FOR GOOD ROADS.

The Mondell bill, which is being
practically held up in the lower house
of congress by Speaker Cannon, pro-
cides among other things, for an ap.
preparation of five thousand dollars
annually to the agricultural college of
this state for the promotion of good
roads.
Strenuous efforts are being made by
the people Of this state to bring suf-
ficient pressure to bear upon the
speaker to have him permit the bill
to come to a vote.
If this should be done, there is no
question but that 1t would at once be-
come law, for majority of both
branches are strongly in favor of its
passage. 1t would pass the senate,
where the legislative power of the
members has not been usurped by less
than one hundredth of their number.
it would pass without delay.
Whether or not the influence men
toned will have any effect upon the
speaker remains to be seen. But in
asmuch as his personal wishes have
been his legislative guide in the past,
and as he is opposed to the bill, there
would seem to be little hope.
1t is we'll, however, that the public
should know the character and pur-
pose Of the legislation that is being
thwarted by these methods.
The advantages of good roads to a
state largely agricultural are inestim-
able. The crops of the farms must be
wagoned to transportation lines, and
because of the enormous quantity,
this is a heavy task.
Farmers, like all other conservative
business men, are looking after the
small expenses and by their avoid
ance are increasing the farm profits.

DIR. WHEELER'S LETTER.

There are few men who have earned
or held higher place in the estima-
ton of our people than does DR..
Wheeler. Born in June, 1853, he grad
uated from the University OF Michi-
gan in 1877, and from the college of
physicians and surgeons of New York
in 1881, since which time he has re-
sided in Grand Forks. He is the dean
of his profession in the state, and in
his practice he is called into all por-
lions of it. Under a bluff and gruff
exterior, is hidden tender and SYM
pathetic heart, and his deeds of kind
ness and professional skill gratutious-
ly extended among the poor have been
sedulously concealed and minimized
by him. He does not know the name
OF fear and he carries a magnificent
gold watch presented him by the First
National bank of Mortified, Mimi, for
his signal bravery in the repulse of
the Younger brothers raid in 1876.
1t is to be regretted that personal
difficulties have marred the relations
Of, two men in whom our people take
such pride as John Dinnie and DR..
Wheeler. A dozen years ago there was
law suit between these gentlemen,
with new trials, second trials, appeals,
etc., as final result of which Mr.. Din
ME was successful. DR.. Wheeler then
opposed Mr.. Dinnie for reelection, in
1902 and was defeated, and the feel
ing thus engendered and aroused leads
him in his otherwise most excellent
article concerning the filter in this
mornings Herald to interject extrane-
GUS matter which has been long ago
settled adversely to him.
We join with the doctor, however,
in the wish and hope that the pres.

roads, team is only able to move one

same team on good roads would move

it is easy to see that the cost of mar
keting is increased one-fourth.
This saving of expense would ma
terially increase the profits from the
farm, and would be an enormous saw
ing to the people engaged in agricul-
tural pursuits.
1t is fact, too, that money enough
is expended annually on the roads of
almost any community to put them
in first-class condition if the work
were done in a scientific manner.
In the early history of railroad
building, the grading was done by
means of shovels and wheelbarrows,
and the cost Of grading the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad-the first one of i'm
portance in the country-cost the
enormous sum of nine dollars lineal
foot. Now the work is done by means
of machinery and at a cost which
when compared with that of the first
roads built, is insignificant
In road building we are about where
the railroads were half century ago.
Because the roads will always be
more or less of public enterprise,
it is not to be expected that men will
be developed who will be masters of
the business as they are in railroad
building and similar enterprises.
Men cannot be educated for the
building OF roads. 1t need not be
equal to course in civil engineering.

patriotic. rather than partisan, in
great emergency.
1t is not new role. Nearly forty
years ago the senate tried Andy John
son for bad manners on impeachment
charges preferred by the house of
representatives. There was more
clamor against Johnson then than
there Is clamor against the railroads
now. and Johnson was guilty of bad
manners, too; but the senate, after
mature deliberation, refused verdict
of guilty because seven eminent re-
publican senator's, some of them
among the greatest names in the his
tory Of American craftsmanship. held
that the bad manners of which John
son was guilty did not constitute an
offense grave enough to warrent im-
parchment.
Again, sixteen years ago, the house
of representatives passed force bill
making it unconstitutional for certain
southern states to give democratic
majorities. The senate 'deliberated"
on that, and came to the conclusion
that it would not be we'll to put the
cotton states under the rule of the
bayonet, for it was evident that the
measure would require the aid of the
army, if enforced; and so the senate
quietly shelved Mr.. Lodges election
law, and the speech Mr.. William f.
Chandler made the other day is vim
dication of the senate in its action of
1890.
The senate is a very able body; it is
a deliberate body, and here is found
legislative wisdom, if it be anywhere;

THE RETIREMENT OF BABCOCK.

Congressman Henry Weeks Bah
cock of Wisconsin is to retire from
the craftsmanship of the republican
congressional campaign committee
after serving the party faithfully and
with success through several very
heated campaigns. 1t will now be
necessary for the republicans to cast
about for his successor and the man
who successfully fills his place under
similar conditions as those which fire.
Quently confronted Babcock. must be
no novice at the same or lacking in
political acumen.
The voluntary retirement of Mr..
Babcock and the rather turbulent
waters which have at times not far
distant in the past threatened his po-
litical craft, gives rise to some con-
lecture and brings to mind the name
of that very important factor in Wis
consin politics, that man of destiny,
Robert NJ. LaFollette A glance at the
political history of Wisconsin and the
career of these two men; the we'll
known antagonism each entertains for
the other, the close call Babcocll had
to defeat during the last congressional
campaign when followers of LaFol-
lette went into his district, these
things lend certain significance to
his retirement from the management
OF the congressional campaigns of his
writing On the wall, and does he fear
| the influence of LaFollette? Does he
| care to return to congress, and if so,
does he realize that his entire time
and efforts may be required to secure
his reelection? To those who have
watched his career, such conclusions
seem fairly we'll founded.
Mr. Babcock was a candidate for the
United States senate at the time Long
Jones succeeded in landing that toga
for Quarles. 1t is we'll known that it
is one of his lifelong ambitions to be-
come 4 member of the upper house
and equally certain that those ambi-
tons will fail so long as LaFollette
maintains his hold upon the political
situation in his state
Another aspiration of Mr.. Babcock
was to become speaker of the house,
but Uncle Joe Cannon had an eye on
that. and until Mr.. Cannon can see
his way clear to slip into seat in the
senate he will hold the speakership
within his grasp.
The retirement of Mr.. Babcock sig
nifies either that he fears LaFollette
will devote his entire attention to his
personal campaign in the future or
that he has decided tor give up fight
which is becoming, in his case, very
serious and uncertain one.
Babcock is rich and can do without
further political honors, particularly
when they come as high as his future
ones are likely to.

SENATORIAL DELIBERATION.

There Is considerable clamor against
the action of the United States senate
in celebrating on the railroad rate
bill; but elaboration is what the SEN
ate was made for. AS body, it is
"the sober second thought" of the
legislature Of the republic. If one
will take the pains to read the latest
senatorial discussions of the railroad
rate proposition, he will be struck
with the able manner with which Mr..
Bailey and Mr.. Spooner debated the
court review suggestion.
Here we find what the layman never
knew. and what, it is manifest, the
house of representatives never
thought of-the difference between the
general judicial power" of a court
and the Jurisdiction" of court. To
the ordinary man, they are the same
thing, but they are widely different to
the great legal lights of the senate,
and there is room for radical differ
ence of opinion on the subject, and
the question would have supplied a
theme that might well have challeng-
ed all the opulent wisdom of Webster
and all the consummate logic of Cal
houn.
The senate is earnestly seeking to
arrive at a correct decision of this
vexed constitutional, legal, economic,
and political question, and in that
body, for the moment, politics is sunk
in statecraft; and that is another
thing the senate was made for-to he

Some one of the apparently all too
few sane contributors to the editorial
columns of the Plaindealer doesn't
seem to particularly fancy the editor
ial conduct of the Evening Times.
While this is, no doubt, to be very
much regretted, it is, by no means to
be unexpected. It. is no part of the
intention of the Evening Times to at
tempt to in anywise please the mis-
guided coterie of individuals who were
buncoed-as they must shortly learn
to their cost-into bolstering up the
discredited and decadent Plaindealer
by going to the financial relief of it's
grossly incompetent would-be editor,
who for some years past has sue
ceeded, by the most reprehensible
means, in issuing sheet that, on it's
own showing, is nothing more or less
than a gross libel on Journalism, and
as such has been, and is; the by-word
and laughing stock of all of its in
telligent readers as well as the news
papers of the entire northwest. True
1t is that some strong terms and ex-
pressions have occasionally been en-
ployed, whenever it has become imper-
atively necessary to refer to that
feculent and disreputable travesty on
newspaper or its irresponsible SOL
disant editor in these columns; but
what will you? When one con1e-
sends to the discussion of a MOTOR
iously unclean subject or thing, dis
tasteful and disagreeable though the
task may prove, the only possible
way in which to do so Is to designate
the same by its proper name regard
less of the proprieties. and in this
instance that is precisely what the
Evening Times has done and will con-
tinue to do.
