Onlv Animal That Kisses.

Why salute Of the lips, ordinarily
known as a kiss, should be given such
prominence in the literature and dra-
ma of the world. both biblical ani
historical cannot be solved by recourse
to any written authority; yet during
all these years since the beginning
of time this peculiar salutation does
not appear to have lost in value, nor
is there any immediate prospect of it's
so doing. What the playwright, the
novelist. and the poet would do with
out this peg upon which to hang a
plot Il w0lld be difficult to say. and
this applies especially to the play

against his opposers but also with his
friends. Here is his greatest failing.
Lincoln had happy faculty of telling
some amusing story that even kept his
enemies good-natured. Roosevelt finds
it hard to have his friends differ with
him. 1t is an open secret that most
senators and many representatives do
not like Roosevelt personally. Roose-
velt'.s doctrine seems to be che who is
not with me is against me-" which is not
always true in political matters.
Roosevelt is the idol of the common
people with whom he does not come in
direct contact, because he is honest, able
and strenuous. Before his election
many thought he was likely to erratic as
we'll as strenuous, but the weight of re-
sponsibility of the presidential Office has
made him far more conservative than
these feared, and perhaps the most re-
markable thing in his administration is
the fact that Notwithstanding the many
matters into which he has plunged, that
SO few mistakes have been made ls
him.

ROOSEVELT AS DICTATOR

Considerable criticism is heard from
some papers who refer to Roosevelt as a
:'dictator." The same criticism was
heard in the days of Andrew Jackson
and Abraham Lincoln.
No doubt in the Office of president
there is power, and to some extent arbi-
tary power, if the incumbent chooses to
WELD it. But the constitution and the
law limits these powers. Any president
that would attempt to go beyond these
limits would soon aind himself in trou-
BILE.
People mistake the personality of the
president for something else. The ex-
amples named, were and are men of
strong individual personalities, men
who would tower among others where
ever placed. Because they are greater
than others, then Macy infer that such
prominence is Legitimate. In fact, to
many, mere prominence in any position
in life is sign certain of dishonesty or
misuse, and the jealous ones ask Son
what meats does this great Caesar
feed?
President Roosevelt is best described
by his own adjective i'strenuous.'' He
is always doing something. Josh Bill
ings once said "If man wants quiet
life he should walk through the back
streets" President Roosevelt is always
in the public view. That is the great
reason that the common people like him.
They like man that does things-an
thinks of things to do That is also
reason why many of the politicians don't
like him. They prefer that the waters
be not disturbed SO continually. Their
own barks sail more safely and smoothly
when the sea is not troubled. They
don't have to take sides so often and so
prominently.
All that Roosevelt does is not for the
best-but the people believe that he
means it for the best. All that he at
tempts does not fully succeed, but most
that he does is a success. In righting
wrongs it is easy to wrong the right
and this is particularly true in deciding
between the rights and wrongs of capi-
tai and labor, or of the great corporate
interests and the people.
Most of the questions settled by Lin
coin we're forced upon him, but Reose-
velt, if he chose, could avoid many troub-
lesome issues. But, instead, he has in
stated many reforms, and the way of
the reformer is always rough. But
Roosevelt is rough rider. not only

The splendid rain of Sunday and Mon
day which Was general over the valley
was worth at least million of dollars.
1t has one drawback however, that there
is still considerable late crop not yet
seeded Which will be delayed for few
days-and it is time that it was all in
now. However it is the experience of
the writer that late sown crops, if they
have plenty of moisture and sunshine,
grow with wonderful rapidity. One
year we had field of barley that never
came out of the ground until judy 18th
was in head August 2Oth-but was lost
then on account of frost about thatdate.
With favorable fall barley will ripen
even if sown as late as July 1st, though
of course it is exposed to the risk of bad
weather and early frost.

