that it was erected twenty-five years be-

Conditions have greatly changed since the

The Grand Forks Press comedies the
nomination of Senator Hansbrough by
the Republicans. 1t also comedies the
election of the Democratic nominee and
in it's issue of Tuesday evening launched
the candidacy of Frank Wilson, of
Bathgate. So soon as Wednesday morn
ing the candidate came to Sheldon in
company with Major Buttz and had a
conference with local federal official.
Major Buttz is not only closely identified
with the GANG, (the Press never prints
the word in letters less than two feet
high,) but is regarded as warm friend
of Senator Hansbrough. On this ac-
count there is grave suspicion of a
DEAL. Until the Press can satisfactor-
lily explain it's candidates liaison with
Major Buttz and Republican postmasters
he will bear close watching by all good
Democrats-Sheldon Progress.

"TOMORROW?"

How little we live IN the present, how
much irthe future? Tomorrow is goal,
to-day is but a stepping-stone. The
fond mother as she clasps the babe to
her breast, thinks more of the future
man than of the smiling infant. The
boy as he grows, thinks of to-day as only
a holiday, for tomorrow he will be a
man among men. But when he goes
among men as man, the future is still
just before him. He works and plans
today that he may pluck the fruit to-
morrow. To-day it is always but the
foundation we build, tomorrow we be-
gin to erect the house.
But the future is always just ahead
on the road, just around the turn, always
veiled by the night that must come be-
fore the day,-that day that meyer comes,
but is always coming.
So much of life is wasted in the mad
chase of the future. Particularly is this
true of Americans. Men get blind in
striving to pierce the veil and cannot
see the present. Almost every business
man thinks he sees success for to-mor-
row or next day,-when perhaps he has
all the success possible, at hand.
1--WE pass this way but once'' but we
are passing it today. 1t is a pleasant
way, let us look at it and enjoy it as we
pass-to-day. And we shall not be less
ready for to.morrow-when it comes.

Democrat. There are hundreds of 9th

Democrat. There are hundreds of 9TH
er good men in the Democratic party.
But there are also hundreds of men
equally good in the Republican party,
with the added qualification that they
are also Republicans Why not settle
matters by selecting good Republicans?
1t is true that in state matters, politi-
cal questions cut but little figure, but
in national issues, which is another term
for principles, they cut a big figure.
How long can North Dakota, or any 9TH
er state, expect to remain Republican,
and expect to elect Republican congress-
men, if we keep on electing Democrat
ic governor every two years?
1t will not be long before any Republi-
can who votes part of the Democratic
ticket at one or two elections, will go the
whole thing.
We write these rather unpleasant facts
because we want to do our humble part
in setting the state press, who will have
so much to do with forming public senti-
ment in the coming fight to thinking
now. What can we do to unite the par
ty in this state? Not whether we can
get this or that candidate nominated
but whether we can unite so as to make
the election of any and all candidates
possible. For, as we said two weeks ago
in former editorial on this subject, it is
quite possible for the State of North Da-
kota to go Democratic in toto at next
general election.
This paper hasbeen and is Republi-
can. We have our own personal choice
of candidates and friends. We are will
ling to abide by the decision of the peo-
pie in the primaries, but confess we
don't think it a fair proposition to be
pitted against a lot of people who will
not also agree to abide by the results of
the primaries in which they will partici-
pate.
The only thing that can unite the par
ty is the mutual agreement by all fac
tions and individuals that they will vote
on election day for the nominees of the
party as made at the primary election.
That the factional fight shall end at the
primary. But if the rule or ruin spirit
is still to be the method, then we all
might as we'll 60 to the Democratic prl-
maries and help select the best Demo
crat in the first place. Are we Republi-
cans, Democrats, or just d fools?

was very nearly Is miles an hour for the
whole voyage, and part of the time she
went 26 "knots' or nearly 20 miles per
hour. Perhaps the greatest wonder in
this remarkable voyage was, that her
managers figured weeks before the trip
that she should start from the other side
in time so that she should arrive at New
York at 500 o'clock on Friday morn
ing,-and she arrived at sos o'clock.
When detained as she was by fogs, they
had sufficient reserve force to make
up the lost time, and keep to the sched-
ule,-which seems to be more than the
N. P. can do, which is supposed to run
about the same rate.

While the North Dakota farmer re-
joices in the high prices of his product
this year does he also have any sympa-
thy with the poor people who have to
buy his produces? While short crop
and good prices evens things to the far

what the laboring men of the east want,
and it would mean no less to to the far
mer. 1t is the consumer who suffers
from the short crop in the end.

REPUBLICANS, DEMO.
Gratis OR. FOOLS7

Without stopping to discuss the rights
or.Srongs of the past in the history Of
the Republican party In North Dako-
ia, we want to call attention again to
our present political status. Four years
ago at Grand Forks, through bad judg.
ment, surprise was sprung on the peo-
pie. The question of the turning down
of Mr.. Spalding is not worth discussing
at this time SO far as he is concerned.
But because it was a surprise, and most
ly for that reason alone, there was con-
siderable adverse feeling.
Several of the malcontents who had
been hand in glove with the powers that
run things, but who had been let preyi-
ously down and out, thought they saw
in this an opportunity to again get into
the public crib. They proceeded to or
ganize the ''insurgent" faction. The
actual result of this attempt to sieze
power by these new bosses was the cleo
tion of Democratic governor and Judge
with the Republican party still divid-
ed.
Next fall comes another election. The
Republicans who voted for John Burke
will vote in the Republican primaries.
If they are defeated in the primaries,
they will probably again vote for John
Burke. and this time will likely go the
whole Democratic ticket, for that is po-
itical human nature. And if the other
side is defeated dt the primaries the in
clination will be to give the insurgents a
dose of their own medicine, and vote for,
John Burke. So that the Democrats
will get us bo h coming and going, and
laugh at us for fools.
Two years ago the insurgents either
shrewdly or by Just bungle, forced the
nomination ofSarles; otherwise he would
have been replaced by another candi-
date. Sarles was not the choice of the
leaders Of the party, and those insur-
gents who thought in voting for Burke
they we're voting against "the bosses
did not succeed. They voted against
sarles, all right but we're mistaken in the
other matter. The rank and file Of the
insurgent party we're honest and earnest
in their convictions and voted Demo
cratic because they wanted TO- rebuke
the leaders, but only helped their new
bosses TO ruin what they had failed in
ruling. 4

STEAM vs. SAILS.

In commenting on the performance of
the great Cunardliner t'Lusitania" which
made her maiden voyage recently from
Queenstown to New York in five days and
ffty-four minutes, some local state edit
ors copy an erroneous statement to the
effect, that fifty years ago the immigrant
was about flour months or "fifteen
weeks" in making the voyage in the old
fashioned sailing vessels. While there
have been cases known of voyages of
such extreme length by sailing vessels
across the Atlantic, yet such long trips
were very exceptional, and in most cases
any ship that was Zone hundred days
out" was generally supposed to be lost.
Not only this, but the old "packet ships"
were seldom provisioned and watered
for SO long a cruise, and such prolonged
voyages invariably caused much suffer
ing from "short allowances" The fast
est sailing trip ever maze was done by
the famous "Dreadnought" from ''land
to land" in twelve days and half, and
from ''dock to dock" in Liverpool in
thirteen days and eleven hours. The
"Dreadnought" ran away from the
southern privateer "Alabama'' when
chased by the latter during the civil
warand the "Alabama" was supposed
to be fast even for steamers in those
days.
J; The average sailing trip across the
Atlantic is about thirty days, often be-
ing made in twenty, and forty Or fifty
days is long passage. About twenty
knots an hour was and is the extreme
possible speed Of the clipper ship, which
speed until recently was made BY
very few steam vessels. sailing vessel

ten to fifteen miles an hour, ordinarily.

Square dealing and wide publicity
are the two main cornerstones upon
which we are building up a Horse
Market unequalled by any other mar
ket west of the Mississippi. A Chicago
dealer at recent sale in Illinois re-
marked to group of horsemen gath
cred about him that "the fairest place
in the world for representing horses
just as they are, was Cttumwa"; that
he had always considered the Kansas
City market extra fair In that respect,
but the. Cttun1wa market beat them all.
He may have put 1t little strong, but
as the people talk the impression goes

reputation grows.
