Perhaps you can suggest where we

We'll, I don't know Just where. The

"Oh, pa, that would be terrible" :"

"If you would buy things in the city
and bring them home you could prob
ably save money" suggested ma.
Perhaps I could, but, unfortunate
ly, my time is pretty we'll taken up
earning what is respectfully called a
salary. The best thing we can do is
to move out where we can raise hens
and vegetables. We can't keep on
living here if prices keep going up
"Why don't you ask for a raiser"
suggested ma, hopefully.
Lots of good 1t would do. Just now
the company is retrenchin9 u and is
more likely to cut salaries than to in
crease them"
"The idea," said ma. Indignantly.

CUNNING

The Democrat desires to point out
to its readers the two prize editorials
CD of the week for rascality and re-
publican cunning. Both are inspired
ignorance and fostered by a
politically diseased brain. The fol-
lowing from the Pueblo Chieftain:
Some persons whose votes did
everything possible to kill Colo
RADIOS sugar industry are now
worrying about the shortage of
beet seed"
When was the beet sugar industry
ever more prosperous? Why should
such boasted industry depend on a
foreign nation for its beet seed?
What effect can VOTES have on beet
seed supplied to the American grow
ers from Germany?
The next spasm Of cunning comes
from the Durango Herald and reads:
There are three well known
enemies of the sheep-death, dogs
and DEMOCRACY. Since the de-
partment of agriculture has long
supplied remedies against sheep
diseases and now proposes pro-
lection against dogs, why not
further aid by pointing out the
seriousness of the menace of
FREE WOOL? More sheep have
shed their blood on the altar of
free wool than ever lost it
through the depredations of
dogs"
During the past THIRTY YEARS
twenty-five of which have been under
REPUBLICAN RULE, it is a we'll
known FACT to every sheep grower
in the UNITED STATES, that both
WOOL and SHEEP are a better price
TODAY than at any time during that
period. In this immediate vicinity the
sheep raiserS can recall that during
the days of the IL cent g. o. p. Ding
ley bill tariff on wool the product
OF this section was selling for SH2
cents and lambs were contracted for
$1.5O. The Republican party should
be accused -of being the DOGS OF
DEATH to the sheep industry, as
the people are wise to the cunning OF
such political travesty.
CUNNING has only the private
sucks to no principle which could
make success, such cunning is short
sightedness that discovers the minut
est objects which are near at hand
but not able to discern things at dis
tance. The cunning of such design
ing editors destroys their purpose

Underwater TocsIns.

After the burning Of the transat-
lantic steamship Columbia, one Of the
boats drifted for no less than two
weeks In the path of transatlantic lin
ers; but, although the wrecked sea-
men saw several steamers. they could
not attract their attention by signals.
OF the 15 men in the boat, II died

to fire the mine whatever might be the

only proofs OF the admiral's treason. But
he believed Mrs. Plessey's story no

Mr. Bryan which will confound him
in this connection. This letter. ac-

be obtained, absolutely precludes the
former secretary from opposing the

more convention pledges the nomi-

term only. if elected. Mr.. Carlin says
Bryan will support Wilson.
1t has. long been understood that
when Mr.. Bryan's views were sought

standing BY his views as to one term,
but proposing that the proposed con-
,stitutional amendment should not ap-
ply to Colonel Roosevelt, Mr.. Taft or

COOPERATION NECESSARY.

This week marks the beginning OF
a new epoch for the educational in.
situations Of the state. The organl-
cation of the board of regents is the
first step in bringing the educational
system of the state under one central
body.

s,ne cooperation between the heads OF
the institutions and the board OF re-
gents. The press of the state o do

sGrand Forks and Fargo have looked
upon the University and Agricultural

work of the board of regents will be
to free these institutions from any
local control that has proved detri-
mental. This is true in a lesser de-
gree of all the other schools placed
under the board of regents.
The new board should be given
plenty of time to bring. about these
changes. Nothing can be gained by
sweeping and drastic innovations at
the start. Reforms must be brought
about slowly. "
The board oil regents has the con-
fidence OF the state. Governor Han

care must be used, however, in select

the ideas of the board. Right here
can be sown the seeds of c..ccess or
failure.
