| QUESTION OF FRUIT PRICES.

Fargo, N. D., June Ito The For
UNI: Will you allow me space in your
paper to ask the wholesale fruit deal
ers Of the city Of Fargo, why it is that
strawberries need to be so much
higher in Fargo than in Sioux Falls,
s. D. The Sioux Falls Argus Leader
of May 20, quotes Strawberries as re-
failing four boxes for CSC, and adj
vises people to lay in their supply for
canning as the berries have probably
reached the bottom price, while in
Fargo the best you can get is two
boxes for Csc.
The fact is, fruit prices in Fargo are
from rs per cent to so per cen higher
at all times than they are in Sioux
Falls. In spring when the first ber-
ries were in the market the price In
Fargo was 75c per quart, while in
Sioux Falls the same berries were sell
ing for soc per quart. 1t looks to me
as though Fargo needed to institute
a fruit trust investigation. There is
also about the same difference in the
price of vegetables, butter and eggs
as against Sioux Falls.

Il eLovED MAN.

What has become Of the old fash
toned man who always wore gloves?
Winter and ummer he used TO pa
rade his agony before the public.
Also he generally wore a high hat
and a long coat-and a white linen
bow-and made everybody he APP
preached uncomfortable especially
when the thermometer was 1o2 in the
shade-and the soda fountains were
working their mixers in relays.
The sombre gloved man. who al
ways looked as though he might be a
hired mourner, has gone. The world
can't stand him any longer. But he
has a successor in the natty boy with
lavender socks and yellow chamois
gloves, also a stick.
But then haberdashers must have
fancy handkerchiefs and r~ose-colored
neckties and socks and yellow gloves
to decorate their windows with and for
the Quitting Of chorus men. Occa-
sionaIly some man who even works for
a living Is misled by the fashion notes
and buys some Of these things. Don't
throw bricks at him when he wanders
along the streets to be admired. He
is probably young and will outgrow it.

JUNE is POPULAR.

Ask almost any one which Is the
most popular month Of the year-and
June will be the answer. They will
have plenty reason. It is the month
of the greatest sunshine, the longest
days and the shortest nights. It is
vacation month. 1t is convention
month-and the ideal time for fishing
excursions. The air and the earth Is
fresh in June. The flowers are at
their brightest and the grass is green
est.
Then it's the month of the sweet
girl graduate and the sweeter June
brides. It's the month of June straw
berries and cherries and all the other
delicious fruits that delight both the
eve and the palate. There are in
Vulnerable other reasons why June is
the most popular month-but why
enurnerate them-wheR almost every
one has a different idea OF his own?

BOILED WATER

Grano Tribune: While boiling water
on a gasoline stove. Edward Fitzgerald,
a bachelor living north OF Grano, was
seriously scalded about the face, eyes
and forhead.
A syrup pail was used by Fitzgerald
in which to boil the water and to this
he had pressed down the top. Knowing
that the water had been boiling he was
in the act of lifting the pail from the
stove when an explosion occurred, the
boiling water therefrom striking him
full in the face. The flesh from the
cheek bones, forehead and around the
eyes was fairly cooked and it is feared
that he may lose the sight Of at least
Of his eyes.

A. c. COMMENCEMENT.

The people of North Dakota take a
justiaable pride in the North Dakota
Agricultural college. And they should.
1t is one Of the four largest agricul-
tural schools in the United States. 1t
has members OF it's faculty who have
international reputation.
Today the graduating exercises were
held and the work of the year is over.
Twenty nine young men and women
were given diplomas. These diplomas
are not empty honors. They mean that
the recipients have a practical educa-
tion-that they are self-supporting
from the moment they leave the col
lege. 1t is a great honor to any state
to be able to send forth young men and
women splendidly equipped-not only
for earning their own living-but quail
ified to improve the conditions they
finland to add to North Dakota's
store Of information-to increase its
producttveness-to assist in it's de-
velopment-and to so greatly add to
its wealth.
Fargo feels a great sense of pride in
being the location of such a splendid
institution.
President Worst his splendid corps
OF educators-and his large BODY Of
students have a wide popularity here
and they deserve it.

The influence of the southern dele
gates in the republican national con-
vention has been a source Of comment
for many years. In this campaign the
matter is reaching the acute stage.
The following from The Toledo Blade
is fairly expressive of general senti-
ment:
There were 52,573 republican voters
in Virginia in 1908, somewhat more
than there were plurality votes for the
democratic nominee. But in the repub-
lican convention the delegates of these
52,573 voters can outvote the delegates
sent by 10000 republicans In Mime

The republican party of South Caro-
line is a j~est--3,963 in 1908. Just the
same. the South Carolina delegates
could nullify the votes Of 214,39s Colo
RADIO republicans as represented by It's
delegates IL the two states backed com
peting candidates. Which would not
be a jest.
The delegates Of 1882 Georgia re.
publicans will nullify the votes OF tht
delegates of 247.747 Wisconsin republi.
cans for their favorite son.

HELLO BILL.

Fargo has the latch string hanging
on the outside. A great big, whole
hearted welcome is extended to the
Best People on Earth. They are here
to attend the second annual session Of
the North Dakota State Association of
Elks.
Fargo wants every visiting member
pf the order to feel that he is among
his friends and that the whole town
ls his while here-and II there is any
thing that he wants to carry away with
him-it will be all right to cart it
llonE.
Members of $50 have been working
hard to make the state association
meeting a success. President Page
and Secretary Mcdonald of the state
association, the executive committee
the members Of the various other conn
mittees have devoted a lot Of time and

selves-and to please the visitors.
The local business m~en-whether
EIks or not-have co-operated in a
splendid manner and the handsome
street and store decorations are the re-
suit.
The auto parade following the state
association meeting, will be a feature
of the evening. Tomorrow morning the
big Elk parade will occur and tomor-
row afternoon the Elks will find some
thing to interest and entertain al the
state fair grounds.
Fargo wants the Elks to have the
time Of their lives. The people realize
that the Elks are dispellers of gloom
distributors of joy and gladness-and
just as eager to relieve distress and
suffering as they are to have a good
time.

