"Some ants do at some times" daddy replied.
Suppose you shut your eyes and go with me into that little ant hill by the

"Everywhere you will meet ants huryfng in and out Some of them will
be carrying grains and seeds to put into their snrehouse for winter. Others
will be carrying the baby ants in " out of the different little rooms OF ellis.
These babies ire at first only tiny white worms. You will notice other ants
carrying little bundles wrapped in white These are sleeping babies who have
wrapped themselves up in gossamer blankets to awaken afera awhile as full
grown ants. Then the ant nursemaids will tear of the covers, and the little
ant will com out OF the cradle.

Press Comment

Sheldon Progress: The disintegration
of a political party was never more
patiently proclaimed than when the
plan Of the republican campaign for
North Dakota. was announced this
week.
The division of labor and RESPONSE
bility' was quite in keeping with the
meeting of the state committee a few
weeks ago..
To National Committeeman Marshall
was allotted the duty of electing, I'M
assisted, the Taft electors.
To the different candidates for con-
gress, to each, the duty of electing
himself and doing it at whatever ex-
pense he may to himself, the republic
an state ticket and the proclaimed
policies of the republican party. 4
The state committee took upon itself
the obligation to elect a republican
administration, and loyalty to the
head Of the ticket is not to be made a
test of party fealty."
The farce-comedy would be ludi-
crous indeed were 1t not for the dan
ger Of the ridicule it evokes causing
the defeat of some men whose services
are really needed by the state.
Marshall's job is even too crude to
laugh at, The relations existing be-
tween him and the Taft administra-
tion are such that the recommended
ton of the national committee
maj could not appoint a fourth-class
postmaster. MarshaH's seat would ere
this have been declared vacant were it
not for the fear and the knowledge
that not even the most loyal support
er of the president could fill the place
with greater gain to him.
The success of the congressional
ticket is urgent not on the strength
of the candidates Cor the platform
they are supposed to stand up on), but
rather upon the weakness of their OPP
ponents. In at least one district it
is safe to say that democratic success
would cause neither surprise nor re-
greet in official republican ranks.
The election of state officers comes
nearer home than all other questions
before the average citizen. North
Dakota has enjoyed six years of the
services Of an executive who not only
compelled honesty and efficiency in all
departments of the government, but
who gave the state a standing and
prominence abroad which it had never
had before. Three men are now striv-
ing for the succession.
1t is notable that in his speech al
Fargo this week, when he fired the
opening gun of the campaign, the
governor said not a word in support

The Progress does. that while he
might consider his ma a good enough
prison warden, he thought him far too
small potatoes to stand sponsor for
him as governor of a great and SOW

for democratic success only where he
honestly believes it will best serve the

want to stand sponsor for an unfit or

at least without double insoles.

no axe to grind, 1t strikes The Prog

greater range of subjects. than that OF

His one ambition seems to be doing
something to better his standing, and
while this may be politics. it's good

though even he who is tired of be-

has ceased to be Indifferent to
changing conditions and unfitness of
candidates, would have little hesita-
ton in picking him for the governor
ship.
The Progress mourns not the passing
of the party and the party man."
They served their purpose long and
well, but their need is no more. Con-
ditions have developed in a decade un-
der which parties and party organi-
cations are no longer needed to ac-
quaint the people with policies and
with men. People no longer 'eat
what's set before them" but public
men must get and hold their jobs
by merits of their own, and not by
favor of the boss.
With the passing of these ancient
gods, though, there rests pom the
citizen a duty not to be ignored. that
is that he use the means SO given
him to acduaint himself with those
who seek his suffrage, else his errors
will be greater than when he took his
political wisdom from the mouth of
the party's country savers at so much
per save.

He scatters all his gold,
