The campaign of Senator La
Toilette for the presidency is be-
ing felt all over the country. Even
in President Taft's own state, the
machine leaders are calling to save
them from the LaFollette invasion.
One of them makes an appeal to
Roosevelt to come out for the
presidency. to save his state and
the nation from this terrible man,
LaFollette. The machine leaders
find that as the people study the
life and achievements of the Wis
oonsin statesman, they cannot find
aught against him. and thousands
are flocking to his standard. La
Toilette has a record, both in
private and public life, that will
bear the closest scrutiny. The
laws Of Wisconsin put on the
statute books by LsFollette are
models that are being patterned
after in other states of the Union-
They are not destructive. but con-
struotive. 1t 10 the same impress

convention to keep it divided, be-

The Real Value Of
n. Dakota Lands

Farm Lands In This State And The
Cheap Lands Of Canada, Show
Latter are Dear
Devils Lake World: Cheaper
lands have been the means of in
duoing many good farmers in this
state to sell their lands here and
remove to Canada in the belief.
that better returns may be accom-
plished by the cultivation Of
cheaper land which can be obtained
there but a careful mathematical
consideration of the subject and
facts connected therewith reveals
the fact that under present condit-
ions by the cultivation of say three
acres for example to equal amounts
of wheat, fax and barley under the
same conditions for ten years that
the difference in the prices received
here for the grain produced would
net the producer in ten years $40
per acre.
This does not seem possible at
first thought but here are the facts:
At Hansboro, n. D., today large
quantities of wheat are being
marketed for many miles across
the Canadian border which is
bought in bond at IA cents per
bushel under the price of North
Dakota wheat, large quantities of
fax and barley are also being
marketed at the same point from
Canada after paying a duty of 2
cents per bushel for fax and 35
cents for barley.
Wheat, Is bushels at IA
cents differedce per acre s 2 10
Fax, 20 bushels at Is
cents difference per acre 5 90
Barley, 40 bushels at IS
cents difference per acre IA OO
Total for 8 acres $yl 90
A trifle over an average of 81 per
acre each year and for ten years
$40 per acre and the fact that this
grain is being hauled long dis
tance to obtain these prices is con-
elusive that were it marketed at
their home market the price would
be yet smaller and the expense of
hauling the grain a long distance
must also be taken into considera.
ton, and everything the farmer
has to buy in the way of machinery
in Canada is much higher in price
than here.
From this it would appear to us
that our lands in Ramsey county
are today better. valued at $40 an
acre than the same land across the
border at nothing, and where lands
are found across the border which
produce greater yields than ours it
will be found that as we'll as q yet
lower market there will be found
frost danger and Inconvenience to
market, to more than Offset the
difference in yield; then why sell
your land here at any price to buy
land at from $l5 to $40 an acre in
Canada?

LIGHTNING KILLS FEW

In 1906 lightning killed only 1916
people in this whole country. Ones
chances of death by lightning are
less than two in a million. The
chance of death from liver, kidney or
stomach trouble is vastly greater, but
not if Electric Bitters be used, as
Robert Madsen, of Yves, burlington.
Ia, proved. Four doctors gave him
up after eight months OF suffering
from virulent liver trouble and yell
low jaundice. He was then com
pletely cured by Electric Bitters.

apparently there has been no develop

Soldiers from the japanese legation

A CONVENTION IN NEAR FUTURE

SUN VAT SEN WILL ACCEPT
He Has Agreed to Be China's First
President If the New Body Will
Confirm His Election to the Office
Troope Not to Advance.

Shanghai.-The peace conference
being held here between the repres-
entatives of the Picking government
and the revolutionary party agreed
that the form of government to be
ultimately adopted for China should
be decided by a national convention
whose determination should be bind
ing on both parties. 1t also was
agreed that pending the decision of
the national convention the Manchu
government was neither to accept nor
to attempt to obtain foreign loans.
Another agreement reached is that
all Manchu troops in the provinces
Of Shan-Si-Si, Hu-Peh, Nganwei and
Kiangsu shall evacuate their present
positions and withdraw from them to
distance of 100 Ii (about 81 miles,
within five days, beginning from De-
cember 81.
The Republican troops, meanwhile,
shall neither advance nor occupy the
places evacuated pending special ar
rangen.ents to be reached by mutual
agreement. The Manchu troops are
not to advance nor to attack the po-
sitions at Shantung held by the Re-
pubicans nor shall the Republican
troops advance upon nor capture new
places.

convention to be called is to include
those delegates ct present in confer
ence at Marking who have elected
