that the free-seed dis
tribution has come to an end. The
practice was instituted to the end
that the farmers and gardeners OF the
nation might have the benefit of new
and untried varieties of seeds. each
to report to the Washington authori-
ties his success or failure in raising a
better vegetable than had Heretofore
been produced in his locality But
in practice, the original idea has been
perverted until the seeds sent out
are generally neither better nor
worse than those that can be pul-
chased from the dealers in any city or
village. AS these seeds are sent by
mail under the franks Of congressman.
their carriage is quite burden on
the postal service. The members Of
congress have long been tired of the
whole business, and the present cor
greSs has given the practice what IS
probably IL death blow. 1t is said that
among the big petitions that have
been presented TO house and senate.
asking that the free-seed distribution
be abolished, a large majority OF the
signatures are those Of practical farm
ers. The benefit TO people who ob,
tain seeds is only Of few cents,
and the cost To the government for
seeds and delivery is considerable.

This bill, when 1t becomes : law, will
prevent the sale OF adulterated food

chewers and pounds Of tobacco
Chewed, to the population, in those
States where SCHNAPPS tobacco
was first sold than there are In the
States where SCFINAPPS has not
vet been offered to the trade.
SCENAPPS is like a cup Of fine
lava coffee, sweetened just enough
to bring out its natural, stimulating
qualities. SCFINAPPS pleases all
classes of chewers: the rich, be-
cause they do not find a chew that
really pleases them better at any
price; the poor, because it is more
economical than the large 1OC. or
15c. plugs and they get their mon
ey's worth of the real snappy, slim
ulating flavor so appreciated by to-
bacco lovers. All limitations con-
tain much more sweetening than
SCHNAPPS. They are made that
way to hide poor tobacco improp-
srIY cured.
For the man who chews tobacco
for tobacco s sake, there is no chew
like SCENAPPS.
