In few days from now the hunt

orally recognized fact that the shoot
ing will be poor in comparison to
what it has been in most former
years. Last summer was bad for
the Matching and raising of the
young chickens and this summer has
been but little better. If the hunters
of this section of the country wish
to have the old time good hunting
again restored they should get busy
as have the citizens of Polk and Bel
trami counties and have slice of
the county set off as a game reserve
in which there shall be absolutely no
hunting, even by the owners of the
land for a stated period. In Polk
county four townships and in Bel
trami 1000 acres have been so set
off. This is done by the state game
commission on petition from the pro-
perty owners and citizens generally.

see how we could have been so thick
headed in our youth as to doubt the
power of the general government to
do these simple things by the mere
passage of law to that effect. But
thanks to the sagacious statesman
ship of the Democratic party, we, as
well as the entire country, have seen
a great light. Never again will we
doubt the power of the legislative
fiat. It's laws, Of course, are super
ior to all natural, economic and moral
laws that have ever existed. Why,
if Congress would pass a law. to
make water flow up hill, we have an
inkling the acqueous fluid would do
so, and relieve us Of a great deal Of
expense for drainage. Surely, Uncle
Sam can do anything. We have a

Bill Jones is called one Of the best
farmers of the community. His
crops are good, always clean, al
ways in on time, and harvested on
time. The manure is hauled and the
plowing done long before it freezes
up in the fall. Everything about
the place denotes thrift and success
full farming. But Bill Jones is a
poor man. He is poor because for
him there are none of the
riches around u.s., His whole
life and thought centers in cat
tie and corn and hogs: All he
ever sees in his daily paper is the
market report. He never has time
to spend a social hour with his
neighbors. Of course he can't 60 to
the farmers club or the farmers in
stitute. He has kept ahead of his
work but he has become a machine
For him there is no beauty in the
brilliant sunset, only milking time
No wonder in the acres of grass
covered meadow, just a reminder
that he must feed his cattle. The
Lord made these things for our en-
joyment, free alike to rich and poor
and we lose a part of life if we mis-:
them.

The road past a mans house is a
pretty good index of mans citizen

ly innocent Of road drag for a

dence Of a lack Of public spirit. 1t
is true we pay taxes to build roads
but it adds much to the appearance
of a mans farm and helps gain the
respect Of the people who use his
stretch of road if he adds a little
extra labor to fix up the bad places.

The Speed Mania.


Notwithstanding the frequent auto
accidents which we read of daily in
the public prints or are cognizant Of
because happening in our own I'M
mediate vicinity, whcz, friends and
loved ones are suddenly whisked into
eternity or are manned for life, and
Notwithstanding repeated warnings
to exercise care in driving, the speed
mania nevertheless seems to be on
the increase. The fault Of the age
is that it has set. too swift a pace.
When we want to go anywhere, we
are always in a hurry, and consider
time spent on the road as wasted,
when really it is the most enjoyable
if time is allowed to. take in the
scenery as the; car rolls along.
A fault with many owners of
Fords and other light weight cars,
is that they want to. keep up the
pace Of the heavier cars. Now, al
Ford can go as fast as any. of them
and generally with just as much
safety, yet owing to it's light weight,
everybody ought to know that it will
tip over more easily than a big car,
when it meets with loose sand, I'M
evenness or other obstruction in the
road. Then 80 to 40 miles is too
swift for the Ford, nor is it safe for
any car, whatever its. make. No
reasonable driver will proceed at
such speed. Then again we have
noticed that persons driving big cars
seem to ignore the Ford and will
not give it half Of the road when
passing. Often the Ford is compelled
to hang onto the side Of the road
while the big car shoots by in the
center Of the road. Many accidents
happen when cars pass one another.
Prudence and common sense il seems
would tell drivers to reduce { speed
then and most Of them do, yet in our
auto tours we have met many cars,
whose drivers at that very moment
speed up their engines land rush by
at terrific pace, apparently trying
to see how close they can come to
1.-THE other car without colliding with
it. Boys and young men have many
accidents charged to them by reason
of reckless driving, but there are
many old fools who are not a whit
better in this respect, and some lady
drivers, too, are Of the too speedy
class. Sometimes boys and young
men when out taking little joy rides
of their own, want to show off thei1
skill as chauffcurs and unknown te
their parents and regardless of in
structions given to them, will speed
up their cars until, perhaps they lane
in the ditch or cause some other ca
to land there.
Accidents are liable to happen AM
sometimes do happen, to the mos
, careful drivers, but in a majority O
cases they are the result Of too fas
driving. Every driver Of ca
ought to realize also that a road or
street is public property and tina
: others have just as much right to it
:. : use as he or she. If we were NOR
considerate for the rights Of others
!. then fewer auto accidents would hap
Ipen. Let everybody stop the speed
ing mania, and get more genuin
pleasure and longer service fror
: their cars, and also save thcmselve
or others from serious, perhaps ia
: tai, accidents.

When we were a little younger
than we are now and were engaged
in mastering the mysteries Of polit-
ical economy, we were told that the
law of supply and demand, which is
as old as the hills regulated wages
as we'll as most everything else in
this mundane sphere. From that
time we have always had a good
deal of respect for this unwritten
law, hoary with age. But our faith
in it's infallibility has now been rude
ly shaken, yes, knocked into cock
ed hat, by the recent developments
at Washington, D. G. Now we have
made the astounding discovery that
the power to fix wages for trainmen,
and then why not for all other
classes of labor, is vested in the all
wise and omnipotent statesmen
known collectively as the U. S. Con
gress. By the passage of one small
bill the wages of trainmen is raised
25 per cent, against Che protects Of
those who have to pay the bill.
Great is the power Of legislation!
If Congress by it's fiat can fix the
wages of 100000 trainmen on rail
roads it does not own nor operate,
then it certainly can do a lot Of other
things which we, in our ignorance
have considered impossible to do by
Legislative enactment. We begin. to
believe now that Congress ccn really
take 16 ounces Of silver and by its
fiat make them worth one ounce Of
gold, practically doubling the value
Of silver, and that we were actually
mistaken when in the great fret
silver campaign Of 16 to /, we doubt

SENATORS BORAH AND UNDER
WOOD CLEAR-HEADED MEN.

- o.
Senators Borah, a republican, and
Underwood, democrat, two Of the
most able and clear thinking menin
congress, opposed the method by
which the passage Of the 8-hour law
was rushed thru congress at the die
tation of the train men without in
vestigation of the facts or the justice
of their demands. This is what Sen
ator Borah said:
proceeding as we do now we have
no facts whatsoever-we know moth
ing as to the ultimate effect. And
we are not even permitted to know
the facts. I would like to know how
Legislators can legislate without the
facts.
Before / vote to increase freight
rates in this country by increasing
wages I want to know whether the
men are entitled to the increase in
wages and whether, if they are, the
railroads need an increase in freight
rates to pay the bill.
"Mr. President, we senators are
not permitted to know these facts.
The brotherhood leaders, with their
watches in their hands, insist we
must pass the bill before night or
bring calamity on the country. I
say they are wrong. Even now if
we pass a resolution declaring our
intentions to investigate this con-
troversy and settle it fairly to all
concerned they will not fail to strike.
