In commenting on the recent ut
terances of Henry Watterson, the
veteran editor, the Aberdeen News
says:
Henry Watterson is often wrong
but he is always interesting. So now,
when the country is congratulat1ng
itself upon the appointment of Gov
ernor Charles E. Hughes of New
York to the supreme court, Henry
Watterson sees in the appointment
the beginning of the Mexicanizing
Of the United States, with one Bwan-
ma Tumbo, portly master, mighty
hunter, shrewd politician and WELD
er of the big stick in the role of an
other Diaz. OF course, Mr.. Waiter
son sees the country's only hope
against the deadly designs of the
African hunter lies in return OF
the democracy to power, but the Am
erican people, while manifestly tend
Ing toward democracy at present,
have plenty of time for a sober Sec
ond thought before November, 1912,
and it is barely possible that neither
Theodore Roosevelt, nor a democrat,
will occupy the White House from
March 4, 1918, until March i, 1917"

n. D. CROPS ARE
ALL Doing fine

Fargo Forum: w. r. Porter, sup
erintendent Of demonstration farms
for the A. c., came in yesterday from
O. trip to the following places:
Larimore, Lakota, Hatton. Granville,
Rugby and Mohall. He states that
grain is coming fine, there being no
re-seeding necessary; wheat about
all sown and a good deal of it is up:
barley and oats seeding will be about
finished this week. a good deal Of
it being already sown. Some barley
was up before the storm, but was not
hurt.
Alfalfa has been frozen back a
little, but is now growing rapidly
Glover was not affected at all. and
the trees had not leafed out in this
section before the storm, bueSsare
now leafing .out quite rapidly.Ss
The high winds has caused some
drifting of soil, which is being pre-
vented on the demonstration farms
by sowing timothy with the grain
in order to>=form sod which will
hold the soil so it cannot be blown
about by the wind.

GRAND

People standing in the lobby and
out In the street to get chance tc
see the all star bill at the Grand was
the record last evening. The house
was packed at the first show and
large numbers stood for nearly hall
an hour waiting for a chance to gel
in the house.
Chas. Bennington, the one-legged
dancer, is a unique act and one that
IS making an immense hit here.
The double has a comedy sketch in
PRODUCING singing, talking and lit
tie dancing, that goes like wildfire
with the audience.
Tonight will be the last chance tt
see the present bill and it is expected
there will be another crowded house
so you had better come early and
avaid the rush.
The motion pictures are fine and the
Illustrated song is IS good as mai
ever been produced in the city.

be used as a campaign document and
will probably be sent out all over
the state. OF course, the idea of
the proposition is to show that Nc
Cumber: voted with Aldrich, but the
publication is good campaign ar
gument for Senator McCumber in
that it also gives the party vote.
In the first paragraph, agricultural
implements, McCumber voted NAY"
There were forty-four other repub-
licans voted nay and only three
republicans voted "yes,' with twen-
tythree democrats. No democrats
voted may with majority of the
republicans. In the next item there
were three republicans voted Eyes
with twenty-five democrats, but fifty
republicans voted may" McCumber
and forty-nine others. In the next
amendment twenty-five democrats
only voted YEA" and fifty-one re-
publicans voted may" LaFollette,
Cummins and others voted with Al
drich. In the next amendment there
were forty-one republicans and
twelve democrats voted "yea," and
eleven republicans and three demo-
Gratis voted may" In the next vote
thirty-five republicans and two dem
ocrats voted "yea,' and nine repub-
licans and twenty democrats voted
may"
All the. way through the list, when
McCumber is shown to have voted,
as a rule he voted with from forty
five to fifty other republicans and
voted for republican principles and
not democratic principles, and on the
other hand, all the way through the
article shows only from three to six
republicans voted with the demo-
Gratis.
This publication taken in connec-
ton with the statement made on the
floor of the senate last Wednesday
by Senators Raynor and Bailey,
wherein they stated that few men
on the republican side had combin-
ed with the democrats and asked
the democrats to vote for their mea-
sures and that they had voted with
them, but whenever there was a
democratic measure to he voted on
that was strictly democratic, these
men could not be depended upon,
that is, from the men who voted with
the democrats all through the tariff
bill. Senator Bailey stated that the
democratic party had no republicans
in it, whereas the republican party
had four or five democrats in it who
had voted with the democrats all
through, but that the democrats
now were tired of flirting with them
and they. either had. to come over
and be democrats or else the demo-
Gratis were going to quit them.

Nc(TyAI}ER AND THE TARIFF
BILL

Having come to the conclusion
that the most successful scare-crow
in this campaign-the best names to
conjure with, calculated to inflame
the prejudices of the peoDle-are
Cannon and Aldrich,' the insurgent
press and the insurgent campaigner
are working overtime in medicine
making with these names as the
principal dope.
This country never has had, and
never will have, perfect tariff
measure, but it is mistake
to charge that the present law is
worse than those preceding it. In
fact, it must be tried before we are
justified in too strongly expressing
our conclusions. 1t is certain that
President Taft is an honest, conscien-
tious, patriotic American citizen,
and one of the common people. He
was selected by Mr.. Roosevelt for
the most responsible and diplomatic
positions during his term as chief
magistrate of the nation, and if the
ex-president was not a good judge
of human nature, then the encon-
iums now being heaped upon him are
unworthily bestowed.
Mr.. Taft believes the present tar
if law, with the exception of a few
schedules, is a good measure, and
considering the manner in which
tariff measures are made, does not
hesitate to declare that it is the best
We could get at the present time.
It was good enough for Mr.. Taft
to sign and he declares it was good
enough for the republican members
of congress to vote for on it's final
passage. 1t contains the entering
wedge for more perfect measures in
the future-the provision for a COM
mission to obtain the information
necessary in proper tariff legisla-
tion-information as to the differ
ence in cost of production in this and
other countries.
Whether the failure of the major
ity in congress, in framing the pres
ent act, to place wood pulp on the
free list, has anything to do with
the cutlery and impassioned critic
isms of many of our most distin-
guished statesmen on the part of i
Golfers and other magazines and in |,
fluential newspapers, or not, may be '
question, or whether the adjust
ment of postal regulations on a
basis satisfactory to these publica-
tons, has to do with their temper,
certain it is that many of our best
citizens and most conscientious rep
resentatives are being unjustly criti-
cised in connection with the tariff
discussion.
For instance, in a recent issue of
the Fargo Daily News there appear
ed statement compiled for Golfers
as to the votes on the tariff bill.
From this it is assumed that it is to
