NONPARTISAN POLITICAL
DOPE.

Tho Courier-News, the official or
gan Of the Nonpartisan party in the
state, came out with an article the
other day charging Mr.. Nestos, the
Independent candidate for governor,
with resigning as states attorney Of
Ward county rather than prosecute
the tough element of Minot and the
county. It says that Governor Fra
zier called Mr.. Nestos' attention to
the way the law was being violated
and the latter sent in his resirna-
tion to the governor. "Can there be
any other Interpretation Of his action
than that he has refused to enforce
the law" the article says.
When Mr.. Nestos was states at
torney Of Ward county, Governor
Frazier had not been nominated for
governor and did not become govl
ernor until several months after
that. Mr.. Nestos resigned Is states
attorney to enter tho race for Uni
ted States senator April 5th, 1916.

A Big Event for Pembina.

Jas. A. Wilkins and Ray C. Stin-
son, w. NJ, and secretary respectiv-
lely of Pembina Lodge of Masons,
were at Grand Forks last Friday at
meeting of the Grand Lodge Off
GERS called to arrange the program
for the dedication of the Masonic
monument here on June 21st, on the
site OF the first Masonic lodge in this
state. 1t is expected that fifteen
hundred Masons will be here to at
tend the ceremonies. All the ar
rangements will be in charge of the
Grand Lodge of North Dakota.
A special train will leave Grand
Forks over the Northern Pacific at
l2:15 P. NJ. On arrival of the spe-
cial procession will form at the de-
pot, headed by band that will ac-
company the excursion train, and in
which the ex-service men will take a
prominent part.
The affair will be an international
lone. Special representatives of the
Grand Lodge of North Dakota will
visit the Grand Lodge of Manitoba
to extend an invitation for them to
take part in the exercises, and the
Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes
will float side by side from the
monument as we'll as from the pro-
minent buildings in town, that day.
Mr.. Stinson, who was master of
the lodge at the time the subject of
erecting this monument was first
thought of, is entitled to special
credit for getting the monument er-
ected here, tells us the granite COL
umn is about five feet high with a
bronze slab about eighteen by twen-
ty-four inches, which bears the fol-
lowing inscription, with raised let
ters: -
"On this site once stood the build
ing in which the first regularly or
ganized Masonic Lodge, within the
present State Of North Dakota, or
iginally met"
This tablet and marker have been
placed here by the Grand Lodge A.
F. & A. NJ, of North Dakota, A. D.
1921, A. L. 1921, to designate for
ever this historic Masonic spot.
A dispensation was granted Sep
tember 18th, 1868, by Grand Master
a. I, G. Pierson Of Minnesota to
Brothers G. W. Nash, J. L. Arming-
ton, A. T. Chamblin, Charles H. Mix
and eight others, soldiers in Hatch's
Battalion, to organize a Masonic
Lodge at Pembina. It was later
named Northern Light"
The first meeting was held in Jan.
uary, 1864. and for several months
the lodge was active. "A number Of
candidates from Fort Garry (now
Winnipeg), were made Masons.
In October, 1864, the dispensation
was renewed and the lodge removed
to Fort Garry, where on Novembe,
9Th, 1864, the first meeting in its
new location was held in a room
over the trading house of Brother A.
G. B. Bannatyne. The dispensatior
was renewed from year to year until
1867 when charter was granted ts
Northern Light Lodge No. 6s, but
this charter was never delivered.
In 1869 this Lodge PRACTICAL,
ceased to be. The charter was re
voked January 18th, 1870. It wa,
in existence long enough to lay tn,
foundation Of Masonry, not only /,
North Dakota, but also in the Can
adian Northwest, more particular,
the Province Of Manitoba.

