NOT WORRYING.

The farmers are taking the matter
of short crop very philosophically and
seem to take it as a matter of course
that it had to be. In many ceses they
are blowing under the crops and
getting everything in readiness for a
bumper next year. By blowing early
they get the advantage of a summer
fallow and will have everything in
readiness and the ground in the best
possible condition to receive the seed
next spring.
The farmers of North Dakota have
no cause to complain. The crops taken
year after year have been pretty good,
and most of the people are prepared
to meet the present condition and go
through it with little if any hardship.
1T means little more economy for a
few years, some persistent work and
all will come out right. The soil is
here, the conditions are here and all
it needs is the proper work of the till
er of the soil and the North Dakota
dirt will do the rest.

necessary to read the following sent

CALIFORNIA; OPPORTUNITY,

California today faces a UNIQUE and
pregnant situation in her political life.
A fierce war is on between the South
ern Pacific Railroad and the Lincoln
Roosevelt League All the corrupt-
7ng, privilege seeking forces of the
state are arrayed solidly with the S. P,
agents who seek to throttle this at
tempt at freeing state politics from
corporate control. On the other side
stand the honest, progressive citizens
who fought Ruef and Schmitz with
Heney and Spreckels in the DAYS of
the Graft Prosecution in Frisco.
California is fortunate in having the
Issue placed squarely before the peo-
pie. There are no ifs and ands this
time. Hiram Johnson for Governor
means a crushing blow to Southern
Pacific interests. He means clean
politics, honest government and an
end to the corrupting, paralyzing in
duence of Corporation Control coupled
with the Votes of Vice in San Francis
co always waiting to be delivered to
the highest bidder. There have been
corrupt state in this country during
the past decades. There have been
slavishly, subservient people from
Maine to the Pacific. But never has
there been a state as corrupt as
California or people as subservient to
corporation politics as her people.
II honest institutions and hope in the
permanency of our government are to
continue, 1t would seem that Califor-
mans must at this time rise and as
sert their power. May the guiding
Hight of our political destiny be with
the peoples choice in this Californian
battle.

1.-The common stories that we pass

than twenty-five good original anecdot-

can nearly all be traced to the Greeks.

Evolution was taught by Democritus

that some old object has been found
out by us. Steam made the lids Of
the kettle jump before Watts or
Stephenson's time. Blood circulated

This thing of running to Roosevelt
with everything is getting painful.
Both factions of the republican party
are making fools of themselves by
posing in his presence and trying to
gain his endorsement of certain men
or his approval of matters of poll
teal expediency If Roosevelt es-
capes without a severe attack of the
"big-head' he is a greater man than
was ever Caesar or Napoleon Roose-
welt is private citizen of the repub-
lie and one of the great men of earth,
probably the greatest living man to-
day, certainly the foremost citizen of
this republic, but this does not add
dignity to the constant fawning and
sycophancy that is now going on.
Down deep in his heart Roosevelt
doubtless thinks he is being played
for chump. The republican party
needs the advice and counsel of Its
leader but to make a visit to Oyster
Bay and return with smile" looks
cheap and disgusting. Roosevelt has
thus far stood the ordeal with amaz-
ing courage and forbearance.
