The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-07-01

The town of Prosser has brought
suit against Henry Oldenstead, petit
tioning the court to abate an alleged
public nuisance caused by Mr.. Olden-
stead's horse corral In the complaint
it is charged that Mr.. Olmstead is the
owner of mules and that the noisy
means, cries, bawls, shrieks and
groans' issuing from the corral are
unpleasant to those living in the neigh
borhood" Prosser's watchword of
take your wife to Prosser" was at
tractive, but this war on the mule is
a "horse of different color" and will
never do. The people of Whitman
county rather like the bray of a mule,
as the big wheat raisers consider him
an honored beast of burden. Long live
the mule, and may his shadow never
grow less !-Colfax Gazette.

BOLLEY ON DANDELIONS
a. c. Professor Takes Exceptions to
the Article Regarding Eradiea-
ton OF Weeds.

Prof. H. l.. Bolley of the department
of botany of the agricultural college
takes exceptions to a statement in
The Forum of last evening in which
he was misquoted during his paper
before the Polytechnic society on the
subject of weed eradication by means
of the chemical spray. In the follow
ing communication to The Forum
Professor Bolley makes his statement
on the subject clear.
To The Forum: / am making every
legitimate effort TO have the farmers
of this region recognize the aid that
the method of spraying furnishes in
controlling weeds. Overstatement,
however, never aids any cause. AS
! do not wish to have anyone deceiv-
ed ais to what may be expected OF This
new but important process in agri-
cultural work, hope that the Forum
will say for me that / have never used
the expression Another year and
there will be no more dandelions on
the campus Of the agricultural col
lege,' as printed in your issue of Oct.
% under the heading mo More DAN
delions.' = Some over enthusiastic
young reporter made that sentence
and credited it TO me- The expert
mentor does not deal in prophesies.
and in this weed work. would not
likely law claim to powers of mi
racle.
try always to avoid over state
ment of what may be expected of our
experiments at the college, and in the
matter of spraying to control dande-
lions in lawns, have at all times been
careful to make no stronger claim for
the spraying method than to say that,
believe it to be the easiest and most
economic way of holding these weeds
under control.
We are making no attempt to de-
stroy all Of the weeds upon the grounds
Of the college. The department OF
botany is only conducting demonstra-
ton trials on certain portions of the
grounds However, 1t is hoped that
all who feel interested In these trials
viii take special look at the sprayed
areas and contrast them with the un-
sprayed areas.
Personally, think the dandeIion
question one of minor Importance as
contracted with the fine results which
the discovery Of weed spraying pro-
cesses have made possible to the grain
farmer.

GRITTY FOREIGNER REACHES
MINNEAPOLIS AFTER LONG
TRAMP FROM MINoT--soLD PA.
PERs ON FARGO STREETS TO
GET MONEY TO LIVE ON.

Hilary Stozcek, a gritty little Rus
sian Jew, has just completed the feat
of walking from Minot to Minneapolis
through Fargo, q distance of $40 miles,
In just ten days, stopping in Fargo
for several hours one afternoon to get
Q little more money on which to live
while making the trip. He is a me-
chanical and electrical engineer, a

Stozcek is Ave feet two inches In

for two weeks, decided to go to Fargo
for work in his profession. He left
Minot not very warmly dressed, with
but so cents in his pocket, He carried
small wallet, In which were precius
diplomas from Russian universities
and few drafting tools.
He made the trip to Fargo In 1--WE
days and tried to find work here. He
and made so cents. Then he started
for Minneapolis. which he made in ave
days more, walking about eighteen
hours a day, sleeping in the open and
living on crackers and water, and had
10 cents of his original capital remain
ing when he arrived.
Stozeck did not seem to think his
trip was out of the ordinary. He felt
- q 4 a So
slept mostly in the afternoon, and
Travelled in the night and early morn
ing, when it was too cold to sleep,
and stood the trip well.
/. Stozeck came from Russia via Que
bee, about four months ago, to Minot
where he had position as q mechani-
cal craftsman. He worked at 1t for
two months and then the work gave

he has entered upon his work and was
much pleased with prospects that are
presented. While still at an carly
stage Of his study he is of the belief
that the fluid will some day become

PROF. kLIMMEk's IDEAS.

