"WALT" TAYLOR.

Way back in the eighties the sub
ject of this sketch was jerking and
twisting Washington hand press on
the old News and Stockman at Town
err. At that time the income of a
newspaper in a stock country was such
monies as the stock owners paid for
running their stock brands in the local
paper. We never heard of a publish
er getting rich at that. But Walt
kept at it until he became possessed
Of cash enough to get out of town.
Since then he has published with
the same degree of energy and thoro-
ness the LaMoure Chronicle. Any pa
per he ran was a good one and any
thing he undertook was thoroly done.
He always was progressive and did
not have to be forced into an issue
he met it coming.
After a quarter of a century of the
hardest kind of work this same Walt
was elected Commissioner of Insur-
ance of North Dakota. Needless to
say, he has made good. The state
never had a more competent official.
And now he wants another term
and will get it, we believe. At least
he deserves it. If you fail to put a
cross opposite the name of w. G. lay
lor when you vote at the primaries on
June 18th you have failed to reward a
man that has worked for more than
twenty-five years for the best inter
ests of the state.

GOOD ROADS FOR WARD co.

The Independent wants to commend
the board of county commissioners
very highly for the way that they are
going at it to give Ward county better
roads. The writer visited the point
along the Burlington road where rep
resentatives of three grader manufac-
turing companies are building three
miles of highway in a contest. The
county will invest in four graders anG
the work is being done at the sugges-
ton of the commissioners, to enable
them to better judge in the selection
of the machinery.
By actual test it is costing about
SS5 mile to grade the roads and
grade them well. The graders are to
be located at Ryder, Kenmare, Berth
old and Minot and the county will OPP
crate them good portion of the time,
with the automobile funds. The grad
ers will be loaned to the various town
ships. Experience shows that these
graders should not be operated with
horses. 1t takes a good big engine
with plenty of power and steady pull
to draw one of these graders properly
With from nine to eleven rounds the
dirt is pulled to the center of the road
leaving q fairly high crown, which
permits the water to run off into the
bitches ct the side. The engine wheel
packs down the loose dirt and as socn
as the road is graded, it is fit for
travel. The commissioners have not
set any mark and do not know just
how many miles will be graded, but
they alC going to keep everlastingly at
it and finish up the work we'll as they
go. 1t will be possible with the use of
the four graders to build a couple
hundred miles of good roads in the
county this season. Out in California
they think nothing of spending ten
thousand dollars to the mile on road
building and when the work can be
done well in North Dakota for less
than 500 a mile, this state should
soon have the best dirt roads in the
world. It will be perfect folly, how
ever, to build good roads unless they
are maintained. Ward county invest.
ed in thirty-six road drags year OF
two ago. Some of them were usec
well, but most Of them have never
been used at all. These drags should
be used this season and we believe tina
the various township road overseers
will see that this is just what hap.
pens. Ward county is going at hel
work of building good roads in the
right manner. New bridges are to be
built. Roads are being Strengthened
Culverts will be placed here and there
Grades will be made, hills will be cut
down and low places filled in. Road
drags will be used and now that six
out of ten of our farmers own auto
mobiles, they will enjoy spinning owe,
the smooth highways just as much as
the Getty guys"

language of the deepest earnestness.
"The true friends of Germany" he
saws. "those who want her to stand
again before the world as she did be-
fore this war, leader in everything
that makes for progress in human at
fairs and for the betterment of the
world" must fervently hope chat in
the interests of humanity Germany
may recognize the justice of our de-
mands and meet them in the spirit in
which they are made"
Unusual weight attaches to Profess
sor Jastrow's view because Of the
strong sympathy with Germany he
had expressed in the early months of
the war, sympathy still subsisting,
though badly shattered by the crime
of the Lusitania. His admiration for
what Germany has given to the world
in so many fields of intellectual and
social effort is as profound as ever,
but it is for that very reason that he so
deeply deplores the staining of her
name by the submarine barbarities,
and "other things which she has done
in this war, so contrary to her best
traditions and so repugnant to the
spirit of humanitarianism for which
Germany has always Stood"
The best service that enlightened
friends of Germany in this country
whether of German origin or not
can do for her at this moment is to
speak out as DR.. Jastrow has done.
For there can be no doubt that eXped-
iency and humanity point to the same
conclusion-the imperative necessity
of asserting to the Presidents just
demands.

