A Different Viewpoint

When Nonpartisan women of the
state gathered here in annual con-
vention, surveyed the situation and
adopted resolutions, they brought to
this session Of the state legislature
In peculiarly forceful way the wom-
ans viewpoint in public affairs.
Women look at many matters in a
manner essentially different from
men, and so their recommends ions
and suggestions are presented from a
viewpoint different from that Of the
average legislator. To be exact there
are only two women among the 1872
citizens who vote when the legislative
rolls are called. Their ideas Of econ.
cmy, g voiced in Endorsement Of the
Burkhart bill regarding educational
institutions, runs to the elimination Of
duplication. Their demand for better
marketing facilities echoes . cry
which has been heard In North Da-
kota for many years, but their sup

TEACHER DESCRIBES
HER music CLASSES
Object Is lnstiIIing Desire for
Good Music, Says Miss
Ruby WiImot

The ultimate goal In teaching music
classes, according to Miss Ruby Will
mot, music teacher In Bismarck's
grade schools, Is to irlstill a desire for
good music.
This seed is sown as the pupils
learn to sing in daily lessons, accord
ing to Miss Wilmot, always working
for q soft, smooth tone. An effort is
made to have those children with q
sense OF true tone use this gift to
help those who must acquire "this
feeling of Tone"
THE pupils with the truest ears are
seated in the rear" Miss Wilmot says,
and are the leaders or pupil teach
ers' in their rows. Individual work is
carried on each day with their help.

Fortunately Placed

Decision by the Baptist Ministers
conference to return here in 1894 for
their annual meeting speaks well for
Bismarcks future as host city In
North Dakota.
Just why the members OF this group
selected the Capital City for their
meeting next year as we'll as this was
not stated in the announcement but,
since they made little or no use OF
Bismarck's public facilities, it may be
assumed that there were reasons
other than our possession OF the fin
est big convention accommodation
layout in the state.
The hospitality and friendliness of
Bismarck were well exemplified for
our recent visitors by the Rev. E. l..
jackson, pastor of the host church,
and his congregation. Undoubtedly,
members OF the conference were made
to feel welcome.
But even that personal touch may
not contain the answer. It seems more
probable that the ministers selected
Bismarck because 1t Is the most CEN
trally located city in the state with
facilities to accommodate their gath
ering. The cost to the average indi-
Vidual was less than II the convention
were held almost anywhere else.
This fact, together with our possess
sion OF a fine city auditorium and q
great memorial building. along with
excellent hotel facilities, should do
much to encourage other conventions
in the future.

IL You Wait Long Enough

Those who contend that the farm
problem will right itself in this coun-
try-if We wait long enough-are
right, judged in the light OF figures
recently complied by the federal de-
partment OF agriculture. The waiting,
however. may be a matter Of genera
lions or even ages. II we are to do
ourselves any good We must find some
other system.
The longtime cure is suggested by
data on soil erosion compiled by gov
eminent experts. Every year, we are
told, one and half billion tons OF
eroded material finds its way into our
river channels and SO to the sea. OF
this total amount more than three
hundred million cubic yards OF the
finest soil Of. the nation is brought
annually to the mouth of the MissLs-
sippi river. This amount is sufficient
TO build in one years time 100 square
miles Of new land with fine silly
soil to depth of three feet.
Already in this country more than
81 ,000,0 900 acres of land have gone en-
tirely out of cultivation because OF
erosion. This acreage is greater than
the entire arabic area of Japan.
However the direct loss to agricul-
ture Is only portion of the price We
pay each year because of erosion. 1t
has been demonstrated by actual ex-
periments. both in this country and
In Europe, that erosion can also be
held largely accountable for disas-
trous floods and drouth periods, and
for the pollution of our streams which
renders navigation more difficult and
menaces public health.
The commonest suggestion for deal
Ing with this problem, and one of the
best, Is reforestation or afforestation,
better rotation of crops and the
planting Of grasses.
North Dakota is suffering from
erosion now because of the fact that
the buffalo grass which once held the
soil together has disappeared with the
advance Of agriculture in a virgin
country.
As things stand, this nation has
plenty Of land. It is claimed that it
has yielded SO much the farmer is
Impoverished by the plentitude of his
production. But that is no reason
tor permitting these acres to waste
away before the relentless advance of
nature.
II, as suggested by his prediction
end pre-inaugural remarks, Presi-
dent-elect Roosevelt has plans for re-
forestation and afforestation, flood
control and other public works, North
Dakota should make every effort to
get her share of these developments.
Erosion could solve the farm prob
lem by wasting away the farms but
We should not bequeath that sort of
farm relief to our children