THIRTY.FIVE YEARS MILLING

The Walhalla Mountaineer takes ex-
ception to our statement referring to
the failure of creameries and flour mills
in which we said "But so far as we know
the previous owners have not stayed
with them. They are all now in new
hands," This was intended as general
statement. 1t did not necessary infer
that such changes were necessarily on
account of losses. But the statement
was made as indicative of practical re-
suits in general way. The Mountaineer
gives as an exception the case of our
friend Mr.. j. f. Mager, and we are very
glad to know that his case is an exceI-
ton to what is notoriously Il general
rule. The Mountaineer says:-
"The -four mill at Walhalla, the first
in North Dakota, was started on it's
work in 1872 by John f. Mager and Geo.
Emmerling. Later MIR. Emmerling
died, but the business was continued
by MIR. Mager and continued until 1906
|-thirty-four years-under his personal
supervision and, for great part, his
personal manual laDOr. In CnlS time
the mill was twice destroyed by fire, but
was Immediately rebuilt by MIR. Mayer,
and each time it grew large, better, and
more modern machinery put in and with
a greater capacity.
In 1906 Mr.. Mager formed stock
company for the sake of securing inter-
ested and better assistance in the work,
but he is still the principal stockholder,
is president of the company and gives
his personal attention to great many
of the details-in fact his whole time is
almost entirely devoted to the business.
AT no time was Mr.. Mager threatened
by Il failure of patronage-on the con-
trary, the business became too large for
one man to care for properly by looking
after all the details, and since the form
'ation of the company a year ago, there
has been an immense impulse given the
demand for the product, so much so
that they are many weeks behind in
Eflling orders.
Returning to the original subject, we
can conceive that with this one excep-
tion the Express is right in it's state
ment, and we will go still further and
include all other lines of business-ex-
cept farming-and say we believe Mr..
Mager is the only man in North Dakota
| who has been continuously in one line
of business in one location for this length
of time-thirty-ftye years."

PROHIBITION ENFORCEMENT.

From a temperance standpoint the
putting out of the temperance commits
sioner should not be a loss, and his ap-
pointment should not have been a gain.
If the laws were enforced by the proper
local authorities there would be no
need of such state officer. But it. is. a
fact that whole communities are some
times law breakers. This is particularly
true of the prohibition laws. We have
communities in this state, where people
who are otherwise good citizens, in pr-
vate practice and sentiment and in pub
lie duty, absolutely refuse to obey the
prohibition,la 1t is for such commune
ties that the temperance commissioner
office was created.
But the law creating it has; been de-
clared unconstitutional. We think this
the more remarkable, because in the
state of Maine, similar laws have been in
effect at differant times for many years
and there is such law now in existance
and for the same reasons.
In Maine in the working Of the law it
has been found that it has one bad effect
the local officers shun their duties in
this direction and leave it to the state
officers to do. We think that it would
have had the Same effect here in many
communities.
Some papers are stating that the local
officers can be made to do their duty.
But in this line of work the results of
forced duty wouldesnot be very valuable
And then what efforts can be expected
of an officerwho goes ahead onceor twice
and does his duty, gets the evidence
arrests the qigger, and then has a jury
of intelligent and honest citizens turn
him down cold, with a verdict of not
guilty, or disagreement.
After all, it is not officers, but public
sentiment that settles the question.
Law and officers undoubtedly help, but
they really help more by way of educat-
ing.pnblic sentiment than any other
way. The fact that in the valley coun.
ties prohibition is as we'll, if not better,
enforced than any other law, is having
more effect on prohibition than anything
else does or can.
This influence is rapidly moving west
ward, and the Bismarck and the Man
dan and other westeran city "lids" are
really results of the success of prohibi-
tion in the eastern part of the state.
There's one lesson that the general
public find it hard to learn, but when
learned, it will do away with the liquor
business there's no money in it. None
for the drinker, none for the dealer, none
for the community. 1t is the greatest !
paradox of the world. The dealer ought
to make money, but he don't. Just re-
member all that you ever knew and see
if he does. The towns make nothing
out of it. Contrast the conditions of
the treasures of the license and prohibi-
tion towns and prove it. Leave out the
morality, the poor, the crime and then
the figures will show big balance on |
the prohibition side. !
