DRAWING THE COLOR LINE.

In. Grand Forks and East Grand
Forks, so the Herald tells US the col
Or line is apt to be sharply drawn. In
Grand Forks the restaurant keepers do
not want the patronage of negroes, who
claim that red pepper is put in their
pork chops and that they are over
charged. In East Grand Forks the
bartenders have habit of failing to
see a negro when he steps up to the
bar, and the man thus humbled, TN
herstands that the colored line is
drawn, morally if not legally. .
The using of red pepper in pork
efiops and the ignoring of the dark
skinned applicant for frothy beer or
stronger liquor are fine and diplomatic
matters of drawing the color line with
ant the use of the axe or the cleayer
and will commend themselves to the
peacefully and exclusively inclined.
They offer no excuse for race riots
and they form hints that can be driven
home like ten penny nails into pine
boards. Possibly if we had some
scheme like this in Springfield we should
have avoided the troubles of the past
week or two. Commend us to the
plan of the Twin Cities at Grand

ALFALFA |. A ! Big j| SUCCESS
WONDERFUL FORAGE PLANT
FATTENS ALL KINDS OF AMI
MAILS IN A SHORT TIME. =

jamestown Alert: The samples of
this years alfalfa crop from the
river farm of b. w. Fuller, southeast
Of the city, attracted considerable at
tention in the Alert ONCE window.
The alfalfa plants are from roots
that have now become thoroughly en-
grated in the soil. The plants
measure from thirty to thirty-six
inches or more In length and COM
prise : heavy nutritious forage feed.
The plants were cut In blossom.
& The seed was hrst sown about four
years ago without any nurse crop
accompanying It. The hrst fall the
crop was cut to some extent but at
the second cutting or the hrst year
after seeding there was good,
strong yield obtained and two cut
tings for that year made. In the

second and third years two crops
were cut, and this year there will be
two crops from the same field.
Mr.. Fuller has had wide expert
ence In raising and feeding stock of
all kinds, and he says that for feed
his alfalfa is about as good as any
in the world. Horses fed on alfalfa
don't need much grain.
On the north side of the house at
the Fuller farm thirty acres of alf-
alta, we're seeded a year ago without
a nurse crop. The plants have been
cut once this year and they gave fair
yield. II alfalfa starts with a lot of
weeds along with it, both weeds and

THE FIRST BATTLE.

II appears that the first battle par
licipated in by the North Dakota
sroops-or part of them-on the way
west, was with the keepers of some
restaurants at Pasco. A charge was
made upon the ham sandwich platters,
gsortie against the eating house

against the enemy behind the embank-

MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
MORE GHOSTS IN THE HERALD
OFFICE,

The Grand Forks Herald has it from
%stalwart" sources that steps will be TAX
en- to test the whole primary election
law, the inference of the Herald's sug-
gestions being that H. G. Hansbrough
and C.. B. Little, in the event of the
failure of the law, would become can
didates before the legislature for cleo
ton to the United States senate. The
Herald seems always so afraid that the
stalwarts will not do something to dis
please it that it maintains a bureau of
suggestion along this line, and contin-
ually spreads broadcast reports it has
from "stalwart" sources of evil deeds
done or about to be done.
So far as the Tribune has heard, there
are no stalwarts lying awake nights to
End flaws in the primary election law,
and the stalwert press of the state has
generally declared the intention of the
stalwarts to abide by the law and sup
port the candidates who have been nam
ed under it. But lest the people of the
state be led to believe that the stalwarts
arts are good Republicans and good citi-
zens, the Herald is forced, periodically,
TO contribute something from the realm
Of speculation to keep alive this foolish
suspicion and controversy that has so far
demoralize the Republican party in
the state. And besides it has been gen.
orally agreed among former "stalwarts"
and insurgents" that both of these
terms shall be abolished and no ques-.
tons asked or explanations made. d <Ff

