In a recent speech at Lexington, KY
Secretary Taft called attention to the
South's lack of representation in the
councils Of the nation, and said that
this state Of affairs came about be
cause one single issue had made 1t
the perpetual tail Of the democratic
party, so that, however small is the
Northern head, it wags that tail. The
South has permitted the shadow OF an
issue that circumstances ought long
ago to have removed to bind it to the
Democratic party, no matter what pr1n'
cipals or candidates that party adopts
The Secretary is optimistic enough
we understand, to think that the race
problem Is working itself out, but
some Of the recent occurrences in the
South do not support this view.

Interesting Case at Land Office

An interesting case was on trial at
the local land Office yesterday, the out
come of which will be of consider
able interest to the public, as it will
establish a precedent in cases which
are liable to come up at any time.
Sometime ago a man by the name
of Dobesh contested a valuable piece
of land near Anamoose, this state.
Before the contest was decided he filed
on a piece of land in Canada. After
wards the contest was decided in his
favor. Before he filed on it however
a man by the name of Palmeter offer
ed script for the land. Dobesh filed
on the land and afterwards relinquish.
ed to a man by the name of Schultz
The contest is now between Palmeter
and Schultz, and the question hinges
upon whether Dobesh was citizen
of the United States and competent to
file on public land at the time he made
| his entry.
Palmeter is represented by Copp &
| Co., of Washington, D. c.. and Burke
& Middaugh Of this city.
Schultz is represented by Attorney
E. F. Flynn of this city and Attorney
J. S. Wooledge of Kenmare.

and the PHILIPPINES will begin their
first restricted efforts at self-govern-

which constitutes the upper house of
the legislative body as we'll as the ex-
ecutive power Of the islands, will in
itiate some important legislation and
many measures will of course, be
brought forward by native members.
The course and measure of success
of this political experiment will be
watched with a good deal of interest
on this side of the big water. where

A recent canvas of the sentiment Of

ELIMINATION FROM POLITICS.

The present managers Of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
are taking pains to repeat their dec
laration in favor of eliminating the
tariff from politics by having a per
manent and non-partizan tariff com
mission created. and every time they
ring a change upon it the whole free
trade press echoes and reverberates
throughout the country.
Not long ago Congressman Burton
of Ohio, was going to eliminate Sena
tor Foraker from public life. but the
Republican state committee of Ohio
while giving a divided endorsement o.
Secretary Taft for the presidency
gave a unanimous Endorsement Of Mr.

Foraker for the senatOrship.

FORAKER Tor the SenaCOrSh1p.
Many public men of both parties
think there is going to be some more
eliminating, and that Secretary Taft is
put forward as only a temporary rep
resentative of my policies" and at
the right time will cheerfully hear and
heed the great spontaneous demand of
the people for longer term for Theo-
dore Roosevelt than George Washing,
ton would accept or than U. S. Grant
could get.
But the constitution still stands and
the tariff cannot be eliminated from
politics. Some of the people refuse
to have their opinions and preferences
dictated to them, therefore courage
and honesty and conservatism cannot
be eliminated from politics There
is a sober second thought in this
country which breads sensationalism
as badly as it breads Organism. there
fore no sturdy citizen who carries his
opinions under his hat is going to be
eliminated from politics. Elimination
will not be found good road to nom,

TYPHOID FEVER AND OYSTERS.

TYPHOID FEVER AND OYSTERS.
1t is understood that two million of
oysters are taken every year from the
waters of New York Bay and the ad-
jacent channels into which the sewage
of New York is discharged. The New
York bay pollution committee exam
med thousands of oytsers from these
beds a few years ago and could not
find one free from typhoid germs
The test was repeated with oysters
from Gravesend bay and from the
shores of Staten Island, and higher
percentage Of diseased oysters was
found.
The sewage of New York was swept
out to sea, was the comforting theory
held for a long time by residents Of
that section, but it has been found
that the outgoing and incoming tides
meeting in the Narrows drives the
sewage back, so that nearly eighty
per cent of the solid matter in the
sewage is left floating in the bay or
deposited in the muddy bottom. AL
most no food fishes can be found in
| New York bay, and the oysters which
fatten there are not fit for human
| food. That the three fold increase OF
typhoid from August to September
the time when the "R" months begin
is to be ascribed to this cause, there
can be no doubt.

