grateful. The writer refers to the attack
made upon us by the Chicago "Skandi-

Mr. Lincoln. We replied to this last

that Mr.. Lincoln really said what was
attributed to him. Mr.. Berget adds the

l wish you success in your noble efforts
to raise your fellow beings to higher
level than they at present occupy. 1t is
work that ought to raise the worker to
the position Of public benefactor and a
God-like man in the eyes of the people
when 1t is done as effectually as you do
it; but instead of that you are kicked

A FEW SIMPLE RULES-READ AND BE
GOVERNED ACCORDINGLY.

We are so crowded with letters. many OF
them excellent and most interesting, that.
to give them all a hearing, we are con-
strained to quote the following from Sound
Money.-Ed Rep.
Write on one side of paper, beginning
the first page about the middle Of the sheet.
Be brief
Always sign your name to your article,
though you may write over a non de plume.
Be brief.
Do not try to cover the whole range of
reform In one letter.
Be brief and to the point.
Letters of 300 words on one point, properly
condensed, will cover almost any subject.
Be brief
Shoot at the mark-not in the air. Aim
at something and hit it.
Be brief. Boil down and. quit when you
are done.
Again we say, be brief.
In other words We say-be brief.
The Forum will hereafter be under the
charge OF our assistant editor. Mr.. Francis
n. Stacy, and all letters intended for that
department will be. usual directed to
The Representative. but have Mr.. Stacy S
name in the corner. They will thus be kept

SERIOUS CHARGES.

(Mr. e. B. Ford, of Mortified, over his
own name, makes some serious charges
against Farmers Fire Insurance Com
pany and Hail Insurance Company, do
ing business in the counties OF Rice,
Goodhue, and Dakota, and claims to have
been victimized by them.
We know nothing of the truth Of these
allegations. but If they are half true the
farmers should be warned and protected.
We will be glad to publish any explana-
ton or defence of the companies. Ed.
Rep)
To whom it may concern:
| wish to warn the unsuspecting farm
ers living in the counties of Rice, Good
hue, and Dakota against two men OF this
city, one by the name of B. F. Woodman,
and the other - Maccullock.
These two fellows are agents for what
is known as the "Montedidio Farmers
Fire Insurance Company" In connec-
ton with this concern is the Farmers
Cooperative Hail Insurance Company"
These two concerns believe from the
Investigations made are two Of the big
geat frauds in the Northwest. They send
out lot Of unprincipled and lying
agents, and very nearly the whole thing
connected with the two friends CD of the
farmers is one cOnglOmeratiOn OF mis-
representations.
For instance, Mr. Maccullock, last year
together with raft of "understrappers,
under his instructiOns,-he getting his
instruction from headquarter,-
sented that the highest assessment ever
made by their company for loss from
hail was 15c an acre, while 1t had been as
low as &c; when it is shown that the

Thus they claim there are no salaried
officers when it Is shown that large
share-almost half-of the receipts is
paid out in good salaries; while 1t is
shown that hundreds of dollars are paid
-($3 a day in many cases)-for liars
and sharks to boom the concern, and
notes from the farmers at 16 per cent.
Livery rigs are paid for at SO day at the
expense of the farmers, too.
To show how cute these fellows are,
their notes read: "On the 18th day of
October, 1925, for value received prom
Use to pay to the order of the Farmers
Cooperative Hail Association $14, with
interest at the rate of per cent, from
date If paid at or before maturity no
interest will be charged
All of the notes are dated from June
and July. Every famer agrees to pay
ION October 15." man named Cleggett
is sent out with instructions to collect
interest from June or July, most of them
paying it, not noticing the cute way in
which the note is drawn up and signed
by them.
The total loss of the company last
year was nearly $4,000 and to meet this
80 cents an acre was assessed, while SO
cents was the limit, with 5000 members.
It is plain to be seen that these 5000
members had nearly $4,000 taken from
them.
All of the direct charges have made

The Self-Denias That Will be Necessary in the
Future-Brother Poore Indignant.
Our excellent friend, Hamlin V. Poore,
writes us private letter in which he
says:
l must say when a man comes to me
who chews plug after plug of tobacco,
and says he owes for the Representative
and cannot pay it; l feel like saying,
Damn it," with big D, to think of a
poor devil struggling to exist on 100
acres of land, chewing his life away, and
claims to want paper and cannot con-
troll his habit enought to take smaller
chews and not quite so often, in that way
saving enOught to pay for paper that
will do him more good If he reads and
heeds it's teachings, than all the tobacco
he can chew in five life times. How
little he seems to realize the self denials
does not take place soon to enable a
farmer to reap more of the fruits Of his
labor. l am ready to give up sugar, tea
and coffee and every other unnecessary
luxury at this time to help savemy home.
When home is gone then self denial will
do me but little good.
There should be 10000 men in this
state ready at this time to contribute

COURT NOTES OF SPECIAL TERM,
APRIL q.
District court adjourned last Saturday,
until Monday, June 29th Only court
cases will be tried at that time.
In the case OF the state against E. r.

general term, Judge Caldwell imposed a
fine of $50 and costs, amounting to
$13880 There are two other cases pend-
ing against Mr.. Smith,

was plaintiff and Gustave Gesche defend
ant, a jury returned a verdict of $40 for
plaintiff.
The case of Thos. Ullam VS., Chas.
Green, the plaintiff claimed $175. judy
ment for 1855.
There was some surprises as to the out
come Of several cases. 'Tis ever thus.
Smith was tried (by proxy at the
spring term of court, Judge Caldwell hav-
ing ruled that it was not necessary for
him to be present, and was found guilty
| of receiving deposits, after his Bank of

The Hon. e. r. Smith for quarter of
a century was the recognized Republican

years, from 1890 to 1894 mis-represented

state senate. In connection with his son
he conducted the Bank of LIE Sueur" and
busted ON July Z, 1893, with $33O, OOO
deposits and $1,000 bushels of wheat
storage tickets.
OF the wheat the farmers managed to
obtain one-half and Of the deposits 29
per cent have been paid. At three differ
ent terms of court the grand juries
while Smith was yet here" wrangled
with the question of having him indicted
but could find no evidence under which ia
indict him, and the good man was not
