Bears out Spirit Picture.

Seven years later. in 1908. the state
ment says. a woman relative Of Flora
Louden's discovered an old Photograph
Of the young woman which depicted her
wearing flowers in her hair. a cross upon
her breast and other symbolic
suc as appeared in DR.. Cooks spirit
picture.
Or. Cook asserts also that he obtained
4 spirit picture of Swedcnborg. Having
obtained a picture Of IAN elderly and
venerable looking man, with abundant,
wavy. snowy locks clustered about his
face and attired In a sort OF clerical
attire" he was carefully examining the
plato when he was aware Of a presence
IN the dark room.
"There came into my mind" writes
Or. Cook. two words. almost audible,
and so distinct were they that l In
stinctively put my up hand forbldding
him to speak.
"'Don't tell me- said I. IT'S Emanuel
0wedenborg.' Indeed ] was surprised,
for I had no remembrance of ever hay
ing seen a picture Of Emanuel Sweden
borg or Of having read any description
Of his personal appearance. l went to
the public library and the lady assistant
handed me a small. musty volume which
h had found in II storage room among
caetaway books and periodicals.
The title OF II, | saw at a glance,
WAs 'Ireland's Life of Swedenborg.' and
upon opening II my eyes fell upon an old.
discolored steel plate portrait subscribed
Emmanuel Swedenborg.' Comparing II with
the psychic photograph | saw that II
was almost an exact duplicate or fac
simile of H."
His Feeling as Picture II Taken.
When he sat for spirit pictures Dr.
Cook was aware, he informs Dr. Hyslop,
OF extraordinary psychic manifestations,
Drowsiness canle over him. "A cold. ley
sensation covered his entire forehead
sometimes he felt upon his head a dis
tinct pressure. such as might ave been
caused by a gloved hand lightly pressing
down. often. he AYERS. distinct COM
mands were impressed upon his brain
by the waiting spirits, who were some
times hrusque enough to say. Get a
picture! ="
Dr. Hyslop's comment upon these eX-
periments is In part as follows:
1--WE do not know anything about the
ways of spirits. All that we n is
that there ~ evidence they exist. We
do not even know We are taking photo
graphs of spirits. even IL We assumed
the phenomena To be genuine. The re-
suits might be produced by spirits with
out being the photographs Of spirits. All
depends upon the evidence"

Hyslop this summary of the result:

A few days later Dr. Cook and his

Or. Cook in his statement to DR.

a LESSON FROM NORWAY

st. Paul Dispatch.-There ought to
be a lesson for our own Department of
State in the record of E. II. Hobe, who
for twenty-five years has held the post
of Norwegian CONSUL in this district.
No doubt a quarter c%entury's service
as consul in a sirS!a district is unusual
even for a European envoy, but 1t Is
so entirely contrary to our own shift
ing policy of foreign representation
that II compels commentator.
OF late years the United States has
shown a determination to take the
consular service out of politics, and
make 1t an organization for the de-
velopment and maintenance of foreign
trade. Good progress already has been
made In this direction, but until our
foreign posts take on something of the
permanency of European consulates in
this country. giving the incumbent SUI
icient time to study the conditions
and opportunities of trade. our manu-
facturers and exporters won't get from
our foreign state representatives that
usefulneess that they should.
MI. Hobe's long tenure of office in
this district has made him familiar
with commercial conditions through
ont the Northwest. and he is able to
render valuable service not only to his
government, but to the business in
tsrests OF Norway which seek an out
~ tor their products here. He has
0onS much to encourage closer trade
awaa1ione between the two countries.

The Tendency of Every
Man Is to Live up to
His Name
By j. r. HAMILTON
Former Advertising Manager Of Wanamakers, Philadelphia

Wherever you find a good name you will find some man
irving to live up to it. Character follows reputation far more
quickly than reputation follows character. No one ever lost his
good name except through folly.
What the world thinks of a man is the very best moral tonic
that is sold under the label of philosophy.
And it is the same with merchandise as it is with men. The
nameless thing is dreaded everywhere, while the thing with a
good name is usually good because you expect it to be.
Men grow proud of their products. You will find a manu-
facturer saying, "This shoe has got to be good because it bears
my name" You will find a Gamer saying, 81 cannot use I've any
more than I can tell a lie" You will find a clothing manufac-
turer saying, "If 1 am all WOOL my clothing must also be all
wool"
And so it goes with every single product that carries a brand
or name. Whenever a man sets a standard, he strives to live up
to it; and whenever the world sets that standard, he doubles the
effort.
Which simply means, if you want the best, you must ask for
the best. And every time you ask, you make it better.
There is hardly one of you readers who does not know the
sugar and from hosiery to baking powder some good name is
indelibly fixed in your mind, yet, when you ask for an article,
most of the time you do not use that name.
And every time you fail to do so, you discourage the maker,
you lower the standard for yourself and you allow some inferior
thing to gain in strength and capacity.
Let this go home in your mind: You set the standard of mer-
chandise. The maker follows your ideals. Authorizations creep
in through your laxity. Whenever you ask for any old thing,
you get it.
While you are reading the advertising news in this paper
today, make up your mind to ask only for what you know to be
good; to learn what is best and demand it and to have no parley
with the nameless things of trade.

