Fargo, N. d., Nov. 30.-Presi.
dent j j. Hill succeeded, Nix years
ago, IN dispossessing Major Ed.
wards Of the Fargo Argus, pub
lishcd prior to that time by the
major. After being turned out in
tn, cold, the big editor and Mr..
Pun Icy started the Forum. Mt
urally, they have never e>poused
Mr.. Hills cause, aud recently they
have been publishing a series of
articles, comparing the Great
Northern freight rates with those
charged by other roads and ii,
other states. The comparisons
haye not been very Aattering tc
MIR. Hills road, and are said to
have caused the management some
Indignation and worry. Senator
Haggart Of Fargo is credited with
a plan to help Mr.. Hill out. It is
to have the Great Northern run
passenger trains from Ancta, Hope
aud Mayville iuto Fargo. These
trains would have to use the
Northern Pacific tracks from Gas
>elton, and at a consultation held
in St. Paul last week it is said M
Hill assured the senator and Mayor
Johnson Of Fargo that he could
easily secu, the Northern Pacific
consent. and would run the pro-
posed trains to Fargo Tor the bene'
fit of Fargo merchants, provided
the Fargo merchants would with
draw their patronage from the
Forum, Major Edwards paper,
and all other papers publishing an.
tagonistic articles to his road. He
seemed to think the expense in.
Cured in running extra trains to
Fargo would be well spent if il
succeeded in represslng the articles
and boycottlng tho Forum.

BOB. DUNN SUES PARADlS

BOB. DUNN SUES PARADlS,
Minneapolis Journal: The
trouble between R. G. Dunn,
editor OF the Princeton Union and
state auditor, and g. A. P.radis,
editor of the Midway News, is to
be aired in the courts. Mr.. Dunn
has retained Pierce Butler, the ex.
county attorney Of Ramsey
county, who, as soon as he is
through with his defense of the
Bickel case, will bring suit against
Paradis in Dunn's name, for libel
The suit will be pressed to as
early trial as possible.
The Midway News several
months ago began a crusade
against Dunn, accusing him in
general terms cf gross Irregular
ties in office and Of frauds upon
the people of the state in the sale
of pine lands. The lnnuendo and
indirectlon of good many of the
news articles were particularly
e1asperatlng to Mr.. Dunn, who
says that he now intends that his
assailants may be made to partic.
ularize. At first little attention
was paid to the News articles,
but they came so thick and fas:
week after week, that at last
several weekly papers over the
state, friendly to Dunn, undertook
to reply to them, and made the
matter worse than it already
was by the ill temper and lack of
judgment which they disclosed.
Finally Mr.. Dunn's own paper in
Princeton took up the cudgels and
paid It's respects to Paradis in very
strong language. And now comes
the suit for libel.
The newspaper war between these
two well-known editors is by all
odds the hottest that this state
has witnessed for a NUMBER of
years. Dunn insists that in bring
ing his suit he is fighting for his
reputation. He has been assailed
unjustly, he says, and only
through suit can he set himself
right with the public. He prom.
Uses that every opportunity will be
offered the defense to introduce
records and any other testimony
it may have and that the matter
shall be probed to the bottom.
This is said to be the first time
in the history of the state when a
state official has gone into the
courts by way of defense against
new spaper criticism.

Germany may crush the United
States; the way the emperor has
threatened to crush Norway, and
boasts Of crushing Greece. The
United States has informed the
Germ IN government that this
country cannot allow the too Sc
we're punishment of Hayti, over
the present trouble between those
countries. In supporting the
"Monroe Doctrine" this nation
must protect Hayti from conquest
by Germany or any other European
country. German newspapers have
made good deal of sport Of the
Monroe Doctrine, and ridiculed
England for allowing the United
States to interfere in England's
dispute with Venezuela. Now
Germany may have chance to
show just how much regard she
has for the Monroe Doctrine.
