A Double Service.

A large retail store in Chicago has
placed Oh the inside OF all its doors, in
such positions as to be seen only by per-
sons going out, signs inscribed: Have
You Forgotten Anything?" Many a
customer sees this, thinks a moment,
and goes back TO make another pur-
chase. a well-put advertisement asks
the same question while answering
others, thus rendering a double service
which as often spares the purse as it
helps the tired memory.

therefore more competent to form an
unprejudiced and unbiased opinion.
The writer is not opposed to capital
punishment, by any mears He is not
in favor of turning blood. thirsty murder

murder cases the evidence where an ao.
cused person is convicted IS 80 clear that

may rest assured that justice has been
done. But that this is not go In the
Kent case can easily be ascertaiued by
any one who will take the trouble to
request opinions from the reading people
of almost any community on the Ms.
souri, Slope. There are great many
who do not believe that the evidence was
conclusive as to the prisoners guilt.
Notwithstanding the disposition Of the
editor Of the Bismarck Tribune to write
in facehous strain regarding the
Records opinion of the Kenrs juries.
the editor of this humble mouthpiece has
not amended that opinion in any way.
We still believe even without consider
ing Prot. Newmau's s admission of the fact
that, If the newspaper reports of the
evidence given were true, the jurymen IN
the Fargo trial acted as would lot
of chuckle- headed idiots. and that the
like of them should not be called to take
in their charge the life of cat, let alone
a human being.
The writer has no prejudice whatever
IN the matter. He doesn't know Kent.
He doesn't want to know HIM. But be
believee foul wrong has been done IN
the conviction of man without evidence
connecting him with the crime, and with
no motive shown. The language as to
the jurymen may be little uncouth; but
we believe it is justifiable. We do not
claim to be as skillful as the editor OF
the Tribune in Disgusting our opinions
as to public matters. We believe it is
the province OF a newspaper to have
opinions and to express them. There
are certainly many who believe Kent
guilty, and there are many more that do
not believe him guilty. But what the
editor of the Bismarck Tribune believes
In this matter-or in most other m alters

Look again. Mr.. P. D. The Record

two stores and hotel IN town, and the
Record has ads from two OF the three.
Wllliamsport is this kini Of place, Mr..
P. D.: 1t ls in the midst of pretty
well settled country, several hundred
people living within few miles of town;
good farm buildings, etc. But eve
no railroad in the county, and conse-
quently no towns or villages of any size.
The county is large. and good share of
the people in the northern and western
parts deal in Bismarck, as they sell Or
ship most of their produce there. Hence,
there is always fair line of Bismarck
advertising in the Record. The county
has about 5000 people, which ism t bad
for section so far from the railroad. It
is second only to Morton in number of
sheep, and second only by thousand or
so. 1t has an intelligent lot of people,
and there are but few English
families therein who are not subscribers
to the Record. In this county, instead
of trying to raise large acreage of cheap
wheat, of late years nearly every settler
has turned his attention to stock, and
there are not many who don't have few
steers or some wethers and wool, some
hogs or. some butter and eggs to sell
every year. This is county where not
spear of hay is fed to stock horses al
any season of the year, such animals
keeping in good condition on the prairie
grass the year around--snow or no snow.
This is a county where at the present
time cattle and sheep are getting their
entire living on the prairie, and where
the feeding Of hay is regulated entirely
by the snowfall. 1t Is a county where
the mercury shows milder winter
climate and earlier and later seasons
than in Grand Forks. 1t Is a county
that, when we get railroad, will be q
very pleasant place to live in; and that
will contain two or three villages Of
several hundred each. Billsport and the
other Clowns aren'tmuch; but there are
no flies on the free and independent
borough of Emmons, as whole. Yes
