That dairylng can be carried on with
profit and without inconvenience on the
average farm is shown by the experience
of John H. Miller, a farmer living in
Bottineau county. Five dairy COWS have
paid Mr.. Miller a profit during the past
year of s1.S3 daily. From the product
of the five cows 1900 pounds of butter
was made which sold for S3327,6O. He
also raised five calves which he sold for
s7o. Ten hogs, milk fed, were also
raised on the milk Of the five COWS and
they are worth 5000. Butter used on the
farm is worth $92,40, making a total Of
$3.50 for the year; and this In addition to
the milk and cream supply for house
hold purposes. Grand Forks dairymen
bear out MIR. Miller's figures. What one
can do another can also do, and
what North Dakota wants is more dairy
farming.

The --latest Polar Tragedy.

The long list OF polar fatalities has
reached its elimination in the death Ut
Captain Robert +. Srott and his four
companions on their return from the
south pole. Their fate is doubly pa
thetic, They reached the goal OF their
terrible trip only to lind that another
had attained it a month before. They
conquered the antarctic to meet death
when almost in sight Of a return to
civilization.
Polar exploration spells 800 years of
heartbreaking failure and pitiful trag-
edies. While proud Of the human
heroism displayed and enriched by the
scientific data gained, we are impelled
to wonder, after all. If the game has
been worth the candle. Peary reached
the north pole after twenty-three years
of effort only to find on his return to
civilization that another claimed to
have f%orestalled him. While the i'm
posture was finally exposed, it lasted
long enough to dim the glory Of his
triumph. Shackleton was compelled
to turn back when almost within sight
Of the south pole. Scott's fate is the
saddest of all.
Perhaps Captain Roald Amundsen
has been the most fortunate of polar
explorers. Discoverer OF the north
magnetic pole and of the northwest
passage and first to reach the south
pole. his is a triple share Of polar
glory. But call no nan happy before
his death. Captain Amundsen is now
about to embark on an enterprise more
hazardous. perhaps. than any he has
yet undertaken. He will attempt to
drift through the ice packed northern
sea from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
This will require years. and the end
of it no man can foretell.

A Senate.

SuduSAHS senate.
The death of Senator 1sidor Rayner
OF Maryland not only removes one Of
the ablest constitutional lawyers in
the upper house. but tltrows the CON
troll of that body in the Sixty-third
congress in doubt. The margin was
uncomfortably narrow before. With
Illinois and some other states doubt
full because Of the new Progressive
party holding the balance of power in
forty-nine votes certain. or a majority
of two in the chamber. The death of
Rayner decreases this to forty-eight.
The governor of Maryland is Il Repub-
lican. and the Democratic legislature
does not meet till 1914, which insures
a Republican senator till that time. II
the Republicans or Progressives should
elect all the senators from the doubt
full states the senate would be a tie.
with Vice President Marshall casting
the deciding vote. The presence Of
several Progressive senators. however.
and of such radical Republicans as La
Toilette would prevent the Republican
party from holding a compact vote, so
that the closeness of the chamber may
not so much matter.
The change in the upper house in the
past two years has been tremendous.
The old group has almost wholly dis
appeared. Aldrich and Hale have re-
tired; Cullom. Bailey, Crane. Foster.
Paynter, Briggs. Wetmore and Dixon
retire at the end of this congress-.
Frye. Hepburn, Nixon and Rayner are
dead. In the new senate a number of
former house members will be seen
Ransdell. Sheppard, Hughes, James
and others. One picturesque figure
will be former Governor Vardaman Of
Mississippi. Two new faces will ap-
pear from Illinois, two from Colorado.
one each from Maine. Rhode Island.
Massachusetts. New Jersey. Delaware.
Maryland. Louisiana. Mississippi. Ten.
nessee. Texas, Kentucky, Kansas, Ne
braska. Montana, Idaho, Nevada, Ore
gon and possibly some other states.
George W. Norris, the Progressive
fighter in the house, is one of those
promoted. Governor Shafroth and for
mer Governor Thomas of Colorado
will be among the new Democratic
majority. There will be at least five
Progressive senators.
Even though the senate is close it is
measurably certain to favor tariff re.
duction by a substantial majority. That
is true ever Of the present body. in
which the Republicans have n nominal
majority Of seven. In the coming sen
ate the progressive element in all par
ties will have increased strength.

Pensioning Ex-Presidents.

The audacity of Andrew Carnegie's
offer to pension future ex-presidents
of the United States made the nation
gasp once or twice and then break out
in Homeric laughter. 1t is doubtful ii
there will yer be an ex-president with
so little self respect that he would
accept charity from such a source, and
even if there should be the nation
would not permit it. The incident
may serve II good purpose. however.
1t may arouse congress to provide
some dignifed and fitting support for
those who have held our highest Office.
A bill has already been introduced
to make ex-presidents members of the
house. but without a vote. The rea-
son the vote is withheld is that to be-
stow it would require a constitutional
amendment. For giving the house the
benefit Of their experience their re-
Enumeration under this measure would
be $17,50O per year. 1t has also been
suggested that they be given a seat in
the senate. One man would make
them members Of both houses. That
might be a happy solution, but even
a former president is hardly numerous
enough to be in two places at once.
1t seem a pity that the United
States has not a body corresponding
to the Japanese elder statesmen. This
would be an ideal berth for presidents
out Of a job. All this aside, our for
mer chief magistrates have managed
fairly we'll. thank you. and can proba-
bly, do so in future. even without a
pension. At any rate. they have cut
a vastly more digni6ed figure than
they would have done accepting char
1ty from a private individual. If they
require assistance it should be given
by nothing less and by nobody less
than the entire nation.

That the democratic party as elected

is certain, because business is not dis
turbed, hating, or afraid, and business
men know the vast number of great
questions, including the tariff, that are
to be handled and adjusted. This situa-

The Prophet and the Groundhos.

The Prophet and the G~roundhog.
There are weather prophets and
weather prophets. Some OF them hit
it and more Of them miss. Some work
by the signal service and some by the
goose bone. Some receive u salary
for their representations and some
receive nothing-not even a kind word.
During the warm days OF January.
when the oldest %inhabitant was lament
ing that we never had winters now
like we had when he was Il boy. a new
prophet arose in the land. He had
risen before, but this was his latest
rising. His name is Devoe. and he
lives in Hackensack. N. j. He blithely
Informed the ice man that there was
no need to worry; that February would
give US all the winter required: that
there would be ice a foot thick on the
rivers, likewise divers storms and all
the other appurtenances OF a we'll regu.
lated winter.
Thereupon the popnlace laughed
Prophet Devoe to scorn. Warm with
tiers had come to stay, said they. They
waxed merry owe Devoe's town of
Hackensack and made facetious re-
marks about his state of New Jersey.
Devoe simply waited and let the
weather do its worst. p.
Meanwhile another prophet came on
the scene. he was no other thar our
old friend the grounding. On Feb. z
he crawled out of his hole. as per sched-
ule. and his shadow looked as big as a
house. Back he went. and the weather

eter e down faster than prices in

habit of making monkeys out Of proph-
cts. but they did nothing OF the kind
with Devoe and the grounding. They
were hand in glove. likewise hand in
paw. with this propheticai twain.
Wherefore we rise to nominate

before it is pulled off BY which token
Devoe and the said grounding are just
