SENTENCE WAS SWIFT.

Gackle, N. D., Aug. 19.-Early
last spring Dewey Malicot left Al
fred in a great hurry. He returned
on the night of May 21,helped him
self to mare owned by c. N. Doo-

CLOSE OF CONGRESS
EXPECTED SOON
IMPORTANT LEGISLATION FOR
CONSIDERATION BEFORE AID.
JOURNMENT COMES. We
TO MAY DELAY,

Washington, Aug. 1S.-W While
adjournment of congress is possible
this week, much important legisla-
tion must be disposed of first, the
measures Of the greatest Importance
being: The Panama canal bill, be-
fore the president; legislative, ex-
ecutive and judicial appropriation
bill approved by the house and now
before the senate with the provis-
ton abolishing the commerce court;
naval, sundry civil and army appro-
priation bills in conference between
the two houses; the general def
cheney appropriation bill, before the
senate committee on appropriations;
the Indian appropriation bill, con-
ference report pending in the SEN
ate.
Possible veto of the Panama and
budget" bills may postpone the
the adjournment.
AS sent to the president, the Pan
ANA canal bill contains all of the
compromise provisions giving free
tolls to American coastwise ship
ping, barring the canal to trust
owned or railroad-owned vessels,
and fixing the tolls at $1.25 per ton.
1t also places shipbuilding material
on the free list. The president is
known to oppose the free toll provis-
ion of the measure.
In the naval appropriation meas
ure che house rejected an appropri-
iton for two new war vessels,
Cong. Helgeson of North Dakota be-
ing among the Republicans voting
against the measure. A compro-
mise on one batteship may be ef-
fected. -
The other measures will mot take
much time. The senate will take up
the six year presidential term reso.
luton, the reform bill OF lading
measure and the bureau of labor bill
this week. All legislation aside
from the appropriation bills is like
ly to be laid aside, however, as it is
the desire to complete the session
by Thursday, or at least by the end
of the week.

GRAIN INSPECTION BILL
DEFERRED OVER TERM
Sen. McCumber Announces Federal
Grain Inspection Measure Will
Come Up at Next Term.

| Washington, Aug.18.-Anneunc
, ment by Senator McCumber that it
| will not be possible for the present
session of congress to put his fed
| eral grain inspection bill through
either house, but he proposes TAX
ing the bill up next winter and put
ting it through the senate and
through the house afterward.
Should there be time, it is under
stood the Democratic house leaders
are not hostile to the bill, and if
this should be their attitude next
winter, the McCumber system of
federal grain inspection may become
a reality. McCumber has been in
terested in this scheme for many
years. In the sixtieth congress,
four years ago, he had bill report
ed favorably from the senate COM
mittee on agriculture and forests,
similar in form to the bill recently
reported from the same committee,
but there was no way of bringing it
to a roll call, and in the house it
made no headway whatever. He
renewed his efforts in the sixty-first
congress, but without success, and
again in the sixty-second congress
with the result that he has bill
again before the senate on a favora-
h1o recommendation
Broadly speaking, the federal in
spection of grain is favored by the
wheat growers, and is opposed by
the grain dealers in the great pri-
mary markets such as Minneapolis,
Duluth, Chicago, and Kansas City
But there are exceptions to this rule.
Not all of the farmers are interest
ed in the question, one way or an
other, and there is like difference
on the part of many chambers Of
commerce and boards of trade.
The farmer, however, as gener-
al proposition, believes he will get
more for his grain and will profit
other ways by stable and uniform
systems Of grading, If the grading
is turned over to the federal govern
ment, while the grain dealer does
not understand why the. system Of
state inspection and board Of trade
rules il not quite equitable.

SOONERS ARRESTED.

