Northwestern North Dakota, al

Northwestern North Dakota, and
particularly Ward county, received
many compliments from the visitors
who attended the state dairy conven-
ton held in Minot last week. 1t was
remarkable that the first premiums in
both the dairy and creamery contests
went to Ward county The states
champion cow, owned by one of the d.
rectors of the association, E.. s. Per-
son, was exhibited at the fair. A heifer
with a state record, owned by J. E..
Elsberry, was also exhibited at the
convention. Many other top-notchers,
owned by farmers and dairymen Of
this vicinity, were shown. Dairying
in this section of North Dakota is but
few years old, but remarkable pro-
gress has been made. Nearly every
farmer has some thorobred stock.
Starting with few mich cows, a few
brood mares, some hogs and chickens
a short time ago, many are now well
fixed, and they hardly know how they
accumulated so much wealth.

Probably no measure has ever been
considered by North Dakota legis-
lature that has attracted so much at
tention as that providing for the term
inal elevator, which was defeated by a
vote of GA to 40, and eight not voting.
Eighty-three per cent of the voters
cast their ballots in favor of the con-
stitutional amendment, providing for
the terminal elevator and those who
voted against the measure knew well
that they would have to go back and
face their constituents, many of whom
would be pretty angry. The writer
was present at the legislature when
the vote was taken and we feel certain
that many of those both supported
and opposed the passage of this
bill, were honest in their convictions.
Those who voted for the bill believe
that the building Of a $4,000 termi-
nal elevator at either st. Paul or Du-

A year or two ago when the Demo-
crat was one of the official county pa
pers, McGahan lost no opportunity to
commend the county commissioners
for their efficiency. AS long as "Mac''
had both feet in the trough, he was
satisfied. The county "dads' saw fit
to pass the work around, McGahan
was compelled to share the work with
the other newspapers Of the county
and now he's bowling because the
commissioners are "extravagant." 1t
would be interesting to know just
wherein they are extravagant. The
readers of the Democrat are entitled
to know the facts and the commission
ers, we know, will be glad to have Nc
Gahan Ego down the line with them"
Perhaps they have something up their
sleeve. We predict that the Democrat
will be satisfied not to open up this
subject.

Britain over their recent decisions re-
garding the treatment Of neutral YES
sells. Germany has declared a war
zone extending around England for
hundred miles from the coast and will
attempt to seize or destroy neutral
vessels bound for that country with
food supplies. England has retaliated
and will consider food stuffs bound for
German civilians as contraband of
war. This is proving disastrous to
American shipping. Two American
vessels have already been blown up by
mines. United States wishes to re-
main neutral, but considers that our
shipping should not be molested. We
have so informed England and Ger
many, declaring that their attitude is
considered unfriendly. But what are
we going to do about it? We are not
prepared to go into war with either
country. No one wants this country
to become involved in a conflict that
will cost millions of dollars and mil
lions of lives. 1t appears that about
all that we can do is to back down.
We should avert war at any cost,

Not many realize that the India

Not many realize that the Indian
population of North Dakota is on the
increase. At the Elbowoods reserva-
ton, which is located several miles
southeast of Garrison, eleven hundred
Redskins reside. During the year 1914,
there were So deaths reported among
the tribe and seventy births. The In
dams do not take kindly to the ways
of the pale-faces whom they tolerate
merely because they have to. True,
the younger Indians often attend Car
Isle and become well educated, but
they soon take up the ways Of their
forebears upon their return to the res
ervation. One of the instructors at
the reservation informs the 1ndepen-
dent that an old Indian bought high
priced bed, but after sleeping in it a
night or two, went back to his old
bunk on the floor.

Mimic Journal: For Socialistic ar

oclast, North Dakota's official socialist
paper, certainly takes the cake, in face
of the general belief that the people of
this state as class are the best fed,
most comfortably situated and pros
porous class Of about any equal sec
ton of this globe. Of the people of
North Dakota, the paper says: "They
are being overworked, underfed, poor
ly housed, exploited, robbed, flimflam-
med, and lied to-and they deserve it..
They cannot afford fine clothes, vaca-
lions or leisure-and they don't de-

their farm passing from under their

luth, would be a step in the right di-
rection and that while all the evils ex-
listing in the marketing of grain would
not be cured, that eventually the old
time grain commission firms would be
compelled to change their methods.
They hoped that the experiment would
prove so successful, that the state
would be glad to 60 into the business
on a broader scale later on. The writ
Ell was one of those who voted for this
constitutional amendment, and the In
dependent believes that the building
of this elevator, or at least, leasing a
good sized elevator at one of the ter
minals, would have been a good bet.
We don't presume to know enough
about the marketing of grain to say
that we know this would have correct
ed the existing evils, but we do know
that the measure met with the ap-
prevail of a very large per centage of
our farmers, and it would have been
only falr TO them to give the PROPOSE
ton a fair t~.:! If the elevator did
not prove to be success, then the
proposition would have been solved
for all time to come. In all fairness
to those who voted against the propo-
sition, we want to give their reasons.
They claim that the building of termi-
nal elevators outside the state would
place them under laws over which we
have no control The bill limited the
funds to $4,000, which is about one
third the amount on hand for that pur-
pose, believing that this would not
build an elevator large enough to have
any material effect on the grain COM
bine.

