THE OCEAN MAIL BILL

The Merchant Marine League of
the United States argues that if there
were no other reason why the ocean
mail bill, advocated by President
Roosevelt and Secretary Taft, should
pass the national house, as it al
ready has the senate at the present
session of congress, this could be
found in the greedy and defiant
European steamship trust which mo-
nopolizes our present carrying trade
to South America.
The European trust is lighting the
ocean mail bill tooth and nail, and
hopes that a vote can be prevented
in the house of representatives. For
years the trust has been described
and denounced by American consuls
merchants and travellers in South
America. Our consul general at
Rio de Janerio has said:
Since last August the freights
have been raised and lowered
and raised again to suit the pur-
pose of the trust, until they
have reached their present level

HARMONY

One of the leading Insurgent pa
pers of the state is satisfied there
can be no harmony at the Minot
convention if the three hundred
Stalwrt delegates will permit them
selves to be roasted to a brown turn
by the $50 Insurgent delegates, per-
nit an Insurgent national commit
teeman to be elected by Insurgent
delegates to the Chicago convention,
and then step easily and gracefully
backward off the earth, turning it's
green fields and pastures over to the
Insurgent candidates for office.
This is a very attractive program and
will appeal, possibly, to good many
of the Insurgent minority.
But unfortunately, or fortunately,
human nature is not constituted so
that the majority is inclined to re-
move itself from the earth, which is
the only abiding place of which it
has any very definite knowledge.
We confess we do not see the neces-
sity for a suggestions of .'roasts'
of any sort or nature as part of a
harmony program, and we are more
than sure that such course wauld
not be suggested by the Insurgent
candidate for Office, who might want
| all the party votes he would get at
| the fall election, in the event that he
obtained a nomination for office. II
is to be regretted that there are
some peeyish and perverse individu
ais, with very little conception Of
the duties of Republicanism, who
have permitted themselves to BIZ
/ worked up 40 frenzy where moth
ing but gore will satisfy them, fol-
4 there is always gore to be had fol
the asking.

The Forum hopes the new Demo
cratic daily at Fargo will have a run
for its money. Democratic dailies
in the state have not had profitable
experience, but with a national cam

differences within the Republican
party, there may be lubricant enough
to grease the wheels until after

Again, only a little while ago, this
official said:
Merchants complain that the
high freight rates obtaining on
goods from the United States to
Brazil generally continue to act
as a deterrent to trade in gen
eral. The conference rates,
(the conference is the European
steamship trust) on goods from
the United States to this part of
South America are nearly twice
as high as freight rates from
Asiatic ports to the United
States.
Brazil, the greatest country in
South America, is naturally great
market for American flour, provis-
ions and other farm products. A
few weeks ago these foreign monop-
olists, at meeting in London, or
dered an advance in freight rates,
thus described by New York ex-
port merchant:
The Lamport & Holt, Prince
and German line are in combina-
ton. Before the late agreement
the rate on cotton seed oil has
been as low as 9 cents foot to
Rio and Santos. 1t is now Is
cents to Rio de Janeiro and IA
cents to Santos. Lard was 10
| cents in kegs. now 30 cents a key
to Rio. Lard was 10 cents in
kegs a foot, it is now 20 cents at
Rio and Santos. Bacon and 9th
err special lines were advanced
in proportion. At present the
three lines, the Lamport &Holt,
Prince and the German Line
who are in the combination, do
not penalize any one who may
ship by the independent lines,
but there is no question that they
will try to do so as soon as pos
sible, as was done before.
President Roosevelt, in a recen
message to congress, said:
1t is not a good thing tina
American merchants and manu-
facturers should have to send
| their goods and letters to South
America via Europe if they
/ wish security and dispatch.
This foreign ship trust cannot b.
reached by American law; the In
terstate Commerce Commission ha
so decided. But it can be broken u
by an Independent American steam
ship service run in American inter
ests, over which our courts woul
have jurisdiction. The ocean mai
! bill before congress would Great
such Independent competition an
destroy this monopoly. But thi

