LAFOLLETTE
WAS MORE RESPONSIBLE

Chicago. March 16.-Concerning the
statement by Senator LaFollette that
Theodore Roosevelt did nothing to pre-
vent the abuses in the growth Of tho
trusts during his administration,
James, A. Garfield says:
During every year that Roosevelt
was president he reiterated to con-
gress the statement regarding the
over-ca pitalization. lack of publicity
and lack of federal control of the
trusts. He earnestly urged on con-
gress the enactment Of direct and af-
firmative legislation which would sub
Ject the great corporations to public
ity. regulation and supervision which
would prevent over-capitalization. I'm
der the plan urged by Colonel Roose-
velt' had 1t been enacted by congress.
the evils and abuses in big business
would have been remedied, legitimate
business could have been made better.
cleaner and stronger. and the many
business men who desired to condSct
their business In accordance with the
law would have been given definite
rules for the conduct Of their busi-
ness.
THE bureau of operations was
organized under Roosevelt and for the
first time the public was given accur-
ate and complete Information regard
ing the organization. capitalization and
conduct of corporations. such as the
Standard oil and Tobacco companies
The, e,immediate result Of the report of
vths Standard company was that Mr..
Roosevelt was able to obtain from
congress the amendment to the inter-
state commerce act by the terms of
which the system Of rebates and other
determinations by railroads was abol-
ished and the shippers of the country
were given an equality of treatment.
No subject was urged upon the at
tention Of congress by Roosevelt more
persistently or more vigorously than
that of the control Of the corpora
tons
The failure to provide for such
legislation is not upon him but upon
congress Of which Senator LaFollette
was member during the last three
years Of Roosevelt's administration %

Again. Senator La Toilette says:
If I han been president when these
great trusts were forming, when Nc
kinley and Roosevelt were president,
I should have called the United
States district attorneys of the whole
each one a copy Of the Sherman anti
trust law and would have said go
home and commit that to memory and
come back here at the same hour to-
morrow. Then when they came back
I would have said to them. now you
know what this law means. Go out

In men who will. One slight touch of
the trm hand Of the government when
these great combinations were forming

What are the facts. Under Roose-
velt the government was upheld in
the Northern Securities decision. He
directed the investigation of the sugar
trust custom frauds. which later re-
suited in prosecution and conviction.
Suits were begun against the Standard
OIL and Tobacco company and other
trusts, under the Sherman antitrust
act. These have since resulted in the
we'll known decisions by the supreme
court in these cases.

is coming on very, very fine, and
wintered well. The cereals were sown
during the last week in August, In
wheat stubble, with single disc press

There are number of other farm.
ers who sowed winter wheat and rye
and all expect to procure an excellent
harvest in the fall. More still are be.

that there will be several silos built

When these methods are employed

ALFALFA FAVORED.
Grand Forks Expert Advocates lts
Growth.

Grand Forks. Two or three hum
dred Grand Forks County farmers will
work with the North Dakota Better
Farming association this year under
the direction of o. D. Center. former
head of the agricultural work in Illi-
nois, who has begun his work here
as county expert. That number of
farmers will establish so.called dem
onstration fields, and on those fields,
which will range from one to ten
acres, they will raise alfalfa.
North Dakota can raise alfalfa"
Mr. Center says. ''and there is no rea-
son why Grand Forks should not be
to the fore in that enterprise"
Corn, too, will be given close at
tention by the farming expert. and he
expects to have several thousand
acres Of corn in various parts Of the
county, grown under his direction.
The breeding and production of corn
on scale which will make it possible
for Grand Forks not only to supply its
own farmers with seed, but also to
place it in position to supply the
outside demand, is the object sought
by the state organization.
Rotation will be taught to the farm
ers on so-called demonstration plats,
Of which there will be about eight.
There are four different kinds of soils
in Grand Forks county, and it is the
plan of the association officials to
have two of the demonstration plats
on each of those soils. Farmers sup
plying the ground for those plats are
required to operate the farming on
the plan that will be laid down by the
county expert.
But the association expert will not
confine his operations to the education
of the grown-ups alone. He will also
take up the promotion of corn and
potato growing among the boys of the
county. They will be asked to organ
ize corn growing associations, and
there bids fair to be much interest
in that feature. 1t is expected that
the association will have some big
corn prizes to give away next fall,
and the prizes will be awarded on the
acre-yield. There of course will be
prizes for the quality of corn, as well.
but the acre yield department will be
featured strong.

SPLENDID NEW TEMPLE

Fargo.-Architect JOS Bell DeRem.
er has prepared plans and specitica-
tions for the splendid new Masonic
temple that will be erected in Grafton
this summer and bids for the con-
struction Of the building will be re-
ceived and opened at the office of the
architect in the Widlund block on Fri
day. Several Grand Forks contract
ors, 1t is understood, will submit fig
ures on the structure.
The Grafton Masonic temple will be
used exclusively by the Masonic bod
les of that city and will cost about
$4,000. In some respects the interior
appointments and arrangements of
the building will be similar to the
Elks building in Grand Forks.
In the basement of the structure
will be found the smoking room and
the retiring room for the women, the
banquet hall, 80 by so feet, and the
spacious kitchen, with any number OF
cabinets and other arrangements in

the lodge rooms principally, and with
the property rooms and council cham.
ber adjoining. The main lodge room
will by 80 by so feet in size.
The second floor will be arranged

ter of Ten Cows to Run a Big
Farm and Keep a Large
Family.

Belfield. = For several years the
main Cry coming from the North Da
kota agricultural college is oliver
sify." and since having a short talk
with Alex. Monty, one of the many
we'll known bonanza farmers in the
great Belfield county, we are more
fully convinced than ever, that any
man-who knows anything at all
about farming-can be successful if
he will but add few milch COWS to
his farm stock. Hard times may come
and hard times may go, but the farm
er who turns a small number of his
acres into pasture for dairy purposes
becomes acquainted with the fact and
not by reading it in the several peri.
odicals that come to him through the
mails; his purse is we'll replenished at
the first of every month by the pro.
ceeds from his cows.
Mr.. Monty is by no means small
farmer-operating in all 500 acres.
To properly farm an acreage of such
proportion, considerable help is need.
ed, and to feed such help substantial
meals must be prepared; capable men
demand good wages and as rule
want their stipend monthly. All their
expense, besides raising a good sized
family, Mr. Monty has been able to
meet without any extra eXertion, with
nothing more than the money he re-
ceived in return for the butter made
from the milk of ten COWS, besides
always having a little "cow money
as he calls ito his credit in the
bank.
Last year was poor for the man who
soWed his last acre to grain, and this
spring found many without sufficient
cash to purchase the necessities Of
life for themselves and families. How
different it is with men like Mr.. Mon
ty; they are able to hitch up theil
