NIAGARA WEAK,

Government officials are much as
tonished at the reliable statistical re-
ports from the Canadian experts
which state that the total water pow
er of the famed Niagara Falls is far
below the figures which generally OBJ
tain in American official circles, and,
for that matter, too, among geographic
cal and other authorities. The report
discusses the water power in the
prosperous province Of Ontario very
fully, special attention being given to
the power possibilities at Niagara,
and the conditions affecting develop
ment there. Each of the power COM
panies operating there, whether on
the American or the Canadian side, is
described in detail. A significant ref
erence is made to the granting of
franchises to develop power at Mag
ara Falls. The report states that the
low water flow of the Niagara River
would yield at the Falls about 1885,
900 horse power, of which the Ameri-
can share (one-half) would be 1885,
900 horse power. FRANCHISES have al
ready been granted" it goes on to
say, land plants are at work on the
Canadian side of the river, of about
100000 horsepower In other words
instead of millions of horse power be-
ing available, as sometimes stated, it
appears that about half, and by all
odds the better half, of Canada's usa-
BILE share of Niagara Falls power has
already been placed under private
control"
This disclosure coming at an oppor-
tune time will afford every chance for
public spirited congressman to have
set afoot an official investigation of
the conditions on the American side,
SO as to ascertain beyond peradven-
ture the obvious question of whether
or not the disable share of Niagara
Falls power on our side is in the same
commercial state as that of the Dom.
inion.

CONSERVATION OF WEALTH.

Every resident of North Dakota
should buy at home; price and quail
ity being right. We believe that home
products should be given preference
even if prices are fraction higher
than those at which outside goods are
offered, because the nome merchants
are helping to support the activities
of their communities. There is no
reason or excuse for not buying at
home if the goods are right and the
prices fair.
If what is wanted cannot be pur-
chased at home, then loyal North Da.
kotans should turn to the larger
North Dakota cities for these pur.
chases, but first they should be sure
that local markets cannot supply the
demand
Retailers should practice in their
preach to their customers, that is
home buying. They should buy from
North Dakota wholesalers and man
ufacturers-bu in their home state.
Be loyal to home towns and counties
and to North Dakota and it's people.
Make North Dakota dollars build
up North Dakota. That is true Con:
servation of State Wealth.

FEEDING cow WHOLE GRAINS
Demonstrated by Experiment Sta
tlons and Owners.

1t is seldom advisable to feed whole
grain to dairy cows. This has been
demonstrated time and time again.
both by experiment stations and in.
dtvidual dairy men and farmers The
animals cannot make as good use Of
whole grain as of grain that has been
ground. The Michigan station has
furnished some exact data on the sub
ject that are worth attention. The
work was very carefully done and the
results reported as follows: When
whole corn was fed to COWS 22.75 per
cent passed through them unmasticat-
ed; when fed to heifers. 1917 per
cent. and when fed to calves, 62S per
cent. When whole oats was fed to
COWS. 1906 per cent passed through
them unmasticated; when fed to
heifers, 5.48 per cent and when fed
to calves. 2.9S per cent Whole corn
and oats not masticated when fed to
COWS. 26.46 per cent; to heifers. 1850
per cent, and calves 5.78 per cent
Chemical analysis showed practically
the same composition of grain before
feeding. Therefore 1t is safe to con-
clude that the animal derives no ben.
eft from grain which passes through
the digestive tract unmasticated The
results show two things: First. that
feeding whole grain to cows and heif.
ers Is very wasteful practice: SEQ.
ond. that the younger animals are
more capable Of masticating their
feed than older ones.

TALcoTT vs.. POPULAR WILL.

