SonstOr Land. (New York Herald Tribune.) The death of Senator Lsdd .is a real loss to the State ofNorth Da- kota and to the nation. We have had occasion to disagree heartily with the senator upon a majority of capital ssues. We have never ques- toned the sincerity of his motives or the solid'lnteliectual attainments be- hind his decisions. The political caursc of Senator Ladd was the result of environment rather than native trend. A hard- headed, down- East Yankee. a skilled chemist and teacher. he was trans planted to the wheat fields of Da- kota. where life is at once simpler ,and more difficult. Existence there revolves around the problem of wresting a living from one central. enriching devastating crop. In the eastern part. of the state is some of the most fertile wheat land in the world; to the west it fades into arid- ity. One could almost plot the red- icalism pf the state by a map of mean annual rgnfali. As‘hesdi‘ e state's agricultural college, in c the touch with its farm problems. Senator Ladd's political views were inevitably colored by the tragedies of one- crop farming. A Wall Street speculator who was obliged to plunge annually on one stock. whether its prospects were high or dull \iould face much the same problem as a wheat furmerjn a region of doubtful rainfalh No wonder- tho Nonpartisan League arose to power upon the simple the- ory ‘that something must be done. Senator Ladd succumbed to much of the league’s false economies. Yet he never surrendered his independ- ence and one could not doubt his honesty of purpose. It was deeply to be regretted that be cast his lot with Senator La Fol- lctte last November and therefore fell within the Republican ban of the Third: party followers in the Senate.' By intellect and solidity of charactcr.:hc did not deserve to be classed \viih'the Brookliarts. Wheth- sr North Dakota returns a more radical or a more censervatlve sen- ator in his place that body will be the poorer for Senator Ladd's pass- ing. sub Must Shine.

CHAPTER 1”. Friend Bertha arrived at Meniow house the next morning as Lilah set before her neglected breakfast reading the sprightly account of the tea in the society column of the. Morning Herald. The breakfast was laid in the dining-room because there was no way of adequately heating the sun-parlor where they breakfasied in summer. The caller paused at the dining-room portal to clap her hands in mock applause. "Lilub. you were just perfectly splendid yesterday." silo cxrluim'ed. Lileh made a motion to arise. "No. don't get up." Bertha embraced her friend and kissed hcr. "I‘ve been dying to have you tell me what you thought of it." Liiah responded. pulling a chair for the visitor near her. "I was rather afraid that it didn't go of! so well." “it did! It was a huge success! I would have stayed a little while yesterday after the others were gone. but I knew you were tired and cvcryiiiing." “I was! I was dead! Whew!" She relaxed. "And there‘s a lot to do today. The decorations must come down. and the csterer's things, and all that. I'd love to have a party every day. if there wasn't any cleaning up to be done afterward." “But Sally does that. doesn't she?" Lilah looked around carefully be- fore answerin- "I have to help. Sally doesn't feel as well as she used to. and she is a lot more independent. You‘d daughter: I can‘t afford to hurt her feelings. because Michael thinks so much of her. Silo was in the family so long. you know." Lilab glanced around furtively again and continued: "She's been taking up with some ignorant dirty farmer. He just wants a drudge. you know. but she is really stirred up about it. and I'm afraid she is going to marry him." “Tch. Tchi" Berlha‘s mind was upon other ibinss. Silence held between them for a minute as she endeavored to find words to say what was st.the tip of her tongue. Finally she spoke: "Aren't you afraid. my dear. that you made a mistahe'in inviting Hel- en Runley?" Lilah looked up sharply. "Why. ldon'tltnow . . .Didl? . . . Why?" . “Sunly you know what is being slid about her?" "I've herd things. but a of think some times that I was her P "hflmufil‘ and gossip. i do not condemn people on such evidence. And because these rumors have put her in a rs- iher difficult position. I thought. it would buoy up her spirits." Bertha's face expressed disap- proval. “I'm surprised she came. But regardless of whether these things are true. it's rather risky of you to take up with her now. You know how people are." "Are people talking about it? Did you hear any ouv say anything about it yesterday?" l.iinh's_ tone was annoyed and apprehensive. "Well. yes, I did. The persons were rather surpriscd that she was here. They supposed. of course. that you didn't know about her. i hope you haien't got her down for your dinner." Something in Lilah rebclicd. Thr- bypocrites! Were they any hotter than Helen llunley. lhese people who snubbul her now? No! She didn't answer her question. "There is anoiher thing. Lilah." She hesitated. How was she to say it? Words defied her . "You know. my dear. that. in repeating this. l'm only doing it because I'm your friend. and think you ought to know." Lilah regarded her with nervous interest. What was on Bcrtha's mind? "It's just. this." said the. visitor. "Some of the directors are saying ugly things about Michael. 0! course. these remarks are being re. ealed." Midlael Menlow's wife reddened. “What are they saying. Bertha?" she asked. excitedly. The visitor gave her a resume of what she had been told on the previous afternoon. omitting names and places Lilah‘s heart pounded faster with each word. (To be continued.)

Whut will you charge to get him out?" the caller asked. The lawyer. sizing up his prospec- tlva client as one who was not very prosperous. replied: "Uh .ten dollars." Thoreupon the negro. who had been away from the community for some time. and who had. without the home people knowing lnything about it. accumulated a little money. pulled out a large roll of bills. The lawyer saw the bills and hastily said: “What jail is it where they have your boy?" “Why. boss. it's de county jail. dey calls it, up heah on he hill." "Do you mean he is in the big stone jail up there. with steel bars on all the windows?" "Yus, sub; yns, suh; dat's de place, boss." “on. well. when I answered your first question. I thought you meant they had him in the little wooden building down here that they use as n. holdover. if he’s in the stone jail. with the barred windows. it will cost 250 to get him out of that." The old dsrky slowly counted out the required amount. the while muttering: "Dal pestiffous boy csin' t be sat- isfied \vid no little wooden jail: seems lak he alius picks out dam 'spcnsive places" LaFollctte and Wisconsin's Example (N. 1.

The "Wisconsin idea" can be suin- murized in a sentence. It was to build a State Administration of suf- ficient power and expel-these to deal with great business corporations in such a way as to protect weak in- lcrcsis against oppression; save the State's natural resources from greedy private exploitation. and balance the burden of taxation equitably between organized and unorganized capital. This principle but! to be translated by the La li‘olicite Progressives. who came into power in 1900. into statutes. There wow the Direct Primary Act and Corrupt Practices Act to purify poi- illcs. A comprehensive Civil Ber- vicc Act invigorated the Adminis- tration. There were the advaioreln taxation of railways. a scientific tax commission. and finally the income tax. A public utilities commission was created, banking and insurance were brought under State regulav tion. and following the Workmen's Compensation Law came the great act of 1811 for an industrial com- mission to administer all labor on- actments. Dairy. and food commis- sions were established. and a mar- ket commission to teach farmers how best to dispose of their pro- ducts. The State university under Van Else was brought into the ser- vice of the people and the severe- ment.
