ARE THEY WORTH wAILEa

1t is well that the public knows
something OF the candidates who ask
for their suffrage. The fad OF de-
manding a declaration of principles
does not answer the purpose. 1t
places to the front too much OF ex-
pertinent and theory.
The record of the man and his life
and its successes are far better to
guide the voter than a verbose plat
form OF the experiments the candidate
proposes to try, and which he may not
be able to carry out because of change
in conditions. The practical man is
the n who accomplishes something
for his constituents, and does 1t for all
whether his supporters or not.
The state has had several glaring
examples during the last two or three
years OF men who have announced
platforms, rosy with promises II what
they would do if given the suffrages
of the people. They have been trust
ed, and they have failed to either keep
their promises. or to do as well as
those who never announced "a plat
form of principles"
Lookir. over political history there
is not a voter in the state who cannot
pick out the men who have been true
ITO the people, and generally they are
the ones who have been chary of their
pre- reelection promises, but have been
Strenuous in their after efforts to do
what was best for the city, county or
state they had been called upon to
serve.
Declarations before elections are
not needed so much, as honest action
after being trusted with office by the
;speople. The best way to get results
is to select men well known, men who
try to construct-not a machine,
whether under the primary or the old
convention system-men who do some
thing, and allow the experimenters to
wait with their long crude platforms
until they have something definite,
which viii without question be better
than what now is. The experimenter
has had the front of the stage too
much and the voter is getting tired of
naying for his theories. without Sc
curing results.

MODERN CROP REPORTING.

Washington Post: Secretary WE
son of the department of agriculture
has made arrangements which will n
able his office to give out the OFFICIAL
reports on the crop yield of the world
on the Monday nearest to the TWEEN
tieth of each month. The reports will
be cabled direct to the department
from the international Institute Of Ag-
riculture at Rome. and will eventually
initiate against improper speculation
in the wheat market.
The manner in which Secretary Will
son has seized upon this modern meth
cd of preventing manipulation of crop
reports, to the detriment OF the pub
lie, is in line with his consistent policy
in aiding the farmers and the con-
sumers Of the country. The DEPART
ment of agriculture, under Secretary
Wilson, has brought the government
into direct touch with the people.
Secretary Wilson's estimates for the
coming year have been pared to the
bone under his direction, but congress
can feel assured that whatever appro-
priations are made for the department
of agriculture will be used for the
public benefit without discrimination.
Under Mr.. Wilson the various bureaus
of the department of agriculture have
grown from offices where four or five
men were employed in experimental
work to great organizations working
in behalf Of millions Of people. His ac-
Iceptance of the cooperation Of the in
ternational institute at Rome is fur
1 thar Avide1ee that he Is kneniu9 his
department thoroughly UP to date.

LED AsTRAY.

The Rams Horn always has much
of interest, and it's philosophy is a
homely one that should make human
ity better. Here is an extract from
the last number which is well worthy
Of more than a passing thought:
A little clock in a jewelers. window
in a certain western town stopped one
day for half an hour, at fifteen min
utes of nine. School children, MOTTO
ing the time, stopped to play; people
hurrying to the train, looking at the
clock, stopped to chat a minute with
one another; working men and Wo-
men noted the time and fingered a lit
tie longer in the sunshine, and all
were half an hour late because one
small clock stopped. Never had these
people known how much they had de-
pended upon that clock till it had led
them astray.
Many are thus unconsciously de-
pending upon the influence Of chris
tians; you may think you have no in
fiuence, but you cannot go wrong in
one little act without leading others
astray.

La Moure, Eddy and Cass counties.
He taught school. Then he became a
travelling salesman. Then he became
a banker.
Senator Mcdowell is a man who
looks you in the eyes, when he talks
with you. There is one thing he
never learned, and that was how to
sidestep. He can take a Jolt, and he
can jolt back. But he keeps stand
ing square toed. He plays the game
square. Sincerity is written across
the story OF his every movement. He
keeps the faith Not because it is the
best policy. Not because of early
teachings. But because he likes to.
Senator Mcdowell was president of
the North Dakota State Bankers as.
s~ociation in 1901, and his work
has been conspicuous.
The Democrats elected Wesley G..
Mcdowell as senator from the Twen.
ty-fourth legislative district. He had
never held office before. Had kept
lighting in the ranks. His only par.
liamentary training had been received
at the Moorhead normal. But he
wcn instant recognition in the state
senate and all over North Dakota.
He had proved himself a great cam.
paigner in the days before the cleo.

lative halls he won much favor. He
never sought leadership. Like every
other leader, he was pushed to the
fore by others. Just keep your eye

For frying oysters fine bread crumbs
are preferred to cracker crumbs, be-
cause less fat is absorbed by the bread.
The oysters should be drained we'll and
spread on a nice linen napkin. Lift by
the hard fat part known as the eve.
Have the crumbs nicely seasoned with
pepper and a little salt unless the oys-
tiers are salty. Now dip the oyster
and turn it in the crumbs, then quick
ly into the beaten egg, back again into
the crumbs; pat between the palms OF
the hands. Place on a platter and
proceed until all are coated. II the
oysters are prepared a few hours be-
fore frying, the coverings will be all
the better. Have the fat deep and blue
hot before immersing the oysters.
When they float to the surface a light
