AZ Anen.

He stands alone. thing forlorn,
Far from his home and friends, for
sootf1;
Far from the place where he was
born,
Far from the happy scenes of youth!
His voice is still, his face is drawn,
AS though he had no friend on earth.
The strangers view him and are gone:
They little value his true worth.
A stranger from distant place,
A humble stranger, be it said:
Ambitions light has left his face,
His home is gone, his spirit is dead
The salt aroma Of the sea
He lately left clings to him still.
The past is but a memory
His future chances are but nil.
He cannot see single friend,
No matter where his eyes may roam
Who has a helping hand to lend;
No dim reminder of his home.
One day poet came. and then
He found a friend at last indeed,
Who took this stranger to all men
To his own home with utmost speed
The tale ends here, but thus is Fate,
Although wed gladly tell you more
The stranger is. we fam would state,
A Goldfish in the grocery store.

THE BIG CORN SHOW.


Great interest is being taken in the
big corn show to be held in Fargo next
January. These annual exhibitions
have attracted attention for years but
new impetus was given the corn grow
ing movement last spring by the liberal
offer OF $1,000 in cash prizes by the
First National bank of Fargo.
Many other banks of the state Joined
in the movement and offered prizes
for local contests--co- operating with
the Fargo institution. AS result in
terest in the affair has become state
wide and there will be exhibits of corn
in Fargo next winter that will astonish
strangers and even residents of the
state-who are not familiar with the
great progress made In corn growing
in North Dakota.
Some OF the banks around the state
are working up interest in the big
contest. The First National of Finley
is @ fair example. 1t issued a circular
letter TO the farmers of that vicinity
again calling attention to the corn
show, the big prizes offered, the con-
di4iens governing the contest and other
features. 1t urged the farmers to
make selections, send them to the bank
properly labeled-and the bank would
see they were sent to the big show.
Efforts of this nature are sure to get
results. II every bank and every paper
in the state will urge the farmers to
make careful selections Of samples the
exhibit should be the biggest thing
ever held in the state. 1t will go far
to convince the rest of the world that
North Dakota is in reality in the corn
belt.

Minneapolis Tribune said:
The government report shows that

100000 bushels Of which the three
northwestern surplus states have
raised about $50 100000 bushels. The
total harvest for the United States ii
estimated to be 6g7 900 600 bushels.

LAWS ARE ARCHAIC.

n was Emerson who said that things
TO be respected must first be respecta-
BILE. So when the people are told that
one OF the serious failings of the times
Is lack of reverence for law-the
ready answer is that the administra-
ton Of the law has brought it upon
itself.
It is both idle and false to ascribe
to wickedness and perversity in the
present generation that widespread
contempt for legal procedure which is
SO characteristic Of the times. 1t is
easy to accumulate mountains Of evil
dencs--to show how well merited is
this contempt and why the people
through constant bitter experience
have lost faith in the effectiveness
of the law and in its methods.
The truth Is that the law has be-
come the least progressive of the pro-
fessions-even less so than theology
which is by nature inherently conserv-
alive. Instead Of keeping abreast with
the times and its necessities. it il
cropping in the musty past for tradi-
tfons-and presidents wherewith to
govern it's policy. It is one thing to
stand upon the eternal verities that
from generation to generation remain
unchanged quite another to base
decisions upon conditions and thoughts
OF the past that are archaic in the
present.
Unfortunately the average Judge and
the average lawmaker seem incapable
OF discriminating between the two. Nc
greater proof of this need be cited thar
the pertinacity with which the law re-
CARDS the so-called sacred rights Of
property and of vested interests-as
compared with the really sacred rights
Of human life and personal freedom
The advanced thoughts well al
the common sense of the day--ha,
long recognized the fact that the rights
of property are mere conventions AM
inheritances. They are to be treate,
with justice and fairness, and no
as fetiches. The whole progressive
thought Is for amelioration of the con
dition of the human race--at whateve
cost may be necessary. But the his
tory OF progress is obstructed an
cluttered up with innumerabIe judicia
decisions as to the "constitutionaIity
Of certain legislative enactments- wit
the sole result OF often seriously de
laying many needed reforms.
