Carpio News:> 1t is said that the in
surgents have already framed up a
state ticket. Wasn't it the insurgents
who wanted the primary election law
few years ago, SO that frame-ups and
states would be done away with and
the people allowed to pick their own
candidates for office? The difference
between the insurgents and stalwarts
in the state Of North Dakota is the diff

from all rights and privileges of the
ministry, the decision rendered at the
church trial forbids him to preach
and commands him to leave Fulda,
Mimi, at nee The presbytery ruled
that during the next twelve months,
should he wish to do so, Foster
would be allowed to present to the
Presbytery any evidence he may Sc
cure to Offset or disprove the charges
of which he has been found guilty.
After acting as pastor of the feder-
ated churches at Valley Springs for a
time, the officers of the church heard
some of the things about him which
were brought out in the church trial,
and as a result they compelled him
to resign the Valley Springs pastor
ate. This was last year. At that time
he voluntarily promised he never
would attempt to preach again, but his
promise IA broken.
The decision of the presbytery, COM
posed Of men who had no personal
interest in the matter beyond getting
at the truth and maintaining the
purity of the ministry, is a fnil and
complete vindication Of the action
taken by the members of the federated
churches at Valley Springs when they
forced Foster to tender his resigna-
ton and leave Valley Springs.

THE CONSOLIDATION OF COURTS.

The laws delays, as Judge Simpson
of this city, recently %contended, may
be mostly G. matter Of the deficiencies
OF individual officers of the law rather
than of the law itself, but when this
branch of the question is examined, it
is seen to have extensive ramifica-
tons. There is the fundamental ques-
ton, What is a court and how should
it be organized?
The idea which seems to prevail
ing to answer that question. Through
the bar association and the Univer-
sity Law school there has been raised
a committee which is making a cat
alogue Of all the courts in the state.
1t will strive to collect full informa-
ton as to how they are brought into
being and the kinds of jurisdiction
they have. When that is done, the
committee will take ample time to
study the facts with the purpose of
seeing whether there is not just cause
for entirely revising the method of
establishing courts.
The ideae which seems to prevail
though nothing has been formulated
yet, and nothing will be for two or
three years-is that there should be in
the state one coutr Of justice. 1t
should be the integral thing. All
judges should be a part Of this court,
and all jurisdictions flow from it or
from the court of first resort, where
complaints are lodged, to the highest
branch where appeals finally end.

FIRE AT BROADLAND.

Huron:-A fire at B%roadland, fifteen
miles north of this city, Monday, de-
stroyed property to the amount of
about $4,000. The heaviest losers were
X. b. Hatfield q company's drug store,
in which the fire started. The loss on
stock is $4,000, with insurance of ST.
$50. The building was owned by r.
j. Mahaffy, as was also the building
adjoining, which was occupied by Ed
Terry as a pool hall. This building
was also burned, but the three tables
were saved. The loss on the build
ing and contents is about $1,000.
A cottage occupied by Mrs. f. l..
Housman and Miss Lillian Jeahn, was
destroyed, worth about 500; insured
for $500.
This fire removes all the business
buildings on the south side of the
main street Of the town, the hotel
having been burned a few months
since.

Under the present district system
there is a paucity OF business in many
districts, while in others there is a
congestion of litigation. If there were
n court. its judges would have
jurisdiction anywhere in the state, and
might be assigned anywhere they were
needed to try cases.
If this idea OF a single court were
adopted, it would require some read
justment of the OF selecting
judges. The judges would need to be
as nearly equal as possible in ability,
learning and character. Whether
these qualifications could best be
obtained by a system Of appointments
or by statewide elections has not
been considered. All that has been
done is to resolve to collect the best
obtainable evidence upon what are
the prime causes OF slow justice and
to make recommendations that will
reach the root of the evil.-Minne-

DIVINE FOUND GUILTY.

Sioux Falls:-Found guilty of gross
immortality and suspended from all
ministerial rights and privileges, is a
decision which has been rendered as
the result OF a church trial held in
Sioux Falls by the ~presbytery of the
Sioux Falls district.
The defendant in the case is Rev.
Frank Leighton Foster, for a time pas
tor of the Federated Free Baptist and
CONGREGATIONAL churches at Valley
Springs, near Sioux Falls, as we'll as
pastor at different times of churches
at other places in the state and north
west, and who is now at Fulda, Mimi.

had claimed that he already was or

was acquainted with Mr.. Fosters rec
ord at Valley Springs, called the at
tention of the committee on ordina-
ton to the Foster matter, as it had
come before the standing committee
at Valley Springs, and the presbytery
decided to make a full investigation
of the case and decided whether 4

