A COMMUNICATION
Letter From B. G. Skulason
Anent the Judge Engerud
Controversy.

To the Editor: In last nights is
sue of The Evening Times you COM
mented editorially on the explanation
OF Judge Engerud on his attitude to-
ward the candidacy of Judge Knauf
for the supreme bench. Without in
tending to enter into controversy
with the editor of a newspaper over
this matter, l. nevertheless, ask leave
to express my opinion regarding 1t
and to disagree with The Evening
Times. know that you will be glad
to permit me as private citizen to
express my views, as the motto of
your paper Is "a square deal for ALL
Judge Engerud, as we'll as every other
citizen, is entitled to such deal.
In discussing Judge Engerud's attl-
tude We must confine ourselves to his
statement of his reasons for his con-
duct. To use technical phrase, we
must not go outside of the record.
Judge Engerud gives two reasons for
his opposition to Judge Knauf and his
refusal to sit on the bench with him.
First: That the man is wholly unfit
for the position. Second: That his
nomination was piece of political
barter.
We must assume that he knows
whereof he speaks when he says that
Judge knauf is unfit. Certainly no
one could be in better position than
judge before whom an attorney
practices to form an estimate of the
ability and general competency of such
attorney. While Judge Knaufs prac-
tice in the supreme court has not been
extensive, still he has had several
cases there since Judge Engerud went
on the bench, and presumably Judge
Engerud's acquaintance with him is
not confined to that period or to SUI
preme court practice. Assuming, then,
as We must, since there is no evidence
to the contrary, that Judge Knauf is
wholly unfit for the place, and that
Judge Engerud knows this, is he not
justified in doing everything in his
power to protect the court by oppos-
ing the election of such a man? Our
supreme court is the highest tribunal
in our commonwealth. 1t is the most
dignified and most exalted institution
In our state. A position upon it is
more honorable than any other public
Office within the power of the people
to confer citizen. 1t should be the
aim of every citizen to maintain it's
standing, if possible. Is not Judge
Engerud, then. discharging a high
duty, when, at the possible sacrifice
Of his own position on that court, he
defends the court? am not now pass
ing upon the qualifications of Judge
Knauf because I am not in a posi-.
ton to do SO, having no personal
knowledge of the man or of his com
potency. But, were l convinced of his
lack of fitness, should deem it my
solemn duty to oppose him, and were
| In Judge Engerud's position l should
take the same course that he has taken
If, indeed, had the moral courage h
has displayed when it came to the
test.
His second reason for opposing
Judge Knauf is that his nomination
was the result of political deal. Is
that sufficient reason? Under our
convention system of nominating men
for public Office almost every NOM
ination is the result of political bar
ter. Under that vicious system it can
not be otherwise. When the conven-
ton is managed, not by the majority

ASKING TOO MUCH.

1t is all very we'll for reformers to
aim high, to hitch their wagons to a
star and be satisfied with nothing
short of unqualified and dazzling sue
cess, says the New York Tribune. But
there must be moderation in all
things, and we think the rescue
parties now headed toward Buffalo
are beginning to show a certain
tendency to overdo the work of polit-
ical salvage. Two weeks ago the
volunteers who were organizing to
save the democratic party seemed to
feel that they would be lucky to float
anything ashore through the breakers.
Democratic principles had gone by the
board and democratic hopes of victory
with them. All that was left to rescue
was the democratic emblem. If the
emblem could be preserved inviolate
there might still remain some chance
of democratic unification and regen-
Grafton.
Mr.. Macks unexpected accession to
the ranks of the emblem rescuers
seems, however, to have quickened
their courage and enlarged their am
billions. They are now planning re-
lief operations on large scale. While
Mr.. Hearst's nomination impended
they were willing to make any
sacrifices and welcome any assistance
in repelling the Hearst raid and pre-
venting the appropriation of the demo-
cratic hallmark by the managers of
the independence league. Now that
the Hearst pressure has been relaxed
and the Hearst panic a little abated,
one group in the camp of the saviors
is thinking of undertaking further
Job of salvage at the expense of the
other group. If Hearst is really
eliminated-as the Albany rescurers
and their sympathizers believe him to
be-what is the situation which will
arise at Buffalo? A democratic can
didate for Governor must be named
and a democratic platform written
by these democratic leaders: Mr..
Murphy. Mr.. McCarren, Mr.. Corners,
Mr. Mcclure and Mr.. McCabe. They
can save the democratic emblem un-
doubtedly. But is there any certainty
that when they get through the last
state of the rescued and regenerated
democratic party will not be as hope
less as the first?

