"The wicked men are not all in
the penitentiaries, they are in the
churches said the late Chief Justice
Chase. "Tl.e criminals as convict
are not wicked, they are simply
weak, in character and weak in in.
tellect. The men from whom sccie ~
suffers are the cold, selfish, caleb.
lating creatures, who not only keep
clear Of the courts, but seek the
churches and deceive oilers US they
deceive themselves and hope to de =.
ceive the Almi yhty."
The Devils Lake News must GER
tainly have had E. Ashley Mears in
mind when it quoted the foregoing,
for with the facts connected with tae
pretended gift of the Baptist church
ut Minot, (Which Mears with 40
much o>tentation points out to his
deluded eastern stockholders and
invest ors) coming to light, it will
readily be seen how E. Ashley
makes it pay to be a member of a
church indeed it is sail and we
a readily believe it, that he does
Not hesitate to say that he belongs
to the church for what b. a make
out Of il.
The church at Mlnot which he
built for the Baptists, cost about
$1,000 but in the way peculiarly his
own in the matter of mortgaging,
shows up over $4,000 which E. Ash.
ley Mesrs, alias the Bank Of Minot
figures out of this crooked and i'm.
pious transaction.
