TELL THE TRUTH

The land boomers of the south
western states are taking 5advan-
tage Of the reports sent from this
state Of the suffering and coal
shortage during the past . anuary
to turn the tide Of immigration
from North Dakota to;&their sec
tons of the country During the
past five years North Dakota has
put these boomers ont Of business.
Their lands were a drug on the
market. The people were intent
on coming to this great land of
promise and they were not to be
sidetracked to any other locality.
Now these land boomers are ring
ing the changes on the exaggerat-
ed reports Of the terrible suffering
in this state, and the eastern pa
pers are publishing the craziest
reports imaginable, largely made
up in their Offices, in hopes of
keeping their own people from
moving here. u
During the past ten years the
winters. here have been 90 mild

THE YOUNG MAN IN POLL.
TICS,
AND DEVILS LAKE FREE PRESS

Sherburn T, Becker, the boy
mayor of Milwaukee, has been
making speeches in several of the
the large cities of our country and
what he has said in his "set''
speeches relative to the young
man in politics is, in a great
measure, quite true, but like most
young men he overestimates the
young mans ability. "You can't
put an old head onto young shout
ders" is an old saying as true to"
day as when it was first uttered.
The young man is full of zeal
and pluck and progressiveness,
but from his lack of experience he
is likely to ''slop over' and this is
what young Becker did in his
speech recently in Louisville, Ky.
He was there with the ICON"
talk strong when he said:
Happily for us, we Of Milwaukee
have taken some of your lovely
women captive, and have learned
to admire them more and more as
we have known them better. And
we have returned the compliment
by sending you some of. our tairest
daughters to become the brides of
Louisville.
[ know, and you know that I
know, have not yet filed the cat
alogue of your titles to fame, and
I cannot fill it. We have known
the fragrance and the favor, as
well as the reputation of your fine
''old private stock" and we have
never needed a government pure
food certificate to tempt us to it's
enjoyment.
My anxiety has been, as I read
the news of late, that water was
getting too fashionable down here,
for, like the wise old man OF anoth-
or generation, but of cultivated
tastes, I believe that water savors
altogether too much Of sinners
since the food" Noah too you
will remember, showed his pre-

is a bauhel and for the past three 81
years has spent two months o.
each winter in g lifornia Sor Flor
ida This winter he will spend
about three weeks in " irginia, and
next winter he intends 70 visit
the Hawaiian Islands. he il IN n
ric and le2 made /
every dollar 81 his fortune out Oh
North akota' 3 iilllcomparab bic
soil. The success Of / this young
man is not the z exc option; there
are thousands who have even done
batter than he right here 3in North
Dakota dnring tho. same; length
Iof time. And you can't make any
,@of them believe: that they: have:
suffered from the severe winters
in this state. That would these
young. fellows h. have acc mplished
in the same length 81 time if they
had stayed is the east q had gone
toEany other state in the Union ??
This talk about our hard winters
may be the means IF keeping
some timid people away from 10
eating here, and il will be IA good
thing for the country This state
doesn't q want those kind Of people.
IT wants the sturdy manhood of
the country, the fellow who is
full of enterprise, energy and
determination to win. IF you have
these REQUESTS you do not need
much, money in order to. win
fortune here. r. r. H. ~. -,

