The man who wrote "What's the
matter with Kansas7" will be here
next Saturday night to tell the people
of Devils Lake that there is nothing
the matter with Roosevelt.
Political speeches are educational
Those who have nerve enough to make
them must study the situation and
those who will listen can get the ques.
ton from various Viewpoints and thus
decide for themselves. If the average
man would read all the literature that
is floating about at this season he
might acquire knowledge that he
could never secure in schools. The fell
low who will follow the thing up at
his leisure will find the time well in
vested. One third of the American
race cast their ballot and know no rea
son for voting as they do.

SAME OLD TRICK.

w. J. Bryan-a most estimable anG
clever gentleman-turned a political
trick in his Thursday night address
in Fargo. He was not expected to say
anything that would help along the re-
publicans-and he didn't.
Instead he scattered few more
seeds of misunderstanding attention
to the scrap between Taft and Roose
velt-and setting the supporters OF
these candidates after each other IS
scalps.
But LaFollette-ah, there's a maj
after the Nebraskan's heart-perhaps
The peerless leader showerd compli
ments on the Wisconsin leader till
the entire eastern horizon was arc
seate hue because of LaFollette' Z
blushes-and it certainly takes some
thing to make him blush.
It was the old political trick of run
ming down your strongest opponents
and boosting the weak ones.
Bryan knew that LaFollette couldn 4
possibly win the republican nomination
so he saw a possibility to tickle the
North Dakota shouters for the pompa
douered individual. By SO doing he
created more discord in the republican
ranks. incidentally he lent some au
thenticity to the rumors that the NORTH
Dakota democrats are planning to vote
in blocks for LaFollette-the weakest
of three candidates-to bring further
confusion on the republicans.
Mr.. Bryan g work was very clever
ly done. His long experience in the
political game has made him past
master Of all it's tricks. For the pur
pose he wished to use it-Bryan IS Far
go speech was gem.
In the meantime the Nebraskan is
not entirely oblivious to things that
will advance his personal ambition. II
he is not the only man in the demo
cratic party who can get two-thirds Of
the next democratic national conven
tion-many people. are guessing wildly
The democrats are likely to cast a few
ballots for favorite sons-then STAN
pede to the eloquent orator from TIT
west.-Fargo Forum.

The times on the reservation this
year have been pretty we'll to the bad
as the severe weather has been hard on
these people, who lead mostly an out
door life. There have been a number
of deaths during the winter and many
families have found it hard to get
along.
There are many of them who have es-
tablished some little credit and these
have taken advantage of it this win

no small way to the yearly sales of
some Of the local business houses.

BACK TO THE AMERICAN FARM.

AA~'~2Ns~ $500 ------
A back to the farm movement is re-
ported in the west that is exciting a
good deal of comment. It is the re-
turn Of many farmers from Canada to
the fertile fields IF the northwest. The
last emigrants to the Canadian north
west met their predecessors returning
with tales Of disappointment. They
did not find it a lard of milk and hon
ey. On the contrary they found hard
ships to compare with the early days
of cyclones and drought in the west.
The land is fruitful, it is true, and
the summer season wondrously fiho-
but too Shorthand the land in the un-
developed state that greets the pioneer.
The western farmer-who has been
used to comfortable house, good roads
and convenient transportation-fnds it
hard to go back again to the shack,
roads few and poorly made, and rail-
roads miles away.
The man who is willing to undergo
the years of hardship that early settle
ment means will get his reward in the
increased value of his land and crops
when this region becomes developed.
But it is impossible to understand why
man-who has gone through this al
ready in one state or the son Of such
man-should care to undertake it in
stead of staying at home where oppor-
tunities are so much better.
The answer seems to be that he does
not. This answer is found in the re-
turning of thousands.-Fargo Forum.

LINDSEY MAKES A 81.
STRONG STATEMENT.

The following telegram was received
today from Judge Ben E. Lindsey,
judge of the Denver juvenile court.
81 knew personally all the facts con-
corning Colonel Roosevelt's attitude
from the beginning. He never advised
Senator LaFollette to become candi-
date. He has acted with the most
scrupulous honor toward Senator La
Toilette and his friends. Colonel Roose-
welt consented to become candidate
when it had become evident that ne
was the. only progressive who could
by any possibility be nominated. OPP
position to Colonel Roosevelt in North
Dakota is encouraging to standpatters.

miration for LaFollette, but Taft's
managers at this time will count vote
for LaFollette as vote for Taft. All
progresives should vote for Roosevelt.
