TIE TRAcTIoN VISITORS.

Fargo business and official circles
enjoyed the addresses OF the visiting
traction magnates Monday night. No
better team work by a battery OF
speakers has ever been shown In Far
go. Three brilliant men addressed the
guests at the street railway banquet.
Each had a part to perform and II is
mild praise to assert they artistically
delivered the goods.
Despite the fact the gentlemen were
here for a specific and somewhat un-
popular purpose-they held the inter
est of the audience to q remarkable
degree, won their applause-and gem
eral regret was felt that they had to
go so soon.
Their visit was another dsrnonstFa-
ton that there are two sides to each
question. They showed some Of the
reasons for the unpopularity OF public
service corporations-the impossihility
Of preventing this feeling-its injus-
tice-and convinced the audience that
even street railway magnates were en-
titled to fair consideration and a
square. deal.

r RECREATION.

A plan is being considered In III
nois for establishing rural recreation
centers throughout the state, the cen
ters to be supported through public
taxation. This plan will be thorough
~ discussed at the Rural Recreation
congress to be held in Cleveland, o..
June 5-S, 1912.
The recreation work of some rural
schools. churches and the Grange Is
to be described. Many will be inter
ested in the account Of attempts of
farmers wives to provide recreation
for themselves through women's
clubs.
The rural travelling library. contests
in gardening, corn clubs, athletics boy
scout activities for country boys
are some Of the questions on the
programme

munities have given pageants show
ing their own local history.
The various forms OF musical and
dramatic play which have been de-
veloped in rural districts In different
parts Of the United States will be
presented.
Those back of the rural recreation
movement believe that through it the
pull of the city on younger men and
young women car be somewhat les

calm that economic efficiency Ii
rural districts may be increased

~LANDoFFIcE CENTENARY.

1t was 100 years ago this month
that the federal landofice was first es-
tablished. Few states have derived
more BENEFITS from this method of
disposing Of public lands than North
Dakota-and the people Of this part of
the northwest are greatly interested in
the centenary.
The federal landofice idea was a
happy one and it has been indispens-
able in facilitating the settlement of
the newer parts Of the country. The
policy has been a sound one and it is
directly responsible for the develop
ment of a greater part OF the west.
When the original colonies were first
united each state owned it's own public
lands-but later on they were trans
ferred to the government for the pur-
poses Of settling the Revolutionary
war debt.
subsequently the Louisiana and 9TH
er purchases added greatly to the
public domain.
Today the public land is rapidly be-
ing exhausted and the amount avail
able for demonstrating has annually
decreased till the end is in sight. II
North Dakota the landoffice at Crane
Forks was closed some years ago. The
one at Fargo can last but a short time
longer. The experience in this state
is true OF others in the northwest anc
as the free land disappears-it marks
q most advanced stage in the settle.
ment and development Of the country
The passing OF the landoftice is al
evidence Of progress.

BETTER cRop PROSPECTS.

The Minneapolis Tribune crop editor

crop in the United States and ays
The wheat market Is now impressed
with the better crop prospects in the
hard winter wheat area Of the south

wheat in the northwest.

e0rd a June condition for fall sown
wheat several points higher than
shown In the last report and a spring
wheat outlook close to par For the
last two weeks nature has done every
thing to insure a vigorous plant
growth.
The Improvement in winter wheat,
however, is only relative to the very
unfayorable report issued the first Of
the month. The remaining acreage is
small and precludes a large produc-
ton. AT the best the June condition
win hardly suggest more than 400, 900,
600 bushels. which Is 10000, 900 bushels
less than actually produced a year ago

INsuReENT COMBINE.


