Good Show.

The Girl That's all the Candy play
ed to good houses last Friday and Sat-
urday nights. It is musical comedy
Of the character that is very popular at
many play houses in the large cities.
It has considerable merit and is on the
whole a better show than the general
run making country towns.
The comedy was good and the sing
ing and dancing specialties were pleas
ing.
The chorus, while not consisting of
sixteen ravishing beauties as repre-
sented in the bills, was as large as the
stage would accommodate and in per-
sonal appearance had their good points.
But the girls were disappointingly
unsusceptible to the attentions shown
them by the bald headed row which
was much longer than the line of
capering candy girls.
Oakes is getting much better class
of shows than formerly as result of
being rated good point.

Our Library Growing.

The library has just received quite a
number of copies of late and interest
ing works of fiction and more are
coming soon, an addition of about sew
enty-fve volumes in all.
There may be some people who have
recently come to Oakes who have not
had opportunity to learn that there is
public library in town. 1t is located in
the city hall and is under manage
ment of the Woman's Club. 1t is not
extensive as yet, containing about 700
volumes, but the books are carefully
selected and almost anyone can find
there many excellent books of fiction,
biography and history that they have
not on their own shelves and never
have read.
The club deserves full credit for the
existence and growth of this useful
little nucleus. They and the young
ladies are always ready to gratuitously
devote time and effort to earning
money for the fund and to keeping it
open certain periods each week.
The time cannot be far distant when
some building will be erected along
Union or Second street in which a
comfortable and attractive home for
the library and reading rooms can be
secured. When that time arrives a
little cooperation by our progressive
women and liberal citizens will provide
the funds for the expansion and main.
tenance of this worthy institution.
The library is open TO- the public
Wednesday and Saturday afternoons.

Does Not Guarantee.

It is obvious to all that the North
Dakota pure seed law was not enacted
to provide advertising matter for any
person, firm or corporation. InSpecial
Seed Bulletin No. l, of this Office, /
called attention to the following ruling:
''The report or certificate Of the seed
commissioner upon any sample in
spected, analyzed or tested, is not fur
nished in any case as a guarantee, but
is given only for the private informa-
tion Of the party from whom the seed
is obtained, and must not in any case
be used for advertising purposes.
The aim Of such ruling must be self
evident; for it is obviously impossible
for the seed laboratory to examine all
Of the seeds sold by any one seed firm.
The seller should give his own guaran-
tee. This office does not report TO any
one person that any samples comply
with the law. The reports show ex-:

4 Pennsylvania Wants to Know
About North Dakota.

T. : {
~ The following pithy sentences are
extracts from a letter written by a
man who resides in Pennsylvania to a
friend in this state. Some weeks ago the
gentleman from Pennsylvania wrote to
his North Dakota friend, advising him
that he was about to seek new loca-
tioh and was thinking of coming to
North Dakota and that he would like
to have his counsel in the matter. His
friend, not wishing to influence him,
answered in non-commital tone and
pointed out other localities that might
be desirable as future home. The
Pennsylvanian speaks for, himself in
the following words:
81 would be almost willing to stake
my life on it that I could buy good
farm in North Dakota. could make good
on it. even though my boys are too
young to be of much help to me for
some years yet. AS l stated in my
other letter to you, I could come to
North Dakota with about $40 to pay
down on farm, and that ought to
enable me to get hold of a we'll i'm
proved farm with fair buildings, one on
which could float mortgage for the
necessary amount to cash off the place,
and stock it, and then make my pay
ments and interest on the back money
out of my crops. If / could not get a
good farm in North Dakota on the con-
ditions named then it must be a very
peculiar and unusual kind of locality,
it seems to me. AS to the help prob
lem, I ought to be able to get help as
readily as other farmers can get it.,
and also feel certain that in very
short time l would make as good a
farm hand as the average. If should
come out there and plank down $4,000
on a we'll improved farm and then
couldn't borrow few thousands more
on it by giving good first mortgage
security, it would seem to me to indi-
cate that there are. no capitalists that
regard North Dakota ''dirt'' as valu-
able asset. And if / couldn't make
enough above living to make reason
able annual payments on the land, then
it is a foregone conclusion that your
section of the country is absolutely n,
/. e. which 1 have every reason to believe
is not the case. I would not expect to
get rich in few years but if by hard
work and economy ! could become the
owner, Of a good North Dakota farm
free from all incumbrance in the next
ten or twelve years, l would be salts
fed and feel that I would be able to
leave my children a far better heritage
than it will ever be possible for me to

TAFT DENIES Comment
ON NEW NAT|0NAuSM
Regulates Story Published
This Morning in New York
and Boston Papers.

The White House today issued the fol-

Secretary Norton at Beverly:
The President sharply repudiated this
morning the story which appeared In GER
tain Boston and New York newspapers
to the effect that he had made any COM
ment whatever expressing either pleasure
or displeasure on the new nationalism."
Dispatch From Beverly.
The story referred to in the White
House denial appeared today in the New
York Times and is as follows:
Beverly. Mass. Sept 2.-President
Taft today had a pointed comment for
the new nationalism'' that his prsde-
cessor has been launching In the west.
He told q friend who saw him at the cot
tage that II would be necessary to revise
the Constitution before the Roosevelt
doctrine could be put into operation The
President is not eager to write new
Constitution.
only a few sentences were spoken on
the subject. The President. however. left
no doubt whatever about his attitude. He
mentioned two items in the Roosevelt
platform. One was the enactment OF a
child labor law, the other comprehen-
sive workmen's compensation acts The
President spoke Of the first as unconsti-
tutional and OF the second In IKE vein,
adding that 1t trenched upon the author
ity of the states.
Regulation Of Child Labor.
His comments applied specifically TO
plank thirteen Of Col. Roosevelt's plat
form as announced at Osawatomie last
Wednesday. That plank calls for the
regulation of the terms and conditions OF
labor by means OF comprehensive work
inemen's compensation acts. and state
and national laws to regulate child labor
and the work of women The Senate q
few winters ago engaged In long ana
profound legal debate upon the constitu-
tionality of a child labor law. and the
opinion Of sound lawyers then was that
Congress could not enact such q law
that would stand in the courts. Finally
provision was enacted authorizing an
investigation by federal officials.
The President. In speaking OF the DIM
Guilty of enacting the Roosevelt program,
alluded to troubles the country was ex-
periencing In getting the income tax
amendment to the Constitution ratified.
He mentioned no other planks in the
Roosevelt platform, some of which are In
accord with his own activities as Presi-
dent, and the conversation passed to
other topics"
