In this simple device-thc power to

Chamber organization have it in their
power to ruin any member who shows
the slightest tendency toward insub-

clique in control can further their own

the fact that the Chambers private

orally urges him not to Try issues

LOSS OF EYES.

May 12-The loss of both eyes by
the explosion of IL guage shot gun
shell he had fired by matches was
the fate of young Siegfried Larson.
eight years old, son of Ole Larson, a
farmer at Comstock, Mimi, yesterday
afternoon at . o'clock.
The boy was brought to Moorhead,
to the offices of Drs. Humphrey &
Gosiee at 8 o'clock last evening, for
preliminary treatment, and later TAX
en- to the Northwestern hospital,
where he was resting easy at late
hour.
In relating the story of the acct
dent Mr.. Larson, the boys father,
stated that Siegfried was playing with
one of his brothers and that the eff
forts to set the cartridge atire at first
had not met with success and while
examining the growing flame on the
tip of the cartridge it had exploded
directly in the child's face. The
entire upper portion of the face was
burned and swollen from the force of
the discharge.

MENACE OF COCAINE.

There is considerable food fol
thought in the federal figures just re
ceived relative to the use of cocaine
The consumption in America has been
on the increase to an alarming degree
according to figures compiled by A. H
Baldwin, of the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce.
Last year Americans used 10000
pounds of cocaine and 100000 pounds
was used for purely medical purposes
but is not the bill of the nation fol
these deadening drugs little toe
large?

TOLLS ISSUE.

The New York Sun sums up our sen.
timents on the tells question so we'll
that we reproduce them here:
/. The question is simply whether
the Discrimination at the canal gate
by which a vessel sailing from East
port in Maine to Port Townsend in
Washington passes the toll gatherer
at Panama deadhead, while another
vessel sailing under the British flag
from St. John to New Brunswick to
Victoria in British Columbia is stopped
and made to pay the dollars demanded
for the privilege of not having to cir
cumnavigate South America by way
of the Strait of Observation-Disclosures
this constitutes inequality of treat
ment. If 60, it surely violates our
contract made with Great Britain wnen
that power released us from the in
convenient obligations of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty as to joint control of
any canal between the oceans.
2. If taxing the British vessel for
the maintenance Of the canal where
the American vessel passes free does
in fact constitute unequal treatment
then the refusal of the senate to re-
peal the coastwise exemption of the
canal act of August "a, 1912, is naked
|eepudiatioa Of the treaty contract
which the senate itself made with the
British government. Such repudia-
ton after securing the benefit of the
bargain is infamous conduct either
in nation or in an individual.
8. The talk about surrender" Is
the crudest bosh, unworthy of any
senator or newspaper of intelligence.
The Milky Way is not more remote
from the question than is the asser-
ton of the right of the American gov
eminent to manage it's own property,
and, if it pleases, to substitute it's own
shipping. If the rate charged was bas-
ed upon all canal traffic, including our
own ccastwise trade, there would be
nothing either in the letter or in the
spirit of the Hay-Paucefote contract
| to prevent this government from pay
| isg back to its cOastwise trade, or
even to its foreign ccean-going trade,
every dollar collected as tolls at the
canal. There would be no discrimila.
ton or unequal treatment In that pro.
ceeding, for Great Britain, or any 9TH
er nation would possess and might ex.
ercise the same right to reimburse
her ship owners TO rcanal tolls paid
at Panama. But the fact remains that
if the rate charged ITO British sub
jects in order to provide proper
amortization is higher on account OF
revenue for maintenance, interest and
the exemption of the American coast
wise trade than it would have been
without such exemption, there is dis
elimination, there is unequal treat
ment and there is broken faith with
Great Britain.

With the Editors
FREE THE INDIANS.