R. A. Nestos, republican candidate
for the United States Senate, is going
to get a flattering endorsement from
the voters Of Ward county as we'll as
from other sections of the state.a The
present Senatorial fight is most pecul-
lar. Senator McCumber has for many
years represented North Dakota in
the Senate and he should be the very
strongest candidate, but he has lived
in Washington for so many years that
he has gotten out Of touch with his
constituents "back home" Governor
Hanna, another candidate, has the adj
vantage of a very strong machine and
will make better showing than Nc
Cumber. The Governor does not ex-
pect any support from the Nonparti-
san League, which will 60 largely to
McCumber and Nestos, with the Minot
man getting the bulk of this support.
The Minot candidate probably stands
closer to the people than either Hanna
or McCumber. He has been in close
touch with them for years, knows
their needs and if elected will be able
to serve them we'll. II has been pre-
dicted by many who appear to know
the situation we'll, that R. A. Nestos
will be North Dakota's next United
States Senator.

FARMERS AND DUDELETS.

ooh, he's just farmer out here IN
the country"
We stood at a street corner the
other day and heard that remark pass
ed by one of the brilliant" young
masculine striplings of our town as ne
"bummed" the makings from a friend.
The farmer, to be sure, was just a
farmer "out here in the country He
wore overal,s and drove his wagon m
to town, but at home his automo bile
rested snugly in the garage. He owns
enc of the most valuable farms in
this whole section of the state. His
home life is ideal and his wife and
children have everything they desire.
His simple word is as good as his
check, and his check would be honored
for sum that might stagger you.
He is man, a real man whom other
mer acknowledge to be man among
men, even if he is "just farmer out
here in the country"
But what of the STRIPPING; what Of
the dudelet?
He is Just one of the numerous class
who always know everything and
never do anything, who amount to
nothing and are worth less. He is
just a dudelet, and it is doubtful if he
ever attains to the dignity" of being
a real dude.
Yes, he is "just farmer out in the
country" but he is our friend, he is
everybody's friend, and time may
prove him to be the ''friend in need
of the poor, vapid, brainless dudelet.
We need a thousand more just like
him.-this man who is "just farmer
out here in the country" and whom we
are proud to know as our friend.
Poor, deluded dudelet! May he never
be worse.

The Mouse river is falling very rap
idly. The water for several days has
been back within its banks and base
ments in the flooded districts are be-
ing pumped dry. There may be no
such a rise of water again during an
other twelve year period, but it is pos
sible that similar conditions will oc-
cur next spring. Practical remedial
measures should be taken at once to
obviate any damages that may arise
from another flood. Now that the wat
err has receded we are apt to forget the
trouble as quickly as possible for it
is not the most pleasant task in the
world to single the house when there
isn't cloud in sight Prof. Chandler
of the University of North Dakota,
who is connected with the geological
survey, says that in his opinion the
trouble might be averted by widening
the channel of the river below the city,
and dredging the stream to make
huge reservoir to take care of the
surplus water. State Engineer Bliss
believes that the trouble can best be
averted by building levees thru the
city. These levees might be used as
drive ways Mouse river winds it's
way thru the city for distance Of five
miles and this would be no small task
Building dikes here and there would
help certain localities, but would not
save some of the sections of the city
from being flooded. Every citizen has
a different remedy but we'd be willing
to leave it to an engineer who is sup
posed to know what he is talking
about.

Some of the country roads are in
much better condition right now than
a good many of the streets in Minot
The attention Of the city commissioner
of streets is respectfully called to the
condition Of several STREETS, which are
too numerous to mention and to the
Internal condition of a good many of
our crossings. We believe, however,
that the street commissioner, who has
his hands very full with troubles aris-
ing from the high water, will soon
put our streets in first class condition.
The Minot Auto Club will work with
him.

