GRAIN LETTER.

Chicago, Aug. 10.-Return of
Kansas rains and small southwest
receipts of wheat have offset the
August 9Th report. The weekly
weather forecast is not clearly de-
cisive. Outlook is for fair weather
but tropical disturbance may spoil
this dream. General crop news
bearish but cash wheat and oats we'll
taken and lit will take or weeks
to fill the empty elevator corners.
The wheat bulge was a slow affair.
Markets may be trading for few
days.

esting features every year. Each

tie of state prize squad. The prize

The Wahpeton times. [volume] (Wahpeton, Richland County, Dakota [N.D.]) 1879-1919, 1915-12-09

The Democratic party came
into power with the Republican
party as led, determined to block
success for the administration.
in this attempt it did not succeed.
From the Republican admins
tration the Democratic admins
tration inherited the Mexican
question with all of its roots and
branches and no. definite policy on
the part of this country in refer
ence to the matter. 1t has been q
most delicate and troublesome
matter to handle, but it is being
brought to a successful issue.
Then came the great European
war with new warfare, new con-
ditions and raising a multitude Of
new and perplexing problems. and
these have been successfully
handled.
Against this creditable record
of the Democratic administration
the majority of the Republican
party would wage partisan war
fare in the halls of Congress, with
the vain hope that such partisan
warfare will be approved by the
voters next year, and the Repub-
lican party restored to National
power. Do the people approve Of
partisanism or will they insist on
patriotism? Which?

PATRIOTISM OR PARr,sAm,sm

\ number of Republican menu
bers of the two branches of Con.
gresS are whetting their political
knives to try to take the scalp of
the President when his message
shall have been read to Congress.
They do not know what the mes
sage will contain but are guess
ing at it but they have come to
Il determination without knowing
what it will contain, and that de-
termination is to make an on
slaught OIL it when it is before
them, and in this manner to try
to make some political capital
for the Republican party, and to
try to do some political damage
to the Democratic party.
The purpose of this class Of
Republicans is a determination to
find the least possible good in
the message. and 90 find greatest
possible amount of fault that can
be found by misconstruction and
misrepresentation. This is, of
course. nothing but rank parti-
sanism, devoid of patriotism, and
] therefore will hardly at this time
win the approval of the general
public. as the people have begun
to think for themselves. The one
dominating thought that seems to
be the guide for the class of Re
publicans referred to is, can we
lick the Democrats and get back
into office, spirit that cannot be
said to have any regard for either
patriotism or craftsmanship.
There are some Republicans who
are statesman and will be dis
posed to deal fairly with both the
President and his message. This
class is entitled to the highest
sort of credit.
/ The county needs patriotism.
President Wilson has erred no
doubt in judgment at times, as do
all human beings, but the errors
have been comparatively few, and
the wisdom and patriotism that
has been evident from his acts
have been dominant and the safe
ty valve of the nation. His safe
pilotage of this country through
the stormy seas due to the strug-
gle of the warning nations of
Europe, is master stroke inl
craftsmanship, and when suffi-
cent time shall have collapsed,
this will be recognized as an abb
solute fact by most of his critics.

DO YOUR XMAS
SHOPPING EARLY
Is the Slogan that Should Be Ad-
hered to This Year and Elim-
mate the
LAST RUSH FOR PESENTS
As Has Been the Case In tho Years
Gone BY and Mail Them
Early Also

Much has been said in The past
why you should buy and get your
presents for Christmas as early
as possible and this year and the
years to come, will be no excep-
ton, as it can be readily seen.
Among the chief reasons that
have been simmered down are:
First to give the merchants a
chance to fill your wants should
they run out of just what you
want. if it is at all possible. and
the next is the fact that they can
not attend to you in the same man
ner and courtesy as they should
like. The last tail end of the
christmas rush has not only tax
ed the store owners completely,
and the clerks as we'll, of each es-
tablishment, but your ourselves
as we'll. And there is no known
reason why such should be the
ease, however.
You can just as easily pur-
chase your gifts now as the day
before Christmas. There is lar
ger assortment to select from
now. than there will be later.
i Then i'm the shipment of gifts
something must be said. You
know that the mails at this time
of the year are always congested
and that the person shipping any
presents by mail will not have
theirs delivered until a few days
at fer Christmas unless the pres
emit or presents. is sent within the
next week. A way to get away from
all this congestion and to give the
mail clerks on the trains and in
the local postoffices a chance is
to send the package few days
before. that is to reach the des-
tination. and have it marked on
the outside, Don't open until
Christmas. which has been al
lowed by the postal authorities at
Washington lately.
TO follow these rules will not
Inconvenience you any and it will
help things greatly.

that upon his return from Europe
he would make formal am

Marshall Out for Senator
Thomas Marshall, national re
publican committeeman, stated in
Cakes last week that he would be
q candidate for United States sen-
ator. The announcement Of Mar
shall was not unexpected. For
several weeks there have been ru-
:lors he would enter the race. He
has canvassed part of the state
and is said to have senet out scv-
eral thousand letters.
Friends of Senator McCumhel
are greatly aroused over the cam
didacy of Marshall, as they had
hoped to win over one element oi
the insurgent wing of the repub-
!lican party, especially if the con-
test was simply between McCum-
Der and Hanna. With Marshall in
the race they will be unable to dc
this. They assert that Marshall
cannot win and that his candidacy
will merely bring about the de-
feat of McCumber. Marshall has
no political friendship for either
Hanna OF McCumber and cannot
be charged with seeking to assist
either. His friends believe that
with Hanna and McCumber scrap
ping, he will be able to get the
plum for himself.
