THE WEST FLORIDA coNTRoVER.
SY

Judge Reeves has made a PROPOSE
ton in connection with the candidacy
of the two west Florida men for the
senatorship, that appears to be both
sensible, and in the line of justice TO
west Florida.
1t is that a primary be held in west
Florida to decide between Judge
| Reeves and Judge BlOunt as 10 who
shall enter the democratic primary as
| the candidate from this portion of the
state Both parties to share equally
the expense of the primary.
This appeals to the Pilot TO be emf
nently fair, and it would place this
section in much more favorable posi-
ton in the final campaign, and quite
possibly give this portion of the state
that political recognition and standing
that it is entitled to.
Without the elimination of one of
the west Florida candidates there is
but little possibility of it even having
candidate in the second primary. a
divided house cannot stand, nor divid,
ed political parties win out, particu
larly when opposed by parties already
holding the reins of pOwer.-Panama
City Pilot.
We are forced to take issue with
Brother West on several points. In
the first place, this senatorial contest
is not confined to west Florida, but
the state at large. Then, again,
there are no provisions for any such
primary. Even if there was, we would
not consider it wise procedure, in
that it would be sure to engender
strife with a tendency to divide rath-
er than cement the west Florida votes
in the final contest,
Both candidates are good men, and
either would do credit to the state if
elected. In our opinion nothing would
come nearer defeating the chance OF
a west Florida man than the suggest
ed preliminary primary.
Since the above was put in type we
see by the Pensacola Journal of Tues
day Mr.. Blount's lengthy reply to
Judge Reeves, declining to entertain
that gentleman's proposition, giving
as some of his reasons pretty much
the gist of our objections as set forth |
above Mr.. Blount will continue in |
the race as per first intentions, as also |
we suppose, will Judge Reeves

far behind eastern cities in this par
ticular mode of making their streets
more attractive. He wants ChicagO's
civic motto, Urbs in Hortu-"a city

instead of an empty phrase reserved
for seals and banners. In the course
of an active campaign for extensive
reforestation, he has issued a pamph-
let giving the following excellent rea-
sons why trees should be planted and
cherished in cities no less than in the
country:
Trees are beautiful in form and col

of nature.
Trees enhance the beauty of archi-
lecture.
Trees create sentiment, love of
country, state. city and home.
Trees have an educational influence
upon citizens of all ages, especially
children.
Trees encourage outdoor life.
Trees purify the air.
Trees cool the air in summer and
radiate warmth in winter.
Trees improve climate and con
serve soil and moisture.
Trees furnish resting places and
shelter for birds.
Trees increase the value of real es-
tate.
Trees protect the pavement from
the heat of the sun.

Emmons County record., 1909-11-25


This is the day set apart by the
president Of the United States and
the governor of North Dakota for
giving thanks to the Creator of the
universe for the many blessings that
have come during the past twelve
month to the people Of state and ma
tion. And surely we who reside in
this commonwealth have cause to re-
joice and be thankful. On every
hand, throughout our large area,
there is evidence of prosperity.
Here in Emmons county, as in the
other counties of North Dakota, the
year has added materially to the
means of procuring the comforts
and conveniences of life. Notwith-
standing the fact that many people
during the year, as in preceding
years. have left for regions farther
west, some filled with the desire to
procure free homesteads in Canada,
almost without exception they have
departed in good financial circum-
stances, due to accumulations of
property made here. In all new
states there is constant coming and
going, but those coming are gener-
ally in the proportion of three to
one in comparison with those who
depart.
The crop this year was good one,
and satisfactory prices for farm pro-
duce prevail, which in state al
most exclusively agricultural is the
bedrock foundation of prosperity.
And the best of it all is that those
who have given most thought to the
subject are satisfied that never
again will the prices of farm prod
ucts reach the low level which pre-
vailed in many bygone years. The
fact that the urban population is
growing much faster than that of
the rural communities gives cause
to believe the assertions Of men like
James j. Hill that the time will
come within a few years when the
United states Will require all of
their grain and other crops for the
feeding Of their own people and the
fattenlng Of their food animals. 1t
Is unnecessary to say that when that
time arrives the man who owns a
farm will have little to fear from
the changes and vicissitudes of life.
| On sucha day as this it is we'll for
the pioneers to compare the condi-
tlons existing here at present with
those that prevailed in the early
| days. Living from thirty to sixty
miles from market, the settlers were
comeplled to haul their wheat that
distance, and then, sometimes. dis
pose OF 1t at a price as low, or lit
tile lower, than forty cents a bushel
1T took good part of the fall. when
the farmers pLOws should have been

the early settlers who staid here
have done well. with the great draw
backs surrounding them. and almost
without exception beginning life in
the new home with only q few dol
lars Of capital. or none at all. shows
the possibilities Of this region when.
as at present. there are but q few
parts Of Emmons where the farmers
have to haul considerable distance
to market.
The people Of our lively little town
of Linton also have many things for
which they should be thankful. The
village is prettily situated in the
valley Of the Beaver. where in sum-
mer time the green foliage along its
banks is beautiful to the eye and
soothing to the spirit. Its princi-
pal business street is wide and well
drained, and, thanks to its having
the best building stone in the state
procurable near by. it is becoming
more and more each year an avenue
Of substantial structures and one of
the most attractive business streets
to be found in any village in the
state. The town is the center Of q
large area from which the farming
population come here to market
their produce and procure their sup
plies. 1t has several general stores,
at which goods can be purchased at
reasonable prices. and all of such
stores are doing a good business.
In fact, year by year the convenien-
ces to be found in older towns are
becoming more pentiful, and rapid.
ly Linton is growing from vii
lage into a city. There are several
churches and fraternal societies,
with good schools in charge of faith
full and competent instructors, and
in everything a spirit of progress is
manifested on the part Of the inhab-
itants. When we compare this
condition with that of a few years
ago surely the people of Linton have
cause to be thankful.
Those of US who are old enough to
remember the time when the present
prosperous state Of North Dakota
was included on the map as part
of THE Great American Desert
should be thankful that they have
lived to see the New Northwest
come into its own, and establish it.
self as the home of the most pros
porous people in the Union. And,
when we say 1.-The most prosperous, .
we do it with a knowledge that the
per capita of wealth is greater and
the percentage of needy poor is less
in this region than in any other part
of our country according to the cen
sus figures of the federal govern
ment.
Really, gentle reader. is it not a
fact that. more than the people of
most sections Of America, the dwell.
ers in this region have cause to be
thankful?
