NO ONE HAS A MONOPOLY. I Under a Bismarck date line, the Fargo Forum carries a special, dently sent out by a cub and unseat soned reporter in which it is that the Bismarck Tribune is trying to confuse the Equity movement with the Farmers' Educational and erative Union of America. Nothing is more distant from our thoughts. When the Union recently incorporated its milling and house company, we gave the Union a front page story, in fact, several atories relative to the work of the Union were run. The Bismarck Tribune is in pathy with any movement tending to better the marketing condition of the farmers.

It makes no difference ns whether the movement wears tha Equity badge or the Union label. not know who the corre' spondent is who is sending dispatches to the Fargo Forum, s1amJ ing Bismarck institutions and ments for the betterment of the ers of Burleigh and surrounding counties, nor do we care. It is probablyi some young and enthusiastic cub porter, working on "space," who needs! the money and thinks more of the "dough" than of being loyal to the town that feeds and sustains him. All members of the Farmers' cational and Co-operative Union of America in Burleigh county, includ-i ing H. P.

Knappen, secretary of the) Union, are extended a hearty come to attend the big marketing coherence which will be held in the Auditorium, June 6. The Tribune believes that no onel has a monopoly on brains and that1 all the good is not confined to any4 one farmers' organization. All oO them have their elements of good and! also their weak points. This cation will boost, in and out of son, any organization, regardless of Its name or origin, if it is doing good work for the farmers. North Dakota needs more farmers' clubs, gathered together for the adi vancement of agriculture and for tha betterment of marketing conditions.

Nothing can be gained by the variousi farmers' organizations fighting each other. Like the various creeds and denominations in religious circles, they are all working toward the same All power to them. Articles such as are published in the Forumi under a Bismarck date line cannot help the do we think that it will injure it much, either. Its an-t Imus is too baldly shown to have any effect upon the fair-minded farmers of this section. Let's boost knocking never got a town or an organization very far.

We hardly feel that the special ing in the Forum was authorized by the Farmers' (Educational and Co-opi erative Union of America. The Tribune trusts that the Unioni Will co-operate with the American ciety of Equity in making the bigi marketing conference at the um a success, Saturday, June 6. come. The time is 2:00 p. m.

Few are as good as Roosevelt ati coining phrases which catch the ulace. At Chicago it was: "My Hat) is in the Ring following the conj vention, with the hat slightly damage ed, the battle cry was: "We standi at Armageddon and Battle for the Lord." Now it is the "River ofl Doubt." When it comes to breaking) Into print Roosevelt is irreslstable. The New York Herald well calls the former New Haven chief: "Mr. Mellon of the mellon patch." The Fargo Forum is boosting thei Tribune's, daily circulation daily: Thanks! HI8 FATHER'S SON. Morgan's interview in New Yorta recently, in answer to the testimony given by Charles S.

Mellon, former president of the New Haven, against his father, the late J. Pierpont gan, strikes a sympathetic chord Public sentiment is against befouling) the memory of a man who is dead, however black his reputation may have been. Here are a few pungentsentences from the son's defense of his father: "For any blame that attaches to that act (telling Mr. Siellen that a change in presidency was desirable), whether it be ed as a member of the Board of Directors or as an individual, ac- I cept full and complete responslbility." "Mr. Mellen is right in describing my father as a forceful man." "He is right in picturing my father's deep interest in New Haven affairs.

My father was born in New England and lie believed in the New Haven Railroad." "The imputation that my father in any sense took the management of the railroad or any of its After the A. B. C. mediators are1 through at 'Niagara Kalis there is other job at Ulster they could tackle. Baseball, golf and band concerts have followed the flag into Vera Cruz and the latest is an aviation school.

The Progressive party seems to have reached the stage of mediation Here's hoping the G. O. P. and the Bull iMoosers can get under one again. Roosevelt showed his political tuteness as soon as he landed at Oyster Bay.

