Effect Of Morse Drought.
The Sun and New York Her
ald' says: THE Scandinavian
American liner Oscar II sailed
for Copenhagen with 970 passen-
gers. nearly 700 more than went
away the same day for Norway
by the Norwegian-American
steamer, Stavangerfjord. An
explanation of the difference in
the patronage between the two
ships is that there is prohibition
in Norway, and Denmark is as
wet as ever. Outside the three
mile limit the Oscar II opened
her bar.
Tragedy mt R"i>e.
Arthur Lindberg, recently ar
rived at Boise. Idaho. from Swe-
den. was to have married Miss
Karla Swendson last week. but
two hours before the time set
for ceremony he committed sui
eide by shooting. No motive
has been discovered, but as the
young man was known to be
somewhat erratic, it is thought
he acted in sudden fit of insan-
itv.
Butter and Sugar.
A number of rumors have
been in circulation concerning a
tremendous export of butter and
sugar from Denmark to the
United States. Some butter has
arrived, and cablegram quotes
the Copenhagen Nationaltidende
as saying that negotiations for
shipping 20 million pounds of
sugar to this country are under
way. While it is not denied that
such a trade is in progress, it is
said that the quantities men.
toned, in both instances, are far
exaggerated for purposes Of
speculation.

 "I cannot see where numbers can change the cours> or the rule of law" Judge Pattee said
 But does counsel also contend that the rule is the same for the larger number as for the individual. that 't is the same regardless of how many there are, either of assailed or assail- ants?"
 w. H. Rurges, chief counsel for de fense. asserted that this was his contention. The court then said 1T had examined the statement nf the counsel for defense with consider able care and also had considered the supplemental and additional state ments made since the avowal first was made. but had not discover ed anything that would assume 10 come within the ordinary rule of self de. ! fense He also said he had not forrd any proof of an overt act on the bart of Fred Brown. the complaining wit ness in the Wootton trial. and asked counsel for the defense if he expected to offer such proof When told that the defense was under the impres- sion that this point had been covered in the avowal. Judge Pattee asserted that he was unable to agree with the attorneys. Upon his suggestion. w. Fl. Burges agreed 10 supplement his avowal with statements that the de fense would offer proof that Brown was one of the parties engaged in the conspiracy named in the original avowal
 There must be some overt act. the character of which may vary with the circumstances. before self defense is justified Judge Pattee sai i'd Threats never justify an act of self defense"
 Counsel for the defense differed with the courts interpretation of the self defense statute and stated that in their supplementary avOwal they would agree to prove conclusively that not only some of the deportees were connected with the alleged con- spiracy to stop the production of cop per during the war, but that every man who was sent away to Columbus N. M, was an accomplice to this con spiracy.
 Tt is utterly impossible to do jus tice to the question that is involved here in short time." Judge Pattee said. following the conference.
 What I have felt more than any thing else is the inconvenience caused the jurors and the witnesses by their being retained here, but that seems to be one of the things that cannot be helped in order to gain time to give the matter justice.

 There is no plan for Interrogation of congressional candidates, but copies of the Questionnaire will be placed in the hands of all members of the organ ization. Frequent reports will be made on answers from the candidates. "We have started something that We win stay with to the finish" Mir. Bar. rett said.
 "This Inquiry is a statement of prin- ciules. not a perfunctory inquiry as to where candidates stand on certain questions
 Tt is not an exclusive platform: it is large enough to handle all honest citi- zens and all who endorse its principles are invited to aid in enacting them as law. This can be done if we have the rieht kind of president and are report ed in congress by the proper sort of patriotic citizens.
 "The questionnaire is in the form of letter asking the recipient to send definite and clear replies" to 12 spe- cific inquiries as to his views.
 Prosperity on the farm is the first nf preamble asserts.
 Decline of agriculture is now and always has been the central danger to civilization. Agriculture is declining in America. If the general welfare of the people is to be safeguarded. the decrease in farm production compared with the population and impairment of the fertility of our soil must be stop ped.
 Tn view of the power exercised by the president upon b5th the legislative and administrative branches of our government, we. believe that not only the 40 million people who live and work on our farms, but all Americans desire and have the right to know in advance what they may count upon a candidate to do after eies..on.''
 The questions follow:
 win you do yuur best to bring about such direct dealing between producer and consumer as will secure to farmers a fair share of the wealth they create, reduce the cost of living to the consumer and limit or destroy the opportunity of the profiteer? {
 Will you do what in you lies to se- cure to all farmers and consumes the full, free and unQuestioned right to or ganize and to purchase and sell CO., operatively?"
 "Will you see that the farm people of America are represented on general boards and commissions in whose membership various interests are rec ognized, whether or not the work is directly concerned with agriculture?
 'Wll you appoint secretary of agri culture who knows actual farm condi- tions, who is satisfactory to the far mers, and who will cause to be made coml rehensive studies of farm produc- ton and costs at home and abroad, and publish the uncensored facts?
 "Wiii you take the action necessary to ascertain and make public all ob- tainablc facts concerning the great aud growing evil of farm tenancy, so thpt steps may be taken to check, re- duce or end it?

FIsHIN' TRIP

Some say it was fishin' trip and
others maintain that it was merely
a nightmare. You all know who
went: Bill Hopkins, Bert, Bill and Roy
Conlee, C. Conway, Fl. G. Jones, Art
Hoff, Andrew Littlefeld, and with
this in mind the presumption would
be much in favor of the nightmare.
In the festivities a big squirt gun
played a prominent part and some of
the fellows were soused while in bed.
Charlie Conway, it is said, awoke
while the squirt gun was in action
and amid the general melee thought
the house was on fire. Everybody
made a rush for the doors, only to
find them barred from the outside,
meanwhile the stream from the squirt
gun was directed with accuracy upon
the dancing and yelling prisoners.
1t was terrible The fish weren't
biting, but it was a splendid fishin'
trip, jess same, and the boys brought
home and distributed a fine lot of
fish among their friends.
