WHILE there has been a great rush of
people to Alberta and Saskatchewan,
for farming lands and we have had many
reports of the %'sunniness' and 'souther-
ness" of that excellent region, we note
that the Dominion government is to loan
foul million dollars to buy seed for those
of the settlers whose crops have been a
failure. Such necessities are to be re-
GREETED, for the reason that it s.means
that a considerable number sof settlers
are undergoing hardships. Nor does',..it
argue that the country is Esnot suitable
for agriculture because there has been
one failure of crops. But it should not
be forgotten, in passing that North Da-
kota has some splendid opportunities to
offer for settler and that in Eseeking
homes, the fertile acres of this state
should not be passed by. -

The lumber kings have reduced the
price of lumber from 81 to So per thou
sand feet. The price has been so high
lately that building operations have
seriously curtailed and one reliable trade
paper declares that the consumption of
lumber during the past year has been
only half what it was the preceding year.
The more. substantial buildings now use
very little lumber; timber bridges are
bening replaced by steel or cement;
plank sidewalks are scarcely any cheaper
than cement walks last indefinitely.
Even residences are being constructed
of cement in many places, and every
thing considered, 1T is not surprising
that the demand for lumber should fall
off. The lumber barons have finally
taken notice and made a reduction in
prices with a view to stimulating de-
mand for the output of their mills.

He was essentially a lonely man.
Romantic by temperament, susceptible
to feminine charms and exactly consti-
tuted for the happiness of love and do
nestle life, he was doomed. to austere
celibacy. Filled with curiosity for dis
tant places and having as contempora-
ries Irving, who spent over twenty
years Of his life in Europe; Cooper, who,
besides his voyages, lived abroad seven
successive years; Bryant, who made
six excursions to the old world; Long
fellow, who knew Europe perhaps bet
ter than his native land, Whittier's
travels were bounded on the north by
the limits of New England, on the east
by the neighboring shore, on the south
by Washington and Oh the west by
Harrisburg. Brought up a Quaker, he
was cut off from the cheerful human
activities of New England churches, the
most prominent feature of village So
cial life. The curse of constant head
aches and chronic insomnia made him
almost a prisoner, or, as Barrett Wen
dell phrases it, he was generally trou-
bled by that sort of robust poor health
which frequently accompanies total alb
%stinence.' But with all these discour-
agements, privations and enforced re-
nu%nciations, he seems to have preserv-
ed the temperament of a beautiful
child. - Professor w. L. Phelps in

WHEN asked whether::he would be a

said last week to a number of his party
friends at MINNEAPOLIS:
81 have not made any declaration on
that subject. II the people will let me
go back to my law practice I will be
very glad to do So"
1t is not at all likely that his: friends
will consent to anything but his accept
ing the nomination for a second term
and making a fight for the office of
governor this fall. There is no reason
that we can see, why Gov. Burke should
not be re elected to the Office OF COVER
nor. His executive ability is equal with
any selection that could be made and
even his enemies can not criticise him
in what be has done during his term Of
Office, and he should have the support
of every good living citizen in the state
when it comes to electing = governor

Having Fun with Animals.

Recently a New York man took his
thoroughbred out for a Sunday spin
and remarked that the horse had stood
in the stable idle for five days, but he
would soon take the "dander'' out of
him. The animal had his own notions
about it and after going a few blocks
began to "cut up" and broke his driy-
er's neck by smashing into a tree.
While this vas going on the doctors
were trying to save the life of a boy
who started to have fun with a dog by
teasing him and a put in the hos
pital by doggy's own notions of fun.
These cases are typical OF what takes
place every day all over the land.

Waste Not, Want Not!

Our waste of natural is
again held up as a warning, this time
by a government expert, Professor
Holmes of the geological survey. I'm
like Mr.. j.. j. Hill, the professor does
not lay it to greed and gluttony, but
to carelessness and thoughtlessness,
pure and simple. Mr.. Hill says that
we keep up a continual run on natures
that we waste more than we use of
natures bounty.
Certain optimists declare that ma
lures resources are limitless. Alcohol
and perhaps electricity will take the
place of coal, as coal replaces wood
Concrete and stone will serve in build
ing when iron and timber grow scarce.
This is the argument Of the child who
believes in the good genii. Professor
Holmes would have us use what ma
ture supplies with care, as though the
end were in sight. He finds an, .ap7
palling waste Of coal In the operation
of mining. Water power of limitless
volume is let go to waste, and more
timber is burned up by needless and
p%reventable fires than is used for fuel
and manufactures. The end of the
century will see the. finish Of our fuel
supply, according to this expert. eau
ton can be overdone-can cost too
much. But we take big chances op
famine when we hog the whole kernels
and cast away the fragments.

BRYAN'S POSITION OUTLINED.

