WILSON TO THE FARMERS

Governor Wilson talked tariff to
the farmers in his address at
GIouchcstcr Ci;y. N J. And he
talked vel as he always does.
My indictment against the
tariff h. said lis that T. represent
special partnerships and does moi
represent the general interests"
That is very true. People can
not have forgotten how the Payne.
Aldrich bill was made and il is
typical. Representatives Of special
interests flockcd to Washington.
They thronged the committee
rooms. As the president himself
has admitted, the present wool
tariff VAS the result Of q bargain
between the wool growers Of the
west aud the manufacturers Of The
east--a bargain which was carried
'"to c'ect at WHshif gtOn. The
steel men were there and the glove
men. 1t will be remembered that
Littaucr (now Bull MooserD.s
glove manufacturer was actually
admitted TO the room in which The
Senate and house cunfereCs met
Tor the purpose of reaching an
agreement.
SO Governor Wilson is entirely
right. What we have is q partner.
ship between certain powerful
interests and the government Of the
United States. The people are net
parties Ia 1.-THE farmers are not
parties to il. II is out Of the
people and the farmers that the
partnership makes his profit. Men
nave TO pay more for all that they
use-pay more even than foreigners
pay Tor American goods than
they would have to pay were there
no such partnership between the
government and the INTEREST,"

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY

As an evidence OF the harmony

national committee is poin Ing
with unconcealed pride to the CO.
operation Of Governor jGdsen
Hartman, Speaker Champ Clark.
Representative Underwood. Gov
enornor Baldwin and Governor

were all active candidates for pre-
sident on the democratic ticket.
The fact that another man WAS
selected at Baltimore has made no
| difference 20 them. Governor Foss
is campaigning in Vermont in he
half of the democratic ticket:
Speaker Champ Clark and Repre-
| senttive Underwood have already
taken an active part in counsels OF
their party. and Governor Baldwin
and Governor Harmon will take

make as many speeches as may he
required. Governor Marshall will
go to Maine and MIR. Underwood
will go to New York the last OF
September and speak in adjacent
states every day until November:

SOME WOOL TRUST EVIDENCE

In the light of the Presidents

gives the wooden trust a contin-
unuance of its privilege to plumber

| time paying its workers starvation
wages, a page from the hearing in

strike inquiry makes Interesting
reading. The witness is Miss
Sanger. a trained nurse. On page
&c, hearings on house resolutions
400 and 1873 the following
testimony appears:
Mr.. Pou Miss Sanger, were
you instrumental in taking numbr
of the strikers Children away from
Lawrence during the strike"
Miss Sanger Yes SIT"
Mr.. Pou: Did you talk with
those children about their manner
Ct living"
Miss Sanger: Yes sir. |
found that the children there
were ll9 of them in my party
seldom ate meat. and their physical
condition was the most horrible !
have ever seen. In the first place
four of the smallest children had
chicken poX, and they had not re-
ceived aay medical attention.
They were walking about among
the other children apparently with
out noticing the chicken pOX or
diptheria: one child had diptheria.
OF ll9 children only four of them
had underwear, and it was bitterly
cold. We had to run all the way
from the station to Labor Temple
after we got to New York to keep
from freezing"
MIR. Foster: you say only
four had Undertaking; what wa:
the cOnditi n of their outer
clothing?'
Mss Sanger. 1T was simply in
rags Their coats were worn tC

MIR. Foster: Were the children
pale and thin"
Miss Sanger: Yes sir, and
want to say that when they haC
supper it would have brought tear:

meat with their bare hands"
MIR. Foster: Did any Of then
have on wooden clothing Of any

Miss Sanger: mo sir"
MIR. Foster: And yet they all
worked in WOODEN mills"
Miss Sanger: Yes sir"
In his veto message Mr.. Taft has

