The decision of Germany, as well as
Great Britain, not to appropriate money
for official representation at the Pan
anna Pacific exposition in 1915 is APP
parently quite serious blow to the
hopes of San Francisco; but it is likely
to be found that the declarations OF
the two nations to participate will have
really small effect on the exposition,
either in-point of attendance or in d.
versity of attractions. National build
ings are valuable largely in that they
add to the multiplicity of exhibits.
Therefore, the Californians need not
worry greatly if the sentiment for non
participation does not spread rapidly.

Boston's system OF nominating candi-
dates for mayor does not seem to be
conducive to honesty when it is alleged
that of the 1890 names on certain
candidates nomination papers 1000 were
false. How far are we getting away
from the corruption of the old system
which caused change in the desire to
arrive at clean politics 1t looks a
good deal like jumping from the frying
pan into the fire.

real occasion to look back on short
nine months in the presidency with nc
small satisfaction. Already in his ca
reer he has demonstrated that he is a
president not given to unnecessary blus-
ter and braggadocio but rather to action
At the outset of his occupancy of the
chief executives chair he stated that
two of the important works which he
hoped to see accomplished were the adop.
tion of tariff measure and the secur-
ing of new currency system for the
country. To-day it lacks but slight
work to mark the accomplishment of
those two purposes; and all followers
of affairs in the national capital are
forced to admit that President Wilson
has been largely instrumental in having
those bills passed by Congress. There
fore, whatever else may be said for or
against President Wilson, it must be
stated that he is man of great force
and persistency, picking out the course
he believes to be right and sticking to
that course through thick and thin. 1t
is left for time, to determine the wis
dom of those laws; and candid persons.
no matter of what political affiliations,
will be willing to give each of them q
fair trial. As to another great policy
which President Wilson has adopted
that in relation to Mexico-we can only
hope that the course to which he so per-
tinaciously clings shall eventuate we'll,

country to the south of us.

PIONEER PAPER OF THE COUNTY

Thomas Hall, secretary of state.
writes to the Fargo Forum q quite
sarcastic letter alleging that he has
not rejected the Blue Book, which is
published by state authority and is
paid for by the state. Well, If he
has not done so, and he is a faithful
officer. carefully guarding the in
terests of the state, he ought to do
so. 1t is doubtful whether any state
in the Union has ever had such a
job of "blacksmithing" foisted upon
it. There is scarcely page of the
book that does not contain one or
more errors. As sample Of the
lack of intelligence in the proof.
reading one has but to refer to the
list of North Dakota consuls, where,
on two pages, the word consul" is
spelled counsel" in five separate
and distinct instances. As matter
of fact, the Blue Book, under the
best conditions as to proof-reading
and printing, has outgrown what
was intended in q work Of this
nature, which is, to give state in
formation to its readers. What good
object is satisfied by publishing in
full several of the state laws? The
people who receive the Blue Book
are, almost without exception, the
people who purchase the Session
Laws Of each legislature, and they
do not need the publication of such
laws in the Blue Book. Page after
page is taken up with pictures and
biographies of state officers, and
these pages are quite an item to the
taxpayers. Then there is biograph-
zeal sketch of each member Of the
legislature. If these politicians
want their picture or their biog.
raphy placed before the public, let
them pay for it in the pages Of the
Publicity Book gotten out by the
state during each political cam
paIGn, We understand that the
Blue Book costs more than ten
thousand dollars to the taxpayers of
the state. 1t ought to be cut down
to half that sum. And there should
he some way by which it could be
published that would not allow of
us being party or tactlOnal per-
qnlslte. AS it is at present, If q
secretary of state happens to be in
cahoots politically with the firm
that does the publishing, the Tin.
voluntary bias is apt to be 80
strong as to cause such secretary to
pad the book in the interest of his
political friends who have the con.
tract for publishing it. This sys.
TEN of indirect graft is not new

only recently one Of the aeverest
storms Of the century occurred in
several of the middle-western
states. On the great lakes sixteen
vessels with their cargo were lost.
Two hundred and seventy-five people
perished. There was property loss
Of several millions. In Cleveland
and other cities roofs collapsed be-
cause Of the weight of snow on
them. Here in North Dakota this
year, up to the present, we have had
beautiful, balmy weather, with moth
ing like storm. But-suppose
that this loss of life and property
had occurred in the Northwest--what
howl would have been raised
throughout the length and breadth
Of the older states about the danger
to human life in the Dakotas. AS
a matter of fact, the writer knows
by experience that the climate of
North Dakota is more agreeable
than that of the latitude Of either
Chicago or st. Louis, year in and
year out. Clear. steady cold weather
after winter sets in IS to be prefer
red to warm days, then cold days,
then rain, then sleet, then snow,
with mud and slusb everywhere
most of the winter. The writer be-
lleves that one is foolish who leaves
this region on account of cold
winters and goes to Illinois, Iowa,
Ohio, Michigan or any other of the
old northern states. If one wants a
mild climate, let him go to region
where there is really a climate of
that kind. Let him emigrate to
California or Florida or some other
frostless region, where he will find
climate in large quantities, al
though he may starve to death be-
fore he catches on to a job. What
we claim for North Dakota is that
the climate is preferable to the
climate of that part Of what is
known as "The North" which lies
farther south, where all Of the dis
advantages Of northern climate
are to be found. And those who
contemplate removing to a better
climate should remember that the
Loru has never put all the blessings
in one region. You may find q
better climate, but you may also
find drawbacks that will be more
than an Offset to such climate.

Something is wrong with the
economic situation when the cold

the fresh fruit Of the hen In most
places can't be procured for love or
money. A dispatch from New York
City says that fresh eggs-what few
of them there are on the market

are more than thirty-six millions Of
eggs in cold storage. Biddy, will

The recent elections show beyond
Q possibility Of dispute that The
Democratic party continues to be
the minority party, and that it's
success is due entirely to Republican
divisions. There we're three candi.
dates for governor elected-all
Democrats. However, thew were
elected to succeed Democrats, and
there was therefore no change.
