who had big responsibility. 1t was
plain to me that the head OF the firm
had outlived his usefulness, and / used
to feel sorry to think what would
happen to him if l ever left him.
Sheer magnanimity made me overlook

II wasn't treated in that Office with
all the Difference due me, but stood
it till one day somebody went too
far. Then l marched into the old

the law to him. told him I wasn't
going to endure such treatment another

what was going to do, and l was
going to quit right then and there.
/ unburdened my mind freely, and
then l stopped to give him chance to
apologize and beg me not to ruin

his desk. He just said to me in a
polite kind of way: please don't

are the dominant traits of Mcclure g
for February. Even after the peep
behind the curtains afforded by the
sessions of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, of the legislative in

upheavals of last falls political
campaign, there are disclosures in this
number concerning railroad abuses,
life insurance juggling, and political
trickery which will take hard hold
of every citizen.

much of housewifely interest. Isabel

exposures of graft in high places the
greatest disclosures are yet to come.

be set forth in the future numbers of
the Cosmopolitan Magazine, beginning
with the case of Depew in the March
number of that magazine. The whole
matter is in the hands of that able
and honest advocate of straightfor-
wardness, Mr.. David Graham Philips,
and despite the cunning of Depew in
covering up his tracks, Mr.. Philips
has succeeded in tightening the

Newspaper hustle is the side of a

exploitation by fiction-writers in
general. Now comes Jeanette Lee
with an effective reverse picture in

which appears in the February

that phase of the newspaper man IS
characteristic tender human part
which only his dear ones know when
he is off duty. This picture is drawn
with sure hand and does honor to a
class of men who possess in markedly
typical sense the sincerest qualities
OF American manhood.

Ibsen on Friendship.

Friends are a costly luxury,
and when one invests ones capt.
al in a mission in life one cannot
afford to have friends. The ex-
pensiyeness of friendship does
not lie. in what one does for ones
friends, but what one, out of re-
gard for them, leaves undone.
This means the crushing of many
an intellectual germ. s
We must never measure lbsen
by the ordinary standards Of
men. He aWoke upon a civiliza-
ton with which he found him
self at work. So tremendous
was the task which he set him
self in defying and attacking
that civilization, that the import
ance and the JOY Of human friend
ship was dWarfed within him.
He was a great Ishmaelite with
la high purpose in all his contenr
lions. How 1unutterably sad it
is, that a man Of such vast mar
| gin should be, by the very
struggles Of his soul against the
shams Of a world, deprived Of the
comforts Of friend ship and the
strength Of reciprocal love.

John Burke Of Ramsey.

The Democratic convention at

fellow townsman, John Burke, at

regard this fact as indubitable
evidence of its sanity Mr.. Burke
is an attorney Of far more than
average ability, and a citizen Of
which the commonwealth Of North
Dakota may justly feel proud. He
is even serious in every thought
and deed. The democrats have
chosen their best man, SO say
those who are old in the state.
Mr.. Burke is quite radical think
er. He takes advanced ground on
all political questions, and
may be said to be quite in
harmony with Mr.. Bryan on
the leading issues Of the day

The Launching Of . New

The law which authorized the

the product Of the soil will have q

to been unequalled in the United
States. Potatoes, corn and corn
stocks, beets of all varieties and
rye, will be demand for the sup
plying Of those stills. The by
products will be valuable for stock.
Animpulse will be given to diver

before ben realized. The fact Of
premier interest to the farmer is,
that the industry will be brought
to his door. In Germany, there
isat the present time a still Of

planted wherever the soil will

measured by the ton. We can
grow corn too. Many farmers
think this a dream. We wish to
assure these doubling ones that
there are fields Of corn in Ramsey
County, this state, as promising as
any to be found in Minnesota.
These stills will furnish home
market. And think of the reduc-
ton Of the cost in lighting and
cooking. The running of all kinds
of machinery will be reduced in
cost at least one half. The mil

HE
Gets Him Caps and Bells.


AZ short lane has sometimes a
turn. The tarkweather Times is
busy at the present time trying to
convict the Inter Ocean Of incon-
sistency in regard to the primary
law. It has always been smart
enough to lie-even q jaguar can
act a lie. But we never thought
it fool enough to publish evidence
of its own idiocy. From the Inter
Ocean Of the 18th Of May it quot
les a paragraph or two from the
middle Of an editorial in which q
condition Of affairs at Bismarck
was described at the time the pri-
mary law was up for discussion,
and with the zest and smirk Of the
average fish wife, seeks to make it
appear as a direct assertion, or an
opinion, of this paper on the pri-
mary law. The quotation, even
taken by itself, shows the absur-
dity of the claim, and when read
with the other parts Of the editori-
al is still more pronounced as q
description Iof the pestiferous
clamor of a lot Of fellows whose
only thought seemed to be the
holding up Of the candidates for
the state offices. It was believed
at Bismarck at the time of which
we are speaking, by many insur-
gents as well as by the stalwarts.
that if the law were enacted it
would be made an occasion for
graft by the very fellows who
we're clamoring for its adoption
We believe so still. That belief
did not then, does not now, cause
us to oppose the full primary law
We defended Davis for getting ali
he could Of that law. We are
proud Of the fact that we did
defend him. The passage Of tbs
law, as it now appears on the
statutes made easier the passing
of a resolution by stalwart con-
vention favoring its application to
all elective offices of the state.
The raving at the Inter-O Ocean by
this pettyfcgging lilliput is as
coherent as when it claims for the
insurgents the credit Of the blank
ct primary resolution in con-
vention where they were out
numbered two to one by the
stalwarts. Jimmy of the Ferry
and Thomie Thumb had better
know each other again, but let us
hope, for the credit of journalism
in Ramsey county. that the next
abortion will bear less resent lance
to either Of its progenitors.
