that power be put into the hands Of
the banking board as to granting Of
charters for new banks. The idea Of
the bill as explained by the author
was to prevent the establishment Of
banks where there was no need of
them. Ownes thought that the bill
might operate against the organiza-
ton of banks with local capital and
in Tabor OF line banks. Butler Of Ran
som thought it might put too much
power into the hands of the banking
board and France did not believe in
limiting the number of banks and
thought open competition was good
for the people. Hanson speaking for
the second time said that the bill was
in line with national legislation that
has been passed and that in all the
time the location of new national
banks had been under the control of
one man there had never yet been
an instance Of the abuse OF power
and in the present case it would be
in the hands Of three men, the gov.
ernor, the attorney general and the
secretary of state. When the bill
came to a vote there were 40 ayes, AZ
nays and % not voting and the bill
was lost. House bill No. 116, by Nor.

A recent report from Mandan says
that the Northern Pacific has abandon
ed the extension Of the Mott line for
this year and will push dts line from
Stanton west through northern Dunn
county. This does not look feasible
in every particular as the report
speaks of the line going north of Oak
dale and west through the Bad Lands.
The route of the Great Northern thru
Mckenzie county would seem to pre-
clude this course for the Stanton
branch. 1t would seem most likely to
build southwest from the Halliday
country to Manning. However, a great
many wild guesses are made regard
ing new railroad building at this time
of the year. A few months later when
the graders get into the field the peo-
pie will know better about the work.

SOIL SURVEY OF BARNES COUNTY

The Bureau of Soils, U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, has completed
the field work of the soil survey of
Barnes county, North Dakota, and the
report, which is now in course of pre-
paration, will be issued sometime dur
ing the coming summer. Barnes
county contains 1906 square miles, or
963,S40 acres.
The report will show the future az
ricultural prospect Of the county,
what crops are best suited to each diff
ferent type of soil found in the coun'
ty, and will contain information and
as to what methods
of farm management and tillage
should be practiced in order to secure
a larger yield and better quality of
crops and, at the same time; main
tain or increase the present state OF
fertility.
The soil mar of the county, which
will accompany the report will enable
the farmers to tell on what type or
types of soil their farms are located,
showing, as it does, in colors, the To-
cation and extent of each soil type
and also the location of all farm
houses, churches, schools, public roads
streams and railroads in the county.

Comments newspaper may make
upon libel suit is apt to be miscon'
strued, but certainly no reader will
accuse any newspaper Of going be-
yond the facts if it brands the action
of Judge Joseph A. Guthrie against
William r. Nelson as infamous
Colonel Nelson, a man of nation
wide fame, a philanthropst, gen.
tleman, a militant reformer, an edl-
tor with a zeal for public service,
criticized in his paper, the Kansas
City Star, the action of Judge Guth'
RE in a certain case, which was
matter of record The merits of that
criticism need not be considered mere,
It is enough to note that Judge
Guthrie summoned Nelson to court
on contempt charge, and that Gutll'
RE himself acted as complainant, pro-
secutor and judge, refused Nelson an
opportunity to make full defense,
and imposed sentence which had
been written out before Nelson was
brought into court.
If that situation can be beaten fol
insolence and intolerance of public
rights the average citizen would like
to know how and where. Mr.. Nell
sons article may have been unjust.
We do not pretend to know as to that.
But one needs to know nothing of the
merits of case, to know that when
judge acts as prosecutor, jury and
Judge in a case involving himself, the
limit, of judicial audacity have been
reached.
It is such things that make the de-
mand for judicial recall louder each
day. If they can go on without cor.
rection where are the boosted rights
of free Americans?
A few more cases like this one, and
that Idaho case, and the people will
begin to believe that Colonel Roose-
velt's attacks on judicial decisions
were amateurish and feeble in their
mildness and courtesy.-St. Paul Dis

sTEADFAST CONFIDENCE.
The Following Statement Should
Form Conclusive Proof of Merit
to Every Times-Record
Raadar

Could stronger proof of the merit
of any remedy be desired than the
statements of grateful endorsers who
say their confidence has been undi-
minished by lapse of time? These
are the kind of statements that are
appearing constantly in your local pa
pers for Doan's Kidney Pills. They
are twice-told and confirmed with new
enthusiasm. Can any reader doubt the
following? It's from a resident of
this locality.
Jacob Smith, 300 Second avenue
south, Jamestown, North Dakota,
says: II willingly confirm all said
about Doan's Kidney Pills when I pub
licly recommended them three years
ago. This remedy was used by a
member OF my family with satisfac-
tory results. We have found Doan's
Kidney Pills to be cure for back
ache and weak kidneys and have rec
commended them to many OF our
friends. In every instance where they
have been used, the best results have
followed"
Mrs. l.. A. Jackson, 1907 Fourth St.,
Valley City, N. Oak, says: Il have
found Doan's Kidney Pills to be the
best kidney medicine I ever used. Dur
ing the past three years I suffered
from attacks Of Kidney complaint.
Sharp pains often darted through my
loins and at times I had tired, dull
ache through the small Of my back.
The kidney secretions were inactive
and I felt depressed and languid. Fin
ally heard OF Doan's Kidney Pills and
got supply from the Dakota Drug Co.
They helped me at once and the con-
tents OF two boxes restored my kid
neys to good health"

Coast Defenses Seen in War
Departments Plan.

The War Department will recommend
to Congress in its estimates to be sub
mitfed in December that it appropriate
s57S, 300 for Notifications at Los Ange-
les for the coming fiscal year. In all
probability, Congress will appropriate
all or nearly all this sum. This means
that the work Of building up q great
system of forts at Los Angeles hirbor
is to be pressed.
The War Department, naturally. does
not give out that back of this is a
purpose rapidly to strengthen the Paci-
fic coast fortifications, but unquestion-
ably that inference will generally be
drawn from Its Recommendation.
The vast and growing commerciai
geles and Its tributary region make II
imperative from the standpoint Of mill
tary men that the fortifications there
be hastened with all reasonable expe-
dition.
The department officials having to
do with fortifications Will recommend
for the next fiscal year for Los Ange-
les $250.0o0 for emplacements, to be
