BRING THE FARM
CLOSER TO TOWN
Hood Roads and Improved
Methods of Travel

That a new movement for de-
velopment and progress on the
farm is successfully under wav is
manifested by the gatherings of
this winter all over the country.
There are being held in nation,
in states, in counties, and even in
townships, conventions for good
seed, good roads, conservation Of
natures resources, farmers inSti-
tutes, discussing all features of
farm life, stock shows, poultry
shows, etc. The whole trend of
This movement is to find out the
best way to do all these thingS-and
then do hem.
YAs, the great northwest is
awakening. Particularly is this
manifest in the good roads move
ment. Minnesota plans upon eX-
pending 81, 100000 a year for good
roads. And Iowa is now making a
good road clear across the state
from the Mississippi river to the
Missouri river. Our own state
legislature at Pierre has a good
roads bill prepared by a good roads
state convention. This bill passed
the house last week by three To one,
and will doubtless pass the senate.
There is no place in the WOrlu
where roads can be made easier, or
at less cost than over pralrieS of
South Dakota. A simple oval grade,
and smoothed after each rain with a
King drag, to shed the water and
there you are. It's so simple that we
may well ask ourselves why we
have not got good roads every
where. Enough time and money
has probably been frittered away
with a little dab here and another
one there tn have made several good
roads in every county of the state
during the past twenty-five years.
To the mind Of this writer there
is no one thing Of so great impor-
tance TO SO many people as this
question of good roads. Where one
person uses a railroad, fly, use the
wagon road; where n ton is hauled
by the railroad, two or three pass
over the wagon road. Railroads

several miles apart, while good
70 ads could be had and are needed
everywhere. The mar who lives on
a farm ten to twenty miles from
market, may never b. any nearer
TO a railroad-until he begins a
systematic effort for improved
roads. And when he accomplisheS
this he will bring his farm
nearer to market. The man who
can haul 80 bushels of grain to
towl over a poor road in four hours
would certainly bring his farln
closer to town if he could haul
100 bushels in three hours over a
good road. And this can be done

WOMEN MAKE A DISCOVERY

The sutfragettes have returned
and are somewhat excited over the
discovery that they are entitled TO
hold office. Section 8. article 7 of
the Constitution of the state grants
them this privilege except as
otherwise provided" Other pro-
visions OF the instrument state that
the governor, lieutenant governor,
supreme court judges and members
of the legislature must be electors.
This would Indicate that all officers
of the state, other than these, could
be held by women. as there is moth
ing in the constitution indicating
that they must be held by voters.
The plan is said to be to demand
attention by putting a ticket in the

there was no great gain in numbers OF

northwest began to develop. Since that
time Ontario and Quebec have also
grown. Not in rural population fol
they had no room as all arabic land had
been occupied years before, but the
cities began and have continued to
grow because Manitoba, Saskatchewan,
Alberta and British Columbia have
grown.
Ontario has controlled this election

these there will be large per centage OF

Reciprocity has been beaten ia Can
ada but the annexation idea has just
taken its place. The later is sure to
grow as it has been growing for several
years. 1t is quite possible however, that
in the time to come, that history
may repeat itself, by Canada voting ia
annex herself to the Uuited States.and
then for the Uulted States to reject the
proposal. Such would be the case now,
and there will hava IN ho nono;da..hl.

THE EFFECT OF THE DEFEAT
OF RECIPROCITY ON PRICES,

"The markets are on domestic basis
is . significant sentence in the caity mar.
ket letters and reports Of the Twin City
papers, since last Friday. That sen,
tence tells the whole story and confirms
the claims Of this paper and other op.
ponents Of the reciprocity treaty, that
the opening Of the Minneapolis grain
markets to the free importation of Can
adian wheat would depress our prices
to the Canadian Niverpool) prices.
The abrupt rise in the Minneapolis
markets on Friday Of about six cents
and increasing on following days proved
that because the Minneapolis dealers
had believed that reciprocity was a GER
tainty, that they had already discounted
the effect and reduced our natural
prices to the level of Liverpool.
It is one Of the satisfactory consequen-
ces of the Canadian election that this
part OF the controversy has been SO
clearly proven. II had gone the other
way, the argument would always have
been that Canadian had risen to our
level because of the supposed certainty
that would carry. and there would have
been no direct method Of dlsproving it.
But when wheat has gone up ten
cents ana barley thirty cents, while
Winnipeg quotes practically no change,
there isn't any further argument needed
to prove what it meant to North Dakota
il reciprocity had won over in Canada.

1t is not an extravagant guess that
the farmers Of North Dakota alone,
have now in their fields and granaries
40, 100000 bushels Of wheat. Ten cents
q bushel on this quantity means four
millions Of dollars. When to this is add
ed the amount Of difference in the prices
of barley, oats and other farm products
we think seven millions Of dollars is
about the amount the farmers of North
Dakota will be able to divide among
themselves as sort of gift from our
good natured cousins across the line,
just on the crops on hand this year.

THE GHOST OF RECIPROCITY.

While the sentiment for and against
reciprocity divided both political part.
les on this sside Of the line, yet since the
Canadian election the sentiment here is
unanimous that the Canadians have
thrown awaw a big financial and econ
omic advantage, without any correspond
ing benefit in other directions.
Z Surely il the are SO awfully loyal to
England as the vots would seem toshow,
they did not need to fear that an ad-
vantageous trade pact with Uncle Sam
would make them disloyal. In this part
of the issue they simply proved their
fear Of their own disloyalty. They were
evidently afraid Of themselves.
The domination of the @. p. Il. and
Grand Trunk railways has been matter
Of the strongest political criticism in
Canada and yet last Thursday they vot-
ed to keep out American railways.
For years the Canadian farmers have
paid exorbitant prices for American
machinery and tools, but it is evident
that they prefer to pay the bigger price.
To the United States the defeat or
acceptance of the reciprocity pact meant
but little. In some localities, like this
of ours, there would have been consider
able difference in the prices of cereals,
but in the country at large but little
notice would have been taken.
In Canada the result will be felt for
many years to come. Many American
papers say that reciprocity is dead. We
prophesy, that while that may be true
as aliving question, yet its ghost will be
travelling up from the east to the west
and from the west to east in the Domin-
ion, for the next twenty years if not
longer. Is