JUDGE to water as soon as he, got
ashore. Same with me! And
here l am, no particular friend of
water, anyway except for bathing
purposes.
His remarks in the above shows
quite conclusively that his en-
vironments have not been the best.
Whatever may have been his de-
sire to use Milwaukee beer instead
OF pure water or to exchange it
occasionally for "old private stock"
should have been kept in the
background. If his mission to
Louisville, KY, was to advertise
"The beer that made Milwaukee
famous then his speech was we'll
worded, but if he went there as a
rising young politician to make a
great chit" as an honest, earnest,
progressive young man then
he certainly used the wrong intro
duction to his speech.
He reminds the writer verv
much of a young county superin-
tendent Of schools who was imbued
with a spirit of greatness and
who had "set" speech which he
wore thread-bare because he
reiterated it on every occasion
that presented itself whether be-
fore an audience of children or
grey haired men and whenever he
attempted to sandwich it in be-
tween remarks suited to the oc-
casion he was always sure to
s'slop over and spoil the whole
mess"
Young Becker's "set" speech
has some very pointed arguments
and sounds Well when given alone,
unalloyed with his impersonal
likes and dislikes, but does not
TT well with the rest of the ''gush"
hesometimes gives as local "taffy."
The average young man of to-
day has mistaken idea that to
win his way to the front he must
''pat the dear people on the back"
While it is admitted that flat
terry is the food OF fools, but now
and then the men of wit, condo
cends to take bit'' yet it is better
if one is preaching. honesty is
the first principle, that he be
honest and frank in all Of his re-
marks. "Praise to the face is open
disgrace" is not literally true: ]
for one deserving of praise is en- :
titled to receive it and too often it
happens that we receive our flow
ers for the dead who, had they
received them while living might

The young man should be
encouraged Is take active
part il the upbuild ling of his
country. but he must hot get an
idea that because hes Has had
better educational advantages
than his forefather that the ..old
duffer' doesn't know anything.
The rough school of experience
lis often the best safeguard to
mans indiscretion. This tie cid
man has and the young man lacks.
Too often, young people, in, re-
fering to their parents speak Of
them lightly, as if they them
selves, possessed talents superior
to those of their parents, from
whom they have inherited all that
they have. The differences being
in the . opportunity to- develop
talents that lie dormant IN their
ancestors 49, -: 55s4::3s,st. .:. v. :
Young Becker is correctSin his
stetments that to the young man
is given vigor and strength to
pursue a purpose relentlessly= but
to the old man he should ever
turn for counsel lest hefall by the
wayside. The young man should
begin early to attempt the solu-
ton of commercial and political
and social problems SO that by
the time he has reached the edge
of his greatest mental strength he
is equipped to do effective work.
Hartman "The Colossus Of
Roads" was past so when he
began the chief work of his :. life,
yet he had fitted himself for; this
great work through early training.
Commodore Vanderbilt was past Sc
when he entered railroading and
SO it was with most of the presi-
dents of the United States. Over
80 percent were past so years Of
age when they took the oath Of
Office and five were past 60. Pres
ident Roosevelt is the only presi--
dent under so years of age .that
achieved any distinction as presi- 4
dent of the United States. . o.
casionally a young man FORCES his
way to the front in politics but
these are exceptions rather than
the rule. 5:s ~

NEW YORK SHIPPERS COMPLAIN.
Want Railroads to Furnish Proper
and Plenty of Produce Cars.

ALBANY, N. Y, August A.-Co:nplaint
has been made by the New York State Ship
pers' Protective Association against the
freight service of railroad companies operat-
Ing in this state, according to- statement
given out tonight by the public service COM
mission in the second district. The shippers
association consists Of about 100 members
in central and western New York, who carry
on an extensive produce business. The
complaint is directed against the New York
Central and Hudson River, Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western, Erie, Lehigh Valley
and Pennsylvania railroad companies, and
the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg Rail-
way company and all of the lines in the
state owned. operated or controlled by them.
The Shippers Association asks that these
companies be required TO properly equip
cars furnished for the shipping Of produce
with grain doors, bulkheads and false
bottoms and furnish such cars properly
equipped to carry such produce free from
frost during the months of November, De-
cember, January, February and March of

The shippers also ask that the companies
be compelled to furnish a sufficient num-
Der of cars at all times to carry the prod
use, whether the cars are to be run off
from The affiliated lines of the originating
roads or otherwise: that the companies di-
rect their agents in all cases to insert the
rate of freight in the bill of lading at the
loading station; also to compel the COM
panies to give prompt attention to claims
for goods lost or damaged in transit and
that shippers receive the same treatment
from the railroad companies on demurrage
charges that the railroads expect from the
shippers.
