Trick with Pencil.

Here is a little trick to try on your
friends:
Ask one of them to close his eyes
and cross his fingers When he has
done this take a pencil and touch the
tips of the crossed fingers with it.
Then ask him how many pencils he

insist that there are two pencils touch

PIONEERS PASSING.

! THE people of Fargo have had it i'm
pressed on them recently thai some
of the pioneer residents have grown
aged. The recent deaths of Geo. L.
Foster and ]. B, Folsom call attention
to the passing years. Both were ear
~ residents OF the Red river valley.
They had seen this great state devel-
oped from it's crudest frontier exist
nee into n OF the proudest Of the
nations commonwealths-and both
men had been active factors in the
great progress 80 evident on all sides.
There are other citizens of Fargo,
whose whitened locks and slowing
pace show that the long years Of pio-
neering has begun to tell. North Da-
kota and Fargo is proud to have been
the home of such men as Foster and
Folsom. The city is proud Of many
Of the other pioneers to whom 80
much credit is due. In the course Of
human events they must soon PASS
away. 1t is a matter of graduation to
many people that they have enjoyed
the friendship and the association with
these sturdy and aggressive early set
tlers-and there is q tender regard for
those who remain.

thing too far In the old days--the PEN

in the other direction. One of the ef-
fects OF drastic a~nti-raiiroad legisll-
tion liz to put a stop to further con-
s~truction of branch lines In the radi-
cal states. AS a result Of the restric-
tions regarding freight rate charges,
many roads have not been profitable
during the past few years. Dividends
were cut down-or failed to be made.
Railway stock is no longer In demand,
money for needed railway improve
ments is dihicult to secure. The wages
of railroad employees a increased
while the freight rates have remained
stationary. The cost Of material has
advanced. with the refusal Of the
Interstate Commerce commission to
grant any relief--the railway men on
tend the situation Is serious.
OF course 1t is natural for the rail-
way magnates TO make the situation
appear as acute as possible. They are
calling attention to the worst side.
But any student OF present conditions
will admit, there is some justice in
their contentious.
Something must rip-some compa-

spite the general prosperity-if the
present wages are to be paid--if the
cost Of materials Is kept up-and If
the present passenger and freight

The following editorial from The TO-
ledo Blade will strike q popular chord
In the politics ridden state of North
Dakota: -
There isn't n experienced mar Of
business who believes II possible for
competition, as it was ono under
stood, to be restored by law. Stu
dents Of economics, s~ociologists, trade
~unionists, observers of many forms
and classes, are convinced that the
thing competition, which is spoken Of
in congress as If ii were a partner of
the divinity, could be fixed by statute
and maintained with all the might and
machinery Of the federal government.
We venture to say that not one poll
itician in ten who Is rasping his throat
ana wearying his arms in competi-
tons praise has any true faith that
absolute competition is possible-or
desirable II it were.
The explanation of all this foolish
speechmaking, all this fine writing, all
these impossible antitrust bills, lies
in the fact that the politicians are un-
certain as to the voters feelings and
opinions on the trust question. They
know the speeches will get nowhere in
he solution Of the problem, but they
hope they will have some influence at

nothing new and the suggestions are
im~practicable, but they present the
reports and recommendations as a.
stop-gap until q reliable measure has
been taken of the bulk of public opin-
ion. The antitrust bills will not
pass, o is there much desire that
they shall, but presenting them and
talking like solemn asses about them
may be taken by the public as an ex-
preston of good intention. And none
Of our patriots at Washington asks
more.
II may be true, as the politicians
think, that the people Of the United
States are not ready to consider reg
ulation as the u for the trust evil.
But we believe the politicians have
made an error in judging public SEN
timent. We believe they will discover
the error shortly. Then there'il be no
more of that ~fiapdoodle about the gio-
ries OF cutthroat competition. but
some real statesmanshtp-and a soIu-
ton Of the question which will remove
it entirely from the list OF our a
tional problems.
