SOCIALISTS. BADLY
WHIPPED At M|N07
AGAINST THEM AT ELE('-
TION SATURDAY,

Minot, N. d., Oct. 20.-President
Davis. Commissioner Shaw, Magis-
| trate Lynch and the new candidate
for commissioner, Wilson. were
elected hy an overwhelming major
ity Saturday in the recall election
which was held here.
The entire socialist ticket was de-
feated including the former social
ist commissioner, Dorman, who was
the first to have a recall petition
filed against him.
Probably the largest vote was
pollcd that has ever been made in
the city, nearly 1900. votes being
cast Saturday., and many of them
by citizens who came from all parts
of the state to cast their vote.
The defeat of the socialists came
as landslide toward the close of
the day, the election being In doubt
until late in the afternoon, when
the Fifth and Sixth wards returned
an enormous vote almost solid for
the fusion party.
Out of the six wards in the city,
only one, the Third ward, gave
majority for the socialists, and this
" oi u 40 1AouC.. UP VI ooSAhILoIo oAAN
is practically impregnable for any
other party. The totals for the
eight candidates were as follows:
Davis IT'S, LeSeuer 359, Shaw
7O5, Eisele 1926, Wilson 1872, Dor
man 383, Lynch 773, Kelso 326.
This gives Davis a majority of
Alt votes over LeSeuer, his oppon-
ent, and was 200 votes more than
the fusion party looked for for their
candidate.
The outcome of the election clear
ly demonstrates the intense feeling
in the city against socialism, the
whole fight, from start to finish, be-
ing not Ii personal one, but direct
issue of anti-socialism versus so
cia1ism.
Almost every farmer to be seen
on the streets Saturday was carry
ing an armful Of trees, all of which
will be planted either this fall or
next spring on farms near this city.
Almost a half a carload arrived
here the day before and the various
farmers were notified to come in
and get the trees. The salesman
who took the orders last summer
was good one, as the entire ship
ment will amo unit to several thous-- s !
and dollars.

RETURNS FROM FARGO MON.
DAY AND GIVES INTEREST
Inc: INTERVIEW.
Potato Land Selling for
sl00 10 $l25 per Acre
MAY SHIP IN FIVE CARLOADS
or DAIRY STOCK FROM
THAT PLACE LATER.

President A. G. Wiper of the
First National Bank of this city
returned on Monday last from Far
go. Moorhead and Detroit, Mimi.
where he went about a week be-
fore with the intention Of buying
about five carloads of dairy cattle
next spring. lie spent the entire
week in Minnesota just across the
state line from Fargo, and was
greatly impressed with the style OF
farming used by the farmers there,
He say: that potato raising is
the chief occupation, and this in
connection with raising hogs and
milking cows, makes it possible for
farmers to make a 5ood living on
40 acres and less. Land is selling
at 500 to 1925 per acre and is
paying interest on much greater
amount. This is the greatest po-
tato country in the entire north
west, and very little of anything
else is raised. This year the far
fers came out very much to the
good as the average crop was 200
bushels to the acre and the price
paid at the cars is 20 cents per
bushel. The price is somewhat
larger than that received in other
places where poorer quality OF
spuds are raised. In talking with
several farmers Mr.. Wiper learned
that taking year in and year out it
cost the farmers just about rs
cents per hcshel to raise the tubers,
and every cent they received over
that amount was clear profit. Even
last year when they were compell-
ed to sell their crop for 30 to 40
cents they made little.
Before leaving for home Mr.. Wip-
er made arrangements with D. G.
for some 3G years and knows ev-
erybody in the cohntry, to drive
arybody in the country, to drive
around among the various dairy
men and ii dairy cattle could be
bought right to buy five carloads
for Bowbclls Mr.. Ross was for a
a time resident of Ryder and at
one time was candidate for clerk
of court of Ward county against
Knute Hagen, so is quite we'll known
to people here. The breeds OF
cattle raised mostly in that section
according to Mr. Wiper are the
though there are a few
H0lsteins and roam Durhams and
occasionally herd of Jerseys. The
Jerseys, however. do not do very
we'll as they are all subject to tub
crculosis. While on this trip Mr..
Wiper saw a herd of $50 cattle OF 20
this breed which had shortly be-
fore been inspected and "A of the
herd were condemned. This same
herd had been inspected year be-
fore and about the same number
had been destroyed.
Every farmer there raises large
of hogs and these are made
to pay big. At the present time
however, cholera is killing them off
last, and it will be with great diff
fculty that the disease is eradicat-
ed. Mr.. Wiper on inquiry found
that the disease started there by
the shipping in of outside hogs for
breeding purposes, and in this con-
nection asks The Tribune to warn
all farmers here not to ship in any
outside hogs for fear that Burke
county get the same dose as did
he Minnesota farmers.

