District Attorney Swami asked Judge
Wsdhams in General Sessions yester-
day TO arrange for the trial Of about
l60 indictments that have been knock
ing around in the indictment bureau Of
the District Attorneys Office for ten or
twelve years. There are 300 of these
indictments on file, and in some cases
the defendants have been in their
graves several years.
Mr.. Swami purposes 70 clean his
slate, and all indictment. that should
be quashed will be thrown out. Scores
were returned against persons who re-
fused TO give valuable evidence TO the
county and afterward changed their
minds. There are only ass indictments
pending this week, against $40 year
ago. Some OF this credit belongs TO
former District Attorney Perkins, who
cleaned up the slate in a record break

The question Of guilt has not been raised.
Yet, according to news dispatches, even
Governor Hanna has signed the petition for
pardon. 1t may be the desire to assist a brother
banker in distress. Or it may be the out-crop-
ping of the governors characteristic of doing
something popular. Be that as it may. The
principle of rushing to the aid of a convicted
criminal just because he happens to belong to
the upper strata of society, is not promoting
respect for law and order. And the governor,
on account of his high official position, is more
to be censure than the many private individuals
haps because they believed they were doing a
humanitarian act.
We are told that the price of wheat is regu-
lated by the law of supply and demand. There
fore when President Wilson sent out his peace
note to the 5elligerent nations a short time ago,
the public was seized with an awful hunger, re
ducing the supply to such an extend that wheat
dropped about seventeen cents in two days,
When the warning people of Europe seemed in
clined to scott at the presidents proposal, the
public again became dyspeptic-and the price OF
wheat jumped backed to it's former price practi.
cally within twenty-four hours. What asinine
bunk! The supply and demand theory is all right
as a theory. AS applied to the market price OF
wheat there is no such animal. The grain
gamblers who deal in mythical millions Of
bushels and control the money markets with
which to purchase the actual supply create the
"demand'' at willard the cravings of the hu.
man stomach are not taken into consideration

"COMPULS0RY:ROTATlON."

Compulsory crop rotation is the saucy
proposition which Senator Henry Mclean of
Cavalier county threatens to introduce as a bill
in the 1917 legislature. Henry would make it
unlawful to raise wheat on the same ground
more than two years in succession. Every six
years, according to the senator's bill. which he
says is already prepared, the farmer would be
compelled by law to plant some crop requiring
constant ~tilling-such as corn.
Peanuts or pineapples might be permitted.
provided the farmer would till it constantly
The main point is to make him ~work-work so
COMPOUNDED hard that he will have no time to
organize Nonpartisan Leagues and indulge in
similar tomfoolery.
While the senator from Cavalier has not
fully divulged the ramitications of his bill, it
will probably prescribe the death penalty for
rubes who attempt to farm without a system of
double-entry bookkeeping, a six-cylinder man
ure spreader or a Hawaiian orchestra for the
hired mans delectation.
There will likely be a severe penalty for the
man who offends by raising rusted grain
"against the peace and dignity Of the state'' or
follows parsnips with carrots.
+ Quite naturally you will suspect that a bill
of this nature emanates from the palsied brain
of a %fanatical Nonpartisan. But, strangely
enough, such is not the case.
Henry Mclean is a Hangover senator of
the standpot school of craftsmanship. He has
been in the senate a long time-entirely too
long.
In the days of Jud LaMoure, Mclean had an
easy time of it in the upper house. On roll call
he always followed the Pembina chief. And he
followed him with the same fidelity in his vote.
There meyer was any question about where Nc
Lean stood on any proposition. 1t was only
necessary to know where Jud stood.
Now that the big boss can no longer guide
the Legislative antics of Mclean, he is thrown
largely on his own resources. And the compul-
sorry rotation bill is the product.
Cavalier county should adopt a 'compul-
sorry rotation of it's state senators.

When it was proposed to place an embal

When it was proposed to place an embargo
on wheat, because the farmer was holding up
the ultimate consumer, Congressman Helgesen
started a little investigation of his own in the
national capitol. He fould that the bak ers in
Washington bought the flour for So. so a barrel
and sold it again in the form of bread for $28. 20.
The margin of profit on wheat from the farm
until it is manufactured into flour is still great
err. But someone must be the high-cost-o of liv-
ing goat, and the farmer, who gets the small
end of the product which he produces, is a very
amenable subject.
