southern states inspired Mr.. Bryan
with the idea that--by Erecting a
coalition between the two parties and
securing, a. joint nomination for the
presidency--he might succeed In at
length accomplishing the ambition of
his life. The prohibitionists, whose
only ambition is to keep their stand
ard aloft without any expectation or
desire of obtaining Office, do not sym
pathize with the dream Of Mr.. Bryan.
They are willing to permit Mr. Bryan
to vote the prohibition ticket, If he
so desires--but the lure OF possible
success through a coalition with the
democratic party does not appeal to
them. Mr. Bryan must first publicly
announce that he is forever done with
"the whisky democratic party" writes
one prohibition leader.
1t is hard upon Mr.. Bryan. He has
gained nothing by his attempted dick
err with the ohibitionists-while he
has exposed himself to the doubts and
misgivings OF his old supporters in the
democratic party. 1t does not seem
that anything can restore him to the
confidence Of his old friends.

A HISTORY MAKER.

North Dakotans are wondering If
the Halley's comet has any influence
on the meteorological conditions.
With the periodic appearance of the
comet every seventy-five years have
been connected-at least in point of
time-some of the most spectacular of
the worlds events.
From time immemorial the world
has assumed an attitude Of supersti-
tious awe toward the luminous wander
err in the sky.
Men who have little or no acquaint-
ance with history-have imbibed GER
tain vague and indefinite notions in
regard to the strange heavenly tramp.
There are few country firesides which
have not caught some of the traditions
concerning it, which have filtered down
from generation to generation.
Included among the events, which in
times past have waited on the arrival
of the visitor soon to enter the even
ing sky, are the following:

people of the state. If the republi-
cans would unite on a man like E. p.

from Darlington, they would find
gubernatorial candidate who would put
up a candidate hst would cause an
awakening from one end of the state
to the other. He has the ability,
the character and the devotion to
duty that are needed so much.
Wyndmere Pioneer: Everybody is
glad to read the news from Washing
ton that Senator McCumber is on the
road to recovery. During his serious
Illness all were anxious and appre-
hensive. Many were convinced that he
could not recover. Now, all are con-
fident that in few weeks he will be
active and at his work again.
Meantime the people of the state
appreciate his services better than
ever. Besides, of late there is a grow
ing confidence in the administration
and work Of congress-President Taft
is growing in the confidence Of the
nation. McCumber is doing his work
in harmony with the administration
and in the interest Of the state of
North Dakota. It is expected by near
ly everybody that the primary election
will go for him without doubt, and
decidedly and overwhelmingly.
Sheyenne Star: The battle to be
fought out in this state at the corning

SHAW ON NJ. D.

Prof. Thos. Shaw, the eminent writer
and lecturer on agricultural subjects,
is the author of little booklet issued
by the Northern Pacific. 1t is entitled
Professor Shaw on North Dakota
Along the Scenic Highways Through
the Land of Fortune.
The booklet is written in Professor
Shaw's direct, incisave style H. is
plain and outspoken in sor1e things
but he drives home facts that are
true, whether the people of the state
care to admit them or not
After paying a high tribute to the
wonderful soil of the Red river valley,
the many elements of plant food 1t con-
tains and the practical inexhaustibilty
of it's fertility, the professor proceeds
to brand the present farming methods
as-insane It is a rather harsh word
but candor compels the admission ID
Is largely deserved.
The professor calls attention to the
low wheat yields in the valley and
attributes 1t to three main causes
continuous wheat cropping for twenty
or more years, 100 much surface water
with lack of sufficient drainage, and
the large farm holdings.
He shows that the continuous crop
ping and shallow blowing has given
the soil only a mere scratching. He
calls attention to the fact that there
Is sufficient fall for draining the land
If proper bitches and drains are con-
structed and shows the large holdings
could be made much more profitable If
the farms were divided.
The remedies he suggests are crop
diversifcarion, live stock raising and
growing clover. Many of the ad-
vantages to be gained from all three
are successfully demonstrated in his
article.
In addition to his contribution on the
Red river valley, Professor Shaw tells
of the wonderful opportunities of
Stutsman county for dairying, grow
ing alfalfa, clover and corn. Kidder
county's resources are exploited and
farming methods in the country west
OF the Missourf--both north and south
of the main line of the Northern Pa
cific-are suggested.
The booklet concludes with an ar
ticle on the unlimited possibilities OF
North Dakota in live stock raising
The professor takes the position North
Dakota has many advantages over
states further south like Iowa, com
monty known as the corn belt. At
tention is called to the great fodder
production in North Dakota corn the
lower prices of the lands, the better
crops Of coarse grains, the production
Of fax and the fax cake that can bt
easily secured, the production of field
peas, field roots. clover and alfalfa.
The winters here are held to b.
better than those Of the corn belt, In
that the weather is a steadier colo
and does not fiuctuate as 1T doe
further south
There are many good points in tn,
little booklet and no one is more famfl
far with the conditions in North Da,
kota than Professor shaw who ha
been member Of the farmers insti
tute corps for several years.

