SPALDING'S WHEAT RECORD.

Mr.. Spalding, who is one of the ac-
knowledged leaders of the insurgent
wing of the republican party in the
state, has a perfect right to seek office
at the hands of the public. That is
his right as an American citizen.
The public to whom he is appealing
for judgment in his case is entitled to
know the reasons why he should or
should not be entrusted in power.
There is no better way of determin-
ing whether or not a man is worthy
of the public confidence than his con-
duct in public life.
A few months ago, while Mr.. Spald-
ing was member of the lower branch
of congress, the wheat crop of the
northwest was bringing price which
enabled the farmers to make a fair
and reasonable profit on their farms
The price was more. however, than the
Minneapolis millers wanted to pay.

the behest Of the millers, conceived the

Washington, May 15.-The president

ter from Secretary Taft, accompanied
by numerous appendices. bearing on
the controverted question of the right
OF the 1sthmian canal commission to
purchase supplies abroad If they can
be secured cheaper than in America.
The president simply states that the
views expressed by Secretary Taft in
the affirmative have his full appro-
val. The letter of Secretary Taft to
the president relates to the purchase
OF dredges for use in the construction
OF the Panama canal.
Secretary Taft also refers to the
small quantity of cement which was
bought in a foreign market and says
investigation shows that the cement
was bought cheaper in foreign mar
ket than 1t could be bought at home.
He says an enormous amount Of
cement will have to be bought for the
canal and in view Of the lack Of speci-
fic instructions from congress as to
where the supplies shall be bought
and in view of the fact that Panama
is outside of the tariff wall surrounds
ing the United States. all other con-.
ditions as to quality being equal 1t is
the duty of the commission to buy
where 1t can buy the cheapest.

In and Out Of Harmony.
jamestown Daily Alert

Those who are interested in state
politics can not help but notice that
the moves of certain of the insurgent
leaders show some queer changes. In
Cass county Mr.. Spalding who was
formerly hand in glove with the state
and federal administration is now out
against it, after being defeated for a
denomination for third term. He is
the most active reformer in the state
along lines of high ideal government
In Barnes county Frank White,
twice governor as the candidate of
the regular organization of his party,
and defeated for third term nomi-
nation, is also out against his former
political friends and associates and is
a shouting insurgent. If there is any
crying need of reform, in state manage
ment it must have largely originated
in Gov. White's own administration
as Gov. Sarles has not been executive
as yet one term, and no charges of
maladministration are made against
his record. Referring to ex-governor
Whites new line up an article in the
Minneapolis Journal says:
"The ranking of White among the
insurgents is little peculiar, mas.
much as when he was governor he
worked in perfect harmony and accord
with the republican organization and
enjoyed two terms as governor as the
candidate of the organization. Indeed,
when he was making his fight for re-
nomination for a second term the fact
that he was the machine candidate was
charged against him in the same man
ner as it is now charged against re-
publican candidates for reelection and
his failure to attend the Helena con-
ference of governors was made the
basis of attacks.
I'm long address at the opening of
the campaign hedefended HIS course,
and the papers that are aligned with
the insurgents now defended him in
every possible manner. So that it is
felt his detection cannot be due to
conscious knowledge of maladminis-
tration, and for the two prior admin
istrations he was himself at the head
of state affairs"

All this talk about the Surrender"
of Mr. Roosevelt looks pretty cheap.
If he has surrendered" he has sur

Der last. Mr.. Bailey and Mr.. Rayner
and Mr.. LaFollette will have to lay
down their arms and surrender to that
same unconquerable power.
Senator Morgan gives the nub of the
whole matter:

only constitutional review"

selves as the perpetual janitors of the

FAILED TO MAKE AN ISSUE OF 1T.

1t was both amusing and instructive
to see the democrats of the senate get
into line with republican policy when
the vote was taken on the essential
point in the railway rate bill-the
court review offered by Mr.. Allison
and approved by the president. Only
three democrats-Morgan Pettus and
Clark of Alabama-voted against it,
Even LaFollette, the radical of radi-
calls, voted for it, although he had
voted with the democrats on every
other proposition
With the democratic party and La
Toilette in harmonious accord with
what the irresponsible agitators of the
country have been declaring was
railroad or corporation provision in
the bill, and with President Roosevelt
giving his hearty assent, there isn't
likely to be very much for the insur-
gent contingent in this state to talk
about hereafter.
After all that has been said and done
1t must be quite evident to thoughtful
people that republican policy is
pretty good thing for the country.

