The Devils Lake Journal. democrat-
ic. sizes up the North Dakota situation,
as follows.
Not only governors, but just plain
voters, appear to be calling for the
nomination OF Colonel Roosevelt.
There are those who question their
taste, but there can be no questioning
the formidable nature OF the demand
for Roosevelt.
This leaves the LaFollette forces
in rather an unhappy position. Even
admitting that pure principles actu-
ates them, as it often does men who
defeat their own ends by being too un-
compromising and more set on form
than substance; and even admitting
that it wasn't a very pretty trick to
string LaFollette and his followers
along and then ditch them for Roose-
welt; the fact remains that at this
present moment about all the La Fol-
lette movement can possibly hope to
do is to split the anti-Taft forces
enough to bring about Taft's renomina-
ton.
Anyway, it is a pretty sight. There
are not so many republican specta-
tors in the galleries now watching the
domestic alterations of the demo-
cratic party. They are too busy par
ticipating in their own family row.

THE BLUE BOOK.

The new Blue Books are out at last.
The present volume is much larger
than former issues and there is some
color printing in the new number. The
book was issued under the direction of
Secretary of State Norton.
The delay in the distribution of the
book is blamed by the secretary upon
the printers. The publishers say Nor
ton is responsible. The book should
have been in the hands of the people
Of the state last summer-but presum-
ably it is better late than never.
1t contains-among other things
the returns of the last election and just
now comes in very convenient for
those who are figuring up the political
situation.

From The HieksyviIIs Clarion.


Hi Haskin's brother, who is the iv-
ing skellington for a circus in the sum
mer and is so thin thai you kin play
a tune on his ribs with a couple Of
mallets just like a zylophone. A very
sad accident took place to Deacon
Purdy's n day last week as the dea-
con was on his way home from the
grucery store with a jug of cider in one
hand and a dozen of eggs in the 9TH
Ell. The sidewalk was somewhat slick
erish in front of Am Perkins barber
shop and the deacon sat down quite
sudden, suffering the fracture of about
a dozen ribs and the dozen eggs. The
deacon says he don't mind Dustin the
ribs, but eggs is eggs these days. The
deacon also suffered a compound frac-
ture of the cider jug. The jug was all
busted up. but the cider was so hard it
didn't break.
Owing to the high price of meat
the Supreme knights of the Universe
has felt called upon to sacrifice their
lodge goat and there will be q barbecue
in the lodge hall up over the drug
store next Tuesday evening. Amos
Butts, our gentlemanly undertaken,
dISO iSStyt 1SGO dllu SdtCc Stdp4SS, TICS
got one of them big calendars which
just gives one date on each sheet and
Amos says he can't ever keep track of
what day it is, for he can't remember
whether he pulled the sheet off or left
it on. Four days went by last week
unbeknown to Amos and he missed a
funeral by two days, but it didn't make
much difference as Amos is the only
undertaken here and the late deceased
had to wait for him.

ELECTRICITY ON THE FARM.

Some years ago Alex Stern of Fargo
purchased a farm near the city. 1t
was, announced that he INTENDED to in
stall an electric plant on the premises
and use that as power for blowing,
threshing, harvesting, moving and
other heavy work on the farm. MI.
Stern was a pioneer in the movement.
Commenting on the use Of electricity
on the farm-The Chicago Record
Herald has the following editorial:
In a recent address before the New
York Electrical society E. p. Edwards
pointed out that 1000 American towns
of between 1000 and $500 population
have no electric plants. With electric
service such towns can supply light
and power to many farms and tighten
labor as well as lower the cost Of farm
production.
One of the largest central stations,
according to MI. Edwards, is about to
max a complete exhibit of electrical
appliances and electrically operated
machines suitable for farm use. This
exhibit will be in a tent 100 feet long
by SO feet wide. and will be moved
from place to place. Electrically OPP
Grated dairy apparatus, hay hoists,
hay presses, corn shelters. tanning
mills, churns, butter-makers, refriger-
ating plants and other machinery will
be shown.
The National Electric Light associa-
ton and the National Gas and Gasoline
Engine Trades association recently
passed resolutions urging the national
government to Investigate and deter
mine the best form for power for each
farm need. The agricultural colleges of
the country are being called upon to
give similar education.
With central stations in practically
every town large or small, there are
possibilities of the illumination Of
country roads and of electric light and
power lines everywhere. The electric
age, for the farmer, seems to be just
beginning.

VOLUME xxxv, NO. 11s.
TUESDAY, FEs. ~ 1912.
ALCOHOL AND INSANITY.

North Dakotans will be greatly in
tefested in the statistics from the
Kansas Insane asylum. They show a
decided falling off in the percentage Of
insanity of that state since 1904.
lin 1904 the number of patients COM
niitted to insane hospitals for every
1000 persons in the state was ga. In
1910 the number for each 1000 had
fallen to 5,24.
Members of the state board of con-
troll and the superintendent Of the in
sane hospital believe that the falling
off is due chiefly to a falling off i n the
consumption of alcohol-as a result of
s~tricter enforcement of the prohibition
laws of the state.
while the prohibition laws of Kan
sas were fairly we'll enforced in coun-
try districts-in 1904 there vas con-
siderable violation Of the anti-liquor
laws in Wichita. Kansas City and 9TH
err larger cities of the state.
by degrees the state has strengthen
edits liquor laws as it has discovered
their defects. Under the present gov
erBor-who was given full power to
check the b~ootleggers and discipline
public officials who winked at the law
the violations of the law are infre-
qaent.
governor Stubs has personally gone
toScities where the liquor laws were not
respected and has directed the arrest
and prosecution of blind tiger keepers.
He has demonstrated that prohibition
prohibits-where there are proper
laws and a genuine desire on the part
of officials to live up to their oath of
office-and enforce the laws.
Ittwould be interesting to learn what
the statistics from the asylum at
jamestown would show. Some man
with a head for figures might delve
into the records and see what the re-
suits are-and under whose admins
tration-the largest number of people
were driven dippy-through alcohol or
the failure to close up the blind pigs.
