bad now.
FFhat was an extraordinary
and anomalous meeting, in the
alleged interest of Democratic
harmony, held by the Barton
Committee, its proxies and adj
herents, Wednesday evening,
Gov Hooper was not present at
the meeting, but he was repre-
sented by proxy, Prof Dyer and

Prof Dyer attacked the Tennes-

Hooper couldn't have been more
earnest and virulent himself in

overthrow the Democratic pri
mary plan agreed upon by the
two committees. If Chairman
Newell Sanders had been present
at the meeting Of the Barton
Committee he would have APP

That's the brand of "harmony"

We learn that Hon. l. B White
Will not 60 in the primary of April
q. His reasons as we understand
it are that not enough time has
been given to make the canvass.
These are the reasons given by
Mr.. Padgett for not going into the
primary. This condition of things
is very much to be regretted and
ought if possible to have been
avoided. The congressional COM
mittee has been appealed to to
change the time of the primary
Blu, the application has been de
chned and the primary will be call
ed off as per the schedule. But it
now locks like Mr.. Turner will be
declared the nominee by the com
mittee as it appears that there will
he only one candidate. OF course
both the other gentlemen are too
good democrats to back in the
breeding or kick out OF the har-
ness. And it is not thought that
either Of them will oppose the ac-
ton of the committee by any overt
act. In the last election our dem
ocratic leaders in congress thought
it the part of wisdom to stay out
of the state fight and none of them
so far as we know took sides in
that election. The reason given
was that these leaders when the
next campaign came on wonld be
in a position to harmonic the fac
lions because they had angered
neither. The doctrine was then
promulgated for the first time that
man could vote the republican
ticket in a state election and the
democratic ticket in the national
election and still be a democrat.
As a rule this doctrine was denied
by those democrats who stood by
the organization and supported by
those who voted the republican
ticket. There was much complaint
among party leaders and party
men of the new doctrine. Now
that the party is trying to get to-
gether the organization will ex-
peet these leaders to 90 to work
to help heal the party wounds.

Mr. Roosevelt and his friends
are putting great deal of activity
in an effort to secure for him the
presidential nomination in the
next republican convention. But
the business and moral plane on
which they have pitched his cam
paign will hardly appeal to the
conservative American public Mr.
Roosevelt in his speeches is APP
pealing to all the forces of unrest.
These appeals are being pressed
IN a way to repel we'll poised con
sentative men. One thing that
will give pause to patriotic men is
the fact that in the campaign for
his former election the largest cor
ruptiOn fund known IN the history
f this country was raised by the
predatory interests in his behalf
At the time 1t was published that
thousands of this fund was raised
by certain millionaires interested
in the legislation of the country.
Such things as these are rising to
thwart his ambition and are like
an impossible barrier between him
and the goal of his ambition. Mr.
Taft has made IL sane and dignitied
president and has impressed the
country with his integrity. It
looks like the forces of unrest in
his party cannot sidestep him. MI
Roosevelt seems to lean to a pure
democracy. A pure democracy l:
an idle dream, as impracticablC
and more insane than prohibition
The Greeks tried this In the very
apex of their civilization. Their
government under a pure democ
racy was a farce and an utter fail
ure. The mob spirit during thi
period, stirred up by designing
demagogues, kept the country il
constant turmoil. No laws wer,
stable and no rights were safe
That silly experiment has been
warning through the flux of tn,
ages and has prevented another ut
tempt until Theodore Roosevelt
the modern apostle of unrest start
ed the crusade IN this country
The fathers of this republic con
sidered all these questions whel
they framed our constitution an,
modelled the best form of govern
ment this world has ever seen
Their descendants cannot do BET
ter than to stick to the origlna
ideals.

WILL EXPLAIN
BETTER FARMING

Minot, N. D., March 30.-A mann
moth gathering of Minot business men
and farmers of northwestern North
Dakota will be held at the Minot Com
mercial club next Monday evening,
when w. A. Peck, expert of the North
Dakota Better Farming association
will explain the plan that the associa-
ton will adopt in it's campaign in this
section. "a.
MT. Peck is busy laying the founda-
ton for his work in northwestern
North Dakota. After the campaign
starts next Monday, he plans to spend
practically all of his time among the
farmers. He plans to get a motor
cycle on which he will tour the dis
trict covered getting into close touch
with the farmers and assisting them
in every possible way. 4
1.-THE campaign for better farming
will start next Monday" said Secre-
tary Sherman today. "Mr. Peck will
address a meeting of farmers at
brady Saturday afternoon and Mon
day evening he will appear at the
big meeting at the commercial club.
Mr.. Peck and an assistant who will
arrive later will cover practically
eighteen townships. Experimental
tracts of from five to twenty acres
will be conducted in each township.
The idea of this is to show the eff
fects of scientific methods of cultiva-
ton, crop rotation, proper seed Sc
lection, moisture conservation and
the like. The experimental tracts
will be conducted on land offered for
this use by the farmers who will do
the work under the supervision of Mr..
Peck and who will also receive the
benefits in the shape of crop returns.
Further than this, Mr.. Peck and his
assistant will visit all the farmers in
the nefghborhood covered, explaining
just how to apply the best methods
Of cultivation on their own farms,
The plan has been followed C
fully in Minnesota and many other
states and has wrought wonders.

Washington, D.. c., March S0.-Last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbances
to cross continent March 20 to April
2 and April 4 to s, warm waves March
% to April / and April 3 to z, cool
waves March 81 to April 4 and April
6 to 10. This period of two weeks
will average colder than usual al
though the first warm wave will bring
some very warm days. Usually cool
first week in April but not much pre-
~cipitation.
Next disturbance will each Pacific
coast about April h cross Pacific slope
by close of April 8, great central val
leys April 8 to III, eastern sections
April IL. Warm wave will Cross Pa
cifc, slope about April Z, great central
valleys April 9, eastern sections April
IL. Cool wave will cross Pacific slope
about April 10, great central valleys
April IL, eastern sections April IA.
This disturbance will bring an In
creased rainfall and will start a long
spell of hot weather that will greatly
improve the crop weather. The cool
wave to cross continent March 81 to
April 4 will cause the extreme low
temperatures of the month and the
warm wave to cross continent April
26 to 80 will cause the. extreme high
temperatures OF the month. From that
cool wave to that warm wave the
temperatures will rise very much more
than the season would indicate.
I expect April to be an excellent
cropweather month in all sections
with only a few exceptions. The fne
April cropweather win have q buoy
ant effect on all kinds Of business
will tend to increase sales of grain and
cotton and a lowering OF prices as
compared with previous ApriIs. But
before buying or selling you should
carefully consider the possibilities Of
crop weather for other future months

lowing month for each section an6
readers should keep that in mind

have indicated less than usual rain
fall for the month.
Dealers in grain and cotton should
expect prices to be weaker during the
last three weeks of April on account
Of the fine growing weather but Of
course that will be no guide to prices
of later months. Cotton prices will
also depend on the great strike in
Europe. During the growing season
the big spectators will not stand out
long against the weather conditions
and from April IL to the first killing
frosts in the fall crop weather will
largely control prices of farm prod
ucts.
