THE DEMOCRATS AND THE A. G..

The democratic state platform de-
votes considerable space, and many
words, to the alleged relations between
the "interests" and the educational in
stitutions of the state, especially the
agricultural college Profound regret
and great indignation are expressed
that. at the behest of these interests.
whatever they are, movement should
have gained headway to deprive the
state OF the distinguished services Of
President Worst, Professor Ladd and
Professor Bolley of the A. G.
quite recently Professor Ladd was
seked what he knew about the report
hat lie was to no ousted. He said
that tn knew nothing about il, and
that, rs u matter Of fact, he had been
too busy t" pay any attention to it.
Professor Enlley, if VIC remember cor
rectly. was also unaware that he was
to he given the crown of a MARTYR
President Worst SO far rs We have. not
noted, has not expressed himself. Rut

anyway, aud says So. and it insists in
pouring ont its sympathy upon these
rersecu'cd servants,
" is not very long since the demo-
craft" press of tho state was express
ing its Indignation and the indigna-
tipn cf the party that President Worst,
the head Of the agricultural college.
while holding an important educa-
tional position and drawing therefor a
salary from the state, had SO far for
gotten what was due to his position as
to go about the state making speeches
In the interest of standpat republican
candidates for office. The democrats
appeared to be quite wrought up over
it. Now, in the opinion of our demo-
cratic friends, has President Worst
seen the error of his way and REFORM
ed, or We're the democrats mistaken
in their attitude and criticisms of
few years ago?
Still further have the democrats
overlooked the fact that during the
time when these plots to turn over
the educational institutions to the lin
terests are said to have been matur-
ed both institutions We're controlled
by trustees, the majority of whom
were appotntees of Hon. John Burke.
late democratic governor of North
Dakota, and who We're in entire con-
troll of the situation of course. if
anything wrong has been done, it is
made neither better nor worse be-
cause of tho political Affiliations of
those who did it, but the present case
appears to be hardly one for the dem
ocrats of North Dakota to "r:e.w with
alarm
The party that sets out to make
political capital sometimes has hard
time to make its alarm square with
the facts. and the North Dakot DEM
ccrats appear TO be experiencing this
difficulty at the present time.

ONLY \ HALF NELSON

The battle in the North sea few
days ago, the first real sea battle of
the war, while it was spirited, while
both sides acquitted themselves with
great credit, and while the victory
was unquestionably with the English,
was not by any means decisive, like
the victory of Nelson at Trafalgar. If
one We're permitted to mix sporting
and fighting terms it might be describ-
ed as a half Nelson.
The battle was between light cruis-
ers and destroyers on both sides. None
OF the heavier fighting vessels was en-
gagged. Hence, while losses are al
ways more serious to the side with the
smaller force, and in this case Ger
many has much the smaller sea force.
the heavy armament on both sides is
untouched. and battles which NAV he
highly important remain to be fought
Aside from the effect which this COM
paratively slight diminution of the
kaiser's sea force will have, the i'm
portance of the fight lies in the cheer.
ing influence Of its result on the home
and field forces of the allies, and in
the demonstration which is given that
the British navy is actively and ag-
gressively watching for an opportunity
to bring its big guns to bear
The inactivity of the German nayy
has been the cause of much specula
ton. 1t was not to be expected that
the Germans, with their smaller num-
Der of ships Of all classes, would risk
disaster by rushing into battles which
might easily wipe out entirely their
sea defenses. But just what is the
logical step for Germany to take is
, being discussed with interest The
main force Of the German navy is. OF
course. either in the harbors along the
North sea coast or in the Baltic
Northern Belgium, almost to the coast
is occupied by the German armies
One theory is that 1t may be the pur.
pose to capture, at the right moment
a seaport near the channel, perhaps
Ostend, and, with this in direct com.
munication with the German Armies
to undertake naval movement II
force and, II possible, make the por
the base. II not for an actual invasion
OF England, at least for continued and
annoying threats against the Englist
coast. n, :,
This theory, for the present, is =,
good as any. In the meantime, the bi,
British navy is tied UP by the necessit,
cf fwatchins for the smaller German
snhxy. so that the campaign OF inac
ttvity may; for the present, be as ef
J fectiys = any. ).

without shelter. food or safety in this
terrible flight from the advancing en-
emy. Enormous herds Of cattle were
being driven into Paris. For miles
the roads were thronged with them,
and down other roads away from Pa
ris families were trekking to far fields
with their household goods piled into
bullock carts, pony carts and wheel
barrows. Two batteries of artillery
were stationed by the line, and a regi-
ment Of infantry was hiding in the
hollows of the grassy slopes. Their
outposts were scanning the horizon,
and it was obvious that the Germans
were expected at this point in order
to cut the last way Of escape from
the capital.

on our way to safety, leaving them
behind at the post of peril.
I might have expected that some
thing was wrong with the place by the
strange look on the face Of q friendly
French peasant whom I met. He had
described to me in very vivid way
the disposition of. the French troops
on the neighboring hills. Down the
roads came suddenly parties Of peas
ants with fear in their eyes, Some of
them were in farm carts, and put
their horses to a stumbling gallon.
Women with blanched faces, carrying
children in their arms, trudged along
the dusty highways. and it was clear
that these people were afraid Of some
thing behind them. There were not
sound Of singing birds above the fields,
which were flooded with the golden
light OF the setting sun.
Then I came into town. An intense
silence brooded there among the mar
many of them, and when they passed
the countryside was strangely ana
uncannily quiet. There was only the
row little streets below the old Nor
man church: Almost every house was
shuttered with blinds. But here and
there I looked through an open win
dow into deserted rooms. No human
face returned my gaze. It was an
abandoned town, emptied of all its
people, who had fed with fear in their
eyes, like those peasants along the
roadway.
But presently saw a human form /;

They were mining bridges to blow

further the streets were srewn with
broken bottles and Uttered with wire
entanglements, very artfulfy and care

BEGIN GRINDING. next MONDAY
Russell-Mill Company Has Large
Quantity of Old Grain Stored In
Elevators at present


The machinery at the new Diamond
mill Of the Russell-Miller company
will begin to turn next Monday, when
the work of reducing 90 900 bushels of
wheat now stored In the company's
elevators to flour will be started.
The machinery which has been in
stalled in the new building during the
last few weeks has recently been CIV
en- thorough try-out. and everything
Is In readiness to begin the actual
grinding.
Most of the wheat now in the COM
pany's elevator is old grain. much OF
the new wheat which has been re-
ceived UP to this time being too wet
and green for milling purposes.
The general opinion Ii that the
present high price of flour. will not
continue long. and that even the re-
newal Of the export trade to Europe
will not sufhce to keep the prices al
their present level

HEMP. CROP OVERLOOKED.
Is Best Weed Killer Known, Owing t,
Dense Growth,
(Chicago Journal. !


Many commercial vagaries, like the
psychological. The declining produc-
tion of hemp in the United States ap-
pears to belong in this category.
The blue grass region of Kentucky
is the only part of America where
hemp is grown. and even there the
acreage is decreasing. The crop, ac-
cording to the planters themselves, is
profitable, and its merits are great.
1t is the best weed killer known,
owing to its dense growth and i'm
penetrable shade. 1t does not exhaust
the soil as much as a crop Of grain.
1t has an assured market. But it re-
quires different handling from other
crops, it demands special knowledge
from the grower; and in the face of
this psychological barrier, all It's good
qualities are as naught.
