THE Huronite and the Argus-Leader
are advising the so called stalwarts to
organize for the campaign next year
with Kittredge as their leader. This
means that they intend to put up a
factional fight. These same papers
have predicted that another factional
fight would give the state to the demo
Gratis, but it seems they prefer demo-
cratic victory to republican victory
unless certain few can be the re-
publican party. In other words, they
are republicans if they can have the

BACK FROM THE OLD COUNTRY.

Gust Dahl arrived home last Thurs
day evening from spending the win
ter with his aged mother and amid
the scenes of his early life in Sweden
1t was thirty-oue years since he left
there and age had SO crept upon his
own kin that he did not recognize any
of them as the friends of early days.
While he enjoyed making the acquain-
tance of the near ones over again and
the sights SO different from America,
he said he could not think of living
there any length of time and is as
pleased to get back as he was to go
last fall He says from all appear
ances people are forced to work hard
er and wear out quicker, with far less
comfort than taken by the average in
divduaI here. x x Mr.. and Mrs.
Andrew Nelson returned last Mon
day from spending the winter at the
old home in Denm.rk While they
enjoyed the visit, that country was
not as attractive to them as they inn
agined it would be. Before selling
off their movables last fall they re-
sided out on rural route No. 2 but
are little undecided now as TO where
they will locate A nephew came
over with them from the old country.

before another body of the legislature
undertakes to tell the editors of the

ALFALFA.

Why are Dakota farmers so slow in
introducing alfalfa to their fields
Probably il is largely because there
is such an abundance of native prairie
grass on the land held by spectators.
But the native prairie grass of Beadle
county is mostly bluestem, which does
not make very nutritious hay.
The arguments for alfalfa are
numerous; the arguments against it
are nil. Alfalfa hay is worth almost
as much, pound for pound, as bran
1t will yield here in Beadle county
from three to five tons to the acre each
year. 1t requires to be sown but once,
after which the only labor or expense
is in harvesting the successive crops.
Being exceedingly rich in protein,
alfalfa forms with corn an almost
ideally balanced TO ion for fattening
beef. In Montana great numbers of
steers are fattened every year on alfal-
ia hay without grain, In Colorado
and idaho the fattening of lambs on
alfalfa hay is business of large pro-
portions. For cots. horses, calves
and milk COWS it is superb Hogs and
poultry relish bright alfalfa hay in
the winter.
And, beyond all these superlative
excellencies, is The fact that alfalfa
actually, year after year, adds an ele-
ment of richness TO the soil out of
which it draws so much wealth.
How can this be? Every reading
farmer knows that on the roots of the
alfalfa plant occur nodules (literally,
little knots) which are he home of a
variety of bacillus whose life mission
is to extract from the plant certain
form of nitrogen. which the plant in
it's turn takes from the unlimited
supplies of nitrogen in the air.
This nitrogen collected in the
nodues at the root adds TO the rich
ness of the soil, SO that after a field
has been in alfalfa for a period of
years and is then replowed and plant
ed to corn there is a wonderful in
crease in fertility noticeable, which is
due to the busy little microbe that
has been enriching the field while the
owner slept.
Of course the benevolent creatures
do no restore all the elements Of fer
tility that the crops take out, but they
do restore the nitrogen, which is
among the first exhausted in any soil.
And if the farmer is wise and enter
prising enough to feed his alfalfa to
his stock, aud to return the manure to
the fields his labor will not only add
to his own bank account and to the
wealth of the country, but his very
acres themselves will grow richer
year by year because of this benign
power of the alfalfa plant and its
microscopically underground
When farmers will overlook so long

ONE thing we must credit to the
courts as a result of the ever recurring
scrap over jurisdiction, which is the
sentiment rapidly growing among the
people to the effect that the only way
to secure actual railroad regulation is
through national laws. Congress
must take this matter'up, and it will
take it up in the near future because
the sentiment of the people will force
it to such action.

SOME of the papers 'fernnst" the
administration are claiming extrava-
gance on the part of the Legislature.
Now, wouldn't it be well to specify in
what particular the legislature was
extravagant. They talk about the
state running into debt, but do not
tell us where they would like to have
the axe applied to the appropriation
bill What would they cut out of the
appropriations to make it right?

THE late session of the Legislature
passed a bill prohibiting saloon
within, TWO and one-half mile of dry
town. This law was passed for the
purpose of preventing a township
from issuing license to operates sa-
loon near the limits of some town in
that or another township which had
voted again: license. This virtually
abridges the right of local option. 1t
gives town or city the right to de
clore for itself upon the license ques-
tion, and also to declare for almost
the entire township in which it may
be located, thus taking from one evil
organization and giving to another.

REV. FRANKLIN BAKER.
Former Norfolk Pastor Delivers Elk
Memorial Address in Portland.


At the annual memorial service of
the Elks lodge in Portland, Ore, Rev.
Franklin Baker, formerly of Norfolk,
delivered the memorial address.
A Portland paper reports his ad-
dress as follows:
In his address DR.. Baker dwelt upon
the significance of the terms "benev-
client" and protective" He said that
more than 100000 men, all who are
members of the Elks, were gathered
together to do honor to their dead.
He also remarked that during the last
year $4,000 men have joined the order.
More than 5000, he said, have passed
to the great beyond. He said he be-
lieved he was safe in saying that the
world was 5000 times better because
those 5000 members had lived. The
organization is now in it's 10th year.
ne said the order has given to the
United States 1851 900, besides the
amount spent in assisting members.
The speaker continued:
When the word protective was
placed in the name of our order, it
was placed there with its full mean
ing. II means protection, first of all
to that shrine before which all Elk
dom bows. 1t means the protection
of home, the protection of every soul
that makes that home, be it the babe
that is rocked in the cradle, or the
grandmother who sits knitting 1t
means the protection of country.
Friends, the man who belongs to the
Elks, who is not a fellowcitizen be-
cause he is an Elk, has failed to attend
to part of his duty. BY protection
we mean a square deal, with all four
corners square.
SO this afternoon, mother we come
to you first You were our first friend
We are the sons of mothers. There is
no other chord in our hearts that vi
brates so tenderly as that which is
touched by that sacred word. If from
your life has gone a son, We come to
you this great body of men, to pro-
tect you, mother, as he who is not
here would do. On the manhood of
an Elk pledge to you that so long as
an Elk walks the earth, he will pro-
tect you, though 1t takes his life.
Sister, you are dear to us. We love
a pure woman as only pure men know
how, because We were taught that our
mothers were pure. II you have lost
