The court even went SO far as to ex-

There is no evidence to show that
Mrs. Warner committed fraud as
charged" said the court, when she did
not tell John Warner that negro blood

MERELY 10 GET IN ONo

The st. Louis Republic recently said:
If Secretary Taft's dream is ever to be-
come a reality he must forswear re-
publicanism and go over to that party
which, as a whole, is already in favor of
revision" The Republic said this in
commenting upon Mr.. Taft's declaration
that he was in favor of tariff revision
whenever the republican party "as a
whole" shall favor.
Replying to the Republic the St.
Louis Globe-Demecrat republican, says
eff the democratic party could be trust
ed to think and act as a whole on any
thing at all, its prospect of restoration
would be brighter than it is. But there
can be no doubt that it comes much
nearer wanting tariff revision as a whole
than the republican party does, or ever
will
The Globe Democrat also says sail
tariff revision is now associated in the
public mind with the democratic party
and that "even such an authority as
Secretary Taft can not force the republi-
a party" into dlsputing with the
democratic party the possession of that
reform-although of course the Globe
Democrat does not call it reform"
According, then, to the Globe-Demo-
crat MIR Taft's tariff revision declaration
is merely the old time republican plan
of "holding the word of promise to the
ear to break it to the hope.''

JUDGE TAFT has fired the opening gun
of his campaign as a presidential candi-
date and he appears openly as an as
pirant for the place. There is a differ
nee in men. Col. Bryan has never yet
gone before the people asking for the
nomination. He has worked earnestly
for what he thought was the best in
terests of the democratic party and the
nation, without regard to what effect it
might have upon his nomination, and
he is still the leader of the democratic
party. Whether he will be nominated
or not is a question that will not be
settled until the votes are counted, but
who will not appreciate the difference in
the dignity of the two men regarding
the greatest honor within the gift of the
American people? One seeks the nomi-
nation to crafty personal ambition; the
other let's the party seek the candidate
with unbounded faith in the ability of
the people to meet the demands imposed
by citizenship.

HE figures on railway passenger re-
ceipts in Minnesota, under the two cent
law, need be no surprise, except where
they show how successful the railroads
have been in defeating the attempt of
the legislature to reduce their revenues
by means of this act. Doubtless a por-
ton of the increased receipts is due to
the stimulus to travel, given by the
cheaper fares, but the largest item has
been the adjustment of excursion and
special rates. 1t was shown. during the
legislative consideration of the bill that
the average passenger fare was only
slightly in excess of two cents, under the
old law. The average was kept down by
lower charges for homeseekers, excur-
sionists and delegates to conventions
and similar special rates. When the
three cent fares were cut to two cents,
the roads more than recouped them.
selves by raising to two cents practically
every rate that had been formerly be-
low that figure. The extent to which
that was done is shown by the gains IN
passenger earnings, the two northern
roads and the st. Paul being the most
successful. What the passengers who
have paid two cents have gained, those
who formerly paid less have more than
made up.

In 1884 Theodore Roosevelt was a
radical free trader and one of the lead
ing members of the Free Trade League.
In 1904 he had progressed" until he
dubbed as "closet philosophers" those
who denounced the iniquities of the
protective tariff. A little later he cut
out of his message all reference to the
tariff because the "standpatters" Sc adj
vised, and for three years last past he
has utterly ignored the tariff in all of
his public and official u%tterances. At
this rate of progression" towards tariff
reform how long will it be ere the tariff
schedules are revised in the interests of
the people who foot the bills.

AWAKE TO OUR NEEDS.

That the Cavalier County immigration
association, composed wholly of citizens
of this county is awake to the present
needs and interests of the, county is
evidenced by the sale of farm lands they
have made during the past few days to
Mr.. Charles Lothspeich, an Illinois
farmer, The lands sold consist of what
is known as the ALERT & Winter farm.
two miles north of Langdon, and which
comprises 1,120 acres, a part of which
Mr.. Lothspeich purchased, and the
balance he leases for a term of years.
The feature of this sale which will prove
of interest to our readers IS the fact that
Mr. Lothspeich is the father of a family
of seventeen children, fourteen of whom
are boys. And ten of his sons are grown
and capable of handling feur-horse
teams. All parties to this sale are to be
congratulated. Mr.. Lothspeich because
he is securing a first class farm and
Messrs ALERT g. Winter in getting their
land into the hands of a man who knows
what good farming land is when he sees
it. The Cavalier County immigration
association should not he overlooked as 1t
is due more particularly to their efforts
that the section of Cavalier county
tributary to Langdon secures such a
worthy addition to our ever increasing
population, In fact the only person
likely to be found disagreeing is the
harvest hobo who will find no call for
his aid on the Lothspeich farm. To the
Cavalier Co. immigration Assn WE say
let the good work go on and Langdon's
business men will uphold your hands.
A few more such sales as you have made
within the past couple of months will
result in materially lessening the specul-
ators holdings and lands will be placed
in the hands of actual resident farmers
where they should be, and where nature
intended they should be.

JUST now the government is engaged
IL the task of "preserving and restoring
American Forest spending for that pur-
pose several millions of dollars a year.
At the same time it puts a premium on
the destruction of American forests in
the shape of a protective tariff duty of
50 per thousand feet on lumber. The
consumers pay the extra 80 per thou
sand feet, which hastens the total des-
truction of American forests, and at the
same time they foot the bills for the
forest reserve department. AS a case of
saving at the spigot and wasting at the
b%unghole this situation is deserving of
the premium for utter foolishness.
