NOT HIS FAULT.

1t is perhaps not surprising. but it
is at least notifying to see how the
antiRoosevelt element in high finance
is trying to turn the recent and pres
ent disturbances in Wall street into
an argument against the president. 1t
is given out that millions have gone
up into thin air in the past few days,
and all through Roosevelt's fault. He
made stocks fall, because he is presi-
dent and they have gone down. If
this is true, then he made them go
up. too. for since he has been presi-
dent there has been an enormous rise
in prices. If there hadn't been such.
a rise, there could not have been such
fall. When stocks were climbing,
it was all right. No need to thank
Roosevelt. But when they go down,
the fault lies at his door. This kind
of reasoning is ridiculous.
Everybody who has been watching
the course of things has been looking
for a break. 1t came worse, and
quicker, than expected Whether it
is over or not is to be seen. But
the wild speculation. the universal de-
mand for money, the flood OF high
interest, short-time notes. the out
breaks of hostility in state legisla-
lures, the failure of the roads to meet
the needs of the shippers all over the
country, the streets simultaneous en-
ploitation of the unparalleled pros
perity of these concerns, the revela-
tons such as the Hartman inquiry
brought to light-all these are ele-
ments that thoughtful people must
consider when they want to know
what the trouble is.
1t is even said that Roosevelt is
playing into Harriman's hands: that
this arch operator, desiring to secure
more stocks cheap, has been short of
the market for some time, and has
made use of the disconcerting dis
closures to shake out timid folks and
get back his securities at much lower
figures. This is absurd; but, if Har-
riman considers it a tribute to his
financial generalship, he is free to
enjoy compliment which few will
envy. Laying the blame for the dis
turbed conditions upon Roosevelt is
simply an attempt to weaken his hold
on the people, who believe in the
mans honesty and his high purpose.
1t will not work, for there is mighty
little sympathy the big country
through for the fellow who sweats
when stocks drop instead of when he
works.

THE woman WAS HIS Wife
Curious Things Happen ut Hotels
Wouldn't Add Wife.

Funny things happen now and then
at guest registrations in local hotels.
A man from Northern Minnesota en-
tered the Northern the other evening
and stood around for while as
though he had to answer some sort
of catechism before he could be al
lowed to register Night Clerk Burke
turned the register invitingly toward
him and tried the enticing smile that
usually lands the visitor at first at

The man picked up courage after
while and edged over to the book.
He dipped his pen into the ink as
though it were steam shovel on the
Panama canal contract. He dug up
enough black liquid to paint the town
in mourning. and then slowly and la
boriously began to trace his name.
Every time he made an up stroke he
raised his eyebrows. and when the
stroke was down his tongue would
appear between his teeth. At last he
finished the signature and heaved a
sigh of relief. The man was asked
if the lady with him was his wife,
and II she also was to be a guest.
He nodded in the affirmative, and then
had to be told to add land wife" to
his name. That seemed to daze him.
The clerk said in his most velvety
voice two or three times that if the
woman were his wife and was going
to remain. that he would have to add
that fact to his name on the register,
and finally he did. although he even
then did not seem to understand the

GETTING THE FACTS.

Some time ago Mayor Johnson of
Fargo went to Bismarck and secured
from the proper officials a statement
Of every corporation which is doing
business in the city of Fargo, with
the capital stock, amount of such
stock paid in, the officers of the cor
poration and such other data as would
enable the city assessor to find the
taxable property of the corporation,
or If not, to find the proper official
from whom the necessary information
upon which to base a proper assess
ment, could be obtained.
Mayor Johnson explained at the
time that his policy was to secure
such information for the use of the
assessor as would compel the corpo-
rations to pay their just proportion
OF the city taxes. He claimed, and
the claim seems to be we'll founded,
that the burdens of taxation were
borne by the man of small means
the draymen. the laborers and the
mechanics. He founded this idea on
the fact that when the assessor called
upon these people they could not hide
the property which they owned. 1t
was in every day use and could not

NATIONAL FAT STOCK SHOW
OPENED TODAY Aft, WORTH

Fort Worth, Tex, March 20.-The
National Feeders and Breeders show,
the great event of the year among the
cattlemen OF Texas and the southwest,
was formally opened today, thousands
OF visitors from many states and ter
ritories thronsing the big tent at the
stockyards. Over 5000 entries have
been made by 175 exhibitors, includ-
ing 322 royally-bred Shorthorns, 3S5
Herefords, IS Red Polls and Aberdeen
Angus. more than 1000 standard bred
cattle and hogs, some 500 sheep and
many head of horses and mules. Thou
sands of dollars in prizes are offered
for the best exhibits of cattle, sheep,
hogs and poultry, and many valuable
premiums and cups in the horse show.
The exhibits represent, not only Tex
as, but Oklahoma, Indian Territory,
Colorado, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky,
Tennessee and other states, and are by
far the most numerous ever shown
here.
The horse department is one of the
most prominent features of the show
and far exceeds anything of the kind
heretofore shown in the southwest.
The classes include Shires and Clydes-
dales, Percherons, Belgians, German,
French and Hackney coach horses,
standardized horses and mules.
Among the exhibits are string Of
Suffolk, Percheron and German coach
horses direct from England, a $4,000
imported German coach stallion and
Absolute, the $1,000 saddle stallion
which was the winner of the first prize
at the international show. One of the
finest collections of jacks ever brought
together in this country is on exhibi-
ton, including large string from the
famous Tennessee jack farm of Col.
John r. Clay.
Invitations in Spanish were sent to
all the leading ranchers OF Mexico,
and, as a result, the southern republic
is we'll represented among the visitors
at the show. Mexican cattlemen are
becoming alive to the importance of
breeding better cattle. and the desira-
bility Of this will be further impressed
upon them by the present exhibition.

he kept from the sight of the assess
or. But the corporation which had
capital stock of $4,000 or $4,000,
all of which was paid in, could leave
the assessor to look after the amount
of property and find what he could,
thing almost impossible. The capt.
tai stock which had been paid in
would naturally be employed in the
conduct of the business in some way
and if the property for which it had
been expended was visible, the Fargo
mayor believed the assessor would be
justified in taking the records of the
state as Il basis for assessing the cor
poration's business. He could thus
arrive at an approximate value of the
same and force the corporation to
prove what it actually had. or pay
its just share of the burdens OF tax

HAD SKULL CRUSHED
Valley City Man Met Death
While Loading Gasoline
Engine.

