Urged To Spray

The following letter from Director
Stewart of the Experiment Station, 10
published besause we regard his sug-
gestien as highly proper and timely.
1t is not enough to spray If your or
cbard has scale, but as preventive.
Then it may be just getting footing,
In which event spraying would be
most beneficial:
March %, 1908
Hon. j J. Cornwel!,
Romney, w. Va,
Dear Sir:-Don't you think 1t would
be good idea for your paper to urge
the owners of fruit trees in Hampshire
county to spray if they have not al
ready done so. Where the trees have
been examined and where scale was
found the owners were notified. IT. Is
to their interest and to the benefit OF
the community that every reasonable
effort should be made to destroy az
many of the scale insects as possible.
The great fruit industry and poss bill
ties of Your county warrant the expec-
tation that every owner of tree would
do this.
We will take up the peach yellows
inspection again during the summer
and push it forward as vigorously as
possible,
With best regards, am,
Yours truly,
J. H. Stewart.

Laureas j. Wehe, of Edmore is an
nounced this week as a candidate for
the Office of States Attorney for Ram
sey county subject to the republican
primaries In connection with his an
nouncement we wish the state that
Mr.. Wehe is well and favorably known
In this county having lived in this
vicinity since coming here with his
parents in 1882. In 1889 Mr.. Wehe
graduated from the States University
with the degree of B. A. and from the
State Law School with the degree of
L. L. B. In 1902 he was admitted to .he
bar of this state and was admitted to
practice before the u. S. District and
Circuit courts in 1904. He practiced
law at Grand Forks for one year and
then moved to Edmore in 1903. He
is bright attorney, allowing nothing
to stand between him and his duty,
There is no question as to Mr.. Wehe's
qualifications to properly administer
the affairs of the Office If elected, and
we bespeak for him a liberal vote at
the primaries.

Mann G. Sons. F. P. Mann the adver-
Using manager of this popular depart
ment store, shows that he has made
a study of his business and adopts the
method of the large city stores. When
the business began to fall off, instead
of decreasing his advertising he in
creased it. Specials that appealed to
the people were brought out and the
bulk of the business was thus drawn
to their store with the result that the
decrease that was felt in some store
was not noticeable with them. If
there is ever a time when you should
advertise it is when you need the bust
ness and also when the people have
the time to read. This fact has prob
ably been learned by Mr.. Mann and
probably has had much to do with the
miraculous prosperity of the Mann
store in Devils Lake.

assiaIer atIon Dy Dur PEI plie.s There seems
to be at5#this time, three candidates In
the field, our present mayorrMr. Whit
man, Mr.. Burgess who are republican
aspirants and Mr.. V. Gramm, on the
socialist ticket. The main contest ap-
parentlys iis between the former, they
both being republicans and the repub-
lican party being decidedly in the
majority sin the city.
The proposition, then seems TO be
up to the people of Devils Lake to
decide whether or not Mr.. Whitman
shall have another term or whether
we shall make change at this time
and elect Mr.. Burgess While the
candidates both have excellent quail
fications for the office to which they
aspire still it would seem to US that
we would make a very grave mistake if
we did not again return Mr.. Whitman
to this position. Our reason for this
is not through any enmity toward Mr..
Burgess, but because we think that
under existing circumstances Mr..
Whitman is in a position to give bet
! ter service to Devils Lake than is
his opponent
We would not minimize Mr. Burgess
capabilities but it must be taken into
consideration that Devils Lake is grow.
| ing very rapidly, we are fast passing
from a town to a city, much improve
ment has been done during the past
year and much more is planned for the
coming season. 1t must also be taken
into consideration that the time for
making public improvements is short
owing the shortness of the time that
we have in which such work can be
done. Then in this connection II ia
only necessary to call your attention
to the fact taht Mr.. Burgess practical
ly knows nothing of the past years
work and less about that planned
for this, and that Mr.. Whitman, not
only knows but personally supervised
large part of the work of the past
year and is thoroughly acquainted
with every detail of the proposed work.
. This makes clear which is the better
able to look after the city's interest and
: get the best results at the least ex-
pense.
I IN matters Of this kind it is to Of
ten the case that people are led from
the real point at issue by persons who
nave personal grievances to settle.
Ihls should not be. Think first of
your city and how best to advance it's
interests and you will not go far wrong
on this proposition.

we have the pleasure Of printing
among our announcements this week
that OF Mr.. Frank Emigh, who aspires
to the Office of county commissioner
for District No. l, to succeed Commits
sloner Gus. Fursteneau who is not a
candidate for reelection. Mr.. Emigh
is a fitting candidate to succeed Mr.
Fursteneau. He is well known
throughout the district, where he is
universally favored. There Is at this
time no opposition to the candidacy
OF Mr.. Emigh, and it is the oninion
universally that there will be none.
Frank is good man for the place and
IT would take mighty good man to
oppose him.

AS a criterion of the comparative
strength of the various republican

quote the following which is the stand

have partially selected delegates ito
their conventions up to now: The! to.
tai representation of these states is
308 out of which number 148 delegates
have been selected, of which number
11e are instructed for Taft. Six sun-

A NEW PARTY.

All sorts of innovations may be ex-
pected In this year of National politics
and not the least likely is the launch
Ing OF new party under the name of
The Independence League" headed
by VIM. Randolph Hearst. Mr.. Hearst
is young man imbued with a goodly
amount Of brains and larger amount
of money. He likes the political game
and is one of the kind that if he at
tempts thing he will play it to the
finish. The Independence League ia
the outgrowth of the same organiza-
ZION which, under the leadership of
MT Hearst has cut considerable figure
In New York politics, and it is now
surm1sed that it is to be made national.
1t is thought that Mr.. Hearst will
wait until after the Chicago and Den
yer conventions and then jump into
the field with his money and his news
papers and attract votes from both
the present parties. OF course the
candidate will be W. R. Hearst. he ia
practically the whole party. His per.
sonality is all there is in it and with
out him there would be no party.
The result is an uncertainty A.
this time when many of the popula,
lion of the United States are unsettled
politically they are prone to FOLLOW
any thing that is new and freakish.
History tells of wonderful changes
wrought by third parties. Harrison
was defeated in 1892 because a mil.
lion votes went for Weaver. A split
- the democratic party in. 1860 elect.
go Lincoln. The Liberty party prob.
ably defeated Clay in 1874. And the
question is what will Hearst do in
1908? -. S...s W. "
ss5| Mr.. Hearst has always been a demo-
; ;es. He proved himself a vote getter
II: ~ New York. -Four years ago he was
candidate for democratic president
, lal nomination and his followers made
more MOI noise at st. Louis than any other
f ta!ss rooters, but the cards were
stacked against him. Il is safe .to.say
that That Mr.. Hearst being a democrat he
VEIL draw more strength from that
party and If he is not properly handl-
