Of the city of Devils Lake.

1 of the city Of Devils Lake.
The Journal says that The World
was started by gang of "politica
crooks" and "political outlaws" II
this is true the disinterested man will
be willing to admit that Devils Lake
and Ramsey county contain a larger
per centage Of undesirable citizens
than any other city or county in the
United States. The facts are that the
World is either owned or supported
by the best men of the Lake Region
Practically very public official and
prominent citizen Of Ramsey county
is its friend. Seventy-ive per cent
of the total voting population of the
city and county are subscribers or
give it business.
In face Of the fact that the Journal
had been established for number of
years. the sentimnt against that sheet
grew so strong that there was an i'm.
pera.i i've demand for another paper.
The Journal had been used for so long
time to punish and drive out Of poll
teal or commercial life every man
who refused to bow down and con-
tribute its support, that its further
sole occupancy of the newspaper field
here was considered a menace to the
welfare of the city and its citizens,
and The World was established as q
result.
And it has done bretty well, thank
you. 1t has good subscription list,
made up Of people who pay for their
paper and who are interested in its
success. It's advertisers are numbered
among the best and most successful
business men of the city and vicinity.
It is not, in spite of The Journal Is
statement to the contrary run as a
personal organ OF as an apology 70,
gang Of "polit1cal crooks or out
laws"
It was established because the con-
tinued villianous and Matchmaking at
tacks of The Little Cup Of Gall had
become intolerable, and that they were
resented by practically the entire po.
pulation of Devils Lake is pest shown
by the continued growth of this paper.
Concluding, we wish to say that if
The Journal enjoys the course it is
pursuing, by all means it should pro.
coed. If it expects to gain friends
or to bolster up cause that is al
ready lost, by all means it should con-
tinue to blow its own horn. It is de.
ceiving nobody, and it is harming no.
body but its own stockholders. Mis-
representations and falsehoods never
permanently helped cause and never
will.
The course of The Journal is only
to be explained by one Of two things.
Either its editor has suffered a per
manent arrangement of his digestive
organs, or the revenues of the Journal
have been seriously cut into by the
competition o. The World.

Just now the whole progressive
movement in North Dakota is revolv-
ing around few men who have a
chronic itch for office and who have
seized on the opportunity to get in
the limelight and to run for office. 1t
is the old story of the outs trying to
get in. The rank and file Of the
movement are honest and earnest. The
!, aders are self-seeking schemers, who,
soonr or later, will be found out and
repudiated by the rank and file.

Mr.. James W. Foley, Of Bismarck
has the following beautiful tribute
to the dead jurist, Hon. David E
Morgan. ".
The Just and Merciful Judge.
I loved him because he was human
as human man as you II find;
Real to the core of his being, with 9
soul that was blessed and kind;
Friend Of the needy in trouble; chez
Of the struggler in strife;
Sowing the seeds that bring blossom:
all down the way of his life;
Gentle Of speech and in manner
modest and simple and true
leaving
This world of ours better just for hi
having passed through;
Stranger to lie and deception; gra
cious with mercy and mild,
With the strength Of a man, heart o,
woman, and the soil, still IN
spoiled Of a child.
And so, when the strife is all over
and all of our trials andtears;
When life is cast up in the balance
and all of the deeds of our years
Are weighed up and counted ant
measured; when each Of us Step!
to the bar
To answer the roll call of Judgment
and comes to See things as the,
are;
God grant US a judge who's like h.
whs-somebody who just under.

The soul Of man well as he did, ani
put the whole case in his hands
And Mercy will write the Opinion
that comes down to US from above
And Kindness concur in the findings
and their Greater Seal shall b,

