The state supreme court has declared

The state supreme court has declared
the law, requiring holders of government
special tax stamps, for the sale liquor, to
publish a notice of their possession Of
them and the premises where the sale of
liquor was being carried on, is constitu-
tional and can be enforced. This de-
cision is "a big a victory for the temper
ance people as the defeat of the "com-
missioner act" was a blow. If the
officers of the various counties do their
duty, and force the holders of these
government permits to publish the same
it will have a tendency to wipe out the
numerous blind pigs of the state We
will wait with all the patience possible
to see the list from county, as of course
our county attorney will proceed at once
to see that this law is complied with.

The recent railroad disaster on the
Boston and Maine rallway,by which fifty
persons were killed or injured, directs
attention to statistics recently given out
by the interstate commerce commission.
During the fiscal year 1906, 1898 per-
sou were killed and 81, 7O6 injured onthe
railroads of the United States, as against
$685. killed and 29,O27 injured in 1890.
During our war with Spain our total
losses In killed and wounded amounted
to less than 5O0--or. to be exact, 300 kill
ed and IS wounded. During the war
between japan and Russia, the Japanese
casualties on land amounted to 1882
Yet railroad casualties in the United
States in a single year were 109, 1924.
That is a d%lsgraceful exhibit for the Unit
ed States, and goes to show that we set
a low estimate upon the value of human
life.

slider just one item from the report of

the OUTLOOK FOR BRYAN

Roger Sullivan has given up. The
Bryan wave is too strong for HIM. His eff
forts to defeat Bryan will be like those
used last spring to defeat Dunn-a fusi
lade in the rear with noiseless and smoke
less powder after the nomination. Car
ter Harrison, also, is out betimes for
Bryan-the same Harrison who came to
run against Dunno at the Democratic
primaries, with the cry of "Let the best
man win and the defeated n jump in
and help electthe other" but who, when
the best man did win at the primaries,
raj away from the city to keep out of
the campaign. Neither Mr.. Sullivan nor
Mr.. Harrison can be of any real use IN
the Bryan movement If they could he
they wouldn't be, not without a bargain
in advance. But their declarations are
useful as indicative of the latitude of
the bandwagon.-The Public

CAN'T BEAT NORTH DAKOTA.

Have you got cold feet? IT you have
look around before you start out to find
a place to swarm" them. Because the
last winter was a hard one and because
the crop has been a light n is no
reason why a man should pull up and
try some place he knows nothing about.
The country north of US is ten times
worse off than North Dakota. To the
south and west crops have been apartial
failure this season as we'll as here, and
the farmers are a great deal worse off
than who grows grain in this state. All
kinds of grain is a good price and what
the farmer has to sell, even though his
crop may be short, will net very nearly
as much as some of the big crops of
former years. Wheat is lowering around
the dollar mark and is bound to go
higher If the crop failure reports from
European countries are reliable. Pota-
toes have been selling for one dollar a
bushel all the fall and before spring
they will be worth more. There is every
reason why the farmers of North Da-
kota should feel contented this year even
if their granaries are not bursting with
a surplus of grain. When the whole
country is short cropped like the United
States is this season is the very worst
time to move. Don't you do it.

NORTH DAK0TA'S BIG GAINS.

North Dakota's population has been
increased wonderfully during the past
two years according to the figures given
out from the office of the superintendent
of schools of the state. These figures
show the population of the state OF
children of school age, and according to
the statement given out, there are 1872,
939 boys and girls in this class. Using
the multiple of five and six-hundredths,
the total population of the state today is
672,671 people, an immense increase over
the census of 1905. The last census
taken in North Dakota was that Of 1905,
authorized by the legislature. The re-
suit of this thorough census was the
finding of 437,070 people in the state.
According to the school population, the
increase since the 1905 censu has been
almost incredulous, being 235,6Ol, more
than 100000 persons a year. The i'm
migration into North Dakota the past
two years has been remarkable, but the
figures show it to be much larger than
was supposed. The western part of the
state has been filled up rapidly. much
new territory being opened up to settle
ment, and the lands have not lasted long
either. Every train coming into the
state during the past two years has
brought at least one new settler, while ir
the fall and the spring of the year, whole
train loads of homeseekers were brought
to North Dakota from eastern states
The bulk of these have settled in thu
newer districts of North Dakota, though
many have remained in the older sections
and have purchased farms. Large farm'
have been broken up and sold out, thu
making the population of many of tn
eastern tier of counties much larger
This increase in population has not onl,
been noticeable on the farm, but also il
the cities, while in the smaller towns tn
SANE condition can be found. Tn
multiple used on the school population
has been figured out to be very exac1
and the total population of the state a
figured by that multiple can not be NOR
than from 10000 to $4,000 out of the way
it is believed.

SENDING away to catalogue houses for
goods that can be purchased at home is
risky enough, but smuggling articles
across the boundary line from Canals is
still more dangerous. A farmers wife

SIS worth of other supplies. A special
