North Dakota's Young Editor.

Roy T. Porter of the Hunter Her.
aid is probably the youngest editor
of the state and until within very
short time he has been advocating
free silver. Mr.. Porter is a careful
student, and takes great deal of
pains to keep himself thoroughly in.
formed on the important issues of
the day. To the Fargo Argus he
gives the following reasons for sup.
porting Mckinley and Hobart.
Eyes, it is true that am support.
ing Mckinley and sound money!" he
said in answer to the newspaper
mans question.
"Why have I changed! Well, there
are some good reasons and one is
that for the last two or three months
l have gone into matters very deep.
ly, and after viewing all sides in a
very comprehensive manner, I have
come to the conclusion that to have
free coinage Of silver by this coun.
try, independent of any other nation,
would mean ruin and disaster, and a
panic that would be worse than any
other we have ever experienced.
The reason for this is very plain. In
the first place, we will draw a con.
cluslon from the two countries, Eng.
land and the United States. In spite
OF all that the Bryan howlers may
shout abont England owning us, we
must see what the cause Of it is.
One writer says that England
can never get out of debt. This
is not true. England does not
owe one penny; perhaps you are sur.
prised at this, but it is a fact. What
Is country. anyway? It is nothing
but the people, you and l. In Eng.
gland the so.called debt is owned by
the citizens, merchants Of that coun.
try. Her consols are owned by the
people and are drawing from two to
three per cent. If anything should
happen to her, her own people will
come to the rescue. Then the peo.
pie own the government.
And the United States bonds are
owned by all kinds of people. Ger.
mans, Englishmen, Hollanders and
others. We cannot therefore have q
system of finance different from all
other nations. If we do so the hold.
ers Of these bonds will throw them
on the market, which in the order of
things, would mean panic.
Despite all that we may say or do,
the link between all the powerful
countries In this age is very strong.
1t is not like it was hundred years
or even fifty years ago. Today inter.
course between nations is tremen
dous. To cut ourselves loose, and de
clare that we are the world, and can
get along without the rest of the
world is all poppy cock. The United
States is composed of all classes of
people, as I have stated before
and these people are continually com
ing and going and trade is doing the
same. To declare that we can have
a system of finance different from all
the rest of the world, in the light OF
all this is pure fooIishness. While
believe that free coinage of silver j:
what is needed in the world. yet tt
rush violently into the thing with
out first getting adjusted is ruin and
disaster.

longing to the defendant and driven by
one of his employees collided with the
one in which she was riding and over

CATHERINE sMYTHE's CASE.
Represented as Child to Facilitate Her
Commitment.

About one year ago young girl named
Catherine Smythe was sent to Whittier
as an incorrigible. That may mean any
thing or nothing. In the present case.
however, the reason for commitment
cuts no figure. But certain of the other
representations made do.
1t was stated that the girl was II years
Of age, and that Is the age that appeared
on the commitment. Yesterday Mrs. F.
B. Knowlton, sister Of Catherine
Smythe, a very nice appearing lady, who
resides in the porthern part Of the state,
made application in Judge York's de-
partment that her sister be released
from the Reform school. It was shown
that the young girl is now over 18 years
Of age, and consequently some tall lying
must have been done year ago for the
purpose of facilitating the confinement
Of the girl accused of being incorrigible.

RECKLESS FOR MONEY.
T. Thwaite Weaves Story for SIS That
May Cost Him Liberty.

A complaint was yesterday drawn up
by Assistant District Attorney WILL
Jams on the representations Of M. C.
Meiklejohn, who charges Thomas
Thwaite with obtaining money under
false pretenses.
1t appeared that on the first of the
month Thwaite went to Meiklejohn and
represented to him that he was in the
employ of Bush Davis, the contractor,
and that there was then coming to him
SIS. Believing what he said to be true,
Meiklejohn took his order for SIS on his
employer and advanced the money.
Next day he had cause to regret his ac-
ton for he found out that Thwaite had
woven a nice little fairy story for his
own especial benefit and the denuding Of
Meiklejohn's cash drawer.
