Only For Graft.
(Minot Independently

The Independent is considerably
surprised at the attitude of the Grand
Forks Herald in refusing to publish
an article sent to that paper for pub
lication by the Northwestern North
Dakota Federation, unless the fedora
ton pay for the same at advertising
rates. The Grand Forks Times kind
ly published half a page of interest
ing matter, free of charge. The Her.
aid has been ever ready to publish i'll
reports of this part of the state. many
OF which were absolutely false, and
the Independent cannot see why the
paper should not be just as willing
at this time to publish the truth. We
understand that the Herald's own cor
respondent in Minot sent in the ar
ticle which was turned down. In an

of the public and have measured them
accordingly.

The work of constructing new side
walks in the residence portions of the
city which was suspended last fall
because of the cold weather, should
be taken up as soon as the weather
will permit and pushed to completion.
Nothing has done more to beautify the
city than the tearing up of the dilapi-
dated board sidewalks and the replac-
ing of them by cement ones. There
are yet few eyesores which should
receive attention at once, so that the
people could have the use of them
during the summer and so that the
visitors who come to the city will see
it at its best and realize that it is
modern and progressive.

OUR CITIZEN SOLDIERS.

The North Dakota national guard
is certainly to be congratulated on
the consideration which it received
at the hands of the late legislature.
1t secured the passage of the law
which provides that within a few
years every company will be comfort
ably housed in its own armory and
furnished with every convenience and
advantage necessary to its efficiency
and influence. Much of the credit for
this condition is due to Representa-
tive Purdon of Richland county, who
was chairman of the house committee
on military affairs, but it is only JUS
tice to say that he was supported
at every point by every man in the
organization.
Another strong factor in the secur-
ing of the result mentioned was the
Office of the adjutant general. Under
the efficient business administration
of General Poole that Office took on
new life and new energy was instill-
ed into every company. The great
drawback to the entire organization
has been the lack of places to drill.
This of course is the very foundation
of the soldiers efficiency, and most
of the companies were forced to use
cramped and unsuited quarters for
this work with the result that the
members lost interest and the drills
became insipid and lacking in vitali-
ty. But with the providing of new
quarters these things will pass away,
and while it is impossible to provide
for all the companies at once, the
provisions of the law will enable the
several companies in few years to
have the very best accommodations
The members have already shown
much enthusiasm in the building up
of the organization and the apathy
of the last few years has been chang
ed into enthusiasm. Drills will be-
come more regular and the work of
better character because the men,
bers will enter into the same with
interest and spirit.
There is no more deserving organi-
cation in the nation today than the
militia Of the several states. 1t Is the
great standing army of the nation
the happy and intelligent combination
of the citizen and the soldier which
gives to the nation the unconquerable
armies which have not only been the
wonder but the admiration of the
world. We do not want to become
a great military power for the pur-
pose of aggression. But it is recog-
nized principle that the safety of a

RAILROAD SNOW BREAKS.

1t would seem that the experiences
of the railroads in the northwest dur
ing the past winter, and for that mat
ter for several winters, would induce
them to consider some measure for
protecting their roads from snow
drifts and the consequent blocking
of traffic. With all the advancement
made in building, equipping and oper-
ating railroads, little if any advance
has been made in protecting them
from drifting snow. This it must be
admitted is the cause of the blockades
that work so much disaster and so
much expense and consequent loss.
The Evening Times believes that
the best snow protection which the
railroads could secure would be lines
Of hedges planted at sufficient dis
lance from the road and of such a
variety that the growth would afford
dense mating sufficient to serve as
wind break. The planting of these
hedges at the points where the snow
drifts because of the cuts and other
conditions, would protect the line
from these drifts and at the same
time would serve to make beautiful
the country along the lines especially
during the summer time.
It is argued that the danger from
fire makes this method of protection
from the drifting snow inexpedient.
There may be some grounds for this
argument, but while the danger from
fire is something, the loss from block
AIDED lines is more, and if the plant
ing of hedges will protect the lines
from the latter, they could well afford
to incur some expense in providing
means of protection from fire. It is
not SO much matter of financial
saving and convenience to the rail-
roads themselves that the subject
needs attention from the people of the
state, but because the encouragement
OF the plan would mean in a few
years, the planting of thousands of
trees on the naked prairies and the
conversion OF the barren regions
along the roads into places of beauty.
From an aesthetic point of view the
matter is worthy the attention of the
people and it would seem from an