According to the Grand Forks Her.
aid there will be an entirely new class
of men in future legislatures. Those
of the past, according to the Herald,
were absolutely and wholly the chat
tells OF political bosses. This is an
interesting and flattering commentary
upon the men the people of the state
have heretofore elected to represent
them in the legislature. Members of
past legislatures will be pleased to
know the Herald's estimate of them
and of the work they have accom-
plished. AS a matter of fact the
members OF past legislatures in this
state have been clean, representative
citizens and typical OF the people of
the state, the Herald's wholesale con-
demnation to the contrary notwith-
standing. The only point in which
the majority of them have differed
from the editor of the Herald is that
they have been loyal to the republican
organization. The element of loyalty
to any cause has never entered into

cans of the senate as illustrated in the
democratic attempt to mislead the
president was a most miserable fall
ure. The scheme of Senators Tillman
and Bailey, through former Senator
Chandler, to induce the president to
abandon his party and allow the demo-
cracy to fix the rate bill. was full of
mischief. The authors of it simply
sought to dig a pit into which they
hoped the republican elephant would
walk. but the big G. O. P. animal was
not asleep.

ANNUAL GRAND JURY
TO BE DRAWN SOON
INVESTIGATION OF AFFAIRS
WILL THEN PROCEED
Several Sensations Are Promised-Of
the Four Warrants Issued Last
Year None Was Strong Enough to
Hold

On an order issued yesterday by
Judge Trask of department fohr of the
superior court, the annual grand jury
for Los Angeles county will be drawn
Tuesday morning in department four
and the thirty men to Investigate the
affairs of the county will proceed i'm
mediately with their work.
Last year the grand jury's report
was without feature, a general state
ment of the conditions of the county
Offices being made. OF the four war
rants issued last year by the grand
jury not one proved strong enough to
hold.
Two warrants were issued, one
against a member of the local police
force and the other against woman
with whom he had been living. Both
were arrested, but were later released
without trial.
A third warrant was issued against
a county officer whom it was alleged
compelled a saloon keeper to pay him
bribe money. That case also fell
through, as did minor case on a sim
liar warrant.
Then the grand jury dropped the
criminal matter and made examina-
'tions of county roads and institutions
But this year it is rumored there
will be several sensations. In the first
place, it is said that certain business
men VIII appear before the grand jury
and demand an investigation Of the re-
cent river bed franchise deal.
Other complaints have been an
nounced and general investigation OF
city and county business in all de-
partments will result.

SHRINERS VISIT THE BEACH
Spend Happy Day With Families on
Sand at Playa del
Raw

Playa del Rey, "the playground of
the king" proved a popular resort for
members of the Mystic Shrine and
their families yesterday.
Commencing at o'clock in the morn
ing, cars del Reyward were carrying
Shriners toward the old ocean, and
this kept up throughout the day, for 1t
was Shriners day at the beach.
Shriners day, while not attracting
the large crowds that were expected,
proved a success, and from sundown
until late in the evening happy parties
wended their way home after a happy
day. Walking and seeing the sights
proved the popular pastime for the
early comers until noon.
From every quarter, and seemingly
from the sands, sprang members of
the families, and a merry time was
enjoyed over the lunch baskets.
After luncheon and another stroll
many took TO the water and there dis
ported themselves to their own en-
joyment and the great delight of the
spectators.
Watching games and sports Of other
excursionlsts helped to fill In the time
while the committee men anxlously
awaited the appearance of Charles

man did not put in an appearance at

were casting a golden light over the

COUNTY ASSESSOR WARD
SEEKS A REELECTION
FORMALLY ANNOUNCES HIMSELF
A CANDIDATE
Preferment on His official Record 10
clalmed-county Recorder Hart-
we'll, Who Wanted Wards Place,
VIII Have a Fight on He Hands

Ben Ward, county assessor, finally
has ended the suspense so far as his
immediate political aspirations are
concerned by formally announcing
himself as a candidate for reelection
to his present office.
In an appeal to the voters of Los
Angeles county he says his candidacy
Will he along Independent lines and
bases his claims to preferment on his
record as assessor. He declares that
If reelected he will administer the
affairs of his office impartally and
that in making assessments rich and
poor will be treated alike.
This means that Hartwell, the pres
ent county recorder, who Is trying to
secure the nomination for county as
SCISSOR on the straight Republican
ticket, will have fight on his hands.
1t is generally conceded that Ward
is likely to make a whirlwind Gam
paign and that he can attract con-
siderable following. Hartwell also has
a good many friends in the county and
the chances are, therafO-H > that the
campaign will be a lively one.