Valley City. March 20.-This morn
ing while assisting in loading gaso-
line engine at Alta, in the camp of
Winston Bros, Northern Pacific con-
tractors, Edward Fox was pinioned
beneath the machine and sustained a
fractured skull.
The crew at the Alta camp which is
being broken up by the Winston Bros,
who have a heavy contract on the cut
off work, were engaged shortly before
noon in loading a gasoline engine
onto a sleigh to bring it to the city.
The engine had already been placed
on the sleigh by means of skids, when
in an effort to remove them, the en-
CINE was tipped off. The ends of the
skids were under the engine and in
prying it up to get them out, the
engine toppled over, and in falling,
caught Fox, who was standing on the
opposite side OF the sleigh, beneath 1t
and fractured his skull at the base.
He was brought to the city, reaching
Platou's hospital at o'clock and dy-
ing twenty minutes later.
Edward Fox was about fifty years
OF age and leaves a wife and a grown
son and daughter at his home at Wa
terloo, Iowa. Mrs. Fox was here with
her husband. 1t is expected that the
remains will be inferred here.

score of years ago, when the work of
breeding out the famous Texas long
horns was commenced by the intro
duct1on OF pure-bred bulls. AS a re-
suit there are now few, if any, genuine
long-horns in this state. The millions
OF cattle on the ranges of Mexico are
nearly all of the long-horn variety.
but the awakening of the ranchers of
that country will soon result in
change for the better. A comparison
of the 1000 pound Texas steers, worth
over twice as much on the open mar
ket as the 500 pound Mexican long
horns, is certain to result in the pur-
chase by Mexican ranchers of MANY
Texas bulls.

made by the business men and citi-
zens of Fort Worth to care for the I'M

finest ever erected, for q live stock
show, and will be completed in time

truth might go in. Jerome wanted
Delmas to stipulate that the cross
examination of DR.. Hamilton in the
Thaw case should not be limited to
rebuttal testimony. When Delmas re-
fused, Jerome renewed his objection
to DR.. Hamilton testifying and was at
length sustained by Justice Fitzger-
aid.
Justice Fitzgerald ordered the jury
TO withdraw while counsel continued
to discuss the stipulation under which
DR.. Hamilton might possibly testify.
In addressing the court, District At
torney Jerome declared that if he
could legally present to the court all
the facts he had, it would be shocked
and Mortified.
We have no right to be trying this
defendant in court of law"
so bitterly do feel about this, he
continued, that have served notice
on counsel that if they have knowl-
edge of facts l believe to be in their
possession. l will call the matter to
the attention of the appellate division
of the supreme court"
Justice Fitzgerald said he would in
stitute an inquiry before himself and
not before the jury, as to the present
mental state of the defendant
Jerome said he would lay before JUS
tice Fitzgerald all the information he
had and which he believed would re-

Justice Fitzgerald his own experts had

STATE FAIR PROSPECTS.

The state fair which will be held
in this city during the coming sum-
mer will be one OF the biggest events
in the way OF fairs and agricultural
exhibitions that the northwest has
ever witnessed. The directors behind
it are among the best business men
of the city. and they are experienced
in the matter of conducting such en-
hibitions. The active man in the mat
ter is the secretary and upon him
devolves the greater part of the bur-
den. The present official in that ca
pacity, though a new man in the
state. has already given abundant evil
dence that he is complete master Of
the situation. He is progressive, ac-
tive and alert.
One trouble last year was the al
most utter lack of advertising. The
attractions We're not secured until a
late date and then they proved to be
an aggregation that had been banded
about at the smaller fairs throughout
the state until they We're worn thread
bare, and possessed no more attrac-
ton than a merry-go-round. They
were largely of the cheap john style
and We're a detriment rather than an
advantage to the fair. This condition
will not occur again. The attractions
connected with the fair will be some
thing which the people OF the state
have not seen at every little meeting
in the country, and such that the peo-
pie will come miles to see.
The real fair exhibits-the products
of the farms and factories-will be
far larger than ever made at any fair
in the state before. They will include
the finest blooded cattle, sheep, hogs,
horses and other farm stock that can
be found in the state. And it must
be admitted that North Dakota is now
in the very front rank as a producer
of the best blooded stock. 1t will be
remembered that North Dakota pro-
duct has taken first prize at the In
ternational stock show where COM
petition is open to the world.
The racing program will not be set
tied for some time. but there is no
question but that it will be the star
race meet of the entire northwest, at
tracing horsemen from all parts of
the country. Some OF the horses will
be among the record makers of the
racing world.
Grand Forks is better prepared to
care for the crowds which will GER
tainly be in attendance than any other
city in the state. 1t has better hotel
facilities, better streets and better
general facilities than can be found
this side the twin cities. The means
of reaching the fair grounds are I'M
surpassed, a full train of passenger
coaches being run at short intervals
between the city and the park.
There is no place in the country
where the farmer and his family can
spend as delightful season as at the
state fair in this city, and when they
plan for their summer outing, this
should be included.