Better FARMING

1t is an i'll wind that blows no good.
The experiences Of Ramsey county
farmers this year will be productive
Of much good IN the future, and will
almost revolutionize the methods Of
farming.
This year has demonstrated the fact
that the time has passed in this state
when a man can seed ground regard
less Of its condition and grow a good
crop. The result is that there will
be more following done next year than
ever before and more care will be
taken of land.
Many farmers have expressed their
intention to try double" summer fal-
lowing. This is done by blowing the
land after seeding and again just be.
fore harvest. Experiments this year
have demonstrated that land treated
in this manner will produce Just
double the amount OF land spring
plowed. The double following syg.
tenn cleans the soil thoroughly and
plf ces 1t in fine condition for seeding.

orally adopted would greatly reduce
the cost II farming in that it would
require less help.

important Decision

In a decision filed by the supreme
court yesterday the law passed by the
last session of the legislature, requir-
ing holders of government special tax
stamps, for the sale Of liquor, to pub
lish a notice of their possession Of
them and the premises where the sale
of liquor was being carried on, was
declared constitutional by the su-
preme court.
The matter came up on writ OF
habeas corpus in the case of R. e. Fla
herty against o. G. Hanson, as sheriff
Of Grand Forks county. Flaherty fail
ed to publish his notice, was arrested
under the law and sued out habeas
corpus, claiming the law was in viola
ton of the constitution Of the United
States and Of the state, in that it add.
ed to the cost Of the government
special tax stamp and that It was
special legislation.
The supreme court holds that the
requirement of publication is a legiti'
mate state police power.
The law was passed with a view OF
discouraging the holding of special tax
stamps for liquor sales and to aid liz
the enforcement OF the prohibition
law and to give notice Of where un
lawful or other sale Of liquor was
being carried on.

Performers" and Why They Exist.

Performers" and Why They Exist.
Take this from The Chronotype as
straight piece OF goods: Open the
veins of almost any anti-Hansbrough
man and you will find his blood black
with the virus of hate inspired by
some real or fancied slight at the
hands of the senior senator. Take,
for instance, the case of Boise, of the
Sherbrooke Tribune. Of all the news
paper enemies possessed by the
Devils Lake statesman, this fellow
Boise is the most virulent. There is
never anything on the editorial page
Of his pleary little sheet but that is
intended to be derogatory to Hans
brough. Bosses hate is purely pois-
onous as the venom of rattlesnake.
There's a reason. Some six or seven
years ago Boise made trip to Devils
Lake and presented Senator Hans
brough with a lengthy, T-am-entitled
petition praying for the appointment
of Indian agent at Fort Berthold. The
senator explained to the importunate
Boise that Senator McCumber had a
candidate for that position in the per-
son of Major Thomas, and that he
(Senator Hansbrough) had agreed to
Join him (McCumber in recommend
ing Thomas appointment Ever since
that time Boise has maintained a vic
ious and unjust warfare against Sena-
tor Hansbrough through the columns
of his paper It's pretty much the
same wherever you find EN-. From
St. Thomas to Sherbrooke and from
Leeds to LaMoure, the senator's would
be detractors are inoculated with the
same black and bitter germ of hatred,
which got into their systems in much
the same way as in the case just cited.
Can anyone remember of the So
called "old gang" constituting them
selves into a tribunal and nominating
themselves for the latest offices in
the gift of the people as did the hand
full of insurgent leaders last week, at
Fargo? Verify the reform" hand
