From the start, his recovery was
hardly expected. He became delir-

his spirit departed.
Mr. Haskell was very well and IA

In the lobby investigation there has
been brought out no evidence Of the
existence of scandals. Men have in
terviewed members of both houses Of
congress, and have sought to have
duties arranged to suit them. In
some cases official representatives of
various interests have been kept in
Washington for the purpose of in
fluencing legislation in the desired
manner. But so far there is no evil
dence that improper methods have
been employed to secure the results.
Senator Kenyon doubtless hit the cen
ter of the whole thing when he de-
scribed some Of the attentions paid to
our Lawmakers at Washington.
They are approached socially, dined
and wined and showered with atten-
tons. This method of approach is
skillful and. effective if well done.
And it is matter which is outside
the field of legislation. We are not
likely to adopt policy of surround
ing our members of congress with
armed guards for fear somebody may
speak to them, nor to put them in the
custody of bailiffs and sheriffs as we
do members of juries while they are
considering cases. Neither are we
likely to appoint committees to scrut-
inize the dinner invitations which leg
islators may receive lest by chance a
senator be inveigled to dinner as the
guest of representative of trust.
We are likely to continue along prac-
tically the same lines as before, as
Stunning that member of congress
remains a free agent, at liberty to
dine when and where he will, to talk
with whom he will, and to use sense
in the choice of his associates. Still,
if the investigation does nothing more
than it has done, it's effect may be
useful, as it may tend to check some
practices which, unrestrained, might
become dangerous. - Grand Forks

The precipitation Of moisture in
Minot and vicinity from April l to
June I, is 2.16 inches below the aver
age, yet the condition Of the soil is
ideal and crops look well. We had far
more rainfall during the same months
in 1911, yet the country was alarmed
as it well might be. This year, how
ever, the earth was fairly soaked with
moisture and less rainfall was re-
quired. Major Murphy, 500 agricul-
tural expert, went into % fields in
this vicinity last week with his soil
auger and found the content of mois-
ture sufficient. In some fields, where
the crops had been disced in, he found
the weeds making more progress than
the grain, and unless we have an alb
undance of rain at once, such fields
are expected to produce little more
than beautiful crop of weeds. On
the average, the crops appear vel!
and where the proper methods were
the prospects could hardly
be better.

Talking about vacations, the city
man usually wants to go to the coun-
try and we suspect that the bill of
fare at the average farm house has
something to do with it. Fact of the
matter, we like good country cooking,
too. We have visions of ham and
eggs, back bone and sauer kraut, ba-
con and greens, corned beef and cab
bage, boiled pork and beans, chicken
pot pie, stewed chicken with yellow
gravy, or Maryland fried chicken.
Also hot breads, including corn dodg-
er. For desserts, pies in variety, boil
ed apple dumplings, or strawberry
shortcake in season. And for drink,
milk with cream and buttermilk.
N. B. We haven't yet decided just
where we will spend our vacation.

Buy your binder Irvine early. The
Independent understands that the
dealers will most likely have a hard
time securing all the Irvine they need
when they want it and the price is
apt to be cent or two higher than
last year. Sisal Irvine that sold for
IL cents pound last year, may be full
ly two cents pound higher. Manila
is going to be mighty scarce article
and little used. Jute Irvine will be on
the market but it is said to be q
coarser Irvine and not as popular as
the sisal grade. The sisal growers in
Yucatan are being backed by a
wealthy organization and prices are
being held up this year.

Some folks think that newspaper
men are too wicked to pray, but we
have several right here in North Da-
kota who do. The following earnest
little prayer appeared in the editorial
columns of Carl Nelson's Cando Dem
ocrat last week:
"Give me neither too many adver-
Users and subscribers, lest I be full
and deny Thee, nor too few advertis-
ers and subscribers, lest be poor and
steal" The man who said something
like this thousands of years ago was
granted his wish by the Lord. After
considering the matter the editor of
this paper has decided to put in the
same kind of a wish, and is working
like buzz-saw to make good on the
last part of the wish, at least.

MONEY FOR GOOD ROADS.

The county treasurer of this coun-
ty received last week from the Secre-
tary of State the sum of $677.00, that
being this county's share of the So
registration fee paid by the motor
vehicle owners in the county from
Jan. list until June LIST, 1918. The
registration fee should be paid and
the tags put on the machines the first
day Of January. But many put off
doing so, as long as possible, and so
unconsciously prevent the money
being ready for use in building up the
roads that they use. Indeed some are
so lacking in public spirit that even
at this time they are still using the
1912 tag, or no tag at ALL The law
requires every police officer to arrest
anyone running an automobile or mo-
tor cycle without a 1913 tag, and
We understand that it is the intention
of the local officials to enforce the
law.
Last year the fund from this Motor
Vehicle registration was nearly $780,
100000, and every dollar of it went
back to the county whose citizens
paid it in-except the cost of the
tags, postage, etc. This year the
amount will be larger because there
are more automobiles and the law is
being better enforced.
The counties are supposed to use
this fund for the building of good
groads-and many of them do. 1t is
to the Automobiles interests that the
money is so used. With the amount
increasing each year and rightly used
in a few years the counties of North
Dakota should have one of the best
systems of highways in the nation.
But it cannot be done by allowing
some to pay the registration fee and
letting others escape, or by not using
the money as the law requires and
contemplates that it shall be used.