THE TROUBLE is WITH THE MAN

The Dakota Farmer:-When good
cows are bringing about $1,000, and
corr about 70 cents, it looks as though
good farming must be paying a little
for $500 or $500, and corn some
times went as low as 10 and IS cents.
Since coming to Dakota, the writer
has seen tens of thousands of bushels
of corn cribbed in the Missouri ri yer
counties of southern South Dakota at
10 cents a bushel; and then seen the
owners lose money on it. One fall in
Iowa he helped feed and drive hun
dreds of hogs to market at 3 cents a
pound, and the fall after bought COWS
in Wisconsin, taking his pick at $500
A little later he bought sheep in the
richest counties of eastern Wisconsin,
also selecting the best, at $1.25 per
head.
Eggs in these times were selling as
low as 4 cents and butter at 5 cents
in the country stores, and everything
the farmer produced in proportion;
and still good farmers were doing we'll
and not complaining.
If it doesn't pay to farm now, it
never did and it never will, and If it
is not paying YOU, you paid too much
for your land or it isn't located right,
or you have too much of it, or you are
not farming along right lines.
1t is a lamentable thing that so
many farmers who are not succeeding
in these days try to lay the blame onto
somebody OF something else, and still
more lamentable that they will let
some political shyster, or self-styled
friend Of the people" magnify their
small or imaginary troubles till they
can think of nothing else. and are led
to believe that all Of them can be trac-
ed to the well-to-do. who. in their

The publication of the letters which
passed between President Wilson and
Senator Store recently concerning our
efforts to remain 1t peace with the
world and at the same time retain Jul
national honor, has given the people
something to ponder over. The Presi.
dents letter puts the matter in a very
clear light and establishes beyond any
doubt the sincerity of the man who sits
at the head Of our government. In his
efforts to maintain peace and along
with it stand up for the rights of Amer

shouldered a responsibility manfully,
and he is entitled to the honor and sup

THE DEMOCRATIC "RoCK"

A Pierre dispatch under date of
February Goth, says that Attorney
General Caldwell has given an opinion
which puts the democratic convention
at Mitchell, on the oath, somewhat in
the air. His holding is that the action
of the Legislature in putting new life
into the old political organizations Of
the state, was a constitutional and
valid right of theirs, and that until a
new committee is elected under the
provisions Of the new primary the old
committees are the only legal author
on his contention that the legislature
has power to appoint or elect any Off
cial of the state who is not a consti-
tutional officer and that in validating
the old committees, they were abso-
within their rights. This action
means that the Old county committee
men, and the old state chairman, in
this particular case, DR.. Rock of Aber-
deem, are the legal party organization
of the democrats, and that the state
committee selected at the Johnson
Candy meeting on the oath, at the
second democratic meeting has no
legal existence, and that so far as
party action is concerned from now
until the new committeeman are Sc
lected at the primary in May. the Rock
faction is the one which is 10 decide
what shall be done in democratic poll

lie awake nights to see how badly they
can Cypress them.
These men cannot see the weeds
that are almost as high as their corn;
the mustard that almost blinds the
ewes of their %neighbors; the wild oats
that take more fertility and moisture
than the meagre crop asks for; nor
the scrub bull, ram and rooster that
are a disgrace to the neighborhood.
Their eyes, mind and time are all
taken up with matters at Washington,
Bismarck, Pierre or Helena, and they

OH there, but they say nothing and
know less about their own business,
or what should be their business.
These Are Making Good

down too soon. 1t is better for him

and even ''benighted Russia is peo-
pling whole neighborhoods in some of
our driest and most uncertain country
with a happy, self-suppolting content
ed lot of people that drouth cannot

and more we are finding out that there
is something wrong, radically wrong,
with the man, or his methods, who in
these times fails to make good on
land. 1t is useless to try to disguise or
excuse the fact any longer.
Let us help in every way in our
power the man who through sickness
or other misfortune has been unable
to make good; but let us 40 longer en-

negleCts his business to attribute his
lack of success to lack of legislation,

Few people have had an opportunity
to learn the facts of the Ford Peace
Pilgrimage and know how grossly the
press of this country misrepresented
and misquoted those responsible for
the trip. The first impression of the
party was received in Norway from a
drunken New York newspaper cores
pendent who addressed the Norweg-
ians as the boat touched the dock
with the word "skoll" which, as our
correspondent says, he had learned
when hosting his numerous drinks.
The expedition, while rather spectac.
ular, made a lasting impression with
the Europeans and as a result those
familiar with the situation say that the
war will be shortened as a result OF
the trip.
