North Dakota Political Gossip

Bismarck Tribune: Former Senator
who served the state
twenty years in the lower house of
congress and the United States sem
ate, and who was defeated for re-elec-
ton at the primary of two years ago.
an interesting document to
the political literature of the state
which appears elsewhere in these col
umns this morning. Senator Hans
brough does not entirely approve the
tariff bill He thinks that some sched-
ules might we'll and probably have
been changed. But Senator Hans
brough was in congress during the en-
actment of two tariff bills, and he
knows Just how tariff bills are agreed
upon, and just how they must be
agreed upon, under our political sys-
tenn. He knows that this is a big
country with varied interests. He
knows that the senators and represen-
tatives are charged by their constitu-
ents to look after their state and dis
trict interests, and a tariff bill is nee
essarily, in the final enactment, COM

gress, looking to the protection of var
ious interests, and not cold, mathe-
NAUTICAL and calculated series of SEIZED
ules, looking to the greatest good 81
all the peopGe and having no concern
foI the interests of localities.

THREE coNeREssMEN.

North Dakotans are expressing con-.
siderable elation over the possibility
of a third congressman. 1t looks de-
cidedIy favorable for another member
of the lower branch Of congress, still
ii is by no means certain the state will
get three.
One of the first conditions are that
the sdate must have $4,000 to 100000
population There is no doubt in the
minds Of the average North Dakotan
but that North Dakota has that num-
Der of people. Some Of the more OPP
tinistic imagine it will be $4,000. The
government estimate is, however, only
1000.
Even after the state has made the
showing necessary there are other diff
fculties to encounter. Congress must
make new national reapportionment.
1t may be difficult matter The big
gains In population have been in the
northwestern part of the country and in
some of the southern states. The east
: will fear a switch in the balance of
political power and also relative loss of
the influences in the house Of represen-
tatives
Should the population Of the entire
United States show about 10000, 0000
the sixty third congress would prob
ably be composed of about 400 mem
bers This would be an increase of
nine over the present congress, which
is the sixty first. and over the one to
be elected next fall the sixty second
Upon that basis, it will require about
225,000 or a major fraction thereof for
each congressman.
If congress passes a new apportion-
rnent bill next winter, then the legis-
lature of North Dakota would know In
plenty of time to pass a measure at the
1911 session for division of the state
into three congressional districts. L
this is done it will probably mean tina
west of the Missouri will be made int
one district and the rest of the statt
divided into two more, on an east ant
a west line giving the northern par
Of the state one man and the south

Travellers Tales

Itfl was the first money he had ever
attempted to deposit. In fact it was
the first money he had ever tried to
save and as he approached Harry
Beckwith, cashier of the Northern
Trust Co., he wanted to know how he
was to put the money in the bank
and all about it, and Mr.. Beckwith,
after a good deal Of trouble, succeeded
in showing the young man the proceed
ure of making a deposit. After this
was done, e wanted to know how to
get it out again, and this, too, he was
told. Mr.. Beckwith was expecting to
get a big deposit, and after all nego-
tiations were concluded he asked the
man how much he wanted to deposit
and was somewhat astonished when
he was told $3.50. Now the Northern
Trust, like every other bank, win ac-
cept any amount as deposit, especial
ly from those who are showing
praiseworthy desire to save and the
amount was accepted and he was CIV

must have been lging the young
man as to how 81 get the money out

post was made Mr.. Beckwith vas

closed in an envelopes:
ITO Mr.. Beckwith, banker: Dear
Sir-I have been told that / must

money out of the bank, and herewith
tell you that want 1t by this evening
at O'Clock. You can leave 1t at my
room as my IandIady will write a re-
ceipt for it. I want to apologize for
taking it out, but here is the reason
for me wanting it. Just week ago
me and my girl I'D fight and while
we was mad at each other / thought

so prosperous as now. But they are
busily engaged attacking. the republic
can administration, and making gem
eral and non-specific arguments
against the tariff bill, of which they
know little and care less They are
seeking to profit through stirring up
prejudice and dissatisfaction.
Senator Hansbrough indicates clear
ly in his letter to a friend in this state,
what is the object of these disturbers.
And he cautions the voters of the state
against being led to follow off strange
gods. We had an experience with
democratic tariff back in the nineties.
1T should not be necessary to repeat
that experience to prove the utter hol-
lowness and shallowness of democratic
promises. The democrats of this
country are united only because they
are out of control. Put the conserva-
tive eastern democrats, the protection
list southern democrats and the radical
western democrats to framing a tariff
bill, and what kind of a measure
should we have? The last democratic
administration enacted a tariff bill
that President Cleveland vetoed as
"reeking with perfidy and dishonor."
And in the face of this indictment the
democratic stumpers are making spec
ious promises and declarations that
are merely for the purpose of getting
back into Office and getting control Of
congress. Are the farmers of this
state, in view Of the conditions that
exist and have existed for the past de-
cade, going to help them?

FOR BETTER FARMING.

What The Minneapolis Journal says
of improved farming methods and of
the work in Kansas and Minnesota is
equally APPLICABLE to North Dakota:
1t is an encouraging circumstance
that there has been such a widespread
revival of interest in the need of better
methods of farming in America The
land-tillers are Numbered at from
forum and pulpit, they are advised and
counseled in magazine and newspaper,
they are exhorted officially and unof-
ficially. 1t must be a poor sort of
farmer who has not heard or read of
the crusade for better farming.
Yet the inertia of the agricultural
population in any country is proven
bal. and it win take much agitation,
much effort at spreo ding the ben fits of
scientific knowledge to set the farm
| ers in motion toward intensive farm
| ing of the right sort. We are in a
state of transition from the era Of
broad fertile acres wastefully titled to
that which Europe has known so long
THE era Of careful, intense cultiva-
Ition Of small fields. Our farmers have
so long been able to to raise bountifll
crops by merely tickling the face OF
old Mother Earth that they are slow to
realize that this cannot go on indefi-
lniteIy They are not yet convinced
that they cannot go on forever taking
out Of the soil without putting back
anything. Yet the contrast between
our average yield OF thirteen bushels
of wheat to the acre with the English
average OF from thirty to forty or even
more, is eloquent of the difference be-
tween slipshod and scientific farming
One Kansas farmer last year raised
wheat that yielded sixty five bushels to
the acre. or FIVE times the average yield
for the State Of Kansas Moreover, it
was on ground tina. had been under
cultivation for forty seven years That
shows what can be done by the right
sort of farming. For seven years it
Ehad had annual treatment with barn
manure. There had been a proper ro-
tation of crops, with an occasional
Iyear of lying falIow. Glover had en-
rfched the soil with it's nitrogen col :
llecting roots. Last of all. it was plant
ed with selected seed. Did the expert
Iment pay? Why, it was no experiment
at all, but sure thing from the out
set
Minnesota must do her share in
lighting off the broad famine that
James J. Hill and other far sighted
men believe they see in the future She
must get more and better yields OF
wheat from her broad acres. 1t can
be done and done at big profit TO the
: farmers. But they must work with
practical and scientific knowledge. be-
ginning with the blowing of their fields
