Daddy's Bedtime

On the Kids

ADDY had wondered for the ninetyninth time what he should talk
about, for, OF course, Jack and Evelyn would not let him OF from the
bedtime story.
I'm one Of tb lonenest woods once Lived Mrs Goat with her
family OF three little kids" he began.
Mrs. Goat always told the young ones to shut the door after she had gone
out and lock It, Don't let any one in while I'm away
Here's your Uncle Baa Baa come to visit you the wolf said one day
outside the door in q voice he tried to make a much like a Sleeps as he
could. He wore a sheepsktn over his back.
IT'S odd mother had never said anything to us about having an Uncle
Ba Baa' said tie eldest kid, but I'm going to look out
"He looks like a quiet old sheep said the eldest kid
"And the second kid climbed up and looked at Mr.. Wolf.
"If he is our old uncle 1t would be very rude of us to keep him outside
she said as she climbed down.
"But the third kid wouldn't look out.
Mother told US not to open the door for any one, and we must obey her,
she said If he's really our good old uncle he won't mind waiting outside till
mother comes
but the eldest kid said she would just open the door n a wee, wee crack
to get a better look at him. AS soon a Mr. Wolf saw the crack he pushed
hard and in a minute was inside the cottage. He dropped the skeepskin in
getting inside.
"'Quhk, sisters to the lonr cried the youngest kid, spnngng up the rope
ladder and they hadn't a minute to spare in getting out Of Mr. VOLTS way
He would have followed the kids to the loft, for he was hungry as could
be, but the youngest kid had whkked the ladder up out OF his reach.
when Mrs. Goat got home there was Mr.. Wolf smiling about the house
looking for a morsel to eat
Down went Mrs Goats head. and quickly she sent him spinning out Of
the cottage. He carried the marks Of her horns in bis hide for many a day.
"And then Mrs. Goat shut and locked the door and called the kids from the
loft After she had heard their story she gave them their supper of milk
porrdge and said:
lyon, Lihlest Kid, have done we'll, and so you shall have a cheese cake
with your porridge but you, Eldest Kid, and you, Second Kid, have been fool
ish and "a have none'" 5.

BIG BATTLESHIP

The democrats appear to have found
q way out Of the hole they had digged
for themselves by political chicanery
in congress. They have discovered a
way to escape political embarrassment
no matter what the expense.
They have provided for one battle
ship. 1t is to be a monster. 1t is to
cost SIS, 9o0, 900. Just to what extent
political scheming and the idiocy of
some congressional representatives ex-
tends is shown in this affair. II
doesn't matter that this $f5,8 600, 600
battleship will be unable to enter most
of the government dry docks. The
democrats don't care If 1t is too large
to enter any except the deepest har-
bors on salt water. Neither do they
care II 1t is too large to pass through
the Panama canal. They are not both
ering themselves about the fact that 1t
will burn coal like a con1agration and
entail an enormous responsibility onto
the n~avigators. The fact that ii
won't shoot any farther or be any bet
ter than any other battleship does not
worry the d~emocrats-so long as they
feel they have gotten out Of a close po-
litical corner.

TO HELP WORLD WRITE.
United States Leads in Expectation of
TypeWriters.


Christian Science Monitor: The
bureau of statistics of the department
Of commerce and labor is evidently
pleased to be able to say that the
United States leads the world in the
expectation of typewriters, for a bulie-
tin which 1t has just issued on the
subject sets out this fact firstly and
forcibly. In a single month of this
year, April, exports under that head
exceeded $~1,000,00G, as against $138, 232
in April of 1897. This is indicative of
the growth in such expectation annu-
ally for several years. In 1897 the
total value of those Sent out of the
country commercially was $l,453,170;
ten years later the valuation had in
creased to $6,274,4S0, and this year 1t
will probably approximate $12, 600, 900.
The expectation of computing ma
chimes, adding machines, ETC., has
grown in the same proportion. Taking
the valuation of these in the aggregate
the United States is far in the lead of
other countries manufacturing and ex-
porting them. In round figures, the
total value of exports of ali such ms
chimes by the United States is S15,-
0 1000, by Germany $4,000, 900, by
France $421,319, and by the united
kingdom Cypewriters only) $131, 900.
Germany e~&pOTLaJlonS are mostly oil
the computing machine order.
'Typewriters and kindred machines
exported from this country find their
principal market in Europe where, as
the bulletin says, business and In
dustry have long been in a state OF
high development" That is. to say
there is greatest demand for these time
and labor saving machines in countries
where business has become thoroughly
sytematized. Nevertheless, there is a
large and growing market for them ir
Canada, Argentine and Australia, as
Of course, there is throughout the
United States. The figures show how
rapidly the individual countries have
been accepting these Yankee notions
in recent years.
Similarly, there is a constant and
rapid growth in the demand abroad
for all kinds of delicate machinery
manufactured in this country-fol

ton, for telegraph and telephone in.

