DEMOCRAT SCHEME

counties gets no representation while
in the others they get one senator and
two representatives. Take Ward and
Cass counties for comparisons and
the inequality is more pronounced.
Cass county has population of 3D.
955; Ward, 33,46s. Ward county has
1,511 more population than Cass, yet
Cass county gets, under the plan I'M
der discussion, three senators and
seven representatives, while Ward
with a larger population gets two
senator's and seven representatives.
Or the smaller county gets one more
vote in the legislative body than the
larger one.
A prominent insurgent in discuss
ing the matter stated that the PROPOSE
ton was in this shape: The eastern
counties had the votes to fix the APP
portionment to suit themselves and
while they would concede something
to the western counties these latter
would be in better shape if they
would accept with humble thanks
what was doled out to them rather
than for the representatives of these
people to stand up and fight for what
they believe is their rights under the
constitution.
1t is safe to predict that the west
ern counties will not get what they
expect in the way of representation.
Unfortunately for them in this in
stance they are not tarred with the
right stick, and the people should
know who is responsible for the work.

WRONG IN HIS PREMISES.

1t is rather amusing to watch the
efforts of certain Fargo newspapers
to promote feeling of antipathy
for Grand Forks, her people, her en-
terprises and her institutions. The
state university has several times been
the subject of attack. An evening or
two since, Fargo Forum imp of the
perverse, gaily disporting himself in
the reporters room, juggled the En-
glish language until he evolved the
following statement:
ut is proposed to introduce in the
legislature measurs revoking the aid
given the university street car line
by the state in furnishing power in
running it,"
The facts in the matter are that the
company owning the line is now and
has been paying 1-2 cents per kilo-
watt hour for all power used, rate
that is not only fair commercial
rate, but is higher than that paid by the
management of the Fargo street rail-
way for it's power. Manager Heath
himself informed President Merrifield
of the state university that his power
cost him 23-4 cents per kilowatt hour,
or three-quarters of a cent less than
the university line is paying for "the
aid it gets from the state"
The Forum writer should become
Informed before unloading such ride
ulous statements upon the public.

the preliminary arrangements for the
big U. T. G. convention to be held in
this city on June 6. Z and s of this
year. The finance committee has come
out in good shape and the members
report that hecitizens in general
We're very responsive to the requests,
seeming to realize the benefit that
will accrue to Grand Forks from such
a gathering.
A considerable portion of the work
surrounding the arrangements, rests
upon the shoulders of w. w. Fegan
and that gentleman is devoting nearly
all his time to the subject
1t is figured at the present time
that this city will entertain anywhere
from 500 to 1,1O0 commercial travellers
on the occasion OF the convention. The
towns that will be represented are
located in Minnesota, South Dakota,
and the provinces of Alberta, ASSN

George Hankey, of University ave-

friend of his who travels out of
Winnipeg into the Alberta country
with a line of goods, in which is re-
counted one or two rather terse tales
of the quality of weather that has been
experienced in the Alberta country.
Nh. Hankey's friend writes as follows:
A citizen in one of the new boom

froze in chunk in the air, hit the
cat on the head and broke it's skull.
In another town housekeeper left
lamp burning all night in the kitch-

in the morning found the flame had
frozen hard. She broke it off and
threw it into the woodshed, where
later it thawed out and set the shed

NO MORE FUEL TRUSTS.

Golfers Weekly: This congress
has had before it no measure exceed
ing, if any equaling, in Importance the
bill introduced by Senator LaFollette,
with the hearty approval of the pres
ident, for the retention of the govern
ment of all its coal and oil lands that
have not yet been disposed of. The
bill reserves from entry and sale, in
the United States and in the Philip
pines, the mineral rights to coal and
other minerals mined for fuel, oil, gas,
or asphalt, allowing the surface to be
sold, but providing for leasing the
mineral rights under system of lie
enses. The area to be leased to one
person or association is not to exceed
five square miles, and no common
carrier is allowed to hold a license.
The term of the license is not to ex-
exceed thirty years, and the royalties
are not to be less than eight cents
ton on coal, sixty cents ton on min
eral for hard asphalt, fifteen cents per
barred on mineral for soft asphalt,
One-sixth of the value of the product
of any oil we'll, fifty dollars year
for each gas well not utilized, and a
cent thousand cubic feet on gas
used at the works. Elaborate provis-
ions are made for carrying out the de-
tails of the business. The government
is to retain full powers of regulation,
and the president is to have the right
to resume possession of the land at
any time on compensating the licenses
for his property and good will but not
for any remaining mineral. The min
imum amount of product to be taken
annually from any mine is to be fixed
by the secretary of the interior. No

cupied the distinction of having sold
more stock, at less cost to the company
than any other block man in the

be mentioned that he is rock-ribbed
democrat and should he take turn

swing the entire slope to that party.

1t is obvious that if any very large
proportions of the coal and oil lands
of United States were worked under
such conditions there would be no coal
trust, and Standard Oil would not be

just how much the Government still
possesses of such resources, but it is

Dog Was Wise
The following story was told the
Evening Times representative by sew
eral commercial travellers who lately
returned from the village of Hills
boro-the story showing the charac-
teristic optimism of the North Dakota
hotel keeper. 1t seems there are two
hotels in Hilsboro, call them the Wall
tin and the Weston. The proprietor
of the Weston was heard to drop re-
mark to the effect that Waltin's dog
came over to his place to eat. Several
of the boys sprung the remark on
Waltin at dinner hour and that gentle
man sagely remarked. we'll Aye

In the state legislature-or in any
large law-making body-the man who
succeeds in benefitting his constitu-
ents, is not the one that makes Rome
howl" or who frequently crises to
remark" but it is the one who works
and plans, keeps counsel largely with
himself and retains his equananimity
at all times. The consequence of this
line of conduct is that when this man
does rise to champion cause, he is
more apt to gain his point.

COCK FIGHTING AND LAW.

The punishment of four leading Gu
ban liberals, including the man who
ran against former President Palma
for the Office of president of the re-
public, for taking part in the illegal
sport of cock fighting, is not an agree
able incident. The peculiar charm
to men Of southern temperament of
seeing Ego" between two pugnaci-
Gus ROSTERS can scarcely be appreci-
ated by men of colder blood; although
it must be remembered that these
same men of northern blood have as
strong passion for sports and games
of a different kind. But every one,
whether his blood runs furiously or
slowly, is supposed to know that illeg-
al sport is not respectable sport; and,
in case of men who are in fact lead
ers in public affairs, the obligation to
observe such statutory restrictions is
usually binding. President Palma
would never, We are sure, have forgot
ten this obligation; and he was, there
fore, in this fundamental particular of
respect for the law, far better than
those who finally brought about his
political downfall.
The mischief with Gomez and Pine
Guerra and the rest is that they are
quite as likely to disregard law in big
things as in little things-in affairs of
state as in cock fighting. Before Judge
Taft got through with the Cuban in
surrectors and the liberal leaders, dur
ing his visit to Cuba, he had metaphor
ically to hold his nose when he met
them; and this police record of fine
for cock fighting helps to explain why
he and they grew further and further
apart the more they saw of each other
The moderates, as the party with
which Palma finally affiliated is called,
are only relatively better in this mat
ter of respect for law. AS between
losing or winning an election by
straining the law, probably no Cuban
politician who has passed his life in
the island is worthy of trust. 1t is
fine material, truly, with which to
build up stable native government.
