Whereas. The Honorable L. A. Simp-
son has. at the urgent solicitation of
many interested friends throughout the
Third Congressional District of North
Dakota, consented to become a candi-
date for the Office of Congressman of
said district. and
Whereas, Believing as we do. that
with his sixteen years of Legislative
experience, four years in the House of
Representatives and twelve years in the
State Senate, together with his keen
foresight and his quick grasp of intri-
cate problems, he is better qualified to
represent the new district than any of
the other gentlemen who are candidates
for that Office. and
Whereas, Through his extensive legal
practice of the past few years he has
become more widely known throughout
the nation than any of his competitors,
placing him in a better position to
secure cooperation for measures bene-
fetal to his constituents than any man
less we'll known could hope to secure.
be it therefore
Resolved, That we, the voters ol
Stark county and Dickinson. his home
city. in mass convention assembled.
hereby pledge our unanimous support,
and ourselves individually, to do all
in our power. in an honorable way. tt
secure his nomination at the Primaries

sequent election to that high Office fol
which he is candidate. that of Repre-
sentative of the Third Congressional

that is what must be insisted upon
throughout France, M. Leroy Beaulieu
declares. He estimates that Of the
average ten marriages usually one or
two bring forth no children, while the
remaining couples content themselves
with either n OF two children.
As IN additional announcement,
the economist recommends the estab-
tshment Of a system of state prem.
iums. The sum of 800, in his opin.
lon, should be given for each third
infant, as well as for each additional
infant. This premium should be dis.
trfbuted irrespective Of the fortune
OF the parents, and mi.!ionaires should
receive It as we'll as the poor. He
estimates that $30;000y000 per year
would be the cost to the state Of car
rying out this plan. He believes
that these premiums, If they did not
increase the birth rate, would certain.
ly hinder 1t from falling, and con-
siders 1t very much better to spend
the national money In this way than
to distribute 1t in old age pensions.
IT. is better, he says, to suppress TIE
obligatory pensions and have fifty to
sixty thousand more births per year,

WASHINGTON, D. c., July IA
new high record in the toll Of human
life has been reached in the progress
of the science of aviation during the
six months ending today. Last year

this year promises to eclipse the fig
ures of 1911. The number Of fatalit.
les for the six months of the present
year is Al, compared with 70 in the
whole year Of 1911.
Beginning with the death of Lieut..

killed in an aerOplane, in 1908, the
list of fatalities has rapidly increas.
ed. In 1908 one man lost his life, in
1909 four, in 1910 thirty-two, in 1911
seve1ty-three, and to date for the
present year forty-one persons have
been killed, making a total Of one

THE STATE rows OF TREES.
BY viii Chamberlain,

- WIZ 9sS
The proposal that rows Of trees be
planted across the prairie states 1t
close intervals, north and south IL on
ly q novel expression In behalf OF .
great cause.-the identifying and en-.
richment of ~ yet quite bleak west.
The proposition to lay out far reach
ing and scenic highways Is born Of
this same popular desire for q greater
and better country in the land Of the
swelling Missouri. @f~&
The tree idea is especially interest
ing. Suppose the Dakotas we're
adorned with lines of trees q mile
apart from British America to Ne
braska, and from the eastern lines OF
the two states to the western, in all
the varieties which would flourish in
this vast domain-cottonwood, boxel-
der, ash, maple, black walnut, cherry,
plum, apple, and many other kinds
we would be the biggest combination
of grove and orchard in the world,
and every Dakotan would be In 1t.
What could the rough, blizzard
winds of Canada do to such q coun.
try? Or the fiery Kansas blighters.
In a sense the trees would be a pillar
Of cloud by day, against the hot winds
which wreck our crops and a pillar
of fire by night-the dark cold night
of winter, mellowing and laughing at
its rigors. Dream Of q row OF cherry
trees 300 or 400 miles long. Wouldn't
that give the boys and girls and the
birds something to do In June?

you kindly publish this statement

PARIS, June 25.-Paul Ler0yABeau-
lieu, the eminent French economist,
has issued a stritin gappeal to the
Frenchmen and French women, In
which he points out the grave dan
ger of the depopulatiOn and the de-
naturalization of France by the re-
duced birth rate. Last year the deaths
exceeded the births In France by al
most $4,000, and the total number Of
births in 1911 was 100000 less than
the annual birth rate during the sec,
ond period Of the Second Empire.
M. Leroy-Beaulieu declares that the
drop in the French birth rate is i'm.
moral, due to the universal wish to
limit the family to the minimum. It
is not alone due to the fear Of the
expense Of bringing Up children, but
also, he claims, to the pure 0gotfsm of
married couples, who do not wish tc
be bothered by the rearing IT infants.
The ecoonmist has several remedies
for what he considers a very threat.
ening situation for the future OF
France. First he thinks 1t Is abs0-
lutely necessary to teach the French
man that the normal family should IN
.clude not fewer than three children.
This teaching should begin In the
schools, both public and denomina-
tional. so that it may be propagated
as a truth essential to the mainten-
ance Of the nation.
Furthermore, he favors the adop.
ton Of q law, to be applied without
exception, providing that no persons
shall hold public positions or be elig.
ible for government employment OF
any kind unless they have three chill
dren. The need Of the third child
