The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1890-09-13

Several North Dakota papers have lately
sharply criticised E. Ashley Mears, the
Minot banker, for the exorbitant and un-
reasonable attorneys fee which he causes
to be inserted in every mortgage on which
he loans money owned by eastern capital
lists. These criticisms certainly have much
merit in them, but they cannot mitigate
the evils already wrought by his inordinate
lust for money, nor avert continuance of
his system, which is not only disastrous to
the settlers of the country, but repugnant
to even other banking corporations. As
a rebuke to his Shylock-ike business
methods, the Bismarck Tribune says that
''at meeting of the North Dakota Bank
ers' association held in Grand Forks on
Wednesday evening, (sept. 3d), at the
Hotel Dacotah, resolution was offered
expelling E. Aashley Mears of the National
Bank of North Dakota, at Fargo, as q
member of the association. The reading
of the resolution elected some considerable
discussion, IN Wn1cn MI. Meafs was strOng-
ly condemned because of his manner of
conducting the business of banking, and
as the association desired to place itself
upon record as heartily condemning his
methods of transacting business, believing
it was equally injurious to both borrower
and lender. The resolution as introduced
was passed and he was accordingly expelled.
The action of the association may be JUS
titled, but the verdict of the people gener-
ally will be reserved until full explana-
tion of the cause of Mr.. Mears' dismissal
is published. What the people want to
know is wherein Mr.. Mears differs from
other bankers"

Although, according to the Republican,
but sixty people were present to listen to
the address OF Hon. j. W. Harden, yet
the above named sheet is sufficiently
struck with the force OF his arguments to
devote over a column in it's effort at re-
futation. The writer is much concerned
that more time was not devoted to the
suffrage question and draws the conclu-
sion that Mr.. Harden is notinsympathy
with the movement. He is criticised for
not referring to Moody's work for tin
and Tor failing to state that Malays and
Coolies 0 receive twelve toffteen cents
for mining tin and that four cents per
pound is added to preventwagesinmines
in the Black Hills reaching the same
point. 1t is falsely stated that the
speaker had little to say OF reciprocity,
whereas he had very much to say on the
subject, attributing to Mr.. Blaine much
foresight in foreseing the drift OF senti-
ment in the northwest and advancing
beyond his party to place himself in par
j alsympathy with it. It was rightly
asserted that Mr.. Harden was sure that
the government should lend the farmers
money on their real estate because it
loaned money to the national banks.
The writer is led to wonder why Farmer
Harden left the democratic ranks and
proceeds to expound Democratic doctrine
81 ably as to force the conclusion that
the criticism was written by a democrat.

This c~uteness of both the old parties pre-
SCENTS a feature in politics that would not
a moment be tolerated in any other
business. What congressman is there who
would pay his valet full wsges for full
time, and condone his absence for days
and weeks. No amount of argument, that
he was at work for himself or somebody
else, would for a moment be considered.
He would be compelled to give his employ
or full time, or quit. We think it high
time the people were asking their som
gressmen to attend to the business they
were employed to do. If a man has not
sufficient honor, integrity, and ability to
be elected on his own merits, then the peo-
pie nave a right to find some other man
who has. Much as we have admired Mai.
Picker, and as true a man as we thought
him, we think he has made a fatal mistake
by putting himself into the hands of poll,
ticans. By coming home to mend fences
he has shown q distrust of the people Of
South Dakota that will react strongly
against him. AS a man he has been great
ly admired. As a politician he belongs t.
an unpopular crowd. Huron Independent

The modern magazine may be taken as
embodying the best literature Of the
world, as the magazine editor pays the
highest prices to novelist, Scientist,
statesmen, soldiers, and even kings and
princes, for the best they can furnish in
the literary line. The well-edited magi.
zine becomes an educating influence in
the family circle, whose Importance can.
not be over estimated. The children, as
they. grow up, are attracted by it's illus.
t%rations, and 30 come in time to have a
taste for reading. There is always some
thing that is new, something that is
strange, something that is interesting;
and we consider that we are doing our
readers a positive benifit if we are instru-
mental in placing such a publication
within their reach. The special orange
ment which we have made with the Cos
mopolitan presents very unusualinduce-
ments. That magazine, although only
IN the tenth month under its new man

abled to make, il the offer is accepted
before January next, such q very low

the Cosmopolitan for little more than

1886 pages OF reading matter by the

that he would sweep the state in November,
and that next winter he siould place it in

CoNKLIN AM PIERRE

Ha ME"
As is well known, "Conk" is working
himself into a feuer heat, stumping the
state for Pierre by the school-house
route. tits said chat he is wearing him
self all away in his frantic efforts to boil
ster up Pierre's decaying fortunes, and
ssumes not only to say that Paddy
vile should he the Mecca OF all true
South Dakotains (via Huron, OF course)
and that she and her boomers are strict
~ thus and SO on integrity and deals
generally, but he has always thought so
has always been a Pierre man and he
implores everybody to do likewise-like-
wise as does "Conk."
To show our readers that even the
good, the noble, and the grandiloquent,
do sometimes ''slip a cog" "throw outa
stifie'' and "trip at the heel" just like
other mortals, and also that "Conk''
himself once thought SO, we here repro.
duce a little article from his WATERFOWL
wafelet, dated October "a, OF last year
some two or three weeks after election.
1t not only shows Pierre in her true
light through one of her subsidized or.
gans, but it also spanks "Conk" to
sleep on the idea he is now preaching, to
wit: That Peerless Pierre is a perfect
princess, chaste and virtuous withal
Here are "Conk's" own words OF above
date. Read them and the first time 20,
see him ask him about the matter:
CAPITAL BOOMERS KICKING.
There lis q deal OF kicking by the capita
workers OF the various capital candi
dates now that the election is passed;
the committees OF the unsuccessful towns
are slow to meet their unfultilled engage
ments and a sullen growl cal be heard
all along the line; even Pierre, a towr
thus far in the lead, is not an exception
While there last week we heard a yer,
prominent and justly esteemed man, wht
worked for Pierre mdustriously ant
quite successfully for two months, sa,
that the Pierre committee promised hin
q certain number OF lots, that were to b
valuable" He had received his decd
and examined his lots and he told Il
any one could have them for one dolla
apiece; that they were not worth payin
recorders fees on. This man will no
probably lift for Pierre in the next cap
ital fight. In our answers to correspon
dents, in this issue, will be found a.
answer too two inquiries that com
from unpaid capital workers, that j
will be well for capital committees to es
anime as well as those who have worke.

The Sturgis Record copies and thus en-
dorses an article entitled "Moody and
His Work." from the Press and Da-
kotian. The following is a sample:
'Envious persons have asserted that
Moody was a monopolist-the attorney
for the Homestake Mining company, etc.,
and had no interest and no sympathy
with the people. How completely
Moody's senatorial record refutes and
rebukes such representation. From the
hour he took his seat he has seemed tic
know only the people OF Dakota and
their interests" "Men thoughtlessly
speak of our senator as the representa-,
tive OF the Homestake Mining company,
conveying the impression that Senator
Moody is in some way connected with
the professional duties Of Attorney
Moody and that any individual who has
employed him as an attorney holds him
under retainer as a SENATOR" The ar
ticle states the situation very succulently.
The seeming impression OF the writer
is that Moody has proven false the
the words OF the Divine book-'No man
can serve two masters" No sane man
but believes that Moody the attorney OF
today, ,'mustmore or less bias Moody the
senator Of tomorrow. And if thereverse
were true, is timber SO scarce in this
great state that the vast majority who
IRE opposed to the encroachments OF
corporations, must try the experiment.
