STANLEY MAKES A
STRONG POINT.

DeLaMere, N. D., Dec. 20.-To The
Forum: Will we ever learn. it Is per-
fectly plain to the most casual observer
that the real reason why the eastern
part of the country the home of trusts
is able to manipulate national legisla-
tion in its interests and against the in
terestshof the west is because of keep
ing control of the committees in both
branches of congress and they do this
by re-electing their old members, and
thereby having their own men, not only
chairman but a majority OF all the
more important committees. In lookinr
over the list you will see this to be true.
two years ago North Dakota made the
fatal blunder of retiring the Hon. III. G.
Hansbrough, who was chairman of sew
eral of the more important committees
and well up on others. He had made
a splendid record and was considered
one of the leading members OF the SEN
ate. A position, no matter who the
man may be, can only be attained by
long service, and now 1t looks to the
writer as though the trusts and trust
subsidized papers in connection with
a few dissatisfied and disgrunted
would-be Office holders, are determined
to repeat the blunder by retiring the
Hon. r. ]. McCunber. who by his un-
firing and efficient work and length oi
service has about got up to where Mr..
Hansbrough was and has every pros
pect of going still higher. IL we have
the sense to retain him.
Query: Will we have the business
sense to re-elect him or viii we play
at
corporations OF the east by sending
some new man? Shall we voluntarily
let ourselves back twenty years, OF

FACES SERIOUS CHARGE
Saline Man Arrested on Charge That
He Put Scrap Iron in Grain
Shocks.

Granville Herald: An information
was sworn out Saturday by w. F.
Becker charging e. w. Vincent of Sa-
line, with being the party who had
placed pieces of iron, horse shoes,
powder etc, in shocks of grain where
Becker's threshing machine was in
operation in the Saline neighborhood
last fall. It viii be remembered that
mention was made in these columns
at that time about Mr.. Becker being
compelled to suspend his threshing
operations on account Of these articles
being found in the shocks. Mr. Vim
cent claims to be innocent of the
charge and says 1t is all a piece Of
spite work. He went to Towner on
Monday and gave bonds for his ap-
pearance at the preliminary hearing to
be held on Jan. 8, 1910.

INTRODUCED IN

Washington, Dec. 23.-A bin has
been introduced by Representative
Martin extending the time in which
settlers on public lands in the Dakotas
and Wyoming may make Improvement
on their entries. The bin applies only
to settlers who would be required to
build during the winter months. Com
plant is made that a hard winter has
set in throughout the northwest, and
that it would work a great hardship
on settlers to be compelled to perfect
their claims any time between Decem-
Der and May. The Martin bill permits
settlers to delay making improve
ments until May 1.

Her hair? Well, you see, she's cut 1t

Special to Times-Repubncan.

Special to mes-Republican.
Sioux City, June 17.-Several weeks
observation of the work Of congress
relative to the tariff has convinced
Herbert Quick, associate editor of La
Follette's magazine, that the senators
and congressman from Iowa and Wis
consin form the real hub of the insur-
gent wheel; that Dolliver, Cummins.
La Toilette and Bristow are the SEN
ators bearing the brunt of the strug-
gle; that Hubbard is the real leader Of
the insurgent movement in the house
and that among all of the new men
in the house those from Iowa, Kendall,
Good, Pickett and Wood, are the
strongest; that the tariff bill as APP
proved by Aldrich will be carried and
that the bill is the worst that can be
imagined.
Mr.. Quick has been in New York and
Washington in the interests of the
magazine of which he is one of the
editors and arrived at the national cap
ital shortly after the lines had been
formed on the tariff and the group Of
progressives had developed their policy
of demanding revision downward, the
opposition to Cannon in the house and
Aldrich in the senate.
"Hubbard's influence has made an
impression on all in congress-" said
Mr.. Quick. 1T is strongly felt in the
house and has had its effect in the
senate. I think that Hubbard's calm,
unhesitating and steady adherence to
the progressive policy has had very
considerable influence on the progress
sive group. He is one OF the strong
and we'll grounded men. And want to
say that there has not been in this CEN
fury such group of men as that rep
recenting Iowa and Wisconsin. They
are the big, strong men of congress
Cummins and Dolliver in the senate
have been especially strong in that
progressive movement"
Praises Work Of lowans.
Great is the admiration expressed
by Mr.. Quick for the stand taken by
Cummins and Dolliver, of Iowa; La
Toilette, of Wisconsin, and Bristow, OF
Kansas, and he predicts that the "po-
sition" taken by them in the present
fight will have a big influence on fu-
ture developments.
Those four fellows are bearing the
brunt of the battle" emphasized Mr.
Quick; "they are consistent and eve,
ready crowd of men, and they are fol-
the most part going it-alone, but nov
and then they have efficient aid from
Beveridge, Borah and Coe I. Crawford
Crawford, says Mr.. Quick is max
ing a good impression in Washington
and is being recognized as a man Of
considerable ability.
Mr. Quick arrived In the city and
will remain here for few days ar
ranging to move to his new home ir
Wisconsin. Mrs. Quick and their sor
Edward will accompany him when he
returns to Madison within a few

posed Of dealers in the states of North
and South Dakota and Minnesota 1t
has a membership OF $500 coal dealers
In those states. The Northwestern As
ISOLATION agrees to assume the $500
indebtedness Of the Iowa and Nebras-
ka association and to do its utmost
to work for the interest Of its mem
bers. Thru the consolidation, the
Northwestern Association Is given a
membership in excess Of 5000.
Lack OF interest in the association
by the coal dealers In Iowa and Me-
braska and the fact that they were
willing to contribute only their annual
dues to promote the work Is given as
the reason for the consolidation Of the
two associations. In his report to the
association Secretary H. l.. Laird OF
Marshalltown. stated that majority
of the work done last year was at the
expense of the officers OF the associa-
ton. He also stated that the mem ers
gave no more freely of their time than
they did with their money