In his scathing denunciation of the
treatment accorded the Indians b,
the whites, Rev. A. MEG. Beede
speaks what he knows. Perhaps nc
other living white man today has
such an intimate acquaintance with
the Indian and such a perfect knowl
edge of their affairs.
This big-hearted, brainy and highly
educated Episcopalian priest has
spent his life living, not only among
the Indians, but literally and actually
with them. He has gone into thei,
homes, spent days, weeks, months
end years living as they live, eating
the food they eat, or going without
the food that they are supposed tc
have, but do not get, sleeping in thei,
huts and talking with them in their
own tongue, and as intimately as IL
he himself were an Indian.
The Indian does not talk freely tc
white people, under ordinary circum
stances, The red man is by virtue
ceticent. Therefore the white man
fwho visits an Indian reservation fOl
short time does not get the real
viewpoint of the Indian
But the white priest occupies a pc
culiar place in the thought of the
Indian. The native Americans arc
highly spiritual. Those who heard
Dr.. Eastman here last winter arc con
vilced Of that fact. The Indian re-
spects and reveres the priest and
gives him his complete confidence
AS priest, therefore. and as one OF
them, the Indians have opened their
minds to Dr.. Beede, and the doctor
has found them to be intelligent and
capable-but slaves.
The government system of deal.
ing with the Indians has made OF
them dependent people and it has
built up despotie Bureaucracy. These
are the charges of DR.. E'eede.
The Indians have looked to the gov
eminent for SO long, to handle their
affairs, that they have lost their mi
tiative and their manhood. Instead
of making progress they have been
degenerated. There is powerful ar
gument here against socialism and
paternalism in government. The man
who has no responsibility soon loses
the power to undertake responsible
task. +.
DR.. Bcede would free the Indians.
What if they do lose their land?
They will gain manhood. They will
soon learn to handle their own af-
fairs efficiently and intelligently, and
they will win back far more than
they lose. There is sound reasoning
in DR.. Bcede's argument.-Fargo Fo-
rum.

Editor Bismarck Tribune,
Bismarck, n. D.
Dear Sir:
l want to go on record as express
ing to you my kind feelings to the
Bismarck Tribune for the support it
has given the farmers cooperative
movement. Surely it is time that the
papers of this state interested them.
selves IN behalf of the grain growers.
There is no reason why We should sit
idly by and allow politicians down in
Minnesota to exercise control over
the inspection and weighing of our
grain and, in addition to all this, al.
low a private market such as the
Chamber of Commerce to regulate at
will, the price of cash grain, as was
admitted by a witness who recently
appeared before the rules committee
at Washington. ! trust you will keep
up the good work. The Minneapolis
papers are not likely TO increase their
circulation in this locality by their
continued support Of the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce.

IN CONTRAST TO YOUNG.

How true ring the words of Sen
ator McCumber on the Panama tolls
in contrast to the vote of Congress
man Young on this issue. We quote
While we hide behind the Flag
we burglarize the American treas
ury for the benefit of the coast
wise shipping interest, which has
no competitor in the world, and
which is today diverting the public
mind from the real question by
playing upon our national pride

FOR A CITY BEAUTIFUL.

The Fairview Cemetery association
is to be commended for its action in
securing a landscape gardener to beau
tify the burial grounds in the north
eastern section of the city.
This is day of city planning when
every effort is made to improve the
osthetic side of municipalities. Too
often the settles of the dead are bar
rem, cherries places. Where we bury
our dead, there should beauty reign
supreme.
We can learn much from the II.
dams, who always selected a pictures
que place as burial ground. The
location Of their mounds throughout
the west are tributes to their love Of
the beautiful in nature.
1t is to the city's credit that few
enterprising citizens and good wome1
are behind the move to improve the
appearance of the local cemetery.
The McAdoo.Wilson nuptials prove
that you can have suiet wedding
even in the White House.

Another Lesson.
Montana has also another lesson
to teach north Dakota. In the latter
state, fire drills are almost wholly
voluntary and optional; in the former,
all school authorities and teachers
are required to instruct the pupils OF
all schools in fire drilling, how to
guard against fires, and how to act
with GOODNESS and Judgment in case
OF conflagration.
Summing up, the impartial Judge
has to admit that North Dakota has
rapidly to wake up if she is to keep
pace with the educational methods,
laws and practice of her progressive
neighbor.
