In justice to the Sisters of St. Fran
els, who are in charge Of St. Joseph's
hospital, the Independent wants it
clearly understood that the Ruso wo-
man who died following the birth of a
twilight Sleep" babe, did not die
from the effects of the treatment it.
self, but from infection. We are in
debted for this information to the
Mother Superior and the head nurse.
The Independent did not intend to con-
vey the impression that death occur
red from any particular cause, for we
are in no position to know. We have
not changed our views, however, con-
corning "Twilight Sleep" which has
been placed under ban by a large
percentage Of the country's best doc
tors. At the same time, no hospital
can deny the right Of any doctor to
use this method if he so desires. The
only instances where hospitals dare 70
interfere with methods Of physicians
are in malpractice cases, and Twilight
Sleep cannot properly be classified as
such. We criticised the method-not
the hospital, which stands exceedingly
high among these noble institutions
of our state.

LITTLE CHATS WITH YOU.

Some mems lives are one long COM
promise. Each of US has the choice
of passively accepting circumstances
as they come or taking up arms
against sea of troubles.
Almost every hour we are called
upon to choose between the easiest
way and the way that seems right.
Sometimes it seems as if we were
foolish to pit our strength against
the current, when we see so many
others floating on their backs with
happy smiles upon their faces and
a general air of "ich gebibble" about
them. Those care-free others-how
easily they take the rising tide! Here
are we, splashing and spouting, kick
ing our legs half off-all for few
ridiculous principles!
In the free and easy, but amply ex-
pressive colloquialism of the day, the
back-foaters "get by apparently as
well as we do.
But who would make history if
men were all satisfied?
The professors are the ones who
have been showing the old world
through centuries of improvement
the ginks who aren't content to take
things as they come and "let we'll
enough lone."-Ginger.

WHERE IS LOGAN?

Logan, nesting midst the shelter
and scenic beauty Of the picturesque
grandeur of the magnificent timber,
which fringes the Mouse river, nine
miles east Of Minot, is the centre of
territory far famed for fertility. AS
far as the eye can reach, from what
soever compass point we choose, evi..
dence of prosperity is afforded; and
the yields recorded and verified Of
wheat, oats, barley, or flax, are well
above the State average. Logan corn
has won the highest honors in wide
competition; Logan potatoes are ship
ped by the carload each season for
seed. Garden truck and poultry pro-
ducts are unexcelled, and no other dis
trict adjacent to Minot, can exhibit
better cattle, horses or hogs. Logan
invites inspection and comparison,
confident that her claims while SEEM
ingly extravagant, are not exaggerat-
ed.
Now for the Milk in the COcoanut.
With two elevators handling over
half a million bushels of grain, an
accommodating and progressive bank,
modern school, lumber yard, three
stores, hotel, pool hall, livery barn,
blacksmith shop, and the finest public
hall in the county, we still have an
excellent location for hardware
store, drug store, implement business,
garage, and meat market. 1t is sur
prising that a town, encircled by a
rich territory, peopled by progressive
and prosperous farmers, should have
hitherto escaped the attention of the
wide awake investor, but the last three
months have witnessed development,
rapid yet real.
Logan has good roads from each
direction, grain being marketed there
from within few miles of Minot,
Sawyer or Surrey.
A nod is as good as a wink to
blind horse. &c..
There is still room for those with
enterprise. ..- s.a. ~
Lots on Main street, just a few re-
naming, from $75 up.
I have good farms at right prices
and terms. Come in and talk with
the man who is located right here
where the best farms are. It's cold
riding in the Minot mans car those
nine miles to good land.

best Companies represented.

Tuesday mornings fire has demon
strated the fact that Minot needs a
better fire fighting equipment. In
saying this, we do not cast any refiec-
lions on the brave young men who
stood water-soaked for hours fight
ing the flames with the thermometer
standing away below the zero mark,
but the time has come when Minot
needs an apparatus equal to that Of
the larger cities. We have a five story
humber Of three story buildings, and
many other tall buildings will 60 up
in time. The fire fighters say we
need an aerial truck, a fire chiefs
wagon carrying two small chemicals
and several hundred feet of hose.
Practically every bit of equipment
was in use that morning. What would
have happened had there been call at
the time from another part of the
city?

GEO. ]. SMITHS ANNOUNCEMENT
Makes Formal Announcement of His
Candidacy for Republican Nominal
tiOn for Governor.

To the People of North Dakota:
am candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor of North Da-
kota l will be candidate until the
polls close. l will ask the voters Of
this state to vote for me, because I
stand for new brand of legislation;
dealing with dollar-and-cent issues
that affect the lives and welfare of
every citizen and child in this state. If
we can do for the farmer Of this state
some of the things that have been
done to him; if we can give him pay
for what he does; if we can secure leg
islation that will help him in dollars
and cents; if we can help him fight
the battles that have been unjustly
waged against him; if we can give
him industrial and political freedom,
we will be doing something that will
make North Dakota the banner state
in the union, bring settlers to our
state without cost, and assure them
of decent treatment and fair chance
to make living for themselves and
their families. Government has so
long been used for helping the few,
that when it is proposed to use the
government to help the many, it is
thought to be Socialism. Maybe it is.
If it is, then let us have it. For four
thousand years the farmers have been
the under dog, with unequal political
chances, unequal chances to gain q
livelihood. In all that time, he has not
been member of the ruling class in
any country, but generally, in the
majority.
We believe that the age of organic
alton for farmers is at hand; we be-
lieve they are going to secure for
themselves justice that has been de-
MED, rights that have been refused;
legislation that has been withheld
and right to market their own pro-
duce in their own way in their own
market. l invite the support and CO.
operation of every voter in the state
who is interested in the program pre-
pared by the farmers of this state to
better financial conditions, secure
equal justice and opportunities, and
pay for what they do.
GEO. J. SMITH.

THE KNOCKERS CREED.

I bel1eVe that nOthlng IS right. I
believe that everything is wrong. I
believe that 1 alone have the right
ideas. The town is wrong, the people
are wrong, the things they do are
wrong and they are doing them in the
wrong way, anyhow. l believe I could
fix things if they would let me. If
they don't I'll get a lot of other fell
lows like myself, and we will have a
law passed to make others do things
the way we want them done. I do not
believe that the town ought to grow
I believe in fighting every public i'm

pleasure I am always to the front
in opposing things and never yet adj

1T ISN'T YOUR TOWN-IT'S YOU
If you want to live in the kind Of a
town,
That's the kind Of town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a
grip,
And start on a long, long hike.
You'll find elsewhere what you left
behind,
For there's nothing that's really new.
It's a knock at yourself when you
knock your town,
1t isn't your town-it's you.
Real towns are not made by men
afraid,
Lest somebody else gets ahead.
When everyone works and nobody
shirks,
You can raise town from the dead.
And if you make your personal stake,
Your neighbor can make one too,
Your town will be what you want to
1t isn't your town-it's you.

No man will be the worse for lis
tening and giving consideration to the
advice of his friends. But after all,
each of US must decide for ourselves,
and the counsel of others can be at
best only an incident in the processes
by which we arrive at a conclusion.
The viewpoint of our friends is often
helpful to US, because it may restore
to US a perspective, but he who ac-
cepts all advice as determining will
find it difficult to keep his individual
ity. It is almost trite to say that the
successful life is the individual life.

It's pretty good time to look over
insurance policies and see that you are
properly protected. Take an inventory
of your stock if you have none. No
matter what sort of a business you
are engaged in, you will find an inven-
tory quite necessary in case you are
numbered among the unfortunate.
