A STATE CQkSlARuLARY,

One Of the assistants in the attorney
generals Office breaks into print with
a revival of the plea for state con-
stabulary. He argues for state con-
stabuIary which might be sent to break
up demonstrations Of strikers and
strike sympathizers. The organiza
ton suggested by Mr.. Sampson, the as
sistant referred to, is the state con-
stabulary suggested and urged upon
the legislature by Mt. Rankin Rankin
wanted it to enforce the liquor laws
with. His idea was to take control of
the liquor question out Of the hands Of
localities and send in troop of the
proposed state constabula-y 10 take
charge Of local conditions. Mr.. Samp-
son would use his proposed conssabu-
larry for the purpose OF subdu!ns dem
onstrations by strikers or strike SYM
pathizers.
The idea and the proposal was re-
pudiated by Iowa There is something
repugnant 10 all communities in the IN

overload local officers and take charge

tremely dominant need. The militia Of

Gale Drives Seventeen to Death.


The tragic history of the Peaked
Hill bars, near Highland Light, Mass,
received a substantial addition when
three coal barges were driven on the
dreaded sands at the Knuckle of Cape
Cod, and seventeen lives were lost.
The barges were the TrevertOn,
Captain f. /. Brown. of LncOlnville,
Me-, and six men; the Corbin, Captain
c. Smith, of Philadelphia, and four
seamen; the Pine Forest, Captain NJ.
w. Hall, OF Provincetown, Mass, and
four sailors.
1t was from the tug Lykens that the
barges broke adrift Just as the dou-
bling of the cape was almost accom-
plished. The gale was blowing fifty
miles an hour when Highland Light
was passed, and hauling we'll into the

lines snapped and few minutes later
the barges were in the breakers.
On the beach stood three life saving
crews, powerless to aid the men VINO
could be seen clinging to the wreck
of the Pine Forest. Stretching out Tor
800 yards was a seething mass OF tum'
bling seas, in which even a lifeboat
could not have lived, while the dis
tance was too far for shot from the

with Corruption to Win Seat In
United Stats Senate.
CHARGES of bribery, attempted brib-
cry and other corrupt practices, Lolh IN
the senatorial primary election and in
the election OF a United SAFE seua or
by the legislature OF 1909 were pre-
ferrcd against United States Senator
Isaac Stephenson at Madison. Wis.
The charges are made in a state
ment filed with Governor f. e. Nc
Govern by the committee appointed in
1909 by the state senate to investi.
gate the primary campaign and the
charges preferred while Stephenson's
election was being fought out in the
joint convention of the two houses of
the legislature.
The committee declares that, in its
opinion, both the nomination and elec
ton OF Stephenson, who is a mutt
millionaire lumberman, were fraudu
lent and void. 1t urges that a coDv OF
the report be sent to the United States
senate, with the request that that body
make full investigation of Stephen
sons right to retain his seat.
Senator Stephenson is charged with
violating the statute which REQUIRES
that an account under oath of cam.
paign expenditures be filed, and it is
also charged that such violation was
premeditated. 1t is further charged:
That he violated the law which pro.
hibits any one from contributing mon.
ey to assist a candidate of the legis-
lature residing outside of the district
in which the contributor resides.
That the civi! service law of this
state was violated when he caused to
be paid money which the evidence
shows was paid to State Game War
den Stone and L. B. Dresser, then
president of the board of control.
That ne gave a sum of money to a
supporter of McGovern for United
States senator, such supporter after
ward switching to Stephenson.
That he paid large sums of money
to others, which was afterward' used
by them to induce other persons to as
sist in procuring his election.
'On the whole record, thereto e, !"
the report states. Stephenson is
charged with knowledge of the manner
in which his campaign was being con-
Quoted and the purposes for which
money was being disbursed."
The report further recommends that

OLD FASHIONED PATRIOTISM,

The Independent does not want to unjustly accuse
Congressman Hanna and Congressman Helgeson
But must insist that neither apparently do
ing anything to aid the new Congressional Appor-
tionment bill at Washington which gives our state
third CONGRESSMAN. notwithstanding our state
legislature has made three districts in preparation
for the expected apportionme
1t is unfortunate for these gentlemen that they
left in the same eastern district and will have
to fight each other In congress does give North
Dakota her extra congressman, but this is reason
for their signal lack of ordinary patriotism
1t is common political rumor that Hanna is bit
terly fighting the extra apportionment for his own
state because he is fearful of contest with Hedge
at the next election The bill has good chance
to be killed in the senate and if it is killed our
congressmens action relating thereto will be closely
scrutinized. Now gentlemen, give us an example
of old fashioned patriotism Forget yourselves and
work for the states additional representation.

While there is nOXous weed law IN our statu'es'

many wheat fields at least portions OF those neids
that will never be cut, because the weeds nave
beaten the wheat. This fields are particularly those
which were plowed last fall. Many farmers are pre-
pairing to pillow up such fields which is one way OF
killing the weeds. BY dscing or narrowing this
land later in the season, the weeds are headed on
and do not mature until frost comes. 1t doesn't do
much good however for one farmer to do this, when
there are others about who grow discouraged and
do nothing whatever to better the conditions.
1t may be little consolation to know that If the
North Dakota crops will not reach expectations this
year, some states not faring we'll own.
The fact that there was short crop in this state
last year, however, tends to discourage far
who did not fare well either year. However,
no one should become discouraged, even though the
conditions little adverse. The who has

NORTH pAkorA,s CROPS.

Our wheat crop this year in many sections of the
state will not be nearly good crop
pected two weeks ago. There are several
for this. In the first place. there was little mois-
ture left from last year and the sub soil very
dry in the spring. Although June was wet month,
between five and six inches of rainfall being re-
ported in many parts OF the state, the wheat has
not had enough moisture from below to make first
class crop. The instead Of going down spread
out close to the surface seeking the moisture and
when few dry hot days came, the moisture was
exhausted The wheat then began to suffer and in
some fields die. The weeds, which have been get
ting their share Of the moisture have done we'll
and in many places have beaten the wheat OF
course land is wheat SICK" according to
Prof. Boley, but if there had been plenty of mos-
tre, there would probably have been rank
enough growth for the plants to have pulled thru
giving twelve or fourteen bushels to the acre.
Corn looks splendid and with reasonable amount
OF rain from now on, there ought to be good crops
Of oats barley fax and other grains Potatoes look
well, but there many in HILL though what
there are, seem to be quite large
Some wheat fields will be plowed ND in some nor
tons of the state
Naturally this will affect all lines of business
some. tho North Dakotans are not easily dscour-
aged Business have been hedging right
along. and they as well as the farmers are going
10 gel along some way While we will not have
more than fifty per cent crop in North Dakota at
BEST we have plenty of company in the surrounding
states, and will have to console ourselves with tho
knowledge that We are in no worse shape than some
states, and better than number.
