This country is placed in pecu-
liar position regarding the chronic
revolutions IN Mexico. Not only
Americans. but Englishmen, Ger
mans and Frenchmen, have invested
largely in Mexican commercial un-
dertakings. both belligerents- fed
erals and insurgents appear to be

of the republic. There is naturally
much Indignation in the European
countries whose citizens were in
vited by the Mexican government to
invest money in Mexico. and so in
vested. To the great powers across
the sea our attitude regarding the
Monroe Doctrine appears to be that
of the dog in the manager. While
we forbid European governments to
enter Mexico tor the purpose of pro-
tecting the interests of their citizens,
we ourselves do nothing to compel
Mexico to protect them. In fact,
the condition of anarchy existing in
that country seems to preclude the
possibility of protection from any
internal source. Uncle Sam will
have to keep his eyes open in this
Mexican matter or he''will see three
or -four European nations sending
their fleets to the Mexican coasts for
the purpose Of compelling the observ-
ance Of those treaty rights to which
the foreign-born in Mexico are en-
titled. And, Monroe Doctrine or nc
Monroe Doctrine. American believ.
ers in a square deal would have little
to criticize in the acts of country
that was determined to protect its
citizens from outrage by a nation OF
robbers and cut-throats.

Iover the state, farm work is
eng prosecuted with the usual
/springtime vigor. The fact OF two
poor years in some parts OF the state
doee not seem to have discouraged
any one. Gradually the state is
changing from an almost exclusive
growing of grain to the production
of diversified crops. During the
winter months which have just pass
ed, the most energetic and persistent
campaign of instruction in better
farming methods that North Dakota
has ever experienced took place.
Commercial clubs composed OF the
farmers and the business men in
many sections have We'd with one
another in the holding of farmers
Institutes and other educational
functions, most Of the expense
therefor owing to the governors
veto of large part of the institute
appropriations being paid by vol
untary contributions. There is one
great advantage to be found by
agriculture in a prairie state. No
long years of body racking are
necessary to grub out a farm and
get it in good condition for crops.
In this region. when the good years
come. the farmer is always to be
found with large-sized acreage in
crop. even If his home has been here
but few years. and thus he is in
condition to recoup with a good yield
or two the losses of the poor grain
years. And. when it is considered
that the increase in the production
of corn, live stock and dairy products
does not necessarily mean smaller
crops of grain. surely there is moth
ing in the outlook to discourage any
one who has made his home in
North Dakota. If the change to d.
versified farming necessitated the
dropping of grain-raising entirely,
there might be reason to doubt the
desirability of the change. But il
means nothing of the kind. II
means that more of the fertility ia
ken from the soil is returned to it,
producing larger crops on lesser
area, and thus adding to the income
the entire profit from the adj
ditional diversified products raised
In other words, if one raises corn
and hogs and milks cows. it isn't
necessary that he abandon the pro
duction of wheat.

The supreme court of the free and
independent commonwealth of North
Dakota has once more squatted on
the official form of the noted A. Mil
Ter, attorney general of said com.
monwealth, the gentleman who goes
about Bismarck with the thirst of a
camel and the assumed wisdom of
an owl, scattering official opinions
anywhere and everywhere for any,
body's asking. If the primary law
is to be continued, it is absolutely
necessary that some way be found by
which the members of each party
will be made to hoe their own
taters. !" If the voters of party,
that hasn't much of a contest at a
primary, wish, they may vote the
ticket of their antagonists, and thus
perchance nominate the weakest
candidates to oppose their own can
didates at the regular election. To
cure this radical defect in the pri-
mary law, the last session of the
Progressive legislature made it the
duty of the states assessors to ascer-
tain the party utilization of all vo-
tiers. Then came an opinion by a
deputy of Andy Miller to the effect
that the law referred to is unconsti-
tutional. On test case the state
supreme court last Monday decided
that the law is all right, except that
foreign-born citizens cannot be COM
PEELED to show their naturalization
papers.

The Socialist bubble received bad
puncture in the city of Milwaukee
last week. The town had Socialist
mayor who had been chosen at the
last preceding election. Like the
average Socialist whom one hears
discussing economic questions, the
Milwaukee paragons were going to
bring about the millennium in Mil
waukee and add more happiness to
those beatific conditions causedbyt the
opportunity offered for cheap pur-
chases of lager beer. However.
after the Socialists won, instead Of
lowering taxes and improving the
municipal situation otherwise, they
pretty nearly swamped the city with
assessments, and hundreds of Social
lists were provided with jobs where
no such jobs were necessary. So the
people of Milwaukee, when the cam
palgn came on, recognizing the diff
ference between Socialistic theory
and practice, gathered themselves
together and smote the disciples Of
Lassalle and Karl Marx hip and
thigh, beating the ticket of that
party by about thirteen thousand
votes. Human nature is about the
same in all parties, and no ism
has monopoly of goodness or bad
ness. If we were all angelic il
heart, Socialism would be an idea
form OF society. But we are fal