Velva, N. D., Aug. 19.-Deputy
Game Warden D.AKramer has been
on the lookout for "sooners" and re-
Gently arrested o. A. McFarlane and
A. G. Harris, both prominent farm
ers living near Towner, on the
charge of shooting wild game be-
fore the hunting season opened.
They were taken before Justice Bal
ley, pleading guilty to the charge.
They were each fined SO and costs,
which they paid. VIM. j., Burke,
who is employed at the Robertson
farm east of Velva, was arrested on
a similar charge and tried before
Judge Finkenhagen of this city. He
was fined $40 and costs, which he
paid.
Others who are inclined to be in
a hurry may we'll take warning
from these cases and wait until Sep
tember 7 to do their shooting. This
is the season when the birds need
protection and the game wardens
are keeping their eyes open for any
who are too previous. True sports
men should not think of going out
before the season opens, when all
can have an equal chance at the
birds, and those who do not observe
the state law in this regard are de-
serving of the fine.

we can have the laws necessary to
give justice to those who need it;
we propose to settle the matter for
ourselves, and we intend that our
public servants shall give us the law
necessary in order to achieve the
end we have in view. We do not in
tend to let either executive or legis-

laws; and, my friends, neither do
we intend to let the judges forbid
us to have such laws. Therefore in
our platform We have stated that
we intend to provide more easy and

the federal constitution, and that
when in any state state court de-
clares that law passed for social
and industrial injustice is unconsti-
tutional, then, after an ample inter-
val for deliberation, the people shall
have the opportunity themselves to
decide by vote whether the act is to
become law Notwithstanding such
decision; for, as the platform says,
the Progressive party demands such
construction of the power of the
courts as shall leave the people
themselves the ultimate authority
to determine fundamentally ques-

are the beneficiaries and ap0logists

Dem, DETECTION MAY
FOLLOW PETT|GREW
WESTERN DEMOCRAT MAY
CAUSE BOLT OF OTHERS

Much interest has been evidenced
throughout the country, and espec-
tally the middle west, by the depar-
ture from the Democratic ranks of
r. F. Pettigrew of Sioux Falls, S.
D., Democratic nominee for United
States senator from that state.
While at Minneapolis recently the
we'll known progressive in an inter-
view bitterly denounced Bryan as
traitor, ranking the Commoner with
Roger Sullivan, Charles Murphy, T.
+. Ryan and other notorious Dem
ocratic gang leaders, claiming that
Bryan has turned reactiOnary for
his own profit. Mr.. Pettigrew as
serts he cannot support Wilson, nor
Taft, and believes that the birth of
the new party was opportune. The
detection of other Democrats is also
prophesied.
Bryan, the Christian states
man." he said, "is in the same class
with Roger Sullivan, Charles Muir
ply and T. F. Ryan. Bryan exploits
the American people through the
Democratic party; Sullivan exploits
them through a gas franchise, and
Murphy through street car fran
chise. There are now two Bryans,
Bryan Of 1896, the honest Bryan,
the poor Bryan; the great Common
er and Bryan Of 1912, the rich man,
backing Woodrow Wilson, the reac-
tionary, the candidate for president
of the monied trusts"
Since Pettigrew's delegation, which
was instructed for Clark, was thrown
out of the Baltimore convention, the
former senator has been bitter in his
denunciation of Messrs. Bryan and
Wilson. Following the Baltimore
convention he visited Colonel Roose-
welt and reports have been current
that, he would support the third
party.
Won't Vote for Wilson. @:>.
"One thing is CERTAIN" said Sen
/ ator Pettigrew, II will not vote for
Woodrow Wilson. He is not a Pro-
gressive and his nomination was the
result of an ultimate union of Bryan
with Murphy, Ryan and the rest Of
the reactionaries."
Mr.. Pettigrew was asked If he in
tended to support Roosevelt and the
third party.
Il will tell you what l told Roose-
welt when he asked me that ques-
ton. l have not decided, although
I believe the time is opportune for a
new party"
Senator Pettigrew declared Mr..
Bryan broke his word as a gentle
man when he bolted the Clark in
structions of Nebraska. Bryan, he
said, wanted to be the nominee of
the convention, and when he found
it could not be he lined up with the
leader he pretended to fight.
"Mr. Bryan has 100000 salted
away in government bonds" he said,
"and is now piling up fortune at
the rate of $4,000 a year by using
the Democratic party as an ad-
junct."

publicans who have left their party,
in their attacks upon existing condi-
tons and in their attempts to satisfy
the popular unrest by promises of
remedies, are consciously embracing So
cialism. The truth is that they do
not offer any definite legislation OF

they promise are to be brought about,

they lead directly toward the appro-
