The druggists of the state have
gone on record for the repeal of the
liquor permit law, and there is a good
deal of justice in their position.
Either the law should be repealed, or
1t should be made uniform in it's op-
Grafton. At the present time, per-
mits are granted in some judicial dis.
tricts of the state and in others none
are granted. So far as the sale of
liquor for medicinal purposes is con-
cerned, as we'll as the compromising
of prescriptions, the druggists stand
upon a different footing, which de-
ponds largely upon the district judge.
The trouble with the proposed repeal
OF the law altogether has been that
it proposed the placing of the dis
pensing of liquor directly into the
hands of physicians, and this ia OBJ
jectionable. Physicians of the right
standing do not want this, and physi-
clans who might be willing to dis
pense liquors Unfortunately, If
there be any of that kind, ought not
to have the opportunity. The pres
ent drug permit law seems to be
unfair and to form the basis for a
discrimination that ought not to ex-
list. And we think, on the whole, a
repeal of the entire law would be the
best way out of the difficulty.

GRAND

A packed house and a good show is
what we heard about the Grand last
night. The Renalles made distinct
hit in their playlet entitled "Anniver-
sary Surprises" These clever per-
formers have blended together COM
edy. pathos and song in such a man
ner as to exact rapt attention from
their audience through the entire act.
Neil Brodie, comedian and banjoist, is
a laugh producer par excellence, and
his trick and raggy playing of the
banjo has a tendency to make every
one get up and do step or two OF
real dancing.
Miss Marcellus in her singing of pic
tOral melodies was as usual very
heartily received. The picture Of 1.-The
Shriner's Pilgrimage at New Orleans
which Mr.. Temple secured by request,
is one of especial interest, and one
that every one should see.
A berry set will be given to some
lady tonight.

NORTH DAKOTA AND THE
PRESIDENCY

Ben Whitehead of the Williston
State, one of the leading democratic
papers of North Dakota, does not
share the enthusiasm of some of his
fellow democrats as to the possibility
of a presidential candidate from
North Dakota The State says:
1T is doubtful if any political stu
dent seriously regards the talk OF
Governor Burke for president. With
out entering into any other branch OF
the question. it must be recalled by
those who reflect that men are chosen
on the national ticket for the strength
that they can produce, for what cleo
toral votes they will come nearest to
securing. Political conventions look
to the state from which favorite
son comes and around that state they
begin to base their estimates. North
Dakota has four electoral votes. At
the coming election she will probably
have five. No man has ever been
chosen for the national ticket of eth
er of the great parties in the last
fifty years who hailed from state
which offered so little. And the DEM
ocracy will hardly do this now. 1t is
hard to conceive of any cause which
would be sufficient to make the next
democratic national convention come
to North Dakota for a candidate on
the. national ticket. 1t is also prob
able that no one knows this disposi.
ton of national conventions more
than does Governor Burke. In every
state you will find men being boosted
as favorite sons for the presidency or
the vice-presidency. Idaho will have
one. So will Rhode Island. New
York, Massachusetts, Ohio, Pennsyl
vania and Indiana will probably have
men who will be urged. Missouri
may have three. But it can be stated
with reasonable assurance that no
one from North Dakota will be chos
en- for either place on the ticket. 1t
is feared that over-zealous friends of
the governor of this state may yet
contribute to his embarrassment"

The Oriain Of Oxygen.

That eminent scientist Lord Kelvin
maintained that all the oxygen in the
atmosphere probably originated from
the action Of sunlight upon plants.
When our earth was globe Of hot
liquid it contained no vegetable fuel
and probably no free oxygen. But as
It cooled of plants appeared on its
surface. and these began to evolve
oxygen through the medium Of the
sunbeams. Upon the oxygen thus de-
rived we depend for the maintenance
Of life by breathing. When we burn
coal or other vegetable fuel we use up
oxygen, and it is to plants again that
We owe the restoration Of the oxygen
thus lost to the air. II they failed to

phere would gradually part with its
oxygen. and the Inhabitants Of the
earth would disappear in consequence

Tho exr,usivsns,, Of Caste.

