Gen. Grant Early Habits.

When the world has reached the con-
clusion that, upon the whole, it has been
gloriously served by one of it's citizens, it
frowns upon those who would afterward
speak of "the spots on the sun"
1t has become practically impossible
for anybody to tell the whole truth about
any popular historical character.
Therefore, when Mr. Taft accepted the
invitation to deliver the memorial adj
dress in honor Of Gen. Grant, some weeks
ago. he was confronted with a puzzling
question: Should he allude to Gen Grants
we1l-known weakness for strong drink,
or should he "cut it OUT?
We think that, under the circumstances,
nobody would have found fault with Mr..
Taft had he omitted all reference to Gen.
Grants personal habits, The biographers
are expected to paint the full life-size pic
ture, warts and all"
Memorial addresses are intended to en-
phasize the greatness of the man and his
work-not his foibles and faults.
The surviving members of the family
of Gen. Grant, and many of his relatives,
together with thousands of his old COM
panions in arms, were present to hear Mr.,
Taft, and it was hardly in good taste for
him to allude to what was necessarily
painful subject.
Nevertheless, we think that his very
courage and frankness in telling ''the
truth, the whole truth and nothing but the
TRUTH" shows what full-grown man is
William II. Taft.
AS the address has been widely COM
mented upon, we reproduce the portion
which provoked criticism,
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-06-18
Speaks of Grants Personal Habits.

Secretary Taft's speech was devoted
entirely to Gen. Grants career as Mill
tary hero, and he failed to touch upon
current questions. He surprised his hear
ers by the remarkable frankness with
which he referred to Gen. Grants drink
ing habits, which, he said was the cause
of his leaving the army as young man,
and many of the veterans were inclined to
criticise the Secretary for what they re-
garded as bad taste in bringing in this
part of the great war hero's career in
memorial speech. Gen. Frederick d.
Grant, son of the great war general, stood
at Secretary Taft's side during the speech.
This reference was made after Score
tary Taft had told Of Gen. Grants gradu-
alton from West Point, and the fact that
he did we'll in the Mexican war, as did
other 1ieutenants. Then he said:
But in 1854 he resigned the army be-
cause he had to. He had yielded to the
weakness for strong drink, and, rather
than be court nartialed, he left the army
He returned from Vancouver on the Pa
cifc Coast to his family at St. Louis
without money, without property-a dis
heartened man. He accepted from his
father-in-laW loan of seventy-fve acres
of land upon which he constructed a
house for his family to live in, and there
he carried on farming operations.
Failure in Business.
His chief business seemed to be that
of selling wood, Of cutting it and piling it
in the back yards of the we1l-to-do people
of St. Louis After six years of this life
he gave up farming because of i'll health
and went into the real estate business for
a year He failed in this. His associate dis
solved the partnership. Then at last his
father offered him 5000 as a clerk in his
leather store at Galena, ILL.,, and thence
he moved from St. Louis. He worked
here for year also. During these seven
years, though everything looked dark, he
overcame in a great measure his weak
ness for strong drink. But he was so
constituted that it seemed impossible for
him to earn a livelihood, even when he
had given hostages to fortune in the
shape of wife and four children. Then
came the Civil War"

farmers will be successful il they only
study the conditions and do not go into
debt too much on the start.
DR.. H. Anderson, assistant state
veterinarian, returned Thursday even
ing from Billings county, where he had
been for some days looking after horses
afflicted with CHAMBERS. The doctor
hopes that there will he no further
trouble. In the locality OF Beach 10
horses were killed and it was also
necessary to kill one horse in the
Sentinel Butte country.
The lease for the 1000 acres of land
which Charles Colgrove leased to the

ago will expire the coming spring and
the owner may think it best to move out

ranch, watered by some of the finest
springs anywhere and the creek, and
supplied with a fine coal bank. Nh
Colgrove is the second Oldest car re.
pairer for the N. P. in Dickinson and
dislikes to give up so good a position,
but the temptation is quite strong to re-
turn to the ranch and look after 100
head of cattle and other stock that he
owns.

