CROP PROSPECTS EXCELLENT

The headquarters of the North Dakota
better farming associating at Grand
Forks states that the crop prospects in
North Dakota are excellent. From all
over the state the favorable news.
A general increase in the acreage of
corn, barley and rye and a decrease in
the acreage of wheat is shown Notice
able features in the crop situation are
imp roved methods CT cultivation, which
have generally been accepted in seeding
the increased acreage of corn; pros
poets for a splendid hay crop and a de-.
crease in wheat acreage owing ito the
early freeze up last fall. Greater care
in the selection of seed, building gof
silos, and the prevalence...of the feeling
of the farmers in their expenditure are
Noticeable changes. The only un-
favorable conditions found are in spots
which have received too much moisture.
Speaking of conditions, secretary
Thos. Cooper, of the better farming
association, says: ''Through the south
ern and eastern parts of the state the
conditions are very good. The small
grain is not growing SO very fast but
that is due to the lateness of the season.
However, it Is normal and all that could
be expected. In the northern tier of
counties there has been so much rain
that it has started the general growth
a little, but on the whole it is very good
up there. The barley and fax crops
will be materially better this year than
in some time"

tsIdeas Are Worth Money!,

Advertising men. newspapers and
others have long found it profitable to
pay for suggestions. The Erie railroad
not long ago invited the public to send
in names for the new cut through Ber-
gen hill out Of New York. There were
numerous responses, and the winner
was paid handsomely. The name
adopted, Bergen archways," seems a
tri1e large to become popular, but this
fact in no way detracts from the plan
of paying money for good suggestions.
Still more recently the Pennsylvania
railroad sent a general order to it's
employees on the Buffalo and Allie
gheny Valley division. ideas are
worth money" said the order. "Send
in good suggestions. and we will pay
you for them"
A recent bulletin thus announces the
result Of the experiment:
1.-THE response was immediate. AS
was expected, the men in charge Of
"AluIC OSIdAi paw ways VI ~1uCEedSluS
efficiency which escaped the general
directors of the work. Suggestions
came in from all quarters. Many of
them proved to be Of real value, and
their authors were rewarded in cash."
The bulletin mentions four cases.
One clerk in a roundhouse submitted
a plan for increasing economy by
further use Of carbon sheets remaining
in repair card books; a tinsmith dis
covered an improved method for fas-
tening in engine cabs the boxes con-
tanning flags and other supplies; a fire.
man suggested a plan to save coal; an
inspector perfected an improved ap-
pliance for sterilizing drinking cups.
The plan should prove Of value to
other railroads and various lines Of
business. What concern but has en-
ployees who are sure they could run
the business better than the bosses?
This method would give them a chance
to put their ideas over and to get paid
for them If worth anything.

A CONVENTION FORECAST

We have now approached near
enough to the republican national con-
v@ention to forecast the action OF that
body. Ex-President Roosevelt will, ap-
parently, have a majority of the north
ern states, while President Taft seems
likely to have a majority of the conven-
tion-including the southern delegates,
who represent merely patronage and
Doodle. Mr.. Roosevelt has been care.
full to arrange for contesting delegates
from. the south-this was the first in
dication of his intention to bolt. With
a majority of the northern delegates he
is in position to have a convention OF
his own in case his contesting delegates
are refused admission. The conclusion
therefore, is that Mr.. Roosevelt will be
the nominee of the regular convention
or the nominee of a boiling convention.
Get ready for his candidacy--he is quite
sure to run. Can Roosevelt be defeat
ed? Yes, by any good progressive. A
progressive will hold the democratic
vote and the republicans who oppose a
third term will do the rest. MIR. Clark
and Mr.. Wilson are the leading pro.
gressive candidates-either one of them
can defeated Roosevelt. The country
will never have a president for a third
term.-The Commoner.

HOW WILL THEY VOTE

"Vote rs you shoot used to be the
sapient advice given republicans. We
are hoping they vote as they think. In
those states that furnish the backbone
of tepublicanism, whenever the mem
bers of that party have had a fair chance
to express themselves at primary cleo
ton, they have rejected Mr.. Taft and
the schools of politics ranging from two
to one to twenty to one. The old guard,
however, at this writing, is still imagin-
ing that the Presidents nomination may
be forced by a combination of bosses. A
great majority of free republicans hav,
ing declared they do not believe in what
the president stands for, the bosses pre-
rose to arrange that they shall vote for
him nevertheless. Will they? What,
excep t principles, should attach a plain
voter who isn't seeking Office to a party?
Ii the party repudiates its principles,
what reasonable cause of attachment
is left? In a give.and-take, comprising
world there is usually practical virtue
in submitting to the will of a majority,
but If a great majority that can be COM
PEELED to submit, through party at
tachment, to the will of a small minority
that controls certain political machinery
we are a long way off from democratic
government. To find North Dakota,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Nebraska, or even
Pennsylvania, voting for Mr.. Taft next
Novem Der would be a discouraging sign
of the times Such a showing would
mean that progressives are not yet
ready to throw off boss nominations

Women are to vote in the presidential
contest o. this year in the states of
California, Colorado, Washington,
Wyoming, Idaho and Utah. The re-
publican presidential plurality in 1908
in California was 86,906, in Washington
1884, in Wyoming 1928, in Idaho
l6,459, and in Utah 1914, while Bryan
carried Colorado by 1914. The repub-
lican national campaigners are arrang-
ing to employ a staff of women political
speakers for these six states this fall,
and it is said the democratic national
committee contemplates a similar step.

last aturday with the secretaryo of state
al Bismarck. In aggregate it consisted
of 24l petitions, signed by 3477 demo
cratic voters of North Dakota and every
county in the state was represented on
his petition. We believe we are safe in
stating that it is the largest petition,
either republican or democratic, ever
filed IN the state, when consideration is
given the fact the number of people
that circulated the petition and the

Postal Progress.

Following so closely on the estab-
lishment Of postal savings banks and
the proposal Of u rural parcels post,
the advocacy of government owned
telegraphs by Postmaster General
Hitchcock literally made the country
gasp. Twenty years ago, when the
Populists adopted platform planks
favoring all three Of these. their posi-
ton was considered ultra radical. Yet
today we have one of them in actual
operation, a second urged by the adj
ministration and the third favored by
the head Of the postofice department.
Truly we move fast.
Not that government ownership of
telegraphs is u new departure. 1t
is already established in most Of the
nations of Europe and indeed In most
of the nations Of the world. It was
also advocated by Postmaster Cen
eral John Wanamaker more than
twenty years ago. But it is a new de-
parture for us. whose theory Of gov
eminent has been that business enter
prises should be left as completely as
possible in private hands. This has
been one of our methods of fostering
individual initiative.
1t is announced that the administra-
ton will not back up Mr.. Hitchcock's
proposal and there is no possibility
that congress will act on it at this ses-
sion. The most that his recommended
ton can do is to draw the attention
Of the country to the subject. thus
giving the people time to think it
W. and to investigate the working
of government ownership of teIegraphs
in other lands. j. A. EDGERTON.
