mndependenee and Journalism"

Collier's: To most folks an indie
pendent paper is n that supports
their side; the one that supports the
other side is partisan. Also, there
seems to be something in human ma
ture which reacts against the idea OF
a, really independent paper-a paper,
that is to say, which supports the bet
ter acts of a man or a party and con-
dennis the less desirable ones Per-
haps it is mixed up with the untver-
sal human liking for the quality of
loyalty. To interrupt a course OF
praise seems, of course, like the un-
pleasing trait Of disloyalty. But is
there anything else for a really indie
pendent paper to do? Many a paper
which regards itself as independent
merely contents itself with keeping
silent about the things it cannot con-
scientiously praise. In the nature OF
things, a really Independent paper
cannot inspire universal affection. 1t
Is on the fence, and it is going to get
the bricks from both sides. In spite
of all the talk about an independent
press, in spite Of the great growth of
the independent vote. the only really
independent papers in this country
continue to be the ones that have held
to that rule for more than a genera
ton, such as The New York Evening
Post and The Springfield, Mass, Re
publican. The editorial page of The
New York World, which has been for
more than thirty years a remarkably
able and virile critic of public affairs,
has been. of intention, prevailingly
democratic. 1t has not been independ-
ent in the sense of detached regard,
or disregard, of all parties and all lead
ers alike.

May NOT BuiId Crookston Hospital.

A slight hitch in the plans for build
ing a tuberculosis sanatorium in
Crookston may result from finding that
the law does not permit another mill
assessment this year for construction
purposes. According to County Attor-
ney Hagen's Interpretation Of the law,
a second mill may be assessed for
maintenance and if allowed by the
state board of control, the money thus
raised may be diverted to the construc-
ton of the building. Otherwise the
$42, 900 now available can alone be used.
A beautiful site has been selected
for the sanatorium in the southwest
ern part of the city. The sanatorium
will be for patients from Polk and
Norman counties.
The two counties raised $4,000 by
assessment and the state gave a like
amount towards the site and building.
1t developed, however, that fully $751;
900 was needed to erect a suitable
sanatorium and arrangements for rails
ing the additional amour are still
pending.
The county commissioners decided
not to authorize a second assessment
for maintenance or for construction of
the sanatorium.

NO DAMAGE HAS
| BEEN DONE BY RUST

Because Of the many statements to
the effect that rust was found on the
grain in the valley e. Van Houten OF
cation and as a result Of the replies he
finds that no damage has been done.
Il have caused to be sent out over
the territory which I mention a large
number of inquiries states Mr.. Van
Houten. Enough Of the replies have
come in to enable me to make an au-
lucrative statement based OF such re-
ports; on these reports 1t Is certain
rust. There are but two exceptions to
the general statement of mo damage"
these are at Fertile and Crookston.
Furthermore, I am advised that over
the state of North Dakota and over
northern Minnesota, the grain has so
far advanced as to be practically out
of danger. Wheat is now in the dough
IN most localities, and in that stage of
development it is practically out of
danger"

though he put on his brakes and stop
ped his machine the automobile con-
tinued at a fast rate OF speed and went
a half a block beyond the corner be-
fore it could be stopped. The force of
the collision smashed the motorcycle

Socialist View of Big Crops.

Victor Berger's Milwaukee Leader:
Nine hundred million bushels of wheat
will be harvested this year. More corn
will be cut, husked and transformed
into bacon and beef and butter and
cheese than ever before in any nation
of the earth.
Unless some calamity Of Nature in
terVeneS more cotton will be gathered
and woven into clothes this fall than
this world has ever gathered and
woven before.
The earth will yield up enough to
feed, clothe and care for every human
being on this continent.
Yet millions will be hungry, poorly
clad and in desperate need Of the
things that even the dumb brutes have
in plenty.
This is the only problem that is
worth talking about. 1t is the problem
that touches every person whose work
makes the world worth living in.
But our politicians and press will not
ak about it. You will not hear 1t
mentioned in the platforms of the dem
ocratic, republican or progressive par
ties this fall. Their speakers will
not refer to it.
The only persons who will talk about
1t Will be the socialists. The opponents
of socialism will not deny that the pro-
gram of the socialists would make this
p~rodigality of Nature a cure for the
poverty Of man. But they will try to
keep that fact from becoming known.
The republican press will claim that
democrats have failed to bring pros
perity" to the people, and by the "peo-
pie" they will mean the profit eaters.
The democrats will hide their heads in
the sand and declare that they see no
poverty.
The progressives will sing Onward,
Christian Soldiers as they march to-
ward the River of Doubt, behind their
glorious leader to fight at Arranged
don, and some voters will be so pleased
with the Jingle of this jargOn that they
will think they are really on the road
to somewhere just because they are on
the road.
Not one Of the representatives of
these parties will dare discuss the
question of why bumper crops and
poverty exist at the same time. Not
one will dare explain why bursting
elevators and empty cupboards must
be found in the same nation.
They will artfuIly dodge the question
men in the midst Of a society suffer,
ing for the product of the labor o.
those men in those mills.
Only the socialists will discuss these
things.
Yet what is there besides these tina
is worth talking about this fall?

