THE EXTRA SESSION, TAFT AND
y RECIPROCITY

1T LOOKS as ii Mr.. Taft had gone
over bag and baggage to the
newspaper lntereS.S. Wherefor-
else can one even remotely guess a
reason Tor his cal ing Congress in ex-
traordinary session for the passage OF
the Canauian Reciprocity agreement
The Democrats are not waning that
extra session, preterring 20 wait until
the regular assembling OF Congress
next Fail for its consideration OF tariff
questions. The Republicans are not
waning that extra session. for the Re-
pubncans by a great majority are not
only opposed to he reciprocity agree
ment, but to any tinkering with tariff
matters at all. The extra session is
certainly not called in the interest oi
the uLtima.e consumers TOR the Presi-
dent himself has again and again de-
clared that this reciprocity agreement
Will bring no reduction in, the cost OF
living in the near future. W therefore,.
is he then SO bent on forcing this
agreement through. as that he must
forsooth call Congress in extra session
for this single purpose? One and only
one conclusion seems reasonable-tn,
President is needing the demands OF
the public press, which is (as we have
pointed out heretofore) determined
on securing the reciprocity agreement
III the interest OF cheaper print paper.
The newspapers, OF a certain type, are
running a close second to the Sensa-
tionai magazines, III their aenuncla-
ton OF legislation that is procured by
the interests" Well, it would be dit
tlcult TO conceive OF an interest that
is mucn more o. an interest than the
american press-and certainly it would
be impossible to conceive OF an in

teiigent questioners are asking where

OF State and county officials. In fact
it will bring two elections, as the State
wide primary obligatory on both par

The whole ticket OF each party, from
Governor to County Surveyor, must
be selected in the direct primary vote,
without the intervention Oh delegates
or nominating conventions. Any man
who desires may be a candidate afor
Governor or any other office, provid-
ed he has, and will expend, the money
necessary to conduct a primary con-
test. 1nis means that every candidate
must go through two campaigns, with
al the labor and expense incident
thereto. This is where the new pri-
mary law works hardship; and where
also Tin our local elections at least) it
will doubtless prove embarrassing in
the securing of acceptable candidates.
1t is hard enough at any time to get
busy and successful men to accept pub
lie Office, or accept candidacy therefor
1t will be all the harder when these
men realize that direct primary en-
tails a two-fold canvass.
The same difficulty arises in the
mind OF the poor man or the man OF
moderate means who may be thinking
OF becoming candidate for some pub
lie Office. The new law, while claim
ing to- give every man chance, vir-
tually disbars the man who cannot al
ford the time and money for a double
canvass. This is especially true in the
matter of the State offices. What
chance would poor man, lor instance,
have in the race for Gubernatorial
nomination? The race would have to
be mostly at his personal expense, for
until his nomination he is not the can
didate of his party. What man OF Inn
tied means could afford the race? This
is only one OF the many practical OBJ
jections to the direct primary method
OF nominations. 1t has, plenty OF
others. Indeed il is hard to see what
advantages it can claim over the con-
vention system. As matter OF tac.
TINS direct primary business is partly
popular lad and partly the dema-

CITIES COMPARED.

Aurora, ILL.,, June Ito The Forums
How Fargo compares with Aurora,
ILL.,, city of $4,000 population.
Perhaps it is hardly fair to make
Aurora criterion of the usual run of
cities of its population, as it must be
remembered that it is within an houY' !;
ride OF Chicago and has an hourly jim
terurhan service. Therefore great
deal of it's business is done in Chicago
and large percentage OF its popula-
ton is employed there.
Three steam and two electric rail-
roads enter the city. It's business
section is no larger than that of Fasgo
and does not have the good appear
ance on account of the narrow road
ways and walks The car service is
no better than that OF Fargo in spite
Of it's size and small old fashioned
cars are used. The hotels, four all to-
gether, are not to be compared with
those In Fargo. This fact is surpris-
Ing too. for they seemed to be filled
at all times.
The postoffice. city hall, operahouse
and vaudeville theatre are not of the
same class as Fargos.
Its newspapers, two in number, are
cramped into small quarters. Fargo
Masons would be disappointed to see
the Masonic order occupying only
few rooms In an office building.
Aurora is what is generally termed
dead. 1t has ball team that man
ages to hold fifth place in the Wiscon-
sin-Illinois league and very pretty
amusement park that represents an
OUTLAY of about $4,000. Aurora is
located on small river, the Fox, that
furnishes waterpoWer for several
plants.
Aurora Is well lighted--being called
1.-THE city of lights"--by its citizens
and that city is to be commended for
its splendid concrete bridges which are
in the center Of the city They are
of a French design and add greatly to
the beauty Of the city. It's residents.
too, are beautiful and much pride is
felt at the general appearance of its
residence portion.
But a Fargoan, to look over this
town in the heart Of such a rich agri-
cultural section, would never suspect
it Of being city Of $4,000 people.
/ guess Fargo is some town.

when the soul is oppressed so is the

they weaken the body, which, without
the SOUL is dead. or like horse with
without driver. But when the heart
is at rest and quiet, then II takes care
OF the body and gives it what pertains
thereunto Therefore we ought to
abandon and resist anxious thoughts

eettina Rid Of pandsIions.

An effective method of Kidding a lawn
Of dandelions is to go over the yard
and put drop OF sulphuric acid from
medicine dropper into the heart of
each dandelion plant, being careful
not to touch the surrounding grass
with lit. One drop will be sufficient
to cause the death Of the roots of
small plant, but large plants of old
growth may need a second application.
If a lawn is watched carefully for
season or two and the sulphric acid
applied to all new plants, you may
soon rejoice in a dandelionless lawn.
Use caution in handling the sulphric
acid and do not let 1t touch your
skin.
