largest selling stomach regulator III
the world. If what you eat ferments

and sructate sour, undigested food and
acid: head is dizzy and aches; breath
foul; tongue coated; your inside filled

member the moment D%iapepsin comes
in contact with the stomach all such

is if; harmlessness.
a large fifty-cent case Of Pope's Dia-

It's worth its weight in god to men

One of the bills offered for passage
i'll the legislature this winter is house
bill Ala introduced by Representative
Stenehjem of Mckenzie, county, and
which calls for an appropriation OF
$25 900 to have North Dakota repre-
sented at the centennial exposition to
be given at Christiana, Norway, dur
ing the year 1914. Mr.. Stenehjem adj
vocates the passage Of this measure
because it will give North Dakota a
representation in a country that will
result in some great benefits for this
state. A great people come from Nor
way to North Dakota. They have made
good thrifty citizens, and by their
sturdiness and progress have aided
materially in the development Of this
new commonwealth. Mr.. Stenehjem
also thinks the quickest way to get
new settlers would be to present some
OF the states resources at this great
show, and that new settlers would
follow rapidly as the result.

THE MEXICAN SITUATION.

The Mexican situation has proved
conclusively that Mr.. Taft is absolute
" Il safe man to occupy the presl-
dents chair when the powers OF the
world are involved in s%trifes, that fire.
quently effect all important nations.
Mexico, located as it is, a neiShbor-
ing bordering republic and involved
now for owe a year in a revolution,
there has been continual query as to
why the United States government
did not take some action in the way
of intervention in view of the fact that
large investments are reposed in the
Mexican peninsular, and that a large
number OF American people are locat-
ed there.
SO far Mr.. Taft has persistently,
and it seems now consistently refused
to take a hand in our neighbours rev
olution and has maintained the idea
that any move in the way Of inter-
@vention might jeopardize the lives OF
Americans now in Mexico.
The president has caused the policy
Of preparation to prevail, believing
the greatest safeguard would be to
move the army and navy, speedily
but quietly in the direction OF the
#E M. =
Mexican embrolyo, and it is admitted
now by everyone that it would have
been folly for tie United States gov
eminent to participate in warning ele
ments of another country without hav'
ing just cause, and without being prop
erly preIIsred for the serious conse'
quences that surely would have fol
lowed had Mr.. Taft taken hasty action
in attempting to put down a rebellion
that was entirely beyond the province
o. our country.
Mexico has been able to settle its
own difficulties, and though 1t ha
caused serious bloodshel, American
lives and American property has no
suffered. However, should the revolu
ton be renewed the United States
has marine troops and warships il
sufficient number in Mexican harbors
to serve as a warning that the United
States might step in any moment
it ceases to regard the safety Of oul
people, aud our interests. .

Mexico Land MOnODly
FRIDAY EVENING

Mexico is a nation easily thrown
into revolution for the simple reason
that the average man has no response
hility. Any man who lives under
conditions which not only make him
q pauper, but prevent his rise from
that condition. is easily melted to in
surrection. The simple reason for
this condition is that he has nothing
to lose but his life, and that, under
the circumstances, is of little value.
To understand the condition better.
let us suppose all the land property
in the United States to be held by
10000 individuals while S9,9O0,OOO
other inhabitants are landless and
without hope because the 10000 con
troll legislation in the states and III
the nation and have a compelling in
~fluencc over policies Of administra-
ton.
One instance of this control in Mex
leo will serve to show the iron grip
in which the landes are held. Real
property is taxed in proportion to the
income derived from its use. That
which is unused pays no tax and con-
s%equently less than 5000 individ-
uals hold title to all the real property
in Mexico and leave the greater part
OF it unused and reproductive with
out becoming 'land-poor.' In the
United States taxation is in part
levied upon the land values instead
Of its use. This prevents capitalists
from acquiring unlimited areas OF
land and prevents access to it by men
OF ordinary means, in any other way