To The Forum: Universal, national,
as well as local ethical problems can
not permanently be improved by in
dividuals, nor even by the concerted
action of factional sentiment. Indi-
vidual opinion is subject to environ
ment and egotistic advantages. In
this even whole community, state
or race may err. To make such i'm
provements Of permanent duration.
each and every individual member of
the community must from earliest
childhood, be trained in the intended
moral, social and political direction.
The teacher or preacher, who thinks,
he can solve such vital problems with
his personal or fractional logic and
drakonic measures of the temporary
law, will fail in his efforts from lack
of universal logic and personal charity.
Where is the trained conscience or
moral and what have we done in this
direction? Do we suppose, a few
lectures from cathadre or pulpit will
built up character?--(with most OF
us old this LIS rather hopeless case
anyhow. Have we forgotten, that we
must teach the child the way the
imam" shall go? To understand the
Mosaic and Christian law thoroughly
we must study 1t systematically as
well as methodically, the same as any
other study. And not until such
teaching has become a part of our in
ner self, that lis part OF our soul and
mind, can we expect to be dominated
by 1t in our private, social and polit-
ical life; otherwise we will mix up the
deeper ethics of Christ and his teach
ing with the doctrines of some over
jealous reformer We will then be
able to distinguish between the crimi-
nal and the civil law breaker.
In the first instance the state, that
Is the community, is the prosecutor.
in the other case the offender will be
held to account by the harmed indi-
vidual We are Matchmaking our
laws gradually; but until this is ac-
complished. local laws will not per-
manentiy be effective. Why, as long
as the law breaker OF one community
is not held seriously criminal In the
eyes OF another commonwealth, he
liz not and should not be considered
criminal at large. or we will blur
by such contradictory teaching the
moral sense and character of the weak
altogether. Only the universal, and
not the special law viii be effective.
In theory cordially agree with the
temperance man---not with the pro-
hibitionist--but do not approve OF
their methods Here I rather rest
with the recent movement on part OF
the school authorities OF the state OF
South Dakota, to introduce into the
curriculum Of the public schools of
that state ethical Instructions OF a
uniform standard. Such instructions

can be no, controversy.

that the ends contemplated In article

North Dakota republicanism are again
seriously discussing the question of
whether the party's members In the
next legislature shall or shall not be
compelled to vote for the primary
election nominee for United States
senator. do not know as to the
constitutionality OF the law covering
this subject, and II seems to me that
the question is immateriai so far as
relating to the moral obligation OF re-
publican leaders and legislative NOM
mess at this time. The obligation is
not primarily one of law but one of
loyalty to personal pledges and to the
pledges and record OF the party The
law, such as 1t Is, is a republican mea-
sure, passed by republican majority.
1t was presumably enacted In good
faith and was SO accepted by the vot-
ers and nominees In the primary cleo
ton. The party's platform declared
for primary election principles In 1905
and reiterates Its 10y lily TO these
principles In the present campaign.
II goes further and sreciaIly endorses
the principle OF popular election OF
United States senator's. a principle
which the present law seeks to apply
SO far as now practicable. 1t will
be remembered that public express
sion OF the party's choic for United
States senator was made some years
ago In Ohio In favor OF Marcus A.
Hanna, and the fight then put up by
the foraker faction seeking to nullify
the action OF the state convention
on this subject resulted In one Of the
bitterest fractional fights III receI
political history. II the republican
leaders In North Dakota are earnestly
seeking harmony among the voters
naturally inclined to the republican
party, believe they should hasten to
disavow any interest In the outcome
OF the present constitutional test in.

action to be taken at Bismarck this
winter; and TO secure from their Iegss~
Iative nominees an open reiterafion OF
