The Cane Crop.
Louisiana Planter.

Grass and water are the twin foes
with which the Louisiana cane crop
is now cOntending. The high river
has necessitated so much attention
and required the presence on the
levees of so many laborers that the
fields have perforce been neglected,
and the rains of last week gave grass
and weeds an impetus that can only
be checked by the man with the hoe.
Unfortunately the man has had to
lay down the hoe, for the time being
and take up the shovel and the sand
bag. The crop is backward and
grassy, yet the stand is there, and
this permits our local planters to
feel reasonably hopeful, wherevever
their fields are not actually over
flowed.
Everything now depends on the
weather We havs during the growing
season. Extraordinarily good wealth
er may enable the young canes to re-
trieve their five or six weeks back
wardness. Should the summer be
unfavorable q short crop is a GER
tainty.

Rosen, expressing her appreciation
of the honor of having been elected

RAILROAD MEETING
Small observation-disclosures by J. p
CoIomb, c. .. Caffery, J. e. la
lame, Jules Dreyfous.

The meeting Thursday night in ad-
vocacy of the tax in favor of the pro-
posed New iberia, Lafayette and
Northwestern was poorly attended,
not over fifty people being present,
showing either a lack Of interest or
that the voters have pretty generally
made up their minds.
The meeting was called to order
by ]. P. Colomb, who stated the OBJ
ject of the meeting and made short
talk for the tax. He called upon
Atty. c. D. Caffery who spoke in IA
vor of the tax, directing most of his
remarks to showing the benefit of a
competitive road. He read several
letters showing the difference in rates
between Lafayette andother towns
with more than one railroad. He read
a complaint from a merchant from
this city to the State Railroad Com
mission on account of discrimination
and also the Commissions answer
that they could do nothing as Lafa-
yete is not competitive point.
At the close of Mr.. Caffery's' talk
Freight Agent Jos. E. Lalanne was
given the floor and he read rates to
Lafayette, Opelousas, Crowley and
New iberia, showing that Lafayette
was as we'll favored as the other
towns in the particulars he quoted.
He also added that the Southern Pa
cific was ready to consider any COM
plants of discrimination and make
corrections where there was injus-
tice. He also declared that the COM
pany encouraged truck raising and
made special rates and gave special
service to promote the industry.
At the close Jules Dreyfus, of New
Iberia, spoke. He began by declaring
that rates was not the main thing,
that it was the move for better facil-
tiles, the awakening of the people to
progress and the development of en-
terprises that counted No city could
become greater without more than
one railroad, that railroads came in
and helped build up cities by bring
ing in immigration and aiding in the
development of the country's re-
sources He spoke of the big cane
crop last year and the inability of the
Southern Pacific to handle the crop
and declared that with a developed
country the tonnage would support
two lines. This country is not nearly
developed and we need another rail-
road here to help us develop it. He
caused considerable amusement by
declaring that we need in Lafayette
a new tombstone with a new epitaph
on it. His talk was well received
and was a strong plea for votes for
the proposed railroad.
The meeting was then adjourned.

STATE Will loan
100000 ON FARMS
LARGE AMOUNT SET ASIDE BY
THE BOARD or UNIVERSITY
AND SCHOOL LANDS FOR IN
vEsTMENT IN FARM LOANS
EQUAL AMOUNT FOR cAss.

The board of university and school
lands convened Saturday afternoon at
Bismarck and set aside 100000 for
investments in farm loans, same to
be ap%portioned in equal amounts to the
several counties as lea as possible.
In a letter to Addison Leech, county
auditor, the board states that they
can probably handle applications from
Cass county to the extent of $4,000 or
$4,000, and requests have been made
to make such applications. County
Superintendent Riley and the chair
nan of the board were both notified
to assist the county auditor in making
~appraisals where possible.
Loans cannot be made on lands
where the title is known to be defect
i've or patent not of record. The board
will again at Bismarck on
Feb. % and all appraisements should
be on hand by that time. Application
blanks are in the hands of the county
auditor.

new REGULATION
FOR TELEGRAMS
COMPANIES MUST NOTIFY WHEN
MESSAGE ARRIVES IF AID.
DREssEE CAN BE REACHED
UNIFORMITY IN TOLL RATE
WILL BE NEXT.

Telegraph companies operating in
North Dakota will be compelled to
comply with a new rule covering the
question of delivering kilograms as
a result of the action of the state
railroad commission in Bismarck this
week.
The rule that is proposed requires
telegraph companies to give notice to
the addressee of the arrival Of a tele-
gram at the earliest possible moment
when the address of the party IS
known. Such notice must be made by
telephone unless the telegram can be
delivered by messenger within thirty
minutes. 1t was the decision Of the
board to outline the rule in question
and submit 1T to the several companies
and unless they can show good reasons
why it should not go into effect, then
it will be adopted.
Uniform Rates Proposed.
Uniformity in the rates Of telegraph,
telephone and express companies was
also approved by the board and Sec
rotary Hall and Rate Expert Little
have been instructed to draw up q,
schedule of rates which may be made
to apply,
On the telephone question these
rate schedules will have particularly
to do with the toll charges on which
it is charged that there are the great
est difference.
The trouble is brought about through
the rates Of independent and so-called
mutual or farmers lines and the
board will seek to remedy the condi-
ton.
The boards officers have already
done a considerable amount of work
on this subject and 1t will be a matter
of three or four weeks before they are
ready TO submit their findings.
Protest Was Denied.
The board has also made a decision
with reference to the protest that vas
made by several Cass county farmers
relative to the removal by the Great
Northern of several miles of track.
The protest was denied. as the board
had not been notified by the railroad
that there was any intention OF moving
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1912-01-29