An English officer who some years
ago was wounded in a battle in India
and left lying all night among the ma
tive dead and wounded tells this story:
"Next morning we spied man and an
old woman. who came to us with a
basket and pot Of water. and to
every wounded man she gave piece
Of joaree bread from the basket and
drink from her water pot. To US she
gave the same, and thanked heaven
and her. But the Soobahdar was

an was a Chumar, or Of the lowest
caste, he would receive neither water
nor bread from her. tried to per-
suade him to take it that he might
live. but he said that in our state, with
but a few hours more to linger, what
was a little more or less suffering to
us-why should he give up his fate
for such an object? No: he preferred
70 die unpolluted."

RAILROAD ECONOMIES.

Wall Street Journal: The Northern
Pacific earnings for June will show
a gain in the gross Of $65O,OOO, most
of which was saved for the net.
Freight earnings increased $427,0OO,
and passenger earnings increased
$4,000, and passenger earnings in
creased $4,000. June is splendid
month for the Northern Pacific, and
the unexpectedly large returns OF
last June will give better totals to
the Forthcoming annual report than
previous official estimates would In
dicate.
July earnings almost held their
own. which was rather more than had
been expected in view of the enor-
nous passenger business year ago.
The Seattle exposition was a magnet
to thousands of tourists who had de-
ferred trips to various parts OF the
west. Freight traffic also was heavy.
The freight earnings for the hrSt
three weeks of last month increased
$4,000, while the passenger earnings
decreased $15O,OOO. First-class travel
has begun to shrink.
The Northern Pacific management
has begun or arranged to begin a
series of economies in anticipation OF
general business contraction, indica-
tons of which are multiplying. One
of these economies affects the pas
senger department., which handles
more through business than that OF
any other northern transcontilental
road. Several thousand passenger
train miles a day will be Topped on
shortly. Track forces will be reduced

WHAT ALFALFA MEANS.

Fargo Forum: There are no skep-
tics among the newspaper men who
were recently at Williston as to the
value of alfalfa as a crop in North
Dakota. The editors were given an
occular demonstration Of the way IT.
rigated soil produces the crop. 1t was
a convincing one.
Alfalfa has been tried in the state
for some years with more or less
success. The chief trouble appears
to have been in securing the proper
kind of seed and the preparation OF
the soil. The crop has been profit
able wherever good stand has been
secured. 1t is rapidly growing in
favor with the farmers and every year
sees an increased number seeding 1t.
In the irrigated belt at Williston
it seems to be the favorite crop. The
alfalfa lands there had been cut twice
and another is to be harvested. On
the irrigated lands the average crop
is four tons per acre, though on some
fields five tons are cut.
The farmers estimate the hay at
SIS per ton. If they can't sell it at
that price they can easily realize that
and more by feeding it. At four tons
per acre the value of the crop is $50
per acre. The water rights cost the
property owners annually about $3.50
for the first ten years-with 20
cents an acre for maintenance OF
bitches and so cents per acre foot for
water, or Is cents for a foot and a
half of water during the season. This
makes a total cost of $3.50 per acre
for irrigating the land, leaving al
most SIS for the alfalfa crop-less
the cost of cutting and stacking. At
ter the first ten years the cost of If.
rigation will be only one-third to one
half the original figures.
The alfalfa improves with age, and
the fields will yield more after twen-
ty years than at first. If the farmers
want to turn the alfalfa under and
grow wheat the land always produces
from 50 to 100 per cent more wheat
than land that had not been in the
crop. Alfalfa adds nitrates to the soil
and increases it's fertility.

Taft Making Arrangements for Trip
to Panama CANALS Working on
Rough Draft of Next Message to
Congress-Weeks Has Been Making
Complete Tour Of West Recently.

