DRAWING THE LINE.

Democrats draw a distinct line be-
tween federal legislation which is sup
Elemental to state legislation, and that
form of federal legislation which would
substitute a national for a state remedy.
No national charter should be granted
to an insurance company, and no federal
supervision should interfere with the
exercise of the power now vested in the
states to supervise companies doing
business in such states. The democrats
would not take from the federal govern
ment any power necessary to the per
Torrance of its legitimate duties but he
recognizes that the consolidation of all
government at Washington would be a
menace to the safety of the nation and
would endanger the perpetuity of the
republic. He believes in the preserva-
ton of the power of both state and fed
eral governments, recognizing in the
constitutional division of those powers
the strength of free government. The
advocate of Capitalization is always
optimistic when the dangers of centrali-
cation are pointed out. He is not afraid
that any harm can come to the American
people, and yet no enthusiastic advocate
of Capitalization can talk long without
b~etfaying his distrust of the people.
Instead of accepting the theory that the
people should think for themselves and
then select representatives to carry out
those thoughts, he believes that repre-
sentatives are selected to think for the
people and he does not hesitate to build
barriers between the government and
the voters. While the advocate of
Capitalization is urging legislation which
obliterates state lines and removes the
government from the control of the
voters, the monopolist may, on the other
hand, hide behind the democratic theory
of self government and use this theory
to proven rational legislation which may
be necessary. The democrat who be-
lieves in democratic principles and who
wants to preserve the dual character of
our government must be on his guard
against both.

The following, altho coming from re-
publican source can mean no other than
Bryan. When in the course of time a
historian shall marshal the living facts
relating to the financial depression
which overlook the United States in the
year 1907, his generation will read his
conclusions and marvel at the truth
they reveal. And that generation with
truer perspective than that which is
suffering, will stand aghast at the tale
OF fragrant and Haunting thievery, of
reckless and criminal wrong-doing, of
wanton and brutal disregard of law:
and its amazement will be followed by
humble thanks to God for the Moses
which led their country, purified, un-
Injured, from the Stygian evils which
un<cruplous men had brought upon it.

Saint Paul indicates a heavy shortage in

for a total of 212, TIA bushels of seed out
of which only 1S4 farmers are financially

furnished by the Cananian department

school has received this week the
handicap banner, won by them at the
state inter-scholastic athletic meet held
in Grand Forks last summer. The
trophy has a prominent place in the

has something to do in getting the track
team out in training so early this spring

comes off at the Forks in June.
