Warships Lacking Omcers,

An article in q current magazine
contains the statement, There is not
q single ship in the fleet today which
has her complement of officers to fight
to the best a~dvantage." This is not a
muck raker's loose talk, but the sane
language of a maj who knows his
subject, Rear Admiral Robley d.
Evans. Ships have been built faster
than officers could be trained. That is
the situation. Germany has double
the number of officers that we have
for practically the same service.
1t requires a continuous outlay of
money to educate and support a corps
Of officers. An appropriation for a
new ship is supposed to end the out
lay for that ship. Congress musters
courage to authorize q temporary ex-
penditure, but is reluctant to increase
expenditures of a permanent nature.
Yet the warships are of no use without
officers. Money put into them is
wasted if they are not to be properly
of1lcered when called into action.

PLEDGES or THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

The democrats Of the United States
senate are committed by their national
platform to an income tax, and they are
standing firmly and solidly up to their
party pledges. But this is not the case
with the republicans of the Aldrich sort,
and yet in all honesty they were com
snitted by President Taft to an income
tax. For in his speech of acceptance
made on July %, 1908, their candidate
For president said:
SIN my judgment, an amendment to
the constitution for an income tax is not
necessary. / believe that an income
tax, when the protective system of
customs and the internal revenue tax
shall not furnish income enough for
governmental needs, can and should be
devised which under the decisions of
the supreme court will conform to the
constitution"
When Taft suggested the adoption Of
an income tax in his acceptance speech
he committed his supporters to it. And
today the western republicans are
standing true to his acceptance speech.
It is the east-New England, in short
that is opposing an income tax. The

CAN'T BE SEPARATED.
Some LangdoH People Have Learned How II
Get Rid of Both.

Backache and kidney ache are twin brothers
You can't separate them.
And you can't get rid Of the backache until
You cure the kidney ache.
If the kidneys are we'll and strong, the rest
Of The system is pretty sure to be in vigorous
health.
Doan's Kidney Pills make strong, healthy
kidneys.
Jas. O. Reilly, living at 22S First ST.,
GrandForks, y. d., says: "a few years
ago | gave a statement telling the results
that had followed the use OF Doan's
Kidney Pills in my family, and can now
confirm what then said. My back had
been in q weak condition and the least
strain the muscles, caused q dull heavy
ache that greatly distressed me. My
kidneys also were in an unhealthy con-
dition, and my health was much run
down. Doan's Kidney Pills drovei the
enuire complaint from my system and
for that reason | am always willing to
endorse them"

Alaska wheat is being advertised
extensively in North Dakota, this spring
and is sold at $50 per bushel. Fabulous
yields per acre are claimed for it and it
Is said to be Of good quality. Comment
ing on this the agricultural college at
Fargo says it Is not worth the price of
the common fife, blue stem and durum
strains which we already have. 1t is
an old wheat that has been known for
years as miracle, Egyptian or seven
headed wheat. 1t has a branching head
from which it gets the name seven
headed. 1t is of the durum or macaroni
type AM. is of a poor grade. Prof. j. H.
Shepperd has a sample of it secured
from the fields of the North Idaho pro
moters by a resident of Cass county so
hat he is not guessing as to what the
grain is like. Do not throw away 500
by investing it in Alaska wheat seed.

A Limit to CORPORATE Wealth.

One of the big four insurance COM
panies recently ordered its agencies to
employ no more new agents. 1t has
reached the limit of business which
the law allows a company to write in
a single year-that is. S150,OO0.00O of
insurance. Prior to the passage of the
Armstrong law in 1906 the companies
could write policies to the extent of

The law limiting the growth Of in
surance wealth was the outcome of
revelations made during the investiga-
ton, showing that enormous insurance
profits were a source of danger. They
We're used to influence legislation and
to control other commercial activities.
1t was pointed out by farsighted cal
culators that in time. at the old rate
of accumulation, a group of compa-
MES would absorb nearly all of the
commercial wealth of the country and
dominate the chief activities. They
might even gain a dangerous influence
in the affairs Of foreign countries.
Restrictions on growth were demand
ed, and a stringent law was enacted.
