ct Never In the history OF politi'
cal campaign since Tennessee was ad'
mitted to the union has there been
such apathy Indifference and general
don't care a cuss" about the result
as Is manifested by the people now
They are wholly unconcerned about
the fate OF the democratic party state
or national. The part that Governor
Cox played In his attempt TO Interfere
In the affairs Of sovereign state and
scrap the constitution has contrbnt
ed to this lack of interest and feeling
OF indifference.
Most OF the democrats In Tennes
see are of The. old fashioned sort
They believe In the fundamentals OF
the party. They are states rights
democrats and they have never been
partisans OF the present idea that the
federal government should regulate
everything. They too have pretty
strong affection for constitutional gov
eminent. They believe In the sacred
ness of written guarantees Of govern
ment. Therefore they are not en-
thusing over candidates. who treat the
fundamental law of their state with
contempt and who counselled federal
interference with the electoral fran
chise. y
Gov. Cox will be wise il be devotes
most Of his time talking in Tennessee
TO- the league OF nations, to construc
tive legislation for the readjustment
OF the affairs of the country and to
to broad fundamental principles of the
democratic party leaving issNes OF
purely political espediency alone. In
fact the lesson In Maine should moi
be lost on the Governor.

BASEBALL GAM BLING.

! 1t is great pity that the gamblers
could not keep their dirty hands of
baseball. altogether the, eleanest.. most
manly and finest OF all athletic sports.
Gamblers have ruined more sports
than any other one thing. 1t was the
open and outrageous conduct Of the
gambling fraternity that.did 70 much
to Danish horse racing from many
tracks In Tennessee and other states.
The gamblers have sought to bring
odium upon the semi-profess!oual
baseball games played in the smaller
towns. According to rumors there
was q good deal of gambling during
the short season OF the ill-starred Co.
lumbia ball team. The betting fea.
ture. always threatens any spot, be-
cause the average better or gambler
cares more about winning than he
does about the sport. 1t Is hard to
imagine clean gambling.
Baseball is the great American
sport. II Is the favorite with all
classes of people. II Is q truly demo.
cratic game. II requires courage,
aiertness. energy, quickness OF deci-
sion and other elements OF real man
hood to play the great American game.
Men who would sacrifice the sport for
a few filthy dollars in order that gam.
blers may enjoy q winning are totally
unworthy TO wear the uniform OF any
baseball organization. They should
be, punished, but it Is even more Inn.
portant that the gambling fraternity
who have corrupted players and
brought odlum upon clean and
healthy and honorable sport should
be severely dealt with. II the gam
blers could be forced to look Tor
awhile through prison bars IL would
give quite general satisfaction.

EXHIBITS ARRIVE

Exhibits for the big county agricul.

ARMlSTlcE DAY.

BY all means there should be cele.
hration OF Armistice day, here and q
reunion of the ex.service men In Co
umbia. The boys who served in the
late war have not yet gotten far
enough away from 1t to look forward
with any eagerness to a reunion but
twenty. years from now they Will
view the matter In AN altogether diff
ferent light. They will then be an
xlous for the victory medals and other
evidences OF their services and sacrf'
fices In the great war. 81.
No .Armistice Day should be per.
mitted to pass in Columbia without
an appropriate celebration. It is a
time to stir the hearts OF the Ameri-
can people and to rededicate them to
the great principles upon which the
nation Ia founded. There should be
more interest shown in the Ameri.
can Legion. 1t Is al organization
that can serve d great and useful
purpose. Unfortunately the efforts OF
i anfew' readers to make 1t q selfish or
SANITATION lost 1t some OF the prestige
that otherwise 1t wenld have had. but

legion are fine American citizens and
can be depended upon to stand for
the best interests Of the country. Is

equal distribution of the losses due TO
falling prices or any equalization of

SAVED HIS SONS
LIFE, HE STATES
Joseph Litch Praises Tanlac For
Bringing Health To His
Boy Bobby"

According to the testimony of the
multiplied thousands who have used
it, there is nothing more invigorating
than Tanlac to persons suffering from
the after effects Of influenza, lagrippe,
typhoid, pneumonia, operations, bron-
chial troubles or who are in rundown
condition from any cause.
Another striking instance in con-
nection with this fact is evidenced
by the statement of Joseph Litch,
4043 Emerson street, Minneapolis MINI
regarding the results of Tanlac in
the case of his young son, Robert,
who seemed unable to recover his
strength, following severe attack
of pneumonia, until he began taking
the Master Medicine.
ION November fourth" said Mr..
Litch, Bobby was taken with meas
les, later pneumonia set in, a special
nurse was in constant attendance and
l was told that my son had only a
! fighting chance of getting we'll. The
whole family had given up hopes of his
recovery as his vitality seemed al
most entirely gone, and nothing did
him any good.
| after lingering for sometime with
| no sign of returning strength, my wife
who had been keeping up with the
testimonials being published for Tan
las, suggested that we try that med
icine. This idea was strongly oppos-
ed, but, we began anyway giving Bob
by Tanlac. At the time he started
on it he could take no food and could
drink nothing except water. The sec
ond day after the use Of Tanlac was
begun he asked for some beef broth.
His appetite gradually increased and
on Christmas day he was able to get
out for little walk. Well, after the
holiday vacation he started to school
again and is filling out and building
up right along. l am glad to rec
commend Tanlac because l honestly
believe that it saved my sons life,
and neither my wife nor myself will
ever stop praising il"
Tanlac is sold in Minot by Taylor
Drug Co.; in Ryder by Geo. c. Couch;
in Kenmare by John l.. Wenmark; in
Douglas by J. J. Donahue, and in

More and Better Wheat

The worlds visible supply of wheat
is about 200,000,000 bushels less than
a year ago. The acreage sown to win
ter wheat in the United States is less
by 100000 or 100000 acres than
last year. The Government forecasts
that the winter wheat crop will be
only 483,O0O,00O bushels as against
731 100000 bushels last year.
The. visible supply of wheat in the
United States is 63,000,00O less than
last year. Elevator stocks in Mime
apolis and Duluth, including Durum,
are only about 100000 bushels COM
pared with $4,000, 900 bushels year
ago. This is scarcely enough to keep
the mills running for more than week
or two.
There will undoubtedly be strong
demand both at home and abroad for
all of the spring wheat we can pos
sibly grow. Farmers who state that
they will not put in wheat because
the guaranty has been removed, should
consider these facts. This ought to
be big wheat year at big profit
for the Northwest.

Advantages of Flax For Planting
ttHi -5 Il, Nnuv

Flax is a crop that can yet be sown
and do we'll. The land if newly plow-
ed should be packed as fax likes q
firm seed bed. Flax while expensive,
yet due to the small amount sown
per acre the seed will cost less per
acre than wheat. This is late for
sowing wheat, it needs to start in
cool weather to start right. The
county agent can likely help secure
seed flax. The, Experiment Station,
Agricultural College, North Dakota
can also help in locating seed flax.
Flax is one of the best cash crops
for North Dakota. The acreage
should be kept up so as not to lose
the crop to the State.
