EDUCATION IN AGRICULTURE.

The splendid exhibits of grain from
all parts Of the state that were en-
tered in the competition started by
the state department of agriculture
and labor, through Commissioner Gil
breath, prove that North Dakota has
raised more good crops this year in
all parts of the state and that while
shere are some bad spots, as there
ere in all states, there will be a vast
amount of various kinds of grain
shipped out of North Dakota this
year. Wheat of half a dozen vari-
setaEs, oats, flax, speltz, barley, rye,
corn, and an abundance of fodder
stuff abound in the exhibits Of the
competition. Some of the most re-
markable samples are those Of clover
and other tame grasses, the raising
of which is new in the state. Red
clover has been exhibited to rival
that of any old eastern state, and
bronze and other grasses go to make
an excellent showing of .nutritive
grasses that yield heavily.
There is no more nutritious grass
In the world than the native buffalo
or bunch" grass, but from It's wild
nature and the lack of cultivation, II
does not yield heavily. The time Is
coming when acres must be made to
produce all that is possible, and we
have wondered why some experiments
were not made with the seed OF this
native grass, subjecting it to higher
cultivation and moisture, with a view
of ascertaining whether the yield o
1T cannot be perceptibly increased. !

BRYAN AND HUGHES.

It appears that we are to have two
of the leading opponents of political
principles in the state this year. Mr..
Bryan will make an address at Grand
Forks, so we are told, and Governor
Hughes of New York will speak in
Fargo. We nave heard Mr.. Bryan be-
fore, both in political and non-politi-
cal addresses, and from the addresses
he is making this year, he has not
much new to tell us. His letter of
acceptance and his addresses are a
skillful weaving of platitudes and a
sort of platform revival of the ten
commandments, with which we have
all been familiar for many years. The
basis of abstract morals is pretty clear
and well defined, although much po-
litical capital has been made in the
past few years by dwelling upon it
from the stump.
Mr.. Hughes is a new figure in poll
tics, and an important figure. He is
leader who achieves things in the
name of reform and who arouses the
conscience of the people to concrete
expression, as in the New York anti
gambling bill. Yet ON the other hand,
he is not demagogue, and he vetoed
two cent fare bill passed by the leg
isIature of the state of New York
for the reason that it was passed
without knowledge on the part of the
legislature as to the cost of railroad
transportation in this particular, and
in response to public clamor rather
than to an established proof of wis
dom. Mr.. Hughes is the clear, calm
judicial, logical and undemagogic
force in politics-who seeks not tt
attract by specious rhetoric, but tx
convince by solid argument and mar
shalling of truths. And If we heal
Mr.. Hughes in this campaign, we be
lieve he will have something to say
4 to US that will be worth going some
distance to hear. y,

CREAMERY PROMOTER.

Assistant Dairy Commissioner r. F.
Flint is advising farmers and rails
ers of cows in various parts of the
state to look with care upon the
building propositions furthered by
creamery promoters" and advises
them in all cases to call a public
meeting for the discussion of building
projects, at which meeting the state
dairy commissioner will attend where.
ever possible. It is entirely natural
that promoters of creameries should
be a little more than anxious to OBJ
tain the cooperation of farmers in a
building proposition, and the payment
Of their money for creamery machin-
cry and the other incidentals OF a
plant. Not infrequently farmers pay
for this material and machinery a
considerable sum more than it i. is
worth, all of which goes into the pock-
ct of the promoter. There is an in
deiniteness, too, about the contract,
about the kind of machinery. that is
installed, and other details Of the
whole matter, and this is apt to re.
| suit in embarrassment to the sub
! scribers, who may find themselves aft
| er the creamery is built with such a
plant as they do not want, purchased
| at too high a price The state dairy
commissioner has had much expert
ence in this line of work, and is al
ways glad to give the people of the
state the benefit of his experience,
when they contemplate building
creameries. He has both a practical
and theoretical knowledge of the
| whole business, and it would seem
that the part of wisdom on the part
of farmers would be to inform them
selves thoroughly before they sign the
| contract of a creamery promoter, who
has no interest in the matter beyond
| the sale of creamery supplies and ma.
chinery in the making Of a good profit
| for himself in the transaction Gsa

MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
Newspapers AND LIBEL SUITS.

The Fargo Forum has been sued
again for libel-making total sum
of S12,500 now demanded in damages
from the Forum. This sum would
knock the profits entirely off the ay-
erage newspaper business in the state
for several months and would obvious
Ivy reduce dividends perceptibly. LII
bel suits are not very often brought
against Newspapers and when they
are brought very seldom net their
bringers any such sum as demanded
in the first instance. Newspapers,
particularly in the publication of news
items, are dependent upon the iudg-
ment and yeracity of correspondent
And when one newspaper reprints an
item from another it assumes this
responsibility for the truth of the
statements made. Newspapers do not
often deliberately ''coIor' news items
to the detriment of persons affected
in the news. Not infrequently they
do injustices, which they are as will
ing to correct as they are likely to
make. No human institution is infal-
afbIe.
Persons have an entire right to sue
for damages for deliberate pub1ica'
ton, made with the intention OF doing
Injustice to any person. They have
a right to sue for damages, where
the injustice is done without inten
:. ton, when the newspaper refuses OF
negiects to make amends. But juries
do not often award heavy damages
where a publication Is made through
error and without malice, and where
any injustice is thereafter corrected
and all the amends made that are pos
sible. We do not recall any heav,
: damages awarded in any libel suit
in this state or in any other state
Juries generally take into considera
ton the fact that newspapers canno
always safeguard against error, AMI
aggrieyed persons are seldom injure,
by a newspaper publication as .mucl
as they think they are when Their

from Lisbon, is said to be fine or
ganization. It played at guard mount
tonight and wed with Montana for
the camp honors.
It is quite improbable that Governor
John Burke Of North Dakota will
come west to inspect the guard. Gov
ernor Burke is democratic execu-
tive in a commonwealth nominally re-
publican and is said to be absorbed
in campaign for reelection.
The informal inspection by Briga-
der General Brush when the guard
departs will be the only approach to
formality during its stay here.