George E. Chamberlain"
Senate Chamberlain of Oregon

senate. He is in close touch with

understands the need of a demo-
cratic senator from this state.
The party has it in its power to
send q democratic senate 10 Wash
ington to take the place of Senator
Massey who has aligned himself
with the standpat element in the
senate. file has consistently voted
against all bills that sought to re
duce the tariff. He voted against
passing the wool bill over the
presidents veto, thereby f~avoring
a few thousand sheep owners at the
expense of almost countless millions
Of consumers. These votes of
Senator Massey should be remem.
bered by the people of Nevada
when they go to the polls in
November.
The party neeus him to put in
force democratic policies. 1t
needs his vote to reduce tariff rates
hat President Taft declared to be
indefensib,e. In short, the Nation
needs his vote to take the govern
ment out of the hands of the

principles and send Key Pittman to
Washington to take the place of

MAKES ATTACK
ON SCHOLARSHIP
NORTH DAKOTA HIGH SCHOOL
GRADUATES RANK LOW
IN ENGLISH

In an address before schoolmen as
sembled at Grand Forks last Friday
evening President George A. McFar-
land of the Valley City Normal School
made scathing attack on the scholar
sship of the North Dakota high schools
as judged by the standard Of the
scholarship of the high school gradu-
ates sent to the normal by the differ
ent high schools of the state. The
speaker declared that the pupils
graduated were poor in English both
in reading, writing and spelling. At
this meeting the High School Council
appointed last May to investigate the
success or failure Of High School
graduates made a partial report and
explained some of the charges made
aginst high school graduates. It is
anticipated that the recent action by
the state legislature and the High
School Board will do away with some
of the complaint heretofore existing.
The key note of the Grand Forks
meeting was Better Scholarship and
how it may be secured"

At the council meeting Monday
evening bids were let for curbing,
guttering and grading on 1928 West
Avenue West Broadway. The coun-
ell also voted to use the fire team
on water wagon and in general city
work. Sometime ago proposition
was made to the government to sup
ply power from the government plant
and thus keep the power house in
operation during the year. The gov
ernment has replied with a counter
proposition which is in many ways
better than the one offered by the city
The government offers the city ex-
lent service and in case Of break
down at their own plant the city
plant would be operated by the gov
ernment. Twenty -four hour service
will be rendered. The city guarantees
that the annual payment shall not fall
below minimum of $4,000, and
payment shall be made to U. s. r.
service in this city. The city shall
make public announcement from time
to time of rates to be charged and
in case any consumer shall allege
unfair discrimination, he shall have
the right to place the evidence before
the Director of the Reclamation SER
vice who shall have power to decide
the case.

ON AMUSEMENT
METHODIST CONFERENCE BY A
VOTE DECIDES AGAINST
CHANGE IN DISCIPLINE

Minneapolis, Minn., May 18.-With
the decision of the amusement ques-
tion and the taking of the sixth bal
lot for bishops, the delegates of the
Methodist Episcopal general confer
ence here today made rapid strides in
the completion of the business Of the

fifth ballot, the result of which was
announced this afternoon, w. 0. Shep-
herd of Chicago, was high man, with

"1n the interest Of quiet Sabbath
day." the conference ordered at the
close of the taking of the sixth ballot
at an adjourned session late this af-
ternoon that the votes be sealed, un-
counted, until Monday morning. A
motion to seal the ballot in order to
prevent discussion Of "politics" on
Sunday, was made by Rev. Frank Do
ran of Winona, Mimi, and met with
some opposition, but finally was
adopted.

The Library Assembly room was

to the lecture Of DR.. Ladd Of the State
Agricultural college on the war being
waged against impure foods and ma
terials within the borders Of North
Dakota.
DR.. Ladd's talk was of absorbing
interest and in it he embraced every
thing from adulterated rice to dress
goods. The use Of shoddy in woolens
and silks was shown to be carried on
to great extent in fabrics as adul-
teration is in food supplies. The
speaker traced the fight for honest
marking of goods and recounted the
experience with patent medicine max
ers bent on curing every i'll from child
hood to old age and showed con-
clusively that nine out of ten Of these
medicines were of such a character
as to be utterly no account or abso-
