ABOUT THAT SNUFF.

The Ness affair, in which the man Ness
has been found guilty of attempts to
bribe legislators to vote against the anti
snuff bill reaches far beyond; the par
ticular attempt at bribing. First the
names of large number OF Legislators
have been mentioned by the accused
snuff agent as having received bribes at
the former session or were willing to take
them at the present session. These
names have been made public during
the investigation. There is no particle
of proof against these men, except that
Ness said that they were participant ts.
And yet there.is no doubt that such an
accusation, even by such man a. Ness,
Injuries. the parties very much, even
though it ought not to. Let one of the
most criminal individuals Of any locality
make charges Of dishonesty against one
of the best citizens of that community,
many people will believe and many
others will at least have their doubts.
Another phase of the matter is. that.
hardly one Of these, or for that matter
hardly any legislator can now vote
against the bin, even though he does it
consclentiously. Anyone who wants to
defeat the bill is IN dilemma. II he
votes for it, he may have to vote against
what he thinks is right, while if he votes
against it, he will be under suspicion IS
being bribed.

mistake; he would not let this bill come
before the house, because he thought it
unconstitutional. while President Taft
vetoed the Till after its passage by both
branches by decisive vote.
What the people who favor the bill
wanted Congess and the President to do,
was tc pass the bill and let the supreme
court decide as to it's constitutionality
By it's passage as stated above, it will
now doubtless be brought before that
tribunal. What the results will be is
only guess, but congress b wing pass
ed it over the veto will at least help the
judges to decide. 1t is getting so these
days that even supreme courts watch
and heed public sentiment.
Though, as matter of fact, this liquor
question involves other matters of inter.
state commerce in such a degree that
there may be good grounds for declaring
ie unconstitutional, though IN theory.
as regards the liquor traffic alone, it is
right.

rwo IMPORTANT PAMPHLETS.

We re in receipt Of two circulars from
the Agricultural College at Fargo which
should be read thougbttully and care
fully by every farmer IN this valley.
They are by Prof. Bolley and deal With
fax and WHEAT. Prot. Bol!ey goes to the
root of the troubles literally as we'll as
6gurativelv. Most farmers know that
he has proven that by persistant cult
walton flax can ne made to grow on land
in spite of its sickness" and that he
was the first man to diagnose the disease.
In circular No 81 he says:-
''W,lt Resistant seed as obtained by
this department is capable ofgrowing a
normal crop of fax. or even better, on
old wilt sick lands, previously long crop
ped to fax Such seed will keep this re-
sistance against wilt just as long AZ the
se'd is properly handled.
In circular No 33:
~ THAT through the practise OF
continuous wheating. soils in many cases
have become infected with from one to
three or four definite parasitic fungi
which attack after the same manner as
the fax sick fungi attack and destroy
the fax crop on old fax lands, and here.
fore such wheat lands may be said to be
"wheat.sick" in exactly the same sense
that old fax lands have previously been
termed ''flax-sick."
These statements are almost startling
They are practically exactly opposite te
the general ideas on these subjects.
Get both these circulars and read them
A postal card to the Agricultural College
will bring them.

THE ANTI-sNUFF BILL.

Ihe general sneezing caused by the
anti snuff bill which has been introduced
in the legislature is echoed all over the
state.
1t is perhaps the beginning OF the end
OF the use and sale Of tobacco generally.
After the experiences Of a considerable
length of life we think that in the
future, that tobacco will follow the sup.
preston Of alchoholic beverages.
But at the present time, it Is like what
an attempt to abolish the use OF liquor
would have been hundred years ago.
Theoretically the use Of tobacco is of no
use and in most cases positive disad-
vantage in health and other things,
particularly cleanliness, to the users.
But there are a very large number
Of people that do use tobacco, in it's
various forms. and these probably are in
a large majority over the non-users.
This is what the reformers are up against
when they seek tobacco legislation, at
the present.
Hence the proposed laws against the
two worst forms Of tobacco, cigarettes
and snuff. Because everybody recognizes
this fact, it makes it possible to attack
and restrict the sale Of these forms OF
tobacco, when it would be impossible to
get the legislature to entertain for a
moment any general prohibition law as
to tobacco.
But to attack any one form of tobacco
instead Of attacking the whole thing is
in itself a weakness. Furthermore it
makes it very difficult for the law maker
to distinguish the particular product
from the general product. Take cigar
cites for example. The matter of dis.
tinguishing cigarette paper from any
other paper is impossible, because the
user can use any old piece of paper or
even cornstalks with which to roll his
cigarettes. He can and mostly does use
the common sacked and canned smoking
tobacco for tilling-and no law can pre-
vent him from using his own make of
''cofiin nails" The ilnpossibllity Of pro-
hibiting the ''makings" Of cigarettes is
evident.
Then as to snuff. The only difference
possible to the law to distinguish it from
other forms Of tobacco is its fine and
dust like form. But if the user had to
do it, it would take but little labor, to
reduce the ordinary dry smoking tobacco
to the form of dust.
For the present, the state may legis-
late for pure tobacco products, but bel
yond that we doubt If Legislation against
any particular form Of tobacco can be
made efectual. #

Midland Plans New Extension.

