TAKE A LOOK.

Editors, We call your attention, dur
ing your stay with us in the city, to
the fact that surrounding Devils Lake
Is sample Of the finest farming coun-
try the sun shines On from the Canad-
ian border to the Gulf Of Mexico We!
wish that every visitor here during the
days OF the press meeting could travel
Through the great eXpanse OF territory
tAe city.
Were it possible for you to do SO, you
would see one broad, smooth, and
seemingly boundless stretch OF green
fields, farm lands bursting with life
and vitality, covered with wheat that
has stand OF forty bushels per acre,
dotted with splendid farm houses, big
red barns, and protected with the
groves that make this section famous
for its beauty and wind-protected
homes. You would see a country, which
during the next five years is going to
make more fortunes than any portion
of the northwest, country that boasts
OF as rich a soil as can be found any
where in the Red River valley and,
with that richness, a natural system
of drainage that makes our lands
superior to any agricultural combina-
ton to date
? Don't take our word for it. Go out
J from the city and see. And when
you return you viii know the reason
why Devils Lake is just on the TIRES
hold Of its growth. You will know why
In the next five years this city with
its strategical advantage as a distribut-
L ing point for the state, with its farm
ing territory the most productive in
the state, and with its energetic, hustl-
4 ing population, will reach and pass
the ten thousand mark with scarcely
an effort. Here are commercial OPP
portunities. Here are openings for
4 noney-making business concerns, fol
all that goes to #mokes prosperous
and advancing community. When you
4 turn your gaze from the level green
i stretches Of the Red River valley and

B confines OF the Slope country, if yor
want exceptional growth, exceptional
opportunity, and exceptional com
/ mercia1 advantages, fix your eye on tht

POPULAR ELECTION.

At the present time the senate is
struggling with the bill for the popular
election Of senators. Apparently sIlis
measure, side tracked, smothered. ssia-
ed and ehloroformed for years is at last
to emerge from oblivion and become
q Law. Every state in the union almost
through both OF the leading political
parties has declared for this measure.
The press has shouted itself hoarss
for decades for it. public opinion S
unanimous in favor. Of it and has been
so for years-and at last the senate
moves & y .,e# T. ~
There are two things In connection
with this bill which are worthy of
notice. One relates to the inertia OF
the senate and loads directly to the
second, the great crying need for the
change which now is coming, the max
ing OF the senate responsive TO the
will OF the people -
For decades the senate has stood
as the guard OF the Old order of things.
The senate has been the home OF the
conservative thought and political dog
ma of the capital 1t has been the
nesting place of SNUG respectabiIitE
and the reward for conspicuous ser
vice to the Interests. It has lofdly
considered itself above the control Of
the common people. The reason has
been that the election OF its members
| was SO far removed from the control
OF the people that they inevitably
were chosen by the workings OF some
! political machine and not by popular
! selection. AS result the chances of
| getting men who truly represented
! their constituents was almost nil. The
senate became the bulwark Of stand
patism, the breast work of intrenched
interests. 1t became the stone wall
against which reform and progress
bumped their heads with amusing re
gularity. The senate was so CON
stituted that it was constitutionally
averse to progress - it's motto
was LET well enough alone" and 1t got
Ipeeyed whenever it was asked to hurry
To remedy this situation men found
the they might talk themselves hoarse
might wall and shout and cry for re
lief to no avail. They finally decided
that the only way to change the ma
ture and character of the workings
of the senate was to change the char
acter of the members. The result was
that they turned to popular election
of senators with the hope of making
:, senators truly responsive to popular
will. When the senate has been re
made and reconstructed through ths
medium of popular election we ma,
then look for quick definite action il
response to the needs of our people.

