plLwoRTA EXTENSION.


Al committee Of Fargcans Is In Chi
cage interviewing H. M. Byilesby, the
head OF the company, which recently
purchased the Fargo g. Moorhead
street railway. The object Of the trip
"a to get the new owners to- extend the
line to Dilwortn,
1t is q well known fact that-after
Jan. 1.-THE N. p. has decided to drop
it's shop train. Hundreds of former
Fargo residents have already moved TO
Dilworth. Many other employees Of the
Northern Pacific will be compelled to
do so--unless the electric line Is ex-
tended.
With an electric line In operation
many OF those who are already over
there would return to Fargo. Those
still here would remain.
The proprietors Of the department
stores. the ciotfliers the groeerA the
n,eatmarkee men, realize what the ex-
odus to Moorhead has meant. They
also see what ID will mean if all the
sallroad forces are compelled to move
The extension OF the line will mean
q continuation oe present trade and
perhaps the recovery OF considerable
Eronnd already lost. For the retail
Trade of Fargo the extension is very
important.
1t is hoped the committee will be
able to make such q showing that the
new owners will decide to put in the
extension at once.

BOOK FARMING.


The Chicago InteF-Ocean had the
following editorial:
There was a time-and 1t was not
very many years ago-when book
farming and book farmers were
seoffed and sneered at. In this as well
az other countries, by the great ma
1ority of those engaged in agricultural
pursuits.
Today agriculture Is universally re-
Earded as a science. 1t is doubtful IL
eny other has so many students. The
farmer who does not seek TO learn all
ne can from books Is the rare excep-
tton--and the exception is the one
scofted at now.
We have a right to be proud of the
fact that the science of agriculture has
made greater strides in recent years in
the United States than In any other
country. The work Of our federal de-
pertinent Of agriculture has been sup
plemented by that OF state. county and
township institutions. by our untverst-
ties and colleges and our public
schools, particularly the latter in rural
Districts.
The prime cause or the nigh price Of
hv1ng Isl said to be found in the fact
that the agricultural products Of this
world have not kept pace with the in
crease In population. The conditions
Fri the United States are generally
known. but we are interested In what
IN being done in other countries to
FMtse bigger and better crops, more and
better live stock poultry and bees, be-
emuas the worlds supply and demand

THE TATTooEn

Civilization. or good taste, has scored
once more over tradition and rudimen-
tary romantic Ideals.
The police in New York have arrest
ed q champion "tattooed man." and a
Judge has sentenced him to the peni-
tentiary for year.
In court the man testified that he
had spent much time and money in
getting tattooed-that for a time he
prospered at the trade Of being tat
tooed-but now, he admitted. the de-
mand for tattooed men is rather linn
tied.
Is this to be the end OF the pic
turesque barbarity which thrilled the
souls of boys of an earlier generation?
Who is there that does not recall
the tale Of the sea-in which there was
q sunny harbor--a long stretch Of
sands-an upturned yawi--an odor Of
salt and fisn--guT-s wIngIng overhead
snd quiet sail far out on the horizon
Yes, ard an old sea dogv-with tam
ned throat and arms-and delightful
ly wicked eye-and speech just like the
speech in all the books--and an an
ehor tattooed on his biceps. or on his
massive chest? II 1T wasn't an an
ehor, it might be a starnsh-or ever
q whole lady" with incredible hips
The lady was preferable. because tina
was more wicked than anything else.
The word which comes from New
York is, therefore, disquieting. AL
can remember the reinsurance Of tn
song in the comic opera
It's perfectly true you can beat tat
too,
But you can't beat tattooed man.
Is the tattooed man to be beaten a
last?

RETURNS FROM MAINE.

The governor and council in Maine
have eanwassed the official returns on
the special election in Maine and find
a majority of twenty-six in favor Of
the repeal of the prohibition clause in
the Maine constitution. This is the
official count and the one that governs.
In Maine the law provides that the
judges of election shall count the vote
in every precinct and place the returns
in a sealed envelope which Is mailed to
the governor and council-and Is not
to be opened by them for several weeks
after election. That ia the ofieial count
that governs However, the law makes
it also the duty to send to the secretary
of state the same returns. He can
open them at once and announce the
result. The secretary of states re-
turns showed the repeal of the prohi-
bitten amendment carried by 1s6, The
official count of the governor and coun-
ell cuts this down to twenty-six. At
any rate both of these figures indicate
the repeal Of the prohibition amend
ment. This is not the first time that a
referendum vote has been taken on the
repeal OF that amendment The same
question was submitted to the voters In
Maine in 1884. a quarter OF q century
ago. At that election 6s.ssa voters cast
their ballot in favor of keeping proht-
bition In the constitution and 23,2s5
voted in favor Of the repeal. The
change Of opinion is very striking.
The vote in Maine does not mean
that saloon license law or local OPP
tion law win prevail in Maine in ths
future--though such result Is vers
likely. II simply means that the legis-
lature may pass such laws If ma
iarity see At. The constitutional pro-
hibition was designed to prevent this
legislature passing such law even 1
a majority of the legislature should
ever wish to do so. The removal o.
this clause from the constitution meFe-
~ makes It easy for the will OF thu
majority to prevail-with reference t.
license or no license in the state. Main'
has now followed in the footsteps o
Vermont in repudiating CONSTITUTIONS

UNDERWOOD is THEIR CANDI

while the democrats Of Alabama
have no great hope that Oscar Under

that il will direct serious attention

If Mr.. Underwood had remained in

have attained greater prominence as a
