SIR
l have noticed recently certain sig
nificant comments in New York
newspapers concerning the approach
ing election of a United States Sena-
tor in North Dakota and the candi-
dacy of Senator McCumber now the
Chairman Of the Committee on Fin
ance,, for reelection to the Senate.
These New York newspapers have a
friendly attitude toward the interests
OF very powerful banking and COM
mercial organizations, and when the
expressions in these metropolitan
newspapers indicate a desire on their
part that the present Chairman of the
Finance Committee should, not be re-
elected to the Senate, it is, in my
opinion, of urgent Importance to the
farmers of the United States to con-
slider what is involved in the campaign
in North Dakota; and, as one who has
been called on to work in the inter-
ests of agriculture and the agricultu-
raj people of the country, would like
to say word concerning Senator Nc
Cumber and what his service and po-
sition in the Senate mean to the far
.mers and all the laborious and genu-
inely productive workers in the Uunit-
ed States.
1t happened that I came into per-
sonal contact with Senator McCum-
Der and his work in the Senate at a
time when was serving as Master of
the National Grange. AS such I was
chairman of the legislative commit
tee of that great organization, and it
became my duty to take an active part
in representing and voicing the oppo-
sition Of the National Grange, and, in
fact, of practically all the farmers of
the United States, to the proposed
reciprocity treaty with Canada which
was pending at that time. The then
Republican Administration at Wash
ington, through considerations which
in later years were recognized to have
been mistaken ones, was strongly
urging the passage by Congress Of the
bill to establish the provisions of this
reciprocity treaty, and other powerful
forces were working to the same end.
It required no small amount of cour-
age and public spirit in a Senator at
Washington to stand in opposition to
the Administration Of his party and
fight the battles of the farmers, but
this is just what Senator McCumber
! did, and with great ability and effec-
tiveness.
In all the work of opposition to this
measure-from start to finish - no
other Senator and no one gave us
more whole-hearted, capable and tire
less help and encouragement than
Senator McCumber. l took part in
committee hearings, in the prepare
ton and presentation Of arguments
and protests, and in appeals to pub
lie opinion through the press and 9TH
erwise. In every feature of our work
we had the active and spontaneous
assistance of Senator McCumber. In
fact, in all fairness he could be called
the real leader Of the farmers cause
among the Senators. He made his Of
flee available as the headquarters of
the farmers representatives. He gave
|us his unremitting personal attention,
helped us in every way in the hear
ings and in the preparation of state

The voters of Iowa in a primary
election held Monday handed what is
termed the stalwart bunch a heavy
jolt, following out the example Of In
diana and Pennsylvania What has
happened in these states is liable to
happen in other states between now
and fall-progressiveism seem to be
in the air. In Iowa here were six
candidates running for the nominal
ton to succeed Senator Kenyon, who
resigned to go on the federal bench.
Smith w. Brookhart, running as a
progressive has beaten the field very
decisively and won the nomination by
a big majority. 1t requires thirty
five per cent Of the vote to be NOM
mated in Iowa and Brookhart received
over forty-one per cent. He ran on a
platform for reduced railroad rates,
repeal of the Esch-Cummins railroad
law, bonus for soldiers, reorganiza-
ton of the federal reserve system
and the reopening Of the Newberry
case. That platform evidently struck
popular chord with the voters of
Iowa and would be popular in most
any state. The old wing of the re-
publican party Of the nation who has
been running the juggemaut over the
people regardless of consequences, are
commencing to find out that the
worn will turn, using this express
sion as representing the people. When
senators get so that they will not lis
ten to the voice of the people there
comes a time when the people be-
come aroused and make them listen.
That is what is happening in the var
ious states nowadays.
-U-
There are three judges to be elected
to the supreme court this fall and Of
course there are many candidates in
the field for the positions, about
eleven candidates we think First on
the list of men is our own Judge M.
J. Englert, who has made a wonder
fully fine record on the district bench.
We shall be sorry to lose Judge Eng
1ert on the district bench should he
be elected to the supreme court, but
now that he wants the position we
are strong for him and hope to see
Barnes county roll up magnificent
majority for the home candidate. For
the other two we lean strongly to
Sveinbjorn Johnson, present attorney
general, and the man who is making
a gallant fight to put North Dakota
back in its proper place. Mr.. john
son is fighter and good lawyer as
well as being a fine citizen. We
would like to see him land on the SUI
preme bench. Then there is Judge
Nuessle, one Of the best district judg-
es in the state, Judge Cole of Fargo,
and Judge Burr, all good men and
which of them the people select will
be all right with US. We need a good
supreme court and we have lots of
good men to select from.
The country is now facing another
big strike by rail workers of the
country which will affect 100000
workers. The railroad labor board
has ordered reduction in wages that
will amount to $110,OOO,O0O. The bal
lots are now beng printed and will be
sent out to the rail workers and the
result of this ballot will be awaited
with interest. It is about certain that
the men will vote to strike and thus

WHEN THE WIFE MUST PAY


Startling evidences of the lack of
thrift in the average American fam
lily is disclosed by some statistics re-
Gently ublished by one of the big life
insurance companies. According to
this report 81 out Of every 100 men
who die leave nothing for their fam
lilies. Out of the remaining 1915
leave from $4,000 to $4,000. Two Of
the remaining three men leave COM
fort and but one leaves actual wealth.
What becomes of the families of the
50 who leave nothing? Eac;, case s
doubtless a little tragedy in itself. 1t
means that the wife must turn bead
winner for the children, or that she
must become dependent upon relatives
or charity, for roof to cover her and
for food to keep her and her children
alive. 1t means that So men out of
every 100 leave to their wives a hard
er problem than the one at which they
themselves have failed. If the hus-
band is unable to make any provision
for the future Of his family, while he
has wife to manage the home for
him, how can he expect his widow to
do both jobs? How ran the wife be
expected to be both the breadwirner
and the homekeeper when the husband
failed to handle but one of these Jobs
successfully? The man who doesn't
make some provision 10" his family
in case of death is assuming that his
wife can be both hreAGwinner and
neutrality-suspicious..

Henry Ford has said that if he is
wanted he will be candidate for the
presidency, of course on the democrat
ic ticket. Mr.. Ford will have large
clientele to start with if every Ford
owner in the country would vote for

changing of fire alarm bells. rang out
over the sillness of the air at 2:oS
o'clock this morning. Detachments
of all three FIRE companies turned out

alarm. The blaze was in the old
building of the gas plant OF the An

origin is not determined but the blaze
was discovered in some gas tar on
the floor of the building, and was
extinguished in short order by the
firemen. who found it unnecessary to
use other than chemicals
