ABOUT PLANTING TREES.

the following to say:
From experiments made at the agrl-

ed that elm, white and green ash, soft
maple and box elder are perfectly hardy
in North Dakota The soft maple, how,
ever, should be planted in the midst OF
other trees. There are other hardy
varieties of trees. such as the hakberry
Carolina popular, cottonwood, ETC., but
the two latter, while they do we'll in
single rows, should never be planted In
largo groves. They require too much
sunlight to thrive where planted thickly
and consequently die young. Suitable
trees for planting forests can be obtain
ed from reliable nursery-men for from So
to 81 per thousand. When planting
young trees their roots should never be
allowed to become dry for a single
moment. Ine Tree grove SHoulQ De

FARMERS organizations such as are
now being formed in this state should
be favored by all classes. Organized
effort along any line will accomplish
much and as this is purely an agricul-
tural state at present our success or
failure depends upon the success Or
failure of the farmer. By this we do
not mean to endorse the Society of
Equity. We do not know that it is just
what would be best. From a hasty
glance at the constitution and bylaws
of that organization we would judge
that the members, through representa-
tives, can direct the management, change
or alter the aims and round out and
make to fit those things which may from
time to time need changing to best and
most quickly bring about the most de-
sirable action. This may be the best
organization possible or it may not be so
good but any organization with the
power in the hands of the members,
even if it be crude and incomplete, SO
long as it is free from graft and not to
further personal ends, is better than no
organization at all. This paper is oppos-
ed to combinations to control, but so
long as combinations exist in every line
aside from that of agriculture, there is
every reason why the farmers should
combine. There is no question but the
farmer is receiving smaller dividends
for the amount invested than is the man
in any other line of business. His work
is as hard as the hardest and his hours
the longest. For this there is every
reason why he should receive fair re-
Enumeration. 1t seems that the only
way he a secure it is through organic.

AS HAS been previously announced
Langdon is to have one of the biggest
Fourth of July celebrations this year
that has ever been held in Cavalier
county. The fact that spring has been
somewhat backward is no reason there
should be any delay in making a pre-
liminary move in these preparations. In
order that the celebration should be the
success we all desire to see it work
should be started at once on the pro
gram for the ~observances of the day,
Two months start Is none too much for
such a monster celebration as Langdon
is destined to have this year. Lets
have an anniversary of the nations
natal date that will attract every one
living in the county and as many out
siders as we can attract here. A good
big celebration with plenty of genuine
attractions for the visitors who come to
spend the day with us is one of the best
means possible of showing the people
what a good town Langdon is. Let's
get to work right away.

CLEVELAND ON INSURANCE

Former President Cleveland is just
now engaged in a work which is not
likely to add to either his laurels or his
reputation. AS counsel for the life in
surance presidents he has submitted a
brief in relation to the power of states
to take salaries paid to life insurance
officials into consideration in laws regu-
iating insurance. As this brief is in
tended for use in opposing state leglsla-
ton it puts the ex-president in a class
with the lobbyists Il rather undignified
position for one of his standing. But as
he is the custodian of his own reputation
less exception can be taken to his en-
ployment than to the legalopinion which
he has given. He denies the right of
the state to put a limit on salaries paid
to officials 10y companies doing business
within its borders. The objection which
he raises goes to the very root of the
question of control. If the states are
powerless to protect policy holders from
losses sustained through ~extravagant
salaries, of what value is state authority.
The ex-presldent bases his opinion on
the theory that no line can be drawn
between the natural person and the
corporation. While it is true that some
of the courts have confused this line it
is, nevertheless, a very. clear and dis
tinct line. The natural person has
natural and inalienable rights while
the corporation has only those rights
which are conferred upon it by
law. Man was created to carry out a
Divine decree, the corporation was
created as a money making institution.
1t is only fair that the natural persons
IN one state shall stand upon an equal
footing with the natural persons of an.
other state, but there is neither reason
nor logic in the position that a state can
create corporate giants and then with
out properly controlling them demand
that they be given all the rights and
immunities of natural persons in addition
to the special rights and privileges con-
ferred by law. The whole object of an
incorporation law is to grant to the cor
poration certain rights and privileges
which the individual does not enjoy; if
the corporation is to have these and
then have all the rights and immunities
"of the natural person, the man-made
corporation will be placed on a higher
plane than the God-made man. If the
insurance companies begin a systematic
crusade against state control they will
develop a sentiment in favor of state
insurance just as the railroad managers,
10y resisting state regulation, create a
sentiment In favor of government owner
ship. Mr.. Ceyeland's position is both
andignified and undemocratic.
