FATHER WINS IN
SURANCE MONEY

Minot, N. D., March IA jury in
district court here Friday returned
verdict for the plaintiff in the case
of William ]. Carroll against the New
York Life Insurance company. The
verdict was for $4,000 less $74.5O, but
with interest at the rate of per cent
from July 10, 1918, to February %,
1922. The case covers the matter of
life insurance policy which was tax
en- out by w. G. Carroll, son of w. j.
Carroll, June %, 1916, the face value
being $4,000. Mr.. Carroll cntred the
U. 5. Army service and lost his life
while serving in France. Following
his death his father, beneficiary un-
der the policy, sought to collect the
amount.
The company declined to pay on
the ground that the last premium of
$74.50 had not been paid.

Of their inability to meet mortgages or
to pay current bills, and how, seeking
relief from their ills, they are plan.
ming to form pools. inaugurate farm
ers' strikes, and demand legislation
abolishing grain exchanges, private
cattle markets, and the like, we ought
not hastily to brand them as economic
heretics and highwaymen, and hurl at
them the charge of being seekers Of
special privilege. Rather, we should
ask If their trouble is not ours, and
see what can be done to improve the
situation. Purely from self-interest,
if for no higher motive, we should
help them. All of us want to get back
permanently to "normalcy;" but is it
reasonable to hope for that condition
unless our greatest and most basic in
dustry can be put on sound and solid
permanent foundation? The farmers
are not entitled to special privileges !;
but are they not right in demanding
that they be placed on an equal foot
ing with the buyers of their products
and with other industries?

eral good than in the case Of other
Industries. The spirit Of American
democracy is unalterably opposed,
alike to enacted special privilege and
to the special privilege Of unequal op.
portunity that arises automatically
from the failure to correct alarlna
economic Inequalities. 1 am opposed
to the injection Of government into
business. but do believe that it is an
essential function Of democratic gov
eminent to equalize opportunity SO
far as it Is within its power to do 80,
whether by the repeal Of archaic
statutes or the enactment Of modern
ones. If the antitrust laws keep the
farmers from endeavoring scientifically
to integrate their industry while other
industries find way to meet modern
conditions without violating such stat
utes, then it would seem reasonable
to find way for the farmers to meet
them under the same conditions. The
law should operate equally in fact. Re-
pairing the economic structure on one
side Is no injustice to the other side,
which is In good repair.
We have Travelled long way from
the old conception Of government as
merely defensive and policing agency ;
and regulative, corrective, or equaliz-
Ing legislation, which apparently is Of
a special nature, is often Of the most
general beneficial consequences. Even
the First Congress passed tariff act
that was avowedly for the protection
Of manufacturers; but protective
tariff always has been defended as a
means Of promoting the general good
through particular approach; and
the statute books are filed with acts
for the benefit Of shipping, commerce,
and labor.

JUSTICE TH1sLETHWAITE RE-
SIGNS FOLLOWING DECISION
IN DISTRICT COURT.

Bismarck, N. D.. March 1.-Pre-
ceedings in the case instituted against
H. G. Brissman, Of Bishop Brissman
and company, were ended in district
court when Judge w. L. Nuessle issu-
ed permanent injunction directed
against Justice of the Peace r. H.
Thistlethwaite. -, 80.
The injunction forbids further ac-
ton by the justice in the three cases
instituted by Joseph Coghlan, 'charg-
ing Brissman with violating the state
law in signing report Of the audit
of the Bishop, Brissman and COM
pany of the Bank Of North Dakota,
and two charges of violating the
false advertising law be representing
himself as a certified public account
ant under the laws of the state.
The defense has accounted Mr..
Brissman is a certified accountant in
Minnesota and that his firm has a
Fargo office and that the resident
manager and membe of the firm J.
A. Gull, is member of the North Da-
kota state board of accountancy.
Judge Nuessle, in issuing the in
junction, referred to cases here in the
past in which he said a justice may
have been imposed upon and persons
unjustly dragged into court, and re-
ferred to the possibility of "spite"
cases being filed if there were no re-
strictions upon filling matters without
approval of the states attorney.
The defendant was represented by
O'Hare and Cox while Theodore Kof-
fel appeared for Thistlethwaite with
Joseph Coghlin.
Following disposition of the case,
Justice Thistlethwaite went to the
county auditors office and filed his
resignation. The Brissnan cases

New Orleans, Oct. ga long rise
marked the cotton market last week,
lowest prices coming in the first two
sessions while highest prices werS
reached on the closing session. From
declines under the close OF the pre-
ceding week of fifteen to twenty-four
points there was rise to advances
of II to l42 points over, the range
OF fluctuations being 1877 to 157 points.
After trading as low as .21.72, Decem-
Der rose to 1922 and closed at 23.17
cents. Spot prices gained 1875 points
on mfddling, which closed at 90 cents
against 1926 on the close last week q
year ago.
The main reasons for the advanc-
es were to be found in the spot depart
ment where the demand constantly
broadened while offerings preceptibly
lessened A deep impression was made
early in the week by messages from
points, In Texas stating that in some
cases, the entire days offerings Of
