THIEVES FROM CHOICE.
Criminals, as Rule, Steal Because
They Don't Want to Work. ass>


The theorists say that men are driv
en- to crime by poverty and want, but
the theorists are not always right.
There are no doubt some cases Of men
stealing or swindling to get bread, but
they are very few. Not one criminal
in a hundred In this country pliers,
plays burglar or highwayman because
he's hungry, but because he is a Grim
inal from choice and would rather
steal than work. He knows perfectly
well that nobody ever made a fortune
or even a decent living by picking
pockets or breaking into houses or rob
bling people on the streets. He knows,
too, that it is only question of time
when the penitentiary gates will open
for him, and yet he chooses the uncer-
talnties Of criminal life and idleness
In preference to steady work at good
wages. Good times with the rest of
the world signify nothing to the GRIM
inal, except that the man he robs is
likely to have a, little more money In
his pockets. No matter how prosper
GUS the rest of the world may be, its
criminals are always hard up. When
a sneak thief makes haul or foot
pad gets hold of somebody's roll the
first idea is to spend it. 1t goes at
cards, in dives, groggeries, anywhere,
to anybody that wants it, and, no mat
ter how large the haul, in a little
while it is all gone and another job
must be done to get more. General
prosperity means nothing to the rogue.
The devil pays low wages on small
contracts.-St Louis Globe-Democrat.

A BIG fraud IS
BROUGHT TO LIGHT
MiLLERS IN TWIN CITIES HAVE
BEEN MIXING DURUM WHEAT
WITH HEARD WHEAT AND
~, FLOUR SOLD AS HARD
FLOUR

Fargo Forum: w c. Macfadden
president of the Commercial State
bank, returned this morning from Du.
luth and the Twin Cities, where he
spent few days at conference on
the subject of market conditions re-
lating to durum wheat.
The Bankers committee has been
receiving inquiries lately referring to
the matter of the price of durum
wheat and complaints as to the fact
that durum wheat is being bought
and mixed by the millers. The COM
mittee has been making the fullest in
Vestigations as to whether durum
was being bought at a reduced price,
mixed with hard wheat and milled
and the flour sold as all hard wheat
flour and they have found that it is
true. Minneapolis millers are buy
ing durum and putting out as hard
wheat -four mixed product, thus
taking advantage of the farmer who
is not receiving the hard wheat price
for his durum.
At Duluth and Superior, Mr.. Mac
fadden was with officials of the Am
erican Society of, Equity and they
have arranged for a selling agency
at Minneapolis and Superior for grain
and that will mean cutting out of
the commission men in the DISPOSE
ton of the fruits of the earth, and
get the farmer and consumer in di-
+ ct communication with each other
and the Equity society officials are
reporting considerable progress as
far as they have gone. There are al
SO selling agencies at Chicago, Kan
sas City and st. ouis
The idea is to arrange so that So
ci9tv nalnbers will ship to the ag
ency and through that medium sell
their wheat direct to the millers. The
society committee hopes very soon
to establish storage houses at both
Superior and Minneapolis.
@ The 500 is arranging for a large
storage capacity which will be at the
disposal of the public so that the
farmers can obtain storage. #
81 This is the first year that the Am
eriear Society of Equity has hand
led the grain question. and it is a
gratifying tribute to the. previous
work of the society that in North
Dakota over 10000 mebers were en-
rolled in 40 DAYS during the sum
mer.
The organizers are favorahly i'm.
Il ssed with this city as a field for
the extension Of their labors and
hope to perfect arrangements for.
storage facilities at this point, IT.
is expected that many men inter
ested In the grain situation here will.
cooperate with them in their efforts
to give the growers q square deal.
IT Is afiirmed that as soon as egn-

cies can be established at convenient
points the society will be able to han

ensure thefarmer that he gets the
highest possible price at minimum
expense.

A Minute Fish.

The most diminutive vertebrate
creature in the world is said to be a
small fish caught in mountain lake
in the Luzon region of the Philippines.
The largest of. the species is less than
an inch long, but its smallness may be
best gagged by the fact that it takes
about 5000 of them to make pound.
Although so tiny. however, the fish,
which is named sinarapan, is an i'm
portant article of diet among the Phil
ippine natives. Obviously it is too
small for any net and is caught in
coarse muslin sheets. The fish are pre-
pared by being mixed with pepper and
other spices and then dried in the sun.
They are a great native dehcacy.

Cleaning Seed Grain.

