In North Dakota we don't grow

In North Dakota we don't grow nc
silver dollars on the trees,
Nor yet any honey from wasps and
humble bees,
But We raise the shining golden wheat
the best we ever knew
And we ship our products on the Great
Northern and the 500:
We also raise the apples on the trees
we plant ourselves,
And we have them piled in heaps up
on our pantry shelves
Also vegetables we raise in our gar
dens galore
And spuds the best and biggest that
you ever saw before
We also seed some flowers for the
busy little bee,
So we have the silver dollar and the
honey don't you see?

Prohibition.

New Orleans, Feb. S.-Cardinal Glib.
bons, who is stopping here, in an in
terview on prohibition, published to-
day says:
II am persuaded that it is practic'
ally impossible to put prohibition into
effect in any large community and
the best means therefore to promote
temperance is to limit the number OF
saloons by high license. l would be
in favor of inflicting severe punish
ment on the proprietors of saloons
who violated the law in the first in.
stance; and in the second instance OF
violation, l would withdraw the Ii
cense altogether.
In the country places would sug
gest local option as an excellent
means for the repression of intemper
ance if, in the judgment of the major
ity of the voters, the sale of liquor
should be entirely eliminated.
Laws like prohibition that are Ger
tain to be violated had best not be
made, for incessant violation draws
down upon them disrespect''

ALL ARE AGREED ON STATE
 HOOD.

ALL ARE AGREED ON STATE
 HOOD.
 Just about this time of year, every biennial year, the statehood question is made a political issue by our democratic friends We have reason to believe that but for that thing the territory would have had a bet ter chance of admission.
 The Tucson Citizen is now endeav- bring to revive the old trick at a time when there is nothing to be gained by it, beyond fooling the vot- CTS by making them believe that the sole hope of admission lies in dem ocratic success, incidentally local democratic success.
 ''The statehood plank in the Den yer convention" says the Citizen, will be an unequivocal guarantee of immediate admission" Passing over the fact that platform blanks are guarantees of nothing and are only recommendations of party policies, we may Say that the plank adopted by the republicans at Chicago is as unequivocal as a recommendation can be and that. moreover, it rsp presents a change Of view, based upon new information concerning Arizona, by powerful republican senators and rep resentatives who have hitherto op- posed admission. That plank is there fore guaranty that those who have been against us are now for us.
 Without the aid of those republi- cans, especially those in the senate, there can be no statehood immedi- ately or within the next two years for that long at least there is no possibility of 'overturning the republi- can majority.
 Thus it is patent that the Denver convention can guarantee" nothing; that even a democratic national ad-
