Now a new charge is being made

The president Of the New York
State Medical society has warned
his fellows against the practice Of

to the doctors recommending such

North Dakotans are much in
terested and curious about what
Alexander Mckenzie will be doing
to clear up the sensational situation
in North Dakota. Mckenzie is
now in Washington on his annual
visit and has been comforting with.
McCumber relative to the coming
senatorial campaign. It will be
recalled that on his last visit there
he tried to get former Senator
Hansbrough out of the race by
securing him a good paying fpo-
sition in the senate. Later Hans
brough declined his job and got
into the game.-Jamestown Ca

Roosevelt To Farmers

There are two public questions of
more vital importance to the future OF
this country than the problem OF con-
servation and the problem OF the bet
terment OF rural life.
Moreover these two problems are
really interdependent, for neither OF
them can be successfully solved save
on condition that there is at least
measurable success in the effort to
solve the other in any great coun-
try the prime physical asset-the ply
steal asset more valuable than any
other-is the fertility of the soil All
our industrial and commercial well
fare. all our material development OF
every kind, depends in the last resort
upon our preserving and increasing
the fertility OF the soil
This, OF course, means the conser-
walton OF the soil as the great natural
resource; and equally, OF course, it
furthermore implies the development
OF country life, for there cannot be
permanent Improvement OF the soil il
the life OF those who live on it, and
make their living out OF it, is suffered
to Starve and languish, to become
stunted and weakened and inferior to
the type OF life lived elsewhere
CITIES PROSPER AND MEN
DECAY"
I'm one sense this problem with
which we have to deal is very, very
old. Wherever civilizations have
hitherto sprung up they have always
tended to go through certain stages
and then to fall. No nation can de-
velop real civilization without cities.
Up to certain point the city move
ment is thoroughly healthy; yet it is
a strange and lamentable fact that al
ways hitherto after this point has been
reached the city has tended to develop
at the expense of the country by drain
ing the country of what is best in it,
and making an insignificant return for
this best In consequence, in the past,
every civilization in its latest stages
has tended really to witness those
conditions under which the cities pros
per and the men decay There are
ugly signs that these tendencies are
at work in this nation OF ours But,
very fortunately, we see now what
never before was seen in any civil
zaton-an aroused and alert public
interest in the problem a recognition
OF ITS gravity and a desire to attempt
its solution

the farmer must himself take the lead

The farmer, however, must not
only make his land pay, but he must
make country life interesting for him
self and for his wife and his sons and
daughters. Our people as whole
should realize the indefinite possibii-
ties OF life in the country, and every eff
tort should be made to make poSsbii-
ties more possible. From the begin

it IS extraordinary to see how large

it is rather sad to see that in recent
years, most OF these same boys have
ended their lives as men living in

Farmers should learn how to COM
bine effectively, as has been done in
industry. | am particularly glad to
