democratic candidate for president.
That is exactly the result of the poll
cy outlined for the republican party
by the Herald That the masses of
that party-the great body OF indie
pendent and sturdy voters who have
made both the party and its leaders
will refuse to follow the black flag
and go over to the democrats in
body, does not reduce the the pur-
pose 1.-THE of hair.
In fact the plan of knitting the tick
ct will endanger the congressional as
we'll as the state candidates. for the
policy of the Herald is to have a SUI
ficient number of republicans vote the
straight democratic ticket that the
present majority will be reduced so
low that in the future few
men-disappointed. disgruntled and
repudiated-can hold club over the
voters of the state and dictate to them
what policy they shall pursue, else
these men will turn the state over to
the democratic party and contribute
the states power in national politics
to the election of a democratic presi-
dent and democratic congress.
This can only be accomplished by
reducing the vote on the entire repub-
lican ticket. Once the plan is in
augurated, where is it to stop? Who
is to say how many republicans shall
vote the democratic ticket to just pre-
serve a bare majority? Who can say
but that once the policy is adopted, it
! will not turn the entire state, con-
gressional and many of the county
tickets, over to the political enemy?

Hrre I. a New Graft.

One enters business house. makes
small purchase, offers a $40 bill,
gets his change and departs. Then
his confederate enters, makes a pur-
chase and hands the clerk 81 BILL
When his change comes he insists
that the bill was a ten. and asks that
the proprietor be called. when the
clerk declares that it was a one dol
lar bill. The CRATER tells the pro-
prietor that the thing can be settled
easily. He says that the $40 bill was
all the money he had. A short time

THE JONES LOSS.

The farmers of the northwest are
beginning to realize that the estimate
of 100,000,000 bushels as the present
wheat crop in this state which was
given out by Expert Jones of the Com
mercial West has cost them thousands.
of dollars. 1t will be remembered that
Immediately after the publication of
the Jones report the Evening Times
announced that it was merely one of
the circumstances in the policy being
at that time pursued by the wheat
ring to keep down the price of wheat,
and called attention to the fact that
the crop would not pass the 60,000,00O
bushel limit ii it even reached that
point.
II the actual conditions of the crop
at the time of the Jones story had
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1906-10-01

been given out and the wheat market
been free from the influences of the
crowd who. because of their deals in
the wheat pit, We're financially inter-
ested in keeping the price of the arti-
Gle down to the lowest point possible.
the present price of wheat would be at
least ten cents per bushel more than
it now is. The farmers have. so TO
speak, paid the bill. Ten cents pei
bushel more for wheat would have
been material profit for the average
farmer this year when the yield was
below the average and when the cost
OF harvesting was ii anything in adj
vance of that of previous years.
There is but one remedy for the
elimination of this evil. That is the
control of the supply by the growers
themselves and the regulation of the
same so that when the price is so low
that the growing of wheat is loss to
the farmer it can be held until the
imperative demand for the product
forces the price upward to point
which will give the grower reason
able profit.
Just how this is to be accomplished
is one OF the unsolved problems Of the
commercial world. But that it will be
solved in manner profitable to those
interested in it is certain. The plan
OF holding the crops in the hands OF
the farmers has been regarded as the
most probable method Of accomplish
ing the desired end.
The development OF additional mar
kets for the consumption of the wheat
products has been proposed. and this
has been the idea of President Hill in
seeking market in the orient. But
against all these must be counted the
| development of new wheat fields in
the Canadian northwest and the
| crowding OF the harvests of that coun-
try upon the market in competition
with those of the already developed
hard wheat regions.
1t does not look altogether encour-
aging to the wheat growers to realize
that the products of million farms in
Canada are to be brought into compe-
tition with those of the United States
especially when a few men are able
to so manipulate the latter that the
price is reduced from fifteen to TWEEN.
ty-five per cent below what it should
be. II is true that at the present time
these products only compete in the
markets Of the world. But if by any
political chance the democratic party
should come into power in congress
that party will at once proceed to
remove the tariff on wheat and allow
the Canadian product to compete with
the North Dakota product in our own
mills. Wheat growers in North la.
kota should give some attention tC
political conditions, for one of theil
greatest dangers lies in the success OF
the democratic party.

Special Correspondence to The Evening
Timea.
Valley City. N. D.. Oct. saturday
about noon one OF the most shocking
accidents in the history OF Barnes
county occurred on the farm of VIM.
Ayers. some twelve miles north of the
city. which resulted in the death of
Charles Ford this morning about six
O'Clock. Ford was running a thresh-
ing engine. the property of John AID
erman. VIM. Ayers and other farmers
in that locality. when his clothing
caught ON fire and he burned to DEATH
In some manner fire started under
the engine and the flames rolled up
about the boiler and threatened 1t
with serious injury. Ford mounted
the footboard to get the engine out of
the way. when his clothing caught on
fire. His overalls and jacket We're
more or less saturated with greas.
and in a moment he was enveloped in
the flames. He lost his head entirely
and started to run. An attempt was
made to come to his relief by the
other members of the crew. but he ran
so fast they could not catch him and
after running some distance he drop
ped down. His clothing was all burn
ed away and his body was black
ened mass. The funeral will occu.
tomorrow at the Getchell church at
O'Clock and the interment will be
made in the Woodbine cemetery in
this city.
Mr.. Ford is we'll known farmer
highly respected throughout the coun-
ty. He leaves wife in delicate con-
, dition OF health and two children.