By associated Press
Beverly, Mass, Aug. 1.-THE Mex1
lean ambassador, Senior De La Barra,
visited President Taft for half an hour
this afternoon. He returns home soon
and same to pay his leave taking re-
spects to the executive.
The president was most cordial in
his greetings and apparently enjoyed
the informal chat which followed.
1T is an inspiration to my people,
said the ambassador after his call,
ito know that Mexico has such a
warm. good friend as President Taft.
The president always is most gracious
and his cordially today was an evil
dence of the sincerity of the relations
existing between the United States
and Mexico"
Representative John w. Weeks of
Massachusetts. one of the keen polit-
ical observers OF the republican party,
reported to President Taft this after
noon the impressions he had gained
from a recent trip through Minnesota,
Montana. Washington, California and
other western states. He declared
that everything looked bright for re-
publican successes at the polls this
fall.
Mr.. Weeks said that despite the
recent events in Kansas and Iowa the
middle west is swinging into line for
the administration and will give a
good account of ITSELF
Secretary of the Navy Meyer paid
brief call at Burgess Point this af-
ternoon and had a preliminary talk
with the president regarding his trip
to Panama in November. The details
of the trip are to be arranged later.
1t seems to be settled, however, that
the president will sail from Charles
ton. thus avoiding the treacherous
waters around Cape Hatteras.
The new schedule of seeing visitors
only on Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays goes into effect next week:
The president will devote the of days
to Office work and the rough draft of
his message to congress.

REAL SPORT FOR FISHERMEN
Of the Port of Vera Cruz Sharks Are
Harpooned-Put Up Good
Fight.

The shark fishing season is on here
now and furnishes quite a pastime for
those addicted to such dangerous
sports. The sharks seem to be bolder
than usual, very large ones coming
into the bay, while generally they
keep out toward the entrance.
Yesterday quite a large one was
caught from one of the piers. II
measured over two meters in length
and caused quite an exciting battle
before the fishermen got the second
harpoon into it. This morning an-
other much larger one was caught by
some fishermen III boat. 1t was only
subdued after a hard struggle and
finally towed alongside the sea wall
and hoisted out with a derrick The
animal was near three meters long
and was still alive after being hoisted
out onto the dock aid it slashed
around at lively rate. causing the
crowd that had gathered to see it 70
scatter in all directions to avoid its
enormous tail. After being killed the
animals liver was removed and Il
measured more than three feet in
length This furnishes a very fine

purposes.-Vera Cruz Correspondence

San Pedro.

1t would be difficult to find great
the Seaman's Bethel, on Rattlesnake
island, close to the port of San Pedro,
off the coast of California 1t is the
decayed and weather beaten hulk of
an old ship that used to ply the salt
seas. Becoming unseaworthy it was
beached, made fast with cables and
transformed into church.
The Seaman's Bethel is a mission
church that come into San Pedro har-
Dor and of the fishermen of Rattle
snake island. All the machinery and
seagoing fixtures have been removed
from the old hulk and the rooms amid
ships that used to open into the en-.
CINE room have been combined into
the assembly hall.
The after deck has been boarded
in and transformed into reading
room Tables and chairs, with Tany
books, magazines and newspapers,
give the place a homelike appearance,
and here the sailors of the Seven
Seas. with human derelicts from many
lands, congregate in the afternoons
and evenings to find out what is going
on in the great world.
Really the Seaman's Bethel is a
sort of institutional church. The aft
er part of the hold has been fitted up
as a gymnasium. Here also is bowl
ing alley and in another corner are
bathtubs and water heater. Anoth

Architects are applying themselves
assiduously to the problem of sup
plying the demand for moderate cost
homes. In all parts of the country
more houses of what might be ca led
the middle class are being built than
other styles. The designs show orig
inality and in every case there is
evident the effort to make housekeep-
ing easier, in fact, a pleasure Too
often it is found that interior con-
venience is sacrificed to exterior orna-
mentation. Many times more effort is
given to mere show than to utility
and convenience.
The days of the old parlor are past
The old parlor was a room shut off

the dead line at the doorway there
