come from tick-infested cattle, at

loss, the majority Of which came from

yearly of s1,O00,OOO. He said this
represented a loss of 1-2 cents an

cents an acre to eradicate the tick
from the $4,000 square miles, and the
average cost in the counties cleaned
in South Carolina was 2.S cents per

counties, he stated, the ticks were

the State can be cleaned at an OUTLAY
Of 2.S cents an acre, or about $4O0,

paign in a systematic manner the
tick should be eradicated in a shor,
time. He said that Tennessee was
freed from tick at the cost Of about
$25O.000 and had saved over $4,000,
600 yearly. He stated that an area OF
100000 square miles had breen freed
since 1906, and that the little farm

the one who fed and clothed the ma

Mr.. b. II. Rawl. of the bureau of
animal industry in the agricultural
department at Washington. brought
home in clear way the need for
prompt action in fighting the cattle

could use, that ranges had disappear

FRIDAY, FEB. 6, 1914.
O r AND "PoLlTICs".

The Forum has published comments
from many Of the leading papers Of
North Dakota regarding the move
ment' to send John H. Worst, presi-
lent of the North Dakota Agricultural
college, to the United States senate.
Most Of these comments have been a
hearty endorsement Of the suggestion.
In fact the Worst idea struck an in
slant and responsive chord throughout
the entire state, and President Worst
would have tremendous backing from
the state press.
There is one thing on which all arc
unanimous-the fact that President
Worst is eminently fitted for the office.
1t is also agreed unanimously that
President Worst is a man among men,
honest, sincere and capable.
From some sources, however, there
has come the criticism that the farm
crs had no business mixing in poll
ties. The Forum believes that this
criticism calls for some pretty plain
talking. 1t is as much as to say that
the people have no business suggest
ing who they want to fill a public Of
fee. That must be left to the profess
sional politician.
1t is absolutely all right for a mum
Der of leaders Of this faction or that
together at some central point and pick
and choose a set Of men they think
should be the candidates the people
should name to office. But if several
thousand farmers gathered from every
part Of the state see fit to make a
practically spontaneous endorsement
of a man who is conceded to be a
splendid choice, but who is not agree
able to a few so-called leaders" be-
they know they cannot handle
him, that is mixing in politics..
When President Worst was selected
TO become the head of the North Da-
kota Agricultural college he was al
farmer, living on a farm in Emmons
county in this state. Since he took
charge Of the agricultural college he
has made it a school to turn out prac-
teal farmers. No man in the state is,
in closer touch with the farming con-
ditions and with the farmers needs.
More than this, he is a scholar and
a n orator, alive to the affairs of the.
entire country as well as to his home
state, and because of his ability, his
forceful character and his integrity. he
would be an. ideal representative Of
this state in the senate chamber.
If ever there was a selection that
came straight from the hearts of the
people it was the suggestion of John
H. Worst as a candidate for the Unit
ed States senate. The Forum believes
him to be honest, sincere and capable,
absolutely free from any political en-
tanglements and a man who would
represent the people and no set of men.
If he allows the use of his name at
thee Cming primary, The Forum pre-
diets his election. He is the kind of
man The Forum is pleased to endorse.
