"~HE PREDICTION recently
credited to President Had
Il ley of Yale that the United
States in 20 years would
have an cmperor--a forecast which, IT,
is fair to add. he repudiates-has this
basis of truth: The tendency in gov
eminent is steadily toward centralza-
lion. Our executive officers, in city,
county and state as we'll as in the ma
tion arc acquiring increased power.
Just as the administrative power of
The heads of our great industries ana
commercial enterprises is growing in
response to the public's appreciate
that in such growth lies increased ef-
tc:ency, so is the administrative power
of the heads of our political corpora
,ions growing rapidly. The twentieth
century is plainly to be the century
par excellence of centralized authority,
with this fundamental difference from
the absolutism OF old: The authority
thus centralized proceeds from, and
not in spite of. the people. The heads
uf the business trusts are chosen by
vote of the stockholders The heads
OF the political trusts are chosen by
vote of tne taxpayers. l'ut once
chosen, they are given large discretion

A GOOD CROP OUTLOOK
Crops Throughout the County Doin!!
Nicely-ln indications promis-
ing For Large Yields.

The weather the past week has
been very favorable for the grow
ing crops which have held their
own splendidly through the recent
hot spell. and indications for a
bumper crop aresyery promising.
Although the weather last week
and the first part Of this week has
. been the hottest on record TIE
crops have not been damaged tl
the least. Wheat is now rapidly
maturing and with the heavy rain
of last Tuesday evening and the
cool weather since, it has some
what recuperated and the kernel
is now filling out nicly, which
means No. | hard wheat on the
market this fall. Oats, especially
in this locality, has luxurant
growth and will be an exception
ally good. crop. Reports from
various parts of the county con-
firms the theory that the oat crop
thissyear will excel any for the
past. ten, providing the present
weather conditions continue to
prevail. Some oat fields in this
section Lave grown to the height
of from four to six feet, being very.
thick and with a splendid for
nation for a good sound berry.
The flax crop generally, is max
lug good headway and growing,
nicely while corn could not be ins-s
proved upon. Take it all i'll ALL
the crop conditions at present are
splendid, while many anticipate a
bumper crop.
1t is expected harvesting will be
in full blast in about two weeks
and OIL account of the extra de
mand for labcrsome difficulty may
be experienced i'll securing help
enough to care for the biz; crops
this fall which now seems d real
ity. Farmers should not delay in
arranging for help.
The weather for haying has been
ideal and the work is being Wig
erously pushed. An abundance
Of hay is in evidence everywhere
and Of an excellent quality. Farm,
ers are striving to complete hay

ors to avoid a predicament in case
of scarcity of harvest hands.
Help is in demand everywhere
and good wages paid, especially
in Mclean county.

Will Retain. Their Present Boundaries

2 I'd, 4. ,- o. 4 =
In answer to letter. of A. w.
Movi1s, an attorney at law at
Bowbells. regarding the proposed
organi: atom Of M uatraille county,
Governor White says that lie can
have nothing to do with the pro-
posed organization of Mountraille
county, until the matter Of the
county boundaries east Of the
river has been settled by the su-
preme court. Governor Whites
letter is as follows:
Replying to your favor Of the
24th ult., I beg to state that I have
had this matter under con-
sideration for: some days and have
arrived at the following conculs-
ions:
First, that the act Of 1891, or
ganizing and defining the boun-
.daries Of. Ward and other coun-
ties in your sdction of the state,
has never been questioned in our
supreme court and they have
never set aside the law as being
unconstitutional.
Second, the supreme court be-
ing the only body competent to
set aside a statute, the statute not
having been set aside by them is
in force and effect. It may be
voidable but is not void until SO
pronounced by this act.
Therefore [ arrive at this con-
clusion: that what was once the
unorganizad countyof Monntraille
was made a part of W ard comfy
by the act Of 1891 and upon the
face Of it il now a part Of that
county. The same grounds exsist
for setting this statute aside as
pertained IN the statue organizing
Stark, Bilings and other counties
west of the river, and which i statute
enacted in 1885 u was ST aside BY
our uprerne court under the de-
eiisiion of & So, AMI a more IRE ecent