Some American newspapers have
been very much disturbed over the

statement of who owns the plant,
who owns the bonds if there are any,
and to whom the business is in debt.
They have tested the constitutionality
of the law and had to submit to it.

penses for the four departments for
the last quarter were $654.49, $123.-
11,$247.51 and $333.35. The expense
accounts for the corresponding quar-
ter of 1911 were, $5S1,7O, $1121.59,
$54.S7 and $51O.15.
The increase in salaries in the de-
partment of vital statistics is explain
ed by the statement that in 1911 the
work here was just beginning and a
full force was not employed.
Supreme Court Saving
Quite nice saving is noted in the
expenditures of the supreme court,
upward of $1,000. Salaries in the last
quarter amounted to $1621,00, COM
pared with $2927.O0 in the second
quarter of 1911. The expenses for the
quarter just closed were $S64.40 This
is compared with $724.b7 for 1911 in
the corresponding quarter. The total
appropriation for this department for
the two years was $4,000. The COL
lections of fees by Clerk I. w. Hart
for the quarter just closed were
$1075.90 compared with $922.s5 for

BRYAN NEEDS THE MONEY.

William Jennings Bryan is secre-
tary of state and receives a salary of
$4,000 a year. He went out to
give some Chautauqua lectures in
Ohio short time ago, giving as his
reason for doing it that he could not
live on his salary and had to supple
ment it with the lecture money.
This brings out some very peril
nent questions relative to the subject
Can't a member of the presidents cab
met live in Washington on $1,000 a
month? Did not Mr.. Bryan know
all about these matters when he ac-
cepted the appointment? Is an Of
ficer privileged to sell his services to
the government for $1,000 month
and then go out and sell them again
to lecture bureau? If Mr.. Bryans
time is worth something in the office
is he doing his country justice to
leave the office work to subordinates?
If he cannot live on the salary the
government allows him, would it not
be better for the country to raise the
salary than have the rest made up by
the people who go to the lectures?
Mr.. Bryan is not the only man
holding office in Washington who has
gone out lecturing. Senators and
representatives do much of this thing
but usually during the recesses of
congress. Many of them go out dur
ing the sessions to make campaign
speeches discussing with the people
the principles and policies of the par
ty, but this is not done to make mon
ey, Notwithstanding he is reputed to
be wealthy man. Since he first be-
came candidate for the presidency
he has made g great deal of money
lecturing, writing and campaigning,
and if we take him at his word, he is
either getting into bad financial
straits or he is unwilling to use any
of the wealth he has laid up, during
his term of office, Notwithstanding
the duties of the Office are very pres
sing, owing to the many international
complications, such as the trouble
with Mexico, with Japan, the turmoil
among the nations of Europe where
many American interests are affected,
and the differences over the Panama
canal tolls to be settled V it'll England;
all broad deep questions demanding
much study and attention from the
secretary of state.

DECLINE OF THE CHURCH.

The Country Church, by G. o. Gill
and Clifford Pinchot, presents the first
scientific study of the subject its title
connotes. There have been many gen.
Civilizations based upon more or less
haphazard observation; but the au-
thors of this book two typical coun-
ties-one in Vermont, one in New
York-and made an intensive study,
covering the last twenty years, of ev-
cry Protestant church within their
borders, except those in the one city
that one of the counties contains. For
fifteen years Mr. Gill has been a
county minister and the book is pub
lished by authority of the Federal
Council of tho Churches of Christ In
America; so it's sympathetic attitude
toward the subject is beyond ques-
ton.
The authors find that country
church attendance in both counties
has declined during the twenty years
by about one-third; but among rural
churches, as distinguished from those
in the larger villages, the falling of
in attendance has been decidedly
greater than that. In both counties
country churches are less literally
supported than they we're twenty
years ago, and ministers salaries,
when measured in purchasing power,
have shown a marked decrease.
Though the Protestant population
in both counties is nearly pure native
stock, almost onethird of the minis
tiers are foreign-born o of foreign
born parentage All the figures show
a declining institution. There is
deeper question that the authors do
not touch upon, as no statistical me-
thod can reach it-namely, the rel
ative actual influence of the church
upon those who still attend it's Sun
day services and contribute to it's
support.
One point brought out by the
authors is most significant: "The
more numerous the churches, the
greater the loss in attendance" -
In small communities having only
one church the loss in attendance was
markedly less than in like commun-
tiles having two or more churches
Probably the Protestant country
church will continue to be a declin-
ing institution so long as large
part of it's energies are absorbed in
competing with itself.
