The Value Of Loyalty.

The longer live, the more value loyalty.
When young had the silly notion that loyalty
meant being obedent to someone else
In those laundering days of youth thought that
the greatest thing independence.
Today, after many hard lessons know that loyalty
sympathetic intelligent loyalty is of the most val
liable virtues that a have.
Unless you loyal to others, one will be loyal
to you.
If you employer, you must be loyal to your
workers.
If you worker you must be loyal to your en-

No success-no lasting success, come to any Arm

Hesiod, who says that the road to

THE IlprTER OF THE Law.

In spite Of the fact that the law
provides very infinitely for the man
ner in which elections shall be con-
Quoted, practically every parliament
airy body IL made the judge Of the
qualifications Of its own members. It
is the body itself, and not the courts,
which must pass on the eligibility Of
an individual who claims a seat.
The obvious reaso for this arrange
ment is to provide the means where
by the seating of a claimant may not
depend on technicalities which do not
affect the real merits of the case.
In the Sargent county case two
years ago the league managers relied
solely, on d technicality. The election
officials. acting under orders from the
board of health. had locked the doors
and kept the crowd out while the bal
lots were being counted. The law says
thai the counting shall be done in
public. That was the whole case. It
was not contended that a single vote
had been Illegally cast, or that an in
correct return had been made. It was
not charged that any of the officials,
or any other person, had used i'm
proper means to influence votes. It
was not commended that the return
made. from the village did not repre-
sent actually the actual intent of the
voters. Nevertheless, the door had
been shut, contrary to law, therefore
the vote of the village of Forman was
thrown out. That was an outrage, al
though quite according to the letter
of the law It was the business of the
house to ignore the technical features
of the case and seat the candidate
who had been fairly elected. That
is the purpose for which discretion
airy powers are given.
In the Stark county case, if it were
possible to divest it of Its partisan fea-
lures. t~echnicalities would not be per-
United to- govern. The fact that all
the regulations were not followed in
precise form here or there is of no
conseqence. II votes were cast under
improper direction, no matter by
whom given, those votes should be
thrown out, no., matter for whom they
were cast. The question would be
perfectly simple if the essential facts
could be ascertained. The thing.
should be decided on the basis Of rea
son and right, and not on technicali-
ties. Still less should it be decided
on a partisan basis; but there is every
prospect that it will be decided on just
that basis.

WHY NOT FLAX?

What objection is there on the part
of the trainers Of the emergency tar
if bill to a duty on flax? Most of the
agitation has centered around the pro-
posed duty on wheat. But we produce
much more wheat than we use. We
are, and will continue to be for some
time, a wheat exporting nation. With
or without duty the price of wheat. in
this country will not be materially
higher than its value for export, on the
basis of current prices abroad. We
import some wheat at special times
and under special conditions, but
whatever we import increases our BUR
plus, and we must send just that much
more abroad. If that particular wheat
were not brought into this country it
would find it's market abroad among
the same people who buy our " sur
plus. With or without duty, we are
in competition with all the wheat
growers of the world, and we will be
in competition with them SO long as
we produce wheat for export. A duty

temporary and local effect.
AS to the amount of duty on wheat,
so cents will be p~rohibitive. So will
30 cents. And after the prohibitive
stage is reached it does not matter
how much the duty is increased.
The situation with reference to flax
is entirely different. We produce in
this country about hall as much flax
as we use. We buy the rest abroad.
The price of flax has decreased much
more than the price of wheat: A duty
on flax, up to the point of prohibition,
would increase the price Of flax to,
the American grower by just the
amount of the duty. Why has there
been no discussion of a flax duty?
Flax is n of the very important
crops of North Dakota. This state
has for several years produced ap-
proximately half the flax raised in the
United States. Sometimes we have,
produced IS much as 60 per cent Of
the total. A flax.duty would be a real
protection to the North Dakota farm
er, while q wheat duty is Of slight, and
even Of questionable value.
