with the cNpcr who will come i'm
mediatclN 10 Grand Forks county to

One reason why it WAS imperativn
for h county commissioners To sign
the contract with tn" Better Farmin;,
association Tuesday, for II appro-
priation of $500 for the work in the
county this Year. was that Mr.. Center
had to know not later than toda;-
whether he would bc considered for
the position in the better farming
movement in North Dakota. He is
said to have had other offers that
also demanded immediate acceptance
or refusal. Now that tho commissions
ers have signed the contract there is
hardly a question in the minds of the
members of the county committee on
better farming hut that the Illinois
expert will accept the proposition
rendered him by Director Cooper.
Has Been Il Leader.
Mr.. Center has been a leading agri-
cultural expert in Illinois for several
Years. He is looked upon in that Soc
ton of the country as an authority
on ul-to-datr farming. He has beer
associated with the Illinois agricul-
tural coll"s" for some time. establish
ing an cnviahlc reputation for HIM
self in the work.
Photographed Congratulations.
Director Cooper this morning tele-
eraplrd his congratulations to Grand

Establish Many Demonstration Farms.
President Lander of the Better
Farming association in Grand Forks

though the work will be started "a lit
tie later thar desired. ten or twelve
demonstration farms will be conduct
ed in the county this year and that as
MUCH MoIh VIII DC done TINS season
in the way of better farming as pos
sible."
The farmers in the vicinity of Ink
ster have erinccd marked interest in
the matter of securing an appropria-
ton from the county commissioners
for the work. They sent three differ
cnt delegations to Grand Forks to
meet With the commissioners and
there is said to be rejoicing in that
section over the signing of the con-
tract with the Better Farming asso-
citation. At present Inkster is seeking
for II of the demonstration plots
and it is almost certain that one will
be established in that district.

eide upon the date and make other

have all completed their work, and
IaFollette's actual majority is 1904.
That figure includes the Mckenzie
county count as shown by the audi
tors figures. but which have not been
certified to the state canvassIng board.
LaFollette's total vote in the state
was 34.12l; that Of Roosevelt IL g..
2l7. and that of President Taft is but
1859, making the total Republican
presidential vote 59,997.
Thomas Marshall. as the candidate
for republican national committee
man. secured the biggest majority ac-
vote of 36.323 to 1908. His opponent
was F.. S. Cooper.
One interesting fact brought to
light by the official figures is found in
that Porter j. McCumber has receive
ed the endorsement for vice president.
This. in the opinion OF a number of
Grand Forks attorneys. binds the dele.
cation to the republican national con-
vention to support him for such NOM
nation.
The low provides that the names of
delegates nus be- printed On the ball
lot. and also that a certain petition
must be filed. but those holding in ia
vor of McCumber's endorsement point
to the fact that a candidate can be
elected to an office without petition,
and without his name appearing on
the ballot.
Senator McCumber's total vote in
the state is about 500.
The following is the total vote for
the various republican candidates:

government, largely because of the
economic conditions involved, have
tried to better things by becoming
active in political matters. 1t isn't
claimed that any very great influence
has yet been felt, but it is truly to
be hoped that, when women take an
Intelligent interest in conditions in
their immediate vicinity, those con-
ditions will change for the better
If there is one State in the Union
needing new influence and gen
eral clearance of conditions political
and social, that State is Illinois.
The blacklist pages in her history
have been written in the past FIVE
years.
Jane Adams, one of the bravest
and brainiest women of our time, has
done more practical good in Chicago
than any dozen men have accom-
pllshed in any given time there.
Civil service rules have been in
effect in Chicago, for several years,
and the benefits to municipal chart
table organizations were great. The
politician, ever eager for graft, hav-
ing realized the enormous sums being
withheld by means of the civil SER
vice rules, has cleverly managed to
"do away" with them, and the benef-
cent system has been overthrow,
and the poor, the afflicted and the
ignorant will suffer accordingly.
There has been nothing to criticize
in Miss Adams administration of
the splendid work she has carried on
for years in Chicago. She has seen
the boys and girls who benefited
from her efforts, develop into splen-
did men and women.
One would naturally think that, in
this instance, the question Of
woman's fitness for any right" a
man enjoyed in the administration
of a city's affairs would have no
room for doubt.
One would expect the women Of
Chicago to have seen so much Of the
results Of Miss Adams efforts that
would be easy.
When one has read of the Lorimer
case, of the open bribery which was
resorted to in order that this oily
politician might take seat in the
highest legislative body in the land,
one would suppose that every think
ing woman in the State would be SO
keenly alive to the deplorable condi-
tions as to make her determine to
do her individual utmost to better
them.
But Illinois doesn't loom at all
large as the abode OF the Suffragettes.
The percentage Of cultured, intelli-
gent women is as large there as it is
in Kansas, California or Michigan.
The need for change in political
conditions is greater there than in
any of the other States named, and
yet the women have done least there
to use their influence.
Why is this? Doesn't it prove
conclusively that women, in the con-
crete, are not able yet to grasp the
full importance Of questions relative
to suffrage? Doesn't it prove beyond
doubt that women have not yet
emerged from the theoretical state
of mind and become practical enough
to recognize cause and effect Of polit-
ical conditions?
Senator Cul]om, after serving fifty
nine years in Illinois politics, has