Born in factionalism and political
d~issension the North Dakota insurg-
ency appears to be keeping up that
record. There seems to be insurgency
within the insurgent ranks-and all
sorts Of facional combinations are re-
ported.
Probably the most important one
now being discussed is that alleged to
exist between Marshall and Buchanan
which is popularity supposed to be
antagonistic to Senator Gronna,
1t is asserted that National Commit
teeman- elect Marshall and Guberna-
torial Candidate Buchanan have a
sort Of offensive and defensive alliance
Should the latter be elected governor
1T is proposed to build UP a political
machine-through federal patronage
controlled by Marshall when he be-
comes q full-hedged national commit
teeman-and Buchanan as the head OF
state affairs.
This machine is to be of the steam
roller type-and Senator Gronna is
said to be one Of the victims already
determined upon for the fattening Out
process.
Should such an improbability oc'
as the election of Buchanan
must be conceded there would b.
some elements of strength in the pro
posed combination.
So general has been the gossip o
this combination that friends of Sen
ator Gronna are reported to be alarm
ed over it's possibilities and to be yer!
anxious for him to return to thi
state and look after his politica
fences. Some insist that he shout
force a declaration from Buchanan
il the latter wants the Gronna supper
at the coming primaries.
Marshall is said to still possess
mans sized ambition to be u. s. sen
ator,

Press Comment

Edgeley Mail: We hazard q CUES
that even with c. Al Johnson In or out
OF the race. L. b. Hanna will win the
nomination for chief executive. THE
people OF the state have had a chance
In the past few years to become ac-
quainted with the work Of Mr.. Hanna
and there is not a man in the state
who can produce any good reason why
Mr.. Hanna would not make q good,
conservative executive. All sorts OF
insinuations have been made, but we
have yet to see one valid argument
produced against his candidacy. The
voters Of North Dakota have shown a
disposition to be fair to the man who
has proved himself en- honest and up
right official, and we think they will
prove no exception In this instance.
Lisbon Free Press: There are q few
republicans who. a this is not a re-
publican year and that Taft might as
well be nominated at Chicago and de-
feated in November as any other can
didate Of the party. In other words to
go down with colors flying.
But will this satisfy the demands Of
the party for a safe, sane and pro-
gressfve programme? Roosevelt or
Hughes, Beverage or Cummins could
carry the grand old party to victory
and IL IT Is found necessary to select
some new leader the people will fol-
low, IL they are satisfied the interests
Of h party are NOT placed in the
hands of reactionaries.
The primary vote for Roosevelt in
the west shows that he is the most
popular OF the three candidates who
are now in the field. Minnesota re-
Gently gave him three to one, while
Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska ana Mis-
souri, gave him large pluralities over
the other candidates. 1t would be
wise to accept Roosevelt If we desire
to win, but rather than suffer a bitter
internecine war, carried on after the
Chicago convention, IL the emergency
demands, a call should be made upon
any n of the other leaders named.
Then the delegates should carefully
weigh and consider whether either Of
these gentlemen or any other can
lead the republican forces to assured
victory.
We prefer Roosevelt, but the repub-
lican party which has controlled the
destinies of this country for the past
fifty lone years Except the eight years
of Cleveland) has our first allegiance
and support and If any other progress
sive statesman can win more votes
than our ex-president trot him out.
We are not for success at the sacrifice
OF principles, but we are for the re-
publican party as long as it Is equal
to the demands of progress.
Belfleld Times: Never in the his
tory Of North Dakota was there a man
whom all factions, sects and creeds
backed with their support like they
have Hon. L. B. Hanna. He is a man
loved and admired by the people and
one whom both the republican fac
tions-progressive and stalwart-de-
pend on for fair play and best results.
Now that he is in the race for the re-
publican nomination for governor OF
the state OF North Dakota, the same
interest for his success is quite mani
fest if we can Judge by the sentiment
Of the voters in western Stark, Mr.
Hanna is as sure of the republican
nomination, as we are that night will
follow the day,

N the climatic conditions during the

The more optimistic crop news has
caused a moderation Of speculative ac-
tivity and lower prices for wheat. The
decline has not been drastic as the
quotations for the deferred futures are
quite high and there Is still reflected
in the pit a disposition to anticipate
further advances, rather than any per-
manent downturn in spite Of the inn
