Those who favor selling or destroy ing the old state house may think they are adding immensely to the finances of Arkansas by doing so. but the fact is they are thus ,disposing of something that no amount of money can ever replace, while little common sense and economy in the appropria- tions would carry us through without this sacritce. Wehope there is enough of patriotism in the legislature to save the old building, says the Hope GpZeffp

An exchange rises to remark: If nothing else can do so, it is to be hop ed the boil weeyil will put Southern farmers to raising their own meat and bread. If this should happen it will be the greatest blessing that has come 10 us in many day. Cotton is fine money crop to the South, but no country can succeed which buys it's meat and bread away from home and must pay freight to get it to the con Sumer.

It is political clap trap to talk about referring the sale of the old state house to the people. The people are honest and patriotic and don't want to sell a piece of property that is rap idly advancing in value. Every ybody knows how the people would vote be- forehand on this question. They would vote to keep this grand old landmark and make permanent ex- building of it to exhibit the products of Arkansas.

Another Confederate Joins Silent Bivouac.
 Gen. Daniel c. Govan, old Confederate soldier, Indian agent under Cleveland, and for the past forty years one of the most popular planters in the tristate territory, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. F. II.

We think we note slight tinge of sarcasm in the following from an exchange. Now that automobiles are spreading over the country, there will be mighty effort made to build smooth roads for the benefit of the farmers. Strange that this interest has flashed up so suddently. How would it do to put road tax espe- cially on autos?

Forks the place. In the meantime
the opposing attorneys will draw
up their briefs and submit them.
The majority of those who at
tendedsthe hearing seem to think
that the officials will be bested
and the new counties organized
when the decision is made. Not
enough stickers were produced in
evidence to change the result of
election if they were declared H.
legal; the testimony Of the differ
ent election officers proved that
the returns were certified to and
a member Of the canvassing board
testified that these returns were
counted and officially entered into
the abstract of votes at the time
the abstract was made.
The contestants, or officials,
who testified stated that they
were opposed to division and it
was clearly shown that they had
done all in their power, both be-
fore and after election, officially
and otherwise, to entangle election
matters in the hopes Of getting
the election declared illegal.
Judge Templeton sat on the case
and the arguments will be made
before him at Grand Forks. AS
soon as his decision is rendered
the case will 20 to the supreme
court for final settlement.
II the officials win in the lower
court the people will appeal i'm
mediately, while, on. the other
hand. if the citizens win the first
decision the officials will, no
doubt, take the six months al
lowed them in which to appeal,
and thus delay matters as long as
possible-which means that much
mosa salary. 1t is good predic.
tion, that Tot :; single otsie::a: will
I-be reelected if division fails.
The people, and especially the
farmers ia the western and south.
ern part of the county are up M
arms and will see that they gel
their rights. and no half-dozen Of
dozen officials will stop them
although they have given then
the temporary power to do so.

We understand that our old

Judge Tsmsn Of Grand Fork. Hears Division Contest Case at Dick
sonAgument be Heard 6and Forks on March 5offcas
Fighting Desperately to Knock Out Will Of Voters.

The county division cases came
up at Dickinson last week Wednes-
day and occupied all that day and
the largest part Of the following
day. Attys. r. M. Andrews and
Geo. Bangs of Grand Forks ap-
peared for Golden Valley county.
Attorney General Andy Miller and
G. M. Branson, of Rhame, for
Slope county, while Edward
Engerud, of Fargo, and W. F..
Burnett, of Dickinson, appeared
for the county officials who are
doing the contesting.
The principal points raised by
the officials were the blanket
stickers, improper certifcation of
the returns. conflicting votes and
want Of proper notice of election.
A great many witnesses were
examined on both sides. County
Auditor McGregor was the star
witness for the officials, but on
cross-eXamination he was badly
tangled up in regard to the care
and handling Of the ballot boxes.
Election officials, including j. A..
Miller and Henry Feldhusen, of
Beach precincts, and L. F. Craw-
ford, of Sentinel Butte, testified
chat the ballot boxes We're not in
the same condition as sealed by
them; that the seals had been
broken, and j. A. Miller. who
was clerk of election at Beach,
testified that the poll book had
been tampered with and that the
tally sheet containing the county
division vote had been torn from
the book. In another instance
the contestants alleged that cer-
tain number Of stickers had been
used in the Yule precinct. al.
though they swore they had not
opened the ballot box nor counted
the ballots, but upon the opening
of the box in court the exact mum.
ber of stickers alleged were found
whereupon someone was
heard to remark: Good guessers. Z"
After all the testimony had
been taken and documents filed,
the court set March 18th as the
date for argument and Crane

Senator Martin
Sends: Resolutions
House and Senate Pass Martin Res
oIutiens Against Reciprocity and
Send Them 10 Washington, D. c.

Fargo. Forum: Following is
Senator Martins Canadian reci-
procity resolution which passed
both houses Of the legislature and
was sent to President Taft and
both branches of congress:
Whereas, A commission ap-
pointed by President Taft has
negotiated with a like commission
from Canada a treaty of recipro-
city between the United States Of
North America and the Dominion
Of Canada, and
Whereas, Said reciprocity trea-
ty has the approval and support
Of the president of the United
States, and
Whereas. Said reciprocity trea-
ty has passed the house Of repre-.
sentatives of the congress, Of the
United States, and
Whereas, Said reciprocity
treaty is now pending in the
senate for its passages and ap.
proval, and
Whereas, 1t is the belief Of
this legislative assembly that the
enactment of such reciprocity
treaty into law would remove the
tariff on all grain raised in Cana
da and permit the same to be inn
ported into this country free of
duty, which would work an ire
parable injury to the state Of
North Dakota and especially to
the agricultural communities in
said state, and would retard i'm
migration and development in
this state and have a tendency to
reduce the values of land and
real estate. and
Whereas, We object. to the
proposed Canadian tariff recipro.
city treaty because it gives us no
assurance that it will be reason
able or that it will not be bur-
densome. and
Whereas. We believe that q
proper reciprocity treaty with
Canada can be made, but that no
such treaty should be made until
a complete and detailed report
upon the working of such tariff as
is made by tariff commission and
until the said tariff commission
has set forth it's report with
facts and statistics, giving the
reason for the adoption of each
schedule of the said reciprocity
treaty, and,
Whereas, We believe that con.
gress should refer the said reci.
procity treaty for investigation to
the tariff commission with recon.
mendations that it report
promptly thereon with clear and
full statements of the actual
working Of said treaty schedule
by schedule, in order that the
people of this country may get
iull and satisfactory information
fin order to act intelligently and
wisely upon the matter Of its
adoption, and,
Whereas, It is the belief Of the
legislative assembly that vast
majority Of the people of the
state Of North Dakota are opposed
to such measure, therefore be it
Resolved, By the senate Of the
twelfth legislative assembly, the
house of representatives con.
curing, that the senator's anG
members Of the house of represen.
tatives representing the state Of
North Dakota in the national con,
gress, be, and they are hereby re,
quested to use allhonorable mean,
within their power to prevent the
passage Of said reciprocity treaty
and its enactment into law.
Resolved, Further. that copies
Of this resolution duly signed by
the respective officers Of botf
houses be sent to the president Of
