The action of the insurgent Re-
publicans in their meeting at Far
go Saturday, if carried out, will
result in the very thing they have
been for some time trying to avert
the reelection Henry Clay Hans
brough to the United States SEN
ate. The man selected for their
support is a new man in the state,
and is not much known outside the
city of Grand Forks. Dean Bruce
may be good man for the state
university, he may be a glib talker
and all that, but he is not in a
position to go up against Senator
Hansbrough in fight to win.
The arbitrary action of Editor
Winship in holding out doggedly
for the Grand Forks man is but
another instance of his shortsight-
edness and disregard for public
opinion. It is the honest opinion
of the Times that Dean Bruce
cannot be elected. d.-Oakes Times.

a look at things about him he will
very readily notice that potato
bugs are growing an extra heavy

covering the outside of their bur

field mice have all gone south ;
and the tumble weeds are follow

deposits required thousands of mil
lions of years. Their present So
called owners had no part in this
creation of resources and have no
real rights to them beyond present
urgent needs.
''The fuel supplies of the coun-
try will be sufficient for both pres
ent and future needs if we stop
their waste and practice increasing
efficiency utilization. There can
be no suggestion looking to the
curtailment of present needs:
These needs will increase in pro-
portion as the nation grows in
population and in the extent and
diversity of it's industries. And
while the present generation has a
right to use the fuel which it actu-
ally needs it is bound by every
principle of right and justice, not
to waste, but properly to conserve
for their future use the birthright
Of the generations yet unborn.
"We cannot continue this enor-
nous consumption of our fuel
resources and at the same time
perpetuate the supply of cheap
fuels. The only solution of the
problem is that we must use our
fuels more efficiently. We must

HUGE WASTE
OF FUEL MAY
Be SERIOUS
Coal Beds Of Nation Likely to Be
Exhausted by the End Of the
Century.
|. A. Holms, Chief Of the U. 5. Geo.
logical Survey, Reports Follow
ing Conditions.

J. A. Holmes, chief Of the tech
nologic branch the of us Geolo-
gical survey, has recently compile
ted in three months tour Of inspec-
ton to ascertain conditions in the
West. In connection with his re.
port on conditions as he found
them, he devotes considerable
space to waste and exhaustion of
the resources of our country.
Zone of the great national prob
lens is the conserving of the fuel
resources says Mr.. Holmes. ''At
the present rate Of increase in
consumption the better part Of the
fuel supply Of the country will be
gone at the end of the present
century unless the proper steps are
taken.
"The world recognizes Ameri-
cans as the most wasteful of peo-
pies in the utilization Of their re-
sources. Certainly no nation
received so rich an inheritance as
did the United States in it's combi-
nation of soil and forest and
climate and streams and mineral
resources. Out of the very abun-
dance of these resources we have
developed an indifference to econ
omy.
"Coal is now the worlds great
fuel. Wood has been used extern
sively in the past, especially for
domestic purposes. Gas and pc
troleum continue to have an extern
sive local use, and in power and
light developments water power
will play an important part in
many portions of the country.
But the worlds great centers and
industries of to-day and, as far as
we know, of the future, must look
to coal as their source Of heat,
power and light.
Notwithstanding the recognized
Importance of coal, its mining and
use are subjected to enormous
waste.
"During the last year the coun-
try used considerably more than
400, 100000 tons of COAL During
the ten years preceding this con-
sumption Was nearly three billion
tons-which approximates the
the aggregate consumption Of the
seventy years preceding. This
rapidly increasing consumption is
normal and proportional to the
country's development, and there
is no reasonable ground for doubt
ing its continuance except as we
may find ways Of using our coal
more efficiently. If this increasing
rate of consumption does continue
the nation will have used the lar
gest part of it's coal supply before
the end Of the present century.
''The exhaustion of mineral re-
sources is permanent. One years
wheat crop, when consumed, is
replaced by that Of the succeeding
year. The forest resources of one
period, when exhausted, under fa-
vorable conditions, may be replaced
by succeeding forest. A water
supply of one day or Of one period,
under favorable circumstances may
be continued indefinitely by ma
ture's own processes; but when a
deposit of coal or oil or iron ore or
similar mineral substances has
been exhausted, this exhaustion is
permanent
''The mineral resources of the!
country belong to the future as
well as to the present generations
Of men. They should be used, but
not wasted. The creation of these

the privilege of affiliating with the

injured them by their campaign
against the saloons. To the everlast-

Of course the ministers union OPP

contra the brewery workers union
operated to the disadvantage Of the

had a perfect right to ask the expul-
sion of the brewery workers if the
brewery workers had right to de-
mand the expulsion of the ministers.
