THE WAYS OF THE DEMOCRACY.

The Evening Times was prepared
from the day of it's first issue for the
treatment it was accorded by the en-
inent democratic orators who spoke at
the Duis celebration the night of the
election.
We knew that the .esta blishment in
this city of genuine republican paper
something that Grand Forks has not
had for many years-would arouse
the hostility of every democrat here
and for miles about.
We knew that it would stir the true
ulent blood Of those-few in number.
we are glad to say-who have been
content to fatten at the republican
crib. ever ready then as they are now
to drive their poisoned daggers into
the back of the party at the first op-
portunity.
We knew that the Evening Times
would be sneered at. condemned and
maligned by all of these. We are not
disappointed. On the contrary, we are
serenely happy in the thought that the
first outpouring of wrath has taken
place. We had not ventured to hope
for SO early demonstration. although
Its coming was as certain as it is that
democratic politicians like the smell
of blood. AS the Evening Times grows
apace and continues to advocate re-
publican principles. there will be more
of the same kind: there will be further
exhibitions of the ways of democracy,
and ere long republicans will begin to
see the meaning of it.
The republican party isn't perfect.
1t has its faults. but we think it has
improved and we know that it has
performed great work in the world.
The democratic party has not i'm
proved. 1t is the same yesterday, to-
L day and tomorrow.

MERRIFIELD's INFLUENCE.

The gift of thirty thousand dollars
to the state university by Andrew Car
negie to be used in establishing a
library is of far more Importance to
that institution and through it to the
state at large than would appear from
a casual study of the matter.
The university occupies a strong
position in the list of institutions of its
character. though it is among the
youngest.
Congress recognized its importance
when the state was created and gave
literally Of the public domain for its
endowment.
q It has stamped it's character upon
the people Of the state. 1t has sent
out from its various departments an
army OF young men and women whose
broad training and profound scholar
ship have made them leaders Of their
feilowmen. s2
Now comes the announcement that

SCIENTIFIC ACRICrLTuRE.


Secretary Wilson, probably the
greatest student of agricultural con-
ditions in the world. is of the opinion
that the time is near at hand when
the triumph of science over nature
will be complete and there will be no
crop failures.
This does not mean that natural
laws have been changed, for broadly
speaking nature is unchanging. But
it means that man has so studied these
laws and is tilling the soil in har-
mony with them rather in defiance
of them.
The science of agriculture instead
OF being a chance on the pleasure of
the elements as it once was, is now
almost as exact as that of the mechan-
The farmers first business is to
know what his land is best adapted
for: and to select his crops best suit
cd to it, and to treat it according to
, It's needs. ..f.
The agents of the department are
hunting the world for the crops best
adapted TO the different parts of a
wide expanse of territory, so that even
now there~are arid tracts in the great
southwest once thought capable Of
producing only rattlesnakes and liz
yards, where bountiful crops reward
the tiller's hand.
The richest harvest now ripen in
what only few years ago was ac-
counted a part of the great American
desert.
The varieties of wheat and corn
that require more heat and moisture,
for example, are selected for locali-
ties affording abundance of both.
Those which. are able to withstand
much cold and mature in short sea-
son have been selected for the fertile
regions of the northwest.
This seed selection carried out is
developing class of plants for every
portion of the country that are cap
able of developing under normal con-
ditions in the climate and soil con-
ditions in which they are placed.
These things will not prevent
drouths. Neither will they avoid a
Hood in the Red river But they will
make agriculture as certain as any
other avocation, and will largely elm
mate the element of chance.

through the donation OF the ex-iron
master.
1t is worth while to pause for a mo-
ment to ascertain the reason for the
unparalleled success that has marked
the history of the state university.
During the last decade the present
head of the institution has directed it's
affairs, He has been surrounded by
the ablest men in the several depart
ments that could be found. No chair
has been unworthily filled.
But as an executive power, Presi-
dent Merrifeld has been a leader even
among leaders.
1t is we'll known that Mr. Carnegie
is willing and even anxious to dis
tribute his vast millions among de-
serving applicants and that this dis
tribution has been largely in the form
of libraries. But at the same time it
is known that these donations are not
made without due consideration, and
only upon strongly presented cases.
II it were otherwise, the Carnegie
fortune, vast as it is, would soon be
dissipated to the four, winds of the
earth.
One OF the conditions of these dona-
lions is that the recipients shall pro-
vide means OF perpetuating the ben
efits of the gift.
In the case of the university there
is practically no conditions. Mr.. Car
negie recognized in President Merri-
field man OF strong character and
lasting influence, and it was upon
these that the gift was based
Nor will the donor be disappointed.
| The impress of the present executive
will last long after the SHOWS of age
have silvered the hair of those who
are now his pupils. The principles
which he has lived into the university
will remain as its unwritten law when
its walls no longer echo to the voice
| of those who knew him. His influence
upon the lives and characters of the
students will be power that will de-
teruine the course of the people to.

was associated.

nually until the balance is paid.
The renter will not be able to do
much better than this on a rental con-
tract. and after several years will be
just where he began. But If the money
paid in had been applied on the pur-
chase of the land he would have had
considerable amount paid on the
purchase price.
The man who has been renting in
! the older states and who has been pay
ing tribute to the land owners will be
surprised to learn that these things
probably been renting for years and
at the end of the year has been just
about able to make his books balance.
He has his stock and machinery and
probably few hundred dollars in the
bank.
He can purchase in this state farm
on the plan outlined for probably fif-
teen dollars per acre. with three hun
dred dollars cash. On an average
quarter with proper cultivation and
fair season the yield should not be
less than one thousand dollars Half
of this should pay the expenses of the
crop except the labor of the farmer
himself. and pay the living expenses
OF his family.
This would enable him to pay for
his farm in three years There have
been instances where one crop paid
the price of the farm. but if it even
required five years to do so. it would
be profitable investment.
No other state can offer such in
ducements to the Industrious man
with small capital. 1t is only possible
here because of the great discrepancy
between the selling price and the
yielding value of land.
In this connection it is worthy of
note that land which sells for twenty
and thirty dollars per acre in the
open market will produce a crop that
is worth ten to fifteen dollars per
acre.
Not all parts OF the state will do
this of course. but in many counties
there is plenty of land of this kind on
| the market.

Washington, April 1O.-According to
official information received in this
city Italian anarchists are arriving in
the United States in great numbers at
both the Pacific and Atlantic seaports.
Diplomatic representatives of the Ital-
ian government have positive informa-
ton to this effect and have brought the

States. Through these representatives
at San Francisco and Baltimore the
immigration officials have been advised
of the recent landing of number of
anarchists from Italy. The city of
Baltimore, it is stated, is rapidly be-
coming an anarchistic center. The
Italian consuls are engaged in assist
ing the immigration officials with a
view to locating these men and it was
said today that very shortly there will

grafton authorities, sufficient data upon
which to make number of arrests.
