Deliberately Lying.
Fargo Forum.]


Before the primary election was
held the stalwarts announced there
would be about 1872 votes for their
faction in the state convention. The
election returns show that their esti-
mate was correct. There are at least
nine votes in Barnes county that will
be with them and six in Trail county,
but leaving these out they have 1874
votes in the state convention solid.
The Grand Forks Herald deliberately
misrepresented conditions all through
the canvass and still claims that the
result is in doubt, when it knows that
it is not only disappearing, but is
actually lying in regard to conditions.
Take Dickey county, for instance. The
Herald puts it in the doubtful column;
it is for Tom Marshall's denomination
first, last and all the time. The
Herald intimates that Mr. Marshall
might be induced by the insurgents to
step one side this time, give his dele
gates to the insurgents under prom
Use that they would support him two
years hence for the senate in place of
Hansbrough. Does any one who
knows Mr.. Marshall believe he would
take any stock in any such promises,
especially coming from such source?
Does any one imagine that the voters
of Dickey county would endorse any
such move on Mr.. Marshalls part, if
he were to take it? No, decidedly no.
This is on a par with all the other
claims of the insurgent press. The re-
turns show that the stalwarts have
two to one delegates in the state con-
vention, compared with the opposition.
The insurgents are whistling to keep
up courage, and the editors making
such claims show that they hold par
tisanship above publishing reliable
newspaper. What can be the object of
such deliberate lies? They cannot con-
tinue to deceive the public. The end
must come soon. For week the re-
suit has been known. There has prac-
tically been no change in conditions.
No paper can continue such course
and retain the confidence of its read
ers in any respect. The Forum is as
tonished that Editor Winship should
allow his young men to so deliberately
, lie from day to day. Come; Mr.. Win
ship, wake up and have some truth
IN the election reports published in
the Herald.

THE REASON WAY.
~0. 4 jewell,
Secretary.

1t is unnecessary to devote more
space to the result of the recent cleo
ton. as the will of the people was so
emphatically registered that those who
had hoped to make even a showing
towards the disruption of the repub-
Ecan party, will find little consola-
ton in the truth, and in fact, they
are now carrying on a crusade of de-
ception for the purpose of keeping
from the public if possible the enor-
NOUS extent of the drubbing which
they received at the hands, of the
voters.
1t is well. however, to keep one
significant point prominently before
the people SO that the falsity of the
accusation need not again be shown.
For years it has been the policy of the
disrnptionists to assert SO far as they
c0uld do SO by insinuations, that the
men who were selected as delegates
to the state convention were put upon
the block and traded like cattle in the
market.
This insinuation has been standing
disgrace to the state. For while abb
soautely untrue and 80 known to the
Deople Of the state. those who live out
ssde the state do not know 80, and

POSTM ASTERS AS BUSINESS
INDEXES.

According to the REIMBURSEMENT of
postmasters' salaries now being adj
justed in this state, twelve Offices re-
ceive an increase of one hundred dol
This fact is significant in indicating
the substantial development of the
state. 1t will be seen from the list of
Offices where the salaries were in
creased and which included Grand
Forks, Bismarck, Courteney, Churches
Ferry, Donnybrook, Edgely, James
town, Kenmare, Lansford, Lisbon,
Tower City and Washburn, that they
were we'll distributed over the state.
The amount of business done by
post Office is fair criterion of the
industrial standing of the community.
The increases We're made on the
amount of business transacted during
the last fiscal year over that of the
preceding year. In this instance i,
shows that all over the state there is
steady and uniform increase in the
postal business and therefore similar
increase in the prosperity of the
state.
1t would he reasonable to conclude
that the increase of postal receipts is
largely due to the increased number
of people who have become patrons in
the several communities during the
past year. Upon this basis it would
appear that North Dakota is having
steady increase in population not
only in the newer portions of the state
but in the portions which have been
settled so long that they have come
to be recognized as old communities.
Of course the increase indicated by the
postal business would not be fair
criterion for the western portion of
the state where large number of
new offices have been created taking
their patronage from the older Offices
and to that extent have not been in
cluded in the conditions indicated.

THE COUNTY FAIR.

1t is doubtful if the average farmer
gives sufficient attention to the county
fair. This in large measure is the
fault of the man who has charge OF
the department of publicity of these
| institutions. They get out a stereo-
typed premium list, absolutely essen
| tial in relation to the fair, but not
sufficient to arouse the interest of
the masses of the famers in the work.
Somehow the prevalent idea among
the farmers is that the fair is means
of boosting the city where it is held
instead of being an institution exclu-
sively for the farmers themselves.
They come to the city on these occa-
sions more for the purpose of seeing
the novelty attractions which are al
ways provided than for the purpose of
investigating the merits of the farm
products on exhibition.
The methods of conducting these
fairs should be so changed that the
agriculturalists would understand that
the principal attractions are their own
farm products. That in them the peo-
pie will find the greatest show. True,
the tendency to convert the fairs into
gigantic pleasure resorts with all their
vaudeville attractions, has gotten the
farmer in the background SO that his
exhibits become secondary matters,
and the ambition to win premiums has
in a large measure lost its stimulus.
The winning Of premiums at fairs
not only pays for the farmers out
ing, but inspires the winner with an
ambition to make further efforts to
more successful work. One does not
know his capabilities until put to the
test, and no farmer can size up his
products until put in the prize ring
in competition with others.
Comparisons may be odious, yet
they bring out colors, merit, size and
value. An article purchased at store
among thousand similar things be-
comes magnified when seen at home
alone. So a farm product may appear
of phenomenal size or merit at home,
yet be dwarfed in appearance when
placed on exhibition with similar pro-
ducts.
Fairs are educational in that one
sees new and better varieties. improy-
ed breeds, and learns Of better meth
DDS and up-to-dats ways Of growing
and handling products.
Socially, fairs are very valuable.

A Clean Sweep.
Fargo CALL


In commenting on the probable lin
ing-up of the legislature, the Bismarck
Tribune says:
From the nature of the result in
the several districts and the avowed
platforms of the nominees before the
primary election, it is estimated that
the stalwart faction will have ten to
fifteen majority in the house and five
or six in the senate, giving the insur
gents the benefit of every doubt where
there is question as to the afiliation
of any nominee. 1t is safe to say,
therefore, that the stalwarts will con-
troll both the state convention and the
legislature"
The Tribune's figures are very con-
servative. The Call believes 1t knows
whereof it AYERS in stating that the
stalwart majority in the house will
be at least four or five greater than
the Tribune's estimate.
