80 PER CENT SHIPPED

J. H.Griff1n, division freight agent
of the Great Northern says that
thirty per cent of the crop raised in
this state this year has been shipped
to the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Du-
luth markets; Duluth getting the
biggest portion. Very little OF the
grain has been stored, according to
Mr.. Griffin.
Most of the farmers have just saved
enough for seed and have sent the
balance to the markets, the line ele-
vators getting very little, and ma
jority of the line elevators are empty
in comparison with former years.
Cars have been plentifulsand there
has been no crying need here the
cars have not beef, supplied. Very
few suffered as result of shortage
of cars and even whole train loads. of
wheat have been shipped from NUM-
ser of smaller towns. The average
daily shipment for the past week has
reached the 800 carload mark per day,
making the shipment during the past
week something over 10000, 600 busll-
els from this state.

Mr.. TAFT As AJupeE

Now and then, in public utterance
or private expression, William How
ard Taft discloses stubborn adher-
ence to,certain old fashioned notions
which is bound to engage the atten-
tion of intelligent voters of both par.
ties in all SECTIONS. The other day
in a speech at Athens, Ohio, he de-
clared that the function of the judge
on the bench was to administer the
law, not to make it. "When I am a
judge on the BENCH" he continued,
Gin so far as I can, I decide cases ac-
cording to the law and the facts, no
matter whom it hurts, because I be-
lieve that to be my sworn duty"
S There is something refreshing in
this old fashioned view of the real
duty of the judiciary. 1t has been
consistently maintained by William
Howard Taft. In, his varied service
as prosecuting officer, as Solicitor
General of the United States, as a
Judge of the United States Courts,
as Governor of the Philippines, and
as Secretary OF War, he has had the
advantage of a wider range of official
duties than any Of his contempor-
aries. The record show that in every
responsibility ofthose. important Offices
he was not only faithful but efficient,
prompt, impartial and true to him
self and the government. His tenn
perament, experience, training and
personal inclination would, if unre-
strained, call him back to the judi
ciary. AS he said in a recent address
"Next to the sacred s;of my fami-
ly life, the sweetest memories pos
sess are those of my service on the
bench"
AS a Judge Mr.. Taft stood for the
law as made by the lawmaking power
the people themselves. He had nc
frimesf for = seourt-ihade law" and his
interpretations were so just and true
| in their relation to all interests that
he never was reversed by a higher
court.
Mr.. Taft's old fashioned notion
ifthat the duty Of courts is to inter
pref and enforce the law, not te
make it, will reach straight to the
intelligence of thoughtful citizens
everywhere. An appeal to the hard
| common sense Of the people on such
an issue was never made in vain and
| never will be.

present could hear the speaker. He
was introduced by James Kennedy,
national committeeman. Mr.. Taft
is a big man physically and mentally:
and the people of North Dakota, who
saw and heard him. were won by his
unaffected, sincere manner. and proud
of the ability with which he discussed
the greatest questions that are in
teresting and vita]ly affecting the
nation today. ..-.
In his short address in the park,
Judge Taft said:
''Ladies and Gentlemen:-This is
indeed an immense crowd. I can
well understand now how it is that
each one of you can produce on an
average 81, 500 in produce each year.
And that there are $l25, 200, 900 in
the soil produced by people that do
not number 50O,0 Such state OF
existence is not found anywhere else
in the whole world. and I feel highly
honored, and congratulate myself
earnestly that l have so many here
to greet me this evening.
s'The Scandinavian, the German
and the Canadian bloods have so
fused themselves together in your
state that you have built up a mighty
community, one that is easily one of
the greatest and brightest ones in
the union.
''While / regret exceedingly, that
l am unable to talk to you in the
! open air for a longer time than five
minutes, ] want to tell you that l
am here as the representative of the
Republican party, and that as you
have understood and favored the
Roosevelt policies in the past eight
years. ask you, both democrats and
republicans, for your suffrages.
| eff you are all republicans l feel
that you Will give me your vote and
I ask you for it, but should you, who
! are democrats, feel the pulse of hesi-
fancy, it is all the more urgent that
you cast your vote where you know
the ability to carry out the Roosevelt
policies lies.
! 'sPresident Roosevelt has gained
the approval of the whole country
=, during his administration and I am
not vain when say that have been
associated with him for the past sew
ell years, and 1 feel that I am the
real heir of the Roosevelt policies
and you as citizens, would you not
rather entrust the duties of carrying
out these policies to one who knows
something about them rather than
to one who has had no actual exper-
fences?
Having made the record that the
republican party has made for the
past. twelve years, does it not stand
eligible to secure the support Of the
people again? The party is distin-
|guished for it's courage, its good
sense. it's cohesive qualities and
above all it's intelligence. With this
in view, it is the party above all
which will solve the great questions

Fargo, n. D., Sept. 29.-Notwith-
standing the cold disagreeable wealth
er the visit of W. H. Taft, the genial
republican presidential candidate for
the first time, ..to North DaKoJa re-
suited in his royal welcome. Special
trains from north, west and south ar
rived during the evening carrying
delegates from as far west as Dick
inson and Williston and from the
northern to the southern boundaries
of the state. By the time the special
trains reached Fargo in the evening
every car was Crowded to its capa-
city. The regular trains brought as
many more.
At $50 p. m. the special train
from Grand Forks .where Mr.. Taft
had spoken in the ::afternoon, ar
rived with the Taft party and was
greeted at the depot in Fargo by an
immense crowd who cheered Mr.. Taft
to the echo as he appeared to the
rear end of the car. "A salute of II
guns Joined in the cheers and the
procession that marched south on
Broadway was an inspiring one. In
addition to the sounds of welcome
from the people all the steam whis-
ties Of the city announced the arrival
of the train. The parade was an i'm
mense affair and the line of march
extended from the Great Northern
depot down Broadway to the stand
in Island Park, where the speaker
addressed an audience that members
of his party declared was the largest
that had greeted him at any place OH
his tour except at the twin cities and
Des ;Moines, ,,.Iowa. The demonstra-
tion was in reality a North Dakota
greeting, although the people at Far
go extended the greatest hospitality
and did everything possible to make
the visit success.
The parade was headed by mounted
soldiers, followed by the First kegi-
ment band of Lisbon, and carriage con-
tanning Judge Taft and party sur
rounded by members of Co. B.; long
lire of carriages and automobiles,
squads of torchlight bearers, the
Barnes County Taft club, the Slope
Taft Banner and delegation, the
Moorhead Club, the seven Ward clubs
of Fargo, several bands, the thous-
ands of marchers. Judge Taft re-
viewed the procession at the corner
Of Broadway and N. P. avenue, and
the immense crowd moved as rapidly
as possible to the speakers stand,
around which had been1hung numer-
Gus arc lights and near which was
the scene Of the big barbecue, where
generous hospitality was dispensed in
an; old fashion way. Judge Taft was
delighted with the arrangements and
Joined with the crowd in testing the
results of the managers efforts in the
barbecue line.
Owing to hoarseness the speaker
was not permitted to address the
open air audience over five minutes,
but announced that he would speak
at over flow meetings at the opera
house and armory. His address at
the opera house followed the short
speech In open air and Was listened
to by an aud dience that numbered
about 1000. The 4 audience that

P. NJ. Finis, who WAS arrested in

charge of burglary. and taken to the
Fremont county Jail by the Custer
county authorities for safe keeping,
has gotten himself into additional
trouble, it is said, on account OF the

A few days ago. in burst of con-
fidence, 1t Is alleged, he told Cum
