When Andrew Carnegie. appeared
before the house committee on ways

the independents can afford to cut
their rates in order to give customers
the benefit of the dull times and !, to
keep their mills running Judge
Garys plea for a maintenance of a
high tariff on steel was that, while 1t

trust, it would cause great injury: to
the smaller plants. Which means that

TAFT's CABINET SELECTIONS.

:
z The one striking thing about Mr..
Taft's' cabinet selections; considered
as a whole, says the Review Of Re-
views, is the eminent lawyers prefer
ence for able men of his own profess
sion. Mr.. Knox was never politician,
and entered the Mckinley cabinet
purely upon his reputation as strong
lawyer. Judge Dickinson, Mr.. Wicker
sham, Mr.. Ballinger and Mr.. Nagel
have all made their careers as lawyers,
rather than as business men or ipoliti-
clans or office-holders. They are all
men Of the highest standing in their
profession. Those of them who have
not served as presidents of the Ameri-
can Bar association would5a.be regard
ed by their fellow lawyers as, we'll
qualified for that honor. Franklin Nc
Veagh began his career as a lawyer,
but owing to i'll health he abandoned
law and moved west. Even Mr.. Hitch
cock has been admitted to the bar. He
has not, however, practiced law and
has made his way in the public service
and in political life. The only two
members of the new cabinet who are
not lawyers are the followers froih the
present cabinet, Mr.. Wilson and Mr..
Meyer, both, of whom are highly. train
ed public men Of long ,experie1ce' in
Legislative and executive work. With
the personality of the new cabinet, the
country is not as yet we'll acquainted,
for obvious reasons. But there can: be
no doubt as to the tried efficiency of
each individual unit in the group and
the country will soon learn the person.
al traits of, these muchHrespected and
exceedingly capable members, Of the
learned profession of the law. iRrhese
men are of a high quality of patriotism
and public spirit, and they will serve
Uncle Sam as faithfully as f6ey have
ever in the practice of their profession
served the interests Of any private
client. Mr. Taft has many and serious
problems before him, and it. evidently
suits him to have. a heads of, depart.
ments men possessing great legal
knowledge and experience, who are
also capable in matters OF business.
A high standard has been set by the
Roosevelt cabinet, and the way has
been blazed in many directions. The
new department heads. cannot, easily
excel their predecessors.

DUTY ON LUMBER.

There is q bitter fight being waged
TO secure a reduction of the duty on
lumber. The lumber lobby in Wash
lngton Is the largest representing any
interest and it's members are doing all
IN their power to have the duty, rang
ing from 50 to $3.50 per thousand, re-
tanned. Every possible inducement ia
being held out to those who are to be
members Of congress at the special
session to be called this month bv
President Taft. The lumber represen-
tatives now boast that whatever the
lower branch of congress does-the
senate will not make a radical cut in
the duties. -" + RI
North jDakotans are more vitality in.
serssted ia the reduction Of lumber
than mose ether people. This state
has as little lumber as any section Of
the country. Every plank needed has
to be purchased from the lumber trust
and the exorbitant price is a heavy
drain on the purses Of the North Da-
kota builders. q Z ....5 81 &; 5i \. ' |:
The best way to secure 9 reduction
is to keep after the members Of con
gress. Frequent letters to the states
representatives will do no harm and and
they may do some good. The lumber
! industry is less entitled to tariff pro
lection than any other. If that indus.
try cannot stand reduction IN the
present tariff where can a downward
tariff revision start Fargo Forum. u

DEMOCRATS AND THE rARfiFE.

Party lines drawn at the special SEES
sion of congress will be hazy and in
definite, probably too little defined to
warrant dignifying with the 81 name.
For the tariff has ceased to be a party
issue, whatever the campaign: !; plat
forms have to say about it.. =. SC
A subtle argument is put forth by
the democrats in Washington They
say that in principle they are for a
tariff system for revenue only, but in
asmuch as the republican majority is
determined to maintain the policy of
protection it becomes every member,
whether democrat or not, to gain as
high a tariff as possible for industries
at home. The sophistry is apparent,
but it will not work against the politi-
cal standing and future of the con.
gresham who uses 1t. Constituents
cannot charge bad faith in the face of
a patriotic endeaVor to serve one's own
district or state. At the same time the

KNOX AND THE CONSTITUTION.

A point Of no little Importance was
overlooked by those who were yelping
about the constitutional fitness Of Sen
ator Knox for the Office of secretary of
state. This was that should these gen
tlemen have succeeded in, keeping Mr..
Knox out of the cabinet, it would have
cost the country many thousands of
dollars more for another to be named.
AS it is, the secretary of 'state will
draw a smaller salary than the assist
ant secretary, a smaller salary by
$4,000 year than the postmaster gen.
eral, the secretary of agriculture and
all the other heads Of the executive
departments whom he would rank in
the matter of succession should the
president and vice-president die.
r.' Fhere is q strange c9rflsion of poll
tical thought ia this country, a vacil-
lating and inconsistency that, at times,
is disgusting. For example, the min
GRITTY in congress has been complaining
of the rigidity of the constitution, pro-
nouncing it outworn, sterile, fitted to
conditions long passed. But let any
chance arise in which there is an op-
portunity, or promise of one, to put
the party of the majority in the hole
and there is a deafening believing
about the outraged constitution. We
hear then of the noble instrument
founded by inspiration, the warrant of
our liberties, the bulwark of national
greatness. When the supreme court
threw out the income tax law the
democrats would have torn the consti-
tuition to bits if they could have done
so. When that same institution pro.
nounced the Northern Securities COM
pany a violation of the law the demo-
Gratis would have voted the justices
inches in the Hall of Fame were the
power in their hands. Does it not
sseem strange, incidentally, that the
party so frantically indignant over the
::annullment of the income tax measure
has never attempted to introduce a
new bill which would be free Of the OBJ
jections pointed out by the supreme
court? ':}'i ~ = 'E''s; . =; ~ s.

ford can be duplicated in certain sec
tions in this locality, if orr farmers
will wake up and go after it. You can
not grow celery upon all kinds of soil,
but there is plenty of land to be had
here at prices ranging from IS to $40
per acre that will rival the $3.50 lands
of Sanford; / refer to that section of
land lying between Merrill, Miss, and
Hattiesburg. The level, fertile lands
lying upon either side of Leaf river
is ideal for celery culture; artesian
water can be obtained at a very shall
low depth for irrigation purposes, and
the lands can be easily drained, two es-
sentials to successful celery culture.
This section has many advantages not
possessed by the Sanford locality, a
few of which may be mentioned, such
as fertile lands. proximity to markets,
cheap lumber for bleaching purposes,
etc AS the Sanford crop is marketed
at a time before the crop would ma
ture here, our farmers product was
ready for shipment, and would find
bare market when their fancy prices
would be realized for their goods.
Some idea can be gained of the in
crease in shipments from Sanford
when it is knokn that in S99 there was
only four refrigerator cars shipped out
of that town. in 1908 1893 cars were