Corn for North Dakota

Diversified farming is the next step in
the development of our state. Not only
the farmers success, but the prosperity
of every business and profession depends
on proper husbandry.
The following list of corr varieties
suitable to North Dakota conditions,
prepared by Ill.,. Hughes, an advanced
student at the North Dakota Agricultural
college, will be of wide interest at this
time Of year when farmers are securing
seed and making plans for the coming
year. The dent varieties are listed in
order of earliness, as are also the flint
varieties. The earliest flint variety is a
little earlier than the earliest dent. The
varieties here given have been raised at
the Fargo experimental station, and
some of them along the northern boun-
dairy of the state.
Dent
(D North Dakota 100. Eight rowed
deeply denied white kernel, cob
white.
(2) Golden dent. Ear short, well
filled, cob white, shank small, ker.
mel small, deep, wedge shaped
rough, denied, color yellow.
~ Minnesota King. Short ear Of
good type, cob red, shank small
kernel broad and fiat, color mixed
white and yellow, tending to flint
row $40.
"a Northwestern dent. Well filled
red ear with. white cob, shank
rather big, crowns of kernels rather
%yellowish, ear fair sized, lows reg.
ular.
81 Pride of North Dakota. Ear
same as in (V, cob red, shank
small, kernel yellow, wedge shaped,
dented, rows many, slightly un.
even.
Flint
(D Squaw corn. Ear small, kerr
nels many colored.
(2) Wills Dakota. Cob white,
shank large, ear tapering, kernels
round, rows regular.
81 Jehu. Color light yellow with
white cob, large shank, rows many
and irregular.
(N Mercer. Yellow of rich shade,
cob white, with large shank, ker.
mel wedge shaped, rows many and
straight.
81 Triumph. Yellow, long white
cob with large shank, larger than
Mercer and lighter shade of yell
low, many rowed and rows regular,
kernels broad.
(6) Longfellow. Same general type
as Triumph, save that ears are
regularly eight rowed and the
kernels are broader. Longfellow
and Triumph are o-12 inches long
and may easily be taken the one
for the other.
" King Philip. Small red ear,
crowns tinged with yellow, row 8,
we'll shaped cob, large shank, kerr
nels broad and not deep.
While other varieties may doubtless
prove of value, these have been extern
sively tested at the North Dakota station
and have been found generally adapted
to our climatic conditions. Golden dent,
Longfellow and Triumph are among the
best, judged by type of ear.
A mature ear of corn, adapted to our
climate, is firm on the cob, of rather
small size, as viewed by the man from
the corn belt, full from butt to tip, with
tip we'll covered by kernels. An un-
covered tip indicates a late maturing
type of corn, as does also ~looseness on
the cob. The cob should be solid and
weigh about IS per n of the total
weight of ear.

Number Of Representatives Have
IheIr Eyes on Higher Things.
WANT TO LAND IN SENATE CHAMBER
Terms Of Number of United States
senatoro win Shortly Expire and
There is Much Speculation as TO
Their Successors.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 49,
Several members of The House of
Representatives are looking with
longing eyes toward seats in the Sem
ate to succeed men whose terms cx-
plre u year from next March. No
member OF the House from Iowa Is Il
candidate for the Senate against All
son unless that senator should be ont
OF the race. In that event William
Il. Hepburn and Walter l.. Smith
would be considered az receptive
candidates. Wesley l.. Jones OF Wash
ington is nm outspoken candidate for
the seat occupied by I.cvi Ankcny,
Frank Clarke and w. II. Lamar of
Florida. are willing to take the place
now occupied in the Senate by Will
liam j. Bryan, the youngest man In
that body. Senator Clay OF. Georgia
has no active rivals In the House. but
II Is said that the Democrats of that
state have great fondness for Eli
1ah j. Lewis. 1t IL rather strange
that Senator Hopkins of Illinois has
no candidates among the members Of
Tile House against him, although the
lllinoiD delegation has a number OF
members who would be ornaments to
The state ana IL IL surprising that they
are not brought forward. Among
them may be mentioned Henry s.
liontell George T. Foss Frank O.
I.owden, George w. Prince. William
Is. Mckinley, William a. Rodcnberg,
not To mention the young and
Sprightly member who has many
Umes been II candidate for the SEN
nte. the Hon. Joseph c. Cannon. Sen
ator Hemenway of Indiana has no
rivals among the members of tho
Hcuse. although Jesse Ovcrstroat.
Charles q. Landis and Edgar d.
Cru;npacker are OF senatorial size.
