AS A result of a meeting of the state
board of railway commissioners held at
Minot a week ago several of the stations
along the Great Northern lines in North
Dakota, which were closed April LIST
have been re-opened. A number of the
stations which have been closed do not
show receipts enough to warrant the
continuance of a station under Section
1905 of the Revised Code, which provides
that & station shall have at least $4,000
90 of outgoing freight and $4,000 of in
coming freight before the continuous
maintenance of a station can be COM
PEELED. AT the meeting in Minot the
railroad commissioners required the
maintenance of all stations that come
wiihm the law and also prevailed upon
the '~tficials of the company to keep
OPP ~ ii number of stations where the
legal enforcement of the open station
could not have been insisted upon.

WHENCE the MONEY?

The powerful interests which are now
attempting to control both national
conventions do not ask for instructions,
for instructions imply that the voters
are in control. All that predatory
wealth asks is that the delegations shall
be turned over to a few bosses to be
used as circumstances require. These
men who are so ready to put up money
to control conventions, but who would
not subscribe a dollar to elect a real
democrat to office are not concerned as
to the candidate, provided he will accept
their aid and put himself under obliga-
ton to them. A number of democrats
have been approached and offered this
support. but nearly all have refused,
knowing that no man, however good his
past record, can stand any chance of
winning if he is handicapped by the
support of the men who have made
government an asset in their business
and who seek to control legislation for
Sheir own pecuniary advantage. There
was a time when the voters could be
fooled, but they have learned by a sad
experience and know that a candidate
can bejudged by the company he keeps.
Whence the money is a question which
is being asked with increasing emphasis
and the answer to it is a death blow to
everyone in whose interest the money is
contributed.
