that we imagine every good citizen
Of every party and every well dis
posed person In all the world will
subscribe to, heartily, but it Is con-
siderably less specific than our
friends Of the prohibition party have
usually been willing to accept as a
pledge Of party faith. There is anoth-
er plank favoring a constitutional
amendment that would overcome the
objection to the creation of an office
like that of temperance commission
er, but it is modestly stated and
In such general terms that those
voters not having it specially called
to their attention would not observe
any special significance in it. 1t says
that the party favors an amendment
giving the legislative assembly power
to create officers to enforce estate
laws better in all parts of the state.
1t would have been very easy here to
have stated that it was desired to
have these officers better to enforce
the prohibition law, but in some
way the word prohibition" has been
specially avoided all through the
democratic platform. 1t cannot be
that our friends of the democratic
party are ashamed Of the prohibition
law, and hesitate to declare specifi-
cally for its enforcement. And it
cannot be, surely, that the party
would straddle or avoid this all in
teresting question. To the general
observer it will seem that the demo
cratic party has carefully tagged
around the subject of prohibition and
the maintenance and enforcement of
the anti-liquor law. Now, suppose
the democratic party had adopted
some such platform as this: r., .
We favor the maintenance and
4 enforcement of the prohibition
law of this state, and we pledge
ourselves to support a constitu-
tional amendment that will ad-
NIT the creation of the office of
state temperance commissioner,
whose duty it will be to enforce
the prohibition law in all coun- IT,
ties in this state. 5.s - -. <.
This would have been a plain and
specific declaration, but it might not
have accorded with some of the dis
cussions of the. democratic leaders
as to chow to break into the German
vote" And we do not think, the Ger
man vote is made of the kind of stuff
that will be. caught with any such
chaff as the democratic platforms
declarations that say much without
saying much-about prohibition. The
Germans of this state are solid, sub
stantial, thrifty and prosperous citi-
zens, law abiding, and commended with
the Industrial advantages they have
been afforded under republican poll
cies. Prohibition, being one Of the
all important issues in North aDako-
ia, we are surprised that the word
does not once occur in the democra-
tic platform. e>4s. ~.

A PIONEER FARMER.

! The death Of Oliver Dalrymple is
especially worthy of note as a mat
ter of general state and historical
interest in North Dakota Mr.. Dali
rymple was a pioneer in farming in
North Dakota, or rather in the terri
tory that afterward became North Da-
kota.. Mr.. Dalrymple with his
brother for many years operated a
farm of 10000 acres in Cass county,
said to be the largest wheat farm
under one ownership in the world.
He was Minnesota farmer as early
as 1866, only year after the close
Of the civil war. "
1t was in 1875 that Mr.. DalrympIe
| turned his attention to Dakota. That
was the year that the Northern Pa
Ecific railroad was extended to Bis
marck and before there was either
railroad or dwelling between Fargo
and Bismarck In that year and the
year following, Mr.. Dalrymple bought
from the Northern Pacific and from.
the government $4,000 acres of land
in the Red River valley A part of
this he acquired for himself, and of
the other portion he owned half and
the remainder was taken by Gen. G..
W. Glass;. of New York, president of
the Northern Pacific road: B.. P.eChe-
ney, of Boston, and J. l.. and Il. B.
Grandin. of Pennsylvania. The lands
were paid for in Indian scrip and
railroad stock at par, and in that
way cost from 40 cents to So an acre.
The land in the Red River valley
was not generally believed at that
time to have; any particular agricu1-
tural value. Mr.. Da1rymple- has said
that in the spring of 1876 large por-
ton of his farming property was un-
| der water and ON a windy day the
Whitecaps rolled across the broad ex-
panse with sufficient force to swamp
a small boat. ~ G
But J. L. Grandin and Mr.. DaIrym-
pie both were convinced even then Of
the value of the rich black soil of
the Red River valley for agricultural
purposes, and Mr.. Dalrymple said
then that the land was worth s25 an
acre whether the country surround
ing It should ever become settled or
not. 4.
In 1876 Mr.. Dalrmple began his
farming operations and for ave years
he broke and put under the pillow
5000 acres each year, Practically all
Of the 30, 900 acres was put into wheat
and farm buildings were erected at
different points. OF this farm Mr..
Dalrymple owned three-quarters and
he was the general manager. This
was the original 'sbonanza farm,
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1908-09-06

