BIG HUSBANDS The BEST.

Big men make the best husbands
and little men, with sharp, thin noses,
are especially to be avoided. This is
the expert testimony of Mrs. Anna
Murphy, chief police matron of Chi
cago, backed up by hat of Mrs. Marie
Leavitt, clerk Of the court Of domestic
relations.
Big men, whether it is in business
or in matrimony, are easiest to get
along with" wrote Matron Murphy. in
her latest report. They are more
likely to be easy-going and less irrita-
BILE, and more generous. The little
III is more likely to be nervous and
fdgety.
"A mar with a sharp, thin nose is
apt to be a scold. Where a man of
small stature is endowed with a nasal
organ Of this sort, you have a bad
combination. There you have a prize
faultfinder. He will rail at everything
from the way the steak is cooked to
the way his socks are darned."
Mrs. Leavitt added this:
The small men greatly outnumber
the big men in the cases that come be-
fore this court. Most of our cases are
for non support, and on this complaint
the little. unskilled man is the worst
offender by far"

home with Mr.. and Mrs. Fritz Held.
WORK on the new store is tagging
very much, as only the basement ia
finished after the work has been go
ing on for four weeks. IN main
reason for this is that the weather
hasn't been the best and that the
building contract a passed into sew
efai different hands.
Banker Lundeen and Steve Mailstte

in the week. They made the trip In

The hum of the binder can be heard
once more throughout the land, for

BASEBALL.

Baseball has always been classed
as the greatest of American sports. 1t
has a remarkable hold on the public.
Its sterling honesty Is the chief cause
of it's popularity. There have been
OCCASIONAL crooked piayers-but they
only accentuated the real honesty of
the game. Fargo had an illustration
OF crooked work year-when two
players deliberately threw a game.
But while the amateur baseball will
" lose its popularity there is dam
ger of the professional game being
over-commerciaized. 1t is now too
much a matter of dollars and cents
too much a cold bIooded business
proposition. The game has become
too scientific. There is too much in
side work. The game is becoming too
technical for the average fan-and
contests between the leading teams il
thoroughly understood only by experts.
The professional game is getting be-
yond the casual pleasure-seeker and
becoming too involved for the average
fan.
The public will some day revolt and
a renewed interest will be shown in
the amateur games, The happy-go-
lucky contest. filled with errors, long
hits, hog wild running on bases-will
furnish more thrills and excitement
than the polished, finished, scientific
contests that are now nut on in the
two big leagues.

A DEMOCRATIC ovERPLAY.

The democratic majority in congress
has made, every effort TO put President
Taft in the hole on the veto PROPOSE
tion. They passed a steel and the
wool measures that they knew ne
would ~veto-Just to make political
capital. They have used up the time
of congress and the money of the
american people-just for the oppor-
tunity OF playing politics.
Through this measure, they have
temporarily put the president on the
defensive. In his vetoes he was fore
ca into long explanations that he did
not wish to give. But Taft had the
backbone. He stood out against his
political assailants. Daring political
defeat he vetoed the measures. He
accepted the challenge by the demo-
Gratis, Instead of being crushed by
HIS actiun-it looks like the people are
beginning to appreciate Taft's posi-
ton, They are now regarding him In
the light of a political martyr.
1t appears the democrats have over
played their hand.

MUST GET THE FARMERS.

# -
The socialists are up against a rath-
er peculiar proposition. To ever win
a nation contest it Is absolutely i'm
perative that they gain the support
and the cooperation of the farmers.
Victor Berger. the only socialist ever
elected to congress, Is quoted as say
ing: I'VE cannot have socialism in
this country If we don't get the farm
ers." Iii.
To win the farmers the socialists
must change their programme rad
ically. They can never hope to secure
a wide following among the farmers
as long as they advocate the state
ownership OF land. The farmers won't
stand for any such ~tomfoolery as that.
Here and there some will agree to the
idea-but the average farmer is too
hard headed to be caught by any
such clap trap.
If the socialists agree to exempt
land used by farmers from their pro-
gramme of state ownership-they pass
up the chief plank Of their platform
and make themselves ridiculous. They
are between the devil and the deep
sea-. To win the farmers they must
change their programme. To change
their programme they make them
selves a laughing stock.
1t makes a hard choice for the
shouters for socialism. The more
they study the problem-the more Sc
rious it will appear.
Victor Berger was correct when he
said the socialists must have the
farmers Ia win-but how?

