the career of the great farmers lead
err. George S. LOTUS was leader OF
men. He started the greatest move
ment of its kind in history and lived
to practically see it's completion. Ma
ligned by his enemies, he fought only
harder for what he considered was
just. Predictions were made that he
was using the farmers for his person
al ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, yet this was not
true for he died a poor man. He
fought consistently and conscientious
ly and won. Perhaps some other
leader would have taken up the cause
of the farmers had Lotus never lived,
but it will always be remembered that
he was among the first to take up the
cudgel for the men who toll and pro-
duce and carry it to success. The
farmers of the Northwest will ever
cherish the memory of this capable,
indomitable, unselhsh leader who
erected his own monument in giving
the farmers better markets, more
ideal conditions and pleasanter homes.
He has gone to his reward but the
work which he began is being carried
on by those who, having had faith in
him, learned the valuable lessons
which he taught.

MINOTS OPPORTUNITY.

The Independent dislikes to find
fault with Minot in any way. for this
is such an ideal city in s. many re-
spects. There arc few things, how
ever. that we believe should be REM
edied. Last spring a great ado was
made in a city beautiful campaign.
The railway companies and citizens IF
Minot generally entered into plan
most enthusiastically which if carried
out would have made Minot the clean
est and most attractive city in the
United States. Some excellent work
has been done. Hundreds of beauti-
full flower gardens have been planted,
window boxes put up here and there
about the homes and business places
and there are many more carefully
kept lawns than ever before. But,
many fell by the wayside. The hot
weather came on, the hoe and the rake
no longer were attractive and on some
lots and along many streets the weeds
have been allowed to grow. The
Great Northern started out to keep
everything spick and span and really
did very commendable work, but a
journey along the company's right of
way reveals the fact that weeds are
growing very rank in many places.
Many vacant lots in the city require
the attention of the man with the
scythe. There is a law which provides
that the weeds on such lots may be
cut and the expense taxed up to the
property. There is still time to rem
edy all of these things. The weeds
will soon be going to seed. Let's al
get up an hour earlier each morning
for a week and go after these weeds
The best tonic in the world. Let's
make Minot the neatest looking city
in North Dakota. We suggest that a
committee from the federated clubs of
say a hundred women take it upon
themselves to see that the "men folks
get move on themselves.
The city ought to put on number
of extra men and make her streets
shine. The railway companies, well,
we believe they will not let these
weeds 60 to seed if our citizens will
set the right kind of an example.

his pride in his farm extend to the
road that runs past his farm.
In the village man with a nice
yard or who takes pride in the looks
of things never waits for the council
to get around to cut down the weeds
in the street or to fix up water
course, to remove an unsightly object
or even do a little grading-he goes
ahead and does it himself-never
thinks of handling the matter in any
other way. His reward is the salts
faction of having done good thing.
Hundreds of people are passing
your farm every day-are they tip
ping their hat to the white man who
lives there or are they saying the
harsh things that only an angry
teamster or hurried auto driver
know how to say?

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION.

Newspapers all over the country are
full of accounts of the spread Of in
fantile paralysis. Actually the num-
Der of cases is small, but they are dis
tributed over the entire continent, and
no community is exempt from the
danger. The true nature of the di-
sease is only imperfectly understood,
and methods of dealing with it are
still in the experimental stage. The
one thing on which all authorities are
agreed is that good sanitation and the
observance of the ordinary rules of
health affords the best possible pro-
lection. Whatever other measures
are adopted we should clean up and
keep clean. This is always good prac-
tice, and with the very real danger
that every community faces just now
it. becomes imperative. Waste mat
ter should not be allowed to accumu-
late anywhere. Weeds should be kept
down; manure should be removed, and
kitchen refuse should be disposed of
Immediately in order that there may
be no place for the propagation of di-.
sease germs of for the breeding of
flies which carry them from place to
place. The observance of these and
similar precaution may prevent an ep-
iGemic in our community. In any
event it will pay, because it will i'm
prove the general health. 1t is al
ways worth while, and never more so
than during this present summer.

John M. Parker, vice presidential
nominee Of the Progressive party, has
issued a call for a new Progressive
convention at Chicago, Aug. 5. Park
er and some of the other leaders are
disappointed at the act of Colonel
Roosevelt in turning down the nomi-
nation for president. Parker declares
that the Progressives should bury the
Bull Moose which led the loyal OIL
lowers into a wilderness and says
that some of the leaders could not
stand the acid test. The Progressive
party is not apt to make much Of a
showing in the present campaign but
it is suspected that Parker, who is
southerner, would be pleased to do
anything to make a democratic VIC

A WHITE MAN.

The other day while driving thru
the county with friend who is an OBJ
serving cuss, we noticed as we passed
a farm house that our friend suddenly
took off his hat and bowed.
Not seeing anyone to bow to, we
asked him what the idea was and he
said, "there's a white man lives there"
Noticing that we did not quite
catch on, he continued, "did you no
tice that load of gravel in the road
we just passed 2"
Having voiced our appreciation of
the gravel, he said, "that was the only
hole that has been filled since we came
out in this road. This means that the
hole was filled by the farmer along
whose land the hole in the road was.
That mans white man. He saw the
hole in the road and he knew that it
was a menace to travel. That hole was
enough to hitch up the old team last
night after supper and dump load
of gravel in the hole. Probably took
him an hour to do the work. Of course
he could have done what every other
man along this road has done-sit
down and wait for the road boss to
come along and fix it-but he isn't
built that way He knows the road
boss may never come this year be-
cause there are too many holes to fill.
so he fills the hole himself. That
mans a gentleman. l don't know his
name but he is a gentleman. I wish
he was running for Office this year,
would like to support him. You don't
lose nothing when you tie to man

Our friend having delivered himself
thusly, lapsed into a reverie that was
broken few minutes later as the car
went down into hole with a CULVER
ing thud. 1t happened that the hole
was right in front of another farm
house gate AS this paper is extern
sively read by women and children we
won't quote the diverse and sundry
remarks our friend made, but suffice
to say the comparison he made be-
tween the two farmers was pictur-
esque and highly entertaining.
There was more of the same kline
of oratory during the afternoon and al

The British have learned that a
treatment of salt and water for
wounds among the soldiers is giving
septic treatment. The patient is plac-
ed in a cradle so the bedding does not
touch the wound and the saline solu-
ton is permitted to trickle thru an
India rubber tube onto the wound,
cleansing it and healing it at the same
time. Our granddaddies used a SINH
lar treatment forty years ago. Salt
and water cured sore eyes and healed
sores. Our forebears were not such
numbskulls, after all.
