Several inquiries have come to The
Forum relative to the rights of rail-
roads delaying trains to pick up work
men and railroad supplies and load
ing them on the train. Inquiry among
authorities in this city, brings to light
the fact that there are no laws that
can compel the railroads to conduct
their train service along certain re-
stricted lines, such as suggested by
some of the inquiring travelling men.
The laws Of the state do not govern
whether trains shall be mixed or of
one kind, and likewise do not regu-
late the number of stops of a train
in the country along the line of the
road. To these inquiries The Forum
suggests that the matter be taken up
with the North Dakota railway COM
mission to secure the best results.
Address the railroad commission at
Bismarck and the complaint will be
properly cared for.

WOOLGROWERS GOT THE TARIFF
TRUSTS GET THE MONEY.

Pierre, June 20.-The wool growers
of the western part of the state were
building hopes of higher prices from
their wools this year, based to large
extent upon the heavy sheep losses
farther west last winter, which they
felt would cause somewhat of short
age, and help them along. But the
reports from the sheep sections of the
state are not bearing out that theory.
The market is starting off at about Is
to l9 cents, without any promise of
material increase for the season. This
IS several cents lower than for several
years, and will be disappointment to
many of the wool growers.
In these days Of monopoly of
manufactured articles the producer
gets no benefit of the tariff. And no
better illustration can be had of that
fact than the conditions existing at
this time. Notwithstanding de-
crease in the wool crop, we have a
decrease in price of wool to the pro-
ducer and an increase in price of
manufactured wool to the consumer.
It's wonderful how we'll made tariff
can take the money out of the pockets
of the people from both ends and
place it in the Golfers of the trusts.
And it is still more wonderful how
the people can be bamboozled into
swallowing it and claiming to like it,

We always maintained that Can.
nonism would be an issue as long as
Cannon remained in the house. The
talk few months back that he would
not again be candidate for speaker
was for the purpose of throwing the
people off their guard. Now his friends
are beginning to talk of the pro-
liability of re election to congress,
and of the possibility of his re-elec-
tion as speaker. The interests will
never give Cannon up if there is a
possibility of getting him into the
speakers char.

The voting of many democrats In
the republican primaries has created
a demand for some kind of protection
against repetition of that kind OF
voting in the future. 1t is true that
a man can be challenged, but many
who recognize the injustice OF such
voting dislike to use the challenge
for fear of offending neighbor. BY
some democrats it was regarded as a
shrewd political trick to vote in the
republican primary for the purpose
OF bringing about result that would
cause large falling of OF the re-
publican vote for governor this fall,
thinking the dissatisfied vote would
90 TO the democratic candidate. Not
all democrats would stoop to such a
trick. In fact the great majority OF
the democrats would not consent to
il for n moment. But hundreds over
the state are said to have done so. 1t
has been suggested that the primary
law be amended and that voter be
required to register and declare bis

elsewhere.
Both platforms declared for grad
uated income tax, for conservation
and against monopoly.
While the stalwart platform does
not mention Cannonism, one of the
stalwart candidates for congress de-
clared against Cannon in his an
nouncement.
On state issues there is wide diff
ference between the factions on spe.
cific recommendations but both de.
clare for economy in the administra-
ton of the affairs of the state. As
the progressives will have charge of
the administration of the state for the
next two years at least, there is no
ground for fight over these matters
for some time. On national issues a
basis OF harmony is not impossible
provided the stalwart faction will
work and talk as it's platform indi

change in the tone of stalwart speak.
ers and writer's. They have moi in this
campaign been striking any telling
blows against monopoly, for railroad
rate regulation, or the regulation of
corporations engaged in interstate
commerce.
In state affairs the stalwarts have
not assumed friendly attitude to-
ward the primary law for which their
platform declares, nor for the vigor-
Gus prosecution of the states rate
cases, although their platform declares
in favor of freight and passenger rate
reduction.
In short the stalwart platform de-
clares for one thing and it's represen-
tative newspapers talk in an entirely
different strain. Until they become

A BASE OF HARMONY.