President Roosevelt and Secretar
Taft, is being held up in the hous
4 committee on postoffice and pos
roads by the opposition of thre
middle western congressman, adde

Are the western people with tn
European trusts or with the nation

THE MERITS OF ADVERTISING

The merits of advertising have
been frequently and vigorously put
before the American people, and
candidates for Office in this year of
direct primaries are being impress
ed with, not only the merits, but the
necessity for advertising. Few, if
any, Of the people in the state but
gain Information Of current events
and knowledge of public men from
the newspapers, and the candidate
who had the advertising genius
and the purse-to present himself
in the columns of every newspaper
in the state would no doubt reach
the largest possible number of peo-
pie in his campaign for Office. Po-
litical advertising under the primary
law is an essential feature of cam
paign. There is nothing the Ameri-
can citizen likes better than person
al knowledge of candidates for Of
fee or of men in Office. They like
to know how he looks, what his
beliefs are, and as much about him
as can be cleaned from through
reading the public prints. That this
tendency of the people is appreciat-
the number Of papers in the state
that carry the likeness of this or
that candidate, declaration of his
principles, and the grounds upon
which he seeks nomination for Of
fee. But in big state, with hun
dreds Of thousands of people to
reach, political advertising of the
purely commercial sort is expensive
and to the man with no great
means this class of advertising
is out of the question, so far as
covering an entire state is concern
ed. But every other means of get
ting directly to the people is expen-
sive. Personal visitations and ad-
dresses, the renting of halls, the
distribution of literature through
Iuc 1udlIS, oil VI ILLS CdllS 1oI Gull
siderable expenditure of time ant
money This is one of the objection!
that has been often urged to a state
wide primary law-that for thu
candidate to get before all the people
of the state is a difficult and expen
sive undertaking, and that whil'
within limited areas like counties
it is impossible for all the voter
to form a pretty fair estimate o
the relative merits of candidates, il
an entire state it imposes a hi,
burden upon both candidates ant
people to keep track of each other
1t may be that if the state wide pri
mary law is continued, we shall de
velop political advertising agencie
that will guarantee to reach tn
the greatest possible number Of pee
pie with the smallest amount O
money.

prosperous citizens, but our space un-
fortunately is limited, but we will say
few words in regard to the contes-
tants that are now in The Heralds
contest representing Anaheim.
Miss Elizabeth McAuley, the Sunset
telephone operator, who, although of
a retiring nature. is possessed of the
hustling spirit which is characteristic
of Anaheim. AS will be noted today,
Miss McAuley leads in the entire dis
trict of Southern California, has cast
over $4,000 votes. this representing a
tremendous amount of energy and re-
source. Miss McAuley has actively
demonstrated that she is In keeping
with all of the residents of this city.
Her friends are actively working for
her interests and know no reason why
she will not be a winner of the grand
prize.
However, Anaheim never does any,
thing by halves. There are two other
contestants in that city who are striv-
ing nip and tuck to be the leaders,
their friends also saying that they will
make their contestant a winner. These
two popular contestants, Miss Becker
and Miss Marguerite India, are showing
their ability TO be leaders, Miss linda

The saying is that in Southern Califor-
mia water is prince. If that is a fact,
nature has placed the king in Anaheim.
The ten square miles of territory in and
about the city is within the district of
the Anaheim Union Water Co-Opera-
tive company, which furnishes silt
laden water from the Santa Ana river.
This company supplies this territory
with an abundance of water, that
makes night irrigation unnecessary. In
fact, this district lies over artesian
water, the source of which starts in
the snow-capped ridges of the Sierras.
Anaheim has fine walnut groves,
dairy farms innumerable; vegetables
from the light soil that few towns in
the United States can equal. Irriga-

crops of tubers. Tomatoes, sweet po-