The horrors of the great Titanic dis

torial:
The Detroit News instances as a
fine example of the resiliency of life
that fact that the head barber of the
Titanic Is now at work On the Lusi-
tania. August. f. Weikman was for two
hours in the fey water when he was
rescued, more dead than alive. The
fear and horror of the catastrophe
made him sicken at the mention uf a
ship and he said that the sea should
know him no more.
But the impressions of the great
disaster began to fade. AS the weeks
passed the memories Of it seemed less
terrible. He began to figure that it
was not likely to happen again. Ship
builders and nayigators had had their
lesson. The call of the sea came To
him and he answered.
Such is the resiiiency of our nature,
And fortunate, indeed, for us that 1t
ID so, that we can forget. else we
would go through this life trailing
clouds Of dispair, horror and death,
Life would soon become impossible

NEW REASON FoR HIGH PRICES.
Meat Packers Organ Says Aliens Are
Consumers, Not Producers.

Meat Packers Organ Says Aliens Are
Consumers, Not Producers.
The National Provisioner. the offfcial
organ of the American Meat Packers
association. In discussing high prices
and the need of more producers, points
out that the food supply does not in
crease in anything like the proportion
Of the increase in population. The
following is how the situation is an
alyzed:
If our population increases at the
rate of 1900 600 of people each year,
of which nearly 1000, 900 are foreign
ers, that fact should be taken into
consideration. This country has been
built up by immigration and owes ev-
.erything to foreignets, but IL we are
to encourage the principles upon which
the country has been made great and
1t the same time increase our own
cost of living 1t should be borne in
mind that each Inhabitsnt is contribut-
ing a very liberal share to the mainte-
nance Of each newcomer
1t Is unfortunate that a large per-
centage Of the immigrants who have
been coming to our shores in recent
years are consumers rather than pro-
ducers. This was not true of the ear
.lier immiRrants who were attracted
here by American farming opportuni-
ties.
The real solution Of the high cost 81
living is to raise o food products
and not to have an increase Of fooc
consumers without at least an equiv
alent number Of producers.

Press Comment

lively announced that Roosevelt's par
~ VIII place in nomination a full
state ticket at its Forthcoming onven
ton at Fargo about Sept. 1. If their
chief aim is the advancement of the
progressive cause this is a poor way
OF showing it-sinee every man on

except the governor, is a progreesive.
But most of those who have closely

G!oea er that this whole proceeding

succeeds. He has talked much of the
square DEAL but his acts have In
too many instances failed to square
with the talk.
Powers Lake Echo: L. a. Han

OF North Dakota by the repub-
though he supported Roosevelt last
March we do not believe he will be
frightened into leaving the party that
has so honored him because of a band
of ~malcontents who threaten to put
up a candidate in opposition to him.
Personally, we were opposed to the
nomination of Mr.. Hanna as the re-
publican standard bearer, because we
did not believe he was in accord with
the principles of the republican party
In the state, and we SO voted at the
primary. But we believe that Mr.
Hanna as a republican, is to be pre-
ferred to any candidate the Roosevelt
machine will nominate, and 1t is more
honorable to support him than to es.

We al respect a man who leaves thu

their avowed principles more benefi'
cial to humanity (and in many in,
stances we believe they are right

himself to be a man of large execu-

ambition and persistent effort to at
all times serve h people in the most
