phauts are exhibited by Ed. CORTLAND.
Gollmar Bros have always enjoyed
the reputation of having the finest
horses of any show in the country; for
this reason they have added a great
many head to their already long string.

PITY THE POOR LIONS!
Hunters in Africa Actually Kick the
Brutes Out of Their Way.

A globe trotter and a hunter, by
name Percy Stanhope, is an English
man who may or may not have a
sense of humor. Here is what he
said in New York recently about lion
hunting in Africa:
"You hear them talk of lion hunt
ing in Africa as though it were the
king of sports. It's a beastly shame
the way they treat the poor beasts.
Why, when l was out in British East
Africa two years ago there was a
movement on foot to punish lion hunt
ers for cruelty to animals. In fact,
they were seriously taking up the
question with the home government.
THE lives of the poor lions are be-
ing made a burden to them. l can re-
member when the lions would come
in out of the jungle and sit on the
platform of the railway stations. and
some Of those cruel Englishmen actu-
ally booted the beasts out of the way.
Think of it, the cruelty of it all.
There being no foxes available the
sportsmen out in those parts have a
habit of stirring up a lion and pur-
suing the poor beast with whoops and
yells until it drops dead Of exhaustion
and actual fright. The poor beasts
have been SO terroriZed that when
they see a white man they whimper
from fright. This fear shortens the
life Of the lions, and unless drastic
steps are taken to put a stop to the
cruelty there won't be any of the an
imals left in Africa."-New York

II. X. hargel a recognized pioneer re-

Fargo last Saturday, About a week
previous Mr.. Kargel had left his home

DEMOCRACY GAINING GROUND

The democratic party has been in
power long enough nationally to go into
the present campaign with issues that
Will draw the dividing line between it
aud other parties. The new legislation
that the party has enacted has not had
time enough to prove itself as yet in all
respects, but has been in force a sufi.
Gent time to allow the republicans to
attack, if they desire so to do, and the
democrats to defend, an issue which the
democrats will welcome.
In the coming campaign general state
ments will not be accepted by the people
from either party. Specific facts are
what are wanted and will be insisted on,
and they must be handled in a clear and
explicit manner to win out.
The old party cry, the battle lines
drawn between parties battling on lines
merely as between parties, is no longer a
rallying cry for the people who are for
better government and progressive ad-
vancement in all things, The issue this
year Will not be republican party versus
democratic party, but an issue of princi-
piles at stake and the defining where the
different candidates stand as to the
Issues. 1t is upon this ground that the
democratic party gladly welcomes the
political combat and will be prepared to
meet every issue. Democracy is growing
stronger every day by redeeming Its
promises to the people, while the repub-
licau party has yet to dowork, meet for
repentance of much of the past, before
the people can be persuaded to e%ntrust
it with power.

whenever some man starts in to
express an adverse opinion on the
accomplishments of the democratic
administration at Washington, put these
questions to him: What has MI. Wilson
done that either MI. Roosevelt or Mr..
Taft, had either of them been chosen at
the 1912 election, would have done bet
ter? What has Mr.. Wilson done that
either political party In opposition to him
would undoif they we're placed in power?
What has he not done that either of
these would be likely to do if either was
given the power? Don't accept general
tiles and sweeping condemnation for an
answer; pin him down to specific state
ments. You will find how little of fact
and how much of CUFF there is about
this criticism heard.

The good prices quoted on the mar
kets for the things that the farmer
produces threaten to wreck the hopes of
a good many aspiring republicans who
nave been expecting to ride into Office by
showing the farmer how hard he has
been hit by the removal or reduction of
the tariff on farm products. 1t will
require some high and lofty juggling to
get the statistics to fit the republican
congressional candidates case
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1914-07-02

Whatever slowness of business there
may be in some parts of the country can
be traced to that queer psychological
state brought about by the old-time
republicans who believe the buncombe
of their party leaders that a democratic
administration always brings hard times.
With business as fundamentally sound
as it is and with unusually large crops
IN sight. the man who fools himself into
believing that times are hard is the chief
factor in bringing about the conditions
he fears.

THEIR COMMON GROUND

The republicans want the federal Of
fees now held by democrats.
The progressives want the federal
offices now held by democrots.
The two factions have a common hun.
ger for place and power and patronage;
but have they anything else in common?
Both eagerly denounce the Underwood
Simmons tariff, but if they were a
republican, progressive majority in con.
gress would it undertake seriously to
restore the Payne-Aldrich or III Dingley
schedules? Would it undertake serious
ly any general scheme of tariff revision?
Both are in sympathy with the princi-
pie of a central bank: but if there were
a republican-progressive majority in
congress, would it venture to amend in
any important respect the new currency
and banking laws that a democratic
administration has written into the sta.
tute books.
Both sheer at Pres. Wilson's Mexican
policy, but would a republican-progres-
Slye administration abandon his wise
and humane attempt to establish a per
manent peace in Mexico by removing
the cause of revolt, or would 1t turn a
distracted country back to predatory
privilege Bnd predatory poverty? Worse
still, would it enter upon a war of con-
quest?
Both complain of the Wilson econom-
ic policies, but would a republican-pro-
g%ressive party halt the investigation into
New Haven corruption; would it refuse
to enact laws giving the interstate o II
merce commission power over railroa
capitalization; would it even repeal the
proposed amendments to the Sherman
antitrust act, in case they become law?
Would it give the government back to
Wall street?
Most Of the progressiveS and many
republicans oppose the repeal of the
Panama coastwise exemption clause, but
will either faction promise to tear up the
llay-Pauncefote treaty and give the
c"astwise monopoly 100000 or so a
.-ar at the expense of all the American
people?
What has Pres. Wilson done that the
republicans and prcgressives. if they
were returned to power would undo?
What has he left undone that they
would do? What mas he done that they
would be likely to do better?
1t lie always easier for a minority to
c~riticise than for a majority to act, and
it is a matter OF record that no other
administration since the civil war has
accom- plished so much in an equal period
of time as the Wilson administration.
All the fundamental differences IN
principle that existed between the re-
publicans and the progressives in 1912
exist now. These differences can be for
gotten, but they can not be reconciled.
The only basis for a compromise lies in
the fact that Mr.. Roosevelt is personally
stronger thar any candidate the republi-
cans can name, and that without the
republican vote Mr.. Roosevelt's candi-
dacy would be a farce.
Any compromise between the republi-
cans and the progressives gets back to
the elementary question of dividing the
spolls. That must inevitably be the
great moral issue of a harmony cam
palgn in which the two factors are again
united.

Crude Apparatus.
The great English chemist Dalton
was a schoolteacher. He worked with
out a laboratory and with crude ap-
paratus, mostly made by himself from
simple materials. Here is an example
described in his own words:
"Took an ale glass of a conical fig
ure, two and a half inches in diameter
and three inches deep; filled it with
water that had been standing in the
room and consequently of the tenn.
p%erature of the air nearly; put the
bulb of the thermometer to the bot.
tom of the glass, the scale being out
Of the water. Then, having marked
the temperature, I put the redhot tip
of the poker half an inch deep in the
water, holding it there steadily for
half a minute, and as soon as it was
withdrawn I dipped the bulb of a SEN
sitive thermometer into the water,
when it rose in a few seconds to $50
degrees"
He then determined the tempera-
ture of the water at the bottom after
five minutes, after twenty minutes
and after an hour and found that it
rose gradually from AZ to 50 degrees.
This simple experiment proved that
water has the power to conduct heat,
which had been denied by no less an
authorit. than Rumford.- Youths
