The Kind of Men Needed.

The great want Of this age is men;
men who are honest and sound from
center to circumference, true to the
hearts core; men who will condemn
wrong in friend or foe, in themselves
as we'll as others; men whose con-
sciences are as steady as the needle
to the pole; men who would stand
for the right if the heavens totter
and the earth reels; men who can
toll the truth and look the world
and the devil right in the eye; men
who never fag nor finch; men who
have courage without shouting to
bring it; men to whom the current
of everlasting life runs still and
deep and strong; men who know
their place and fill it; men who will
not lie; men who are willing to earn
what they eat and perform what
they are paid for doing.

Curious Mode Of Catching Turtles.
A curious mode of catching turtles
is practiced in the West Indies. It
consists in attaching u ring and line
to the tail of species Of sucker fish
known as the remora. The live fish is
then thrown overheard and Immediate
ly makes for the first turtle he can
spy, to which he attaches himself very
firmly by means Of sucking appa-
ratus arranged at the top of his head.
Once attached to the turtle, SO firm is
his grip that the fisherman on drawing
the line brings home both turtle and
the sucker.

Wall Street and the Republican Party

Wall Street and the Republican Party.
1t cannot be too clearly understood
that the Hanna movement" is not,
in one sense, a Republican move
ment at all, but deeply laid and
strongly supported scheme on the
part Of the great corporations to
capture the Republican National
Convention. Except as promoted by
these nonpartisan agents Of the
corporations, there has been little
if any discernible popular senti-
ment anywhere among genuine
Republicans for the nomina-
ton of any Republican except
President Roosevelt. This is true
to SO marked an extent that even il
the Hanna combination should be
able to dictate the votes of major
ity of the delegates to the Chicago
convention, it is not at all likely
that any other candidate than the
President could be nominated. The
convention would not run the risk
of bringing upon the Republican
party the most overwhelming de
feat of its history merely for the
sake Of giving the syndicates the
satisfaction of preventing Mr.
Roosevelt's nomination. But the
genuine Republicans Of the country
will prefer to be in control Of their
own convention.
And they are likely to succeed
althoughit was evident last month
thatthey would have to fight vigor
ously to save the party from its in
sidious foes, Nothing could have

Gig Boom for the New Wheat in Nortt
Dakota.

Gig 6oom TOR the New wheat IN North
3 Dakota.
Macaroni wheat has received an.
other big boom in this state zs re-
suit Of this discovery that it is practi-
cally immune from the black rust. The
state is being invaded by the rlst at
the rate of about two miles north,7ard
daily. Fields are reported almost ru-
ined as far north as the Great North
ern main line west, though the dam
age is not serious at this date north
of the Northern Pacific main line.
Much of the wheat south of that terri
tory will yield fine crop, but many
. fields are being plowed and no effort
will be made to harvest others. 5t
Fife wheat has suffered more than
any other kind from the rust. The
blue stem has been injured less se-
vere1y, while in many sections the
;nacaroni wheat seems to have been
absolutely immune.
This, coupled with the fact that in.
creased yields are always secured
from macaroni, has given that species
"a big boost, and farmers who have not
seeded that kind of grain this year ale
already planning large crops Of it an
other year.

company to recover damages in the
sum of $4,000. The case was tried at
the December term of the district

awarded to the plaintiff. In the spring

adequate remuneration for the same

Fundamental Section of Fire Policy
Form Held Invalid.
Judge Glaspell Of the. district court
at jamestown, IN q decision handed
down IN the case of Leu against the
Comm Mutual Insurance com
pany, holds invalid that section Of the
policy issued by the company which
provides that an estimate Of the actual
cash value OF the property shall be
made in the event Of disagreement
and that an appraisal shall be had.
This paragraph Is made q part Of all
North Dakota standard fire insurance
policies, issued by old line and mutual
companies, and the Importance o: the
decision Of Judge Glaspell is far-reach-
ing. !. y ~. 1. IS
The action was brought by Leu, a
merchant at Cooperstown, to recover
$500, the face Of policy carried by
him on a stock Of merchandise. The
complainant merely alleged compli-
ance with the terms Of the contract
and failed to allege a determination
Of the amount by appraisement. A
demurrer to this complaint was inter-
posed on the theory. that the policy re-
quires such ascertainment or ap-
praisal as condition precedent to
suit, and that suit must be brought
upon the ascertainment or appraisal,
or that facts should be pleaded excus.
ing the failure thereof.
Judge Glaspell overruled the de.
murrer, and stated that he agreed with
the defendants contention as to the
construction to be given the provisions
cited, but also held that the contract
was void
The opinion of the court is based on
sections 1926 and 1929 of the Revised
Codes, the first of which provides that
every stipulation or condition in con-
tract by which any party thereto is re.
stricted from enforcing his rights un.
der the contract by the usual legal
proceedings in the ordinary tribunals,
or which limits the time within which
he may thus enforce his rights, is
void.
Section 1929 provides that agree.
ment to submit controversy to arbi
tration cannot be specifically enforced
The court held that section 1929 in.
dictated the policy of the law, and that
under the express provisions of sec
ton 1925 the contract SO far as it re
guires arbitration is void.
The decision of Judge Glaspell in
declaring void one of the fundamental
sections of the North Dakota form OF
