When you pull down the town in
which is your home, you are pulling
down yourself, and when you build
up you are building up yourself and
your neighbor. Try and Danish from
your mind the mistaken idea that all
good things are away off in some 9TH
er locality. Give your town all the
praise it can legitimatcly bear. 1t
certainly will do you no harm and
will cost you nothing; and above all
patronize your home Institutions

Postmaster General Burcson has
put his ear to the ground and now
recommends to the president that the
telephone and telegraph systems Of
the country be turned back to their
owners. He might do the same with
the railroads if he has the authority,
or at least Mr. Hines might do that
as we fail to see that the public is
gaining anything but an excessive
rate of freight and express under gov
eminent ownership to say nothing Of
an impaired service. There is abso-
lutely no competition under the pres
ent arrangement and all the public
has to do under the present system
is to be held up with the "take and

The debate between State Auditor
Karl Kositzky and Walter Liggett,
the nonpartisan advocate, which was
staged at Bismarck last Saturday aft
ernoon before an immense crowd, in
our judgment failed to bring forth
very much good for either side. 1t
ended in rag chewing MATCH which
took away the dignity and purpose of
well conducted debate. We have
never seen any joint political debate
in which such intense feeling is ram
part turn out favorably. 1t always
leaves rancor and hard feeling and
does not get people anywhere.

Gov. Frazier has designated May 2
as Arbor Day for North Dakota. This
is the one day in all the year when
the people Of this state should follow
the governors advice and plant tree
if not a lot Of trees. The prairics of
North Dakota and many of the lawns
Of the property owners of the state,
show the value Of Arbor Day. For
years we have been celebrating this
day and trees have been planted, with
the result that on our prairies and
around the homes of the state many
fine trees rear their heads and furnish
fine shade during the hot summer
months. Plant Il tree next Saturday.

Our boyhood days were 'pent on the banks of the Columbia where we wit 1essed the passing of the salmon year by year until measures to protect the industry forced upon the States. We remember the time when the upper Columbia was dotted with boats of gill netters and he time came when no one found it profitable to put gear on the upper river. Then came the closed season and the gradual return of the salmon until he industry the Columbia has almost reganed it's tormer importance. It is true that the hatcheries on the Columbia have played important part in restocking the river but we believe that natural propagation is the only way to prepetuate the sal mon in Alaska.
