fantry, the lines barely distinguish

the picture suggests in a telling man
ner the excitement, the fury, the SUI
preme effort Of a bloody battle.
But it is in the lower valley that
the real significance Of the drawing is
shown. There are no guns, no stone
and steel walls, no attack and defense.
but just a rolling field, with the grain
standing thickly shocked, and the
frightened populace hurrying, with
such Of their possessions as they could
gather together, away from the scene
of that battle. Cattle, frantic with
excitement, and being driven reckless
ly through the shocked grain. Carts,
heaped with the miscellaneous con-
tents Of a cottage, are being guided
through the field. Pack animals are
loaded with bedding and kitchen ware.
Men, women and children struggle on
under loads which almost bury them.
And human beings and cattle alike
inspired by the one desire, to get
away from the fearful place.
Somewhere. out of the picture, are
homes that have been abandoned.
Somewhere are the titled fields and
the pleasant garden spots left to be

by the blood Of men. The cottage
that has sheltered many generations
Of the same family is in ruins. The
people are homeless and practically
destitute. This quarrel is not theirs.

rest. will not restore to them what
they have lost. Heavy indeed is the
weight Of responsibility hat rests
somewhere for letting loose such an

COME OUT IN THE OPEN.

In pursuance with the provisions
tees Of the various political parties
of the state will meet his week in Bis
marck for the purpose of organizing
and formulating platforms. and for
such other purposes as are provided
for by law.
In a way, the law IS it stands places
the cart before the horse. Candidates
for office are named at the primary
election. Precinct committeeman are
also chosen there. The committeeman
by passing through several stages
build up and prepare for the organiza-
ton Of the state committee. The can
didates have nothing to do with this
committee. But the committee pre-
pares a declaration of principles, or
platform which is the official platform
form, which is the official platform
of the party. on which the candidates
r supposed to stand. In theory,
therefore, the candidate does not know
what his principles are Until after the
state committee has made its pro-
nouncement. In fact, of course, the
candidates may, and frequently do,
nave a good deal to do with the shap-
ing Of the platforms on which they
are to stand.
In this connection it may not be
amiss to call attention to one matter
concerning which there appears to be
some confusion. This is the prohibi-
ton law. Concerning the attitude of
Governor Hanna toward that law
there is no shadow of doubt, and
there has never been a doubt concern
ing IT.. The governor Is in favor Of
the maintenance and Enforcement Of
the prohibition law. He stands for 1t
in principle and in practice. He has
made his position plain on many occa-
stons. and he has never varied in It.
A good many people would like to
see some concrete and definite state
ment from Mr.. Hellstrom of his atti-
tude. Is he in favor of the prohibi-
ton law? Would he look with favor
on a measure for resubmission, or Is
he Indifferent Not all people know
just what his attitude is. Many people
would like'to find out. Would it not
be a good idea for him to come out
and say just where he stands

she turned away hopelessly. Then
Mr.. Burton began to talk. At first
she listened DULY. but shortly with
eager, joyous eyes. "Mr. Mayor" he

the proudest man on earth. And SO,
it's not only in memory Of the little

BETTER NJ

The Herald is not prepared, lust
now, to dip into what appears to be
a political squabble involving the ag-
ricultural college and some Of it's ac-
tivities. 1t appears that a question
has been raised as II the legality Of
certain contracts entered into with the
experimental department of the col
lege in relation to the Better Farming
work which has passed under the d.
rection of the college authorities. It
will be our purpose to keep readers
Informed of the progress Of any pro-
ceedings which may be undertaken in
this connection. Whatever political
quarrels there may be, however, we
prefer to let them alone.
One thing, however, we wish to
make plain. This Is our unalterable
conviction Of the tremendous value of
the work which has been performed
in North Dakota by several agencies,
including the Better Farming asso-
citation and the work performed under
the direction Of railroads and other
business concerns during the past
three years. The work has been of
incalculable value in showing to those
who wanted to earn something of the
possibilities of our soil under practi-
cal scientific treatment. Wherever
this work has been carried on faith
fully and intelligently there has been
an increase of production and a low
er cost per unit Of production. AS a
result. the section In which this work
has been carried on have seen an in.
crease in land values due solely to the
recognition Of these hitherto unsus.
pected possibilities. Under whatever
agency this work is carried on, wheth'
er public or private. so long as it Ii
devoted to the work Of a~scertainins
and demonstrating what can be don.
in the way of advanced agriculture
in, this state, The Herald is for it, EN-
phatically and all the time.
