"rHEY 1.-THE illegal salo0ns) cannot
fail to impress the young people will
wonder at the permitted violation Of
law, and finally, with lack Of respect
for this and all laws" = Bismarck
Tribune.
Speaking Of respect for law what
are the object lessons now being set
before the people Of the Capital City?
With three drug stores In operation,
and another coming, in city where
two would be enough II neither sold
whisky illegally, what great steps
have been made in providing proper
object lesson for the young people OF
the Tribune'S town? Some folks be-
lieve that the power Of personal ex-
ample counts for great deal In affect.
ing the minds Of the young. Is it not
fact that, when licensed, saloons
were allowed by law, . jug or john
could not be found In half the pro-
fessional Offices Of the Capital City?
Is IT SO now? Does 1t impress the
young with the sanctity OF the laws
when they see-or hear-oi men shout
Ing themselves hoarse for the pTohi-
billion law-which was intended to
prevent the consumption Of whisky
and beer as beverage-w when it is
known that these same men violate
the letter as we'll as the spirit Of the
law In keeping whisky by them at all
times, giving 1t to their friends and
never refusing q drink: The editor OF
the Record has the most profound re-
spect for the man or woman who
honestly believes Ia the efficacy of pro.
hibition in the direction Of killing the
evil Of strong drink. But ali should
have profound contempt for men
who use that issue simply as mean,
Tor making themselves solid with their
former political enemies. A better way
for Messrs. Jewell, Miller and Asa Pat
terson to reform the universe would
he to reform their own habits, to the
end that real prohibitionists could di-
rect their children's gaze to them as
worthy examples Of the powerful good
Of teet0talism.

The Grand Forks Times at length
has an issue. 1t is now greatly
troubled for fear that the initiative
and referendum may he adopted and
eventually overthrow prohibition.
Some VI those Interested in the Times
may find that, while they are seeking
To make political capital in one Sec
tion Of the state, they may lose good
share OF what they have in another
section. The initiative and referen-
dunn IN much broader proposition
even than escape from the outrageous
appetite statues that now crowd one
another upon our statute-b0oks. And
1t Is tribute to the principle that at
the recent session Of the general as
semblv resubmissionists were found
who could rise above the minor ques-
ttOn and vote for the initiative and
referendum with the constitutional
provision stricken out, and prohibi-
tiOntsts who could vote for the meas
ure with the constitutional provision
reinserted. The Times will not make
much political capital out Of its op-
position to an amendment which al.
lows the people themselves to do a lit
tie legislating ct first hand.

From the Primghar (O'Brien coun-
ty, Iowa) Bell Of March 21st we take
the following excerpt from column
account Of the death Of the father Of
Mrs. w. T. Brooks. Of the Linton
neighborhood:
The death Of Attorney ]. T. stearns
last Thursday night. though not unex-
pected. cast gloom OF sadness over
the entire community. He had been
sick with Bright's disease for several
months, and 1t was known to his
friends that 1t was but q matter Of
time until death would come. but they
had hoped that 1t might be postponed
for many months yet.
MIR. Stearns was one Of the coun-
TVS earliest settlers. He had large
property interests in Primghar in the
early days OF the towns history, be-
ing one Of the members Of the firm
Of Brock & Stearns. who laid out the
large addition to the original town Of
Primghar which bears their name.
Bro. Stearns was Mason Of high
standing and took particular delight
in the associations Of that fraternity.
His brothers very frequently elevated
him to places Of honor and he filled
each station with marked credit to
himself and the lodge. Masonry was
to him hobby and one Of his great
est deligAts.
Funeral services were held at the
Congregational church Saturday after
noon and were largely attended. The
floral offerings were numerous and
beautiful. among them being set pieces
sent by the various Masonic bodies 20
which Mr.. Stearns belonged and the
bar Of the county.
THE remains were taken to Hamp-
ton, Iowa. for interment. funeral SER
vices being held there on Sunday
afternoon.
NO words Of ours could prove Z
fitting tribute to Bro. Stearns. His
own life and the deeds done by him
will live In the memories Of his
friends as a monument to his life. ever
keeping his memory green. though the
column on his grave should fall and
crumble"

In order that accidents from the
drinking of wood alcohol, formalde-
hyde, sulphuric acid, sheep dip and
other mild prohibition beverages may
be lessened, we would suggest that
the next legislature pass q law to
the effect that all whisky brought into
the state be colored red-the same as

THE price Of print paper has taken
another upward turn, and goodness
knows where It's going TO stop. All
OF which leads the Record to make a
few remarks. Space In a Newspaper Is
the publishers stock In trade. 1t Is
the same to him as the merchants
stock Is to the merchant. Where a
free entertainment OF any kind is Civ
en-, local notices VI the same will be
published free. But, hereafter, for
all entertainments Of any kind where
charge is made, five cents per line
will be the price for all local ads ap-
pearing In the Record, and display adj
vertising for such entertainments will
be charged for at legal rates. The av-
erxge country publisher is usually
willing to do his share whenever q
public enterprise Is contemplated; but
he should not be expected to give
away his goods (his space) any more
than any other business man is ex-
pected To give away his goods.

buy but 160 acres would cause him TO
be in debt for forty years, at the
present price OF interest and farm
products.
Then, again, the landlords are
steadily raising the rent of farm land.
until now the farmers are almost pay
ing for the farm land in annual rents.
with these complaints, more than
200 farmers will this spring leave this
part OF Iowa for the rich fields OF
North Dakota. where they have al
ready or will soon buy land. At the
present price Of land in the Wild Rose
state, every farmer can own his own
farm and begin the raising OF stock
and the cultivation OF grains at once.
without the imposing presence 1t
landlord lowering in fancy before his
mind.
North Dakota will profit liz more
ways than one by the addition OF
these farmers from Iowa. They are
farmers In every sense Of the word,
and, besides. they have the best fam
lilies in the world-well-educated girls
and growing young men, who will aid
in the future upbuilding OF NORTH Ia
kota. They have been we'll trained
In Iowa, and when they leave Their
native state they will do so with the
regrets Of all; and 1t is hoped by THAR
friends here that every one OF thcra
will make a place for himself in the
new country where he will be OF use
to all, and in the meantime better his
own position in life.
Many people in Iowa were opposed
to the settling of the western part Of
North Dakota; but, after they heard
Of the good crops raised last year
there, they changed their minds. Like
the settling of the older western
states, there is concerted move in
Iowa toward the northwest-all intent
on reaching the land of cheaper and
better homes, away from the ever.
present extended hand of the landlord.
Iowa people at large are considered to
be among the best in the world, and
everyone in the vicinity where these
people have lived are sure that there
will be no drawback in North Dakota
that will cause their failure.
The state will also profit much
from the invasion of these farmers by
the new blooded stock which will be
brought along and by the newer meth
dds Of farming.
1T must not be considered that. be
cause most Of these persons have been
renters in Iowa, they will be cast on
the state OF North Dakota as paupers
Not 80. Many of them have large
bank accounts. and will build up-to
date homes in the new land; rear
groves and import all the new meth
DDS they have practiced in Iowa into
the new land.
There is always unrest in farming
districts at this time of the year; but
rarely has such a large body Of farm
ers decided to leave certain locality
as there is leaving this spring from
the three counties mentioned above
