Withdrawn from the following posts as
soon as it can be made practicable by the
department commanders: Fort McGin-
mis-, Montana; Fort Bridger, Wyoming;
Fort Sidney, Nebraska; Fort Crawford,
Colorado; Little Rock barracks, Arkan-
sas, and Forts Mcdowell, Thomas and
Verde, Arizona. Signal Officer Sher-
wood, formerly of Bismarck, has been on
duty at Fort Thomas for nearly a year
past. A separation of the military and
weather branches of this service is
again agitated by congress, with some
show for success. Fort Abraham Lin
colnis still in the balance and it is hoped
the unwise policy Of its abandonment
will not Lbe adopted. A military post
possessing such excellent facilities for
transportation ought to be made a dis
tributing point for military supplies and
a rendezvous for troops. Fort Lincoln

strategic point than Fort Smelling,

Few people of this state know how
near Hon. M. N. johnson came to being
governor. In his testimony before the
senate investigating committee Mr.. John
son said that Delegate Larcey of the
Stutsman county delegation came to him,
after the attempt to nominate Gen. Allen
had failed, and wanted him to desert
Miller and go for Tyler-said they would
make him lieutenant governor. "Finally
they came to me-" says johnson, land
said that if [ would run in that conven-
ton against Miller they would nominate
me for governor. I told them that I did
not have money enough to run a cam
paign, to which they replied that I could
plan the campaign and they would foot
the bills, get speakers from the east,
have barbacues and a big time; so they
overcame that objection. I then told
them there was only one other reason
why I could not go into it and that was
that I had taken part in the Miller eau
u and had made a speech urging par
ties to stand by faithfully and support
Miller. But for that speech I think I
should have accepted their Offer"

The appointment of Hon. E. A. Will
Jams as surveyor-general of North Da-
kota, is one especially pleasing to his
Missouri slope friends whose interests
he has so faithfully championed in the
legislative halls for so many years. It
will also give satisfaction generally in
North Dakota, for no one was more loyal
to North Dakota's interests away back
in the legislatures that assembled in
Yankton, when the representatives from
the northern portion of the territory we're
few in number, than MI. Williams. He
was a member of the legislature that pro-
vided for and located the public institu-
tions of North Dakota, and speaker of
the house in that memorable session
which effected the removal of the capital
to the northern portion of the state. He
was a member of the territorial legisla-
ture away back in 1928, when Burleigh
was a part of Buffalo county which ex-
tended away down below where Pierre
now is located and including Stutsman
county on the east-when the only coun-
ties organized in all North Dakota were
those of Pembina-which then included
all the eastern portion of North Dakota
and Buffalo, now Burleigh. It is a just
recognition to an old timer, who assisted
in building the first railroad in North
Dakota and whose law single was one
of the first hung out in Bismarck.

The demand for a modification of the
tariff is so general in the western agri-
cultural states that unless it is done by
the administra ion now in power many
republican strongholds will become
doubtful. 1t is not the principle of pro-
lection the farmer republicans Of the
west intend to desert, but when values
of farm PRODUCES are shrinking year after
year, mortgages on farm lands are piline
up, and poor becoming poorer, it is not
with feelings OF complete satisfaction
that the farmer contemplates the growth
of cities, the erection of .monstrous
buildings-monuments ofSwealth and
the rich become richer. The western
farmer is not a free trader, but be is for a
modification Of the tarif-for expert
menting, not philosophizing or theoriz-
ing. He wants to sac a new policy tried.
He wants relief, and if the fault lies with
the tariff he wants to know it. The re-

"H1DE-BoUND" New England is not
pleased with a duty on raw hides. It
comes in conflict with one of her leading
manufacturing interests and is not the
kind of protection" she is always reach
ing out for. AS the Chicago News says,
lit is a fight between the shoemakers
and the cowboys, and the cowboys are
getting the best of it." The west has
o%utgrown the narrow, hide bound system
of protecting all classes and industries
except the producers, and while it is
willing to sail under an evenly adjusted
protection banner, it has grown tired of
the monotonous "Ill take the turkey and
you take the crow, or you take the crow
and I'll take the turkey" division.

IT is said Mr.. J. L. Cotton, of Burling-
ton, up in Ward county, on the Great
Northern, who was instrumental in hav-
ing the act passed establishing maximum
coal rates, recently loaded a car of Ignite
and made a tender of the freight to the
agent at Minot, who refused to take it,
saying that the company refused to haul
freight at the rates fixed by the legisla-
ture. The penalty fixed in the law for
failure to comply is $25 for each days
delay. That car is still there, and Cotton
says he is perfectly satisied-couldn't
make $25 a day any easier.