NAGlVu. 4HSSS u8UIeS were. OOG81neQ
from the Secretary Of Agriculture
and were prepared by the Bureau Of
Markets and declared to be all for.
consumption in the United States.
In January and February 100000
bushels of wheat came in making q
total importation up to the end Of
February from September /, 1920, Of
over 44,ooo,0o0 bushels Of wheat.
Quite little has come in since.
Still more important is the fact that
there are over 10000, 900 bushels of
wheat at Fort William and Port Ar
thur awaiting shipment just as soon
as navigation opens, also 13,000,00
bushels in storage west Of there in
Canada Mr.. Wylie Nelson Of VAL
ley City, North Dakota, has sent me
a large number Of newspaper clip
pings indicating these market move
ments, and prints in large letters at
the end these words, Rush relief be-
fore it is too late.'"
"Mr. j. E. Davis, of Goodrich, N.
D., wired me recently saying large
convention at Devils Lake had pass
ed resolutions urging the passage of
emergency tariff legislation with all
possible speed.'
"A telegram has just been handed
me from H. N. Owens, editor of the
Farm, Stock and Home, Minneapolis.
Mr.. Owens has made !, lifelong
study of marketing. He says:
In January, Minneapolis millers
bought Canadian wheat for future
delivery. They knew there was not
enough millable spring wheat here
to supply needs to new crop. 49,
100000 bushels of Canadian wheat
has come in for United States con-
sumption on this crop year. More
than twice our present visable sup
ply. Unless Canadian wheat is en-
bargoed drastic cut in wheat acre
age is certain"
Nov just one other thought in
respect to wheat. The statistics of
the Department of Agriculture show
that it costs one-third less to raise
wheat in Canada than it does in the
United States. That should be
borne in mind as justification for
this duty"
Owing doubtless to recent rulings
from the Bureau of Internal Revenue
the North Dakota congressman are
being flooded with requests for in
formation in regard to obtaining
beer upon prescription for medicinal
purposes. Some of the writers pro-
fess to be in dire need after the
drought of the past two years and
urge that the necessary data be for
warded to them. without delay. It
lis probable that the Treasury De-
partment will adopt definite policy
in this regard to be announced short
ly. In the meantime many dry ad-
vocates are petitioning an amend
ment to the Volstead act which
would prevent the sale of beer at all.

AZ STATBATTACK
/ RULING BY |. C. C.
Validity of Transportation Act
F.; Involved in Case Before
= Hiqhest Court.

The validity of the transportation
act, as construed by the Interstate
Commerce Commission to give it final
authority over state railroad rates.
was attacked today in the Supreme
Court by forty-two states.
The suit. the first of several similar
ones expected to reach the highest
court was filed by the state of Wis
consin, but the attorneys general and
and railroad and public utility COM
missions of forty-one other states
were permitted to become parties
to it.
Brief Placed on File.
The only action in the case today
was the filing of a brief by the states
representatives, but oral argument
will be heard some time this week If
the court moves through its calendar
with the normal speed.
The states brief declared that as
now administered the act by center
ing all power over rates in the In
terstate Commerce Commission took
away from the states rights spe-
officially reserved to them by the fed
eral Constitution. The provisions
for a fixed return on railways invest
ment was made the basis for spe-
cial attack as 'uneconomic and un-
constitutional"
Under such a law said the brief.
"if prices fall and business decreases
railroad rates must increase.
Point Emphasized.
Emphasis was directed to the re-
duirement that the commission
groups several roads together and
make rates that would yield an ag-
Kregate fixed return to all roads in
the group. This was alleged to place
n double burden" on shippers in that
it compelled them to support poor
ana worthless roads as well as those
which rendered legitimate service.

REMEDIES FOR PISTOL EVIL

TO the Editor OF The Star:

you to consider the possibility of
requiring the same proof of owner

weapons as are required by the state
of Maryland of automobile owners or
drivers. Besides this would it not be
eXpedient to seek the cooperation of

Limitation of future sales in this city

thousands of these weapons already
owned and used by many residents,
some of whom may not be qualified
to possess them. The "bootleggers"

Gratis and who still adhere to that
political faith. They sought nothing
other than the elevation of their fell
low townsman and friend. A handful
of them will be in Washington to see
their neighbor Warren" inaugurated
No special provision will be made for
them. but they are ready to fight their
way to the front on the east steps of
the Capitol SO they can see him sworn
in and hear him utter his first words
as the twenty ninth President of the
United States.
How Cabinet Was Chosen.
So far as his nomination campaign
is concerned Mr.. Harding owes no
obligations. The same may be said of
the actual campaign expenses. In
framing the cabinet, however, Mr..
Harding felt he was compelled to con-
slider certain political obligations.
There was no compulsion about his
appointment of Harry Daugherty
as Attorney General. however. He
wanted Mr.. Daugherty near him as
President, and he knew the best way
to have him near was to make him a
member of the official family. Mr..
Daugherty, it may be said, is Mr..
Hardings only personal appointee.
AS to Mr.. Hays and Mr.. Weeks and
a number of others, Mr.. Harding feels
that the honor he is comforting upon
them is the honor the party owes.
