The Senators Of the United States dealing as
they do with the most earnest convictions of the
American nation, with the most valuable asset OF
that nation, the right to home government without
foreign interference, carry upon their shoulders
heavy load of responsibility and duty.
The recent elections in New Jersey and Massa-
chusetts have shown the temper of the people, and
that temper is shown in thousands of protests from
all over the United States.
This newspaper reminds Democratic Senators
and others whose mind is on patronage that three
years is not very long time; those years will soon
pass.
Let the Senators think of what will happen
three years from now as they act wisely or fooshly.
The success of the Democratic party at the next
election, and more than that the very life of the
party is at stake in this decision in the hands
of the Senate in regard to the free tolls law.
1t is true that the Democratic party and all
other political parties that the nation has ever
known are less important than the fundamental
principle involved-the question as to whether or
not this nation has a right to attend to it's af
fairs, to regulate it's own waterways, to make laws
based upon the Monroe Doctrine, and, although less
important to give to the people of the United States
just return for the spending of hundreds of mil
lions of dollars by the people.
Far more important than TIE State of any
Democratic Senator, or Presidential candidate, or
the Democratic party itself is the fundamental
question of North American government by
North American nation.
But Senators, thinking of patronage and their
own welfare, and bending to the will that dis
tributes patronage, may heed most readily an ap-
peal based upon their own and their party in
terests
We ask them to bear these facts in mind, re
membering that the existence of their party and
their own political life depends upon their decision
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY CAN WIN AS
IN MASSACHUSETTS, IF 1T STANDS FOR
TRUE DEMOCRACY AND is LOYAL TO THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
BUT 1T MUST LOSE WHEN IT REPU
DATES THE PARTY PLATFORM AND Be
TRAYS THE CONFIDENCE OF THE PEOPLE.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY NOW HAS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO FOLLOW WILSON TO DE-
FEAT OR TO FOLLOW THE PLATFORM TO
VICTORY, AND AFTER THE LESSON OF
THESE ELECTIONS, IF THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY is DESTROYED TT WILL NOT BE
MR.. WILSON WHO DESTROYED IT, BUT THE

ator
No Senator demanded the repeal of that just,
free tolls law until Mr.. Wilson heard from his pub
Usher Ambassador Page, that England did not APP
prove of our course
Bear in mind that it is not the English Govern
ment that protests It makes no difference to Eng
land whether or not our coastwise shipping, with
which England does not compete, pays tolls or goes
through free.
The British are pleased, of course to see weak
ness in our administration They are delighted to
believe that we are relinquishing our Monroe Doc
trine, and in the words of Mr.. Wilson's publisher,
the Ambassador, that 1--WE would like to enforce the
Monroe Doctrine if nobody objects"
The real opposition to free tolls in England
comes from those anxious to encourage vacillation
in the administration of this country, anxious to
gain foothod, right to dictate
Remember that those in England who now de
mand free tolls have the impertinence to demand
also that the United States should leave that canal
unfortifed.
The opposition to the free tolls which Mr.. Page
represents is not that of the British Government
at ALL but that of aristocrats with whom he has
dined, to whose platitudes he has listened, and who
are large owners of Canadian Pacific Railroad stock
the stock that fears free tolls and cheap freights
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The people of this country demand free tolls
and the building up of their coastwise shipping.
They demand lower freights, some real advan-
tage for this country for the spending of millions
of dollars on the canal
THE PEOPLE DEMAND ABOVE ALL
FIRM DECISION AND DETERMINATION BY
THE UNITED STATES TO RULE NOT ONLY
ALONG OUR OWN SHORES AND THE BOUN-
DIARIES OF THE PANAMA CANAL, BUT ON
THIS ENTIRE AMERICAN CONTINENT AND
TO REFUSE ALL DICTATION.
We tell the Senators who have this matter in
their hands that they will either uphold the Mon
roe Doctrine, adhere to the pledges of the Demo
cratic platform and legslate in accordance with the
will of the people, or legislate to please American
railroads. English holders of Canadian Pacific Rail
road stocks and few American snobs who delight
to honor the King.
The Senators will do their duty, keep their
pledges and refuse to submit to dictation upon this
canal matter; or they will cut their own threats
politically and the throat of the Democratic party
and they and their party will deserve that fate if
they betray the people and their own political word
of honor.

