Can North Dakota Grow Corn?

sCan North Dakota grow corn?",
asks the newcomer some of
the old timers: The corn show to
be held in Fargo this winter, at
the time of the meeting of the
Tri-state Grain Growers Conven-
tion, will be forceful answer to
the question. 1t is already as
sured that there will be large ex-
hibit. Professor Randlett, who
has the matter in charge, already
has some excellent samples of corn
grown this year in various parts
of the state. Those who appreci-
ate that the culture of corn is
step toward diversity in farming,
which in turn means fewer weeds,
fewer plant diseases, fewer unoc-
cupied areas, and more live stock,
more fertility and more prosper
ity. Do not fail to visit the ex-
hibit. During the exhibit an ex-
pert in corn culture will be in at
tendance, and will explain to all
interested what things go to make
up the most desirable type Of corn.

HANSbR0uCH
SPOKE AT BEACH
Senator Il. c. Aansbrough Spoke
to a Good Crowd at the Opera
House Last Tuesday
Evening.

Senator H. C. Hansbrough, who
has been making speeches in behalf
of the Republican state and ma
tional ticket in different parts of
the state, spoke at Beach last Tues
day evening at the opera house to a
very good crowd, considering the
stormy weather of Monday and
Tuesday, and the very short notice
the Beach people were given to re-
ceive him.
A phone message from the Re-
publican headquarters at Fargo
Monday morning announced that
he would be here Tuesday night.
He arrived on No. 3 Tuesday after
noon and left on the belated No. 2
Immediately after closing his ad-
dress. He spoke in a very forceful
manner on the principal issues of
the campaign, touching principally
on the tariff, government guaran-
tee Of bank deposits and the record
Of both parties. The senator has
been on the sick list for long
time, suffering from throat and
ear trouble, and although his talk
was we'll received, he was not at
his best.
Mr.. Hansbrough was a candidate
in the primaries for reelection,
but his addresses are being made
strictly in the interet of the state
and national ticket.

Political Sensation Caused By Ap-
plication to Supreme Court to
Prevent Voting on the
U. 5. Senatorship.
DOES NOT EFFECT THE
PRIMARY Law AS A WHOLE

The validity of the primary
election law, so. far as it relates
to the method of Endorsement
of a candidate for the United
States senate, has been directly at
tackled in the supreme court, by an
action begun last Saturday, by Ball,
Watson, Young and Lawrence of
Fargo, as attorneys for Herschel
James, citizen of Hettinger
county.
Writs of injunction and prohibi-
tion are asked to prevent a vote
being taken at the coming election
on the matter of the senatorship,
both against the county auditors
Of the state and the secretary of
state.
The provisions of the primary
law requiring an expression of the
voters on the matter of senatorship.
and constituting this mandatory
direction to the legislature to select
the candidate voted for by the
people, are attacked as in violation
both in the constitution of the
state and the United States, and
if the contention of the relator in
the case is sustained, there will be
no vote at the fall election on the
matter of senatorship, and the elec-
tion of a senator will go directly to
1.-The legislature as heretofore, with
out any preliminary direction by
the voters.
If the courts find the law al
right, the election will proceed as
had been anticipated before the ac-
tion was brought.
The members of the supreme
court, to whom the applications
for writs were presented, discussed
the matter for an hour or so before
announcing that the application
would be entertained and juris-
diction taken in the case, which is
the most important yet brought in
connection with the primary elec-
tion law. 7. F. Marshall and M.
N. johnson, candidates for the
choice of the voters of the elec-
tion, as parties in especial interest
in the case, will be served with no.
tice Of the proceeding and copies
of the papers in the case, and
will be represented by counsel
when the case comes on for hear
ing, which will occur 1000 o.
clock today.
If that certain clause of the pri-
mary law is declared unconstitu-
tional, it will then be up to the
legislature to elect Tom Marshall to
the senate, as the vote at the pri-
mary election showed that he is the
man the people want.

TAFT's SERVICE TO LABOR.
Destroyed the Old Ensli.h Law Az.
sumption that Union Labor IL q
COnsDiraCy.

