The recent inspection Of the state
militia has resulted in some stirring
up of dry bones, and Adjutant Cen
eral Poole advises the captain of the
Fargo company that its standard
must be improved or it will be must

will probably result in the improve

splendid material for a military COM,

than material. Indeed, some Of the
smaller towns of the state make q.

Possibly this is because there is not

ture for dairying in the state and will:
study European methods with the
view of giving the farmers of this
state the advantage of his researches.
There is no question of the wide diff
ference in natural conditions between
Europe and the United States. but it
is equally true that no people are
more prodigal Of their resources and
more wasteful in their cultivation
methods than many of the farmers in
the United States. That they can be
so and achieve wealth proves the
wonderful fertility Of the soil and the
great natural advantages. Neverthe-
less, this is no excuse for wastefulness
and all of this waste can and should
be saved, to the further prosperity
and happiness of the American agri-
culturalist.

1T is to be regretted that the rail-
roads have decided there shall be no
excursions to the agricultural college
sof the state during the coming sum-
mer This information is learned
Through President Worst of the col
1ege, who took UP the matter with the
officials Of the road at st. Paul and
was informed that the companies
would not grant the usual excursions,
in consideration Of the rate legisla-.
ton enacted by the legislature re-.
Gently. There are two sides to this
matter, OF course. One Of them is
that the railroads believe the rates
as fixed are low enough and that ex-
cursions of whatever nature are not
Justified. Another is that the rail
roads have never reaped any reward
directly from these excursions, they
having been granted purely to en-
courage object lessons in agriculture
and to benefit the roads through in
creased crops and better cultivation
and the rate laws have no effect pro
sor con. Under the latter view, It
would seem that the roads could
afford TO continue the excursions,
notwithstanding rate legislation to.
which they were opposed. At the
same time, there is no obligation up
on the railroads to continue them.
They were voluntary act, with the
view Of increasing the scope and view
of the farmers Of the state with re-
spect to matters to be seen and ex-
planned at the agricultural college.
The railroads have the undoubted
right to withdraw them at any time.
AT the same time, privileges long CON
tinued come to be looked on as rights
and a good many farmers will be dis
appointed at the withdrawal Of the
excursion plans

The peculiarities of rate legislation
become more and more apparent as
the state laws and federal legislation
are considered together. For exam
pie the following from the Crookston
Times:
New peculiarities in the applica-
tions of the passenger rate law crop
out almost daily. This morning one
of the ministers of the city called
attention to one that affected the min
listers particularly. He had just re-
ceived a communication from the
Trans-continental Clergy bureau adj
vising him that the clergy certificate
which he holds. and which gives the.
benefit Of half regular fare on all rail
roads of the country, would not be
honored in purchasing transportation
between any two points in the state
OF Minnesota or between any two
points in the state Of Nebraska, as
the legislatures Of those two states
nave enacted laws requiring maxi.
mum 2-cent fare and the roads in
both states had decided not to allow
a cut rate to any classes. This is not
news to our readers as the fact was
generally known that ministers would
have to pay the regular two cents a
mile within this state, but what is
OF interest is that the communica.
ton goes on to state that the clergy
certificate wouldd nevertheless, be
honored for half fare Transportation
from any point in either of the states
named to any point outside of their
boundaries, and vice versa. In other
words. If a Crookston minister wished
to go to East Grand Forks and
bought his ticket to that place, he
would pay two cents per mile for it;
1T, however. he purchased through
ticket from here to West Grand
Forks. he would pay only one and a
half cents per mile half. of the old
rate. Hence it would be wisdom on
his part to buy transportation farther
than he wished to go. Take the
Duluth trip, and considerable saw
ing would be made by buying to
Superior, and doubling back. Odd
circumstance, isn't it?

WHAT 4 A They SAY

A Parent: The graduating class
Invitations are out for the commence
ment exercises Of the high school
graduating class Of 1907. The invita-
ton does not inform us as to which
Of the many Bismarcks this refers,
whether In Missouri or elsewhere, but
from the familiarity of the names Of
the graduates we venture to guess
this refers to our own Bismarck Of
our beloved North Dakota, but this is
only a guess, the invitation being
silent on that particular point. Should
our guess be correct we think our
graduating class should not lie
ashamed to publish to the world that
they belong to the wild Rose state,
on the contrary, they should be only
too proud to herald that fact, in order
that future graduates in locking back
over these old souvenirs Of happy
school days may be able to indemnity
this one as belonging to the vigorous
young state Of North Dakota.
There Is another popularity we no
tice in this program. the printer takes.

have no doubt that he pays a liberal
price for this advertisement but we
question the propriety of advertising
his business on what should be a
work of art. We also observe that
the type used in his copper plate aen-s
craving has left an impression like.
that Of a nutmeg crater. something we.
have never observed before in copper
plate engraving.
We are Of the opinion that these
souvenirs would be much improved IL
the names Of the graduates were cor
rectly spelled. This little matter may
be Of no. consequence to the Phila-
delphia aengrayer," but to us who
will treasure these Invitations in
future years, this little defect VIII be
constant source of regret. Perhaps
our young friends who ordered these
invitations. were not aware that the
finest engrayers and most artistic
designers are found in the west. We
venture the assertion that others
nearer home could have given q much
more satisfactory program and one
that would do credit to the engravers:
