Democrat in Office means the build
ing up Of Democratic machine in
the state which will be used just as
the present one in this state is being
used. to overthrow the Republican
party. That is why it is important
that no democrats be elected. The
party in this state will be untrue to
itself, untrue to Taft and untrue to
the people If other than Republican
is elected to Office.
How shall this result be accom-
plished? Not by Indifference on the
part of individual Republicans to the
success of the ticket, but by q con-
centrated effort on the part of every
one to aid in the great work. 1t
would be we'll for every man who is
allied wholly with the Republican
party to enter into an agreement with
himself to support the entire ticket
ana tnlS. accomplished, 1t would be
we'll for him to use his influence with
some one who is hesitating between
the support Of the two parties. The
psychological time for this is at hand
The puncturing of the halo with
which the Democratic campaign has
been surrounded has set hundreds of
men to thinking. They cannot be in
fluenced by sophistry nor coerced by
abuse. But they are looking for in
formation. This is the work which
the Republicans should see is done.
Hundreds of votes can be secured for
the party from this class of voters
II the proper intelligent argument is
used.

TAFr's VISIT.

Today is a memorable one in the
political history OF this state! The
battle between the dominant political
parties may now be considered as on
and from this time until the polls
close on election day. the victorious
and advancing ranks of the Republic
cans will carry the banner flung aloft
today by its intrepid and fearless ma
tional leader into every nook and cor
ner of the commonwealth. If the
sentiment of today is an index of the
sentiment which will mark the close
OF the contest, North Dakota will
again roll up her old time magnifi-
cent majority for the national ticket
and place the banner OF official trust
again in the hands of her trusted SER
wants.
1t is unnecessary to discuss now
what the political result in the state
would have been had Taft not .nclud-
ed it in his intinerary. 1t is certain
that it is safely Republican now If
every Republican does his duty be-
tween this time and election day and
especially if he does his duty on that
day by voting straight Republican
ticket from top to bottom. The peo-
pie Of this state have listened to the
claims of men who were posing as
specimens Of political purity. and
have been told that these are found
only in the ranks OF Democracy. Now
the putrid corpse of Mr.. Bryan's be-
som friend is placed on exhibition and
Democrats are holding their noses un-
til the stencil blows away.
But what of Taft and his party?
Long before the nomination by his
party was safely his, he stated that
If he must secure the presidency by
compromising principle he did not
want it. He refused to make terms
with Foraker because Of the latter's
personal political record. The voters
of this state have listened to him.
They know where he stands on every
public question and they know also
that the questions which he discusses
are the real questions in our national
life. They are not vote catchers nor
campaign fads nor the visions of an
unsophisticated statesman.
If the Republican party is right in
its doctrine Of governmental princi-
pies the prosperity of the nation and
the happiness of the people depend
upon its perpetuation. This perpetu-
alton can not be possible with a d.
vided party Experience has proven
that alleged reformers in office are
no more valuable to their constituency
than the man who makes no such
loud professions. The point is that
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1908-09-28

is such a rare idea, and yet so forci-
bly, true, that it strikes the mind as
something practical in this day of self
laudation over official acts. A public
official is public servant. He is ex-
pected to do the work placed upon
him by the constitution and laws of
the state. If he does his duty he is
entitled to no credit for it. The peo-
pie themselves may take credit for the
work because they were wise in their
choice.
This statment is characteristic Of
Mr.. Johnson. He Is no. novice in the
public service. He has ably served
his county in the legislature, and
much Of the legislation which has
been so profitable to the development
of the western portion of the state
is the result of his efforts and his in
itiative. He is unassuming in his pub
lie life and has given no care to the
question of whether or not he would
receive credit for /, his work. A re-
mark in point was made by him dur
ing the last session of the legislature
when he had secured the passage of
constitutional amendment destined
to give Minot q normal school. When
some of the newspaper men who were
covering the legislature suggested
that the story of the passage be tele-
graphed to his home city, he replied:
They will find it out in time to vote
on the matter. 1 do not care for the
credit so long as l get the school,"
Men who talk that way DO thcIr
duty when elected. They do not at
tempt to do spectacular things mere
ly to get into the limelight and pose
as purists. Neither do they finch
from doing their duty because doing
it would make them unpopular and
subject them to criticism. In fact
the man who is trimming his acts
to suit the public fancy is the weak.
est man possible in Office II he fails

Of adverse conditions. But worse
than all, he will shirk his tuty rather
than do an unpopular thing in doing

Governor Haskell has led restless
rowing, speculative and adventurous
life. and q good deal of the time has
carried halo of lawsuits along with
him. 1898 he was in Wall street, not
very conspicuously, but in way that
is still remembered by the denizens
of that dark alley. The World re-
ports a Wall street acquaintance Of
Haskell's as saying of him, with "a

any man who ever came to New

to Mexico, then to Texas, and finally
reached what Is now Oklahoma in
1901. He has had seven fat years in
Oklahoma. The singular constitution
of that state is full of his political
and financial ideas-he himself is the
governor of the new state. Governor
Haskell was the controlling man al
the Denver convention next to Mr.
Bryan, and in some ways Haskell ap.

BALD HEADS NOT WANTED.
Badness Is Too Generally Considered

A bad headed person does not have
an equal chance with one blessed with
healthy head of hair, because bald
ness is too generally accepted as an
indication of age. Many large cor
porations have established an age
limit, and refuse to take men over
81 years OF age as new employees.
Almost 65 per cent of bald headed
people may regain a good head OF
healthy hair IL they will follow our
advice and accept our offer. We have
q remedy that we positively guaran-

that unless 1t does exactly what we

charge for the remedy used during
