State Will Sell Lands
on Missouri Slope

APierre dispatch of the 5th inst says:
For the first time the state lands board
will offer lands for sale in the Missouri
slope country. For years these lands
would not bring the minimum fixed by
the constitution for the state school

of them. But now that the demand
has brought them up to price where
they will bring not only the minimum,
but more than twice that, offerings
will be made in Sully and Potter coun-
ties. The list Of counties selected in
which to make offerings and the dates
of such offerings which have been de-
cided upon are: Beadle, April Is;
Kingsbury, April 26; Miner, 81;
McCook, April %; Sanborn, April %;
Jerauld, April 30; Douglas and Sully,
May 2; Charles Mix and Potter, May
3; Gregory and Faulk, May 4; Sphinx.
May 5; Clark, Mayo; Hand and Mar
shall, May I. The lease dates in all
counties where lands will be offered
for sale will be on the days following
the sales, except when such day is
Sunday, when they will be on the
Monday following. Lease on lands in
all other counties of the state will be
made on the 18th of March.

INSURGENCY INTnE EAsr.

In the American Magazine for
March, Ray Stannard Baker writes
under the topic, ''Is the East Also
Insurgent2'' Answering his own
question, Mr.. Baker says that the east
is undergoing the process out OF which
insurgency ID evolved, being behind
the west in the movement and having
much stronger opposition to contend
with,
In several Of the eastern states
New York, New Hampshire, New
Jersey and Massachusetts,, for example
state insurgency has been or Is being
attained, but has not reached the
national stage In any. There are DIFF
aculties to contend with In the eastern
states, with their large Industrial
centers and the arbitrary corporation
control, that the agricultural west
has not generally encountered.

insurgency will become nationalized
throughout the east and that it will
send progressive senators and repre-
sentatives to Washington when the
uprising reaches the dimensions
toward which it is tending.
He cites the case Of New Hampshire,
for generations in the clutches of the
corporation machine, where every Of
ficer OF Importance is selected by the
Boston & Maine Railroad company,
as an example of the progress of in
surgency in the east. New Hampshire
has defeated a railroad scheme for tax
revision. 1t has enacted sweeping
direct primary law, a law forbidding
railroad companies to issue passes, an
lnti-lobby law. This much has the
far east state of New Hampshire ac-
complished in sympathy with the
middle west and it has placed itself
in aposition to attain greater achieve
ments in the domain of self govern
ment.
The American Magazine writer says
New Hampshire has been able to oc-
cupy this advanced position in com
parison with the other states of it's
group because it is an agricultural
state and contains a population that
cannot be overawed by the dominating
influence of industrial corporations.
The state Of Maine, long under the
heel of the machine, is stirring SO per-
ceptibly that Senator Hale is confront
ed by revolt at a time when it is
necessary for him to conspire for his
reelection to the senate.
The overt act which caused the
wrath Of Maine to descend upon the
head of Senator Hale was his motion
to place Speaker Cannon's Kansas City
speech in the congressional record so
that it might be sent through the
mails under the franks Of senators and
representatives. That Maine should
take offense at the circulation of so
strong an anti-insurgent document as
the Cannon speech is an assuring
symptom. 1t shows that the voters
OF that state are sensitive in the right
spot.
Mr.. Baker says that even in morally
dead old Pennsylvania insurgency is
stirring little and that New York,
under the prodding of Gov. Hughes,
Is SO far convinced that it may pass a
primary election law, the first step in
the reform that has found it's host in
the west.
While Massachusetts is almost hope
lessly in the control Of the Lodge
Crane machine, Mr.. Baker found
there many such active and militant
progressives as Ex-Governor Guild who
edits newspaper andis preaching the
gospel of insurgency day by day.
When it is remembered that, in a
single year, the majority of a standpat
republican governor Of Massachusetts,
was reduced from 10000 to 1900, it
will be concluded that this high bene-
ticiary of an unpopular tariff law is in
the throes of political revolution.
In the American Magazine article is
the evidence that the eastern states,
though slow to act, are falling into
line with the western states and that
insurgency Is becoming an acute con-
ditiOn In all the strong renuhlican
states. That it will sweep the entire
country by the time the next presi-
Dental election date arrives is told in
plainly legible handwriting on the POI
litical wall.

John Lind q. Coming.

John Lind, the greatest democrat in
eur sister state Of Minnesota, il to
make a number Of speeches in North
Dakota. He has heard the Macedonian
cry, "Come over and help u.s." that has
been sent up by the democrats OF
North Dakota. He is coming here to
this republican state to aid John Burke
and his fellow democrats to carry
North Dakota for the democratic party.
He will not talk to 'he people of this
state about the SPECIAL fitness Of n
man for the office CT governor. but he
will tell our people how bad the repub-
lican party is and how necessary it is
to defeat its candidates. Mr.. Lind has
not always been a democrat. He was
once a republican, but was converted
to the theory Of a revenue tariff. and
now wants to onvert other republi-
cans to his way of thinking. The dem
ocratic committee has secured in John
Lind one of the really big guns" OF
the democratic party in the northwest.
He is a democrat of national reputa-
ton. and his participation in the cam
paign in North Dakota Is positive
proof that the democrats of the ma
ton are using very effort to re-elect
John Burke governor, retain W. q.