Several newspapers recently printed a
friend in the east that he would decline
the democratic nomination for the
presidency should it develop that a
certain portion of the delegates to the
Denver convention we're opposedto him.
Bryan made no such statement. His
position was clearly described in a state
,nent printed in The Commoner of No
vember 18th. That position is we'll told
by this extract from the November 18th
statement:
"Mr. Bryan will not ask for or seek a
nomination; and he will not assume to
decide the question of his availability
He has been so amply recompensed by
his party for what he has done and for
what he has endeavored to do that he
cannot claim a nomination as a reward;
neither should his ambition be con
sidered, for he has had honors enough
from his party to satisfy any reasonable
ambition. The only question that ought
to weigh with the party is whether the
party can be strengthened and aided
more by his nomination than by the
nomination of someone else. If he can
serve the party by being its candidate,
he will accept the commission, and make
the best fight he can. If, however, the
choice falls upon another, he will not be
disappointed or disgruntled. His avail
ability is a question to be decided not by
him, not by a few leaders, not even by
the leading newspapers that call them
selves democratic, but by the voters of
the party, and to them he intrusts the
decision of the question-they are the
supreme court in all matters concerning
candidates, as they are IN all matters
concerning the PLATFORM"
1t may be added that Bryan does not
regard the plutocratic newspapers that
have habitually misrepresented him as
being qualified to speak even for a
minority of democrats. Thuse news
papers speak for the system" The
rank and file of the democratic party
will shape the party's course at Denver.
1t is not to be expected that the pro.
gram adopted in the interests of the
general public will meet with the APP
prevail of those from whose impositions
the public is even now seeking relief.

AMONG the universities today doing
an important work for educational
unity, the State University of North
Dakota holds first rank. Here. instead
of making a war of competition against
the UNCONVENTIONAL colleges of the
various churches of the state, these
colleges are invited to locate neal the
university and cooperate earnestly with
it, using its costly equipment, thus
largely releasing their own funds for
distinctly religious work. For example,
Wesley college has found the experiment
satisfactory 10 all concerned.

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that the
republican state central committee has
unanimously indorsed Taft for the presi-
dental nomination, the fact remains
that utside of federal office holders and
our congressional delegation, which fear
to incur the displeasure of Roosevelt,
there is no Taft sentiment in this state.
The insurgents are for LaFollete, of
Wisconsin, while the stalwarts would
doubtless favor Hughes, of New York.
Sould Roosevelt succeed in forcing the
nomination of Taft on the people, he
will be repudiated at the polls in No
vember. Mark this in your hat.

Government and Waterways.

Government and Waterways.
A variety of causes. national aud
commercial, have united to fasten pub.
lie attention upon the need of some
broad and systematic development of
the inland waterways of the country
for transportation. Government own
ership of railroads seems to be a long
way off in the future, but the govern
ment ownership and control of water
ways is a present and permanent fact.
Perhaps if private initiative had had
full sway in the past upon all our riv-
ers and canals the same as on the rail-
roads the present relation of the two
means of communication would have
been reversed. If the audacity, initia-
tive and organizing genius that have
been devoted to railroads had been
turned upon the development of in
land water transportation the wealth
Of the country might have been greater
than it is and it's distribution more
even.
Much of the heavy freight traffic of
Germany is handled by canals and
"canalized rivers" A considerable vol
ume of this class of business in this
country 2might be SO carried, and the
present congestion Oh the railroads is
an argument that it should be so car
ried. Before the coming of the rail-
roads the air was filled with the cry
for canals, and the promotion of in
ternal improvements, which included
water transportation, was a fixed arti-
Gle in the creed of intelligent public
men. When the railroads got to work
the demand for waterways was side
tracked. The roads got there first, and
speed was then the question of the
hour.
Some minds have foreseen the pres
emit situation. The late Senator Nor
gan predicted a ship canal from Chi
cago to the Mississippi and a deep
channel down that river to the gulf.
He dreamed of a ship canal across
Florida to shorten the trip between
Atlantic and gulf ports and also a Sc
ries of canals to connect lakes and
bays lying along the Atlantic coast
and provide an inland water route
from North Carolina to Maine. The
spirit of public enterprise will no doubt
be able to make this dream a realiza-
ton without waiting for private initia-
tive and capital to blaze the way. They
are matters for public action. The
public controls the watersheds, which
are the life of the rivers and the ca
nails. Our inland waterways, both the
natural and the artificial, can be made
to play a most important part in the
future prosperity Of the land. We
have tried the railroads under private
management, and we know about what
to expect of our waterways. Their
thorough development as public insti-
buttons can but prove beneficial. Per-
haps the turbine engine OF something
better will give an approach to rail
road speed for passenger boats, but
the main utility of deep waterways
will be to handle ore, grain, coal and
bulky and heavy manufactures.
If the country continues to enjoy the
remarkable prosperity that has blessed
it for a decade it is extremely proba-
BILE that the people will not only ac-
quiesce in large expenditures of public
money on internal improvements, but
will put such pressure upon congress
that it cannot resist making such APP
preparations.