the beginning Of the farming Of
wheat on wholesale scale and the
foundation Of the world wide fame Of
the Red River valley as wheat pro
ducing section. c, N 6
One of the great sources Of Mr..
Dalrymple's success was in his ability
for organization. The big farm was
operated in divisions Of $500 acres,
each supervised by mounted fore
man with a superintendent for each
six divisions. Every division was
equipped with its own buildings,
teams and machinery, and was con-
nected with the headquarters BY tele-
phone. The executive office was con-
nected with the telegraph office at
the railroad station. rrr.
Although the land in this section is
so level as to require much less ma
chinery and power to operate it than
the ordinary farm, there, were $50
gang plows, 70 gang drills, $50 self
binding harvesters and - extra large
steam threshing outfits In the busy
season 500 to 600 men were employed
and 600 horses were owned on the
farm. The IL threshers each, turned
out 1000 to $500 bushels Of wheat
a day, and throughout the threshing
season the. farm shipped two train
loads of wheat a day.
The Dalrymp1e brothers gradually
reduced the magnitude. Of their oper-
lions and sold portions of their land.
W. F. Dalrymple died several years
ago and since that time his brother
Oliver has still further reduced his
holdings, until last year he had but
1900 acres in the Red River valley.
OF this, 10000 acres is near Cassel-
ton and 5000 acres near Hillsboro.
Not all of this is sown to- weat
now, as crop rotation is practiced to
some extent.
The land in the Red River valley is
all under cultivation now, and it is
valued at. an average of $25 an acre.

TheLumber Tariff and Our Forests

Mr.. Roosevelt declines TO assert him
self about tariff revision, on the ground
that it's Mr.. Taft's job. Mr.. Taft in
dicates plainly that he is for genuine
revision. and doesn't like present tend
encies of things. Bat Mr.. Taft, how
ever willing he might be to do some
thing for revision, isn't President yet.
And there's the rub.
From all parts of the country pro-
test is raising, in daily increasing vol
ume, against the apparent purpose of
the Ways and Means Committee to do
as little revising as possible. The i'm
preston has got to the country that
Mr. Payne's committee has in mind to
rewrite the DingIey act into a new
form, to talk considerably about scien-
tific adjustment, to toss some sops to
public opinion by reducing a few duties
where it will not make the slightest
difference. and then to pass the measure.
II is time that people in charge of the
matter should give ear TO the warnings
room to doubt, from the tenor of the
Investigations thus far, that the House
committee means to revise with its fin
gers crossed. The country has made up
its mind that that is Just what is do
ing, and ii Is feeling daily less cheerful
about the prospect.
The determined fight Of the lumber
interests TO save their duties intact, to-
gether with the circumstantial report
that the arrangement was made in ad-
vance by which the big lumber people
were to be assured good treatment, have
caused special bitterness in the middle
West. The West has been for free
lumber for years. 1t must have lumber,
and it can't 60 on paying the advancing
prices. The West takes some stock in
the forest reserve and preserva ton
movement; and it wonders why OH
earth the Government should spend
millions trying to save or restore the
forests, while at the same time it ac-
tuslly pays a premium to the interests
that are destroying the forests as fast
as they can 1t is utterly inconsistent
and illogical. If we are so anxious to
have the land denuded of its forests,
what's the sense in paying out money
TO have reserves? Or, if we want for
ssts restored, why not let lumber come
IN free. and thus save some Of them?

North Carolina Noses in the Air.

Some people would rather hold their
noses in the air than step over a mud
puddle.
When the child labor bill was under
discussion in the Senate, one State after
another would rise to protest vigor-
ousIy against the disclosures Of condi-
tions at home. The ground taken was
not that il was determined TO wipe out
the abuses, but that the abuses did not
exist. Everybody else knew of the
pinched bodies, the murdered children.
the widespreading of tuberculosis in
these child-manned factories. But the
statesmen indicated thought it a part
of their duty to deny these conditions
rather than jump at the chance to cor
rect them.
Down in North Carolina the same
ruddin headed operation Is on. The
President has country life commits
sion. in connection with the work of
that commission an official of the Agri-
cultural Department makes the state
ment that the children of the State
present a peculiar medical problem in
being anaemic, aid that prevailing sani-
tary conditions o. home and workshop
are the cause.
One would think that citizens. edi.
tors, and officials of Government would
take the proposition seriously enough
20 set about a thorough investigation.
The Department of Agriculture is a re-.
sponsibIe Institution. It's scientists are
not takers If by their testimony such
condition exists, the State owes it to
itself, to the present generation, and
to the children of the future to cor
rect it.
But citizens. certain newspapers, and
governor take quite another tack. They
know all about the health OF the State
already. They know the children are
not anaemic, though there are abso-
lurely no statistics on the subject save
the data gathered by the National De
partment of Agriculture. They would
sll rather slip and fall in the mud than
look down to see If it is there.
Americans as a class are hard headed.
They want to know In North Caro-
lima they viii want to know, too. Gov
ernor Glenn and the Raleigh News and
Observer may make the more noise.
But they will not lead the larger com
pany- Independent papers are already
refusing 10 follow them. Let some
bouy prove the finding of the scientist
wrong before he is assaulted, say these
publications. The Progressive Farmer
goes SO far as to pronounce the dag
nosis quite correct. and doctors are arts
ing to give it the support of their per
sonal observation. When the truth.
whatever it is, is out in this case, then
