Is Macaroni Wheat
Dry Weather Crop?

The Independent understands that
the farmers who grew macaroni or
Durum wheat this year are complain
ing, because the wheat did not prove to
be good dry weather crop. They say
it is short and did not fill out as we'll
as the other varieties. Now, the In
dependent has always understood
that one of the reasons that this kind
of wheat was introduced in this coun-
try was because It was thot that it
would Withstand the dry weather,
and if this proves to bo not the case,
then It will be we'll for the farmers to
quit sowing this grain altogether.
What We want our farmers to do,
those who have grown macaroni
wheat this year, lie to notify us Of tho
results obtained from this crop, and
compare it with the yield Of tho other
kinds Of wheat. The Independent
in this way we can do the farmers a
great deal of good. Macaroni wheat
sells for several cents a bushel less
than tho other kinds. and II it does
not prove to be as good q yielder, or
better than the other kinds, then It
will be we'll for the farmers to do
away with the growth Of it altogether.
We will appreciat any Information
we can receive from you.

1t is q favorite trick OF the demo-
cratic opposition to declare that re-
publican candidates for governor are
not independent, that some mysteri-
GUS power controls or will control
them, that the people will not have q
square deal and that the only way to
salvation lies through democracy.
This is the kind of campaigning
that seeks to disregard plain and sen
sIble issues and create prejudice.
This is the kind of campaign that
has been started against c. A. John
son, republican candidate for gov
ernor
MIR. Johnson meets this issue plain
" AID squarely. In recent letter
addressed to the editor Of the Nor
manden, the leading Scandinavian
newspaper Of the state, Mr.. Johnson
declares his position in the following
plain words, without any evasion or
beating about the bush:
Re the Editor: Being the repub
Icap nominee for the Office Of govern
or at tho election this fall. I wish to
mako It absolutely clear as to where

with the republican platform as prom
ulgated by the state central commit
tee ut Bismarck, and will use every
effort, if elected, to crystalize those
promises and pledges into laws.
Second believe in the strict and
conscientious enforcement OF all laws
on our statute books, the prohibition
law included, and 1t elected Will do
everything within my power to uphold
the dignity of our laws.

Montgomery
Is Against Goss
And Burke

J. A. Montgomery. Clerk Of the
Federal Court at Fargo. in last satur-
days Forum broke into print in the
interest OF tho corporation camdi-
dates for the Supreme Bench, Cooley
and Ellsworth and against the candl-
dates Of the common people, Co.'S
and Burke This man Montgomery is
a clerk Of court, the mans court
at that. He is not practising attor-
ney at law. He does not make his
living that way. He has q better Job.
He lives off fe"s-often to the minds
of the ordinary mortals excessive
and exorbitant collected of litigants
in the Federal Court If an ordinary
individual sues a railroad the law is
such that, there eng diverse citizen
ship, If the amount in controversy
exceeds $4,000, on the railroad de-
mand the District Court of the State
must transfer the case to the Federal
Court for trial. If suit is brought by
a citizen of the northwestern part
of the State often it is for trial at
Bismarck or Fargo. Such instances
have often been known to happen.
The railroads never trust the ordin-
airy District Court of the State to try
their cases, and because Of this dis
trust Montgomery lives off the fees
they produce him. But, dear reader,
what has he in common with the dis
trict court judges. Goss and Burke?
Absolutely nothing. What has he IN
common with their opponents Cooley
and Ellsworth? Evidently something.
or he would not be sending letters
broadcast over the State by the
thousand In their behalf. He is not
spending his money for them for
nothing. Remember that every twenty
letters sent means practically $500
expenses to Montgomery, a. It costs
money to send letters. Who 10 pay
ing Montgomery's stamp bill? The
committee Of one hundred, of course,
actually composed OF half dozen
corporation lawyers, including in
their list those who enjoy annual re-
tanners of six to ten thousand dollars
to represent the railroads in this
State. Tho reader can draw his own
inference pretty accurately as to-
where Montgomery gets his expense
money, and the reason why he, .
clerk Of a court simply, has the
colossal gall to assume tho role Of
An attorney when he has never
