Wby should any republic

aries. Why should any republi-
can vote for his democratic oppon-
emit, when the issue between the
parties is as plain as it is in this
state today?
Let the voters think we'll over
the matter. On the one hand, the
republican party with its record of
prosperity for the farmers and
business man. On the other hand
the democratic party, seeking to
build up a machine to turn the
state over to the men who would
take the tariff off of agricultural
products, blight the business of
the country and return it to the
condition of hard times and dis
tress that we experienced in 1898
and 1894. There should be no
question about the attitude of the
republicans of this state.
They should vote for G. A.
johnson and the straight republi-
can ticket and head off democra-
tic domination of the state, and
assist in heading it off in the ma
ton that Taft and Roosevelt and
Cummins, Nelson, Clapp,
Beveridge and other great leaders
declare should continue under re-
publican rule.

James W. Foley, North Dako-

number of the cities in the state
and it is now time he was invited
to Washburn. He gives delight
full readings before large and ap-

appears and those who have read
his verse in many of the largest
magazines, want to hear him.

Julia war1 Howe.

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was
born across the sea,
With a glory in. his bosom that transis-
ures you n me.
AS he died to make men holy, let US die
to make men free.
While God is marching on.
The recent death o. Americas grand
old woman, Julia Ward Howe, in her
ninety-second year serves to recall to
mind the fact that our martial hymns
of real poetic merit are few and far
between. 1t is forty-nine years since
Mrs. Howe wrote the Battle Hymn
of the Republic" which was sung to
the tune Of John Browns Body by
Federal soldiers throughout the war
and since the close of that conflict has
been accepted north and south alike as
the triumphal paean of progressive
American democracy. The Battle
Hymn" is true poetry. 1t has the dash
and swing of marching troops, the
lyric Tilt of word music, and it contains
lines that are of epic height and depth.

to the reunited nation as a priceless
legacy. Our literature contains moth
ing so inspiring.
Mrs. Howe devoted much Of her life
to a dignified and won.anly effort to
make woman free. When she was
born the sphere of woman was con-
fined to the households: the higher ed
ucation was for men only. Now our
girls are educated along with our boys.
and many of them excel their brothers
in scholarship. \ prominent Japanese
who had lived long in America recent
ly remarked that in his opinion the
superiority of our civilization owe
Japan's is due mainly to the fact that
in this country we educate II women.
while in Japan the women are kept in
comparative ignorance. Mrs. Howe
not only did much toward opening the
avenues of education to women, but
she gave many of the later years Of
her life to the cause of political rights
for the members of her sex. Whether
we stand for woman suffrage or
against it, we cannot refuse to pay 4
tribute of respect to this wonderful
nonagenarian. whose life was a IN
slant endeavor toward larger liberty
for all. ROBERTUS LOVE.

CenSus Padding,

1t is charged that several cities have
returned population figures consider
ably in advance Of their real popula-
ton. A little object lesson will illus
trate the foolishness, not to speak of
the c%riminality, of such a trick. Sup
pose the city of L.obsterville has sup
piled the thirteenth census with fig
ures showing a population of 100000
when in reality the place has only
$4,000. Suppose these figures are &C.
copied and published and the fraud is
not found out promptly. In 1920 the
fourteenth census will be taken. Other
enumerators, quite probably honest
ones, will make the returns to the bu-
reau ut Washington. Suppose Lob
sterville is known to have been grow.
ing rapidly in population since 1910.
But the 1920 figures show only $1,000
people. What about the 1910 census
showing 100000? Then, assuredly, the
fraud twill out" the same as murder.
There are individuals in this world
who pad their returns. They want to
appear richer and more important than
they really are. But sooner or later
the padding is discovered, and then
the world laughs at the guilty ones.
Whether you are a man or a munich
pality, it is futile and fatuous to try to
work a bluff on the general public, to
make a false showing of your assets.
Time will tell the truth. Don't pad.

