of his regiment. But thanks to
the beneficent influence of our
prohibition law, North Dakota has
already begun to demand Of her
sons a higher standard of manhood
and our returning soldiers have
triumphantly maintained that STAN
dard, Notwithstanding the many
temptations to excess placed in
their way by false friends.
But we are proud not only of
our regiment, and Of our state-a
state which protects it's youth-we
are equally proud of our national
representatives, who, when repre-
sentatives Of other states were per-
chance guzzling in the congress
sinai bar-rooms, we're valiantly
fighting for the anti-canteen
amendment, and who at home
throw money and influence on the
side Of the protection Of our child
rem from the NAV Of the consum-
ing monster, drink. In our town
we have the spectacle of men mas
querading as patriots who are
leaving nc stone unturned to
render our prohibition law in
operative and to malign those who
endeavor to uphold it. We see
some of our townsmen shouting
themselves hoarse over Go. d
and at the same time placing every
possible obstruction in the way Of
those who would shield that great
army Of recruits for the battle of
boys, young and inexper-
fenced from those death traps, the
blind pigs! Citizens posing as
patriots and refusing to furnish
testimony which would close these
places, and officials elected to en-
force the law hindering instead of
helping! It is a significant fact
that the officials who are willing to
see our Jaws tramped upon, and
the sacred folds Of the American
flag draping blind-pig windows,
are merely adopted sons of our
republic-grafts Of the wild olive.
To the true American, Old Glory
is a sacred symbol baptized with
fire and blood, and our civilization,
our laws, our liberties are a price
less heritage, bought with the
nations best blood. To tho alien
who has not imbibed our patriot
ism, and who has failed to compre-
bend our civilization and what it
cost, the American flag is merely a
few yards Of bunting at so much
per yard, and our laws are of little
moment compared to a few votes.
Fellow citizens, these things ought
not so to be.

All the correspondents at Frisco
write in praising the soldiery bear
ing, gentlemanly department and
good conduct of the North Dakota
boys. But this item makes par
ents and friends sad-"only one
North Dakotan was seen the worse
for liquor in the entire regiment"
Isn't that dreadful? Why could
not that one man maintain the
honor Of the state?-Fargo Forum.
It was indeed a pity that this
one man could not have left liquor
alone, but we do not know how
bitter may have been his struggles,
how deep his subsequent remorse.
Only those who have been in the
tolls of this worse than Delphic
dragon can measure the futile
struggles, the agonizing prayers to
be free, Of every victim whose
manhood is not yet burned out by
alcohol.
We all rejoice over the high
type of manliners displayed by the
North Dakota regiment. AS long

NUMBER Al
COL. PEARRE AGAINST ROBERTS.

Provided That Individual is Practicing
Polygamy at the Present Time.
70 Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore SaIt, Congressman Geo.
A. Pearre, said recently:
Il may safely say that the senti-
ment of my district is unanimous
against allowing Representative Rob
erts, of Utah, to hold his seat if he is
found to be practicing polygamy at
the present time. OF course if the
charge is unfounded, then the people
of the Sixth do not want to prosecute
him, but if the charge is true the
people want him turned out of Con-
gress, as he should be. If the charge
is sustained / will certainly votes for
his expulsion. / have received hun
dreds of petitions from societies and
individuals, asking me to vote for his
expulsion. There is no difference Of
opinion between moral and immoral
men in such matter, for no matter
how immoral man may be he does
not make public spectacle of his i'm
morality, nor does he want others to
publish theirs. Flagrant violation of
any statute cannot be tolerated in
Roberts or any other member of Con-
gress, and if he has violated and is
violating the law he must be punished
by expulsion"
While Mr.. Pearre declined to discuss
Maryland politics, now that the cam
paign is over, he said the general re-
suit of the elction favored the Repub-
lican party. The Republican party
was never i'll such good shape as at
the present time. The prosperity of
the country is unprecedented. The
administration has been warmly sup
ported by the people on all its issues,
and the time intervening between
now and the election should strength
en- the party. | believe we will pass
a bill this winter declaring gold to be
the standard of value in the United
States. While this is a fact already
and really needs no Congressional ac
tion, | think the count will be bet
ter satisfied and the position of the
Republican party be strengthened by
such action. | am in favor of the
passage of such a bill and hope it
will be brought before the House.
While there continues this discussion
of gold standard and of expansion
they are both accomplished. We
have gold standard and we have
and / see no reason wiz
the Republican party should not ac-
knowledge both to be facts

sheir work S sake and their Masters
take; and these are doing all that
human friendship can do to impart
comfort. But God is the real com
forter, and surely not often haye Il
father and mother stood in deeper
need of the prayers of all who have
access to the Throne of Mercy.
Mr.. Lees children were a dear and
precious family, generous, kind and
helpful. One by one they had given
their hearts to God, and, as it seems
now by gracious Providence their
recent letters to their parents in Cal
cutta were inspired by a growing ex-
perience of their Heavenly Fathers
faithfulness.
The loss of native life has been
very great not only in Darjeeling, but
on the tea estates which cover the
lower hills for miles around. A very
we'll known village of 200 inhabitants
situated some distance below the
ho,1se- occupied by the Lee children,
.z~--yen overwhelmed Besides the
ten children mentioned, the only
Europeans are reported lost are three
gentlemen who were upset in a boat
crossing a stream. But the station
of Darjeeling is a wreck; houses, gar
dens and whole hillsides gone in all
directions; the roads are impossible:
the waterpipes and gaspipes torn out
of the earth and broken and the tele-
graph destroyed. The mountain rail
way, too, is preached in many places,
so that people cannot leave Darieel-
ing nor their friends in Calcutta go
up to them. The mails are being
sent by foOtrunners, by a way fifty
miles roundabout. News comes to
Calcutta slowly and irregularly, and
the relatives of the children at school
are in state of distraction. A tele-
gram just received says that, accord
ing to what Wilbur Lee said, when
the six children found that escape
was impossible, they were gathered
together to pray by the eldest girl
and were on their knees when the
house was swept down the declivity.
Another large girls school, the Dio-
cesan, was completely wrecked, but
the children were all rescued without
loss of life
The funeral of the five children
took place ons Tuesday morning and
was a very impressive scene. The
highest government officers at Dar-
| jeeling were present, and the process
sion was u mile long. Every eXertiOn
is being made to attend to the hun
| dreds of wounded natives.
