Who has not observed wisely that “brevity is'the soul of wit” and not realized that the thought was Shakespeare’s ? / . It is worth while to recall, on this his birthday, how much Shakespeare bequeathed to his fellow men. Let us’reverse Marc Anthony’s phrase and see that in the case of Shakespeare at least, “the GOOD that men do lives after them.” STATE FLOUR ; ; “Lie, lie like a horse theif” were the instruc- | the state legislation.

This estimate is very low if wild oats are included. Holland promises to take precautions “on the spot” to prevent the escape of Wilhelm. That will do if the spot is just back of the ear. \ EDITORIAL REVIEW . \, Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinions of The Tribune, They are sented here in order \hat our readers may have sides of important issues which are being disci the press of the day. f oth in “ “THE WINE OF LIFE IS DRAWN” Life ‘ain’t what it used to be” here in North Dakota. ‘ the Nonpartisan league ‘shooting: gallery so fast they are (taking all the joy out of life. y Now there was our genial friend, Thomas Allan Box, and his shadow, Jack ‘Hastings. \ Their financial enterprises, like the Valley.

Judging from these comparative figures, it does not seem so strange that a mortgage for $5,000,- 000 is reported to have been placed on a mill ap- praised at $120,000. ‘ “WE ARE FOR THE U.S. A.” Kansas miners, striking in defiance of the state by employers, paraded the streets of Girard. They carried a banner upon which was scribed: _“We are for the U.S. A.” They marched to the jail in which was confined Alexander Howat, miners’ union. head. Howat had been arrested and jailed for refusing to obey the order of a court, organized by state law, to arbitrate capital-labor controversies. Howat was cheered by the marchers. They gloried in his re- fusal to obey the lawof their state. They cheered him when he referred to the governor of Kansas as a “skunk of a governor.” The governor’s duty it is td enforce the law of the state. Yet these men who cheered disobedience to law carried the “We are for the U. S. A.” banner! Men who are for the United States of America are men who obey laws, laws of state and laws of the nation. Men who do not obey those laws are not for the U.S. A. They are for something else, in- porous blaster, but he was removed finally. When they ‘lifted Mr. “Shoot-it-to-the-other- league banks”’ Waters from his swivel chair at the Bank of North Dakéta and “permitted” him. to devote all of'his time to his sisal trust, it was like losing an old friend: ;The extent to which Mr. Waters is missed by the bank is shown by the fact that Mr. Cathro ‘is now holding down) both jobs. In view of the ifact that the state will save $15,000 on Mr. Waters’ salary, it ought to be more generous with Mr. Cathro’s food allowance, and permit him to: order $1.50 meals instead of 90 cent ones. You can’t get good service unléss you feed well. Look 4t the $7.50 meals Mr. Box] i made the state’ pay for, and see what we taxpay- ers had to show for it. * Mr. Roy Halliday is‘ following in the steps of his chief, Mr. Waters, and probably taking his unique bank examination methods with him. And now comes Mr. Wehe, the latest victim for whom the skidg have been greased, He will slide peacefully and ‘quietly and not make.much splash. “ e ; If the process of shedding all excess baggage in.preparation fo¥ the approaching eléction is to be continued indefinitely, might wel suggest that the more or less reverend. George Totten be asked to make good his promise to resign?, In lighten- ing the ship to weather the storm, the former reverend Geerge might be called pure ballast, from a political standpoint. Since he appafently has thought better of his resolve to commit hari- kari for the good of the cause, why not prod him along a little in his long advertised and too long delayed stunt of walking the plank? Box, Hastings, Stangeland, Macdonald, Kate O'Hare, Hagen, Halliday, Waters, Wehe—all gone. |' If Brinton would run for congress it might help a little, or if the younger Mr. Hildreth would come back ‘to his “unfinished work” it would add zest to.life, and put a little yeast in the dull‘dough of existence. But without all these familiar faces, the approaching campaign is going to be| like warmed over tea. We may well say with the immortal William: ° { “The wine of life is drawn and the mere lees‘.

North Dakota Says Com- ‘missioner of Immigration; All Wheat Farming Rarely Profitable “Do not sell your farm!” This is the advice of Dr, John H. Worst, com- missioner of immigration, to the far- mers of North /Dakota. “Quite a number of farmers, seem anxious to-sell their farms,” says Dr. Worst? This doubtless is true of far- merg if every agricultural state. The disposition to change location without any obvious reason for doing so, seems natural. However, before selling out, one should consider’ well what .advan- | locality will offer.’ 3 “There is‘ not a section of North ‘Dakota where farmers pursued proper methods of tillage and practiced mix- ed farming, but what they made a good living and money besides. With them tliere was no lack of precipita- tion of sul..cient extent to materially interfere with their prosperity. Those farmers who made failure simply pur- sued such methods as would have re-! sulted in failure almost anywhere else: For it is a fact that where butter fat for instance, is relied upon for profit the income is regwar and ‘such farm- ers are making no complaint about the country, On the other hand, they are boosters, They are buying more land instead of trying to sell out. ‘All Wheat \Not Profitable “‘All-wheat-farming is rarely profit- able in the long run. Single cropping has never been. successful in ,any country—for any length of time. North Dakota is no exceptién, “If I weré permitted to offer advice it would be to change farming meth- ods that have -not proved successful rather'than sell out: Better to imitate the methods ‘pursued by successful farmers in the same neighborhood.

There will be a large acreage of wheat sown’ and the condition of the ‘soil this year cquses the farmers to be very optimis- tic as to prospects for a good crop. Wheat is not the only crop; that will be raised ‘extensively, however, For- age crops will receive an equal amaunt of attention.