looked at the floor. Gerard whispered
to the clerk and the latter smiled and
remarked:
Never mind the usual form of
oath"
Then he called Alderman John S.
Gaynor to marry the pair. The cere-
| mony was gon through with quickly
and Gaynor said:

Again Gerard whispered and the
alderman smiled, but looked concerned
as he said:

Gerard signed quickly and drew
back. Then his bride shook off a
slipper, seized the pen between her
toes, clad in glove-1ike stockings, and
affixed her signature.

Grand.

At the Grand for Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday. Daniel Frohman pre-
Isents the popular p~hotoplay star, Car
lyle Blackwell, in the famous nautical
comedy drama, The Spitire, a melo-
dramatic farce Of laughs and thrills.
This play has had more than 1000 per-
formances on the stage. The four
reel version of Edward Peple's cele-
brated comedy drama, The Spitire,
presents Carlyle Blackwell in the role
of Bruce Morson, the young American
traveller who suddenly becomes in
volved in the plot of the story, and
who, before its termination. we'll earns
the title of hero. The play entertain
ed thousands for many years. It
humorous situations, together with it's
absorbing dramatic element, make the
subject certain to please both lovers
of light drama and those who prefer
the big heart throb of tense, overpow-
ering incident and episode. In the
film production, the laughs and thrills
are carefully balanced, so that at times
1t Is difficult to determine whether the
subject is comedy OF serious drama;
until at the very last flash the culmi-
nation Of the fascinating plot brings
the conviction that it is only real life
after all. Carlyle Blackwell is an ideal
type for the role of Morson, about

the following story: Bruce Morson, a
young American, returning from trav-
els in Egypt, is robbed of some valu-
able jewels in a London hotel. and
chases the thieves to the yacht Spit

boarded and taken command Of under
forged orders from it's owner, Marcus
Girard, who is in London. The yacht is
just about to sail out of port, but by
a ruse, Morson manages to get aboard
and promptly falls in love with Valda,
Girard's pretty daughter, who is also
a "spitfire." The crooks tell Valda
her father is a smuggler, show her the
jewels they have stolen, and con-
vince her they are guarding them for
her father, and that Morson is a Gus

to trap Girard. Valda Indignantly turns
upon the helpless Morson, orders him

Local Quotations,
Evening Grain Letter.

Minneapolis, July 27.-Wheat-The
market opened 2 cents higher on the
unsatisfactory answer given by Servla
to Austria. The strict censorship IS
being maintained in Europe and no
news is reaching the trade of an off =
cial character, but on the bulge there
was heavy profit taking both for
domestic M foreign account and a re-
cession in price from Saturdays close
was the result. We have further con
tirmations today from reliable sources
that black rust is spreading rapidly
over North Dakota. 1t will lower the
quality Of the early wheat and there
Is great danger to all Of the late
wheat. 1t has attacked the late wheat
on the stem near the head almost from
the beginning and it cannot fail to
infict great loss on his late wheat.
Domestic news was completely lost in
the tangle of foreign affairs, and un-
til some definite news has been receiv-
ed from that source by the trade,
opinions are of no value.
Concentrations are not so rosy
as they have been. The entire north
west needs rain and sections in the
southwest that have been suffering fol-
a long time have now reached the
breaking point and relief must come
soon.
Oats-Are feeling the effect Of new
arrivals. We do not look for much re-
cession in price and are friendly to
the long side on the breaks.
