MORE HORSEPOWER

Fourteen per cent of all New York farms are
electrically equipped, whereas but 3.5 per cent Of
the farms of the nation as a whole are so served.
The TALL miles of rural service lines have cost
nearly $14,OOO,OO0.
Five important recommendations on farm cleo
trificatiOn are: That the companies finance the
rural lines, establishing a minimum service charge
to cover the cost; that service be installed i'm
mediately after ordering; that current rates shall
be the same as for cities, the minimum charge
covering the extra distribution cost; that the
farmers be definitely informed of the financial
conditions, and that the companies establish farm
service departments to help patrons get the best
results out of their installations.
With increased use of electrical service, the
New York farmer is fast acquiring competence.
Where electrical power can be used, it is far
cheaper than manpower. A one-hOrse motor that
costs only a few cents an hour to operate has the
strength of several men.
The astonishing growth of electrical develop
ment will place within the reach of millions Of
farmers the current they can utilize. It should
easily be possible for the New York record of Ia
per cent of farms electrified to become a natiOna
record within the next few years, if the farmers
themselves would seize the opportunities giver
them.

LAME DUCKS STILL WADDLE

Laws and appropriations are now being made
by congressman who we're defeated at the election
last November. There are about go of these
lame ducks" who were repudiated by the voters
at home but who are still recording yeas and nays
in Washington.
The women of the country, under the leader
ship of the Woman's Home Companion, have for
two years been endeavoring to remedy this ridi-
culous situation, which is a relic of the early and
slow-motiOn days of the republic. They are
urging the passage of the Norris amendment,
which would bring not only the congress but also
the president and vice president into office in the
January after their election in November, while
the issues and the pledges of the campaign are
still fresh in mind.
Under our constitution the congress chosen by
the people does not meet, unless a special session
is called, until more than a year after its election
Our Seventeen congress, picked last November
will first get into action next December.
The Norris amendment to which the women OF
the country have given their support would get
rid of the "short session" such as we are now
experiencing, and which is always responsible fOI
some bad laws and much waste of taxpayers
money. For those very reasons, perhaps, the
professional politicians do not want the amend
ment passed and will continue to oppose it as
they have opposed similar reforms for half Z
century.

AN UNWARRANTED ACCUSATION

When he declared that American intervention
in Hayti and Santo Domingo, as in Mexico and
Nicaragua, was at the dictatiOn of New York
'mercenaries" to further their schemes of "bri-
berry and corruption" Senator Burton K. Wheeler
of Montana made a most serious charge against
President Wilson and Colonel William J. Bryan.
Both Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Bryan, thus accused
of being servile agents of Wall street and Sim
perialism and theft" are no longer living to make
answer. The truth is that their intervention in
Santo Domingo and Hayti was in the interests
of the people of those republics, which had for
many years been exploited by military adven-
turers with a total lack of responsibility for either
national or international obligations.
Santo Domingo had, up to the time of our inter
%vention, produced only one president who didn't
die with his boots on. The climax came with the
action of President Sam in combining several score
of his political adversaries in prison and murder
ing them in cold blood. The government was
bankrupt, foreign life and property were threaten
ed, and it was necessary for the United States to
restore o semblance of order there or let some
European government do it.
The result of American occupation was the
creation of solvency in government, the building
of roads and schools, the establishment of santa
ton. The ~politicos who make an industry of kill
ing and burning have been out of jobs, but thu
masses of the people have enjoyed safety anC
progress.
President Wilson and Colonel Bryan were no
imperialists and the tools of crooked and design
ing interests. Such a charge is an unwarranteC
reflection upon their memories. No more ar

Dawson County Review
The North Dakota senate the other day refused
to restore the death penalty for murder in that
state. A few others have also abolished the ap-
prOpriate penalty for the taking Of human life.
Last week we were regaled with the story of
William N. Coffey, who had a taste in his leisure
time for welfare work, and who left his wife and
children, married another woman without bother
ing about a divorce from his first wife, and then
killed his second wife with a baseball bat and ham
mer, having first possessed himself of her money,
dismembered her body and buried the parts in
various graves.
When the crime was proved on him he finally
admitted it after telling many stories but the
one vital point of his confession upon which he
insisted with the most logged persistence was
that the crime was committed in Wisconsin, rather
than Iowa.
If committed in Iowa the murderer might hang
while in Wisconsin life Imprisonment is the max
imum penalty.
Coffey admits that he lied c~opiously about the
crime but on one point he insists there was M
lying-he committed the murder in Wisconsin
They do not hang murderers in Wisconsin and HI
prefers life Imprisonment to death.
Some people believe that it is wrong for societ,
to take a life in punishment for murder. Their
never was a murderer who was not of that opin
ion. Some people believe that life imprisonmer
is a sufficient punishment. Every murdere
agrees that it is quite sufficient and usually to
much. Hanging is the one punishment that tn
murderer does not want.
We think that if punishment is primarily G
even secondarily to deter others from committin
similar crimes, the case of Coffey makes it's ow
! argument.

