Afraid of Ghosts

Many people are afraid of ghosts. Few people
are afraid of germs. Yet the ghost is a fancy and
the Germ is a fact. If the germ could be masnihed
TO a size equal to its terrors il would appear more
terrible than any fre-breathing dragon. Germs
can't be avoided. They are in the air we breathe,
the water we drink.
The germ can only prosper when the condition
of the system gives il free scope to establish it,
self and develop. When there is a deficiency of
vital force, laneuor, restlessness, a sallow check,
a hollow eve. when the appetite is poor and the

Especial Correspondence.l ]

Especial Correspondence
The weak spot in the grange and
grange work today, if there be one, is
the lack of appreciation among its
members and by the general public of
its great achievements and its greater
possibilities.
So great, so prominent and so entire
ly satisfying are its fraternal and So
cial features that the members often
look upon it as pleasure enterprise
and are content in knowing that they
are enrolled in one of the greatest If
not the greatest fraternal organizations
of the present time and accept the
pleasures of membership without Suffi-
cient thought as to what that men,
bership means, and thus also the pub
lie looks upon it from the same view
point This feeling is often intensi-
fed by the lecturer sent out by the
state grange, who in his desire to be
entertaining spends his effort in
pleasing or witty address, which,
pleasant to hear, does not fill the
minds of his hearers with knowl-
edge Of or a desire to advance the
great moral. intellectual and patriotic
principles for which the grange really
stands; hence the greatest weakness
Of the grange is in the program either
of the local lecturer or the state officer
or representative that 1t does not con-
tain enough solid matter, enough of
uplift, enough of what makes the
farmer greater student, a better
neighbor, more patriotic citizen.
Grange members should realize and
the public should know that no organ
ization has so written itself into the
best history Of our country as the
grange This should not be satisfying,
but an incentive to greater accomplish
ments which lie within the present
and future opportunities of our order.

Indeed a Fool Law.

One Of the most nonsenscal as we'll
as unjust laws on our statute book in
this state is the one permitting stock
to run at large between Dec. lst and
April lst, says the Langdon Rrepubli-
can, and it is hoped that the legislature
will take some steps to remedy the
evil. There isn't single excuse to
offer for man making his neighb ors
feed his stock all winter. 1t is an i'm
position pure and simple and it is a Won
der that any intelligent legislature
would enact law Of that kind. The
general suppo 'ition is that a mans
home is his castle and that he has a
right to enjoy it to suit himself, but
when herd Of his neighbor's cattle
call around to devour the feed put up
for his own cattle man doesn't stand
much of show and the enjoyment of
his home becomes rather strenuous
affair. --Towner County Democrat.

The state supreme court handed down
it's decision last Saturday holding for in
creased jurisdiction Of the county court
of Ward county. The case had its origin
when Judge Davis demanded Of the
county some Sc, 300 as back salary claim
ed by him under legislative enactment,
of 1905. The states attorney claimed
that Judge Davis was not entitled to
this salary under increased jurisdiction,
and of course the matter was trotted
through the courts, with the result that
the judge won out. in the matter of in
creased jurisdiction, that matter having
been settled by the vote on the question
in 1904, when it carried by small ma
jorlty, but the court decides bare ma
jority was sufficient to establish the

and passed without delay. One. thing
has occurred to me and that is that the
homesteaders ought to be permitted to
make showing as to whether the coal
underlying the land is Of commercial
value or not. and in cases where it is
not they should have an ordinary patent.
: Furthermore, a man having filed in
nocently on the land should not be COM
PEELED to accept a title to the surface
unless he was satisfied to do 30, and
some provision ought to be made to
compensate him for any loses. This,
however, will be long, slow process,
and the outcome of which would be
doubtful. In the event Of a home
steader being given a patent to the
surface with the underlying coal re-
SERVED by the government, ample pro-
vision should be made, either in the law
or rules and regulations of the Interior
Department, governing the manner in
which people shall be permitted TO
prospect for and mine coal. and COM

all damages. These are all things that
will have to be taken into considers

MR.. MARSHALL EXPLAINS
Ills Bill for the Relief of Settlers Whose
nomesteads Have Been found to
be underlaid With Coal.

=. The following letter received by and
published in the Flaxton Times of last
week cannot fail to satisfy any unpre-
JUDGED mind that the efforts Of Con-
gressman Marshall for relief of settlers
who have homesteaded what are now
said to be coal lands, are directed
Alright and in the sole interest of those
for whom he is trying to secure relief:
House of Representatives,
Washington, D. c.. Dec q, '03. {
Mr.. Paul S. Ware, Flaxton, N. D.
Dear Sir:-I haye before me copy
of your paper dated December 25, and
note your article headed ''Marshalrs
mistake" Now, you have altogether a
wrong notion of what I am trying to do.
To begin with am simply trying to get
some sort of relief for the small per
cent. of people, I think two or three
per cent, whose homesteads have been
found, as result of an examination by
a coal inspector, to have coal underlying
them. For more than year haye
devoted a good deal of work toward
securing an adequate number of coal
inspectors to make personal examine
tions of homesteads which are within
the lands that were designated by the
geological survey as probably contain
ing coal. AS result of my efforts, in
part at, least, five men were assigned
to North Dakota and spent the greater
part of the season in examining these
lands and the examinations are practi-
cally up to date. And partially as a
result Of my efforts man has been de-
sipnated to give all his time in North
Dakota making these examinations so
that these people whose homesteads
are within the boundaries of the segre-
gated lands will not suffer materially
now. as their lands have been examined,
except in. cases where coal was found
to underly the homestead, and these
are the people, as said before, about;
two or three per cent, that we are try
ing to relieve. q All Ia. % s;E
Under the law as it stsnds today the
homesteads would have to be cancelled
and the homesteader would lose all his
time and improvements. which would:
certainly bea serious hardship. Alto
gether this Il is a very complicated sub
ject but my idea is that some legislation
should be passed to relieve these people,
