When Gods dear justice is revealed
The kingdom that the Father planned
His children all will equal stand
As flowers in the field.
There each one has goodly space
Each yeoman of the fowery race;
Each has a fcothold on the earth,
4 place for business and for mirth.
no privilege bars flowers access
10 earth's whole store of preciousnessi
The flowers stand level on Gods floor
With equal nearness to his store.
And flowers, they have no private ends,
But stand together as close friends;
Whey send their beauty on all things
An equal gift to clowns and kingA
They worry not, there Is enough
laid by for them Of Gods good stuff
Enough for all, and 30 no fear
Sends boding on their blameless cheer.
This noble blessedness can be
In Kingdoms Of equality.
10 from the field comes curious news,
That each one takes what 1t can use
fakes what its lifted cup can hold
OF slyey rain and beamy gold,
And all give back, with pleasure high,
Their riches to the sun and sky.
Yes, since the first star they have stood
A testament Of brotherhood.

DAKOTA REPUBLICAN INSURANCE
COMMISSIONER CHARGED WITH
GROSS NEPOTISM
WILL REACT ON THE PARTY
Said That His Appointees Have Been

Companies without War

GRAND FORKS, N. D., Aug. ga
sensation has been caused by the ex-
posure in an Eastern insurance journal OF
the methods of the insurance department
of North Dakota. According to this ar
ticle, Insurance Commissioner Harrison
has appointed his brother and three
other travelling examiners, and authorized
them to make examinations of the af-
fairs of various Eastern companies. The
companies visited are among the fore
most in the country. The examinations
are unnecessary, and farce even If they
were necessary, and the charges are ex-
orbitant. The Travellers, of Hartford,
Conn.,, was asked to pay $3.50 for few
hours inspection Of It's books by Harri-
sons brother, and actually paid $3.50.
Marked copies of the paper containing
these charges were received here today,
and business men are Indignant The
matter has caused a commotion at Re-
publican headquarters, as the action of
Harrison tends to the injury of the Re-
publican ticket. Harrison was renominat-
ed, but unless he is promptly repudiated
his associates in Office will suffer- Gov
Fancher was wired today by the commit
tee and urged to take prompt measures
to call Harrison off. No such scandal has
ever been made public in connection with
any state office in North Dakota.

may have thought the shots came from
some other quarter. Anyway, they did not
moest US further. And their Indifference
to the fate of their comrades was very
strange. But that is characteristic of the
Chinese character. They care nothing
much about anything except the graves
of their ancestors.
'It is some comfort to me, although
acted in self-defense, to know that sew

town the next morning. The comfort is
in the fact that do not know for an abb

SMASH=UP AT TIE DEPOT
ENGINE CRASHES INTO AND
SMASHED A PASSENGER CAR.


An open swithch at the south end Of
the depot yards caused the wrecking Of a
Great Western passenger coach by MIL
waukee engine, and came nearly precipi
tating more serious wreck.
IT was at about $50 when the South st.
Paul motor train was leaving the union
depot and the Milwaukee passenger was
coming. Neither train was running at
full speed, and this may have had some
thing to do with the slight degree Of
damage that was caused. The engine
struck the car deTnolishing one side al
most completely and derailing, but not
capsizing 1t. Fortunately there was no
one hurt by the accident.
The motor train had been divided
through an error, and part was on one
track and part on another. The passen-
gers were in the section that remained
on the other track.