GOTCH TO COME BACK.

Frank Gotch, the Iowa farmer boy
who is the champion wrestler of the
world, is coming back to the mat
this time for the moving pictures.
He will meet the greatest wrestlers
that can be found, and there will be
no re-makes of films, for the Iowa
farmer has a contract for 100000
for three bouts with wrestlers who
have in preliminaries, proved their
right to meet him.
Let us hope that Gotch will come
back. He is one Of the real clean
sportsmen of modern times. Born and
reared on the Iowa farm in comfort
able circumstances, he was not forced
into the wrestling game, but took to it
through love Of the sport. About the
time that he was beginning to show
up we'll around the old home town,
Farmer" Burns, the grand old man of
the mat, recognized the goods in
Gotch and took him under his wing
and it was not long until the world
had a new champion. Gotch was not
trained in the Sunday entrance of a
saloon nor was he piloted around by a
bunch of tin-horns, but on the con.
trary listened to the wise words OF
Farmer" Burns.
After winning all the glory there is
attached to the sport, to say nothing
Of the piles of money he has sailed
away-Gotch is still the big clean
farmer boy living on the same old
Iowa farm, storing away the same
old corn crops as in days of yore, and
is close neighbor to Farmer" Burns
Either one of these champions could
write checks that would dazzle the
eyes Of their fellow sportsmen who
started in the game at the same time
on the same footing, but today are
probably gone to the dogs or are still
transforming.

The county option bill has passed
the Minnesota legislature, notwith-
standing that Governor Hammond had
the support of the brewery interests
of the state before his election. 1t is
asserted that those same interests
spent no less than $4,000 to elect the
speaker of the house. When Bryan
visited Minnesota during the cam
paign, Hammond gave the Commoner
his word that he would sign the coun-
ty option bill if it passed the legisla-
ture, and it is quite certain that he
will do it, if he hasn't already done
so. With this bill in effect, nearly the
entire state of Minnesota will soon be
dry.

MEN WHO COUNT FOR SOME
THING.

At Bismarck Saturday, when the
senate was under the strain of the
suffrage fight, with the stalwart gang
led by Frame, supported by the re-
submission members from west of the
river, three senator's refused to allow
their convictions against suffrage to
take them into despicable fight Of
obstruction; fight to hold up a bill
which had been passed by vote of
81 to ID. Senators diversion, Davis
and Bond responded to the plea for
fair play, casting their votes in favor
of sending the suffrage bill back to
the house from which it had been re-
called.
Davis, Bond and diversion represent
the class of members in the senate
who cannot be controlled. They cam
not be whipped into line by threat or
trade.
If the entire history Of the
smothering of the suffrage bill
were written it would form
chapter in the history of the state
which the populace would look
upon as a disgrace.
What do you think Of a man who
will trade his support on bill on
which he is already committed, in Or
der to round up few votes for some
measure which he is interested in
putting over"
But Senators Bond, Davis and Over
son are a different type. They have
taken a consistent stand against
Bronson's bill. They voted against it,
either because they believed the prin-
ciple wrong, or because their districts
had gone on record. No one can criti-
else their stand. But they are to be
admired and commended for refusing
to be a part Of the element which re-
sort to the most unfair tactics ever
employed. 1t is this type Of states
manship which stands for something.
It is this type of man which North
Dakota wants in the state legislature.

A meeting of the farmers will be
held in Minot next Saturday to con-
slider the proposition of organizing a
cooperative mill. An effort will be
made to organize a $4,000 concern
with hopes of locating this mill at
Minot or some other point. The milling
business is always a good proposition
when handled right. One of North
Dakota's principal products is wheat.
That the farmers have not received
what they were entitled to for their
wheat for many years, cannot be con-
tradicted. In saying this, we do not
mean to cast any reflections on our
own elevators, but on the way the
grain has been marketed at the termi-
nails. Great fortunes have been built
up in Minneapolis and Duluth at the
expense of the North Dakota farmer.
It is asserted that the commission
firms have made more money from
their transactions than the farmers
altogether. Whether the present plans
will be success or not remains to be
seen. A cooperative mill or more
than one of these, located convenient
ly about the state and properly man.
aged, would undoubtedly bring relief
to our farmers. When the writer was
a boy, he often took a grist of wheat
to the mill in those good old days,
and returned with flour, the miller
taking out his toll. A bushel of wheat
often Melted from 40 to 48 pounds.
Today the farmer sells his wheat and
buys his flour, paying as much for the
latter as the buyer right in Mime
apolis. This is according to custom
and it is doing business on modern
basis, and is all right from the miller's
point of view. We criticise no one for
doing business in that way if they
want to, but if the farmers want to go
into the business for their own benefit,
they have perfect right to do so.
The oucome will be watched with con-
siderable interest.