The farmers are urged to re-
member that as they SOW they
may reap, and great care in the Sc
lection of their seed grain is
necessary. According to the adj
viceIof the scientists at the exper-
iment station and the most pro-
gressive farmers, it is SO imperative
that seed grain should be treated
with formaldehyde to prevent
smut. All the results of the land
and the labor depend upon the
purity Of the seed, and the farm
ers cannot afford to take any chan
ces by overlooking the ordinary
precautions to prevent crop disas-
ter. With the knowledge that the
right kind Of seeds have been put
in the ground, the farmers have
positive guarantee that they have
eliminated one source Of crop fail
ure. The cost Of the formalde-
hyde and extra labor for treating
the grain is cheap insurance in
this respect, and the wise farmer
will not disregard the treatment.

gives 1t out that he will not be threat
ened from his course of going before
the voters of Ohio for support.
AS between the two men standing
each for himself, Foraker would with
out doubt defeat Taft in a contest be-
fore the people of the state. But Taft
as an, individual and Taft as the
representative of Roosevelt, clothed
with the armor of Roosevelt's support
and Endorsement are two separate
quantities, the latter much more
formidable than the former. Taking
notice of the Roosevelt sentiment
through the country, and Of the condi-
lions in Ohio that enter into the cam
paign, it will be little short of re.
markable if Foraker shall succeed in
arousing Ohio to the forsaking of Taft
and the support Of himself.

Senator Hansbrough replies in Wig
orous terms to what he deems, and
with justice, an unfair inference drawn
by the Grand Forks Herald, in it's
telegraph headlines from a news dis
patch dealing with the now celebrated
and equally unproven "millionaires'
dinner" The inference of the Herald
was that Senator Hansbrough was
privy to a conspiracy to defeat Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his policies. It is
hardly necessary to explain the Her.
AIDS long existing and deep seated
prejudice against Senator Hansbrough,
which has frequently led it to do the
newspaper way with matters in which
the senator was concerned. Readers
of the Herald, without doubt, would
not expect to discover in that paper

brough, for the reason that the Herald
has long occupied the position that
nothing good can come from the sena'
tor. For this reason, we are Of the
opinion that the senator possibly takes
too seriously the weight of the
Herald's headlines. People of North
Dakota know that Senator Hansbrough
has been a consistent supporter of the
president and had advocated his re
election, holding that he has served
only one elective term. So it is ap'
parent that the people of the state
understand pretty thoroughly the at
titude, both of Senator Hansbrough
and the Herald.

VITAL STATISTICS.

cial appointed by the governor who
will have a clerk. Appropriations for
salaries and expenses have been pro.
vided. There is considerable sense in
this move. Heretofore the business of
collecting and reporting births and
deaths has been in the hands of the
physicians. Doctors are VIGOROUSLY
the worst people for keeping accounts
and records-with some exceptions
which only prove the rule.
Besides, many births and deaths
ccu in which the local doctors have
no call or knowledge. Of course the
old law made it the duty of everybody
to make these reports when the events
occurred in the family, but nobody
looked after the matter and it was
never half done. These vital statistics
are of great value in many ways. They
furnish figures which affect the very
life of the community as a whole, and
which everybody is interested. Be-
sides this, it sometimes becomes a
very important matter to have a pub
lie and legal record of both births and
deaths, especially the former. In pen
sion and life insurance matters this
data is often of utmost Importance
and up to the present time in this
state almost unattainable because no
public records have been kept.
"The town clerk, if allowed a small
fee, will be sufficiently interested and
will have the requisite knowledge of
local matters to keep the run of such
events and will be able to stir up the
parents and survivors to report births
and deaths as they should do-and the
state officials will stand behind them
for enforcement"

VILLAGE OFFICERS.
OPENING OF THE BATTLE.

The campaign for the presidency, or
at least an important element of it,
opens with the speech of Senator
Foraker of Ohio, delivered at Canton,
and which appears in substance else
where in this issue. The issue in
Ohio is between Foraker and Taft
the latter representing the ideas of
the president as to the successorship
to the presidency. With the support
of Ohio, Taft becomes a formidable
candidate for the highest office in the
land. AS the political lines are drawn,
Senator Foraker will oppose Taft and
go before the people of his state in an
effort to obtain the Endorsement of
Ohio, OF at least to prevent Taft's get
ting it, as without the support of his
state Taft of course becomes a negligi-
BILE quantity in the contest.
There is no doubling the eloquence
of Senator Foraker and his ability in
the past to sway his audiences and
obtain the support of his people from
the platform. That seems to be the
main reliance in the campaign in Ohio
on the part of his friends. Reports
from Ohio say the natural sentiment lis
for Taft, as representing the ideas of
President Roosevelt. Senator Dick,
who succeeded Senator Hanna as the
head of the republican organization in
Ohio, is not in the Hanna class as an
organizer, and is being urged by many
Of the Ohio republicans to forsake
Foraker and come out for Taft. Dick
has a host of personal friends and a
large individual following, but those
considerations are not apt to count in
the strenuous campaign in Ohio.
Senator Foraker sets out against
the president the same complaints that
have been heard from other sources
that he is hasty, impulsive and too
prone to interfere with the province
of the legislative branch of the govern
ment. Foraker claims he has been

will find the president ranged on the
other side. This Foraker holds to be