PATRONAGE SEEKING SENATORS WHO RE-
FUSE TO HEED THE WARNING OF THE CIT
IZENs, AND PREFER TO SACRIFICE THE
PARTY AND THE COUNTRY TO THEIR
GREED FOR PATRONAGE.
THE MERE ABANDONMENT OF WILSON
AT THE NEXT ELECTION WILL NOT SAVE
THE PARTY, FOR 1T WILL NOT BE WILSON
ALONE WHO WILL HAVE BETRAYED HIS
TRUST, BUT THE WHOLE DEMOCRATIC OR
GANIZATION WHICH HAS BEEN FAITH
LESS THE OUTRAGED VOTERS OF THIS
COUNTRY WILL DEFEAT, AND NOT ONLY
DEFEAT BUT DESTROY, THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY, AND EVERY PATRIOTIC CITIZEN
NO MATTER WHAT HIS FORMER PARTY AT
FILIATIONS, WILL REJOICE TO SEE so
TRAITOROUS A PARTY FINALLY ELIMI
MATED FROM THE POLITICS OF THE MA
TON
1t is not necessary to remind the Senators and
the country of the very simple nature of the ques
tion before them.
If they abide by the pledge of their party, they
will uphold and refuse to repeal the free tolls law for
coastwise shipping to which their party platform
pledged them, and upon which this Democratic ad
ministration was elected.
If they are faithful to the traditions of the
not permit selfish foreign interests to dictate to the
people what we shall do with our own property and
what we shall do with our own shipping and our
own waterways.
THE PANAMA CANAL rs A PART OF THE
COAST LINE OF THE UNITED STATES.
We have the same rights in that waterway as
we have in New York Harbor and in the Mississippi
River, or in the Bay of San Francisco.
This country unselfshly has opened great
commercial pathway between the oceans, saving
millions annually to foreign commercial fleets and
practically nothing to the United States which, to
its disgrace, is without shipping.
We are told that the United States has no right
to subsdize its own ships through free tolls and
give American ships an advantage
But there is no advantage to American ships,
for no foreign vessel can compete in our coastwise
trade, or engage in it.
1t will not cost an English ship any heavier toll
if our coastwise ships go through free.
1t will not cost an English ship any less if our
own ship is taxed.
AS matter of fact, the treacherous plan to re-
peal the free tolls would make the American coast
wise ship practically the only ship using that canal
without a subsidy"

FLAX STRAW Makes PAPER
BEST WRITING material

A recent issue Of the Grand Forks
Evening Times has the following article
to paper making from North
Dakota growing flax straw:
Samples of the first ton of paper ever
made from North Dakota flax fibre were
received in Grand Forks today.
The fibre from which the paper was
manufactured was made from the raw
fax straw at the Northwestern Flax
Fibre Co. in this city and was made up
into paper at Appelton, Wis.
The paper is made up into sheets of
letter size. 1t is of good quality, suit
able for Correspondence. bonds. etc..
being similar to that usually made up
from linen. -,
3 III. G. Green, manager of the local
place, said today that he was expecting
large consignment of fibre making
machinery from Germany in the near
future. ~, 80
When this arrives it will be possible
for the local plant to produce fibre which
will MAKE up into paper comparable to
that made from the best linen.
There are some slight imperfections
in the first lot which Mr.. Green thinks
can be readily obviated when the new
machinery arrives. .....s-s -, ii.
The use Of fax fibre is of great Inn.
portance! to the paper making industry
90 it shortens the process to a consid.
cradle extent. The present experiment
has ahown thar paper sof the finest, quail
ity can be made from such material.
This opens up 4 new, field Of inductr,
for North Dakota and makes possible th.
publication Of large quantities of ia,
straw which foEp Srlys went to waste
lIn the opinion Of many Of the business
men Of the city the Importance Of the
NEW industry can mot s be overestimated

the village would likely have Done up
in smoke when the Krier g. Wesesser

the cause Of which Isl not

discovered. ei's 81, 81; s.s gs;.S} b :E
The Gladstone Fire Department re-
sponded quickly with the two chemical
engines and the bucket brigade and
by hard work the flames were condned
to the. one building. The residents,
detached 10 feet at the rear. was not
injured in the least. sss5f
h The Dickinson Fire Department was
summoned and came down with the
N. P. water tank and the flames were
quickly extinguished. \ !:
This store had the long distance
station, hence telephone commune atiori
was quickly cut of, Howevef, tlle
telegraph station at the depot gave the
outside world news of the fire.
The Krier & Wegesser store building,
located just west Of the Hollst residense,
was valued at 81. 600 and insured for
81, 500; stock at SIS. 600 and insured at
S3. 500. John Melzeer, barber in the
store, sustained a loss of. $50.

in Gladstone was burned when vii Aiam
