What the Papers Say
\ DIVIDED HOUSEHOLD

'
It's a long, long way to Upper
airy" for the republican party. The
democrats have been over the split
road and know all about the rocky
places. And, the split we faced was
not TO be compared TO the split in the
republican organization.
The off year election of a party in
power is always its most dangerous
time. With no national ticket in the
field and usually only part of state
ticket, the factions hold full sway
and fight among themselves. The
democratic party passed that period
last year At that time the new cur
rency system was not tried and was
being attacked on all sides. The war
which broke out three months before
the election, had paralyzed many lines
OF business temporarily. Already the
new financial system is recognized
as all that saved US from a panic and
many businesses hurt by the war have
recovered This is proved by the bank
clearinSs for July which Were equal
to those of one and two years ago.
Nothing is heard about the tariff
and the only changes advocated will
be on sugar and other commodities
purely for the sake OF revenue. A few
inequalities may be corrected but
there is no demand for any radical
changes in any section of the country.
Before the republicans can get any
where in a national election they will
have To harmonic the warning ele-
ments in their party. They were de-
feated everywhere in 1910, the last
year they were united, and all talk
about winning in their present divided
state is idle gossip. on the other
hand the whole democratic party is
back Of Woodrow Wilson and with
them will be hundreds of thousands
OF republicans and independents.
No kind Of an appeal can be made
for the farmer vote. The steel indus
try. no matter what the reason, is
working 80 per cent OF capacity and
that is % per cent more than a 10
year average. The only great busi-
nesses really hurt by the war are the
cotton interests and they are in re-
liable democratic states.
The steadily improving conditions
/ in the few industries that were hurt
by the war would eliminate the only
1 issue the republican party would have
next year If il were united. But SO
long az that party is in it's present
condition the issues Will make little
| difference.

AWFUL HAVOC

CContinued from page 1.) because he has won fame in the literary world, but because of his manly attributes. Northerners al- so have Q sentimental regUrd for Services cabin, and they are ever hoping for the day when he will come back to inhabit it.
 Far be it from these people of the north to be inhOspitable. They are the embodiment of the spirit of hospitality which Service immor- talized in many of his verses, Strangers may come and help themselves to the game of the country, to their furs, even to the gold dust from their mines, but taking Bob SerBice's cabin, piece by piece, is stretching the bounds of hospitality to the breaking point, and they have written to the Times in protest against it. The northern people love this cabin as they love Bob Service. Service is a quiet, diffident man yet one who always did his share and more of the work on the trail He never was too tired to do the thousand chores around a camp in winter. When he made the long mush from Edmonton to the mouth of the Mackenzie river and thence across the dread Rat Portage to Fort Yukon, 8 journey that occu- pied a year and half in the will derness, Service bore more than his share ot the hardship and agony of the journey.
 When fame and recognition had come to this northern bard and he was called to tne- outside, he did not want to leave the north and the people he had come to know and who had come to know him, In the cabin on the hill that he oc- cupied they found pinned to the wall the verses of which the follow ing staDzas are q part:
 "Oh, dear little cabin, I've loved you
 so long,
 And now must bid you goodbye; I've filled you with laughter, I've
 cheered you with song,
 And sometimes I've wished l
 could cry.
 Youy walls, they have witnessed a
 weariiul light,
 And rung to a won Waterloo, But oh, in my triumph I'm weary
 tonight
 Goodbye, little cabin, to you. q hear the world call and the
 clang of the fight;
 I hear the hoarse cry of my kind; Yet well do I know as l quit you
 tonight,
 It's Youth that I'm leaving be
 hind,
 And often I'll think of you, empty
 and black.
 Moose antlers nailed over your door;
 Oh, if I should perish ny soul will
 come back
 To dwell in you, cahin, once
 more"
 Some critics say the lines are not true poetry, but that makes no diff ference to the northeners. The verses have an appeal to them, for they express the feelings which uortheiners can understand.
 Inside of the cabin are a number Of Inscriptions and mottos written by Service when he was struggling for the recognition which later came to him. The raspberry bushes and flowers which Service planted are still in the yard.
 The cabin belongs to Mrs. Esther Clark, whose husband purchased it because of the magnificent north and south view of the Yukon which it furnished. Ms. Clark rented the cabin to Service and when the northern poet left the Yukon he turned it oyer to Major Noble. Mrs. Clarks will provides that the cabin must not be sold but must be kept as Service left it, but if

H0s1t:ER {: FOR JAMES i.
BOYS ANSWERS CaL

Regent, N. D., April 15.-With
the passing Of Frank James a few
weeks ago and the reported dying
condition of Cole Younger, comes
the death of Ole Rokke, known as
the "Big Norwegian who died
at Regent on Saturday morning. 1
Rokke has been living in western
North Dakota for a number of
years. Two years ago he lived in
the vicinity of Gladstone, where he
was employed on the ranch Of G.
G.. Turner, a, member of the state
legislature. Later he came to Re-
gent, where he lived with different
farmers, doing chores for his board.
Readers of the exploits of the
James and Younger boys will recall
the parsonage Of the - Big Nerwe-
gian" whose duties around the camp
of the outlaws were to care for the
horses used by the raiders on their
return trips and to assist the camp
cook in preparing the meals for
the gang. The big Norwegian"
was never captured, nor is it known
whether the authorities over want
ed him.
After the capture of the James
hovs, Rokke made his way to the
bad lands west of the Missouri riv-
:er where he, soon found employ
ment as a sheep herder, which life
he followed for leveral years.
King Alcohol finally got in its
work, thus causing him to drift to
nearby towns, and as long as the
booze was available, Rokke stayed
by it. ~
1t. was during one of his ''peri-
,odicals" that the story of his con-
nection with the famous outlaws
leaked out. When sober, he re-
fused to talk to anyone c'' himself
or his past Since his death it is
discovered that he has relatives in
southern Minnesota, who have been
communicated with regarding the
disposal of the body. Interment,
temporarily. was made Monday at
the local burying ground at Regent.
Friends Z of the dead . man aver
that he was Away supplied with
money never borrowing erom any
one, nor asking favors. This is
borne ,out by the fact that about
500 was found in his clothes
when examired by the undertaken.
During the past two weeks he had
been drinking heavily, direct cause
of his death being i acute alcohol