Senator Talcott chairman of the
Republican State Central committee,
has recently made known his opinion
of his duties in connection with the
presidential primary law. A perusal
of the interview aside from Talcott's
opposition to the law brings to light
merely the fact that Talcott will make
NO move regarding putting the new
system into practice until he has con-
suited with his associates
'Talcott harks back to the old sys-
tenn which has ruled North Dakota
politics for many years, the system OF
Devils Lake inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1909-1915, 1911-12-29

taking orders from above, under which
McKenzieism prospered nightly un-
til the Progressive movement in this
state became dominant.
The stalwart organization, which
Talcott represents, has persistently
fought every movement to bring the
choice of public officials and the ex-
preston of popular will closer to the
people. The whole progressive move
ment has been struggle to overthrow
such a system which stood for auto
cratic methods and made public men
merely time serving tools.
Should Talcott attempt to tamper
with the new law we believe that he
will receive rebuke which public
sentiment in this state will admins
ter, and which will make the matter
warning to all future opponents of
gang rule. In fact, so strong is the
progressive idea of government root
ed in the people of the state, that the
man who attempts to thWart the peo-
pies will and nullify a method of ex-
pressing the popular choice, had bet
ter retire early to avoid the storm
which his actions will surely raise.
North Dakota wants to enjoy the
fruits of it's hard fought struggle for
political independence and will deal
summary with the MAJ who tries
to prevent it.

PRAISES LA FOL
lETTE.

II doubt whether American
students of social economics full
ly realize the extraordinary work
that has been accomplished, dur
ing the last decade, anu is now
being accomplished in the State
of Wisconsin under the lead of
Senator La Toilette and of the
group of entirely practical and at
the same time zealously enthusi
astic workers who have come in
TO active control of tho State main
" or largely because of the lead
he has given them
Theodore Roosevelt
The above excerpt from an address
saof ex-Presldent Roosevelt is worth
while remembering Roosevelt has not
always agreed with the Wisconsin
Senator, Fighting Boo LaFollette.
Between these two tremedouly
strong men there has been antagonism
and at times open warfare But, Roose-
welt with all his animosities, his siren
Gus likes and dislikes, is a man big
enough to see the transcendent value
of what LaFollette has accomplished
single handed in Wisconsin.
In times past it was the habit of
many men to call LaFollette "radisap' ),
too advanced, too mucu like Bryan,
ETC., and this habit was carefully
fostered by every influence of stall
wartism in the country 1t is really
remarkab BILE how LaFollette has irresis-
'tibly forged ahead in spite of the at
fireater men and confidence in the
minds of the great mass of American
.acitizens of all states and all parties.
To 60 to the heart of the matter we
may say that LaFollette's "radicalism"
"so-called, was not the radicalism of a
destructive visionary, but the radical
ix.S O: strong man, who saw great
ey.ls, conceived great remedies, and
executed those remedies without re-
gard for the "trodden toes" and bark
eu shins" of the big interests.
To have leader like LaFollette at
the head of the republican ticket in
the coming campaign would be to re-
awaken in the rank and file of the
party the old time fervor and earnest
ness and sincerity of Republicanism in
war times. In those days republican,
ism meant fighting out battle upon a
clean cut moral issue. OF late years
Influences have crept into the party
organization which have tended to cor
rupt the splendid public spirit and un-
selfish party zeal of the early six
ties" and Seventies LaFollette and
: all LaFollette stands for hanks back to
Athose days and to the service repubii-
tcans rendered in the past. So we be-
lieve that if republicanism is to endure
if it is to continue to render service
worth while to the nation land this is
the only grounds for the existence of
any patty we must swing toward the
ideals of I.aFollette and his predeces-
sor in the ranks of progress, Theodore
Roosevelt.

as a matter of fact, the old half-tone

A country lawyer Of courage and
sagacity, serving as local Judge
in southren Ohio. is now setting this

political reform that will give his
name an enduring place in the annals
of our great American experiment of
self government. By many different
means.-some of them bold and
fragrant, others stealthy and indirect.
the use of money has tainted purity
and hour of our politics. But of all
these forms of corruption. the one most
to be deplored ia the poisoning Of the
spring of popular government at its
very source.
e The habitual and wholesale bribery
of voters not only makes the rule of
the majority laughing stock and a
farce, but it destroys the dignity and
self-respect Of communities, and 50
impairs manhood as to unfit it for the
best things in every sphere Of social
or business life. We have had in our
great cities fearful examples
of ballot-box stuffing; fraudulent
registration; dishonesty in the
counting of votes and returning Of
results; colonization Of repeaters;
false naturalization of foreigners.
and other offenses against fair and
honest elections. But these things.
which may indeed defeat the will of
a majority of the rightful voters,
are too trivial to be mentioned in
