The Shelblna Democrat is
most emphatic in its coudemna
ton of the Monroe, Iynching.
The Democrat does well to
stand up for the enforce ment Of
law and order. But does the
Democrat always do so? When
some red handed murderer is
tried by the courts, and after
innumerable delays and change
of venues, is acquitted, does the
Democrat as vehemently de.
nounce the mis- carriage Of
justice as it has the work of the
Paris mob? The work of the
mob should be severely con
demned; SO also should the
work of the courts ometimes
Mobs will go out Of business
just so soou as the courts prove
adequate to the punishment of
crime a. d no sooner.-Centra liza

WEATHER AND WAGES
THE TWO IMPORTANT FACTORS
General Industrial Outlook Good
Except In the Coal
Fields.

New York, May 17.--R. G. Dun & Co.. s
weekly review of trade says weather and
wages continue the only seriously disturbing
factors in the business situation Excessive
moisture and low, temperature made the crop
outlook more uncertain, and much depends
on continuance of prosperity in the agri-
cultural sections. On the other hand, rec
ord-breaking distribution of pay in the Pitts
burg region accelerated the retail trade,
while resumption of wooden and other mills
added largely to the active force.
As1was indicated by weekly reports. pig
Iron production attained a new record for
the month of April at 1908, 1926 tons, and the
weekly capacity Of furnaces in blast on May
l, according to the Iron Age, was 352, O64
tons, far SURPRISING any previous high-water
marks. Such an enormous production would
suggest accumulation of supplies. but con-
sumption easily keeps pace, furnace stocks
showing decrease Of about 10000 tons during
April, to much the lowest point in recest
years. 5...
Quotations continue to vary widely, &C
cording to date of delivery, and there Is less
spot business owing to scapty supplies and
to the growing tendency of consumers to
place orders for future delivery. There is
now very little evidence of buyers holding
off for break.
Footwear manufacturers in the east re-
port an increased volume Of orders from
western jobbers but wholesalers in the prfn-
cipal eastern centers are placing few fall
contracts. Retailers are only sending mod
crate duplicate orders for summer goods, fair
supplies remaining of early purchases. Sole
leather is quiet. Hides again secured mod
crate advance in prices, both for domestic
and foreign. In the dry goods market there
is evidence Of Increased buying for fall and
next spring, but only small supplementary
orders for the present season. Cold weather
has retarded jobbing trade at many points
Domestic trade in cotton goods is steady, with
supplies in strong hands but export business
is dull. More liberal deliveries of wooler
goods are reported, showing that fewer looms
are idle.
| While it is generally agreed that there has
been much improvement in the winter whea
states since the opening of the month, prices
| became somewhat frmer upon the pubica
| ton of the official report of condition OF
| May l.
Failures for the week numbered 22S in thu
| United States, against III last year, and 1
in Canada, against 10 d year ago.

North Dakota.

With good weather from now on, the wheat
acreage in Walsh county may not be de-
creased more than 10 per cent The trouble
lies along the Red river at distances Of two
to ten miles from the stream. Although some
lands are even yet under water, day or
two of hot weather would work wonderful
change. Some farmers will seed wheat as
late as May %, while others will abandon
wheat if unable to plant it by May 20.
It is doubtful if the fax acreage in Cass
county will be as great as expected, as farm
ers fear the old land will be too weedy.. The
better the weather from now On the less
will be the fax acreage. Farmers unable
to get onto the land will put it largely into
barley when it finally does dry up.
The heaviest increase in corn is in Barnes
county, where the acreage will be about
double that of last year. In Davidson county
most of the new land will go to corn.
Burleigh county has had an influx Of Iowa
blood and much corn will go in. On the
Missouri slope on the east side OF the river
there will be considerable increase in fax.
Mclean county has had the same thrifty
Iowa and Illinois immigrants, and coming
from corn states they are inclined to favor
that cereal.
A large increase in barley will be made in
Nelson county Trail county will have g
per cent more barley.
But little oats or fax have been seeded
so far in Stutsman county, but a large in
crease is indicated.
| In Towner county nearly all the new break
| ing will go to fax.
| Flax will be sown in Ward county to ar
| extent not realized by one unfamiliar witt

Lake county is filling with new settlers
from the corn states of Illinois and Iowa and
an increased corn acreage will follow. Some
of the older settlers are also turning more to
corn and oats Douglas county will have at
least Is per cent more land under cultiva-
ton this year, yet the figures show slight
changes in the old grains, for the reason
that much of the new land will be sown to
millet and speltz. Day county has consider

Edmunds county farmers have put In more
speltz and are also experimenting in small
way with macaroni wheat. 'Sanborn county
shows the effect of the general tendency to

increase in both barley and rye.
Clark county is planting more corn for
feed, and in Yankton the high prices fol
beef has encouraged cattle raisers and corn
will be planted largely. Clay county will
also plant much corn, not alone for stock
but to market direct for the higher prices

LESS WHEAT AND
MORE COARSE GRAINS
Peculiar Conditions This Spring Have Marked
Effect on Division of Acreage-Report
From ".Journal" Observers All
Throug Oh the Northwest.

The northwest will have a bountiful
yield this year in crops of all kinds with
ordinarily favorable conditions from now
on. There will probably be lighter wheat
production. The outlook on the whole
differs this year very much from ordl-
nary conditions in this respect. that never
before has there been such general
Investigation, especially in grain. Farm
ers have gone in more for the coarse
grains, and many who last year planted
principally to one cereal have this season
put in two or three different grains, In
about equal divisions on their lands. Some
have abandoned wheat entirely Tor this
season in favor of corn. In consequence,
a marked change has come over the
northwest and there is every assurance
that the harvest will show coarse grain
yields greatly in excess OF any previously
known, while the cutting down of the
wheat acreage will be the most important
consideration in any future efforts to esti-
mate the wheat yield. Several things have
operated to bring about these changes:
First-The natural tendency toward diversi-
fed farming as the country becomes older
and more thickly populated. 5.
~Seeond-The increasing interest in stock
raising and dairying. "
Third-The southwestern corn drought OF
| last year, which carried all coarse grains to
high points, which they still maintain. max
ing an inducement to farmers to plant corn,
cats, barley or rye. .s-
| Fourth-An unusually backward spring and
| too much moisture in a portion of the most
| important territory.
The journal has returns from a
! large number of it's correspondents in the
| northwest, which show changes in acreage
| as follows, the figures being on the basis
of 100 for the last year acreage:
