has aroused the antagOnlSm OF some
of the leaders in the house of rep
r 4sentatives as we'll as of the adj
ministration who favor a reduction
of the duty on both tobacco and
sugarIimported to this country from
the Philippines. AS Wisconsin mem
Der of the Ways and Means COM
mittee, before which the bill was
considered. Congressman Babcock
exercised every possible influence
to prevent the measure being favor
ably reported. He is leading the
fight, in an organized effort to pre-
vent this legislation so damaging to
the tobacco and sugar beet interests
of farmers. The Importance of the
proposed legislation to the farmers
of the tobacco growing sections of
Wisconsin can be seen, when con-
sideration is given to the fact that
last year approximately $4,000, 900
pounds of tobacco was produced in
Wisconsin. At ten cents per pound,
IS, 400, 900 was distributed to the
farmers. The sugar beet produc-
ton gave the farmers of the state
81, 500, 600. and this industry can be
said to be in a process of establish
ment, contracts for next years
acreage indicating a largely in
creased production. These benefits
to the farmers, it would appear,
should show the necessity of sti-
mulating by every reasonable means
the condition surrounding tobacco
and sugar beet culture. Instead of
this, however, it is proposed to re-
duce the duty upon Philippine to-
bacco and sugar to within % per
cent. of the duty in the DingIey
tariff bill, and thus place the Wis
cons1n growers IN competition with
the oriental product grown at prices
paid to labor ranging from 16 to 25
cents per day. 1t is against such
labor competition that Congress-
man Babcock protests, knowing
that the farmers of this state can
not meet it and that the legislation.
If the measure becomes a law, will
have damaging influence upon the
tobacco and beet sugar industries.
In taking this stand, he is in full ao-
cord with the sentiment of his dis
trict and the state as we'll. Regard
less of political affiliation, the to-
bacco growers as we'll as sugar beet
farmers appreciate the forceful eff
forts he is making in their behalf.
The situation is so simple that it
seems no one should mistake the eff
feet OF the proposed legislation to
the Wisconsin farmers. While MANY
subterfuges are used to conceal
facts, it is fully apparent under the
new law that the production will be
! largely increased and come into
competition with the product of
Wisconsin farmers. The same con-
dltlon is true as to sugar, for the
product will conflict with that of
the sugar beet producers and pass
into the hands of the sugar refners
without benefting the consumer by
reducing the price. Congressman
Babcock's value to his district and
state is clearly seen and appreciated
by hose who have been mindful of
his efforts in their behalf. tits one
OF the times when the keen, bust
ness foresight and Judgment of
business man, familiar with bnsi-
ness conditions, is far better than
all the theories that can be spun to
explain results. The tobacco and
sugar beet producers desire to be
let alone without being placed un-
der the ban Of unfavorable legisla-
ton.

SWEDISH SPIES
Want to See What Military Work Is
Done In Norway.

A spy, who is reported by the author
tiles to be Swede, has been detected
in Fredrikshald, where he was particu-
larly interested in Fredriksten and
Hjelmkollen. At the latter place he
was seen by guard, who recognized
him as man who had been hanging
around the Notifications at Kongsvin-
ger last winter. When he was dis
covered he made his way to Swedish
territory. The guard was instructed to
keep watch of the man. Late at night
he appeared again in Norwegian terri
tory and was met by the guard. When
they separated the guard took the foot
path to Hjelmkollen and was not SUR
prised to meet the spy again. The
latter then disappeared.
The Swedes allege that Norway is
preparing to erect number Of fortif-
cations along Glommen, outside Of the
neutral zone established by the Karl
stad treaty, and to replace the fortified
points which were dismantled in ac-
cordance with the treaty. The Swedes
declared that these plans show a dis
trust Of Sweden and are uncalled for
when no preparations Of similar
nature are being made on the Swedish
side Of the border.

SCOUT VIRGINS IS TO
Be GIVEN " A PENSION
Senator Patterson Introduces Bill
to Pay Lone Survivor Of
Kit Carson Band.

Washington, March 81 Senator Pat
terson has introduced a bill for the re-
lief Of Oliver ?. Virgins, the veteran
scout, well known in Denver as the only
surviving member Of the famous band
headed by Kit Carson. The. bill pro-
vides that the sum Of $1,000 shall be
paid him for services rendered with Kit
Carson s scout company for eleven years
upon the frontier, during which time he
received no pay from the United States.
The bill also provides that Virgins
name shall be placed upon the pension
rolls, to receive a pension Of $40 a
month. For this purpose it was be-
lieved necessary for the war department
to place the name of Virgins upon the
roll as a soldier in Kit Carson's com
mand. Virgins served without pay as
sharpshooter prior to the Mexican war
and at the battle Of Monterey in the
Mexican war.

PRAYERS Of PENANCE
ARE SAID IN sweden
PROTECTION FROM THE NATIONS
DEGRADATION rs ASKED.
Priests of Stockholm Appear to Believe
that War Would Have Been Holy
Cause in 19O5-Paper Condemns the
Sentiment Aroused by the Meetings.

Stockholm recently had week Of
prayer with political tinge. A series
of meetings was arranged in the differ
ent churches by the clergy Of Stockholm
for the purpose of considering the mis-
deeds and sins, for which penance
should be done, and from which the
people should be converted in order to
arise from the disorder and helpless
ness SO strikingly shown in the events
of 1905.
At the meeting held by the Gustaf
Friedrich congregation, Pastor Guss-
lander declared that the people Of
Sweden should pray to be protected
from the degradation and Indifference
Into which the nation had sunk, and for
which war seemed to be a necessary
bloodletting. The remarks made a
deep impression on the congregation
and after several members had spoken
In the same vein the congregation on
Bonded knee united in prayer and sang
q psalm Of penance.
+ Gothenburgs Misunderstanding declares
ithat these meetings create bad impress
osion, as it appears that the sole ground
ofor the great sorrow is that Sweden
bl;id not go to war with Norway last
hummer. Therein lies the so-called
ishogradation. That no war resulted
IS not due to brotherly love and wis
.ttsos4n, but from weakness and indiffer-
ence due to sins. The warlike priests
seem to consider that war would have
been holy cause to which the people
had been untrue. The paper is not
willing to accept such doctrine and
insists that if the developments in
Sweden were due to unrighteousness
1.-The country could wish for more of the
same kind.

theless he did not neglect the theory Of
law and contributed many valuable
papers, which gave him fame abroad as
well as at home &$H
He was particularly prominent In
the impeachment of Premier Selmer, in
which he discharged the somewhat
thankless task of defending the min
istry, which he did in the most brilliant
manner. This was in lSS3-S4, and the
signal ability he showed in these pro-
ceedings stamped him as the leader Of
the Norwegian bar.
Johannes Bergh was born at Aasnes
in SOLDER, Feb. 10, 1887. He prepared
for law and was admitted to practice
before the supreme court in 1862. Dur
ing his entire career as jurist he had
been closely associated with various
legal publications. In 1894 he was
decorated with the Order of st. Olaf
for his scientific contributions. He re-
tired from active practice about year
ago.

Shipments of the County.

Ransom county is now shipping every
year to market over $2,0O0,OO0 worth of
produce, and the quality is gaining
every year. This vast sum Of money is
going directly to the farmers, and they
are spending it literally. The building
that is now going on or that is con.
tracted for this year exceeds in amount
that Of the entire past five years. This
is true not only Of the agricultural
districts, but of the towns as well.
In common with most North Dakota
counties, Ransom pays much attention
to it's public schools, and every section
of the county is well equipped to edu-
cate its children. The school buildings
are handsome and we'll built, and q
high grade of teachers is maintained. In
the matter of churches about all the
principal denominations are represent
ed, and many Of them have handsome
church edifces. There are no idle men
and thrift and prosperity are apparent
on every hand.

that they were without means, but said
that they had received aid from their
better-situated countrymen and would
gladly work if they could procure en-
ployment. Most of them declared that
