"HIS is April 4. very early for the
baseball season, but 1t afforded
i Col. Theodore Roosevelt opportun-
ity to make a startling and astounding
and characteristic grandstand play, and
in my small. though somewhat varied
reading. l do not recall figure in history
or fiction that can approach the colonel
at that sort OF thing, and I am mindful
Of that wonderful and magical "frenzied
f1nancier, Tom Lawson, too, and also
Dennis Kearney
The colonel, and he is a man of limit
less royal prerogative, had cabled his re-
buke to the Vatican, and manifestly he
had his press bureau with him, for most
vital part of the correspondence, all OF
which the holy see supposed confidential,
was expurgated. How that does remind
us here of old times! How suggestive Of
the grandstand play!
1t amounts to this: Roosevelt is can
didate for President. That is the opinion

1t would take a regiment OF Roosevelts
to make one Grant, for any meritorious

Blaine to contend against, and Blaine is
dead If MI. Roosevelt is nominated, can
he be elected? There is the rub. On the
surface it looks as though he could; but
that is the way the surface looked for
Grant in 1880. The democrats look like
they are going to behave, and when they
have done that they never have been
licked.
But suppose Roosevelt shall be inaugu-

ITO be on the popular side is often
the longing desire and the dan
gerous temptation of many men
who boast of their independence. A friend
of ours was once speaking to a great
crowd in large northern city. He told
the truth, but it was truth that his au-
dince was not fond of hearing. He was
followed by a speaker who carried the
crowd with him and was greeted with
thunders of applause, though the meet
ing was a religious one. At the close of
the debate some preachers scame to our
friend and said: you were right and
we sympathized with you, but then it was
useless for us to say anything with such
! a tide against you" Our friend was not

But Grover Cleveland was your navi-
gator up stream. He never sold the
truth for power There was man
from crown to heel, one of the very great
men our country has produced, and the
very greatest of his generation. He was
no grandstand player. He was no egotist.
He had but one idea as to conduct, and
that was to do the right as he saw the
right He was
One who never turned his back,
But marched breast forward;
Never dreamed, though right were baf-
fled,
Wrong would triumph.
And, swifter than the comet, history
did him vindication. Ere he was gath
cred to his fathers, his country recog-
nized his gigantic stature, his worth In
calculable. AS a sentinel on the watch
tower, he was exemplar for yesterday,
and the fame of Cleveland will grow and
grow and grow. He was the giant oak,
stalwart, grand, bold, defiant. He was
man of destiny, appointed to do the
work he performed. He was at the head
of affairs in period of stress and
crisis. He restored the public credit that
the republican party impaired, and main
tanned government of law when the
mob threatened the reign of anarchy. He
revitalized the Monroe doctrine and
taught the democratic party victory.
AS for Colonel Roosevelt, he knew as
well as King Edward did that to be re-
ceved by the pope of Rome, he must
subscribe to the etiquette of the Vati-
can. The chancellor of the German en-
pire subscribed to it, and had his au-
dience, and so would any gentleman of
any court of Europe, whether a crowned
king or chief minister or plain subject
or citizen. 1t never occurred to these
that the holy see was imposing con-
ditions.'' debating their conduct and
all that rot.
But Mr.. Roosevelt must needs impose
conditions on the pope. His demand, for
that is what it amounted to, was that
the Vatican should make an exception
in his case, and give him an audience
upon conditions that would be refused
King Edward, or Emperor William, or
Car Nicholas.

Rooseveltian impudence. and why not?

There is type of courtesy which gives
one the impression of a something busily
occupied in admiration of itself. AS
though a man said: "See how superbly,
how bewitchingly, how captivatingly, 1
behave myself before kings, potentates,
and the ladies!'' Beau Brummel,
with his exquisite toys and perfumery,
is nevertheless a touchy mortal, whose
corns are as outstanding and far-shining
as his graces. He Is too anxious for the
langushing eyes of the young ladies and
for the envious despair of the young
gentlemen. Self sits as critic and advis-
DRY magistrate in the court of his soul
and puts even Polonius among the liter
airy mummies of its museum. We weary
of his posing. while we would do Justice
to the golden heart behind his millinery
and his mannerfsms and his promenade.
If to be a gentleman involves all this
long leisure and this expensive get-up,
then are we returned to the harsh bar
barism of the primeval days. Work calls
too mistakenly:
when Adam delved and Eve span
Who was then the gentleman"
Indeed with the decay of chivalry as an
institution 1t was hard to preserve the
graces of its order. The foppery of the
cavaliers, no less than the rude, studied
Philistinism of the Roundheads, was but
the effort to keep life social and to keep
it true to its best traditions. If to the
Roundhead those traditions were suffi-

