Democratic Victory
Means Wet Goods
Former Senator Hansbrough Warns
Prohibitionists Against Pos
Sib1e Dem Victory

Min neapolis Tribune. If North
Dakota goes democratic at the
fall elections. the state will depart
altogether from the policy of pro-
1hibition of the liquor traffic, or
grant local option, according to II.
G. Hansbrough, former United
States senator from North Dakota.
North Dakota has had demo-
cratic governor for four years, and
he is now running for third term,"
said the former senator. "There
is also movement on foot in the
state to elect enough democrats to
control the legislature so as to Sc
cure the election Of two United
States senators. Should this hap
pen we may expect the democrats
to extend the local option policy
to North Dakota. as that now seems
to be the policy of the party
throughout the country. l have
every confidence. however. that
the republicans are going to elect
the entire state ticket in Novem-
ber.
':The result in Maine is in con-
sequence of a strong local issue
the liquor question:" said MIR.
Hansbrough in reply to a query as
to his opinion on the democratic
victory in that state.
''For many years the republicans
there have advocated prohibition.
In recent years the democratic
party seems to have adopted the
pol icy of local option and that was
the controlling issue in the recent
elec tion. OF course, national af-
fairs had something to do with it.
Such results always follow a revls-
ion of the tariff.
whether the people of the
country intend to repeat the his
tory of the early neinties
and return the democratic
party to power, thus forcing an
other revision of the tariff along
revenue lines, remains to be ssen.'

Jump to the conclusion that North
Dakota, or any particular section
of it, is not splendid agricultural
region, says the Barlow Enter
prise. If the peculiar conditions
of 1910 are considered and rightly
understood, and fair comparisons
are made with eighboring states,
North Dakota shows up finely and
will still bear away the palm.
There never was better time to
hold land or make investments in
North. Dakota farm lands than to-
day. We like the spirit and good
sense of the Foster county farmer
who purchased a farm here eight
cen months ago and when he was
asked if he would take what he
gave (aud he gave good price)
for his farm, replied, You can't
touch it for less than advance of
$1,000 per acre a bove what I gave
for it." And real estate men ex-
perience no difficulty with buyers
who come personally to seek in
vestment. The many evidences of
prosperity on every hand, fine
farm houses and barns, splendid
shipping facilities, and growing
towns, all convince even the casual
observer that North Dakota is in
the front rank as an agricultural
state.

N. K. Brewster dropped into the

whose name we did not learn. The
relic was trusted to Mr.. Brewster
to be placed in the archives of the
State Historical Society. A look
at the fossil shows distinctly to be
an ear of the old fashioned zig gag
souaw corn, raised by the Indians
ages ago. Zig gag squaw corn is
so called on account of the kernels
being set on the cob irregularly,
where, in the corn of today the
kernels are set in rows. One end
of the fossil shows clearly where it
was disconnected from the stock
and where the tip of the ear had
been broken off, the core of the
cob shows up very distinctly. On
account of the rarity of such a fos-
sill, it is considered very valuable.

the climax - both as an industrial

It is even rumored that so many
farmers purchased the gas wagons
a society was organized in New
York to work against auto manu-
facturers on the ground they were
getting all the farmers loose change.
But in North Dakota farmers are
now getting in advance Of the au-
tos. Leading bankers announce
that during the past two or three
years OF great prosperity and even
now - the farmers of this state
have been the chief purchasers Of
banks and bank stocks.
If money is profitable for one
man to handle it must be profit
able for others-if they know how
to handle it. Small banks have
been organized in many of the
farming communities of the state.
The farmers are the chief stock
holders. The deposits have been
running into large figures. These
banks pay from six to twenty-six
per cent.

heavy mortgages on the farms, has