There came yesterday to sensation

many phases of the Hams tragedy. The

DEMOCRATIC HOPE sIDETRAcKED
Taft and Foraker Shoulder to Shout

Taft and Foraker Shoulder to Shout
der for Republican Principles.
Another Democratic hope has been
Adetracked That was that United
States Senator Foraker would not sup
port the Taft candidacy. and would
thus impair his chances Of carrying the
State OF Ohio.
The two big Ohioans nttingly met
at the q. A. X. reunion in Toledo, and
publicly and good-naturedly cast what
them TO the air.
Mr.. Taft's contribution to the treaty
OF peace was as follows:
1T is pleasure for me to be here
with Senator Foraker. because when
governor OF Ohio he gave me my first
chance and took good deal OF risk In
putting a man Of 20 ON the bench of
the Superior Court of Cincinnati. We
are about TO enter-or rather have en-
tered-a great oratorical campaign. II
Ia pleasure to think I'm this presence
that we are going to stand In the
campaign shoulder to shoulder. with
the full strength OF the Republican
party"
In response Senator Foraker denied
that enmity had existed between Mr..
Taft and himself, and said:
"Under the circumstances L hope
may be pardoned If | say here in this
presence-the first time l have had
opportunity TO say it-that there Is not
now and so far as know there never
has been the slightest Ill feeling Of any
kind between Mr.. Taft and myself.
az there is anything l have right
to claim beyond another, IL In that
am Republican three hundred and sixty
FIVE days in the year. l have my pref
srences sometimes as TO who should
receive the honors of the party, and
everybody generally finds out what they
are. But | am one Of those old-fash-
Toned Republicans who settle every such
question at the convention. When the
Chicago convention nominated Mr.. Taft
To he the Republican candidate for the
Presidency this year, that instant he
became my leader. He has been my
lender ever since, and he will be my
leader until the polls close on the night
Of the election"
Mr.. Foraker followed with an esti-
mate of Judge Tafts fitness for the
ONCE he seeks by repeating what Bishop
Fallows had said before him.
II want to repeat it, he said, that
his experience on the bench, In the
Philippines. as Secretary Of War, In
the construction Of the Panama Canal.
In all the positions he has filed has
been such as TO qualify Mr.. Taft al
most beyond every other man for the
Presidency. We are going to elect him.
and II he does not make success Of
II, It will be his own fault"
Senator Foraker followed this state
ment with review OF his early ac-
quaintsnce with Judge Taft, and the
favorable impression he then gained Of
him.

WANT PASTOR BACK
Riverdale and EIweIl Members
of N. E. Church Protest
Elm Halls Action.

The members of the Methodist Epis-
copal church who reside at Riverdale
and Elwel were quite indignant Tues
day TO learn that the Elm Hall mem
bers of the Riverdale, Elm Hall and
Elwell circuit had sent protest TO the
general conference now on at st. Joseph
Mich, against returning Rev. A. +.
Hart, the present minister filling the
circuit The protest was based entire
~ on the ground that the parish prefer
ed less expensive preacher, and not
against Mr.. Hart personally.
When their action became known, the
Riverdale and Elwell members got busy
and as a result petition asking for Mr..
Harris return and signed by all the men,
bers living at Elwell and Riverdale was
prepared and will be handed direct 10
the presiding bishop at the conference
by Rev. j. NJ. Wolfe of Alma.
Rev. A. +. Hart filled this circuit for
the past year and it was supposed there
would be no opposition to his return.
He gets $3.50 year This is divided be-
tween the three Villages. During the
year new passionate has been built at
Riverdale and Mr.. Hart has taken up
his residence there. Before then Elm
Hall was the head of the three town cir
cult. Mr.. Hart worked hard for the
new pastorate and he has worked hard
for the NJ. f. Church a; Elm Hall, Riv-
erdale and Elwell. 1t can hardly be
said that man who breaches in three
different towns in one day does any
thing else but work.
The Riverdale and Elwell members
are willing TO assume the entire finan-
cial responsibility of Mr.. Harris salary
and let Elm Hall members contribute
what they can. 1t has undoubtedly been
a little difficult for Elm Hall to raise a
full $3.50 but under this arrangement
the members could raise all that was
possible, and the balance could be made
up by Elwell and Riverdale. 1t is hoped
the matter will be amicably settled.