Press Comment

Lisbon Free Press: 1t may be put
down as certain that l.. B. Hanna viii

in November. He was eminently fair
in his canvass in the primary and made
no bitter personal enemies and every
one recognizes in him an able, energet-
ic business man and executive. lie VIII
stand on a progressive platform, such
as we have supported in this state for
the past four years.
Bathgate Pink Paper: Hurrah for
Professor Ladd! He has issued an
edict that catsup or other food products
made from decayed or spoiled fruits
and vegetables can not be shipped back
to the original shipper, but that in each
case where he finds such goods appii-
cation will be made to the courts for
an order to destroy them. The people
of this state stand squarely behind Pro-
lessor Laid in his splendid work to Sc
cure pure food products. He is capable
and honest and pretty strong proof
will have to be adduced If in any in
stance he is thought to be wrong by
the general public.
Lisbon Free Press: one Of the mis-
takes the third party will make in this
state is to nominate a state ticket. The
issues Of the third party are largely
confined to national policies. Roose-
welt and johnson have even praised the
republican party of the west for pro-
gressive legislation and the stand TAX
en- on national issues. Therefore 1t
is the height of folly to inject a state
fight over two sets Of oficfais, both pro-
gressive and divide the vote, giving
the democrats their only chance OF
carrying the state. 1t is neither good
politics nor political wisdom and If car
ried out will lienate a large number
Of voters who would support the Roose-
welt policies on national issues, but who
do not desire to mix up In a fanny

we should support the state and
county tickets we have nominated In The
primaries from governor down to the
least important office and thus insure
a square deal.
LaMoure Echo: The progressive

ents on platform construction. Now If
the American people can be shown that
the plans and specifications were not

Linton Record: The Record
has always commended that the prohibit
ton law in this state has been largely
responsible for the converting of beer
many sections, where an effort is made
to enforce the law, the bulky charac-
ter of beer and the lesser pront In It's
sale makes it less popular than whisky
many who, under a license system
would use the milder beer as a bever-
age switch to the stronger drink. As
there are several states in the union
wherein the same conditions as to pro-
hibition exist as in North Dakota, Ii
it not likely that this is the cause OF
falling off in the consumption of beer
and the increase in the use OF whisky

ONE U r

The people rule Is one Of the beliefs
which have become deep planted in
the American mind. by that 1t is
meant that the people govern-that
they are the masters OF their own fate,
Perhaps better political conditions
will come only when the fallacy Of the
doctrine enunciated is made plain.
Governing is a science. 1t has to do
with tremendous financial, commercial,
diplomatic and historical problems. II
takes an expert to govern skillfully and
equitably. The people do not govern
they merely elect the men whom they
believe to possess the governing fac
ulty.
Yet they manifest less s~tudiousness
and precaution in making their selec-
tions-than a pigeon fancier exercises
when he undertakes to populate his
cote.
They favor good fellows forgetful
Of the fact that the average politician
is a good fellow-only on the eve of
election. They think highly of the
mar who can make a thrilling speech
forgetting that the gift of public or
atory has nothing more to do with a
mans integrity than the ability to sing
or dance. They are loyal to a neigh
Dor, though a better man may live in
the next block.
There should be a general realization
Of the fact that the people do not rule
that they are more or less at the
mercy of the men whom they appoint
to the task of ruling. Their selections
should be made just as a merchant
chooses his assistants, or a shipowner
his pilot. or a railroad superintendent
his engineers. Then there might be a
possibility that all our American COM
munities might be governed properly
as a lamentable majority of them
now are not.

CHEERFUL PROSPECTS.

Not even the unusually large num-
er of candidates and political parties
and the usual hoodoo of presidential
year-can prevent an optimistic bust
ness sentiment all over the country.
The harvests are SO large they have
apparently overcome all handicaps.
The great business enterprises of the
country appear fortified against the
possibility Of danger from any polit-
ical changes. In fact the political eff
feet on the country has already been
discounted. North Dakota like the
rest of the country-can't be held down
no matter who is elected president.
The country is safe from unexpected
surprises and the generally cheerful
view of the outlook is certainly most
encouraging.

candidacy of Colonel Roosevelt and

Journal had the following editorial:
While there Is nothing convincing in

Roosevelt as to how George w. Perkins

that Roosevelt still sticks to it in
spite of the recent revelations con-
corning the operations of the steel and
harvester trusts during his second
term. In his speech at Revere Beach,
Mass, the other day, the colonel said
that Perkins came to him and an

Those who have absented themselves
from the temple Of worship for several
