ITO dance well one must love to
dance, Stiff, gloomy dancers don't,

"They make me think Of a French
prince who waltzed thrice running with
pretty matron at a state ball
Though he danced execrably, the
matron was fattered. and when the
prince claimed a fourth waltz she
smiled and said:
"Thank you, sir, for this marked
compliment
81 don't intend it as a compliment,
the prince answered.
"She bit her lip.
"'Then.' she said, you must be very

"'I detest dancing" said he.

Madam, he answered stif1y, If

NEMRER oE Observation-Disclosures

THE CAUSE OF THE "PEoPLEo

Congressman Marshall has seen
great light and in an interview with
the Herald tells how the cause
of the '.people" is gaining ground
as against ga few men with money"
and how the machine" of the state
is to be smashed by the Insurgents,
including himself. Mr.. Marshall has
never been before the people in the
same political attitude he now
occupied. He was the candidate of
the machine" who was nominated
by one of the closest corporations
that ever carried through rush pro-
gram in state convention, when
Congressman Spalding was defeated
for denomination at Grand Forks,
and we never heard at that time or
in all the time since that - from
Mr.. Marshall-that the wishes of
the masses" had been oyerridden.
During his political career in the
state, Mr.. Marshall has had as close
a political corporation in Dickey
county as ever existed in the state,
and we have never heard from Mr..
Marshall or any of the members of it
that the people were overridden by
"a few men with money"
So far as money gose, we incline
to the belief that Mr. Marshall is as
well supplied with it as an lyman in
the state, and we have heard that
that was one reason he was favored
by ambitious Insurgents for the nom
ination for the senate-in order that
nigh be assured of an ample supply
of lubricating material, and it has
been said further that Mr.. Marshall
has not proven as liberal-in the
furthering of candidates. other than
his own-as the advance bill would
have indicated.
Mr.. Marshall was a member of the
machine" at the Jamestown conven-
ton, and We do not believe any
thing was heard from him two years
ago as to the overriding of the "peo-
ple.' Old friends of the congress-
man, who have supported him as the
party nominee through many cam.
paigns and who have known him az
clever gentleman, in all things al
Organization" republican, a mar
who was always to be relied upon tt
round up his county and stand b!
the party program, will learn will
more or less surprise of the grea
light that has come to him since hi,
ambition to go to the senate has de
veloped SO strongly.
Mr.. Marshall has an entire right tt
be a candidate for any Office within
the gift of the people, and to max.
any kind of campaign that he cal
reconcile with his record and hi
conscience.
The remarks that have been mad
here are not to be construed as an,
reflection upon Mr.. Marshall but jus
to show the probable depth of tn
sincerity and feeling he has for tn
\. sspeopie their battle against g
few men with money"

A sensible appropriation of the
government, to be expended through
the department of agriculture, is
that of $4,000 for soil investiga-
tion of lands west of the Missouri
river, part of which will be spent
in North Dakota. The investigation
of various soils and a determination
of how they san best be utilized to
| make them most productive and
profitable has been carried on to a
considerable extent by the depart
| ment, and it is the result of such
| investigations that has brought us
| bronze, grass, alfalfa, of hardy
| kinds, durum wheat and other pro-
ducts that yield heavily and with
stand the climate of this western
country and thrive with the normal
amount of rainfall. The Tribune
| has pointed out many times that it
is the scientific farmer who adapts
his crops to his land and to his eli
mate, and does not seek to make the
land and climate At the crops. In
this way, the best possible results
| are gained from the land and farm
ers become thrifty where otherwise
it might be difficult for them to
make a success of farming. This
work of the department should be
encouraged, and farmers and home
steaders should watch carefully the
reports Of this inquiry.

