The secretary Of the North Dakota
Referendum League, who is in Bismarck
watching legislation in which the league
is directly interested in, writes Senator
Chas. w. Plain letter regarding Senate
Bill No. 70, which he introduced last
week, and which if enacted as law OF
this state will be effective against gang
ism. railroad and other corrupt legisla-
ton. The letter which Senator Plain
received shows that his bill meets with
hearty endorsement from the league
and will have it's support irrespective of
party lines:
81 am very glad to see that you in
troduced referendum bill, Monday,
and you will have hearty support of our
| League in securing its passage. From
an extensive correspondence throughout
the state I have reason to believe that
we will have no organized opposition to
meet but our chief obstacle will be the

THE BINDING Tw,NE QUESTION.

Before the seed time has begun the
farmers and dealers of the state have
commenced to worry over the price OF
binding irvine. Few dealers have a
took of this necessary commodity and
many, according to report, have none.
t is stated that The Des Moines
branch of the International Harvester
Company denies quotations to dealers
Ind this has given strength to the fear
that prices for binding Irvine will go
beyond the high water mark Of any
previous year.
Last year prices were high, but the
ltrong demand cleaned up the output.
At that time the Mccormick and Deer
ing companies, the two largest manu-
lecturers of twine, were in a way COM
petitors., Since then, these, with three
other companies, have effected merger
which practically has the Irvine situa-
ton at it's mercy. Today the dealers
are denied prices, but are assured that
The price shall be the lowest current
price at the tins of delivery.
With the scarcity of farm help con-
lidered it is useless for the farmer to
contemplate return TIC hand binding
and the overthrow of the trust by re-
!llsal to use its product. The grain will
ripen and the farmer pay the price for
The Irvine needed to garner it. He will
pay the freight as he has done before.
There is no other way cut.
Minnesota, however, conducts Irvine
mandatory in her penitentiary, the
results of which as reported have been
highly favorable. It has resulted in
considerable saving to the consumer
and has been profitable to the state.
Perhaps Iowa, and other states, might

commodities manufactured from iron"
The oft repealed charge made by the
opposition to Mr. Cummins that he is
not at one with the national leaders of
his party upon the question of tariffs
is thoroughly disposed of by the Courier.
Quoting from a recent interview with
Senator Cullom, who therein ayoWed
his own belief that some of the tariff
schedules are too high and that a plan
by which the duties on such articles
might be lowered would bring years of
contentment with existing schedules,
the Courier discovers that Careful
reading OF Governor Cummins' speech
indicates that he and Senator Cullom
are talking along the same lines
The Cummins explanation of the
shelter plank also meets the approval
of the Courier which says: This doc
trine will meet with the approval of the
people generally. AT the same time it
will be noted that this does not mean
what has been claimed heretofore, viz,
the use of the tariff club to punish large
corporations to the ruin or extinction
of the small corporation or the individ-
ual operator"
Concluding. the Courier continues:
1T certainly looks as if Governor Cum
Minis had not visited Washington in
vain and that he has returned home
with a determination to clear the at.
mosphere as to his heretofore alleged
utterances on the tariff question, and
that his purpose is to stand in full
accord with the republican party upon
this great question. If so, we'll and
good, and all the people will say,
Amen"
Governor Cummins' tariff utterances
are and have been public property thru
the public prints. In his speech to the
Polk county republicans he reaffirmed
his published statements on the ques-
ton OF tariff revision. He repudiated
no expressed opinion. took no step
backward. He made his stand squarely
on the platform framed by Iowa repub-
leans In state convention assembled.
II Governor Cummins was right at Des
Moines he has been right all the time.
II his speech at Des Moines is straight
if it is in line With the
policies of Roosevelt and Shelby NJ.
Cullom, who shall question the repub-
licanism of Mr.. Cummins or that of tie
platform upon which he stands?

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW

The writer has been much interested

the eastern papers From that writer's
standpoint all of the success that has
come to our prominent men can be
traced to their energeti. qualities. Ma
poleon headed the list and Roosevelt
Is close second. There's something in
1t. One thing seemed to be forgotten
by the writer of this energetic article,
and that was the waste, the daily and
hourly waste of INSTRUCTED force and
energy. All around us are the wrecks
from this cause. 1t Is as tho the big To-
connective had left the rails. And fire.

his force at the time of the wreck, the
result Of misdirection, f!iss himself I'M
able again during his lifetime to ac-
quire force sufficient for other VEN
lures But this screed Is of another
kind of force or energy. 1t will treat
of the unusual force or energy shown
by a few-a very few-criminals after
their release from the penitentiary. AS
rule these men return to liberty and
society whipped, Respondent, with no
ambition, and rarely make an attempt
to take q place with rivals in the race
for wealth or position. There Is one
case on record where man once in the
penitentiary became governor of anoth-
er state. Another whese the convict
became the owner of whole system
of city railways, but as rule the for
mer convicts are only zoo glad to re-
main in obscurity and make living
for themselves and families in the most
humble manner

In Iowa qualified to sit in Judgment on

lted Ottumwa Courier may justly lay
claim to such right. If any republican
newspaper in the state may speak with
authoriay and with strict impartiality
review Governor Cummins' speech be-
lore the Polk county republican con-
yention, the Courier, which has never
held a brief for either the Cummins

lone. 1t has carefully and critically
examined the governors famous speech
and fails to find within it sin against
republican tradition or unfaith-
fitness to republican principle.

In manner that makes 1t straight re-

the tariff principle than does Governor
Cummins in. the following paragraph:
.We are all profound believers

withstanding the statement OF an

venture to say that protection is
not only practically sound. but
theo retically sound. 1t is not only
indicated by the experience of
our people, but can be defended by
the highest and most exact process

has written the brightest and most
glowing pages in the history OF the
republic. 1t has contributed more
to the honor and renown of the
American nation, than any other
policy known to our institutions.
God made us foremost in natural
resources; protection has made us
also foremost in actual production.
1t has enabled us to pay American
wages, reward capital with an An1-

are too high, the Courier plainly and
uneuuivocally asserts that the ina
