Bismarck, Jan. 10.-It Is said that
the speaker of the national house of
representatives is second only to the
president in the power he is able to
WELD on legislation and the affairs of
the nation. The presiding officer of
the lower branch of the state Iegis-
lature is not so powerful, but he cer-
tainly has more. to do with the making
of policies and the determination of
legislative action than any man on the
floor. 1t is impossible to determine
whether man will be good pre-
siding officer or not until he Is tried.
1t is a delicate position, requiring
quick and accurate judgment and an
ability to grasp the material ends of
a tangled situation and to unravel the
same while doing so. 1t is really
judicial temperament that is required
of a good presiding officer. He must
follow the ramifications of the battle
that is being waged on the floor and
know at all time "where ne is at. so
that he may not by an erroneous decis-
ion, injure the rights of the parties
to the contest. 1t requires force dis
elimination and an analytical mlnd

suit. whether for or against them,
without grumbling. They fought fair
and open battle. and when they were
Outvoted, they accepted the result with
out kicking.
The presiding Officer of the senate
is not SO very important because of
that position alone. He has no vote
except in case of a tie, and that sell
dom happens. Lieut. Governor Lewis is
a man who will rapidly grow into the
Office. 1t is possibly embarrassing for
a new man to attempt to preside over
the deliberations of what is practically
and old and experienced body, and it
would be expected that he would make
some errors at first. 1t will be re-
membered that President Roosevelt
presided over the senate of the United
States for one day while he was vice.
president of the United States. and
that in many instances he had to be
prompted by the senators who were
experienced. The same may be true
of others, but certain it is that Lewis
will soon be model presiding officer
and that he will lend dignity to the
body over which he presides. That
he will be fair, honest and careful is
an assured fact. The people made no
mistake when they elected him.

legislature today providing for COM

Feeding corn on the range has

AS a life saver among sheep, when

at the proper season, the feeding is
invaluable, and not only does it in
crease the profits of the flockmasters,
but it frequently saves them from
enormous losses, especially during

THE WOOL SUPPLY
AMERICA PURCHASES
HEAVILY ABROAD
Over 10000 Bales Bought In Aus
tralia for American Mills-This
Exceeds the Amount Purchased
Last Year by 10000 Bales-South
American Purchases are Very
Light

A Boston wool letter of the past
week discusses the world wool situa-
ton In the following entertaining
manner:
Now that the buying season is
practically over In Australasian and
South American markets. the ques-
ton is naturally agtated whether
our country has taken more or less
of the merino ard crossbred wools
in those markets than Is likely to be
needed.
We have touched upon this mat
ter before, indicating In n general
way the trend of the demand, and
what was likely to be accomplished
in the way of securing supplies for
this country; but in the. light OF
latest advices, the more the subject
is considered, the more apparent
does II become that previous claims
to the effect that there has been over
buying for American consumption
will have to be modified.
There are few very essential fac
tors 10 ne ktDl III III N'iiS'NN'
ing this question. One of these Is
that while 1t seems probable that
purchases for America in Australas-
ia will aggregate a total which will
somewhat exceed 100000 bales, pos
sibly reaching 10000 bales, the to-
tai purchases in South America. in
cluding Montevideo, according to the
hest information obtainable at pres
ent. will not exceed $4,000 bales.
Last year purchases in Australasia
were only about 10000 bales, but our
tak,ngs in South America were in
the neighborhood of $4,000 bales. In
other words, while we may have pur-
chased this year, say 10000 bales
more In Australasia than we did last
season, we have taken, say 10000
bales less this year in South Ameri-
ca thar we did last year, and as there
is approximately three times the
amount of wool ma South American
bale that there is in an Australian
bale. the shortage in our takings OF
the South American woods will more
than offset the increase in the
amount of our takings In the Other
section of the globe; and this short
age will be in woods of the crossbred
variety.
The demand is at present running
decidedly toward the merino.
