You can't always tell about com pany. It often happens that the yis- itor who brings nothing but a twelve Inch paste broad grip makes twice as long a stay as the visitor who brings a trunk as big as 0 cottage.

 People are all alike. You blame the neighbors children when your chil- dren do not behave and the neigh bors blame your children when their children do not behave.
 One reason why Luke is not prohi- bltionist is because he believes that having a grouch against your fellow men is harder on the system than booze.

A PROPER RESERVE

It Is not surprising that Senator Fall is disappointed because Secretary Lansngs report the Mexican sit uation did not contain the correspondence between the State Department and all the persons in Mexico from whom the department has gained it's information The Senator Is radical of radicals on the Mexican question end since the report as stands gives nothing upon which to base further assaults upon the Administration he wishes the report contained something more.
 The reason which Secretary Lansing gives for not including the desired correspondence in his report will. we think. satisfy the general public, notwithstanding the Senator's disappointment Our representatives in Mexico are obliged to keep on good terms possible with the people they meet there but when they write to Washington they must speak plainly. 1T such letters were to find their way bac ktO Mexico they might make serious trouble least they would be likely to end the usefulness Of the who wrote them
 Another part of the correspondence consists of con dental letters from private individuals There be no argument as to the duty of the State Department to respect such condolences; the information received from representatives of other powers stands upon a similar footing.
 We are indebted to the Brazilian ambassador to Mexico for many services To repay Brazil by embar- rasslng the ambassador would be sorry business.

SENATOR oAUsTAD MAKES A DISCOVERY

Senator Gaustad's News-sIiner which has been one of those newspapers that have aternated between the contention that there is no such thing as full TerOr ial form of government" that that have such government already has discovered that there is little difference between fun Territorial form of gov ernment" and Statehood. and asks why do not take the additional slight step and get the State govern ment at once.
 Without dwelling upon the circumstance that The Empire has told the NewssIiner and the others that there is little difference aside from the fact that Ter rores cannot participate National politics. between the powers Of States and those of Territories the latter have the customary powers. will answer Sen Gaustads question by saying that the chief reason for asking for full Territorial form of government first is that Delegate wckersham can get the full Territorial form of government with little expenditure of effort and he could not get Statehood now if he should cry his eyes out.
 As the News-Sliner intimates. under full Terri toral form of government" the people would have con tro their own governmental matters should have that at once without waiting to educate Ma ton as to our qualifications for union to the sIsterhOod Of States

Land Near Mobridee Can Be
Made Remarkably Profitable

A farmer, Dick Burns, who re-
sides east of Hettinger, cleaned
his alfalfa seed last week and was
agreeably surprised to find that he
is the possessOr of one thousand
pounds of clean bright seed which
was threshed from a crop harvest
ed from fourteen acres of land.
The best part of the crop is,
that he harvested one crop Of hay
and got about twenty-eieht ton.
He is Offering this seed for
twenty-five cents per pound. which
will net him approximately seven
teen dollars and eighty.six cents
per acre, not counting the crop
of hay.
In the vicinity OF MObridge there
are thousands Of acres of cheap
lands waiting for the settler. This
land will duplicate the above feat
and in a great many instances do
better. One mile south of this
city is large field of splendid
alfalfa.

Cheap Western Lands To Boom

The following clipping taken
from the Sioux Falls Journal is
pretty good evidence that the
people of other portions of the
state as well as the northern mid.
die western states are beginning
to recognize that the cheap lands
west Of the river, and also in the
immediate vicinity of MObridge,
are profitable properties to own:
You are going to see a boom
in cheap western lands when the
government gets its farmers loan
law in Operation,' said Frank
Blackman. Not only boom
where those lands are located but
a boom among the settlers who
will make more money per acre,
seventeen times over, than do the
farmers on the high priced land
around here. Look ut those set.
tiers west Of the river who have
buckled down to actual determina-
ton to make their lands produce.
With $1,000 land they are coming
mOnev, every settler having cows
and chickens and pigs. and with
immense range for their stock and
growing crops, in a few years they
will be loaning money to the 5000,
acre farmer around here. Gov
ernment loans will give them cheap
money SO they can expand. and
instead Of paying high interest the
government rate will be so nomi-
nal it will be economy to borrow
and with the money buy more
cows. The future prosperity of
this state will in a large measure
be located on the old Sioux reser-
vatiOn.'
