JUST n FACTS,

North Dakota need only get the
facts before the prospective settlers
of this nation in order to start a
steady stream of immigration. Sta
tistics compiled by the federal depart
ment of agriculture tell more potently
than anything else the advantages of
this state.
This state leads all in the produc.
ton of spring wheat. OF FOG, 600, 900
bushels raised in this nation, 81 1892.
900 came from North Dakota farms.
1t is second in the production of all
wheat, rivaled only by Kansas whose
large acreage of winter wheat gives
her first place.
North Dakota is fourth in the pro-
duction of oats; third in barley and
first in flaxseed. These tell the story
What better "pullers' for settlers?

~ The senate refused yesterday to

In supporting Senator Martin,
Senator Davis maintained that those
members who had attached their
names to the most bills usually failed
20 be repeaters. He said their faces
were missing from the chamber.
However, Senator diversion explain
ed that the intention of the resolution
was to prevent sectional feeling and
to free the bill from any Significance
the name of its author might impart.
He said that bills we're often killed
because Of authorship and not con-
sideration on their merits. His reso-
luton, he said would do away with
personal jealousy among the members
and make each bill stand on its own

CANADIAN SPIRIT,

The Canadian Peace Centenary AS.
ISOLATION has issued this timely state.
emnt:
This Christmas eve marks the com.
pletion of a full century since the
signing of the Treaty of Client, which
put an end to warfare between the
British Empire and the United States
OF America. In a few weeks, on the
18th of February, it will be n hun.
dred years since the ratification of
that treaty. IA century has now
elapsed since British and American
arms were matched in national strife.
1t Is a great anniversary which we
commend to the attention of the peo-
pie of Canada: auspicium melioris
aevi, to quote the motto of an order
of chivalry which is peculiarly asso-
ciated with the growth and progress
of the British Empire. The first cen
fury of peace has now elapsed; may
many more follow it..
We address this appeal to your
memory of the history of our CONT
nent in a solemn and moving time.
No such happy fortune has befallen
the continent of Europe. Periodic
wars have ravaged it; the weight of
intolerable ornaments has oppressed
it, and we write in the midst of an
awful struggle, terrible not merely
for the enormous numbers involved,
and the deradful slaughter and devas-
tatlon wrought, but for the outburst
OF evil passions, of hatreds, of cruel
ties, of which it had been hoped war
had been stripped by advancing civili-
cation. Our Empire is the principal
object of attack in an ea%rth-shaking
war; and it behooves the subjects of
King George to play the man and
vindicate the title of their Empire to
freedom and to greatness. But while
the battle-cloud hangs low, while our
gaze Is rivetted upon scenes of death
and suffering, we must not forget that
North America presents a spectacle
which is at once a contrast and a
promise. We invite the gratitude of
the Canadian nation for the merciGul
dispensation of Providence which has
bestowed peace upon our own land.
For one hundred years the sword
has been sheathed upon the border
between Canada and the United
States. Two peoples, energetic, &C.
tive, anxious to make the most of their
possessions, have dwelt side by side
and have avoided armed strife. o.
casions of difference have arisen; con-
ficts of interests have disturbed their
harmony; but always the voice of
calm reason has been heard and the
disputes have been accommodated.
Two especial benefits have resulted.

RETURNING TO THE FOLD.

