The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1910-04-21

Politics in North Dakota is not poor mans
game by any means and the primary election law
has not bettered the poor mans chances any. The
Independent has contended right along that there
is something wrong with our primary election law.
Speaker Buriick aspired to seat in congress- and
it looked for time that he would be candidate.
The elimination" committee got busy, eliminated
Burdick and the speaker decided that he hadn't
any business in the game under the circumstances.
The following statement from Mr.. Burdlck tells
plainly why he is out of 1t.
II am not candidate for congressman, nor for
any other Office. Since making my announcement
for congress, I find that there is particular
demand from any quarter that l make the race,
but have discovered that the money needed to
make the race will be very much more than ever
thought would be required and very much more
than can afford to spend at this time. Politics
is not poor mans game and those without money
had better keep out Of It, 1t would be necessary
for me to mortgage my land to raise money to cover
the expense Of campaign, and am sure every.
one Of good judgment would agree with me that
such course would be unw1se Even If I were
elected should sti be out Of Joint with the plan
lot living at Washngton- wouldet have the
money Besides this when there are %" many
aspdrants for congress who are willing to stand
he expense, there Is no neei Of my making any
sacrifice If the state 10 ever divided into consrea-
xonal districts. the expease of . campaign vm 10

pie Of my district to take a chance On me It

For the same reason shall not "a candidate
for ueutensnt governor. It would be aeoessary tor
me to spend more than the entire income OF this
office in the one campaign: f. I could AFFORD It,
should be only too glad to offer my services to
the state but I can do my part for tho best IN
forests of the state without running for office.
Some people seem to lose their enthusiasm unless
they are in quest Of some office, but we can't all
hold Office. It would be most fortunate thing
for "good government" in this state If there were
more advocates for it because Of principle" and
fewer advocates because Of "ofhce" - ~
L. o. Higley, register of deeds of Williams
county, is candidate to succeed himself. II the
Independent may be considered as not "butting In
on the affairs of Williams county, we would like
to say that the people ought to return Mr.. Higley
to this office. He has installed business like me-
thods and is giving Williams county the best there
is in this Office.

Our Democratic friends who have had the salts
faction of voting three times for Bryan, will very
likely have an opportunity to change their luck
at the next Presidential campaign, for it is said
that contrary to expectations Mr.. Bryan will take
a little vacation and allow some other candidate
to take turn at the wheel. The Democrats are
now engaged in looking the field for pos
sibe winner The Chicago Tribune picks five pos
sibtes one of whom is Gov John Burke of North
Dakota. The governor, it is said, would not be
averse to running, and the leaders believe that
good from the middle west would not have
much trouble in carrying large majority Of the
states west of the Allegheny mountains. Bryan is
now in Texas, but is still writing editorials for
the Commoner, a recent one OF which favors coun-
ty options Bryan who first rode the bimetaldsm
hobby to death, and later Imperialism, and after
that every other issue that he could think OF, will
probably take up the job of inserting a prohibition
plank in the Democratic platform. Bryan will pos
sibly be candidate for the senate, which would
have tendency to keep him in the limeight until
six years from now, when he might become pres
idental candidate for the fourth time.

Why FARMERS COME TO NORTH DAKOTA

j. D. Pierce, Larfmore real estate man. says
that the present season in North Dakota promises
to be one the biggest in the real estate business
in years the tide settlers having turned from the
Canadian Northwest and from Texas to North Da.
kota and Montana. Naturally Montana is getting
the most settlers, but as general rule North
Dakota is getting the most substantial farmers
from Iowa and Illinois are farmers, according to
Mr.. Pierce, who are in a position to buy land and
to farm it in the most upto-date methods They
are coming to North Dakota because the land here
lis less than half expensive of that where they
hail from This gives them an opportunity to farm
a large area and make more profit for North d.
kota land raises just big if bigge" crops t;an
are raised farther east.
The slight advantage that the eastern land has
over North Dakota in being nearer the central
market is over-balanced many fold by the superior
advantages of making money in this state. The
eastern farmers have noticed that North Dakota
land is rapidly raising in price and consequently
are taking the opportunity to buy while it Is cheap
and within their means They confidently expect
that North Dakota land will continue to advance
until it reaches price nearly if not fully high
as that further east, and there Is reason why
it should not, the producing power of the land
here is equal in every way to that in the older set
tied sections of the east.

JUVENILE OFFENDERS.

The suggestion with reference to dealing with
juvenile, offenders made by Dean Bruce in COM
munication in anothr column is worthy OF careful
attention, and the Herald hopes that some way may
be found of putting it in practice There appear to
be no great obstacles in the way Of the appoint
ment Of such officer as Is suggested, and the
filing OF such an office by the right man would
without question accomplish world Of good
It is possible that there Is here and there boy
Who because of some peculiar twist In his nature,
is and will remain incorrigtble. But these cases
are exceedingly They are so rare that they
need scarcely be taken into account at all. The
average boy is not vicious He may be young
barbarian, but he is not wicked one He means
to do WE'LL according to his lights He gets per-
verted notions Of what we'll doing is and he does
the wrong thoughtlessiy, gnorantly, mischiev
ously, but rarely malciously. Sometimes his asso
Citations give him wrong ideas of what right and
wrong are Sometimes he is taught to consider
smart" certain things that very annoying to
himself There are a thousand and one ways in
which boy who is not at all bad may drift into
being bad, and the way to keep him from following
any of these paths is to keep him informed of
where the right road is.
Preaching to a boy is Of more than doubtful utili
ty. The average boy listens to a sermon on his own
sins only because he thinks he must and sermon
delivered under such circumstances bears little
fruit. The boy will listen TO anyone whom ne
considers a friend, and sympathetic one, and
before the boy be reached to any good purpose
he must be convinced of the friendship Of the
person who is trying to reach him That is the
secret of the success of Judge Lindsey of Denver,
with his street Arabs, They know him, and know
that he understands them and their ways, their
weaknesses, their ambitions and the things that
they are "up against They believe him to be
square, and that all that he wants OF them is that
they shall square as we'll. And when given
chance they make a desperate effort OF course
they fail. Who does not? But it takes lot of
failures to discourage Lindsey, and his work has
already saved the city of Denver large sums of
money in the prevention Of juvenile crime, and the
next generation untold sums in reducing the num-
Der of adult criminals
Grand Forks is, as Dean Bruce says, probably
too small as yet for the installation of full
fedged juvenile court. But there is certainly
for competent probation officer, who knows boys,
who believes in them, who will be square with them,
and who has not forgotten that he was once a
boy himself Grand Forks Herald