UNMAskED AT LAST.

The Sunday issue of the Grand Forks
Herald announced that it would sup
port part at least of the democratic
state ticket and do all in its power to
reduce the present republican major
lty In the state to the point where by
the smallest effort, the democrats NAV
come into political power in the state
and secure two seats in each branch
of the national legislature.
The position of the Herald is no
surprise to the Evening Times, which
predicted this course on the part of
the Herald before the jamestown con.
vention, and to hundreds of people
throughout the state who knew tina,
at heart the Herald was democratic
The unmasking of the sheet is the
only new feature. The explanation Of
the Herald for its fight against the re.
publican party in the state is as fol-
lows:
las the Herald has stated on a pre-
vious occasion, the republican majori-
ties of past years are too large for the
good of the party or the state"
This is certainly a peculiar course
of reasoning. When the men who are
republican from principle have afte.
years OF fighting succeeded in build
ing up party majority which is suf-
ficient to insure the perpetuation of
republican principles in congress, and
the electoral vote for a republican
president, the Herald. posing as a re-
publican sheet and securing its pres
tige as newspaper by it's political
deception and fraud, openly seeks to
destroy the work of the party by turn
ing the majority over to the demo-
Gratis. This will certainly be relished
by the hundreds of republicans
throughout the state who have labor
ed for years in the interests of the
party and to build up the majority
which the Herald now claims is
dangerous to the welfare of the state
and who have never sought reward
for their efforts save in the success of
the principles they advocated.
The Herald is giving the democratic
medicine to the public in broken doses
well knowing that an open declara-
ton of its support of the democratic
ticket would discredit it sufficiently
to destroy all the nefarious plans
which are prepared for the defeat of
the republican ticket.
If it can succeed in reducing the
republican majority in the state this
year to point where democratic sue
cess is possible, it will be easy to con-
tinue the fight two years hence and
turn the republican representation in
congress over to the democrats and
deliver the state electoral vote to the

JUDICIAL INDISCRETlON.

In signed statement explaining
the reasons for his absence from the
session of the supreme court at Fargo
Judge Engerud passes upon the quail
fications of Judge Knauf as entirely
insufficient for judge of the supreme
court of this state. Naturally there
will be difference of opinion through
the state as to Judge Engerud's right,
as judge of the court, to pass upon
the qualifications of another judge
chosen by convention of republicans
and by the same kind of convention
by which Judge Engerud was chosen.
But aside from the opinion of Judge
Engerud as to the qualifications of
Judge Knauf would it not seem that
believing as Judge Engerud does that
the court is in danger of a lowering
of its high standard, it was his espe-
cial duty in this time of stress, to
have attended all sessions of the court
and by his presence have treasured
the people of the state and convinced
them that the judges of the court are
at all times responsive to their duty
under the law and that If it was in
the power of any judge to prevent, no
lowering Of the high standard of the
court would be permitted. We be-
ieve Judge Morgan is as keenly alive
to his duties as any officer of the state
and he found no necessity to absent
himself from stated session of the
court. 1t was stated some time ago
that Judge Engerud's objection to
Judge knauf was personal and for
that reason he would not sit with him.
We are glad to learn now that there
was nothing personal in the objection
and that the question of personal un-
fitness does not enter into the con-
troversy 1t seems difficult to believe,
however, that Judge Engerud absent
ed himself from term of supreme
court because he believed one of the
judges chosen to sit with him was not
we'll qualified from a legal standpoint.
1t would seem that this would have
been the greater reason for his pres
ence and for the benefit of his SUPER
Tor experience and knowledge.-Bis-
marck Tribune.

Has Sold Feet"
tKulm Messenger.)

Judge Engerud seems to be getting
cold feet" He now announces that
he will defer his resignation until
after election-will wait to see if
Judge Knauf is elected. After cleo
ton he will no doubt defer his resig-
nation indefinitely. Judge Engerud
has dug his own political grave in this
state. and when his present term ex-
pires it is not likely that he will ever
have cause to resign from any public
position. His brand of politics does
not take we'll with the voters.

The open letter to Judge Engerud
which appears in another column of
this issue of the Evening Times from
B. l.. Weld of Cleveland, will bear a
careful and conscientious reading.
1t Is not the expression of the venom
of bitter partisan but the words
of candid and fair man speaking for
neighbor whom he has known for a
quarter of century. His opinion IL
worth much to those who have not
had such opportunities for observing
the life and character of Judge Knauf.
