BLAMING THE FARMER.

North Dakota farmers win be in
terested to know the attitude OF the
editors OF the milling organs-also that
Of the eastern editors on the connec-
ton Of the farmers with the present
high prices. The Post, published at
Hartford, Conn, has the following:
Now comes William c. Edgar, edi-
tor Of The Northwestern Miller, with
claim that the farmers have done
IT," Editor Edgar contends that the
farmers have the biggest and most
perfect trust the world has yet known,
and that they are working it overtime
to their own personal advantage. He
says they won't raise wheat. and they
won't allow anyone to bring 1t into the
country. Then he launches a lot of
hard 1abs against the 25- cent tariff on
wheat. saying that If that were lowered
and wheat admitted free. there would
at once be q decrease in the price of
-four, and a consequent increase in the
supply, or the other way round-an
immediate increase in the supply, with
| a consequent decrease in the price.
If this is true. let us by all means
| take that rs cents a bushel off Of
| wheat and let the great surplus Of the
| Canadian northwest, or any other
place, come in free. The government
ought to take the tariff off Of every
commodity that can be proven to be
in a class similar to that claimed by
| Mr.. Edgar for wheat. For years we
have protected sheep and wool, and
after almost two decades find the whole
! thing was delusion and a snare. That
we did not protect sheep is patent, for
according to figures, there are fewer
! shaep now then there were when the
tariff went into effect. We have been
| protecting wheat for a. long time, and
now find that, instead of the farmers
raising more wheat, they are turning
| their attention to other things an6
letting the wheat business go to tht
bad.
Wonder If the American people have
been having beautiful dreams for 10
these many years, and that they art
only to awaken to find the reality
something Of which to be afraid. I
we have, we should wake up righ
away and meet the exigencies of the
case squarely and fairly by putting
things on an altogether different basis

TWO KINDLY MEN.

Fargoans have been called upon this
week to attend the funerals Of two
pioneer residents of this county and
city. A S. Hopson, who was almost
SO years of age, had resided in Fargo
for thirty -one years. He had already
been a pioneer of Minnesota befN"e
coming to this state along with Tie
early settlers. He had given many
years service to his country, having
been a veteran of both the Mexican
and Civil wars. Mr.. Hopson was a
genial, kindly man, with a CHEEKY word
for his acquaintance.
~. S. Landers. another pioneer resi-
dent of this section, has been gathered
to his fathers-after reaching an ad-
vanced age, though he not lived as
long as Comrade Hopson by a score OF
years. Mr.. Landers was a well known
farmer till he retired from active work
a half a dozen years ago. Since then
he has resided in Fargo and added tc
his already large list of personal ac.
quaintances. He was a most enthu&-
iastic Mason and a member of many
of the higher bodies. He had a kint
word for every one and was popular
wherever he was known.
The deaths of these two veteran,

This play of the pioneer west has been
adjudged one of the best stage portray
ais of the cattle country In the days
when cattle raising was the chief in
dustry. From the first to the last
scene the play teens with western
ranch atmospheric there is a well of
humor to cause laughter, most mag
netic touch of love and scenes Of al
most painful thrill. Few dramatiza-
lions on the stage today more closely
follow the original story and yet main
tain the thread of the plot in such an
absorbing interesting manner.
