Fargo, N. D., June 23.-Today's ses-
sion of the Good Roads convention at
the A. C. armory was featured by some
of the best addresses on good roads,
the necessity for them and now to
cot them. that have ever been beard
in the northwest.
The attendance, as on the first day,
was not so large as was expected, but
what the meeting lacked in numbers
was more than made up in enthusiasm.
President Hunter and Secretary
Litton were in their places and after
a brief Introductory talk Mr.. Hunter
introduced as the first speaker of the
morning session r. M. Dolve OF the
department of agriculture engineering
OF the A. C. in this city. He took for
his subject, Good Roads From North
Dakota Soil," and he showed how by
proper working North Dakota gunbo
could make as fine roads as there are
in any state in the union by adding to
our raw material other material. His
talk was a most interesting one and
was listened to with the closest at
tentiOn.
S. Johnson's Address
President Hunter next introduced
S. Johnson, director of the North Da-
kota Library Extension and who is
also legislative reference librarian at
Bismarck. His paper was a most ex-
haustive one. He said in part:

much hesitancy, because no state has
had an efficient administrative system
under which road funds have been
expended. The want of competent
and skilled supervision of the work

SOME SLIGHT CHANGES MADE IN
OPERATION OF THE FARM
ING SPECIAL.
ALWAYS LARGE ATTENDANCE
NO ADDRESSES IN HALLS ARE BE-
ING MADE IN THE WESTERN
STATES.

IL. n. OoT9H, 0tdl SoIISSPo'oCuI'/
Billings, Mont, June 23.-The "bet-
ter farming special" arrived here this
evening, having completed the work
in this and ten other towns in the
Montana itinerary.
The train as now running, has been
somewhat changed from the manner
in which it was in North Dakota in
order to meet the changed conditions.
Also the work is handled differently
but not greatly. There are more
stops, as some days there are four
towns made in this state, while only
three were made in North Dakota.
There are no speeches made in
halls. The plan here is to first ad-
dress the people gathered around the
machinery car in the open air and to
explain the general work, then two
of the passenger coaches are opened
and after the people are seated in
these cars, lectures and demOnstra-
tons are made. There are generally
two or three short addresses deliver.
ed in every car during the stop in a
town. When the speakers are thru
in a car the people pass to another
car and by this means every person
can see what is contained in the diff
ferent cars and hear the various
speakers The arrangement is all
right and is giving good satisfaction.
The crowds are not so large as in
North Dakota or they could not be
handled as they are. But the coun-
try is not so thickly settled here
either.
An Able College Faculty.
The college is represented by a
large proportion of the faculty and
all the members are able men and
nearly all young men. 1t is a strange
sight to an eastern man to see so
many young men and so few even in
middle life on college faculty, but
we all know the force and power of
young men. Sometimes We may
think that young men lack in exper-
ience. Well. if they do, they more
than make up for that lack in vim and
in enthusiasm.
Montana is a young state and why
should her tea achers not be young, too?

Senator McCumber has represented
the state of North Dakota in the SEN
ate of the United States for eleven
years. He had practiced law since
1881, and at the time Of his election
was recognized 40 one Of the ablest
lawyers in the state.
He Is a candidate before the people
of the. state at the primary election
to be held the last Wednesday in
June, 1910, and. therefore, they are
entitled to know II he has discharged
the duties of this high Office in such
a manner as to merit their confidence
and justify them in re-electing him.
Important Measures Pending.
Senator McCumber has two very
important bills still pending. One is
the bill for federal inspection OF
grain, with which every one In the
state is thoroughly acquainted, and
the other Is for federal incorporation
of companies doing an interstate COM
merce business
While the first has not yet become
q law, the agitation Of the subject
and the marshalling Of vast array
of facts by Senator McCumber have
had already the effect Of greatly miti
eating past evils and have been worth
millions Of dollars to the farmers Of
the northwest. For the last two years
we have been securing better grades
for our grain than ever before. and
the amount Of dockage has grown ma
terially less.
About two years ago the senator
introduced bill prepared by him for

companies doing an interstate COM
merce business, whereby they were
subjected to the control and over.