.The College Widow

Now for the laugh that fingers, for
THE College Widow" the most hearty
and wholesome of George AIDES COM
edies, comes to the Metropolitan the
ter very soon. Chronic disinclina-
ton to be amused is the one excuse
possible to the man who sees this
play and fails to wax enthusiastic.
1t is asserted, and probaly is fullest
truth, that 1.-The College Widow" has
been witnessed by more people than
any other play of equal age, and one
who has seen it does not usually rest
content until he has marshalled his
friends for a return visit. Henry w.
Savage is responsible for the present
production, which measn that Mr..
AIDES play will have the benefit of
every accessory that liberal mango
ment may provide.

AS a suggestion in behalf of politi-
cal consistency, how would it do for
the democratic party to insert a plank
in its platform demanding that the
United States withdraw entirely from
Cuban affairs. Just few months
ago Mr. Bryan advocated independ-
ence for the Philippines, which are
farther from the ability to govern
themselves than the Cubans were.

THE WORLDS MARKET BASKET.

ing in the local markets around the
twenty-seven cents per pound mark
The conditions are exceptional, it is
true, in that at the present time there
is not only limited supply obtain
able while the large number of
extra men employed on the farms
during the threshing season re-
quires larger supply for home con-
sumption than at other seasons of the
year.
But the conditions themselves prov.
that one of the greatest opportunities
for the Investigation of farming with
profit to the farmer is in the improve
ment of the dairy and the making of
dairy products. Whether it pays to
turn the great wheat area over to the
growing of beef cattle is not essential
in considering the advantages OF dairy
ing this state. 1t might be neces-
sary when the dairyman was selecting
the type of cattle he Observation-Disclosures
they should be the special dairy type
or the dual purpose cattle. But
neither would be failure so far as
the work of dairying is concerned.
The question of handling the milk
supply, the care of the COWS in win
ter and the question of keeping extra
help on the farm are all matters which
have been threshed over in farmers
institutes until they are threadbare.
But in all these discussions the vital
point is overlooked. The results of
the work of old dairymen are given to
show what can be done. The methods
of starting are never considered. The
point is that the men who are already
engaged in the dairy business do not
need any advice as to the best meth
DDS Of conducting the business. 1t is
the man who is contemplating engag-
ing in it that should be helped. To him
1t Is an untried problem and he would
not be human did he not make some
mistakes. He becomes discouraged
in time and returns to his wheat and
flax
The state can never develop the
dairy business unless it is done by
adding more dairymen. 1t must be
increased by beginners. These are
the men who need the advice and in
formation. They can not learn how
to begin the work by listening to the
stories of what fancy cows did in a
world test nor from what a herd of
specially selected ones would do un-
der abnormal conditions.
The dairying business is one of
the coming industries of the state,
but it must be begun at the bottom.
The money which would flow into the
state from this line of industry il it
were developed to the extent which
it would stand would rival that OF the
wheat crop. And it is just as import
ant, for butter and the other products
of the dairy are as much necessaries
of life as bread.
The revenue from this source would
not be effected by drouth nor subject
to the ravages of diseases which
would destroy the entire income. Il
is one of the things which in time
will be largely instrumental in max
ing North Dakota not only the bread
basket of the world but the market /
basket as we'll.

Coxey's army, the tramp and free

democratic party to administer the
national government should vote for
members of the state senate who will

conditions are history to every one
except the democrats. and they prefer
not to have them mentioned.
