ON POLITICAL INTOLERANCE.

The intolerance Of the reformer is
proverbial. It takes a broad man n
champion what he believes to be a
great moral reform, and at the same
time to concede sincerity to the MANY
who oppose it. Some political Pro.
gressives nowadays show this spirit
OF intolerance for the opinions of 9th.
ers forgetful of the fact that freedom
Of opinion ls one Of the foundation
stones of our system if government.
Occasionally The Journal finds illus
tration of this singular intolerance Of
the other man g opinion when it r.
ceives a letter from reader, who
taking violent exception to some edi
torial statement, orders his paper stop
ped. So many men, SO many opinion,
thus runs the old Roman adage.
The broad and useful man in tn,
community is he who, holding stron,
beliefs Of his own and acting upo,
them, nevertheless can understand how
others may differ from him and vet b,
honest and light-hearted. He VIII,
thinks the newspaper that does no
voice his individual opinions is there
Hiore venal and insincere, is too marrow
lobe of much use to the community
But he had charity and tolerance 70
his political opponents. Here is wha
he said at Springfield, Ill.,, on Novem
Der 20, 1850, on the occasion of cele
bration over his election to the presi
dency, and at moment when bite
partizan spirit ran high:

AS TO HARD TIMES.

There probably never has been a
time in the history of the country
when prosperity was so general or 50
evenly distributed as it is in this year
of preachment and turmoil over the
high cost Of living. # the farmers of
this country are not contented with
things as they are, they are certainly
a hard lot to please. They should re.
vert to the years 1s94-1s95-1s96 and
1897, when wheat sold around half.
dollar per bushel, corn slumped to 25
cents per bushel and cotton sold for
less than half the present market

ceeded in its dirty campaign against
the county auditor is because there
was not spot on his record.

North Dakota business men cannot
be too careful, from now on, abou,
leaving money and valuables in their
places Of business over night. The
present bountiful crop, with its pro.
mise of unlimited money ODE brought
into the country, is sure 60 attract
yeggs, or safe breakers from all over
the country, and safe robberies are to
be expected with regularity from now
until the first of January next. Take
your money and valuable papers and
deposit them in some good bank. Ex.
perienced yeggs seldom attack the
vaults Of banks nowadays, devoting
most Of their time to safes in stores,
postoffices and other Offices. Take no
unnecessary chances.

The heavy rains Of the past week
have undoubtedly done considerable
damage to North, Dakota's standing
crops. The heavy fall of water, &C.
companied as it was in many instances
by strong. winds, lodged much. Of the
grain, and it IS doubtful If this ' will,
ever straighten up. The low places in
many fields are full Of water, and the
grain standing thereon will probably
be total loss, as the farmers will be
unable to run their binders over such
ground. OF course the heaviest dam.
age is confined to comparatively small
areas, but the loss is sure to be con-
siderable, nevertheless.

price. As to the city dweller, while
he may be paying more for his food
supply than in 1896, he-generally
speaking-has steady work and bette,
pay than in the hard.time years.
The Kansas City Journal tells q
story of early Kansas days which has
reference to hard times that were sure
enough hard times. Back in 1860 q
young married couple owning an OK
team and two Industrious hens, settled
upon a Kansas homestead. The first
year the grasshoppers ate up the crops
and that winter the family was en-
tirely dependent upon the two hens
for groceries. The nearest grocery
store was eighteen miles away, and
along in January the family ran GU,
Of saleratus-bread soda. The egg sur
plus rounded up just eleven; but by
borrowing an egg an even dozen was
obtained for traffic at the grocery
store. The husband made the 3e.mile
round trip and returned with the sale
ratus.
In these days Kansas farme-- are
riding around in automobiles, and
though they growl good deal owe,
the grasping ways of Wall Street, they
seem to have ready money to blow in
for whatever fad attracts their fancy
There is theory that the country has
to get hit now and then with real
hard times in order TO teach the av.
erage citizen to let we'll enough alone
1t is really true that too long-continu
ed prosperity grows oppressive.-Bow'

NORTH DAKOTA ROADS,

Within the next sixty days North
Dakotans will have more real use fol
the country roads than for the past
nine or ten months. The immense

important factor. The farmer, with
good roads into town, has all kinds Of
advantages over the man who hash It

BOOZE ON TRAINS.

North Dakota has a law which pre-
vents the sale or drinking Of liquor
on board trains running through this
state. It is wise measure in the
interest of decency and order.
Men and women-who do not trav-
Ell extensively and who have not had
barring experiences on trains dominat-
ed by drunken hoodlums OF made Of
fensive by intoxicated travellers who
kept all the passengers in a sleeping
car awake for hours-do not appre-
ciate how thoroughly the average
traveller approves the Pennsylvania
railways action in barring the sale Of
liquor on its trains.
Following in the steps of the Penn
sylvania, the Lackawanna has also
done away with liquor on its trains.
Similar action was taken by the Bal
timore & Ohio some time ago. 1t is
likely that every railway of conse.
quence in the United States will take
similar action within a short lime.
Railways cannot with consistency
demand that their employees shall be
total abstainers-both while on duty
and off duty-and at the same time
! carry bar on their trains and thus
put temptation into the way of ehe
very man from whom they exact all
etinence.
By dropping liquor railways will
= probably have a few complaints from
travelers-who declare their personal
liberty is abridged when they are de-
:, MED beer and wine and whiskey with
their meals. But the majority Of trav.
elers place a higher value on sober
4, train crews and safe travel conditions
Z: than they do on the walls of a few
passengers who love the grape.
One eastern paper in discussing the
action of the Pennsylvania remarked
! that it was reassuring to see a great
system declare its independence of the
! slight income derived from the bar
!. privileges On its trims. The Memphis

= railroads would adopt the same lille a.
that the Pennsylvania railroad has
adopted. 1t would make travelling
more pleasant. It would reduce the

travellers. -,
II There is but small profitin the sale
OF liquor on the Pullman and dining
cars. The roads sell liquor more from
spirit Of accommodation than from
desire to make money.
II is not known how the general
public will accept this rule, but the
chances are that the people will see
and understand the rights and priv.
leges Of the travelling public. It is a
