The LARGEST SEED EXHIBIT
Will be That Shown by O. H. viii ut
the State Fair Next Summer
Most Complete Ever Shown.

President A. I. Hunter of the State
Fair association has received letter
from Oscar HI. Will of the O. H. Will
& Co. seed concern of Bismarck, N. d.,
stating that he would bring to this
city for exhibit at the fair the largest
and most complete assortment ever
shown to the public in the northwest.
The spirit shown by Mr.. Will is very
commendable and it is to be hoped
that every North Dakota industry and
line of commercial life will be repre-
sented in a corresponding manner.
The directors of the state fair board
are very enthusiastic over the out
look for the coming fair and vouch
for the statement that North Dakota
will witness her first real fair during
1907.

was claimed that this outdoor mill

Washington, d. c.. Jan. 25.-Con-
gressmen are slick propositions.
They didn't want to raise their pay:
there was an opportunity to pass on
the proposed increase without being
recorded as favoring the proposition,
we'll. that was Il different matter.
Seriously, the salary proposition is
of more moment than is generally
conceded. The salaries of members
of Congress should be raised, and al
so the salaries of innumerable minor
government employees should re-
ceive attention. The fact that the
government does not get enough
work out of some employees should
not be assigned as an excuse for not
properly compromising those who
save the people millions every year.
The enforcement of the regulations
of the Civil Service Commission has
brought about Il great change in the
personnel OF the service. Theoretic-
ally. the selection of the best individ-
ual for the position will produce the
best results. but the reverse mas been
the case. The government gets a fair
service from its thousands OF work
ers by comparison of the good ami
the bad, but under the spoils system
all the important offices were filled
by political Migrants, and the amount
Of work done was not worth consid-
erins.
This condition still exists today to
considerable extent in the appoin-
tive offices. A man is appointed to
have charge of branch Of the gov
eminent service, and within a few
weeks he comes out in the papers
with an elaborate scheme of reorgan-
ization. What are the facts? The
employees are not allowed generally
to have word to say about the mer-
est routine detail. They nurse their
ambitions and study the system of op-
Grafton of the work, and when the
new chief comes in, they run to him
with their ideas and he puts two and
two together and promulgates an in
novation. Then after the change is
made, no one is listened to until an
other change is made For instance,
the Land Office of the Interior De-
partment will soon have another head.
Wonderful CO things will be forth
coming within few weeks after the
new head assumes charge although 1t
has required years for the employees
to gain working knowledge of the
elaborate system of public lands.
Not only congressman but the lead
ers of the Republican party are slick
propositions. Now We will have a
maximum and minimum tariff rate
with the power in the hands of the
chief executive to change it at will
within the limitations. 1t will have
two effects:
First GENERALIZATION of power in the
hands of the President; Second,
swinging into line many people who
are tariff cranks and yet do not know
anything about the matter except the
effects of the tariff upon their own
particular business.
The tariff is question of greed in
many cases and it is looked at in the

the western part OF our state has an
abundance Of sand. gravel and stone

we have cement mines in our own

nest feasible way out of the diff
ficulty that now comfronts the farm

Home, Farm and School

The interests of farm, home, ana
school in our rural districts are so
closely interviewer that we believe
1t good policy to run articles for these
all in one department of the family
paper.
Since the Introduction of Elemen-
tary Agriculture as study into our
schools the farm and school interests
become more closely allied than ever.
and as North Dakota is a large agri-
cultural state and the children of our
rural schools are farmers children,
both parents and children should be-
come interested in this department
which We have created for their spec
ial benefit and which will help to
make this a real family paper ana

besides the incidental expenses for

this, the poor teacher will retard the
progress and place the school in such
chaotic condition that it will require

All over the country there comes
a general demand for an increase in
teachers salaries. 1t is now generally
understood that in order to keep able
men and women in the teachers ranks
an adequate salary must be paid. 1t
has been learned that those who teach
for small pay and use school teach
ing as stepping-stone to something
better take very little interest in
building up our schools. While it is
essential that school boards reduce
the running, expenses of the schools
as much as possible it is poor economy
to begin the cutting down of expenses
with the lowering Of the teachers

meeting elected Mr.. Gompers first vice

Nobody Is found in the senate
opposing openly the restriction Of child
labor contemplated in Senator Bev-
eridge's bill. But on the same day
Senator Spooner and Senator Tillman
are seen lining up together against
the bill, on the ground that it is an
invasion of states rights. Senators
Spooner and Tillman standing for the
same policy make an amazing sight
Tillman who, with all his faults,
stands as often as any other senator
against the invasion Of public rights
by special interests; Spooner, regarded
as chief spokesman for those inter-
ests. An issue that YIELDS such diverse
elements must have inherent merits
in the view OF those in position to
profit by 1t. In fact these merits are
obvious. Senator Tillman desires the
safety Of the children above the profits
of the manufacturers. But he is forced
to favor achieving these ends by state
legislation, practical impossibility,
out of fear that the increase Of ma
tional authority involved in dealing
with the matter nationally might open
the way for national interference with

solid south, then, forced to fight the
battle OF the child despoilers to save
its negro policy. In the north public
sentiment is practically unanimous on
the child labor question, and the in
terests opposed are hardly of them
selves strong enough to make head
way against that sentiment. But the
centralizing tendency Of the govern
ment involved in national child labor
legislation threatens great centralizing
commercial movements which now win
as the exploiters of child labor win.
