~ was uCbcIlulntu I'd ilOlu n fallU-
cation meeting at the League in Chi
cage Immediately after the adjourn
ment of the republican convention
for the purpose Of endorsing the can
didates named in the party. The
committee also fixed upon June % as
a date on which the state organiza-
tions through the country shall meet
for the same purpose. Plans for
raising funds and for distribution OF
literature were adopted.
A great deal of enthusiasm for the
work was displayed by the committee
men, and each one reported that his
state would double its number of
clubs before the National Convention
is held. Besides the large number of
new clubs there has been notable
increase in the membership of those
already formed. This is particularly
true of New York state.

How Protection Protects.

The scale of protective duties should
be so adapted as to secure the right
of every owner of land to provide for
his present wants and the future of
his family and to add to the wealth
and power of his country by develop
ing and briging into profitable use all
the resources of his estate, whether
they be the products of the farm or
those of the forest, the mine or the
quarry. The landowners of a ma
ton, however, are not that portion of
its citizens who are most dependent
upon the maintenance of a system of
duties which should, under all the
course of international commerce,
defend their rights for though COM
mercial depression may prevent them
from making profits to be boarded or
expended in the improvement of their
estates, they may procure sustenance
from them. But it is not SO with the
landless millions. Their estates con-
sist of their thews and sinews; of the
training of their eyes and hands to
quick cooperation of their tasta for
and aptness in the production of the
attractive in form, texture and color !;
of inventive genius, which enables
them, by new combinations of me-
chanical principles, or the applica-
tions of science to the arts, to increase
the productive power of nations.
These and the like aptitudes consti-
tute the estate of millions of people

Fargo, Dakota, Feb. 81

Fargo, Dakota, Feb. 2I.
FRIEND BLAKE What are the
newspapers of the East "howling so
much about the loss of life in Dakota
for? Why, we have had a regular
Paradise in Dakota this winter, COM
pared with tie terrible storms of New
York and New England There has
not been morning this whole winter
that nv wife could not drive me to
my office with comfort, and L live
over a mile out. The facts are New
England climate, taken as whole
winter and summer, does not begin to
compare with that of Dakota for COM
fort and health; it makes me laugh
to read of Dakota in some of the
Eastern papers; they don't stop to
think what a mighty empire we are ;
in area we are as large as Maine,
Vermont, New Hampshire, Connect
cut, Rhode Island, New York and
Pennsylvania all put together. We
raised about 6O,O0O,000 bushels of
wheat last year, besides millions of
bushels of other grains. We now
have a population of over 600, 900 of
the most enterprising people you ever
saw, and resources that yield fabu-
lous sums every year. If you hear
any one say that 1000 persons lost
their lives in Dakota billiards. this
winter, don't you believe it. As a
matter of fact l presume 100 would
be an outside figure. You frequently
kill that many in one railroad disas-
ter in New England, and it is scarce
" heard of. Ask the Eastern papers
to let up on some of their Dakota
.sfsh'' stories and tell a little more
truth. Yours very truly,

Cannot be a Delegate.

Senator Edmunds has addressed a
letter to G.. O.. Benedi t of the Free
Press in viii h he refuses to allow his
name to be used as a delegat to the
Republican National Convention. 1t
closes with the following, referring to
the coming political campaign:
81 most earnestly hope that the
delegates from our State will be Sc
lected from the strongest of our many
strong Republican men, whose calm
ness, wisdom and foresight will have
an influence much greater than the
mere number of their votes. 1t is, /
think, folly to ignore the fact that the
contest we have to wage against the
real foes (whether they mean it or
not) of American industry and pro-
duction, and of equal political rights
and of upright political administra-
ton, is to be a severe one, and that
victory can only be achieved by per-
feet union, both in sentiment as to
candidates and the vigorous and zeal
Gus cooperation of all who believe in
Republican principles. So united,
and so acting, am confident that the
Republican banner will again be un-
furled at the headquarters of the
Government, representing political
and civil liberty in every State, pro-
tected and defended by law, the puri-
ty of the ballot-boX, the protection
and encouragement of American la
Dor. production and commerce, and
the administration of the Civil Service
under a real compliance with the
principles our party has declared, the
reverse of which is being practiced
by the Administration now in power.

the purpose of making the canal as a
private commercial enterprise but
of course the shadow of the stars and
stripes will cover this enterprise.
There can be little doubt that this
project will go forward to success
full conclusion. Our own engineers
and men of ripe Judgment in such
concerns all unite in the opinion that
this route is feasible and that the
canal proposed by this company is to
be the true solution of the problem of
interoceanic transit. Gen. Grant was
of that opinion and he was not like
ly to be controlled in his view of facts
by any enthusiastic fancies. This
project is in good hands and the sat-
isfactory initiation of its labors will
probably be the last nail in the coffin
of that tottering scheme, the Panama
Canal.-MdtL and EGpress.

