THE FARMER AND HIS PAPER.

"The farmer of today is entirely
different from the farmer of yester-
day." said Secretary C. N. McIlvaine,
of the South Dakota State Fair, "and
l really believe that the country news
papers have been the greatest aid to
the farmers and made them what they
are today. There is no better or
quicker way to get an education than
to read the papers. If a man is away
from his home town his home paper
comes to him like long lost friend.
It just seems to me, when l read my
home paper, as though was shaking
hands with chum."

New President at Cornell College.

Mt. Vernon, Iowa June 19th,-The
College which was held this week saw
the retirement of James T.. Harlan
from the presidency of the college
and the election of Dr. Thomas Mich
olson, formerly of Iowa and now of
New York City, as the new head.
This change of administration of
one of the leading colleges of Iowa
is an event of unusual interest both i'll
! educational and church circles. Cor
nell has had but two presidents in a
period of more than fifty years. DR..
William +. King, who retired six years
ago, and DR.. James Il. Harlan, who
now surrenders the presidency and
was for many years vicc-prcsidcnt,
together have guided the dcstincs
of the institution for half a century.
DR.. Nicholson is at present secrc=
tary of the Board of Education Of the
Methodist church was for nine years
professor of philosophy at Cornell.
which position he resigned to take the
presidency of Dakota Wesleyan uni
versity. During the six years he was
president of this institution. he ser
we'd with marked success and greatly
strengthened the college. He is called
by Bishop Mcdowell the strongest
secretary of the Board of Education
which the church has ever had.
Professor Nicholson is a Canadian
by birth. and received his early cdu
cation in Toronto. He then came to
the United States, entered North
western University and later attended
the University of Chicago. He is al
so graduate of Garrett Biblical In
stitute at Evanston.
The nwe president is not only well
known Throughout the church and
country but ranks as one of the lead
ing platform speakers in the Unit
States. He will be warmly welcomed
not only at the college where he was
formerly professor, but in educational
and church circles of Iowa and the
west.
The trustees at the time of electing
the nwe president unanimously passed
Resolutions OF appreciation of the re-
firing president and voiced their re-
grct at his severance of relations with
the institution. The faculty of the col
lcgc and the alumni organization have
passed similar resolutions. President
Harlan therefore after forty one years
of service at Cornell leaves this field
of labor with satisfaction of knowing
that his efforts and achievements are
fully appreciated by those who best
know his work.
Nearly sixty degrees were conferred
at the recent commencement, three

The Bulletin is again harping about
the celebrity with which the Review
collects and publishes legal news
which relates to the welfare of the
proprietor of the paper. The sug-
gestion is that the Review is being
run to advertise the legal business of
the proprietor OF the Review. We
know, as every other reader of the
Review knows, that the purpose of the
Bulletin is to work upon the preju-
dice of other attorneys and cause
them to think they are Disseminated
against by the newspaper owned by
one OF the legal fraternity. 1t Is a
long suit of the Bulletin to work up
prejudice by misrepresentation and
falsehood and he imagines there may
be some lawyer that he can induce to
become u sorehead and thereby gain
his patronage. We say what the Bull
letn states is false and VIC appeal to
the record to show it. 1t is sufficient
to say that not within three years
will the Bulletin be able to find re-
port of a single case pending in tie
county in which the proprietor of the
Review is mentioned as attorney for
either of the parties in litigation, and
we assert that the readers of the pa
per would not be able, from the ac-
count n the paper, to determine in
| what cases the proprietor of the Re-
| view has appeared. 1t has always
been the purpose OF the Review, III
reporting court news. to abstain from
|anything which might SAVIOR Of parti-
sanship and we stand upon our record
to prove that reports have been fair
and impartial. We fully appreciate
that attorneys, like everybody else, are
human and would resent any attempt
on the part Of one interested in a
|Eewspaperto use the paper for person
al ends. We know that the same law
yers to whom the Bulletin directs
these false statements realize that
there is no truth III them and that the
Bulletin but belittles itself in trying
to stir up prejudice. The Review is;
well satisfied with the patronage it
enjoys and has no sore spots to reveal
to the public. The poor old Bulletin
is sore because its proprietor, in the
late primary, was not able to poll his
l'party vote and ran behind the other
candidates on the ticket. He should
not blame the Review for the result,
for this paper did not lay straw in
his way. If he cannot command the
support of his party he must not blame
any one but himself. If man eX-
poets to run for Office, he should loos-
en- up d little and give his influence
and financial aid to public improve,
;nents and seek to cultivate the pro-
gressive and patriotic men in the COM
munity rather than sorehcads and
knockers. We shall not oppose Mr.
Caswell's candidacy, but we do sim
cerely hope as long as he stands n
show of election that he will become
more cheerful and try to broaden out
fnto!a practical man with al ambition
to improve the community in every
way lie can and not to spend his time
endeavOring to array man against
man and TO throw his influence against
public Improvements by cooperating
with the. knockers rather than the pub
lie spirited men in the community.

1t was the pleasure OF the writer, a
few days ago, to take trip to South
Dakota and over into the southern
part of North Dakota and to compare
crop conditions as they now exist with
what they We're a year ago and two
years ago.
For two or three years past the
drOuth has been such that crops have
been a practical failure in both North
and South Dakota and especially the
central and western portions of the
states. In going from Sioux City to
Aberdeen and west Of there, both last
year and the year before, the: fields
were dry and parched and vegetation
presented a sorry appearance where
there was any to be seen. Outside of
the streams, many of which were dry,
there was no water to be seen stand
ing in ponds such are to be seen al
most everywhere now. There was a
good fall of snow during the winter
and since then there has been an abun-
dance of rain until the. ground is thor
oughly saturated with moisture and
the crops of all kinds promise an
"A blIndant harvest and it is Ger
tain that 1914 will prove an
exceptional year. All the way
north from Sioux City to Abcr-
deem the waving grain presents a
most pleasing sight and this is not
confined to any one kind of grain, but
to all kinds. We predict that unless
some unforeseen catastrophe overtakes
the crops, there will be a larger yield
of both small grain and corn this year
than ever before in the Dakotas. The
farmers are bubbling over with good
nature on account of the fine pros
poets for crops. The prediction is
freely made that with good crops this
year and next the old time revival of
business and activity in land sales will
return and prices of land will be high

The readers of the Review may have
observed of late slight departure OF
this paper from its former cOnserva-
tive course in dealing with the Bulletin
and it's editor. We desire to assure
the readers of the paper that this
course was not adopted as a pcrm.:
nent policy, but simply to show the
Bulletin editor that he is quite as vul-
nerablc to attack as any other newspa
per man and that others can play his
game quite as we'll as himself. We
confess that we dc not enjoy the prac-
tice of attempting to put competitor
in bad light with the community where
the facts justify it being done. and
would prefer to see him enjoy the re-
spect rather than the censure of the
Having shown that the Bull

to pursue and at the same time it
saves the community the disagreeable
of newspaper quarrel.
