A oooDLY LAND.


North Dakotans have reason every
day to rejoice over their happy Local
ton. Select any spot and review its
record for the past year. Has the sun
set for single day when the bless
ings given this corner Of the universe
didn't exceed the troubles-by large
majority?
In making your plans for the coming
year remember that the greater part Of
your joys and troubles can be repeated
--or left out--as the individual wishes.
North Dakota might have had better
crops the past year. But when it is
considered they were better than the
year before--far greater than those
this year in other states--the people
have much over which to rejoice.
Farseans arc pulling together and
doing more for the city than at any
former period. The city Is more de
reetly interested IN the welfare of the
state than ever before. There is no
reason why Fargo and North Dakota
cannot work together--win together
and rejoice together.
Hustle, help each other-and win
would be good motto. 1t il good ev-
cry day In the year.

No more poems will come from the

alysis has rendered the hoosier poets

sorted TO the use of q literary secre-
tafy and this pathetic statement makes
it clear that his life work is ended:

the swing Of the meter. That's the
way I've always done it. and can't
learn a new way now. II tried 1t, the
verses would fall fiat.
For two years the beloved poet of the
masses has been an invalid. His
frailty prevented work and his admir-
ers knew the end was near. Now he is
bedridden most of the time and lives
chiefly in the memories of The Old
Swimmin' Hole. The Frost Is on The
and other homely verses--so
dear to all nature lovers.

A HEALTHY CHANGE.

Careful observers of the signs of the
times must be impressed with the
great national change during the past
year. It is decidedly noticeable in
North Dakota and Fargo-and must
impress itself on the general public
The central idea seems to be that the
country has decided on an intensive
development. 1t seems less concerned
with it's bigness and more SO with its
internal Improvement than ever before.
Qualityas well as quantity---is now
being given consideration. The growth
Of the United States has been so amaz-
Ing that II II 10 wonder the idea Of
blgness formerly held sway. In the
pride taken over that feature--the fact
that some upbuiIding must be done in
order to secure better foundations
was overlooked Men who did big
things were lauded with little thought
ab:to whether they were doing right.
In fact this was somewhat neces-
safy. The tree must be given an OPP
portunity 10 grow before II can be
trimmed and shaped to the best adj
vantage.
There seems TO be q national Impulse
now manifested. 1t Ii iii the direction

AN ArcHIsoN JOKE.
Meaningless Motto That Caught the
Kansas Folks.

Meaningless Motto That Caught the
Kansas Folks.
Cedar Rapids Republican,: Ed.
Howe, the old Atchison Globe man,
noted for funny paragraphs, is now
editing little magazine on his Po-
tato Hill farm near that city. He does
1t for the fun of the thing. He is
something of practical joker. Re-
Gently he put forth a motto. since mot
toes are very popular in these later
days, and he worded it like unto this.
I'VE must all learn to be absolute

1t took. One man was carried off his
feet by the motto. He thought ii was
the greatest thing in the world and
that 1t would regenerate mankind, and
mankind is always we are told, in
need of regeneration. Had you never
written another thing, wrote the en-
thusiast, ''your name should pass to
posterity among the immortaIs for the
superb motto on the cover of your
August number" The man was not
all words either. He sent the money
for 100 extra copies, to distribute
among his friends to the end that the
work Of regeneration might go on.
Mr.. Howe now says that he did
not know what the motto meant when
he wrote it, and he does not know
now. He merely expressed modern
inanity, just to see how it would take
And it took. Il can see nothing, what
ever. in the motto quoted says Mr.
Howe. Il do not know what it means.
Ii you see anything, If you pretend
that you understand the sentiment,
then you should take something for
it,
One Is inclined to agree with Mr.
Howe, that If some man should escape
from an asylum and issue tumble of
lnanities, he would find brood of fol-
lowers, and in due time. they might
even gather a respectable religion
around his name. lit beats the world

POOLING LA TOILETTE.

HsA-
What The Cleveland Leader says in
the following or the LaFollette boom
ers in Ohio Is also true in North Dako-
ta:
One of the features of the extreme
form Of the I.aFollette movement, in
Ohio and in other states. is the activ-
ity of chronic and well Unknown enemies
of the republican party in the effort to
force the Wisconsin senator into the
foremost place In the republican cam
paign next year, regardless Of the OBJ
vious preference of millions Of pro-
gressive republicans for Roosevelt.
The most frantic and Incorporate adj
vocates of the nomination of LaF'ol-
lette include many politicians and at
least one group of newspapers that
would not support him If he were nom
mated.
The impudence of these democrats
and democrats, these persistent
and shameless detractors of the repub-
lican party, these socialists and near
socialists, as some of them are, in as
Stunning leadership in the republican
organization, is only exceeded by the
gullibility of republicans who take such
a treacherous help at it's face value.
In primary election held under prop
er restrictions an attempt to interfere
in this manner in the affairs OF a party
constantly antagonized, opposed and
denounced, would bring any man who
dared to vote as these false guides talk
and write, within the scope of the
criminal code.
Democrats and socialists cannot take
part in the nomination Of republican
candidates, in popular vote primaries
without unlawful as well as immoral
fraud, if, like the anti-republican La
Toilette boomers, they are just as ac-
tive in making nominations for their
own parties.