Ashley Tribune: Although we have
a state wide primary election law that
is supposed to give every man per-
feet right to be a candidate for Of
fee if he chooses, twenty-one insur-
gents of the state fixed up a state
ticket and tried to force 1t upon the
insurgent voters of North Dakota.
That was the way in which Lauder,
Helgeson, Buchanan, ct al, were NOM
mated for Office. In connection with
the work of this elimination commit
of twenty one an amusing thing has
happened. A. L. Woods, well known
and elderly gentleman who has been
connected with much of the education
al work of the state, was the man the
committee nominated for the Office of
state superintendent. Some interested
parties then got busy and took poll
of the county superintendent, city
superintendent, principals and teach
ers to ascertain the popular choice
among the educators of the state for
a state superintendent. Last week
the sealed ballots were opened by
county committee of three impartial
county superintendents and the result
announced. There were so votes for
Woods, 258 votes for e. j, Taylor, the
present deputy state superintendent.
and about 80 scattering votes, Z OF
which designated Taylor for second
choice. 265 to so! Wasn't it slap at
the nominations by the elimination
committee? The result got a rise"
out of the Grand Forks Herald, which
came out in an article very solemnly
and earnestly appealing to Taylor's
honor to keep him cut of the race, and
going to the extent Of eliminating
him. We do not think, however, that

Travellers Tales

F. Whitmarsh Of Minneapolis, who
represents the American Bankers Pro-
tective association, Is a visitor In the
city today and is attending the meet
ing of the bankers of this judicial dis
trict. Years ago, before he got to
wearing the top of his head bare, Mr..
Whitmarsh was an athlete, and some
of the best athletes in the country
met their Waterloo at his hands. Some
how or other he cannot get the idea
into his head that he isn't as agile as
he used to be, and on his last visit
to this city he issued challenges galore
to various parties. Wrestling was his
chief delight while boxing was his
pastime, and he tells many a tale OF
his prowess. 1t must be at least two
months ago that he issued challenge
to Tom P. Riley and Harry O'Neill to
meet the two in the same evening.
This challenge was promptly accepted
and 1t is generally believed that the
Riley meeting will take place this ev-
ening after the bankers have attended
the Mantell show. There is no truth
In the story that was started by Fred
A. Irish to the effect that Mr.. Whit
marsh would not have come here last
night If he hadn't received quiet tip
to the effect that Harry O'NeIl was
laid up with a bum toe and couldn't
appear. He states positively that he
didn't know Mr.. O'Neill was confined
to the bed until he arrived here, and
just to show that he isn't afraid of any
one, he has asked to have it stated
that he will take on Mr.. Riley and

outcome of the challenge is awaited
with considerable interest.
William Cramer of Grand Forks was
visitor to this city yesterday and he
reports business as excellent at the
Forks town. BY the way, Mr.. Cramer
is famous musician and is leader
of the crack band that belongs to the
Grand Forks aerie of Eagles. He at
one time resided In this city. He said
to The Forum hotel reporter yester-
day: "You can say that when the
state meeting of the Eagles takes place
in Fargo we expect to come down here
in a big flock, and we will have our
Eagles band along and The Forum
will get serenade from us. The lodge
of the Eagles is growing rapidly and
the whole town is thriving"
Ex-State Senator Greene has been
visitor to the city for a day or two
seeing the sights and visiting friends
Mr.. Green is a resident of the city OF
Dickinson and he says his town is
growing fast and that the growth is
a healthy one. He was speaking Of
railroad building and said that west
of Dickinson there was a good dea'
of it. But" said he, they don't build
railroads in this country like they used
to away down in Tennessee. There's
| too much loafing on the job here. Why
down in Tennessee it was common
thing for the contractors to point the
stumps along the road they were
building, just to keep the men from
sitting down. You can bet your lif'
that the men who worked on the rail
roads in the south Of long ago had M
snap. We expect some day to hav'
as big town out of Dickinson as Far