RESPECT THE FORESTS

Forest week" originated in the Northwest, is
fast becoming of national significance. The last
week of April will probably be designated as such
this year. The object is to interest everyone in
the forest as a friend, partner, and protector.
Fire fighting, wood using, tree planting, forest
recreation all come under the general purview of
Forest week.
The forests employ hundreds of thousands
throughout this country; they fill the harbOrs
with ships, the freight yards with loaded cars
they build homes and businesses all over America
even though no tree may grow within 100 miles
of the farthest user out on the arid plains. The
forests conserve the birds, the river waters, the
health of the nation. Last year nearly 10000
people visited the national forests of the tive
nOrthwesternmost states.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS REDUCED

In no respect have the railroads of the United
States made greater progress than in the proven
ton of injuries to employees.
Reports Of the interstate commerce commission
show that in road freight service, which repre-
sents the most rugged type, there has been a
gratifying progressive reduction in both fatalities
and injuries per 1000 men employed for each
succeeding year for the last nine years.
In 1913, when the railroads were controlled and
operated by the government, there was an aver
age of 169,819 employees in road freight service,
Of whom SAT were killed and % O23 injured. Or q
rate per 1000 killed Of 499 end s5.57 injured.
In 1925, the average number employed ia
freight service was 14s,267, the number killed
per 1000 was 1877 and injured, S2,47, a reduc-
ton in killed compared with 1918 Of more than
so rer cent and in injured Of about 81 per cent

David Starr Jordan said this 80
years ago, better than I can say it;
Emerson said it before he did, and
Shakespeare, who said everything,
preceded him with the same idea.
But Is centuries before Shakespeare
came into this breathing world, fully
made up, Saint Peter said it; and if
that is not sufficient authority upon
the value of the vision to the man
who is to be, I refer you to the
founders of all the religions we know
about, in the days when history was
still in the dawn. We have it from
nearly all of them that the voice
from heaven came to them in a
dream, and that they arose and

The real cataclysmic upheaval was the order published prohibiting any further fishing this year, only the fish had disappeared before the up- heaval.
 Science does not know why the shortage of the salmon runs this year, showing that the scientist can be most ignorant of ordinary af- fairs, criminally indifferent to the cause of depletion, or just has no common sense.
 The fisherman has declared that the future of the salmon surply was in danger due to the over fishing ip all areas and the non-escapement of salmon. The scientist pointed to an amazing increase" during the season of 1924 due to the escape ment under the regulation pro mulgated in 1924. But the scientist did not state that the amazing in crease" was at the cost of seed fish which endangered the future sup ply. Common sense tells fishermen that when salmon do not return te a given stream after stated period that stream is depleted. The know ledge of salmon runs in the various districts in Alaska and his obserya tion of the run or lack of run O salmon to those areas is due to ovel production And that overprodrc tiou only can cause depletion.

There's no sportsmanship in this cannery game and newcomers will be as ruthless and as wasteful as we. It will be anything, in any way, to get a pack.

Where did you get 'em?" Bab- bier inquired, as he looked over the dock and indifferently sized up the two canoes. How long ago you catch em?"
 Last night we got 'em. How much will you give?"
 Don't want 'em at all Take 'em some place else, throw 'em overheard. Don't bring any more. I'm not buying salmon" and Bab- bier shuffed away with that pc culiar limp he had. He was in- terested in where the fish came from, of course Had the Natives told him he would have had the Arctic tow drag seine outfit to the place. I asked why, since the cannery was desirous of securing all the sokoi salmon it could, l ask ed why he coldly turned down the two lots of fine fresh fish.
 We cant control the fish in the water" replied Babbler, "but we can control 'em dead and we've pretty near cinch on those who depend on fishing for a living. We don't want any independent gear il the water, nor do we care to en courage independent asnermen This is the policy and it will be adhered to-"
 The big idea was to control the supply and to hold down the price ] of raw material. There was nc other concern, handling salmon near enough to Wrangell to caus' the Association any worry, so th' Indians were obliged to toss thei
 1900 red salmon overside an' take in their nets. There was n' race partiality shown. Independen
 white fishermen were snubbed a
 coldly and as effectively. The out
 fit was cold blooded, weasel hearte'
 and wholly selfish. Still, at that the A. F. A. carried no more car diac icicles than other infant in dustries'' of the period.

 back wouldn't eventually make can