trite heart. he certainly was no further

Hibbing, Mimi, June THE Scran-
ton Iron Mining Co. is just a bit
peeved at the incorporation of the viii
lage of Alice, in which it is a large
property owner, and Saturday in it's
behalf Deputy Sheriff George Dona-
hue served a writ or quo warranto on
the village officers which requires
them to appear before the supreme
court June % and show by what right
they hold office.
The inquiry will be practically for
the purpose Of determining why the
recent incorporation of Alice should
not be declared null and void and
the officers ousted.
The petition upon which the writ
was issued alleges that there are only
f0rty-two voters in the village. and
that, while the total amount Of tax
able property is only S1,600,642 the
Scranton Iron Mining Co.. the petition
er, is assessed for $1,56737l on the
three forties which It owns.
This leaves but $4,000 worth Of
property assessed to others, and leaves
according to the mining company, it in
position where 1t must pay 1926 tax
es for every dollar paid by the voters.
The village recently voted to spend
about 100000 for public improve
meEts, bonding the corporation for
the purpose and the possibility of
having to pay the largest amount did
not appeal to the mine company.

warm Weather
Is NOW NEEDED
WILL MEAN MUCH FOR GROWING
CROPS - CONDITIONS ON
SLOPE AND BARNES
COUNTY.


Grand Fork, N. D., June with the
| grain well rooted, and with sufficient
moisture to answer for the present
needs of the growing crops, only con-
| tinuation of the present bright weather
! of today is needed to assure rapid
/ growth. Rains of the latter part OF
last week, general over this entire Sec
| ton, and the showers of Sunday, which
were reporter from practically every
part of the valley. have done a great
deal toward lettering the conditions of
the crops, and now all that is needed
to insure satisfactory growth is warm
weather.
The fall of moisture came at a, time
when it was very badly needed, not so
much in the territory directly along
the Red river, but along sections lying
a bit farther west. In those places
they seem to have had good rains.
The fall of moisture even extended as
far west as Minot.
Conditions on the Slope.
Crop conditions on the Missouri slope
are about the same as they are in this
territory, according to Judge w. ],
Kneeshaw, who has just returned from
q trip as far west as Dickinson, A
great deal of fax has been sown in
Morton and Oliver counties this year
on new breaking, and will serve to ma
terially increase the yields in those two
counties. Scarcely a land owner in
those two counties but what he has
this year increased the acreage under
cultivation, and the effect of their ae-
ton Is easily imagined. The cool
weather has retarded the growth, but
has given the grain splendid chance
to root properly and prepare Ii against
sudden changes in weather later in the
season.
Corn and Potatoes.
Barnes and Stutsman counties also
are in good shape at the present time.
Hon. George A. Law of Leal, Barnes
county, bringing the report that the
situation Is quite satisfactory. AS in
other communities, the cool weather
has had the effect of causing a delay,
but even rnder those circumstances
the crop is now about as far advanced
as II was at this season last year.
Seeding was finished much earlier
this season than last, so that the diff
ference In the time of sowing about
pairs off with the difference in the
climatic conditions.
One of the counties, Barnes, has
gone in for the raising of potatoes and
corn quite extensively this season.
while the flax acreage has dropped off.
The wheat acreage is probably just a
trifle greater than it was last year.
The reason assigned for the decrease
in the flax Ia the fact that the farm
ers have not had q great deal of sue
cess with it in the last three years.
Potatoes and corn, however, have done
remarkably well and many of the farm
ers have taken to raising them this
season.
Farmers of Barnes county have al
ready become converts of the rotation
idea, and the effect is very beneficial.
The first work along that line was
about five or six years ago, and has
been rapidly increasing each season
until at the present time practically
every farmer in the entire county IL
following out the system with splen-
did results.