Coopersto vn, N d.. Feb. 28th.-
President 81. 8. Duncombe of the Mid.
land Continental road, was an arrival
this week from Chicago, on a business
trip connected with the operation and
extension work of the line. He was &C.
companied by Mr.. Squires, one Of the
stockholders Of the company.
Mr.. Duncombe states that the Mid.
land company has made arrangements
for the construction of $50 miles of rail-
road north from jamestown the coming
season, and that material for some 81
miles of new line has already arrived.
1t has not yet been decided which di.
rectlon the extention north will follow,
whether by way of Courtenay or by way
Of Wimbledon Surveys are now being
run by engineers to determine this mat
ter definitely, and it is simply business
proposition with the company which line
the road follows. The. relative cost of
construction between the two proposed
routes, including the amount of perman.
ent business that can be secured, will be
the factors to determine this question.
President Duncombe is much pleased
with the business that has been done SO
far and with the prospects of the coming
season. Business is picking up on the
Midland, and the officers and stockhold-
ers are entering upon the new year with
qualification a. successful season, both
ID the matter. Of railroad construction
and the development Of new business
for the road already in operation.

THE WEBB LIQUOR GILL
PASSED OVER TAFT.s VETO,

Washington. March by . vote Of
IA to 96 the house repassed over Pres.
ident Taft's veto, tho Webb bill, pro-
hibiting shipments Of intoxicating liq.
uors into dry states.
Tho senate passed 1t over the veto last
night, and the bill now becomes q law.
Only on ono other time in the last fifteen
years has congress ovesridden q pres.
idents veto. That was when the Rainey
river dam bill was passed over Roosevelt's
disapproval. The move to override
Tait's veto was brought up almost at
the outset Of today's session, and the
vste was preceded oy general debate.
President Taft is not only president
bat he is also an eminent Judicial auth
osity. But when it comes to the execu-
tive or the legislative departments Of
government assuming the functions Of
the judiciary, we find objections which
are equals formidable as when the ju.
diciaro assume the functions of the exe-
sltive or the lay making bodies.
The use of the power of injunction by
courts is really an executive power and
its use, or rather its abuse, has been
most strongly criticised, and when the
judges proceed to write paragraphs
amendatory, or additional. to the writ.
ten law there is reason for strong adverse
criticism and grounds for the popular
cry for recall.
On the other hand when Mr.. Speaker
Cannon or Mr.. President Taft assume to
kill q Law which has been demanded by
. majority Of the people through we'll
known popular sentiment and through
their representatives in congress, on the
ground. Of unconstitutionality then these
executive members Of state are usurping
powers that belong as q separate depart
nent of the government. .s ii. I, s5s
Ofcourse, when such executive officers
fnd that proposed law is certainly and
slearly unconStitutionai, and thst II only
needs reference TO the constitution to
establish thatsfact, they should uss the

lsavs body would ever attempt to pass

Copper Leachine at the
 Nevada-DoueIas Property.

Leaching processes are having their inning in the copper world at present. In addition to those recently reported. the Nevada-Douglas Copper Co. s principals claim to have been success ful in conducting experiments for some months under the supervision of w. l.. Austin, bringing the process to a point where it can he operated con- mercially to produce copper at cost of to lOc. per pound. Laboratory re- suits show costs at Butte with a simi- lar process to be 5c. per pound. The Nevada-Douglas management Is jubl- lant over the success of these experi- ments on both the high and low-grade ores of the mines. The ore is pulver- ized and leached with l) per cent sul- phuric acid, and it Is claimed tests have shown that agitation for two hours will give an extraction of S5 per cent. After the copper is dissolved it is precipitated from the solution by an electrolytic process, the same as that employed in the Atlantic coast retiner- ies. That there is a good future for the teaching process as applied to cop per ores seems evident. and the min ing public will await with interest the results when tried on working scale. J. Parke Charming is of the opinion that teaching methods will prove most effective in saving the copper now lost in treating the ores of Miami. M. X $. Press.
