latter applies uniformly to all men.
to rich and poor alike; the former
stands for inequality, for favoritlsm.
and sooner or later will be the parent
of the grossest corruption and sub
versive of our system of government"
Meantime, said Mr.. Mccall, the
president had been denounced by
many.
1T is true he added, "that he is
not a political sleight of hand per-
former. He Is unable to delight the
multitude by swallowing swords, he
cannot stand upon a stage and pre-
tend to do one thing while he is really
doing another. But in the sense that
he is frank and open with the people
and that they are fully in his con-
fidence he is an excellent politician
Mr.. Mccall defended the presidents
course with regard to Mexico as part
of a great policy which aims at
emancipating mankind from servi-
tude to war and said, I'VE have had
statesmen who would have marched
the American army against the Mex
lean capital" He paid tribute to the
presidents policy embodied in his
treaties as diverting billions OF dollars
from military waste 20 civilization
purposes.
Mr.. Mccall vigorously defended the
present tariff law saying it secured
adequate revenue, reduced the aver
age ad valorem Of duties on imports
under N tariff law In any fiscal
year since 1S43, except four abnormal
years following the civil war;, and 1t
made American merchandise exports
rise above the $4,000. 900, 900 mark. He
praised the tariff board and said tina,
legislation based on its work would
mean the ultimate elimination of the
tariff from politics.
Mr.. Mccall said Lincoln was "a
distinctively American product" and
that his example was a vital force in
the problem of today.

ABANDON OFFICE
Local Recruiting Station for Marines
Notified of Closing of Some
Offices.

U. S. marine corps recruiting office
In the Magill block Of this city has
received a notice from headquarters
that the Boston recruiting district has
been closed and the Kansas City dis
trict will close Feb. 20. The recruit
ing district of Minnesota takes in the
following offices, st. Paul, Minneapolis.
Bemidji, Duluth, Mimi; Sioux Falls.
s. D, and Fargo, N. D., like the
Boston and Kansas City districts has
not enlisted the required number Of
men
days Of this month the Minnesota
sofa district has notified the various
offices in this district hat they must
get more men or all offices in the
Minnesota district will be closed by
March /. Recruiting has been poor
throughout the district, and unless
more men are enlisted in the next few
days o fthis mont the Minnesota
district will close all ofices. The
Fargo office has done its share and
although they have only enlisted two
men this month they hope to get a
few more. The recruiting officers urge
all the young men who have been
thinking of enlisting to do so at once
as they are of the opinion that next
month may be too late.
The Fargo recruiting officers claim
that the young men that run away
from the old country so they don't
have to serve in the army, are of the
opinion that the u. s.. service is the
same as in the old country, but such
is not the case. The United States
has made a study of this for years
and men serving in the marines are
treated as men, and not treated as
soldiers are in the old country.
There are in China today about 500
marines and the press throughout the
country has nothing but praise for
them. In any part of the world one
can always find Uncle Sans marines.
as there are no soldiers that travel as
much as the marines.

WOULD ENJOY SOME OF CLAY.
couNTYs SUCCESS AND DAZ-
EWs COMMERCIAL CLUB TO EN-
COURAGE ENTERPRISE.

After reading and hearing about the
success In the growing of good potatoes
in Clay county, the commercial club at
Darcy, Barnes county, N. D., has been
doing some effective missionary work
in the country tributary to that town.
As a result a mass meeting of farmers
was held at Darcy last Saturday.
Like the meetings held by the grow
ers of Clay county, in Moorhead, the
meeting was OF the g~et-together kind.
The farmers assembled for a single
purpose--to learn about potato grow
ing-and the best informed men on
the subject were present to give the
facts from actual business experience.
One of the speakers was Leslie Well
ter of Moorhead who told the farmers
what his experience had been and the
pitfalls they must avoid and what they
would be likely to encounter. Mr..
Welter was of the opinion that the
grow ing Of potatoes was just as posi-
BILE of success in that part of Barnes
county al 1t was in Clay county, Mimi.
He told them all about the organiza-
ton of growers in Clay county and the
benefits which have been and are to
be accrued, through the medium Of Il
registered trademark, etc.
1t is understood that the farmers
agreed to erect a potato warehouse at
Darcy, also a number promised a Ger
tain acreage for the coming season
and a market has been promised for
the output which will be placed in
charge of a competent man, Mr.. Welter
promised to send to take charge of the
big warehouse which will be erected
in time for the storage of the 1912
crop.

Two Runaways.

There were two runaways in the
same vicinity and at about the same
time late yesterday afternoon. The
scene was at Front and Sixth streets
close to the N. p. tracks. First a
bakery wagon was accidentally over
turned and there was an interesting
mess Of pies, cakes and general bakery
stuff spread over the street and with
that exception no particular damage
was done. A few minutes later a
cutter belonging to DR.. A. @. barrow.
in charge of his driver, approached
the trolley tracks at Sixth and Front
streets the cutter in some way became
overturned and the horse bolted to-
wards the N. P. tracks leaving the
driver spilled in the street. But for
a quick turnabout at the N. P. tracks
the horse would have been run down
by an approaching train. But little
damage was done in the second acci-
dent.

