Entered at the Postohice in Bottineau, N.
Oak. as Second-class Matter

On our local page appears this week
a communication from lady who
signs herself "a member of the w.
c. T. U," in which a very severe
castigation is administered to the edi-
tor Of this paper. The cause of this at
tack was an innocent little editorial
which appeared in last weeks PIONEER
which reads as follows:

time "resolving" than to get down to active
business.
1t will be seen at once that our ref
erence was to the National and state
". &. T. U. rather than the local
union, although the later seems to
have felt the pinch of the shoe. Our
allusion was to the we'll known ardent
desire of the National organization
for voice in politics, and it seems to
us that a really fair minded person
would have so understood it. Our
correspondent certainly knows that the
national society long ago declared for
an active part in politics, and but the
other day its president declared in a
public speech that she was actively in
politics, and with her the entire
organization. Now, the moment this
society enters the political field, that
moment it becomes just as much an
object of criticism as any other politi-
cal organization, nor did we step out
side the limit of courtesy or truth in
our article. In its capacity as a
moral force, we honor the W. G. T. U.
above any other society outside the
church. 1t has done and is still
doing a mighty work for the whole
race. With the Word of God their
guide and Ills Spirit to supply the
motive, they went out into the world
to help redeem it from the CALLING
yoke of uncleanness-and they &C.
complished much. Now, however,
the clay has mingled with the iron.
Desire for power and thirst for politi-
cal preferment has taken hold on the
leaders and the result is disastrous to
the work of the organization. That
our remarks reflected in the slightest
degree on the local union, seems too
silly to think that anyone could re-
ally entertain the idea, even for /:
moment, still we deem it we'll to ex-

HIS aWEET REVENGE.
Kicked Out When = Boy, He Lived 70 Re-
nay tho O6ender.

Kicked Out when = Boy, He Lived 20 Re-
pay tho Onender.
A story with moral is told me by q
friend from Bloomington, Ind That
pretty little university town numbers
among its notabilities not only the COL
lege professors, but another professor
also, whose accomplishment lies not in
the direction Of human education. I
mean genial Henry Gentry, known
wherever there are little and big chill
dren, who like to see his performing dogs
and ponies. Professor Gentry was very
poor boy. which was no dishonor, but
still much against him in the race of
Life. During the last few years he has
made fortune. am afraid to say how
much, but it must be up in the hundred
thousands. Ten years ago he was still
struggling to make a living for himself
and his parents, and very often it was
hard enough. And thereby hangs my
tale. 80
Every one knows how difficult It was
for business men to keep heads above
water during the hard times and what
a serious matter 1t was to obtain money,
but Gentry had plenty Of it all through
and is said to have helped more than
one man over the stepping stones.
One day very prominent business
man Of his own was caught short and
needed S., 600 to sec him through. He
had property and values, but no money.
He went to the bank and asked for q
loan, but was suavely told that the bank
had it not Just as the conversation
was going ON Henry Gentry happened
opass the bank, and the banker remark
ed, "There's only one man in town who
has that much cash, and maybe he'll
lend it to you" He pointed to Gentry.
The business man took the hint, step
ped out Of tho bank, caught up with
Gentry, and after very complimentary
talk on his success broaohed his request
Gentry turned full upon him and re-
piled: "Oh, yes, have $6, 900; more
too, but do you remember barefoot lad
who came into your store at one time
trying to buy a pair Of shoes on trust?
Do you remember how you kicked him
almost out of your store? Well, was
that boy. No, you can't have no money
from mel" Maybe it was not very
Christian, but it must have been awful