ATTACK ON LORIMER
is BEGUN
Continues IRON rage one.

tention that Lorimer's case Is res judi
cata, or has been decided once by the
senate and cannot be reopened. The
majority OF the committee which made
the second investigation holds that
Lorimer cannot be tried again on prac-
ticaEy the same charges on which the
senate by a vote of 46 to 40 ac-
quilted him March /, 1911. The minor
ity holds this reasoning does not ap-
ply by Lorimer's case.
The complexion Of the senate is all
tered considerably since Lorimer's vim
dication and this leads to much specu-
latior. 1t has been reported the poll
made by Lorimer's friends convinc-
ed them they could not expect more
than forty votes and that many sena-
tors had declined to indicate their
views now that Lorimer has been adj
vised to resign.
In two years Lorimer's election has
been under fire it has furnished prob
ably more sensations than any other
case of its kind. Lorimer was elected
by the Illinois Legislature May II, 1909,
after a prolonged deadlock in which
the names of more than 100 candidates,
democrats and republicans had been
presented ~unsuccessfulIy. However, 1t
was not until nearly a year later that
the validity of his election was chal-
lenged when the now famous comics
sion of Charles A. White, a member
Of the Illinois legislature was publish
ed charging that he received $1,000
from Lee O'Neil Browne, the demo-
- - 49, IVs-As- IA.,1a
of representatives in return for his
vote for Lorimer and also $500 as a
| share OF a general corruption fund
Then in rapid succession followed a
sensational series of Confessions" by
other members of the legislature. These
confessions however, were later modi-
fed or repudiated with the exception
of Whites.
The other men claimed they had re-
ceived money out of the general fund
and not in return for their Lorimer
votes, and in some cases charged in
timidiation by the Cook county auth
critics to wiring the confession from
them.
Lee o'Neil Browne, was charged
with distributing the "Lorimer money
1 pubF was dCqulLCSu Dy a jury anu the
other indictments were auashed. The
charges Of jury bribing in the Browne
case were unsustained in court.
A committee of United States sena-
tors reported the charges of corrup-
ton not proved and held Lorimers
title to the seat valid. Immediately
after, the Illinois legislature appointed
a committee Of it's own to investigate
and this committee reported that Lori
mer would not have been elected with
out bribery and corruption and the
Illinois senate by vote of SO to 10 en-
dorsed that view.
In the meantime after a series OF
notable debates in the United States
senate, Lorimer was vindicated there
46 to 40 with five senators not vot-
ing.
The second investigation brought out
the charge that Edward Hines, a mil
lionaire lumberman had raised a fund
of 100000 to put Lorimer over but
the majority Of investigating commit
tee exonerated Hines as well as Lori
mer.

WILL TAFT VETO BILL?
Continued Flom Page one

Continued Fiom Page One
for the reciprocity act, placing the
onus entirely on the shoulders of Pres
ident Taft and "a former president"
meaning, of course, Colonel Roosevelt.
Persons who heard these speeches,
especially the first one, which was de-
livered by Representative S~hackleford
of Missouri, q member of the ways and
means committee, which must pass
upon the metal schedule as it came
back from the senate, were convinced
that many democrats are casting about
for a loop hole through which to get
from under the reciprocity act. Many
reasons are assigned for this attitude
one the part OF the democrats, who
voted almost solidly in favor of reci-
procity, while a majority Of the repub-
licans in both districts voted against
1t. In the first place, the Canadians
have repudiated reciprocity, at least
in the eastern provinces, although 1t
| still is a live issue in the Canadian
northwest. The primary returns in
several state also have indicated very
clearly that reciprocity is very un-
popular on this side Of the line. Leader
Underwood and Speaker Champ Clark
are candidates for the democratic nom
nation for president and both are
keeping their ears to the ground. Like
wise upwards Of 200 democrats in the
house are candidates for reelection
and they also are ~endeavoring to adj
lust their sense of hearing to the
sentiment back home.
Therefore, many democrats are in
clined to thank Senator Gronna OF
North Dakota for having brought UP
the reciprocity question in the way he
did, although the Gallinger substitute
for his amendment, repeating the act
was finally adopted, it going even
further than that Of the Flickertail
senator. 1t was a safe bet that the
democrats of the house would not have
initiated the repeal Of the reciprocity
act. In the first place, they would be
a bit afraid that the newspaper editors
might be alienated on account of g
possible increase in the price OF print
paper by reason of replacing q tariff
on imports from Canada. Then, too
they had a year ago claimed whatever
of glory that promised to follow in the
wake Of reciprocity n were at al
times prepared to place any blame
upon the shoulders Of Mr.. Taft.
But there are numerous indications
that they will not long hesitate to find
an excuse to stand by the senate
amendment and put 1t UP to the presi-
dent, in the hope, OF course, that MIR
Taft will promptly veto the bill, reci-
procity repeal and all. thus putting
himself in a deeper hole than ever witt
the farmers Of the country. Close
friends OF the president are confident
he will veto the metal schedule IL q
goes to him and say he could moi ds
otherwise and be consistent. HavinE
vetoed the cotton bin during the ex-
~traordinary session and with 1t a par
tial revision of the iron and stee
schedule, on the ground that the tariff
board had not investigated the subjects
involved, Mr.. Taft's friends say nj
other course In open to him now.