An air ship exploaded in the air in
California the other day and a num-
Der of persons who had an entirely
laudable ambition to navigate the
air came down in a more or less
damaged condition. A peculiar
feature of the accident was that some
of the occupants of the ship were
badly injured by jumping while the
ship was descending. This seems to
us foolish and altogether unneces-
sary proceeding. They were coming
down anyway, and would have reach
ed the ground in due time, If they
had only possessed themselves with
patience. Unless there was desire
on the part Of the jumpers to see
whether they could not beat the ship
to the ground, or unless they had
important business below that would
not wait until the arrival of the de-
scending ship, it is hard to explain
their anxiety to beat the falling ship
to Mother earth. A man who jumps
80 -
will reach the ground about as rapid
ly and with as severe a conclusion
as any kind of body that falls
through the air. We can understand
the impulses of the man who leaps
out of a ship that is rising, before
it gets too far up, for he may be-
lieve he is saving himself from a
greater fall after awhile. But, in
emergencies of this kind that really
existed, there was no excuse for
jumping. A little patience and the
ground would have been reached in
due time. 1t is this disposition to
hurry that is running the temper
and health of American people.

NO GENERAL WAGE REDUCTION
A.surnnccs Given That There Is No
Plan for Concerted Action.

WASHINGTON. February 2o.-Indus-
trial and financial circles have been
more or less concerned to-day over
what they regard as prospect that
the railroads OF the country have in
contemplation a general reduction In
the wages of their employees.
Such apprehension is practically
groundless. Information which has
reached the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and other officials of the gov
ernment indicates clearly that there Is
no concerted action on the part of
American railways to make general
changes in their wage scales. Instances
OF proposed readjustment of wage
scales are cited in the cases OF three
or four Southern systems. the South
ern Railway, the louisville and Nash
Vile. the Seaboard AIR Line and the
Atlantic Coast Line. being named as
practically the only roads in the coun-
try which may be affected is
the intention OF the officials OF the
lines named to consider with their en-
ployes the question of readjustment
of some, at least. of the wage scales
now in force with a view to reducing
their operating expenses. which they
regard as necessary. The plans OF
the officials have not been worked out
yet, because 1t Is their desire first to
present the situation which confronts
them fairly and impartilally to their
employees. 1t is expected that the em-
ployes may meet them half way. and
no serious difficulty is anticipated.
"outhern Confers With Engineers.
WASHINGTON, February 20.-A
conference was held here to-day be-
tween Southern Railway officials and
representatives OF the locomotive en- I.
gineers of that road with view to a
reduction OF the wages of the latter.
The proposition was made by the COM
pany to reduce the wages OF the en-
gineers about I per cent. or to return
to the scale in effect in October OF 1906.
No conclusion was reached.

cALLAo. February 2o.-The Amer

Evans. looking clean and trim and
powerful, in the tropical sun, came
to anchor in this port soon after 5
o'clock this morning.
The booming of the salutos an.
nounced tile arrival Of the fleet, but
there was no need to send out Sig
nails, for every resident of Callao and
great crowds from Lima, that stands
back on the hills, had awaited with
expectancy the first glimpse Of the ad-
vancing column.
Callao was in holiday array, and
many thousands viewed from the
wharves. the headlands and the ships
in the harbor the imposing scene. En-
thusiastic crowds went down the bay
on excursion steamers and cheered the
American men of war.
The Peruvian cruiser Coronel Bolo-
gesi, bearing the first official welcome
to the fleet, Joined the American ves-
sells yesterday morning. $50 miles to
the southwest, and acted as an escort
up the coast. She led the way into
the harbor this morning with the
flagship of the fleet close beside.
1t was stated. to-day that Admiral
Evans, who has been suffering almost
from the beginning of the voyage from
rheumatism, was slightly better, but
as yet he does not feel that he should
risk the danger of coming ashore.
Rear-Admiral Charles NJ Thomas, COM
mander OF the second squadron. will
represent him at official ceremonies,
but Rear-Admlrlal Evans is still the
commander OF the fleet.
The battleships will remain here
probably for ten days and will be
