Congress passed law sometime ago
making telegraphers days only nine
hours. Heretofore the days were twelve
hours long. This of course will make it
necessary for the railroads to employ
more men. But now comesthe rub, the
telegraphers want the same pay and the
roads want ito decrease the pay in pro-
portion to the number of hours. The
law was togo into effect on March LIST,
but the railway people ask for more
time. The reduction in wages goes
especially hard on the agents of the
small STATIONS where hours do not really
cut muchifigure and for the most of the
time the agent is idle. There may be
another telegraphers strike, but as the
telegraphers made a failure of a strike
quite recently it is not likely.

1t would be better for Fargo to have
just one OF the numerous great factories
whose products it sells, than to merely
sell some OF the products of them all.
The factory would bring more families
to Fargo than all the agencies combined
that are now established there.
Manufaoturingis the real new era for
the BED River Valley. When we can
make paper of wheat straw, cloth and
rope from our fax straw, and grind our
wheat into -four in local mills, make our
own agricultural machinery and wagons
then we will have people-and it is peo-
pie that make;a state. Then when the
food producer. and the food consumer
are next neighbors will there be pros
perity, and freight rates and wheat
inspection and ssuch matters will be
things of the past, because the farmer
will sell almost direct to the consumer.

We notice in reading our exchanges
that except for few extremists, that
the general tone of the country press is
getting to be very conservative in the
matter 'ot candidates and fachonal diff
erenees. Most of those who have par
ticular preference for one or more can.
didases are contenting themselves with
sounding the praises of the preferred
and are letting the other fellow alone.
A very large part Of the state press as
yet are not saying much about any
candidates. It begins to look asthough
the Republican press had begun to see
where the "forks of the road" lead.

AN IMPORTANT CONVENTION

The eakng Of the .caueuses and coun-
~ conventions now being made by the
state and county COMMITTEES reminds
IFS that this is about all that is left of
the party organizations or the power to
perpetuate such organizations, and un-
der the primary law this only occurs
once in four years; for only for a presi-
dental election will the party delegates
hereafter be called into convention to-
gether. This makes the present state
convention Of particular interest in
many ways. Among other things not
particularly specified in the call will be
the selection Of national committee
man to succeed Mr.. Alexander McKen.
zie.
1t is quite probable that at this con-
vention there will be an opportunity
and effort to heal the breaches now evil
dent in the ranks of the party. But this
will be difficult matter, because the
leaders of the progressive. faction are
not men who care to compromise.
The leaders of the other side though
men of strong personality, are mostly
men whose experience in politics would
make them willing to compromise and
unite the factions. It is one Of the
great differences between real leader
and man who just wants to have his
own way.
The real leader is willing to 60 the way
Of the people, while the other fellow
always insists on the people going with
him. 5

Prof. Ladd has the -four millers
in a dilemma. The miilers have always
contended that durum wheat was infer.
ior and in buying it have made the price
about twenty cents less than ordinary
wheat. But they have been mixing
durum with common wheat in the max
ing 'offour, in some cases as high as
thirty to forty per cent. But when
Pnof. Ladd demands that they label the
product accordingly, they say it is an
injustice because the mixture does not
hurt the grade of the -four. The argu-
ments to the producer of the wheat and
the consumer of the -four do not hardly
coincide.

Some people. on the Red river about
twenty miles from Grand Forks, near
Neillsville, ARE trying to work scheme
to dam the Redriver and use the power
for electric railways, etc. AS the He'd
is "navigable" river it is not probable
that the government will consent, but
as matter of fact, this old sluggish
stream with Its high banks and low
water has tdts ofpower, which is now
going to waste .andvwhich will sometime
be utilized. Right; here in Pembina We
have lots Of water erfrunning away in the
Pembina river that>would run a -four
mill and furnish electricity for cars and
other purposes, lthat>will be made avail
able sometime.
One of the chief difficulties in running
manufacturing plants in this part of
the country is the high price of fuel,
which the use of water power would
largely obviate- ; Agriculture and COM
merce together do little to build large
cities, unless these are backed by manu-
featuring establishments. st. Paul had
the commerce in the former years, but
Minneapolis developed it's water power
and started manufacturing and now it
exceeds st. Paul in commerce.
That is the problem that just now
faces that marvellous city just across
the line, Winnipeg has grown to large
dimensions just through trade. That
trade is now shared in by dozen other
ambitious and growing towns, which 80
far as mere trade is concerned have
equal advantages. Winnipeg can ~nly
hold its supremacy by inaugurating
manufactures, but must look for power
other than coal or wood because of the
cost.
On our own side of the line, Grand
Forks and Fargo have the same pro-
blem to face. Both have established q
fine jobbing trade, ct the expense Of st.
Paul and Minneapolis, but they will
find that in the near future other towns
farther west and nearer the retailers
will in turn take their trade from them.
The future Of both cities must depend
largely on manufacturing plants. Fargo
for instance to-day figures among some
much larger cities in the amout Of bank
clearances, which represents trade al.
most entirely. In another sense it re-
presents manufactures, for Fargo is
one Of the great distributing points for
agricultural machinery, but the factories
sa5e not there. s5..'. !, !. = 4 5.34 i.

SONALLY CONSULT WITH MEN,
BEERS OF CONGRESS ON MATTER

Washington. D. c., April 2.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt is determined that there
shall be law placed upon the statute
books prohibiting child labor in the ma
tional capital. If congress carries out
his wishes the law will serve as a mod
ell for the states. thus securing that
uniformity of legislation which is es-
sential for the effective control Of this
evil.
For the past two years the president
has been incorporating in his messages
recommendations for comprehensive
child labor legislation for the District
Of Columbia, IT has become evident
, TO the president that mere recommen-
datiOn is not enough. and he is now
making it a point to speak directly to
members as to the conditions which ex-
list in Washington.

1t is not for a naughty dog. And
Bill has disgraced himself. The an
tics of the dog are really pathetic. He
runs back and forth from the corner
of Fourth and Main streets to the
court house door. He attempts to
follow persons into the building. but
those unacquainted with him do not
know he has been a Privileged char
acter heretofore, and taking him only
at his apparent value, refuse to ad-
nit him. Those who are acquainted
with Bill remember his cur-like action
in biting the bailiff, and will not open
the doors TO him. Bill is a living ex
ample of the dog that every body
kicks when down. He has suffered a
great fall from the esteem of judges,
lawyers, county officers and reporters.
The latter made Bits fame, and now
seek to take 1t from him.
Mr.. Markley's hand has been eau

prevent blood poison. The veins on

Bishop Prepares sermons While shaw

LONDON, May 2s.-The Bishop of
London, at a crowded meeting at Park
stone on Thursday, revealed an inter-
esting secret when he said that he
prepared all his sermons and speeches
while dressing. While washing and
shaving, he said, his brains seemed to
work in astonishing manner. and he
did not know how to find time to pre-
pare his sermons and addresses If he
did not do SO while dressing.
''The art Of shaving gives one a
clear mind.'' said the Bishop and
when In that stateSit is unnecessary.
for me- to say that one is at his best
so far as mental effort Is concerned.
I framed in my mind many of my best
sermons while shaving. and when I
want to prepare an address of any
merit I generally defer the prepara-
5tion until it is time for me to lather
my face. advise those who have
occasion to make addresses to follow
my example, for they will find that
thoughts come to them while shaving
themselves that otherwise will not oc-
cur to Them.
The audience smiled at the Bishops
remarks, and he Joined in the merri-
ment, but he insisted that he was tell
ing the truth, whereupon there was a
general laugh.
