HE FAVORS GOVERNMENT
CONTROL, NOT OWNERSHIP.
Borden D. Whiting Praises Col
by-Martin Utilities Bill and
Society IndOrses 1t.

That the only alternative for the
people Is government ownership OF
public utilities. should the present eff
fort at government regulation fail, was
the theory advanced by Borden ID.
Whiting, Of the New Jersey Railroad
Commission, in a lengthy talk before
the New England Society of the Or
anges on Saturday night. Mr.. Whiting
said he did not want government
ownership, as it was not the right thing
to his mind. but he held that IL the
present try at government control was
to be a success all the interests af-
fected should work to secure the happy
| contamination of a plan that would
correct present conditions where they
are at fault.
The failure of government regula-
ton left, he. said, but two alternatives
an attitude of letting the utilities cor
porations alone, which no one believed
at this day in doing, or the ownership
of the utilities by the government.
II do not think this question is Z
political, but an economical and socia
one he said. "There will be no hop
or a fair solution of the problem 0
government regulation of public utili
ties until an adequate law is passe'
and the subject is absolutely remove
from politics and political influence
The special questions involved reduir

FEELING RUNNING HIGH
PEOPLE OF KERMIT AND NOON.
AN UP IN ARMS-REcENT AR.
REST CAUSED MUCH TROUBLE.

Feeling runs high just at present
between the people Of Kermit and
Nconan in this state, especially since
the fire which recently destroyed the
socalled Hoisington store building
which was being moved from Kermit
to Noonan. 1t seems that there had
been several buildings moved from
the one town to the other, and that
as result those people who pinned
their faith to Kermit became rather
hostile. AS was told of in the dis.
patches this week, the fire which de.
stroyed the Hoisington building was
OF incendiary origin, and that as a
result a merchant of Kermit had been
arrested Mr.. Manhart is the man
charged with arson.
Following the arrest, Kermit people
went to Noonan in a body, armed
for trouble. They have also attend
ed the hearing of the case in large
numbers.

Senator Lodge of Mass, today strong
ly endorsed the pending currency

it would be serviceable as an emer-

vent the enactment of a general cur
rency law which, he declared, he
hoped to see realized in the future
on the basis of a central bank.
Senator Paynter of Kentucky OPP
posed the currency bill in short
speech and especially condemned
the proposition to insure bank de-
posits. Referring to Senator De-
pew's recent remarks about might
riders and barn burning in Ken
lucky, both Senators Paynter and Nc
Creary of that state condemned such
lawIessnss and denounced the tobac.

can supplies for the Panama canal
to be carried in American bottoms
was again considered, but not act
ed upon, and at 4:15 p. m. the sen
ate adjourned.

court, is sending out the following
notice, which is self-explanatory:
Dear Sir: am directed by the court
to inform you that it has been agreed
that the coming Fargo and Bismarck
sessions of the March term will not
be held at the time. fixed by statute
but that on said statutory days an
adjournment will be taken and the
time for the sessions will be as fol.

All motions and everything to do
with cases for the March term will
be continued to the respective days
and then taken UP as originally not.
iced. No business of any kind viii
be heard on the statutory days for
the opening of the sessions.
This action is taken by the court fol-
the reason that there are still pend
ing from the September term large
| number of cases and it is the inten
ton of the court to dispose of as many
of these as possible, before hearing
| new matters. 1t is the view Of the
| court that earlier decisions will be
had by this adjournment, as nothing
can be gained by submitting new cas-
es which would necessarily have tt
wait decision until those now pending
are disposed of.

MEN AND AN INTERESTING
y DEBATE HELD

An excellent attendance was had at
the meeting of the Young Hens Ca

school hall. They listened to an ad-
dress by Gov. Burke that was replete
with advice and suggestions to the
young men of today.
The governor said that all the
crime and misery of the world today
comes from the violation of the laws
of God and Of man. He spoke to the
| members present of public speaking;
| it benefits not merely themselves, but
also their hearers and the public al
large.
| One of the chief reasons why young
men go wrong today, he said, was be
cause of evil company. That is why
he particularly upheld this society;
it provided the Catholic young MAI
with a place to spend his evening"
profitably with benefit both to him
| self and to his surroundings.

was greeted with applause, Mr.. Rho

IN The HOUSE

Washington, D. c., March H.
The postoffice appropriation bill had
rough sailing in the house of rep
resentatives today. It's progress was
halted at every turn by amendments,
upon which there were lengthy dis
cussions. Attacks were begun on the
section relating to pneumatic tube
service, which was forced to undergo
the change that extensions of such
service should not be confined to- the
several cities named in the bill but
that they should be made wherever
the postmaster general may think
best.
The house was a unit for withhold
ing a portion Of the pay of railroads
for transportion of mails until cor
rect system of weighing should be
established, provision to that effect
being incorporated in the measure,
and finally a vigorous but ineffect-
ual fight was made upon the propo.
sition to increase by two million dol
lars the appropriation for paying the
expenses of railway mail clerks while
travelling on the business Of the de,
partment.

A recent bulletin of the state agri.
cultural college explains the results
that have been attained with selected
and pedigreed seed, planted in vari-
Gus soils of the state and the results
carefully noted. Some experiments
with a special strain of fax seed show
ed an increase of two bushels to the
acre for a period of several years
over common seed. Similar results
have been obtained with oats and
wheat and other grains. The import.
ance of this lies not so much in the
result for the single acre as in the
the strain of seed through the
entire state to be improved by care.
full selection and grading. One selec-
ton Of wheat seed produced yield
thirteen bushels to the acre above
the yield for common seed in the
same land. This proves the impor-
lance of careful seed grading and Sc
lection and the practical work the
college is doing to improve the yields
of grain in the state. The farmer who
is interested in better farming should
obtain copy of the bulletin No. 70
from the state agricultural college.
The Taft managers feel that the
result of the republican national con-
vention is now so well assured that
the organization of Taft clubs, look
ing to the election of Taft as presi-
dent in the campaign of this summer
and fall, should be the next step to
engage the attention of republicans
and Taft adherents. Already Taft
clubs have been organized through
the country and North Dakota has be.
