GOOD SUBSCRIBERS.

We have had occasion recently tn
send out over 1000 letters to our sub
scrlbers relative to paying up sub
scr1ption, and the returns are far in
excess OF what we expected when we
took into consideration the financial
furry that swept over the country
soon after We took management of this
paper. The farmers of North Dakota
are not broke, if we can take our ex-
'perience as any criterion of the con-
dition of them all. We note especially
prompt returns from the community
that is tributary to Devils Lake
through the farmers line and we are
led to believe that this community
must be especially blessed with farm
ers of the paying sort, for we have
rather gotten in the habit of watch
Ing the post Office pretty closely, after
the arrival Of the Farmers line train,
for we have nearly always received
nice budget of mail therefrom and
the nice part of it is that nearly every
letter contained portion of the coin
of the realm and few good words
,, and we have yet to find the first poll.

President Roosevelt in the Foulke
letter declared that he was appointing
more democrats than republicans to
the consular service in order to give
the south its quota of representation.
This action has called fourth APPROX
ing words from the southern news
papers, for instance the Atlantic con-
stitution is moved to remark: "Mr.
Roosevelt is right in establishing the
precedent that the South shall not
be penalized for its political solidar.
1ty." But, on the other hand, what
possible excuse can the South now
give for that political solidarity" Is
1t not time to break away from a pre-
JUDGE that works the greatest harm
on those who nurse it?

nights trying to think of good things
to say about them and. their political

Does Not Apply to 9Th District

At. a meeting of the states attorneys
Of North Dakota, held at jamestown
resolutions were passed deploring the
fact that SO many criminal cases were
reversed by the supreme court on tech.
nical grounds, 1t being stated that In
the entire United States forty-six per
cent of the criminal cases appealed
were reversed by the higher courts
and new trials ordkssFed' .. p
We are glad to' say this condition
does not obtain in the Fifth district
Judge Burke Of this district has pre-.
sided at over two hundred criminal
trials during his four year term, this
number including ten murder trials
and nearly one hundred other felonies:
he has tried and sentenced nearly a
hundred men to the state penitentiary.
and over a hundred to the county jails.
During this time not single crimi.
nal case tried before him has been
reversed by the supreme court; not a
single county has had to bear the ex.
pense of a new trial in criminal case.
The election of Judges of Judge
Burke's type would do much to remedy
the condition of which the states at.
torneys complain.--Valley City Times.

RECIPROClTY.

The republican party has always
believed in reciprocity in noncompeti
tive products. The duty on articles
that we cannot produce in this country
can be profitably suspended if by SC
doing we are given compensatory con.
SHERATON as regards articles produced
IN foreign countries. The recent agree.
ment with France illustrates the case
very forcibly President Roosevelt has
issued a proclamation greatly reduc.
ing the duty on certain grades of
champaign and other sparkling wines
in conformity with the provisions of
Article Ill of the Dingley bill. In
exchange for this the following con.
cession is made:
1t is agreed, On the part of the
french government that the applica-
tlon OF the duties of the general tariff
to coffee, cocoa, chocolate. vanilla and
other pure food products known in. the
French Tariff law as "denrees colon
tales de consommation," except sugar
and Its by-products and tobacco, pro-
ducts of the United States, including
Porto Rico, shall be conditionally sus-
pended, and that the said products
shall be admitted into France and Al
gerla at the rates of the minimum tar
III or at the lowest rates applied to
the like products of any other foreign
origin.
In addition, mineral oils from the
United States and coming under the
decree of July T.. 1893, shall, upon
entry into France and Algeria, enjoy
the benefits of the lowest rates of

Hon. {. G. Cooper

Forman News: Of the various can.
didates, none will rank higher In the
estimation of the people of North Da.
kota than E. C. Cooper of Grand Forks.
Mr.. Cooper desires to succeed himself
as commissioner of insurance and as
he has shown unusual ability in the
management of that important office
during his preceding term, it lis high.
ly probable that he will be granted
another term. He is a stalwart re.
publican but singularly has few en-.
emies-even in his own city, Grand
Forks, which is an insurgent strong
hold. Mr.. Cooper is not exactly
politician. He is better than that.
he is man who has succeeded in poll.
tics because of honesty, integrity and
business acumen. Not a breath of
scandal in connection with the In.
surance commissioner Office has been
possible since e. c. Cooper was elect
ed commissioner. Let him succeed
himself by all means!

RAMSEY FOR HAMsRRouGH,

: 1t Is difficult for us to understand
how any loyal hearted citizen OF Ram
sey county and especially Of Devils
Lake can throw his influence against
the reelection of Senator HI G. Hans
brough when they take into 'considera-
tion what he has done for this city
and what, he is in a position to do.
The fine new $15O,O00.OO government
building that is to be built in this city
the coming summer stands as a re-
hinder to us that he has not forgotten
us. This building is much more Ella
borate than is usually given to places
OF this size and shows that there must
have been powerful influence
brought to bear to procure this ap-
preparation. Then again when we see
the general endorsement that our
townsman is receiving throughout the
state 1t would seem strange indeed if
we did not feel proud that he was one
of us. -
There is probably no one thing that
has made so many friends for Mr..
Hansbrough as his fearless onslaught
on the International Harvester Co.
This is farming community and it be-
hooves us to do all we can for this
class of citizens Would we be. doing
it five opposed one who is doing all
he can to remove from the farmers
the worst enemy they have? y
We cannot but feel that what little
opposition there is to the senator in
this community is inspired by per-
sonal prejudice. 1t is decidedly small
at the best and indications show that it
is getting smaller all the time. What
enemies there are here to the senator
are very quiet, and really we would
be surprised very much if they were
otherwise

Congressman Scott, of the House
Agricultural committee working in
connection with the department. of
agriculture are evolving a plan that
if brought into play is sure to be of
great benefit to the farmers Of the
country. The plan is substantially
this. Each farmer who will will be ask
ed to set aside an acre of land which
he will cultivate as instructed by an
expert employed by the government.
There will be no expense to the farm
er and what is raised on the land shall
go to the farmer who owns the land.
This work is to be carried on for ten
years and it is thought that in this
way the farmer will be able to derive
more benefits in the way of knowledge
OF soil culture than in any way, and
the idea seems very plausible.
