She to be revelged caused Wiltus. the
most ingenious artist ,of the time. to
fashion a statue Elled with automatic
springs and levers. Finished and sci
up this brozen image was an admirable
work Of art. In It's right hand .Wiltus
placed a ever and in the left an apple
of pure gold finely set with diamonds
and other precious stones. To touch
this apple was to court death. It. was
90 arranged that any mi guilty OF
such vandalism would be immediately
r1ddled with arrows shot from loop
holes in the statues body. ZENITH was
invited to see the wonder and. king

SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE.

Senate bill, 247, introduced by Senator Nelson Of Roette, deals
with the tobacco problem in a manner at once simple and effective.
It permits the sale Of pure tobacco products in all forms; prohibits
the sale or gift of tobacco containing any article injurious to the
health, and prohibits the sale of tobacco in any form to minors.
In making these provisions the bin gives force to the efforts of
those who have been seeking the protection Of the public health,
and who have sought especially to prevent the formation Of in
furious habits by immature youths. 1t prohibits absolutely the
sale Of any kind to minors, andit prohibits also the sale Of medi-
Gated or doctored tobacco to any person. It brings all tobacco in
whatever form, equally within the scope of it's operation, and its
enactment would make it impossible, or extremely difficult for
dealers who were so disposed to carry on a traffic in contraband
goods under cover of a Legitimate trade.
It is a matter of common knowledge that the anti-cigarette law
does not meet the requirements of the situation. That law at
tempts to cure an evil by making an artificial distinction where no
real difference in fact exists. It prohibits the sale of cigarettes
to all persons, and permits the sale of other forms of tobacco to
all persons. The consequence is that an Legitimate trade is car
red on in cigarettes all over the state, and both cigarettes and
other forms of tobacco are sold to minors.
The Nelson bill meets fully the requirements of the pure food
laws and it meets more fully than anything yet has done the de-
holding from the immature tobacco in all of its forms.
The need for some legislation of this kind has been recognized
in other states. Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma and other
states have abandoned their state ani-cgarette law, and South
Dakota is taking steps in the same direction. But in no state has
there been proposed a measure so simple, so comprehensive and SC
consistent as that which is now before the legislature of NORTH
Dakota-GrandF Forks Herald.

SELECTION Of
SEED CORN

The first step toward success in
growing corn is the selection OF the
seed. Evidence is plentiful that large
losses have resulted from inferior
seed and practical North Dakota corn
growers at the recent North Dakota
Corn and Clover convention, at Grand
Forks all agreed on this point, he who
uses such seed uses poor business
judgment. For example, a good
grade of seed corn may be obtained at
$500 per bushel and inferior seed for
rs cents per busael. Assuming that
M bushel will plant six acres, the
cost per acre will be &c ga cents for
the good seed. One bushel increase
in the yield will considerably more
than pay for the extra cost of the
good seed.
The crib is not the place from
which to select seed corn, neither is it
the best to select seed in the field at
ter all the corn has matured. The OBJ
lection to selecting after it has reach
ed maturity is that there is no way by
which one can tell earlier ears from
the late maturing ones. Ears, some
times in hills side by side, may be
found in the milk stage while others
are glazed and out Of harms way
from frost. If the selection is de-
ferred until both ears are ripe, the
late maturing one may be selected for
the next years seed. In this event,
the corn that develops from the 500
to 800 kernels that the ear may con-
tain, will be like it's ~parent-late ma
turing. Thus it will be seen that by
the use Of a few late maturing seed
ears a large acea of ones crop will be
late in maturing and in danger of be-
ing injured by frost. A mistake in
the selection of a poor or late matur-
ing ear is multiplied from 500 to 300
times when such seed is used.
When in the field selecting seed corn
look first at the stalk on which the
ears IRE borne. If the stalks do not
show strength and have good leaves
of healthy color, pass on without fur
Their examination until these charac-
teristics are found. Then look at the
ear. If the shank is large and holds
the a upright in a position permit
ting the entrance of rain, debar it. If
the shank is long and curved II should
be rejected ever though it may sup
port a good ear ;such shanks are apt
to be easily broken off. Usually carr
having such shanks are not in posi-
ton to be readily husked. Examine
the ears that are located about waist
high and have a downward droop that
will protect the "a and allow easy
husking. The early fints will bear
ears considerably lower. Should the
ear prove to be early maturing, having
a good cylindrical form with a small
cob and closely fitting kernels, it
should be selected as a seed ear,

DEMOCRATIC RULE.

