are slums, with their he1l-holes. There
are saloons, with drunkenness and
brutality, there are underfed and over
worked men and women in our great
cities Will the rosy, posey doctrine
of the long-haired man and the short
haired woman doctrinaire smile these

God is in His Heaven-yet, all's
not right with the world" It's going
to be right and that's why we can well
afford to be optimists. But not the
kind that expects to usher in the mil
lennium by smile. There is work
to do, and fighting, too. 1t is work
and a fight that requires red-blooded
men, 1t is a task that has the assur-
ance Of success, because God is in the
heavens. 1t is great thing to real
ize that it is His task, working through
us. We are commissioned to it. That
should give nerve to the arm, and
power to the blow of every fellow
who has taken upon himself his share
OF the task of helping redeem the
world from the particular evil which
he sees most.

Making Manly Fight for Nomination
as Judge Of District Court.
Elsewhere in this issue may be
found Frank R. Waters announcement
that he is candidate for the repub-
lican nomination for the office Of
judge Of the district court. Judge
Waters, after service as police judge
and county judge, now aspires to
higher honors, and he is making an
open and manly fight for the nomina
ton. He refused to submit his can
d:dacy to the Bar Association, insist
ii.g that the people as whole, not the
lawyers, had a right to select their
judicial candidates. The people hav-
ing demanded and secured primary
law, Judge Waters felt that it was
just and proper to submit mis- candi-
dacy to the urinary, and this seems
to suit vast majority of the voters.
Judge Waters has acquitted himself
with credit in the two judicial posi-
lions he has held, and his record is one
that he relies OH to promote him to a
place on the district bench.

No man can accomplish great things

There are some folks who call them

There is a certain amount of truth in
these little Sunshine" opiates, but
what are the facts?,
In the first place, there are some
things which it would be criminal to
forget, because there is evil. Looking
happy and smiling is very fine anti

Uncle Sam Severe.

Here is a case where Uncle Sam is drawing
the lines too closely. A. P Okerstrom, a young
homesteader from the vicinity OF Ryder, drove
clear to Minot last week with his wife and little
baby, to make final proof on his claim. He was
going to make fourteen month proof. He
gave in his testimony at the land office, telling
about his 500 worth OF improvements, etc.,
but the department insisted that be lacked just
two days OF having lived on the claim long
enough.
The proof was therefore rejected AMI the man
will have to advertise over, and go to 4 lot OF
expense The local land office is not to lame:
Down at Washington men who sit around al
day, smoking twenty-five cent cigars think the
homesteaders Of North Dakota have snap and
are Tightening the screws to the laws. The man
Okerstrom testified that while he was short two
days, he was on his claim those two days, build
ing his house, but Of course did not oceupy it'll
until twas completed.

Read Up a Little.

Those farmers VINO attended the Grain
Growers Convention last Friday and Saturday
certainly enjoyed arare treat, land no doubt have
carried away many valuable ideas. 1t is we'll to
read up on the farming question, to talk with
your neighbors on the way he has attained the
greatest success in his work. or to attend gath
erings OF this kind and hear men OF national
fame expound the doctrine Of good farming
along the various lines.
But the farmers should be careful in making
experiments, not to experiment too heavily at
once. Try an acre or two OF grain the way
some other fellow has found very profitable. 1t
may produce better results than you antici-
pate it will, or it may not An acre or two is
enough for such an experiment.. Then again,
don't go home and get too busy, and get right
back into your old routine. You may be the
best fa1 mer in your township. but you haven't
reached perfection in your business by any
means. There's scarcely a farmer who finds it
convenient to do his work the best he knows
how. It's the same with farming as it is with
every other kind of business y.uve either got
to go ahead or backwards. There's no stand
ing still.

Crop Prospects,.

We have been getting showers occasionally,
enough to start the grain nicely and there's
every prospect for good crop this season, as
there has been for many during the past. All
The weather is nice and warm and the days ex-
tremely long. Did it ever occur to you that al
tho TIE season in North Dakota may be shorter
than that of the svuth, the number of hours OF
sunshine eclipses the number in the south, con-
sequently our crops generally catch up with those
farther south
