Their recommends that the courts be
to order a recount in all

While the republicans, and perhaps the
majority of the democrats throughout
the country, would dislike to see Mr..
Hearst elevated to any important
public Office, there are many, in both
parties who believe that an honest
count of the votes cast in the recent
New York city election would show
Hearst elected as mayor, and who also
believe in the application of the square
deal" to friend and foe alike. There
need be no surprise felt because of this
action on the part of Governor Hughes.
1t is thoroughly characteristic of the
man and of his known devotion to the

the suffering localities over the United
States has led many papers, and public
men, to make the assertion that the
roads were taking this means of dds
ciplining" the people who have ad-
vocated the creation of State Railroad
Commissions, and legislation that is
adverse to the roads insofar as it pre-
vents them from doing exactly as they
please as regards rates as we'll as ser
vice. The attitude of the different
roads. as developed at the National
Reciprocal Demurrage Convention held
in Chicago, bears out this assertion
pretty fully. The secretary of the
Pacific Coast Lumberman's Association
told the convention that the Northern
Pacific and the Great Northern, on
three different occasions, had volun-
teered to show the shippers "what a
real car shortage meant" Secretary
Beckham told the convention that it
was the intention of the Lumberman' S
Association to try to put these two
roads into the hands of Receiver, or

Receivers, and then swamp them with
damage suits aggregating SIS, 900, 900.
The tremendous traffic really gives the
roads some excuse for a car shortage,
but there is growing belief among
the people that the roads are taking
advantage of the situation to aggravate
the difficulty as sort of retaliation on
their part against adverse agitation
and legislation. If this is their inten-
tion it is doomed to avail them nothing
except more repressive legislation, but,
meanwhile, it is rather hard burden
on the helpless public.

principles of justice and far play. No
more striking application Of the Roose-

been furnished than in this intercession
by Governor Hughes to secure the
fullest measure of justice for the man
who, through his newspapers and from
the stump, so bitterly assailed him
during the recent campaign for the
governorship.

Captain Ross served in Company ii.
First North Dakota regiment, in the
Philippines and most of the time was
one Of Lawton's scouts. For conspicn-

A flock master Of. Dickinson comes
forward with a remarkable story, with
figures to illustrate his success in the
sheep business.
Three years ago he purchased for
$4,000 a flock of 1929 sheep. For the
first two years the wool sold paid the
running expenses Of the flock, which
increased great deal in number Dur
ing the past year the wool paid 81 900
more than the running expenses, and
mutton to the value OF $4,000 was sold.
The flock master now has to show
for his work the $1,000 profit on this
years wool, $1,000 for mutton sold and
1900 sheep, valued at 81 per head, or
$1,000.
| The total value of the sheep at the
present time, plus the profit, on wool
and mutton, amounts to $12,40O, or a

PosTPoNEMENT OF THE
MEETING

On his return to Grand Forks Prof.
Richards who went to Mandan to at
tend a meeting of the North Dakota
Live Stock association, said:
Tt was impossible for us to hold a
successful convention at this time,
The storm Of Saturday put the roads
in such a condition that the farmers
around Mandan could not get in to
attend the meeting and with all the
railroads tied up, the stockmen from
different parts Of the state were pre-
vented from coming, so it was decided
to adjourn the meeting of the assoeia-
ten until the latter part of June. BY
that time the farmers will have com
pleted their spring and early summer
work and will be able to attend the
meeting in large numbers. III
The people of Mandan were much
disappointed that the meeting could
not be held, as they had made every
preparation to entertain the visitors
royalty. They raised $500 for this
purpose s!..s
One session of the association was
held in the Mandan opera house on
Tuesday evening, and was largely at
tended by the citizens of Mandan.
Several addresses were delivered
An attempt is to be made to secure
an appropriation of $1,000 from the
legislature for the purpose OF carrying
on the work Of the association.

RAILROAD INsuFFIclENcY.

ssThe Railroad Crisis" is the caption
of a very interesting article in the
American Monthly Review Of Reviews
for February. The present seeming
inability of the railroads Of the coun-
try to handle the traffic has awakened
a general discussion of the railway
problem. It has provoked more seri-
GUS discussion of government owner
ship. In part the article is as follows
The argument for government own
ership of railroads in the United
States has usually been based upon
the view that these highways Of COM
merce are of public necessity and
should be placed under public control
to insure to the citizen an equality of
advantage in their use. The principal
argument against such governmental
ownership has been the superior
practical efficiency of private direction
and management. But Unless condi-
tons VIGOROUSLY prevalent just now
should soon be changed for the better,
the public-ownership advocates will
become confident and aggressive along
q wholly new line of advance, where
they have heretofore been on the de
fensive. They will point to the com
p1ete breaking down of efficiency In
the actual business OF transportation
in this country, and will begin to
claim that the government could not
possibly do things SO badly and would
in all probability manage the roads
with a far higher degree Of business
efficiency. Furthermore, they win
point to the inability of the great rail
road managers to obtain the money
they need to. make absolutely neces-
sary improvements, whereas the gov
eminent of the III tess couad
obtain almost unIIss
the rate of interest the railroads
would be obliged to pay. It does not
follow that these new arguments will
he conclusive. There is no evidence
as yet to show that the people of the
United States, justly exasperated with
the railroad managers as they have
become, are by any means prepared TO
throw the burden of railroad owner
ship and administration upon the
United States government. On the
other hand, they will heartily support
j the government in its present policy
of investigating abuses and trying to
compel those responsible for present
conditions to apply practical RENE