CHEER UP

Grand Forks Herald: 4 message from
one OF the regular grain exchange
dealers says that Senator McCumber
has said that the reciprocity bill would
pass the senate by something like a
tWo-thirds majority. This places the
majority a little higher than it has
been placed in the newspaper esti-
mates, which. therefore, appear to be
quite conservative. Mr.. McCumber
cannot be accused of trying to in
fuence sentiment in favor of the bill,
for he has opposed it as vigorously as
| he could. All the information avail
able is to the effect that the bill viii
pass, and it is expected to pass with
out amendment. That being the case,
would it not be wise for the North
Dakota papers who are opposed to it
to discontinue their advertising-gra-
tis-of the Canadian northwest at the
expense of our own state? We have
been told by several of these papers
Nv
their judgment that it costs so much
more to farm in North Dakota than
across the line in proportion to yields
| that the North Dakota farmer has
absolutely no chance in free competi-
tino Much that has been published
along this line has been the most alb
surd exaggeration. Now accepting
the fact that reciprocity is to become
a fact, are we ready to sell out for a
song and leave the country, or do we
Ireally believe that we have a pretty
good country after all? There is ev.

We are raising three times as much

THE BIGGEST EVER.

Senator McCumber in his eagerness

Prof Boyle took occasion to remark
that the coal deposits of the state
amounted to hill of beans or words
to that effect. He went further and
paid a glowing tribute to the Canadian

the poor worked soil Of North Dakota,
from which the state would be ten
years in recovering were such state
ment to come from any but the lips of

Being slightly interested in North

ADVICE FOR DAIRYMEN.

The use of the state score card in
determining the conditions of diaries
was discussed at meeting of state
dairy officials and Ramsey county
dairymen in the Office of DR.. Howard
Lancaster, health commissioner. The
score cards will be used by the ST.
Paul dairy inspector, H. Burnham, in
checking up dairy conditions in Ram
sey county, and the dairymen were
told how the scoring will be done.
The condition of the stables, how the
nerds are kept, and how the milking
is done are factors in determining the
points. The use of these cards also
will enable the health department to
make accurate comparisons of dairies.
DR.. Lancaster said last night dairy
conditions in st. Paul are fairly salts
factory and he believed the dairymen
are cooperating with the department
in making them as clean as possible.

LAW PROTECTS WHITTIER.
Reform School Superintendent Ha.
Right to Whip UnruIy Boys.

St. Paul. = G.. Louis Weeks, the
assistant attorney general, in an opill-
ion given the state board of control.
held that superintendent Whittier OF
the state training school for boys at
Red wing could not be removed from
ONCE for error of judgment in the in
fiction of corporal punishment to the
inmates under his charge If such pun
ishment were given without malice.
This opinion is considered point in
Mr.. Whittier's favor, and is taken to
mean his exoneration at the hands of
the board of control. Mr. Weeks at
tended the hearings of the Red Wing
investigation before the board of con-
troll, and after its completion the
board submitted a series of questions
covering the legal points of the case.
The principal questions were on Mr..
Whittier's rights as guardian of the
states charges, his right to inf1ict cor
poral punishment and an interpreta-
ton OF the state law governing cor
poral punishment The specific ques-
ton was asked whether Mr.. Whittier
parent over hts charges or whether
his relations to them were that of a
jailer or warden.
Mr.. Weeks holds that his relation is
that of a parent and that he has the
right to inflict corporal punishment,
and that he could not be held liable
for inf1icting such punishment if it
were used in a reasonable and mod
crate manner or if it were used to ex-
cess, but without malice.
The board asked the question point
blank whether Mr.. Whittier could be
removed from Office if, in the judg-
ment of the board, lesser punish
ment in kind and degree would have
been sufficient, provided that no NAL
ice were shown and no permanent in
jury resulted. This question was an
swered in the negative. Mr.. Weeks
said that to do so would be substitute
ing the judgment of the board for the
rule of law under which Mr.. Whittier
was entitled to protection. Mr.. Weeks
also held that Mr.. Whittier could not
be held responsible for the unlawful
act committed by subordinate.