ADDITIONAL SPORTS
CARL MORRIS Won
AN EASY VICTORY

New York, Feb. 1S.-Carl Morris,
the Oklahoma giant had the better
of every round in a ten round bout
with Jim Stuart, the Brooklyn heavy
weight at the Carlyle Athletic club in
Brooklyn last night. Although Stu
art had been hailed as an even match
for Morris, he lasted out the ten
rounds only by holding on and doing
a marathon.
Morris did about all the fighting,
chasing Stuart about the ring, cor
nering him in almost every round
when he placed a few stiff punches.
1t seemed the general opinion that
Stuart would have been knocked out
had he stood up and fought. Morris
was cool and steady at all stages and
showed greater accuracy than usual.
In the sixth round he cut open Stu
arts lips with a hard punch.

TRAIN SERVICE
Is DELAYED

Aberdeen. S. D., Feb. 1S.-owing to
the heavy SHOWS. the branch line of
the o railroad, running from North
Dakota to Herreid, S. D., has been
blocked for the past week, and train
service interrupted. Many of the stock
men Of that region experienced a short
age in feed, but hope to pull through
the remainder of the winter without
much loss. Most of them put up hay
in considerable quantities, but the
heavy SHOWS have prevented the live
stock from rustling any feed at all,
and the hay supply is near exhaustion.
At Columbia, in this county, a short
age of coal is complained of. The
trains have been running with a fair
degree of regularity, but for some un-
known cause fuel supplies ordered by
dealers have failed to arrive, and the
supply on hand is near exhaustion.

Railroad News
TWO ROADS FOR
MERCER COUNTY

Stanton, N. d., Feb. 18Th. j. Tavis
Of Mandan, the right of-way man for
the Northern Pacific railroad company
arrived in stanton today from the west
end of Z Mercer county where he has
been engaged for the past week in buy
ing a right-of-way along Knife River,
Spring Greek and Goodman Creek. 1t
is understood that hi has experienced
no difficulty in dealing with the var
ious farmers through whose land the
proposed line runs, and he is now
working from the vicinity of Stanton.
This line will branch out at stanton
from the Missouri River road, running
northwest to the old townsite Of Mer-
Ger thence along the Knife river to it's
junction with Springs Greek, following
the latter until Goodman Creek is
reached when it goes along the Good
man Flat until it reaches Dunn county.
This recent activity, together with
the care shown in keeping the road
open from Mandan to Fort Clark, at a
time when it would have been natural
to abandon train service until spring,
has revived all Of the railroad rum
blings which have traversed this coun-
ty in the last twenty years, and not
only does the dream Of the pioneer APP
proach realization, but everything
points to two roads through Mercer
county as there are no indications that
the proposed route along the Missouri
river has been abandoned even for the
time being. With two roads, or even
one through Mercer county, the long
delayed development will proceed rap
idly, as people become acquainted with
their resources, and find tbs her farm
ing land is the best in the United
States; that she has clay beds Of ex-
cellent quality, and abundant supply
of Ignite coal of high grade.

Why GRAIN
Is BLOCKADED

Continued From Page one.
built elevators where conditions war
ranted, but during the past year, be-
cause of government ownership in
Manitoba, no private elevators were
erected.
The grain growers of Saskatche-
wan n Alberta have also been de-
handing government ownership of
elevators, and that spirit of unrest
among the men who finance grain
crops has naturally resulted in a COM
paratively small outlay in elevator
construction in these two provinces.
There was also, during the past
year, an agitation for government con-
troll of terminal elevators, and this is
held responsible for the lack of fa-
%cilities at terminal points this season.
1t is conservatively estimated that at
least $4,000 bushels of grain will be
stored at Duluth for transshipment to
eastern Canadian points, and as soon
as the southern movement OF. grain is
well under way it is believed the con-
gestion in western Canada will be re-
lieved."
John G. Foster. consul general at
Ottawa, discussing the same subject,
says:
With reference to the congestion
in grain shipments in the Canadian
northwest the minister of trade and
commerce states that the situation has
been somewhat relieved by the ship
ment of grain via Minneapolis and
Duluth in American cars. 1t is under
stood that this shipment through the
United States applies to grain for ex-
port only. AS illustrating the rapid
increase Of grain shipments the mia-
lister states that the number Of cars
inspected in the western inspection
division UP to the end of December
in the fiscal year 1912 was 3O,45S; in
the same period Of 1867, 1885;
1907-s, S5,827; 1s0S-9, 5s.S16; 1909-10,

STOUT ARRESTED
TWO FRED SKINS"
DEPUTY U. s. MARSHAL GILBERT
STOUT ARRESTED INDIAN
BooTLEcGERs AT FORT TOT
TEN ToDAY-MYsTERY AS TO
WHERE BOOZE CAME FROM.

Word was received this Q at the
local marshal's office Of the arrest Of
two Indian b~ootleggers at Fort Tot
ten today. Deputy U. s. Marshal Gil
bert Stout left for Devils Lake last
night I'M this morning made a drive
TO the fort where the arrests were
made.
The red skins were taken to Devils
Lake today and arraigned before the
United States commissioners who fixed
their bonds at $500 each. In default of
the bonds they were both remanded
to the custody of the Ramsey county
Jail to wait trial at the next term of
the United States court.
1t is said by the local officials that
these two Indians have caused the
federal authorities an unlimited
amount of worry. Where they obtain
ed the fire water is a mystery and this
subject is now under investigation.
