The Fargo Argus commenting upon
the late removal bill says:
The bill itself is comprehensive, and
if not illegal in some respects, will result
| in a beneficial movement. The plan,
| adopted and carried out in Michigan and
Nebraska was successful. Supposing
| some one does "get rich," not Oft the
territory, but because of taking advan
tage of opportunities. The Argus has
never been of that cranky gang, who, un-
willing or unable TO do anything them
| selves, hate themselves and the world be-
cause someone else succeeds. The Argus
| is in favor of letting those who make the
opportunities have the advantages, when
| ever such advantage does not adversely
| affect the general veal If members of
the commission make money by outside
investments, it IS legitimate so long as
the public is protected.
The Argus sizes up the scheme about
right and it might have added, without
doing any one injustice, that the princl-
pal howlers against the measure can be
found among that class who are either
| jealous of those who aided in getting it
through or mad because they were not di-
rectly interested in the deal. The fact
that some one is liable 10 make little
money out of a public measure nearly
breaks some peoples hearts and they a,
once commence to howl about some one
"selling OUT" etc. As a rule, we have
observed, such men will not hesitate tc
| do little sneaking acts far below the dig
nifty of an average dead beat for the
slightest gain. SO far as the Alert il
concerned it don't care if the commits.
| sloners make million out of the deal sc
long as such a result does not affect the
welfare of the general public or the
Alert.