The result of the elections of No
vember last proves three very import
ant political facts: First: The Repub
licans carried upon national issues
states that would give a clear major
ity in the electoral college, and elect
a Republican president.
Second: The Democratic majority
in the next house is only the result
of the Progressive vote in certain
districts Of the country, and the
Democrats will be really a minority
party in the house of representatives.
Third: Two.thirds of the Progress.
sive vote of 1912 has not only ceased
to support third party candidates, but
has returned to the support of Re-
publican principles and candidates.
This is the story that is told by the
official figures of the last election just
compiled by the Republican national
committee. They are the official fig
ures of thirty-eight different states,
representing all sections of the coun-
try.
The Republicans carried twenty
three states, which in the electoral
college cast 2SS votes for President,
a clear majority of twenty-five over
the PCS necessary for a choice. There
are three states which may be tenn.
porarily classed as doubtful, as on
national issues they divided their al
%legiance. These are Oregon, South
Dakota and Nevada, in which Demo
cratic senators were chosen but Re-
publican congressional delegations
were elected.
At this election 23O Democratic
members of congress were successful.
In thirty-nine of the congressional dis
tricts of the country, however, the
Progressive vote was larger than the
Democratic plurality, so that, had it
not been for the Progressive vote, the
Democratic membership in the next
house fould be only 1911, with 21S ne
cessary for a majority. The Progress
sive vote also elected four Demo
cratic senators, those in California,
Colorado and Oregon.
The question of what has become
of the Progressive vote of 1912 is well
answered in these official returns. In
the thirty-eight states whose returns
have been compiled, there is a Repub-
lican gain of 2,489,588 over the Re-
publican presidential vote of 1919.
There is a Progressive loss of 2,507,-
81, as compared with the presidential
vote of that party two years ago. In
other worms, the Progressive loss is
within less than one per cent Of being
the same as the Republican gain.
In these twenty-three states which
pitt themselves in the Republican col
ulln, the Republican plurality owe the
Democratic vote was over a %cillion;
whereas, in 1912, the Wilson vote in
the same states was larger than the
Taft vote by over one million. Of
the total vote cast by the three part
les in these states in 1914, the Repub-
licans cast 1915 per cent; the Demo
Gratis, 1873 per cent, and the Progress
sives lis per cent. In 1912, the presi-
dental vote cast was: Republicans,
2S.4 per cent; Democrats, 1877 per
cent; Progressives, 31.9 per cent.

The material distresses of war have
been averted; stoill more important,
those international animosities which
are so %grievous a feature of the sit
uation in Europe have been mitigat.
! ed. Worse even than the physical
devastations of the past five months
have been the appalling hatreds
evinced or evoked-hatreds that are
a degradation of the human spirit.
Here, upon this favored continent, the
%resolute %abstention from appeals to
arms has resulted in a growth of in.
ternational goodwill which indeed
must be grateful to Almighty God.
Our people and our neighbors agree
to remain separate-respect each
others rights and charactaristics-
and find, as one generation after an
other passes its life in peaceful in
dustry, that there grows and increases
a mutual friendliness that is the sur
est guarantee of peace in the years
that are to come.
Firmly as We British peoples have
grasped the sword, resolved as we are
not to sheathe it except with honor
and with a new security, we are con-.
WINGED that the dealings of the Great
Empire and the Great Republic az
ford a noble example to the rest of
the world. They remain as our ideal
in international relations; and, COM
ing as the centenary does at so trou-
bled and absorbing a time, we urge
the Canadian people to celebrate it
with devout thankfulness and as a
of happier times to come.

COUGHING AND SPLITTING.
The Way Disease Is Spread and How
It Could Be Avoided.


The dangerous and dirty habit of
careless splitting. coughing and sneez-
Ing is without doubt the most costly
carelessness that civilized society in
dulges in. The saying, No spit, no
consumption. is literally true, and this
means that consumption would be
largely avoided if this habit could be
abolished.
1t has been shown by careful scien
tifc experiments that in the act OF
coughing or sneezing, unless a hand
kerchief or other object is held in front
Of the nose and mouth, microscopic
particles of saliva and nasal secretion
are discharged into the air in which.
even in a quiet room, may be carried
a distance Of from ten TO fifty yards
from the place where they were eX-
PEELED. Many Of these droplets can be
seen if one will cough or sneeze in
front o. a mirror or window pane.
Most Of them, however. are too small
TO be visible to the naked eye. One
can now readily understand how very
impollte it is to cough or sneeZe with
out holding handkerchief in front OF
his face, for such a person literally
splits on objects and people, perhaps on
food, within distance Of from ten to
fifty yards about him.
The germs of tuberculosis diphtheria
and perhaps grip. colds, pneumonia,
whoOplng cough, measles and scarlet
fever are conveyed through eXpectora
ton Many perfectly healthy people
not suffering from the disease carry
the germs of pneumonia and diphtheria
and other contagious diseases in their
mouths and threats. 1t becomes nee
essary that not only recognizably sick
people shall desist from careless spit
ting, but that the apparently well, who
may be germ carriers" should also
be careful in eXpectorating.
Towns and cities should make their
anti-spitting laws more than jokes.
AS a matter of fact. they should not
pass such an ordinance until they are
ready TO enforce it, From a health
point of view anti-spitting ordinances
are not to be lightly regarded. They
should be serious laws, and the viola
ton Of them should be made more than
a joke.