1t is unfortunate that the Progress.
sive party in North Dakota appears
to be dominated, at resent, by those
who would sacrifice the head of the
ticket, rather than make any conces-
sion to those who are loyal support
ers Of Roosevelt, but who cannot con.
scientiously "swap horses in mid
stream,' by deserving those state can
didates, whom they have supported
through primary election. The same
facts hold true in the case Of voters
who opposed men who are now the
nominees Of the two parties. They
feel that the primary law, as pro-
gressive measure, and its decisions
must be abided by, or it has no value.
The fight in North Dakota today is
primarily, not a fight to promote the
interests of the Progressive party,
but to defeat L. B. Hanna for gov.
ernor Of North Dakota. Among the
leaders of the movement may be
found those who bear toward him the
most bitter personal animosity. The
success OF destruction of the Third
party is secondary consideration, if
they can accomplish their ends and
defeat the Republican nominee.
There are also good, conscientious
men promoting the Progressive party,
but it is equally true that there are
dominated by the destruotionists.--

quit the senate, or be made to quit.
T. R. could have gone a little further
and included a number Of Penrose's
colleagues in the list of those who
should be removed from the American

one or two here in the northwest who

If it were not a serious matter to
thousands Of Progressives in North
Dakota, the childlike confidence with
which the Roosevelt leaders in the
state are going into the campaign
would be amusing. With the battle Of
their lives aheadf, few men in the
state have laid out plan Of action
which ignores the real leaders Of the
Progressive movement during the past
six years. Like children they have ar.
ranged their men, and confidently ex.
pect to move every one into the king
row.
Mr.. More, Mr.. Lauder, Mr.. Baker,
and other leaders of the movement
must wake up.
Today there are very few of the
real Progressives If the state heart
and soul with them in promoting the
Roosevelt cause. Practically every
Progressive who supported La Toilette
is with Wilson, or hesitant about de.
fights for clean politics in the past
have been made by men who today
hold the trust and confidence of the
people, and these men are not those
terests now. It was these same men
who helped defeat Roosevelt in March
and they must be taken into consider
alton in making the campaign this
fall, or they will do it again.
Among the nominees of the Repub-
lican party in the state may be found
the names of men who are Progress.
sives, but who will refuse to endorse
any ticket which attempts to scratch
the name Of any one man on the
ticket, and substitute a self named
candidate. They have too much re-
spect for the primary law under which
they were nominated to bolt it in the
midst Of a campaign, and if new
candidate for any place on the ticket
is crammed down their threats they
will draw off and watch the Progress
sive ticket go down to defeat without
turning a hand.-valley City Times

NOWADAYS

Folks are telling nowadays
That the DEVILS gone away;
Ministers have caught the craze.
And some preach it, strange to
say.
Claim it isn't, any more,
Right to think there is a hell,
Where the awful fires roar,
And proclaim the sinners knell
Yet when we see
On every hand,
The greedy clutch
That binds the land;
The want, distress and deep despair,
1t seems to us
There is no doubt
The devil still exists somewhere.
Nowadays the fashions run
To a more free thinking view.
For, no mater what you've done,
Fires of hell won't torture you.
'Satan's only just myth,
He's not on EARTH" they say,
'rorturing the sinners with
Fiery brands of hell today"
But when we gaze
Around and see
The wretchedness
And poverty,
The crimes, the wrongs done her,
and there,
1t seems to us
The devil lives
And fires of hell must burn some
where.
For no matter what you've done,

WAPATo is TOO HAsTY

Hints for the Orchard
- - and Farm - y
Decomposing Manure

One of the best methods of decom-
posing manure and retaining most OF
its fertilizing value, is to have a pit
with cement bottom and sides, and
the solid portions of the manure kept
wet by pumping on the heap from the
DRAWINGS for if the manure is kept
damp, its value will be greatly in
creased.
Experiments made show that ma
nure heap carefully managed and kept
wet lost about l per cent of its nitro
gen, while another heap, not kept wet
lost "a per cent of its nitrogen. Ma
nure, even kept wet, will be far more
valuable if, in addition to the cut
straw and stalks used as absorbents
in the stables and lots the manure Is
first covered with dirt or mari, lay
er of manure being followed by lay
er of mari or dirt and the whole well
trampled. Mari is perhaps the cheap
est and best absorbent material
known, as it not only serves to pre-
vent loss, but is clean easily handled
ind costs but very little. 1t can be
used both in the stalls and in the
heap and applied freely it really en-
riches the manure as well as pre-
serves it, for the reason that it con-
tains plant food in an insoluble con-
dtion, which becomes available fol
plants when used with the solids and
LIQUID manure.-Colman's Rural
