like that which the government has
given away. The quantity of land
cannot be increased to keep pace with
the increasing number of people.
But if this is the case, the produc-
tiveness of the land can be increased,
and in this way the same result ac-
hieved as if the total quantity of land
were increased. Irrigation and bet
ter methods of farming can be prac-
ticed to the benefit of this and future
generations. The forest areas of the
country can be reforested. 1t will
take time, but the sooner these steps
are taken the sooner the actual work
of reforestation will begin.
The conservation of the mineral
resources of the country, of its fuel
resources-these are matters of wide
spread interest. Doubtless the pres
ent day and generation will see
enough of natural products for it's
need-but what of the generations
to come? 1t is part of the duty of
statesmen and public men to see that
coming generations are not deprived
of their necessities through present
waste and carelessness.

: FoREsAW THE OBVIOUS.

The Usher Knew What tho Answer
Of His Charges Would Be.
'The temperance orator Of today" he
said, lis sure Of respectful hearing
In the past 1t was not so. At the be-
ginning Of the temperance movement
drinking men came to our meetings
for no other purpose than to interrupt
and confuse. The orator had to be
very careful in his remarks. He had
to look out lest he give his hearers an
opening for some opportune but ribald
interruption.
Il remember" he said, when they
began temperance work here in Wash
ington. A series Of meetings was held
in large hall. The audiences were
always numerous, but they interrupted
horribly. In the end an ex-prize fighter
was hired to sit every night in the OBJ
streperous gallery and keep order
there.
"Well, one night the orator contrast
ed the clean content Of home life with
the squalor Of drunkenness. He spoke
beautifully, and at his climax he cried
in ringing, impassioned tones:
"eWhat do we want when we return
from our daily toll? What do we de-
sire to ease our burdens, to gladden.
our hearts, to bring smiles to our faces
and song to our lipsY
Here the orator paused for effect.

toed hurriedly to the front of the gal
lery, shook his finger at his unruly
charges and said in threatening stage

THE STATE CAMPAIGN

Now that the convention at Minot
is over, we may expect that the pri-
mary campaign in the state will pro-
gress with more vim than ever. The
candidates for the several state Of
fees will be busy setting themselves
before the voters in the best light
possible, and until June "a at least
there will be politics and still more
politics.
The campaign up to the present
time has been largely incidental to
the election Of delegates to the con-
vention at Minot, the selection of a
national delegation to Chicago and
of national committeeman. That
being out of the way, we shall have
all the time devoted to the campaign
of the various candidates for state
office.
This is the first time we have had
a state primary and the workings of
the law are by no means certain and
definate. This is a big state, pretty
large geographically, and it is not
easy to reach all the voters, as some
Of the candidates have already learn
ed. To make speaking campaign
through the entire state requires
months of time and plenty of physi-
cal energy. 10 reach the voters
through circulars and printed mat
ter requires immense labor and no
small expenditure of time and money
There are about six weeks remain
ing before the primaries. BY getting
to work with renewed zest, we can
have good deal of politics in that
time and as much probobly as any
one desires and perhaps more than
is good for the Republican party in
the state. If our leaders permit
themselves to promote and take part
in a campaign that consists largely
in mudslinging and attacks upon each
other, the result, whatever it may
be, will not be good. It is to be hop
ed that good judgment will prevail
that we shall have as little bitterness
as possible, and that when the pri.
maries are over it will not be diff
cult to reunite the Republican fore
es for an effective campaign in the
fall
A state primary is not good for the
party that is in the majority. It is a
law that is apt to favor the minority
party, for the minority realizes that
it must stand together to have any
chance Of victory. The majority is
too apt to look only to the primaries
and not beyond them to the cleo
tion.

A WINDOW AND A WAR.
Costly Incident Of the Reign Of Louis
XIV. Of France.

XIV. Of France.
A terrible war was once caused by q
window.
It was in the days when Louis XIV,
lie Grand Monarque," was dazzling
Europe. His minister, Louvois, was
experimenting on the kings behalf
the building of the palace of the Tri.
anon in the park at Versailles. Louis
inspected the buildings one afternoon
and declared one Of the windows to be
out Of shape and smaller than the rest
This Louvois denied, and the king
had the window measured, with the
result that he was proved to be right,
and he openly before all the court ridi.
culed Louvois.
But the minister had his revenge,
for with the angry ejaculation that he
would find better employment for a
monarch than that Of insulting his ia.
vorites, he embroiled France by his
insolence in quarrel with the powers,
which only ended years later In the
peace Of Ryswick after a war which
entailed the loss Of many lives and the
expenditure Of large sums Of money

1t is a matter of fact that this is
the richest country. and has been,
that the world has ever seen, both in
natural resources and in genius and
intelligence to make the most of
these resources, but it is equally true
that the wealth of the country, so
far as natural resources go, is di-
minishing. Forests have been de-
stroyed wholesale, because of tenn
pory needs for lumber, and no steps
have been taken to .reforest the de-
nuded areas. The immense public
domain has passed largely into pri-
Vate ownership, and no more lands

1t appears that there were some
humorous features at the state con-
vention at Minot, and that a clerk
at one of the hotels to which Cong
ressman Marshall had applied for
a room, proposed to bunk the cong
ressman with Hon. M. N. Johnson of
Petersburg, at which suggestion Mr.
Marshall baked hastily and quite
naturally. Politics make strange bed
