An Action On Usury

DR.. j. w. Vidal, of Fargo, N. D.,

interests, dues and fines charged by
the United States Savings and Loan
Co., of st. Paul, Minn., on a mort

by the doctor. The defendant has

that defendant only uses the building

Gus laws of this state, us q makeshift
or cover under which they seek to ex-
act eXorbitant rates of interest. In,
this state the statutes allow, aus u
penalty for usury. that the party. pay
ing may recover twice the amount of
the interest so paid. In this case
plaintiff alleges that he paid s1,204 as
interest, fines and dues. The amount
of legal interest on this loan the plain
tiff claims was but $685. and brings
suit to revover under the statute, the
sum of 800. This case will be of

People living in cities are
prone to believe that the increas
ing number of telelephone, tele-
graph and trolley wires increase
the danger from electric storms, :"
writes Edward w. Box in the
September Ladies' Home Jour-
nal. ''On the contrary, the maze
of wires is a protection, and les
sens the danger, since it shown
that where the wires attract the
electricity they hold it, and dis
charge it only at the end of the
wires in the central station. The
fact is that of the two hundred
lightning accidents every year
only an average of forty occur in
the cities. The trees in the
country are far greater danger;
they account for the proportion
of four cases in the country to
one in the city,

One of the most prominent
populists in the country is John
w. Breidenthal, of Kansas. He
is now state bank examiner be-
cause of ,his prominence in the
peoples party. In his last re.
port there is a lesson for extrem.
lists to ponder over. He says
among other things:
.'The surplus in the banks is
larger than. ever previously
known, and the cash in circula-
ton among the people seems un-
diminished. The banks cannot
loan their money and are worried
to know what to do with the
enormous deposits on which they
are paying four per cent interest.
At this time the people of the
state are engaged in moving an
enormous wheat crop and 5O,-
100000 bushels of last years
corn crop, and, if they do not
need cash to handle such an
enormous volume of business,
the banks are anxious to know
what they will need money for
later"

Mayor Patterson, of Bismarck,
has had Editor Moffet arrested
on the charge of criminal libel
for publishing a Plaindealer az
ticle criticising him. The spirit
of this is of course as farcial as
the rest of the dirty business,
but it may prove other than a
farce to Moffet. for everyone is
aware that if the case be tried at
Bismarcl ! his enemies could
easily fix up jury that would
visit upon him a worse. outrage
than any he has yet sustained.
No doubt that is the gangs in
tention and expectation as they
are clearly deter mined to get rid
of his plucly opposition. OF
course, did the gang possess any
attribute of manliness or any
semblance of a just cause, they
would have proceeded against
the paper that originally pub
lished the article-the Plaindeal-
er. And if either the Settler or
the Plaindealer has libelled Pat
terson any, then so has almost

There is more truth than poe
try in the following clipped from

The campaign cry of the popu-
list party last year was 'smore
money" Now, without an extra
dollar of any kind-gold. silver,
or paper-having been coined OF
printed for the occasion, there
will be no more scarcity of money
to buy our North Dakota wheat
at a dollar a bushel than there
was a year ago to pay for a
smaller crop at about forty-five
cents. The people will get ''more
money!" though neither banks
nor government has made it for
them.