His first official act a9 chief of the Progressives was to send for the commander of the commissary, General George w. kins. You can't carry on a political fight without beans and hardtack. RURAL P03TAL DELIVERY IN ENGLAND. It is re an experiment is to be made by "the post office ment of the United Kingdom in tha use of motor cycles with side car tachments for conveying letters and parcels in rural districts, and with this object in view orders have been placed with domestic firms for machines.

It is predicted that in less than a year the horse, will have ed from the postal service of the United Kingdom, the makers of the) motor vehicles being so sanguine as to their suitability for the work ofl delivery and collection. It is stated! that by their use it will be possible to give two deliveries a day in countrty districts where there is now only one, and at a less cost. COMMERCE OF MONTREAL, The year 1913 was a trying one! for Canada and the city of Montreal. The too rapid expansion which ed overborrowing in every direction, brought on the reaction that had? been predicted for sometime past, and resulted in a half in speculation and! stringency in money matters. The bank stood the strain well, but husbanded their resources, exercising great precaution as to the securities accepted, and only loaning what wasj needed to sound institutions of houses for legitimate business poses, and that at a high rate of terest.

The failures in Quebec Froy ince numbered 501 in 1913, as pared with 488 in 1912, that of Canada Iron Corporation being the) most serious. Manufacturing concerns generally were not well supplied with orders, and many workmen were laid off in the fall and winter. While conditiona are approaching normal, very little speculation is attempted. Real estate in this district is absolutely dormant, but prices have not yet dropped from the high level reached in the late boom, properties being held in the hope that urban growth may justify the high prices paid. Only such large building operations as were started before the depression in were completed, and no projects were gun.

The spring and summer are looked forward to with considerable anxiety by railroad and financial cles, on account of the anticipated difficulty of obtaining more money to carry out plans already made for tensions and betterments. GIGANTIC INDUSTRY. Striking facts regarding our forest resources, their value and their waste are condensed in an eight-page trated circular of the American forestiy association just issued. The ber industry is said to employ 000 people, to whom are paid ly $367,000,000 in wages, the worth of products being $1,250,000,000. The forests of the country cover 550,000,000 acres.

70 Lives Cost Annually. An average of 70 human lives are sacrificed annually in forest fires, says the circular, and a loss occurs, of $25,000,000. Damage from insects, and tree diseases, which follow fire, costs each year $50,000,000. The cost of destruction resulting from hoods is not estimated, but is given as "countless millions."

In some places years will elapse before the beauty of the trees will be near what it has been in the past.

BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE With the Editors FEELS HIMSELF SLIPPING. P.

D. Norton, second choice conJ gressman from this district, not long ago played hookey from his duties at Washington, and came out tat North Dakota, to look after somei matters of patronage with the ing democrats of the state, and pre-i sumably also to fix up his fences ai little for the coming primary campaign. In the campaign two years ago, there were five candidates for the! republican nomination and Norton) won because there was at that timel a provision in the, North Dakota law" that if no one had a majority of theJ first choice votes, the candidate the highest number of first second choice votes should be declart ed the nominee. L. A.

Simpson ofi Dickinson was high man, but Norton had made a special plea for second choice votes, and when these were taken into account, he had a few hun. dred more votes than Simpson, and was declared the nominee. That proJ vision of the law has been repealed, so that this year, the high maff wiU lie nominated. 1 Valley City Is to be surrounded byj midget flour and feed mills, if th0 reports emanating from that place areto he credited. It is said that there will be three candidates this year, Norton, son and a man from the north end of the district but if this is true, wd have not heard the name of third Valley News.

THARALSON FOR TREASURER. The candidacy of Col. T. H. Tharalson of Grafton for the republican nomination for state treasurer, is, cording to expressions in the statq press of quite a general nature, ing favorably received, with prospects of his being the party nominee after the June primaries arei over.

Col. Tharalson has had practical experience in the office which he pires to, having been deputy undeij the present administration and wide acquaintance over the state, viable army record as second lieu-' tenant of Co. First North Dakota)Volunteers, in the Philippines, pleasing personality are assets which are recognized as most valuable in his campaign for the nomination. 1 Col. Tharalson is still attached tq the state national guard and holds the rank of lieutenant colonel.