April and proves that the presbytery

Fulda, Mimi, where Mr.. Foster
made his headquarters while having
two other fields, is within the boundar-
les of the Sioux Falls presbytery, and
this is why the church trial took
place in Sioux Falls. The moderator
of the meeting was Rev. Mr.. Horton
of Valley Springs, while Rev. A. c.
McCauley of Bridgewater, was the
scribe. Rev. Mr.. Bates of Salem,
acted as prosecutor, with Rev. F. l..
B%arackman of Sioux Falls, looking
after the interests of the accused
clergyman.
One of the charges against the de-
posed clergyman is that he deserted
his wife in New York state and eloped
with a Mrs. Minnie Rhodes, also Of
New York state. Other charges, made
by persons in towns in the east and
elsewhere where Mr.. Foster had re-
sided, went before the committee and
received consideration. Following
the disappearance of himself and Mrs.
Rhodes from a little town in the En-.
pire state, the church with which he
was then connected expelled him from
it's membership. This was in the sum-
mer of 1906.
One of the charges made against
Mr.. Foster in one of the sworn state
ments which was before the commit
tee which investigated the charges
against him was that he was entirely
too familiar with the young girls of
mis- congregations. Evidence was Sc
cured from towns through
out the east and in the middle west.

Paul Stanich, 37-years-old, was
picked up unconscious on the West
Texas coast near Point Isabel Thurs
day night and taken to hospital,
where he revived and told a story
of having been carried across the
Gulf Of Mexico on a piece Of wreck
age about ten feet long by four feet
wide. Staunich said he had been
without food or water since early
Monday morning, when the fishing
schooner FlOntano, of whose crew ne
was a member, was wrecked about
a hundred miles southeast OF Tam
pico, Mexico. There were ten men
on the schooner, and he doesn t
know what became Of the other nine.
Clinging to piece of wreckage
when the boat went to pieces in
storm Stannich was CARRIE out into
the gulf and at daybreak was out

passed, but didn't notice him He
kept his lips moistened with salt

shoes. He was cut and blistered
about the head and body and lost
consciousness few hours before his
craft was beached.

VALUE OF COTTON CROP.
Interesting Facts Presented by Gov.
ernment Report.

Interesting facts for the farmers
are contained in bulletin lately is
sued by the Census Bureau on the
value of the cotton crop of the past
year together with other valuable in
formation in connection with the
seasons production.
The estimated value of the crop
of the year reached the sum Of
sSl2;0S9,O00 as compared with
s681,23O,0O0 for the preceding year.
This difference in valuation was due
to the higher prices at which cotton
was sold and not to larger produc-
ton. The value increased 1872 per
cent, while the product, expressed in
bales declined oil per cent.
Cotton, valuable as it was to the
Southern planter, was worth only
about half as much as the corn crop.
1t was worth about $100,000,000
more than the wheat crop, and some
$3.50, 100000 more than the produc-
tion of oats, leaving corn king. among
agricultural products for the year.
Speaking of the value of the crop
to the individual, the bulletin says
the planter who received about s604
for twenty bales in 1898 sold the
same number of bales last year for
s1.6S6, which means much in the
general progress and prosperity OF
the South. The value of bale of
cotton, including the seed, was $S4.-
81 in 1909, as compared with S3O.-
80 in 1898. The lowest price for
cotton was recorded in 1908, when
the average for the year was 4.9,
compared with 1923 cents in 1903
The average between is about IL
cents, which was crossed in the year
1907.
It is pointed out that the produc-
ton of Sea Island cotton did not
change materially in 1903 as to the
amount produced or the price. This
is grown only in limited area, and
the bulletin makes a strong argument
in favor of increased acreage, so as
to compete more fully with the Egyp-
tian product. It is said that many
parts of the South are favorable to
the production Of long-fiber cotton,
much of which sold last year at 80
cents to the pound. The bulletin
shows that the Southern planters
could much improve their financial
condition by resort to raising Sea
Island cotton:

The Great Value of the South's Sta
a pIe-to tEieNNation.

80 ple-to e@Nation.~
From official sources running back
to 1880, the Southern Commercial
CONGRESS has correlated statistics
that show the dependence of the ma
ton upon cotton in maintaining the
credit of the United States in world
commerce.
The total value of all exports from
1870 to June 80 1903 was S47,-
991,224,405. The total balance in
the favor the United States during
this period has been s6,436, ,566.
The total value of raw cotton export
ed during the same time has been
s13,59S,353,0S6. These figures are
for raw cotton alone and are low val
uation. They leave out of conside-
ration manufactured cotton and cot
ton seed products.
The purpose Of the compilation
is to life cotton products out of con-
sideration as solely Southern inter-
ests and give them their rightfuI
place as National; for without cot
ton the nation would appear a debt,
or, instead of a creditor, OH the

of S7,000,000.
