AN agreement between the demo-
Gratis and independent republicans upon
an income tax amendment to the pend
ing tariff bill is thought to strengthen
that proposition and give it a slight
chance Of adoption. 1t is regarded as
the most important development OF the
tariff situation within the last week.
notwithstanding this, there appears to
be little basis for the hope that any COM
binstion formed by the republican pro-
gressives can shake Mr.. Aldrich's con-
troll of a clear msjOritY in the Senate
Several votes were taken in the Senate
Yesterday upon provisions Of the metal
schedule, snd upon everyone Mr..
Alduch was seen to have the usual
majority. Since Mr.. Burkett wss
granted reduction in the duty upon
fence wire he has been voting with Mr..
Aldrich. Mr.. BoEah, another of the
progreasives, appears also to have de-
serted his former associates sDd to have
changed his views respecting the desirs-
bility of revision downward. Mr.. Dixon,
another protested progressive, Is voting
consistently with the chairman Of the
finance committee who is ready for any
emergency. He has a club and will use

"WhiteTashing" the whole affair.
Foreign interests in Turkey feared
that such would be the result when the

MED. The commission hiss accepted the
fsnsticsl Mohsmmeoans' claim that the
responsibility for the outrsges, which
claimed about 10000 lives. rests with
the Armenians, and it is the latter who
arc now being imprisoned for psrticipa-

The Asia Minor 6ssco shows that
locally the Young Turks are still afraid
OF the anger of the rssctioDsries. The
latter are still in an ugly mood on &C.
count Of the continued execution of the
muiineers. Only the fact that the
Young Turks deem these executions
necessary to preserve military discipline
prevents them from yielding to the
MOhsmmedan demsnd that the execu-
tons cease. A number Of the mutineers
under sentence OF death will be either
hanged or shot this week.

to contend successfully against two
one quarter factions, Jealous of each
other, and the democratic party of
the state, with which it is possible
to form a working alliance, than it is
to fight the combined progressive ele-

is believed that it is not impossible
that Attorney General Andrew Miller

the Independents" and some other
equally strong candidates will be Sc
cured about which to group a state
ticket and go before the people.
It is also stated that the plan con-
templates entering local politics in

nerable candidate with a long Office
holding record and using him as nu-
cleus of a gang to fight, draw about
them sufficient of the progressiVes
and any others possible to form a
fighting party to beat the progressive
element as now constituted. The
plan might be worked in this manner
in this county, modified in the next
county, and owing to certain condi-
tions, Numerically opposite in an
other county. Anything to secure
the election of candidates for the leg

ton of stalwart U. S. senators and

the progressive element has secured

HEALTH SOME EVILS REM AIN TO BE CORRECTED THE
DEPARTMENT IS WORKING WITH END IN VIEW At

The following from the pen of Prof. F. T..
Laid, pure food commissioner for the state.
appears in the current issue Of the Twin
Cities Commercial Bulletin:
Never has the state been SO free from adu'
terated food products as at the present time
Nevertheless, must be constantly on guard,
3or adulterated and misbranded products find
their way in short time into the state.
This seems particularly true in the smaller
back.towns, off from the main lines of the
roads. If one were to Judge from the condi-
SONS as we find them, one might say that
certain jobbers in the habit of sending
to these out-of-the.way towns products which
they do not sell on the main thoroughfares
throughout the state
There are still many products which are mis-
LANDED. A large part of these do not sho,
Is net weight or measure required unde
the laws of the state.
SHORT WEIGHT AND SHORT MEASURE.
In the judgment of the writer the American
people are being defrauded more today in short
weight and measure than in any other way with
regard to food products Packages which pur.
purt to 1e one pound often contain ten to
thirteen ounces, or in some instances fall but
an ounce short in weight, while gross weights
are sold net, in many products.
In North Dakota they are forced to show
upon their label the contents, nevertheless
such packages are frequently sold as pound
packages and come in competition with those
honestly put up by manufacturers who are striv-
ing to do what is right This is wrong, and
every state should have a law requiring that
each and every product shall show the true
grade and the true net weight measure,
before the American people are properly pro-
tected.
CONSUMER CANNOT WEIGH PURCHASES.
You may say that it is the fault of the con-
sumer; that he should weigh his own products
and see that he gets full weight or measure.
But there are but few persons who are in
position to weigh packages of goods as they
receive them, and to know how much is con.
tanned in the packages. Even though they may
have the scales, they do not weigh closely
enough to weigh products like spices, or mea-

There was scarcely can of tomatoes that

And so we might 60 through the list and

all this has been changed and we are only
too glad to see that manufacturers have taken
the firm stand they have against this class OF

and we hope they will also use their influence
to prevent the packing of the slops-without
proper labelling, for know of no better name

RURAL SCHOOLS ALL RIGHT.

Aberdeen News: The Minneapolis
Journal recently contained some
what pessimistic editorial upon the
present status of the country school.
A North Dakota educator takes ex-
ception to the article, and insists
that the country school has improved.
along with the city schools. The
close observer Of conditions in the
rural districts will be inclined to
agree with the North Dakotan's con
tention. While the country school
does not yet begin to be all that it
should be in the educational life of
the rural community, person who
received the rudiments of his edu-
cation in a country school needs only
to compare present conditions with
those of twenty years to realize that
a great change for the better has
been wrought.

that would have satisfied the people
so well that they would have been
glad to let the question rest Or
rather the party could have done this
had II not been so bound and tied to
the interests. But when mca find that
the reductions are without effect on
the prices that they must pay for
articles OF ordinary use. that other
reductions are reductions only when
compared with the outragcously in.
creased duties in the senate and house
bills; that the duties agreed on are
practically the Dingley duties, and in
some cases higher; and that the two
schedules In which they are chiefly
interested-woolen and cotton-are. If
anything, worse than those now in

gratitude, the work Of congress.
