BUILDING IN 1911.


It is probably true there viii be
fewer structures erected this spring
than last in the older towns-but the
total building operations of the state
will no doubt reach as great figures
in 1911 as in 1910. There will be a
great deal of activity in the newer
sections of the state and many of the
buildings are of substantial ma
ture
In Fargo there are many important
buildings to be constructed, though
the indications are that the amount
may be somewhat less than year
ago. Some people who had planned
buildings propose to wait to see how
the crop turns out this summer.
Should there be large prospective
yield several new structures will be
started this fall in time to enclose be-
fore cold weather.

TO INVESTIGATE DOUGH
Financial success is lure that
has put lots of men to the bad,
and still, strange as it may seem,
there are crowds waiting for the
chance to step into the place of
those who are put down and out,
Everybody would welcome
some pointers. not too. hard to
understand or too long to remem-
Der, of how to make good on the
job of dollar chasing.
The secret is Keep in the eye
of the public; hunt the spotlight
of public view, even if you have to
do it on the business end of an
other mans boot; keep in the eye
of the public, and the trick is
turned.
The beauty of the prescription
given is, that it's just as easy as it
sounds. To prove it, look at
Uncle Joe Cannon; he got his.
Illinois furnished raft of shin
ing examples of professional pub
1icity chasers, who delivered, each
in his own peculiar way, and got
what was coming to them.
Billy Lorimer, one of the last,
but far from the least, has shown
that publicity is merely another
word that means the same thing
as ready money.
1t seems that Chicago is again
to be honored, and this time not
on the retail, but rather on the
wholesale plan.

The fame of the easy-money
loop has spread until it reached
the ears of the Washington
solons, most of whom can hear
and recognize the clink of coin,
and locate it every time.
The green-eyed god known as
jealousy is busy. They evidently
want to know how the game is
worked. So Chicago easy-money
loop must get on the pan for a hot
frying, if the following news item
is to be trusted:
Washington, Dec. ga new
trust investigation is promised by
the Democrats of the House, who
say it will eclipse in Importance
any investigation of recent years.
1t is to search into the affairs of
the alleged money trust and also
of the foreign steamship combine.
Just how the investigation COM
mittee will be organized has not
been determined, but it is likely
to be a special committee of the
House rather than joint Con-
gressional committee. Demo
Gratis regard the investigation of
the money trust as the most i'm.

clause based on precedent furnish l ed by Congress in reconstruction times, and held constitutional at the time, forbidding the federal courts to question the validity of his measure
 The old men and women are en- titled to a living outside of the poor house and without the aid of private charity. If the old parties and the Supreme Court do not realize this i fact, they will be wiped out of exist ence, together with the old Constftz- tion.
 New times require new laws. Congress vs. Supreme Court Now, here is an addition giving a precedent in 1888, which I ask un- animous consent to insert in my re- marks.
 The Speaker-The gentleman from Wisconsin asks unanimous consent to extend the matter indicated in his re- marks. Is there objection? (AfteT a pause.) The chair hears none MT. Berger-On March 27, 1868, Congress passed a law prohibiting the Supreme Court from passing on the constitutionality of the reconstruc- ton laws which it had passed after the Civil War This law was pass ed over President Johnson's veto.
 The cause of this defiant position of Congress was the fact that the Attorney General had expressed an opinion that the reconstruction laws were f1c dISO re- fused to appear against one McCardIe, of Mississippi, who had an appeal for a habeas corpus writ before the Su- preme Court. McCardle had been arrested by the military authorities for criticizing their conduct in a. newspaper.
 The law passed by the Republicans had it's desired effect. When inc McCard1e case afterward came up be- fore the Supreme Court on April 1z,
  opinion of the entire court, said
 Tt is quite true. as was argued by the counsel for the petitioner, that the appellate jurisdiction of this court is not derived from the acts of Con- gress: It is strictly speaking. con- ferred by the Constitution. But it is conferred with such exceptions and under such regulations as Congress shall make"
 Also
 we are not at liberty to inquire into the motives of the legislature. We can only examine into it's pow CT under the Constitution. but the power to make exceptions to the ap- pellate jurisdiction is given in ex- press words.
 ssWhat. then, is the effect of the repeating act upon the case before US? We cannot doubt as to this: Without jurisdiction the court cannot proceed at all in any cause. Jurfsdic- tion is power to declare the law. and when it ceases to exist, the only func- tion remaining to the court is that of announcing the face and dismiss ing the cause And this is not less clear upon authority than upon prin- ciple.'
 Also
 ssIt is quite clear therefore, that this court cannot proceed to pro- nounce judgment in this case, for it has no longer Jurisdiction of the ao- peal; and judicial duty is not less it. Iy performed by declining ungranted Jurisdiction than in exercising firm lv that which the Constitution and the laws confer"
 The foregoing decision clearly shows that the Supreme Court cannot haze jurisdiction unless it is granted by Congress.

CASES TO BE SETTLED
Continuance granted by Judge Wake
 man in Gambling Raid Cases
Especial to The Farmer.) ]

(Speclal to The Farmer.)
 Fairfield, Aug. 30-The cases of those who were arrested in the raid at the house near Ash Creek early Sunday morning were continued by Judge Ba- con Wakeman yesterday morning and the date of trial was set for Saturday. It is probable however that the mat ter will be settled out of court for the accused do not seem inclined to make much fuss over the matter. It has been known to a few that the state policemen have been working in this vicinity for several weeks and it is probable that the evidence secur- ed at the raid is only a part of that in possession of the prosecution. The raid figured to a very slight extent in the prosecution of cases'at the Hotel Fairfield and those on the inside be- lieve that the prosecution has some thing up its sleeve in this case Att torney Bartlett who will appear for the accused is one of the most astute of lawyers and he will not go to court unless he has a fair chance to win. The real evidence against the Hotel Fairfield was obtained two weeks ago when the policemen bought bottled beer from the chef and took it away with them. It is said that evidence was obtained by the same two police men at the club rooms at Ash Creek about the same time.

 Southport, Aug BOA horse owned by an EastOn man ran away yesterday on the Cross Highway near Safeguard chapel and created much excitement all along the two mile route he took before he landed in the garage at the residence of Charles B. Read, at Greenfield Hill. The rear wheel of the wagon to which the horse was at tached broke down throwing out the driver. The horse made the two miles to Greenfield in record time, dragging the remains of the wagon with him. At different points along the route the crazed animal made de- tours. barely massing several teams he met. The driver lost several teeth when he struck the ground, and was bruised and scratched. On reaching the Simon c. Bradley place which is now owned by Charles B. Read of the D. M. Read Go. of Bridgeport, the horse swung into the grounds and plunged into the garage, stopping on the top of a motor car. The car was damaged to the extent of about $s0 The horse was badly cut up. Mr. Hermenzie, who lives near the scene of the accident, took the driver into his wagon and followed the horse, ar irving in time to take him back to his home. The wagon was a total wreck