Let Us Have Republican Success

Let Us Have Republican Success
There is a contest in this state
this year between the republicans
and the democrats. There is no
installing the plain issue. While
the democrats have sought to put
the campaign for governor on a
non partisan basis, in order to get
republican votes for Burke for
governor, there is no non partisan
ship in the democratic attitude.
The democrats have brought w.
j. Bryan into the state on a spec
ial train to compaign for the dem
ocratic cause. They have exerted
every effort to get votes for the de-
mocracy-not for any non parti-
san candidates. They want the
head of the administration to be a
democrat in order that they may
build up a stronger democratic
machine. The appointees who
hold offices Of profit in the state
are democrats. The democratic
state machine is as lose a corpora
ton as ever existed in any state.
The democrats have hopes of
electing democratic candidates for
congressman and a democratic leg
islature-and if they do not elect
all of them this fall, they hope to
strengthen their state machine by
the election Of a democratic gov
ernor so that they may enter the
presidential campaign of 1912,
with an effective state organiza-
ton.
These things ought to appeal to
the republicans of the state and
convince them that there is no
non craftsmanship in the democra-
tic attitude. There was no parti-
sanship in the appointment of a
United States senator. There has
been no non partisanship in the
distribution Of profitable Offices.
And every Office holder in the
state who has been named by the
governor is out boosting for the
democratic cause. This ought to,
dispose Of the democratic cry of
non craftsmanship.
The farmers of this state have
had experience with democratic
rule. They have seen fifty cent
wheat. no market for their pro-
ducts, armies of unemployed men
marching through the state in
search of work and bread, They
have seen all this under democra-
tic rule. Do they want such a
condition again? If not. they
should be loyal to the republican
state ticket and pay no attention
to the efforts of democrats to get
them to vote for the democratic
candidate for governor. No state
in the union has prospered more
than North Dakata under republi-
can rule. Wheat. flax, corn, meat
products and everything the far
mel sells has advanced rapidly in
price. The demand for land has
been great. Never before was
there such a condition of prosper
ity as has existed in North Dako-
ia since the time of Mckinley
and Roocevelt.
Are the people Of this state
going to throw away their birth.
right at the request of u lot of
democratic candidates for office?
Do they intend to sacrifice their
prosperity because the democrats
want to get into Office? Do they
intend to help build up a great
democratic machine nv olactino

Miss Scott with a laugh, just be-
fore starting on her trans CONT
mental trip.
How well / remember a funny
experience | had when returning
one night from a friends home. a
few miles out of Rochester My
faithful 'consumptive' was merrily
chugging along the road. its small
oil lamps feebly Illuminating the
ground for a few feet in advance
of the car. Suddenly bicycle
headlight doomed up in the road
ahead. 1 rang my bell-horns We're
a rarity in those days-but the
light came straight towards us
without deviating from its course
in the middle of the road
Stay where you are. fellows;
I'll go between you.' a voice rang
out from behind the light There
was a crash as he hit, fair and
square between the two lamps on
my car. We dug him out of the
radiator. not much the worse for
wear. but his bicycle was beyond
redemption.
The poor man never again mis-
took automobile lamps for those of

with their lives. If they do survive,
and by their heroism succeed in stop
ping the train and avoiding a wreck,
despite the rain of blows from this
huge fail of steel, their act brings
/ forth a greater measure of praise than
almost any other form of bravery that
| the railroad knows.
! Only the other day one of the driv-
! ing rods of a fast passenger locomo-
! tive broke while the train was running
more than sixty miles an hour down
/ the steep grades Of Pickerel mountain.
In an instant the whirling bar of steel
had smashed the cab and broken the
controlling mechanism, so that it was
impossible to bring the train to a stop
by ordinary means. The great loco
motive lunged forward like a runaway
horse that had thrown its rider. In
some way. however, LutZ, the engin-
eer. had escaped injury. He crept to
the opposite side of the cage and
climbed out through the little window
upon the boiler to try to reach some
Of the controlling apparatus from the
outside He was working himself
astride the scorching boiler when sud
denly the engine struck curve,
which it took at terrific speed. The
shock half threw the engineer from
his perilous position but he saved him
self by grasping the bell rope. Then
he worked himself down along the I'M
injured side of the swaying locomotive
to where he could open one of the
principal steam valves. A cloud of
vapor rushed forth with a tremendous
roar. Although robbed of its power,
the locomotive did not slacken speed
until il reached the bottom of the
grade. Then little by little the thresh-
ing of the great driving rod, which
was pounding the upper part of the
engine to pieces. grew slower, and
finally it stopped. No one was killed
or injured. and not a passenger in the
long train knew until it was over of
the danger that had been avoided so
narrowly.

MR.. TAFT AS A "RlSK."

1t is believed among insurance men
that President Taft carries more insur-
ance upon his life than any former
president says the Kansas City Jour
nal And contrary to the general opin-
ion, likewise, he is considered a very
good risk, notwithstanding his great
weight and his disposition to travel. 1t
is rumOred that he carries $3.000,000
life insurance policies. and that the
companies are willing to increase this
amount. What better evidence could
there be that our president is in the
pink of health?
No doubt majority of the people be-
lieve that Mr.. Taft incurs greater risks
in travelling than in staying at home.
There are many persons who suffer
constant anxiety when on railroad
trains or steamers. In discussing this
matter the general manager of one of
the largest casualty insurance COM
panies in America said: 1T is not
generally known, but IT is perfectly
true, according to figures. that the very
steamship, and that the next safest
place i'm the world is on a Pullman car.
Ii might almost seem. then, that the
president was safeguarding himself
when he spends SO much time on
trains. wouldn't you think? 1t would
be a greater risk to insure him against
accidents if he remained at home and