nation from the dangers as we'll as
the horrors of war, lies in the
strength of the fighting arms. The
world has not yet reached that sub
lime point in the onward march of
civilization where the right is the re-
cognized principle of all diplomatic
actions and the means by which all
national disputes are settled. 1t is
the fear of defeat in conflict which
makes nations respect the rights of
others at times, at least.
The state national guards are the
bone and sinew of the war power in
this country. Trained in the manual
of war, and subjected to such dis
cipline as he would be required in
actual service, they can be converted
in a few weeks, if not a few days,
into fighting force trained AMI drill
ed for the work that other nations
must secure from vast standing
armies. The national guard is some
thing more than tin soldiers, then.
1t is the army of the nation filling
with honor and credit the position of
civilians while ready at a moments
call to meet the nations foes on the
field of battle. They deserve much
at the hands of the state and they
got nothing more than what they were
entitled to in the bill which was pass
ed for their benefit.

In the recent Tysver murder
trial at Glasgow. Mont, the SUBJ
ject of today's caricature made
a brilliant and effective plea in
behalf of the defendant, with the
result that the jury. after
thirty hours elaboration,
brought in a verdict of not
guilty. This was one of the
first important cases, one
which attracted statewide at
tendon, in which Mr.. Skula-
son has appeared since he was
admitted to the bar, three years
ago. His forsenic skill. so
thoroughly displayed in this
case, gives promise that his flu
ture career in the profession of
the law will make him a place
that will rebound not only to his
own credit, but also to the
standing which the members of
the North Dakota bar hold
among tho legal fraternity of
the country.
Since 1877, Mr.. Skulason has
been a resident of the state. 1t
was in Grand Forks that he Sc

tered the state university in the
fall of 1895, graduating from the

AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS

In the death of Robert Brownlee,

o'clock Sunday morning, following an
illness OF less than a week of la grippe
which ran into pneumonia, Grand
Forks lost one Of her most respected
and unselfish citizens. The announce
ment Of Mr.. Brownlee's demise came
as thunderbolt of clear sky, only
a few OF his intimate friends being
aware that he was i'll at all, and even
they not considering his condition as
being particularly serious. The de-
ceased had been apparently in the en-
Joyment of his usual health up till
the forepart of last week, when he
complained of not feeling we'll. His
trouble was diagnosed as la grippe.

mons.

New Zealand is small country" said
Mr. Magney, but It is the best governed
country in the world There are no very
rich nor any very poor there, because the
laws are made to prevent this. They have
system of graduated taxes on land. 4
man who owns only FIVE acres pays less
taxes IN proportion than the man who owns
100 acres And the man who lives outside
the country and owns land in the country
Is taxed nearly twice what the resident
owner must pay. There is a graduated tax
on all incomes above $500 a year.
THE government owns the railroads, tel
egraphs and telephones. 1t also owns the
coal fields. They never have strikes be-
cause they have compulsory arbitration.
II men are dissatisfied with wages they
come before the board. The decision OF
the board is final and whether in favor OF
employer or employee must be abided BY.
They have the compulsory eight-hour day
in all lines OF work. An employe is not
permitted to work more than eight hours
even If he wants to. The employer is also
compelled to give the employee half holt
day each week. They have a national in
surance company run by the government.
and the women vote at all elections. CitI-
zens are pensioned by the government after
they reach the age Of 60 years. Under these
advanced IDEAS New Zealand has existed
for nearly twenty years in the greatest
prosperity"