By removing protection and thus reducing the income of the
government from the collection of customs, the present administra-
ton in Washington at last is brought face to face with a treasury
deficit conservatvely estimated at eighty million dollars. No bene-
fit has accrued to the public by the reduction of the tariff. The
cost of living is higher now than it was under the Payne-Aldrich
law, and yet the government finds itself $780, 600, 900 short, and
that amount must be made up from the pockets of the people.
1t is idle for the president and his cabinet officers to attempt to
put the blame on the so-called "pork barrel rivers and harbors bill
or the public buildings bill. The rivers and harbors bill last year
was cut from %$50000,O00 to $4,000, 900, and yet did not prevent

Statistics show that the United States has a greater number Of
fires in its large cities than any country in the world. According
to a recent report the number of fires annually in New York City
averages about 1900, while in London they average only 5000,
Paris 1,500, Brussels 100, Glasgow $50 and Belfast only 200. And
we suspect that in smaller cities about the same ratio applies. Now
the question arises are the fires caused from accident, or are many
have no doubt that many of the fires over the whole United States
are caused from over insurance, and that by regulating the amount
of insurance any one may carry would be the means of reducing
the number of fires in this country materially.

According to all accounts President Wilson'S a candidate for re-
election, and our opinion is that he is doing everything possible to
build up a political machine that will reflect him. Many of his
movements point that way but can he do it. When we look at every
side of his administration we arrive at the conclusion that he has
been a colossal failure. Can you dispute It.?

EXCELLENT ADVERTISING.

We are indebted to the Devils Lake Journal for some fine, wide
column advertising in recent issues. Just what responsibility it
expects the present management of the Courer-News to assume
for events which occurred before we came to the state we cannot
say: It reminds us of the mother who complained to the superin-
tendent Of SCHOOLS about the examination given her daughter in
history. "Why, they asked the poor child questions about things
that happened before she was bonn" The vigorous but somewhat
spenetic Journal sees things red and yellow whenever the name
Hanna" or "Gronna" are mentioned, and sees things in the night
IN which these miscreants play leading parts. But the people of
North Dakota continue to trust the two. Odd, isn't it?-Fargo

We frequently hear Of professional lobbyists acting in a dis

# any professional corporation lobbyist ever gave a worse eyhibi-

Of both branches Of the legislative assembly was most represents
1ble, and branded the men who participated in the demonstration
as wholly unworthy of public confidence. W. have long enter

We have been asked how this paper stands relative to the matter
OF hiring an expert farmer for Ramsey county, and in reply will
say that when the time comes that the farmers themselves realize
or believe that such a move is the proper thing, then we are for it.
But so long as the farmers are against it we believe that it would
not be wise to hire an expert farmer, for the simple reason that
the farmers themselves being against it they would not work in
harmony with such a movment, and therefore no great benet could
come from it. We believe that possibly there are many things such
an expert could do that would be Of much benefit to our county,
provided he had the hearty cooperation of the farmers, but with an
expert pulling one way and the farmers pulling another, it would
be only a matter Of expense to all.
Ever since President Wilson took his position in the White
House he has been predicting what prosperity we were going to
have just as soon as he got his political policies working, but what
q dismal failure he has made Of things. None of his theories seem
to have worked out to the better1nent of the country, but on the
sion, until the people are sick and tired of listening to prosperity
to come" talk. Factories closed, thousands of men idle, bread lines
In the large cities, the cost of living raised, lands gone down in
value, the money market tight. What more do we want to con-
vince us that our Democratic friends are entirely wrong in all their
theories?
