THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1911.
PARDON RIckFoRD.

Former State Treasurer Bickford has
been convicted of embezzlement. The
verdict is no surprise to those who
are familiar with the facts which The
Forum exposed during the primary
campaign OF last year.
The official acts of the former treas
urer were the most fragrant in the his
tory Of the state. Instead of being a
public servant he appeared to have
concluded, early in hts term-the funds
Of the state were for his manipulation
and profit. His methods were raw and
coarse.
His official acts have not only
brought the deepest disgrace on the
Btate-but also on the insurgent eIe-
.ment Of the republican party in North
Dakota--of which he was one of the
favored leaders.
The fact that he is the first state
Official ever convicted in North Dako-
"a Is not an enviable distinction-and
In Itself must be the deepest humilia-
ton.
K Aside from the unfortunate position
in which the former treasurer has
placed himself-he has inflicted the
severest penalties on his friends who
trusted him--and his wife and family
for whom he should have stood as a
man Of honor.
The Forum feels that the conviction
OF Bickford will have salutary effect
In North Dakota and elsewhere. 1t
.s serving notice on public officials
hat their official business must be
conducted with integrity.
In view of the fact that Bickford
vas forced to make restitution of the
principal funds-The Forum feels that
ais offense was, in a degree mitigated
and that the complete expiation in
N-s form OF a penitentiary sentence
ApA not be demanded. Now that the
So nj justice have in a large meas
* sen a.tained--a suspended SEN
..aAas By the corrt would be a sufficient
Txfy.
@Sat is not possible it would be a
~ thing for Governor Burke and
Ne -~rdon board to exercise the
Helnency within their power and parole
VI pardon the offender. Governor
Burke could do this with little diff
suIty.
There is one other feature of the
case that demands attention. The in
terest money-rightfully belonging to
the state and garnered in by Bickford-
reaches $4,000 at least. Some reports
say 1t may be as much as $4,000. 1t
Is the duty of Attorney General Miller
to at once institute a civil action in
this case for the recovery of that
money so the state will not, in any
way, be a loser. The bonding COM
pany behind Mr.. Bickford is in every
way responsible-and the attorney
general win be negligent if he permits
the state to lose these thousands OF
dollars.

earn 1t. Why they should have been
selected as the starting point to break
down protective tariff Ii not easily
comprehended. All republican nation
al platforms have advocated their pro-
lection. No republican majority in
either branch Of congress has ever
failed to vote for the maintenance OF
such protection. In the present con-
gress as In the last, a majority OF
republicans has stood by the historical
tariff principle of the party.
In 1897 the republican party re-
gained control of all branches of the
government, and retained it until
March last. Within this period Of
nearly fourteen years farming In this
country advanced with unparalleled
strides. The value Of farm crops in
the United States was $4,000, 900 900 In
1897, and $4,000, 100000 in 1910 This
great stream of solid wealth was dis
tributed among the farmers OF all the
states. They received good prices for
their products and the value Of their
lands largely increased. Were their
profits excessive? No one will say SO
who fairly weighs the average and
counts the labor and energy demand
ed. The high cost of living can not be
charged to extravagant profits for
farmers. They have prospered since
1897, but what they have earned has
gone into millions of pockets. They
are not rolling in wealth by any means.
The democratic trade raid upon
them is wanton performance.

DARLAND's VIEW.

Darlington Record: That dope that
is being handed out to the newspapers
Of the state from CIR t1d Forks, and al
ways under a Ora. Forks date line,
and claiming to enIinate from a North
Dakota Development league" Is about
the rawest game Of film fam we have
run across in some time. IL Is crafty
Ing to notice that but few Of the pap
ers have fallen to this stuff. 1t Is
great for Grand Forks, but why should
the papers of the state give this free
advertising to the city on the Red.
Grand Forks Is a fine little city all
right, but in this matter they have
rather overestimated the generosity of
the newspapers OF the state. The
newspapers are loyal to their state
and ready to boost all the time. but
this picking out any one city for all
this advertising is rather too much of
a good thing.
Bismarck Palladium: Some very
interesting political rumors come
floating down the line with the APP
proach of the dog day weather. One
is to the effect that John Burke has
decreed that his gubernatoriaI mantle
shall fall on the shoulders of Andy
Miller, and that he will push himself
forward as available presidential tim
Der from q democratic standpoint. An
other has 1t that Jones of Rock will
contend nightly with Andy for that
same mantle, and that Paddy Byrne
now secretary to the governor and In
surance agent pleni- potentiary to the
state of North Dakota, will make the
race for the democratic nomination. for
congress In the newly created Second
district. Still another is to the efEect
that Warden Hellstrom OF the pen will
be groomed for place in the United
States senate and that Pat Norton has
been promised the position OF private
secretary when he lands In this event
Little Johnnie, Pats office boy, will bt
given the position as outer guard al
the senate chamber. Some of these
rumors may approach the probable;
others are as ethereal as the zephyrs
that play about our prairies.