O000TOy0O inc OAO BAA0A A9" ms
sumption that Union Labor IL q
Conspiracy.
(From the Emporia (Kan.) Gazette.
The simple fact is that no man has
done more to place union labor on
sound, square, law-abiding, respected
footing than William H. Taft BY his
decisions in labor cases. Both employ
era and employed have acknowledged
the justice of his decisions and learned
to abide by them, and to-day there is
not an intelligent worker or fair
minded employer who would seek to
abrogate them.
Judge Taft lifted union labor from
the doubt and uncertainty as to it,
rights which had before prevented and
gave it a standing which it has ever
since retained, and which has proved
under his rulings, secure against all
attack. The old assumption, derived
from England, that union labor 10 n
conspiracy, and that workers. could b.
prevented from leaving railway or
other employment at their will, was
swept away forever by Judge Taft 30
far as the United States is concerned,
and when an attempt was made, years
later, to revive the principle. Judge
Taft's decision was quoted successfully
by the labor side to defeat the plea.
Mr.. Taft was and is labors' friend,
because he is absolutely just, and
would no more permit wrong to be
done to the poorest laborer in the land
than he would to any one else. And
the honest, ]aw-abiding workers asks
and expects no more than this.

heartily approve Of them and will
recognize this further astonish-
ing fact that the principles laid
down by Judge Taft in these very
injunctions, which laboring peo-
pie are asked to condemn, are
themselves the very principles
which are now embodied In the
laws or practices Of every rsspon-
sible labor organization. The
principles which he therein 20
wisely and fearlessly laid down
serve as a charter Of liberty for
all Of us, for wage workers. for
employers, or the general public;
for they rest on the principles Of
fair dealing for all, Of overland

Why Not Raty at the General Election, Nov 3r 1908
NOAH WILL NOT HANG NOW

NOAH WILL NOT HANG NOW
Bismarck, Oct. I'D. M. Noah
will not be hanged tonight.
This was made certain Wednesday
afternoon when Attorney K. E.
Leighton Of Minot, acting in behalf
of r. S. Noah, brother of the con-
demned man, had filed at Minot an
appeal to the supreme court on a
motion Of new trial made and de-
MED in district court of Ward
county. This act as stay of ex-
ecution until the matter has been
threshed out in court. .
Warden Hellstrom of the peni-
tentiary, was notified Of the appeal
Wednesday night by j. E. Smith,
clerk Of the district court of Ward
county.
The condemned man upon being
told Of the effect of the appeal as it
related to his earthly career accept
ed the news stoically " and almost in
differently, though he is Beginning
to show outward appreciation Of
the efforts and sacrifices being
made by his brother in his behalf.
In the last week he had lost consid-
cradle of his debonair and has be-
come a great deal more serious,
though in no way showing the
white feather or weakening in any
way.
The scaffold has been built in one
Of the twine storages houses within
the penitentiary enclosure and has
been tested and found to work with
out hitch. It is practically the
same scaffold used in the execution
Of John Rooney two years ago, when
the first execution at the pen took
place under such dramatic circum-
stances.
The invitations had been sent
out to those who were to attend the
execution and the trustees of the
penitentiary were to have arrived
on No. l, tonight as witnesses and
court and other officials from Minot
were expected here tonight.
r. S. Noah, the brother of the
condemned man, received word
Wednesday from his shipmates on
the gunboat Galveson, which is on
the China station, that they would
raise$2, 600 to assist in his fight for
his brothers life, which greatly
pleased the sailor lad, inasmuch as
it showed the good will Of his ship
mates toward himself. r. S. Noah
is quite an inventor and has accept
ed by the navy department an auto
matte loading device for guns Of
over five inches in diameter and
hopes to reap quite a harvest from
the invention if it proves all which
the tests have shown it worh. He is
| working on several other devices,
Eamohg them one to Utilize all the
steam in urbine engines, and an
other defense, whereby the approach
of an enemies vessel may be de-
tected by means Of lights attached
to q line floating across the harbor's S
mouth just under the surface. In
order to come here at this time from
China he had to make applications
for a transfer to home station and
it took him nearly three months be-
fore he could secure it as the depart
ment wanted him on the other side.
This is why he came on the scene
so late, red tape even delaying him
20 days at Mare Island before he
J could resume his journey to this