The talk of harmony conference
between leaders OF the stalwart and
progressive factions within this state
naturally causes a query as to a pos
sible basis on which the two factions
might get together. A perusal of the
platforms adopted by the two factions
in their respective gatherings akiHur-
on shows that such a combination
must be made on a progressive Basis.
Although the stalwart faction has rep.
resented the recationary element in
the party its platform put out at Hur-
on is not reactionary. Indeed in many
respects it is progressive platform
and is similar to the platform of the
progressives.
The progressive faction in South
Dakota was and is fighting for the
principle in state and national affairs
that the power of the corporation and
great moneyed interests must be curb,
ed to the end that the common people
may enjoy their just share of the pros
perity of the country. Although in
less positive terms, the stalwart plat
form declares for much the same
thing. Therefore, if the stalwarts are
willing to stand on their own platform
in good faith there is no impossible
barrier between them and the pro-
gressiyes. Stalwart newspapers, how
ever, have not been talking the prin-
ciples of their Huron platform. They
have been reactionary in their stone
while there was little that was reac-
tionary in their platform. III they
now take the position of standing
squareIy by the principles enunciat-
ed by the mat Huron they will be well
coined into the progressive ranks.
Here are a few comparative declara-
tions which show how similar are
the platforms of the two factions of
this state.
Progressive: We assert our loyal.
to the basic principles of the repub-
lican party.
Stalwart: We rssert our allegiance
to the fundamental principles of the
republican party.
Progressive We reiterate our sup
polt of the principles enunciated by
the fearless champion of the people
Theodore Roosevelt, in his contest
with the special interests seeking to
usurp the functions of popular govern
ment.
Stalwart The Roosevelt-Taft poll
cies embody the cause of the people
against the inordinate ambitions of
organized greed.
Progressive We believe the Payne
tariff law was decided factor in the
fulfilment of the party pledge, but
that inequalities yet exist which
should be remedied when demonstrate
ed to be such by the Investigations of
the tariff commission created by the
Payne law to investigate and report
to congress.

THE officials of United Wireless CO.,
which was recently extensively ad-
vertised in some of the local papers
of this section, have been arrested by
the postal authorities on the charge
of using the mails to defraud. Chief
Inspector Moyor, subsequently gave
out long formal statement in which
he charged that, although the COM
pany has been running at loss, the
price of it's shares have been so ad
vanced by the manipulation to ticti-
tious values, that the individual of
ficers of the company sold their stock
to the public at a profit, estimated in
one instance at between five and ten
million, while other instances are in
proportion. We understand that
several parties in this county invest
ed money in the concern. 1t looked

that none who invested money in the
concern can charge it up to anything
that appeared in the INDEPENDENT.

The legal department of the feder.
al government has instituted proceed.
ings against James Patten and sever
al others and has secured an indict
ment against them on five separate
counts, charging them with manipu-
lating the cotton market in restraint
of trade. AS our readers probably
know by this time, this writer does
not take much stock in this grand
stand play made against spectators
in options on agricultural products.
We contend that the producer reaps
a benefit. Of course, it may be said
that the same cause raises the price
of the product to the consumer, but
of that no one can be SO certain In
the matter of cotton, especially, this
action on the part of the government
under the pretense of removing re-
straint from trade in that product
for the benefit of the consumer is
ridiculous in the extreme in the light
of tie tariff schedules made for the
purpose of allowing the cotton manu-
facturers to enjoy an absolute monop-
oily and charge for the finished pro-
duct all the traffic will bear, OF what
mattor is few hundred thousands of
dollars made by Patten as compared
with a continual filching of many
millions of dollars from the consum-
ers annually by the cotton trust. If
the government wants TO do som ething
of real benefit, let the tariff be remov-
ed and let the legal department get
after the manufacturers trust.

CONSIDERABLE excitement was caus-
ed in Washington over the speech of
Clifford Pinchot at St. Paul. Some
of the big guns wondered if that
speech was made for the purpose OF
launching new party. Others
thought it was an expression of the
sentiments of Roosevelt as expressed
to Pipchot in the interview in Italy
OF one thing the politicians may be
certain, that speech OF Plnchots
strikes popular feeling and the prin'
ciples therein set forth will either be
absorbed by the republican party OF
taken up by a new party. The con-
troll of this government by the inter-
ests shor: time longer and a new
party is inevitable. Such move
will divide politics into liberal and
conservative factions. The liberals
will be progressive, for the exterml
nation OF trusts and the cOnSerVdSioii
of natural resources. The conserva-
tives will be the trusts and the Bal
fingers, and the only time they will
be liberal will be as now, when II
comes to dividing the natural wealth
of the few and exploiting the country
through such tariff schedules as we
now have on steel, cotton, and woolen
manufactured products and on lum-
ber. The progressive idea may re-
ceive temporary setback in locali-
ties, but the people are being awaken
ed and progressive principles are
bound to win,

considered hardship upon the many,
but something of the kind has been
made necessary by the dishonesty of
the few. For that matter, it is the
same with all restrictive laws. The
