WAR ON cRAFTERs.

The CRATER in the public service is
passing. AS the public comes to know
more about public affairs-and begins
to take a livelier interest in the con-
duct of officials-the chances for graft
lessen and the opportunities for the
CRATER decrease. The people are
awakening to the Importance of hav-
ing honest business methods and hon
est men in charge OF governmental at
fairs-as well as In commercial and
industrial lines. The day is coming
when there will be no place in the
public service for the political crook. ,
AT the annual session of the Ma
donal Municipal League, held at Buff
falo, N. z. methods were discussed
to circumvent the CRATER and to bring
into practical use a system of govern
ment that VIII disarm and destroy the
official who converts the public serv-
Ice into g private asset
The same sentiment against the
Erafeer prevails In all parts of the
country. and strong efforts are being
made to drive him out OF the public
service. Hts operations In municipal
county. state or national governments
have caused the people to sit I'D and
take notice. On every hand there is
demand for the elimination of the
CRATER.
County and municipal governments
are closer to the people than are the
state and national governments-and
because abuses are more evident In
them causes efforts at reforms to be
directed at them.

who had been caught taking hush
money from blind piggers. The other
was interested in litigation in Cass
county and his side lost out in the
supreme court. Tt is claimed that
this man spent $1,000 in Fargo alone
to defeat Judge Fisk. Money was
sent to other sections, but decency and
judicial integrity triumphed and Judge
Fisk stands higher today than he ever
has before in his splendid career as
Judge. The people would not be fooled.
The integrity of the supreme bench
is the safeguard of the people. The
people of North Dakota need Judge
Charles J. Fisk on the bench. He has
been worthy of every trust ever re-
posed in him. His greatest desire was
to interpret the law as he found it.
The victory of Judge Fisk has proven
that men of wealth, angered because
they could not over-awe the supreme
bench, have sought to secure revenge
and at the same time TO make cow
ards of other judicial officers, make
them fear the weight thrown against
an untarnished career. The election
has proven that honest judges will be
retained. The people will stand be-
tween an honest judiciary and all the
wealthy men in the state who seek to
pervert the ends of justice. Judge
Fisk's legal opinions will be quoted
in long years to come when all but the
hypocrisy of his unfair opponents is
forgotten

ARGENTINA WHEAT CROP.

Commenting Of the wheat crop oi
Argentina, The Minneapolis Tribune
has the following to say:
The wheat markets of the world
have been rolled by conflicting reports
covering the condition of the crop in
Argentina. which is just approaching
the harvest. Drought has prevailed
the greater part of the growing season
over a large area and there Is a wide
difference of opinion as to the extent
OF the deterioration.
The news has served only to cloud
the situation, but has been effective
as a speculative influence in the pit,
permitting a concentrated bull inter-
est the opportunity to indulge in man
ipuIation. That the outlook is less
favorable than il was a month ago
seems certain as foreign markets. hav-
ing more direct interest in the out
come OF the crop than the United
States, have been quite strong
In spite of liberal accumulation Of
supplies in Europe, importing coun-
tries continue to buy freely in the in
ternational market as IL requirements
L1iS year were 10 DC HluCn tdES6E imam
usual The potato crop in both Ger
many and France is short owing to
the excessive wet weather last summer
as well as wheat and this will increase
the consumption of bread stuffs. Any
setback to the Argentina crop might
be seriously felt later by importers as
that country supplies Europe the last
half of the crop season.
Under the stimulus of high prices the
wheat area increased in Argentina just
rs it has been enlarged in all surplus
countries. The 1910 production will
be cut Off of 100000 more acres than
we're sown in 1909. Expectations were
,or an exportable surplus Of 10000
700 bushels, at least, but these esti-
mates are now being reduced 10000
100 to 100000 bushels.
An outlet for the surplus wheat in
he United States is stiIl considered
necessary in order to check the down |
ward tendency in domestic quotations |
setback to the South American har-
rest would be likely to turn the for
ign demand to this country and re-
ieve the terminal markets of their |
Ieavy supplies.

THE SOCIALIST VOTE.

The election of a socialist to the
| legislative assembly in North Dakota
causes a great deal of surprise-but it
is in harmony with the record of other
states at the recent election. The So
cialists in North Dakota have been
very active and the members are in
dustriously engaged in extending their
ranks.
Aside from what may be said for or
| against socialism-the fact is apparent
that the socialist party has increased
in strength since 1908.
In the state of Indiana the vote of
the socialist party this year is nearly
double the vote of 1908. The vote cast
in the recent election in Indiana was
over $4,000, making the socialist party
the third ranking party of that state
The socialists alone made gains in
Indiana. the total vote of all parties
being S2.7a7 less this year than it was
in 1sOS-the democrats losing 39,O72
and the republicans losing 51,931.
Charles Edward Russell, socialist
nominee for governor of New York,
polled more than $1,000 votes. Two
years ago the socialist vote in that
state was $4,000.
In Wisconsin the socialists poIled
$4,000 votes, elected the first socialist
congressman in the countrys history
missed electing second by only 800
votes, and swept Milwaukee county
in the local elections.
In California socialists increased
their vote from $4,000 to 10000 In
Los Angeles alone they cast 10000
ballots.
1t should be borne in mind that the
socialist vote as cast is not by any
means its full strength, for thousands
Of that party vote with the other par
ties. They do this when they feel they
have no chance to win.
The growth Of socialism, however,
Is mystifying and appalling to those
who know nothing of the principles
OF that party. 1t is astounding to
those who do not understand the trend
Of the times to realize that there are
So many socialistic-i inclined people In
all the walks of Iife-and more as.
founding still would be the result if
the sum total of that vote could be or
ganized and cast in one direction at
the same time
The first socialist ever elected IN
congress is Victor L. Berger of Mil
waukee, who was elected at the No
vember election. The first socialist
meeting ever held in the state of wis
consin was held in his back yard.

De THANKFUL.

There are few citizens OF North Da-
kota who have not something for
which to be thankful every day of
their lives-and all should feel espe-
cially SO tomorrow-the day set apart
by custom for general thanksgiving.
The sturdy New EngIanders builded
well when they established the custom
of returning thanks at least once a
year-in gratitude for the good fortune
and blessings showered upon them bv
God and nature.
The day has by common consent as
sumed a deeply religious phase. It is
regarded as the sacred holiday of the
year and there has been a widespread
tendency in recent times to abandon
football games and other forms Of
sports on that day-to leave the oc-
casion free for the devout who wish
to return thanks for the good things
that have been. theirs.
The poor should not be forgotten bv
those who are more fortunate. Be
fore you eat tpmorrow-if there is
some poor family that you feel
may not be able to enjoy a good meal
-see that they are supplied
The day win also aside from its
religious and charitable observances-
have q social side. There win be
many party dinners. Many people
win entertain friends who board at
hotels and restaurants and do not have
the opportunity very often to enjoy a
home dinner.
There are a lot Of young men and
women, some Of whom are away from
their homes FOR the first time, who
will greatly appreciate an invitation
