BANKING LEGISLATION.

DAN NA1NG LE0xSLATION.
We oppose the so-called Aldrich bill, or
the establishment of central bank, and
we believe the people Of the country will
be largely freed from panics and con-
sequent unemployment and business de-
preston by such a systematic revision
OF our banking laws as will render tenn
porary relief in localities where such re-
lief is needed. with protection from con-
troll or dominion by what is known as the
money trust.
Banks exist for the accommodation Of
the public. and not for the. control Of
business. All legislation on the subject
Of banking and currency should have for
its purpose the securing Of these accom-
to the public and of complete protection
from the misuse OF the power that wealth
gives to those who possess 1t.
We condemn the present methods of
/ favored banks. largely situated in or con-
trOlled by Wall street in return for
political favors, and we pledge our party
to provide. by law. for their deposit by
competitive bidding in the banking IN
stitutions of the country. national and
state. without discrimination as to local
ity, upon approved security and subject
to call by the government
RURAL CREDITS.
| OF equal Importance with the question
of currency reform Is the question OF
rural credits or agricultural finance.
Therefore we recommend that an investi-
cation of agricultural credit societies In
foreign countries be made so that it may
be ascertained whether a system of rural
| credits may be devised suitable to condi-
! tions in the United States; and We also
| favor legislation permitting national
| banks to loan a reasonable proportion OF
their funds on real estate security.
| We recognize the value of vocational
education and urge federal appropriations
| for such training and extension teaching
in agriculture in cooperation with the
several states.
| WATERWAYS.
We renew the declaration in our last
platform relating to the conservation OF
our natural resources and the develop
ment of our waterways. The present dew

TARIFF REFORM.

criminal provisions OF the antitrust
law against the officers of those corpora !.
tions after the court had declared that
from the undlsputed facts in the record
they had violated the criminal provisions
OF the law.
We regret that the Sherman antitrust
law has received a judicial construction

we favor the enactment of legislation
which will restore to the statute the
strength OF which II has been deprived by

 The Martinique has been called the most homelike hotel in New York. We are sure you will find this to be true, because we have directed our efforts to make 1t so.
 The living apartments at the Martinique are cheerful and we'll proportioned; equipped with tasteful, appropriate furniture, just as they would be in a well appointed dwelling.
 We have never believed you could take so much stone and so much furniture and produce a hotel any more than you can a home. It is the thoughtful and courteous attitude of the employees who serve you that gives to formal furnishings an atmosphere of good cheer and friendliness.
 Many of our employees have grown up in our service. This makes great difference in the possible comfort of hotel.

Crop Rotation of Permanent
Benefit.

R. C. Doneghue, Prof. of Agronomy,
N. D. Agricultural College.
While all Of the causes of low yields
of the small grains cannot be removed,
practically all that are of immediate
Importance can be controlled in a large
measure by we'll planned system of
crop rotation. When crops are grown
in rotation and proper tillage methods
are followed, they will suffer less from
dry weather than when they are grown
continuously. Crop rotation is usually
of more Importance than the methods
of tillage used in this respect, although
both are important. In most rotations
more roughage is produced than can be
disposed of by the work stock on the
farm. Hence, more animals must be
kept and more manure produced to re-
turn to the land to keep up the supply
of organic matter. The organic matter
in the soil may also be maintained by
growing grasses and legumes Glover,
alfalfa, peas) in the rotation. Inas-
much as not enough manure can be
produced on farm to keep up the or
ganic matter, no system of cropping is
complete unless it contains one of these
crops. The legumes have the additional
value of being able to increase the nj
trogen content of the soil on which they
are grown.

They assert that the Servians
would be certain to gain a victory
against the Austrian forces, armed
with old artillery, while such a war
would threaten the very existence of
the Hapsburg monarchy, because it
would be impossible for Austria to oc-

NO FOUL PLAY.
Mrs. Vltze Came to Death by Her
Own Hands.


The anxiety which has been felt by
many regarding the analysis report of
DIR. Ladd of the A. C. upon the vital
organs of the late Mrs. Vitze, whom it
is thought committed suicide recently,
has been dispelled and the matter put
to rest says the Mott Pioneer Press.
The report issued by Prof. Ladd,
through H. L. White, taxicologist, re
veals the fact that small amount of
chloroform in concentrated form was
all that could be found of poisonous
nature within the confines of the stom-
ach, and thereby corroborating the ad
vanced theory that the deceased met
death by her own hands.
The report was received by DR.. Red
man last week and is in the hands of
Acting Coroner Lee. 1t is lengthy
document but contains nothing further
of any particular interest to the gene
raj public. aside from the additional
fact that the lungs also contained ex-
tracts of chloroform.
The coroner's jury met in the Offices
of DR.. White on Monday evening and
found verdict which was in effect as
above stated.
Mr.. A. D. Penniwill of Mount Pleas
ant, Ia., arrived last week and took
the little Vitze boy into custody. Mr..
Penniwell is the first husband of the
deceased, father of little Johnny, and
is entitled to the care Of the child.
The father left Tuesday with his son
for their Iowa home.
Before leaving Mr.. Penniwill left the
following note for publication in the
Press:
To Whom It May Concern:
A statement of facts: Mrs. Clara
E. Vitze, nee Penniwill, to my absolute
personal knowledge, and according to
medical advisers, has not been in her
right mind since December 1909. She
was not jealous hearted woman in
her true mind. Her actions in many
respects have been out of reason since
the above date. A letter mailed in
Mott to me shows that her death was
accidental or resulted from spell of
insanity. She was accustomed to u.s.
ing chloroform for toothache and neu-
ralgia, and frequently would sleep from
six to eight and ten hours.
Respectfully,
A. D. Penniwill.
