sive school for his successor, or man of more
conservative views?
OF the following suggested nominees, Can.
non, Fairbanks, Knox, Hughes and Taft, which
is your first, second and third choce2
Have you any other candidates in mind land

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Crop Prospects in a Nutshell.

The Independent some weeks ago promised
to give it's readers the correct information re-
garding the condition Of the crops, so lar as
possible. II the crops were to be poor, we
should make known the fact. Three or four
weeks ago it did look as tho the farmers would
be lucky if they got the seed back, but after
looking over conditions very carefully last Sun
day, we have concluded that on the average,
the crops are but little less if any than last
season, while the present high prices, makes us
conclude that the farmers will receive more
money for their crops this year than last. This
we believe is the general opinion all over the
northwestern portion OF the state.
Talk with almost any farmer and he will tell
you that he is satisfied with the prospects. You
know it takes good deal to satisfy North
Dakota farmer. You can bank lon getting an
extra large yield OF flax. This crop is looking
better every day.
On account Of the late season, more acres
were sown than usual, and the late rains brot
out this crop just right. The stand is unusu-
ally good, the straw Just the right length and
the bolls large and very numerous. FLAX will
be ready for harvest IN another month, and If a
little frost should appear, will not be damaged,
for flax will stard good deal OF frost without
suffering.
Wheat, whiyb looked pretty dubious for sew .
eral weeks, will be very fair crop. Some far
mers say they think they will get fifteen or
twenty bushels per acre, but the average will
not be more than eight or ten bushels. Wheat
has made wonderful growth in the past three
weeks. While this crop is thin on the ground,
the heads appear to be unusually large, and
the quality ought to be the BEST The cool
weather OF the past week has been just right for
the grain according to experts, being worth
millions OF dollars to this country. We cannot
say much for our oat crop. That which was
put in early is poor stand and weedy. Oats
will be big price the coming year and very
scarce Harvest will be late this year, little
grain ready before Sept. l. Some grain how
ever is turning now and will be ready to cut by
the Goth of the present month

Does Things.

Here is the way that things are done in
North Dakota: Ambrose was one year old on
July 13, and So 900 school house has just
been completed, cement walks have been placed
on both sides of Main street. and there are elk
ty business concerns The town has 'pula-
tion of 300 Two large elevators a'r doing
business and two more will be built thi> fall.
The town has two newspapers and the little
city will soon be Incorporated. A year AZ" liz
townsite was prairie, fifty miles from the near
eat railroad. 1t takes some places in the east
fifty years to make such record.

Post Up Politically.

Ii the farmers OF the United States spent half
as much time in trying to better political con-
ditions as they do in studying how to raise
more stuff at {, smaller price, they would do
themselves world OF good. Trusts are the
outgrowth OF political favers granted to Ger:
tain int erests, and these trusts have taxed
away from the farmers nearly all the wealth
produced for the last thirty years. We are
being taxed every day to keep up a system OF
schools that foster the idea that what has been
ought to be continued, and in this way we will
be kept busy working to create millionaines.
But all these things will he remedied when
the people are organized. -Date-F Farm

Over there in the east we can seea glow, faint
to be sure, but we know it to be the harbinger
OF the day, and it is not yet 2:3O, as the train
says. Broader and broader will grow the
streak 'until it CLOVIS into the blazing sun"
Three O'Clock and the light is enough for
young eyes if thew were awake, to begin to read
the book laid down at 10 last night What is
that? twitter and chrp? 1t is the little wren
who has his nest just at the door in the crotch
OF the tree, that we fastened there for him. 1t
isn't much OF a mansion just tin can COW
cred with rough bark from the woodpile, and
tied on with wire, with a wee hole in one end so
that bigger bros than he cannot enter. He or
his descendants have been living in that same
house for more than ten years now, except that
they take an excursion to the south every win
ter But he comes to his front perch and says
'.good morning" to the world OF birds. And
then from the nests of the robbins and the spar
rows and the swallows and the catbrds and the
orioles and the cedar birds and the blackbirds
and from many, many other bird homes come
the twttering, singing calls, from neighbor to
neighbor, from neighborhood to neighborhood,
until the air rings again and again with melo-
dies of those chOristers OF the temples OF God,
the archng trees Of the groves.
Perhaps 'Beast and bird have seen and
heard that which man knoweth not''-and these
feathered chojrs are are but ehoing the chorus
of the "morning stars which sang together"

Nav Have Third Trial.

Within a few daysthe papers IN the appeal OF
Major Murphy, who was found guilty offorgery
during second trial in Cass county district
court, will be presented to Judge Pollock for
veriicati, n. In the meantime Atty. General
McCue is preparing the brief in the case. While
it is the states attorneys business to try the
case, 1T seems that the attorney general has the
right to represent the state in an appeal. 1t is
generally believed that Murphy will receive q
third trial and in this case Ward county will
have an opportunity to spend a few more thous.
and dollars, if the case actually goes to trial
again.