-bo are known as artists, artisans,

who are known as artists, artisans,
laborers, or by other terms of desig-
nation; and who have the right to
demand that their estates also shall
be defended by the nation, though
their defense shall require other agen-
cies than the power of navy aud
army. The dali y wages of these toll
ing millions are the units of measure
ment by which their estates are told,
and their means of comfort and health
ascertained. And, l repeat, it is the
duty of government so to adjust the
regulation of its trade and commerce
as to secure it's own people whatever
benefits are to be derived from the
development of the material resources
of the country and the conversion of
its native raw material into useful
commodities.
A tariff adjusted to these aims
would protect every branch of indus
try, yet would not call into existence
a single monopoly. 1t would, like a
beneficent Providence, shed its bless
ings over all, and prevent the recur-
renee of such seasons of suffering,
depression and want as occurred be-
tween the close of the war and the
going into effect of the tariff of 1924
between the overthrow of protection
by the compromise act of 1888 and
the adoption of the tariff of 1912; or
again, such as followed the free trade
tariff of 1916, in spite of the fact that
our gold fields had in single decade
yielded 81, 100, 100000 Here was a
direct and unexpected gift from Prov
idence bestowed for the purpose of
proving, even to the willfully blind,
the truth that protective tariff is the
only defensive instrumentality known
to modern industrial warfare; and
that, by securing the prosperity of
all classes of the people, and thus
averting long seasons of idleness and
distress, it is, while apparently law
for the benefit of producers only, in
fact boon to those who neither SOW
nor reap, but are consumers only

The League Work.

There was meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the Republican Ma
tional League in New York on Sat-
urday. Sixteen states were repre-
sented, and the most encouraging re-
ports were received of the formative
work of the league. Minnesota re-
ported 200 clubs; New York, 100 ;
West Virginia, IA; Ohio, 100; Iowa,
10; Indiana, so; Michigan, 80; Hi
nois, So; Kansas, 40 Wisconsin, 80 (;
Maryland, 21; New Jersey, Sc; Ne
braska, Sc; Vermont, 70. Total,
1918.
In New York, "a other clubs have
been organized, but have not yet
formally joined the league. The
same is true of twenty-one new clubs
in Rhode Island, as well as of num-
Der in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
Maine. There are only four states
in which the work of organizing is
not going on.

Another big strike has begun, to
continue until railroad company ac-
cepts certain defined terms-which it
has several times declared that it will
not accept. Every strike is a public
misfortune in some aspect of another,
and thing which implies an unfortu-
nate collision of interests and an ugly
refusal to compromise. But strike
accepted and declared necessary by
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers is different from a good many
other strikes in some notable particu-
lars. We know, for instance, that
there are no mere dupes in the case.
In some of the greater strikes on
railroads and in the recent Reading
strike thousands of men were the vic
tins of disputes that followed upon
the effort to make the Knights of La
Dor supreme in the management of
certain great industries. But in this
strike ON the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroad the demand is for a
rate of remuneration that shall be
the same as that paid on other impor-
tant lines. In this case the men on
strike are apt to know just what they
want-and the men on the other side
to know just what they can yield {;
and that makes the case as fair as
any strike is ever likely to be.

Captured Flags.

Speaker Carlisle has laid before
the national house of representatives
a voluminous report from the secre-
tary of war in response to the Bou
telle resolution calling on him for the
history of the flags captured in the
war of the rebellion. The report
quotes the resolution in full, and then
traces the history of the disposition
of the captured flags. Accompany
ing the report are number of eXhib-
it's heretofore published, including
lists of re-captured Union flags deliv-
cred by the war department to state
governors and others, of confederate
flags delivered to certain parties on
application, the letter of the adjutant-
general suggesting the return of the
flags with the presidents approval,
the presidents revocation, and de-
scriptive list of the flags remaining in
the department as far as they can be
identified. The secretary states that
none of the flags have been out of
the war department during the pres
ent administration, but that some
were returned to the captors under
the administration of Secretary Stan
ton. The law of 1914, the secretary
says, applies to the return of flags
captured from foreign countries, and
that there is nothing to authorize the
return of flags captured in the United
States

Opportunity Lost.

If Senator Edmunds had seen his
way clear, four years ago, to have
entered heartily into the Blaine can
vass, what a grand opportunity Yer
mont would have had to-day to put
him forward as a candidate for the
presidency. We regret his course
for two reasons : First, that his party
suffered greatly from his course, and,
second, that he lost to himself and
to Vermont the great opportunity of
presenting a candidate in 1888, that
possesses, in himself, qualities, expe-
rience and ability such as not more
than one or two, at most, in his party
possess. We never have felt like
scolding Mr.. Edmunds for his GOODNESS
toward Mr.. Blaine, if he knew any,
thing positive against his character,
but it takes some stretch of charity
to forgive him, if his trouble was Ell
Their a pique or a thing begotten Of
envy.
