derSon County News:
Brer. Saufley and "the" Con-
gresham made a flying visit"
to the State of Adair several
days ago and on their return, in
a three column "write-up" of
that good and thriving city, he is
satisfied that "the" Congressman
will carry the county handsome
ly. Brer. Saufey, did your can
didate display any effort to get
Casey and Adair in this district?
If so, what Representative and
Senator did he ask to support the
redistricting bill, as passed? Did
he ever in private, or public in
terview, before the bill passed,
say one word in behalf of the
gallant Casey and Adair demo-
cracy coming into this district?
No. He is one of his interviews
before the bill passed:
"Anent the taking out of the Eighth
district the county of Rockcastle,
Congressman Harvey Helm, who repre-
sents the Eighth, says: Il characterize
the effort to put Rockcastle in the
Eleventh as extremely small politics,
and that the people behind the move
are making it for reasons other than
the general good and welfare of the
party A"
Does he express in the above
interview how crazy" and
! happy" he would be if they
were placed in his district? No.
Not one word fell from his lips
in approval of same. You know
the reason why he didn't? He
didn't believe that gallant Sena-
tors Hubble and Bowling could
pass the bill through the Senate
and House, bringing those two
; splendid counties into this dis
trict and taking them out of the
| republican wilderness, but they
did pass the bill and the Governor
: signed it and the two Senators
above urged him to do it. DID
your Congressman write or wire
the Governor to sign the BILL
No. Did you? No. Here is
another interview of your Con
gresham, after the bill haC
passed, sent to the Courier-Jour
nal, on March 10th, from Arthur

most excellent gentleman anC

DAMAGE CASE ATTORNEYS.

II e.... -
North Dakota needs a law to bar at
torneys from taking cases in which
there are contingent fees. Such a
measure would prevent more than half
the damage cases and greatly reduce
the amount Of litigation. This would
cut down the expenses Of the courts
and relieve the burden on the tax
payers.
There are attorneys who have little
other business than this class of prac-
tice. Some Of these are regarded as
the vultures of the profession. If there
is no legitimate claim to advance
some of them will manufacture actions
in the hope of making the defendants
settle to avoid trials. This form OF
blackmaIl is not popular. The average
defendant is well informed as to the
methods Of the claim sharks and the
custom Of fighting back is becoming
more general.
The next legislature might greatly
relieve the courts by ~enacting a law
to render null and void any judgment
secured in an action in which the at,
torney Of record had a contingent in
terest.

Some railway systems have am
nounced they will not guarantee Pull
man reservations to passengers riding
on passes-in case there are pay pas
sengers On the train who cannot obtain
berths. A movement a been started
to require persons riding on Isl to
stand-in case there are cash passen-
gers who cannot find seats in day
coaches.
The extension of this system to
street railways as well as steam lines
will doubtless be a development Of the
nea future. Men and women who pay
their fares have a right to expect ac-
commodations. Commercial men the
nation over have been instrumental in
forcing concessions from steam rail-
ways-which once gave preference to
passhoiders over all other passengers.
Without the pay passengers trans
portation lines would soon go out Of
business. Yet the pay passengers have
not been given the consideration they
merit. 1t is no m sight to see
passholders enjoying comforts which
are denied men who have bought their
tickets.

The New York Journal OF Commerce
had the following editorial:
Some interesting statements Of
members Of the produce exchange ap-
peared in our news columns yesterday
regarding the extent to which our corn
supply is converted into materials for
breweries and distilleries, and the ef-
feet 1t has upon the price of meat and
THE cost of living. 1t was said that so
per cent Of the corn produced In this
country last year is being used by the
brewing and distilling establishments.
and that more is now used in produc-
stng distilled and fermented liquors
than the entire crop of twenty years
Eago. 1t was also stated that all the
ESQ, 600, 900 bushels OF barley raised in
Rthis state last year went to the dis
Itilleries. According to this authority,
tsince a process for converting corn
into malt was acquired by the Stand
plant has been established which
transforms 10000 bushels a day into
material for manufacturing drink. One
kresuIt is said to be the advance in the
price Of corn from so to IS cents q
tbushel in the last twenty-five years,
lad q greater increase in the cost OF
beet, poultry and other corn-fed prod
f0cts, partly due to that cause.
1t would seem to indicate that one
OF the many causes of the high cost OF
living is the consumption Of food prod
fncts in making drink. Much rye and
barley have long been used up in this
way and now it appears that a very
