THE TRUST BUSTER.
Cortelyou Failed to Run Down the
Beef Combine.

Cortelyou Failed to Run Down the
Beef Combine.
So it appears that Secretary Cortel-
YOU. whose department Of commerce
and labor was especially designated to
investigate the trusts, combines and
corporations, has resigned to take up
the labor of chairman of the Republic
an national committee without having
discovered one bad trust. After his
arduous labors at trust hunting his
new occupation will feel like child's
play, and his appeals to trust mag
mates for campaign funds should re-
ceive the greatest consideration and
response. When congress some months
ago ordered Secretary Cortelyou to run
down the beef combine to its LAIR it
was heralded by the Republican Or
cans as the Inauguration Of q new era
of cheaper meat in the near future.
But the housewives Of the United
States after months of patient waiting
and intense economy find to their dis
NAV that the beef combine has only
few days ago raised the price of beef
instead of lowering it.
If the late Senator Hanna was still
ut the head of Republican affairs the
conclusion would at once be arrived at
that the beef combine had come
down" handsomely and in return was
to have free rein to plumber the beef
buyer. But with such keen trust bust
ars as President Roosevelt and Cortel-
you on the track Of the octopus, who
would dare to hint at such compro-
mise with iniquity?
Yet the uncomfortable fact remains
that the beef combine and the hun
dreds of other combinations are COM
placently plundering the consumers in
n way that leads to the belief they feel
secure from publicity or from any &C.
tion the administration may take. AS
the Republican orators, so many OF
whom have lately spoken. all declare
that high prices make for prosperity,
the Republican policy may be to "as-
sess" the trusts all they will stand and
in return allow them to keep up the
increased cost of living to the top
notch. Then with the Republican SPELL
binders declaring that we are oil pros
porous some fools may believe 1t, al
though they have hard work to fit their
expenses with their incomes.

Scandinavian sangerfest.

The great Scandinavian sangerfest
was held at Grand Forks last week.
The city was handsomely decorated
for the occasion. The formal pro-
ceedings opened with a reception for
visitors in Elks' hall, at which an adj
dress of welcome was delivered by
Mayor Duis, and another by Hon. j.
A. Sorely, on behalf Of the festival
committee Judge Hassell of Grand
Forks, president of the association, re-
sponded. At noon occurred the grand
parade of the societies, at which Hon.
W. Hildahl of Sioux Falls acted as
marshal. A rehearsal was held in the
exposition hall at 8 p. NJ; at 8, the
first grand concert, and at II, the
singers "Sexa" at headquarters. The
feature of the second day, in addition
to the rehearsals and evening con-
cert, was carriage drive around the
city. On Saturday morning the dele
gate convention was held. and routine
business transacted, and in the after.
noon the members and their friends
had picnic on the grounds of the
Town and Country club.

STAND PAT POLICY.
Republican Platform Dictated I
the Trust Magnate.

Republican Platform Dictated by
the Trust Magnate.
The Republican convention has per
formed its part, which had been map
ped out for it by the oligarchy that
runs the Republican party. The can
didates and platform were selected
and concocted in Washington, and the
delegates were about as useful in
shaping events as fifth wheel on q
coach. Not voice was raised against
the stand pat programme. All was
ominously unanimous. The trust mag
mates dictated the programme and
their emissaries, present in large num-
bers, approved and applauded.
The voters who indorse the candi-
dates and platform of the Republican
party at the polls next November will
stamp with their approval all that it
stands for. The voters that cast Re
publican ballot declare in favor of
trust high prices and allowing the
trusts and combines to continue to sell
their products cheaper to foreigners
than to the people Of the United
States. In spite of the extraordinary
high prices and the small If any in
crease in wages, those who vote the
Republican ticket will say they are
satisfied to "let we'll enough alone"
and, in the words Of Mark Hanna, vote
to continue to let well enough alone"
Nor is that all they will indorse. II
they are farmers they will approve the
Republican protection policy that does
not protect them unless they grow
sugar cane or sugar beets or some
kinds of tobacco. The cereal grower
or stock raiser has no real protection
If they are artisans or laborers they
agree to stand pat on the insecure
present wages and the certainty Of the
continued high cost Of living that now
prevails. The highest Republican au-
thor1ty on such matters, Secretary
Shaw, declared the Republican policy
to be high prices, and no power on
earth can keep up wages, even at their
present rate, with factories and mills
shutting down, railroads discharging
men and the power Of the people to
purchase declining.
If they are clerks or others with
stated incomes that do not fluctuate
with prices, but stand pat, whether the
cost of living is high or low, they vote
to continue the Republican trust DOM
ination that boosts prices at their ex-
penSe.

THEIR EYES OPENED.
Republican Voters of Wfsconsin
Learn Something.

Learn Something.
The Republican voter in Wisconsin
must be getting bad opinion of the
leaders Of both factions into which his
party is split If he believes the evil
dence produced by both sides to prove
their opponents are utterly unreliable.
This proof of the total political de-
pravity Of Postmaster General Payne,
Chairman Babcock and Senators
spooner and Quarles is no news to
those who have been long upon the
watchtower and observed the trend Of
these leaders toward the corporations
and combines. The common people are
to them but sheep for the shearing and
geese for the plucking. That the Re
publican voters Of Wisconsin-and 9TH
err states, for that matter-have so long
shut their eyes and voted the straight
ticket has been n wonder to political
observers. How many Of these voters
will "take to the woods" or cut the
ticket now their eyes are fully opened
remains to be seen, but there should
be enough to bury the trust party IN
Wisconsin and elsewhere beyond hope
of resuscitation and new deal be IN
0uRurNted.

Philippine Soldier Loses Money.

Warner Strawberry, a discharged
Philippine soldier, lost his discharge
papers and some express money or
ders in a lavatory on the Northern
Pacific between Fargo and Tower
City. He notified the officials The
next day a farmer attempted to cash
the money orders and they we're taken
up. He said that he sold q horse and
buggy to stranger and took the ex-
press order in payment and gave some
cash in exchange. He is out his
horse and buggy and about $50 in
money It is supposed some hobo
along the track found the papers and
bilked the farmer.

Prosecutor is Assaulted.

Attorney Samuel Radcliffe when
leaving the city hall at Larimore at
night was assaulted by being hit
twice in the face and dragged from
the sidewalk. Mr.. Radcliffe had been
interested in prosecutions for alleged
violation of the prohibition laws, and
it was after the adjournment of a
case. just as the crowd was leaving
the city hall that the assault was
made. Probably twenty people we're
within few feet of Radcliffe when he
was assaulted. Radcliffe was not
severely injured. No clue to the man
making the assault has been secured

Result Of Too Much Rain.

Crops in the Red River valley prop

Outside the valley conditions are mag

aged by early fall frosts. The wealth

many petitions from Providence theatre
gocrs for such a production. "Romeo

Gether with the undeniable fact that no
stock company Of today Is more qualified
to give a Shakespearean play adequately
than the Albee Company, will make next

seats for the week at that theatre.