the line in question and # was also
deemed proper, should the railroad so
decide, to remove the track, as the
new proposed mileage would do much
more good.
A rule on the question was also
adopted by the railroad commission
and provides that In cases where the
railroads desire to remove track they
must give notification OF the fact to
the board at least sixty days prior to
the time they can remove, and they
must also give their reasons That
will afford an opportunity to file pro-
test, if protest there be.
The railroads must also file blue
prints of the changes sought to be
made.

STERILIzE The
MORALS OF men
NEED FOR sTERILIZINe ASIDE
FROM THE PUBLIC DRINKING
CUP AND THOSE THINGS MEN
HANDLE AND SEE, ACCORDING
TO REV. J. M. WALTERS.

Crime should be prevented by re-
moving the underlying causes ana
making it easy to do good,' declared
Rev. j. M. Walters yesterday noon
when he spoke to the Mars club of the
Methodist church on the teachings Of
Jesus in regard to criminal classes.
To-day men try to get at the causes
of the crimes Of society," said the
speaker, while Jesus strove to deal
with the sin of the individual. There
is a wide distinction in nan ways
between sin and crime. Christ dealt
with social crime by dealing with sin.
1.-THE greatest number of crimes are
committed in the big cities. / do not
think Jesus would have crowded peo-
pie together like cattle had he his
way.
Many men bet millions of dollars
at a time, but do you think Jesus
would try to reform those men? His
work would lie with the youth who
plays the penny machine-the first
step in gambling. Many say it is a
simple and innocent thing, but if you
follow it up it is the very thing that
results in graft on a large scale and
penitentiary sentences. The penny ma
chine is the first step, next the boy
bets on the football game, then a lit
tie more on the election, and finally
he is found in some graft higher up,
in politics or the commercial world.
"Sterilize everything is the cry today.
The public drinking cup is universally
condemned, everything must be clean
and sanitary. We have the 'sterilized
doll and the 'prophylactic pup but
what about the germs that enter the
youngsters mind in childhood-in
magazines and shows Of the present
day i'm which the hero Is often a worth
less ruffian? We need sterilized liter
ature and clean institutions just as
much as some of the other reforms
recommended nowadays.
Judge not that We be not Judged :
quoted Rev. Walters. Eve often judge
a person unfairly by not investigating
conditions. We arrive at a deciding
conclusion too hastily, but when the
conditions Of crime have been in
vestigated thoroughly and the suspect
found guilty, he should be punished
In conclusion, Rev. Mr.. Walters
said: There are many poisons botf
for the mind and body, but If a young
man follows the advice IN this quota,
ton, society will not be troubled with
any crime Of his.
Whatsoever things are just, what
soever things are true, whatsoeve,
things are honorable, whatsoever things
are pure, whatsoever things are lovely
whatsoever things are Of good report.
IL there be any virtue, and II ther'
be any praise, think on these things.

SCHOLARSHIPS At
The N. D. A. c.
PRES. HOWARD ELLIOTT OFFERS
NUMBER OF SCHOLARSHIPS TO
NORTH DAKOTA BoYS-HoPEs
TO KEEP BOYS IN. SCHOOL FOR
FULL COURSE.

The farmer boy student at the North
Dakota Agricultural college is offered
a material inducement to complete the
three-year curse in farm husbandry.
The inducement is a $50 cash schol-
arship offered by Pres. Howard Elliott
of the Northern Pacific railway, to
one boy in each of any ten counties in
North Dakota into which the Northern
Pacific railway runs.
Quite a number of students attend
the college for but n or two years
only, either believing that in that time
they can learn all that is necessary,
or for other reasons dropping out be-
fore completion Of the full course.
President Elliott's purpose in giving
the scholarships is to encourage the
finishing OF the course, because he
believes that every young man who
graduates will prove a valuable asset
to his district, county and state. The
more scientific farmers there are, the
better for the country and all lines of
business.
The scholarship is awarded when
the student has attained a sufficiently
high standing and is within one term
of graduation.
Students who win scholarships are
expected to agree to follow at least
one special line of agriculture and to
report results Of farm management to
the agricultural college at Fargo for a
period of at least three years.
The class which win graduate this
spring numbers seventeen, five of
whom are from Northern Pacific
counties and have been furnished with
the $50 cash scholarships. The win
ners are: Allen Andrews, Pembina
county; Mark Brindle, Emmons coun-
ty; Frank Camel. Morton county;
Jacob Dawson, Dickey county; and B.
+. Kruger. Grand Forks county.
