Tenstrike had three places and

liquor was spilled. The beer was re-

the whisky to St. Paul.

Mr.. Smith, in an interesting talk
on the raising of clover, said that
a field should be selected that had
been previously planted TO corn or
potatoes. He declared that the
best results were produced by SOW
ing with shoe drill at an equal
depth of about one ami one half
inches, which would be deep
enough to insure against harm to
the root from the sun. He said;
"Beside being a profitable in

the best kind of a farm. 1t makes
the soil inoculative and that is
what is needed to produce crops

shall said:
IF you can raise corn here, you
can raise strawberries. Plant them
in rows about three to four feet,

Valuable Points Made By Speakers at
Opening Session of Two Days In
stitute in Bemidii.
STRAWBERRIES CAN BE RAISED
Also Stated That Clover is Not Only
Profitable Crop But That it Aids
the Soil.

How to select the proper kind of
seed, what to do to force the largest
yields from the soil and the an
nouncement that strawberries can be
raised here as we'll as corn, were
some of the explanations and feat
ures of the opening sessions of two
days farmers institute being held in
the gymnasium room of the Bemidji
high school.
At noon fourteen trim high school
girls in white caps and aprons served
a lunch to the farmers and their
families and several Bemidji business
men. The girls prepared the food
under the direction of the domestic
science teacher. Miss Crest.
The menu follows: Coffee and
pure cream, doughnuts, sand
wiches, escalloped potatoes, roast
beef, cucumber pickles, bread and
butter.
The expense of the lunch is
paid by the commercial club.

with the farmers were: >......

There was an attendance of about
100 at the opening session the in.
Stitute this morning. F. w. Smith
of Parkers Prairie presided, and
after explaining the object of the
gathering he devoted some time to a
talk on fertility of the soil in this
part of the state. He said that to
keep the soil in the most productive
condition crops should be varied
from year to year.
c. O. Carlson of Erskine spoke on
the subject of dairying, with par
ticular reference to the raising of
calves. He said that during the
first days of his life the calf should
be fed whole milk. I'VE feed one
half gallon ia the morning and one
half gallon in the evening. We
continue this for about two weeks;
then we feed grain a small amount
each time and add one-fourth of
skim milk to his regular feed of
whole milk.
when the calf has reached the
age of one month, he should not be
fed too much. One half gallon at
each meal is better than to feed
more than the calf needs" Mr..
Carlson said that. according to his
way of figuring it cost about $50 for
feed to keep a calf until be is eight
months old.
r. F. Marshall spoke on good
seeds. He said that in order to
raise good crops. good seed is an
essential requirement. Good crops
mean good cattle and good cattle
mean a large production of milk,
cream and butter. He said:
The seeds must have air, heat and
moisture. A good, large heavy seed
is the productive kind. Five per
cent Of the seed in the state of Min.
nesota is yearly destroyed by smut.
At a very little expense this could be
overcome. The best time of the
year to select your seeds depends
upon the seed. Corn should be Sc
lected from the stalk and other
grains should be carefully selected

NEGROES BANK ACCOUNT
is NOW THIRTY MILLIONS.

1t is estimated by a writer in
the Banker and Investor Magazine
that the Negroes of the United
States have not less than $30,0O0-
600 on deposit in the United States.
In one bank in Washington, d. @.
alone, they have more than $780,
600. Thirty millions is not an ex-
traordinary sum in itself, but it is
taken with the fact that it was less
than fifty years ago when the Ne
groes of the United States did not
even own their bodies, and in most
sections of the country, they dared
not even call their souls their own.
From abject alavery, from the
slave pen and the auction block to
owners of homes worth millions of
dollars and with bank accounts es-
timated at thirty millions, all of
that done by people who were
turned out upon the world dense
ly ignorant and without place to
lay their heads, is an accomplish
ment that can be boasted of by no
race except the black race. 1t is
a sign of growth and development
that speaks wonders for the race
and is only an index of what can
be accomplished by people who
will but cultivate the habit of saw
ing.

CRIMES
In the United States Paper read before State Bar Assoc

States District Judge of New York.

ferent cases, varying from as low as
ten or fifteen to hundreds and thou
sands of persons. 1t may be roughly
estimated that the average number OF
persons concerned in each case is not
less than so. 1t would thus appear
that about 100000 persons have taken
part in lyncnings in this country for
the last forty years. If two-thirds OF
this number is deducted for persons
who are dead or who have been en-
gagged in more than one lynching, we
have 100000 lynchers still living.
Every person wilfully taking an active
part in lynching is guilty of muir
der No person has ever been con-
victed of murder for taking part in a
lynching. 1t may therefore be roughly
estimated that there are approximate
ly 100000 unhung murderers, of that
particular type, living at present in
this country, mostly in the Southern
states
Now, in looking for a remedy for
this vast evil of the lawlessness ac-
companying lynchings and strikes and
all forms of mob violence, l think we
should start by admitting as a prac-
tical fact that the attempt to punish
serious crimes committed by mobs has
been a failure Why should not the
policy be adopted of inflicting COM
partively light punishment at the out
set upon those who enter into these
lawless proceedings, before they have
actually committed any serious crime?
Rioting is crime at common law,
and is made a crime by the statutes
of most of the states. Criminal pun
ishments, in order to be effective, need
not be severe, except in the case of
habitual criminals. Most participants
in mobs are not habitual criminals
They are usually excitable men, sud
denly swept away by indignation. In
the case of such persons, a reasonable
degree of criminal punishment
promptly inflicted, is more effective
than extreme severity in occasional
cases. If, at the outset of an attempt
at lynching or of strikers mob, half
a dozen or a dozen men were arrested
for rioting, were tried the next day
and were sent to the penitentiary for
a month or a fortnight, or even for
week, rioting would stop. Most men
would hesitate to have anything to do
with these excited crowds, in which
usually the participants find tnem-
selves involved without having orig
inally intended any serious violence,
but who are hurried on by the conta-
gion of the enthusiasm of the others
to crimes which they never would
have thought of committing by them
selves. The folly of the police and
other officers charged with the main
tenance of peace and order in permit
ting mobs to collect and grow is in
comprehensive. In almost every case
of a lynching or of a strikers mob.
sheriffs and police and everybody in
the community are aware of the dan
ger for hours before the mob acts, yet
no policeman or sheriff ever seems to
imagine that he is under any obliga-
tion to step in in season and nip the