authorized the railways to grant spe-
cial Or reduced rates to laborers so
that the farmers could get sufficient
help during the harvest and thresh-
ing season. This amendment passed
the senate, was defeated in the house
came back to the senate. and after q
vigorous battle was again insisted on
by the senate. In the committee on
conference the conferees left it out
Of the bill, but SO modified the other
portion Of the bill that it was con-
sidered that the authority was with
the railway companies to give those
special railway rates to laborers.
In this manner as in all others Sen
ator McCumber calmly and fearlessly
considered the said facts, wisely and
clearly looked far into the future
struck at the root of the evil and pro-
posed and passed direct legislation
which proved an effective remedy.
Pensions.
Senator McCumber became men,
Der of the committee on pensions
when he entered the senate and was
appointed chairman thereof in the
Fifty-eighth congress. With the thor
oughness characterizing his investiga-
tion of all public questions he studied
the pension problem. Not until he
took leading part in pension legis-
lation were the difficulties resulting
from inequality in pensions remedied
He applied the law equally to the pri-
vate and to his widow, the officer and
his widow, and removed the question
Of rank from consideration of eligibil.
ity to and amount Of pension. These
changes swept away the injustices
and Determinations which had for
years confronted thousands. To prove
honorable service and age is all that
is necessary under the laws intro
duced and passed by Senator McCum-

privileges through the railroads them
selves.
Third. That the trusts of this coun-
try are the real root of the. evil, and
that until we had legislated effec-
lively against them there would re-
suit no relief from discrimination In
rates.
Fourth. That granting the inter-
state commerce commission the power
to fix maximum rates would not AFFECT
the rebate system. because the rail-
ways could as easily avoid the rate
made by the commission as a rate
made by a board of managers, and
Fifth. That the only effective rem
edy would be to compel the giver as
we'll as the taker of rebate to pay
a penalty.
So convincing was his argument
along this line that there was written
into the bill which became q law a
provision to the effect that the giver
and the taker Of a rebate should pay
a fine of three times the amount Of
such rebate.
Senator McCumber's contention that
the way.to break the rebate system
was to get after the great trusts has
since been followed by the Roosevelt
and the Taft administrations. All of
the great prosecutions in the last few
years have been against such COM
panies as the Standard Oil trust and
the paper trust and other like trusts,
and with a fine carrying the repay
ment of $4,000 for every $1,000 re-
ceived in rebates, to be recovered in
a civil action, the rebate system which
allowed the great corporations to
crush out its smaller competitors is a
thing of the past.
In this same bill Senator McCum-
Der introduced an amendment which

Washington, June 1.-THE figure
experts of the government who have

for some time have announced that
manufacturers materials, including
crude and partly manufactured i'm

total imports, during the first nine
months of the Aldrich-Payne law.
This class formed 1915 per cent of
the free imports and 1854 per cent
of the dutiable imports. As compared
with the corresponding period of
1909. the percentage which manu-
facturers materials formed Of the
total imports showed an increase of
7.34, and as compared with the nine
year average Immediately preceding
1910 there was an increase of 9.77

REPUBLICANS To
GET TOGETHER
Near Defeat of Both Factions
in South Dakota to Close
Breach.

Huron, S. D., June 11.-Chatrman
Richards, manager of the progressive
Republican campaign, has received q
telegram from George w. Egan, in
dependent candidate for governor,
congratulating him on the manage
ment of the primary campaign and
conceding the denomination of Gov.
Vessey.
This settles the gubernatorial ques-
ton, and although twelve or more
counties are yet unreported, Vessey
will be from 1000 to $500 ahead.
Returns last evening increase the
Martin and Burke vote and indications
strongly point to their nomination.
While there is talk of Egan going
on the ballots for the November elec-
ton by petition, it is not believed he
will do so. 1t is understood his plans
decided upon.
One result Of the scare resulting
from Egan's heavy vote will likely be
the reuniting Of the Republican party
of South Dakota and the doing away
of factional fights. AS the ticket
which will be placed before the vot-
ers at the election in November will
be made up of both stalwarts and pro-
gressives, the factions will have no
great difficulty in reuniting and fight
ing upon common ground for the
cause Of Republicanism.
Stalwarts continue to claim the re-
nomination of Congressman Martin
and Burke and the impression is
growing, from what reports have been
received, that their claims are we'll
founded.

ed law amply caring for the widows
and minor children of the soldiers OF
all our wars. He has fulfilled the de-
mands of the Grand Army of the Re-
public and justice is now being done
the veterans, their widows and their
children.
His influence and work as chairman
of the committee on pensions has been
far-reaching. He has, in all cases
where just claim is not provided
for in the general law, introduced
bills to meet necessities, and has Sc
cured additional pensions for many.
He has helped private and officer
alike. From the outset he appreciat-
ed fully the need and deserts of the
soldiers, and stepped to the front with
practical means for their relief. The
soldiers of North Dakota and through
out the nation recognize this service
and count him their friend.
Special Session.
The first session of the Sixty-f1rst
congress was a special session called
in accordance with party pledges for
the sole purpose Of revising the tariff.
The senate adopted a rule to consider
no legislation except the tariff and
census during such session. Senator
McCumber's record, therefore, in that
session consists almost wholly of his
work connected with the Payne tariff
bill.
Finance Committee.
On March %, 1909. he was elected
a member of the finance committee,
the most important committee of that
session, for to this committee was re-
ferred the tariff bill and by it consid-
cred. The appointment Of the senator
on that committee evidences the high
estimation of his ability held by the
senate