Commenting on his candidacy, the! Bismarck Palladium, in a recent isi sue, has the following, in part: "For the past week predictions' throughout the Missouri slope havei been to the effect that he will ceive practically the united republic can support in the-primaries, and tha newspapers, which have heretofore) been are also ing his Herald. 1 THE "TAP LINES" DECISION.

PRESS ON BECKER'S SECOND CONVICTION! "Vindication of Law." I Rochester Union and "In the conviction for the second time of Charles Becker for the crime oil murder most of us will recognize the! vindication of law and order against! a particularly insidious form of hosi tility to them." "Verdict Righteous." Buffalo Courier: "The public will believe the verdict righteous. Thel trial was conducted by Justice Saim uel Seabury, considered one of thel ablest jurists on the supreme bench of the state." "The Four Washington hand will scarcely be raised to save Becker time. Hardly a reason could be ad-i vanced for clemency for the foun and there is even less itt the case of Becker "The Master Mind." Hartford Courant: "It was a nasty mess of gamble, divide, lie, cheat and kill, and Becker's was the masten mind of the situation." "Not Unexpected." Syracuse Post-Standard: "The verdiet in the Becker case was not unexpected. The case made agains himi on his second trial was stronger thaw on the first." "Must Have Effect." Hartford Times: "The conviction1 must have its excellent effect upon' what seems to the rather general practice of actusIT barbarism in tain strata of a city which holds self to be the center of American) civilization." "Must Follow Albany Knickerbocker "Becker must follow the four men' to the electric chair, unless ai pardon or a second interference wltht the verdict of the lower court by the) court of appeals can save him." "Loopholes." Detroit Free Press: "It is ly to be hoped that this verdict will stand the test of appeal better than its forerunner and that no errors in rulings will afford loopholes for the defendant's lawyers to obtain another reversal." fm IP AUTOMOBILE SPEED FANS MAVJS JSYES ON APOLIS, WHERE BIG 500 MILE SWEEPSTAKES WILL TAKE PLACE TOMORROW. What fourteen cars in the accompany list of fortyJfour will be disbarred at the starting tape at ten o'clock on the morning of May 30th? That is the question that interests every tomobile enthusiast.

Elimination Trials. For the first time since the inaugur'ation of the apolis Speedway Race, three years the number of entries is large that elmination trials must be held for three days previous to the event in order to reduce the field of starters to the limit of thirty ed by the Speedway management and the American Automobile association. Thirty Speediest Cars. Each contestant will be sent once around the 2ys mile speedway course, and only the thirty fastest cars will answer to the starter's gun at the bebeginning of the 500-mile race. It is anticipated that the successful cars will need to show a speed well over eighty miles per hour in order to qualify.

What lacutal average speed of the winner of the big race will be is a matter of speculation, but it is certain that the thirty cars started will comprise an aggregation of the fastest machinesever built. Although 'the restriction of motor sizes will be the same as last 450 cubic inches of piston is quite probable that year's place will be bettered, and it may be that the speedway recoad for the distance made by the winner of two years ago will be shattered. Success of French Car. The success of a French car with its French driver last year, has not only resulted in the entry of the same combination this year, but has duced several other foreign cars and drivers of world-wide reputation to crass bcean tq ipate in this event. Prizes of $50,000 awarded in one with eight cr ten thousand dollars in ditional pirizes offered by accessory unknown on the other side, and it therefore happens ithait the best cars jthat man, can produce and the most expert drivers that the proper combination of brain, brawn and nerve can form, have sembled at Indfanapolls.

pome of these twelve foreign cars have been credited with speeds of 100 miles per hour for short distances, but in a 500-mile contest, the race is not ways to the swift. Tire luck" counts for much, and with this in mind the designers have kept the weights of their cars as low as possible, some of the machines entired barely ping the scales at 2,000 pounds. Americana at Wheel. Eight foreign drivers have been en'tfJred to ipijot itwelve Iforeign cars, so it is evident that four cans will sit behind the wheels of as many cars from across the water.