Automobile dealers say they are al
ready getting short of cars. Practi-
cally all of them have standing orders
with the factories with instructions to
ship all the cars they possibly can.
One concern says it can take care of
ten or fifteen cars easily if they can
only be shipped. All of the dealers
are doing a nice business. The auto
mobile business in the Minot territory
during the present year will run well
above the two million mark.

In a three-page article last week,
the Saturday Evening Post tells why
Roosevelt should be elected president
and the arguments appear very logi-

Roosevelt was president, not gun
was fired nor was one of our soldiers
or citizens killed. It looks very much
as tho Roosevelt will be the choice of
the republicans.

William Murray is candidate for
the nomination for county judge and
from present indications, he will be
nominated and reelected. Mr.. Muir
ray has lost none Of his old time popu-
larity, in fact, he has been adding new
friends right along. Efforts have been
made in the past to defeat him, but
his friends have all stood by him and
he came out with colors flying. Mr..
Murray has made first class county
Judge. He has handled his work in
an impartial manner and we do not
believe that there is any good reason
why he should be exchanged for q
man who may not give nearly as good
satisfaction.

Upwards of 300 houses will
have been built in Minot by the end of
the present year. A contractor in
forms the Independent that about a
hundred homes have already been built
here this year. The value of these i'm
provements alone will aggregate half
a million dollars. The city will make
about $4,000 worth Of improvements,
comprising several miles of paving,
the work having already begun: Be-
sides about a half million dollars
worth of sky-scrapers, business blocks
of various kinds, ware and wholesale
houses, are under construction. Mi
not's improvements during 1916 will
aggregate nearly million and half
dollars. This old town will make a
pretty fair-sized village yet.

THE COLONEL

|. The friends Of Col. Roosevelt are
greatly pleased at the reception he
received in Chicago a few days ago.
He went there to talk on prepared
ness and supposed he would be met
by an unsympathetic audience, as he
had been repeatedly told that the
middle west is against preparedness
as advocated by himself. Imagine
his surprise when he received a
great ovation and when the audience
went nearly wild with applause
when he would make telling point
in his arguments on the subject of
this country getting ready to take
care of itself and to assert its rights
and insist upon them before the
whole world Mr.. Roosevelt was in
fine form and although at the begin
ming of his address he did not know
how it was going to be received he
INDUCED in no pussyfooting, going
straight to the center and talking just
as he had been talking in the east.
That is one trait of character the
common people like. They want a
man to be direct and fearless. Say
what he thinks and think what he
says. That is a Roosevelt asset. He

TIE ONE STATESMAN.

Des Moines Capital: Col. Roose-
welt spoke to the Illinois Bar associ-
alton in Chicago Saturday night. He
talked for preparedness and for pat
riotic united citizenship. He said
no man, had right to continue a
foreign citizenship while claiming
an American citizenship. 1t does the
soul of an American good to read
the lofty and inspirational words of
the colonel. He was met with the
old time enthusiasm. The people
crowded on the streets to see him
and to hear him at the meeting. He
is the one American statesman who
knows his own mind and is not
afraid to speak out.

IOWA,S RIVERS.

Burlington Hawkeye: Strange, is
it not, that Iowa is land Of beau
tiful rivers and many Iowans are
not aware of the fact? Great steam
ers will never ascend and descend
these beautiful streams, but there is
no reason why thousands OF motor
boats should not carry happy Iowans
to all sorts Of beauty spots, bring
them nearer to nature and help them
tosa better appreciation of the great
state of Iowa, while exploring the riv-
ers of the state. AS the auto helps
many Iowans to discover that
they live in state that has much
of natural beauty, so the motor boat
will eventually help other thousands
of Iowans to discover much OF natur-
al beauty in their own state that
would otherwise ever remain a seal.
