A BLOW AT PROHIBITION.

Every real prohibitionist cannot but
regret the disclosures made at the trial
of Mr.. Lindelie, the secretary of the en-
torcenent league, at Grand Forks last
week.
MIR. Lindelie admits taking money from
different persons who had been engaged
in the s4le of liquor unlawfully. Mr..
Lindelie claims that some of this money
was returned to the givers, and the bal
ance applied to the expenses of the
league and that none was used by him
self personally. We may admit MIR LIS
personal probity, we may admit that it
was only fair that the lawbreakers should
assist in paying the expenses of the
league in getting evidence, and still the
very fact that it has been possible to in
dict Mr.. Lindelie, and to make him ad-
init on the witness stand the receipt of
the "devil's money"-in itself proves
that MIR. L had much better depended on
voluntary contributions from friends.
The moral effect ON that very large
middle class, whose views on prohibition
are not very clear cut, will undoubtedly
be to influence them to vote for resub-
mission if they have the opportunity in
the near future.
While as matter of fact the work OF
the enforcement league or its agents,
have nothing whatever to do with the
principles underlying the question Of
prohibition, yet just as the sins of a
clergyman are made to reflect and in.
jure the Christian religion, so will Mr.
Lindelie's indiscretions, to call them by
no lighter name, imure the cause Of prohi.
bition in North Dakota
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1900-12-28

be surpassed by our present coast mar
inc, both IN tonnage and efficiency. In
land commerce at that time was exceed
ingly small in amount, while at present
it affords labor, and is the source OF rev.
enue for large portion of the people.
We have grown from wilderness to a
commercial nation.
There has also been marked change
in the world politically. At that time
the governments OF the world were most
ly oligarchies, but since then we have
noticed continuous change from this
corrupted form of aristocracy to an aris-
tarchy. We have seen the straight up
ward growth Of freedom, and the gen
eral call for government by the people
for the people.
The Improvements socially have prob
ably been the most noticeable. In our
grandfather's day, the fireplace was the
stove, tallow dips and pine knots took
the place of the modern lamp, the flint
and steel sufficed for matches, oiled
paper was used instead of glass, the lux
uries of the modern home were. then un-
known, the house of the rich man was
not so comfortable as the poor mans
cottage of to-day. The increase in pop
ulation was followed by an increase i'll
demand for schools, and this increase in
turn created a demand for higher edu.
cation, and led to the founding of col
leges. The educational facilities of the
United States are unexcelled, and we
have the highest moral standard ofliving.
We have noticed the developement ot
our vast coal fields, the value of this fuel
in making steam, ,andthe utilization OF the
steam in generating electricity, an ele-
ment of which we know so little and ex.
pect so much. We are on the beginning
OF an electrical era, and before another
century dawns we expect to see the re.
lation between heat, light and electricity
clearly defined.

THE IMPROVEMENTS OF A
CENTURY.

We are on the eve of new century.
The great wave of prosperity has swept
i, this country from shore to shore, and
; left happiness and contentment in the
homes of thousands. Discovery and in
vention have made this country their
home, and made us great nation mod.
ern in every respect.
One hundred years ago, we were a
new born country. Our people were
suffering from the effects of a grrat war.
Our government was unstable. Our
boundaries were unfxed. Our relations
with the foreign powers were unsettled.
In fact, our future was uncertain. Our
knowledge of the sciences was limited.
Steam and electricity we're as yet in
their infancy. Railway trains, steam
ships, and the telegraph were unknown.
The old stage coach was the only means
of transportation inland, while the slow
sailing vessels suficed for the sea. A
letter mailed in the northern states to
someone in the south was weeks in
reaching its destination. By the aid of
a rude plow, the land was prepared for
seed, while the fail, scythe and sickle
were the implements for harvesting.
Engines and great machinery were un-
heard Of. To-day, our people are as
one, upholding the greatest nation in
the world. Our knowledge of the
sciences is unlimited. Steam and elec-
tricity are in our power. BY the aid of
Dssdern ingenuity and invention we have
been able to grid the earth with ribs of
steel and string it with lines OF electric
wires. Fast trains and steamships are
the new means of transportation which
carry people at remarkable rate Of
speed. Our postal service is rapid and
perfect, while the telephone, telegraph
and ocean cable carry the immediate
news around the world in a moments
time. The Improvements in farm ma
chinery have simplifed. farming and
made us the leading agricultural nation.
improved engines and patents have
made us one Of the greatest manufacture
ing countries. Our railways have set
tied up the undeveloped west, and
brought our people into closer relations
with one another; they have developed
our vast coal fields and given employ
ment to thousands Of !aborers. The j
discovery ot steam and electricity has
industry. Il

THE PHILIPPINE REBELLION

A few months ago there might have
been question as to the desires of the
people of this country as to the rebellion
in the Philippines. The ection is over
and that question which was one of the
paramount issues was decided by an
overwhelming vote in favor of at least
the present retention of those islands,
and consequently the putting down OF
the rebellion there and bringing peace to
those unhappy isles.
1t is also safe to assume that a verv
large number of those who believed and
voted against this policy, now that they
are convinced that the majority is against
them, are now of the opinion that if it
must be done 'twere we'll done quickly.
Mercy, justice, everything points to this
fact. We do not want, we do not need
to duplicate our Indian policy with the
Philippines For nearly hundred years
the United States fooled with the Indians.
A few thousand white soldiers, a hun
dred here and hundred there, scattered
over thousands of miles of wilderness,
attempted the task of keeping in order
and peace ten times their numbers OF
savage and treacherous Indians, with the
result of an Indian outbreak every few
months with the attended atrocities. All
that was necessary to keep these Indians
down was more soldiers.
The people of the Philippines are not
savages, and are much more susceptible
of control than Indians, but they must, or
at least certain portion of them must,
be controlled for the time by force Of
arms.
The spectacle of a boy of IL or IA
making anything like an equal fight with
a grown man is only explainable in one
way. The man is not exerting his
strength. The United States is strong
enough to make practically perfect peace
full conditions in Luzon and other islands
of the group inside Of the next six
months. If necessary an army OF 200, 600
men could be landed there inside of that
time, and while we do not believe that
so large force is necessary there, yet
we believe the quickest way, the cheap
est way in blood and money is to send
enough soldiers to the Philippines to
convince the people there that we mean
business. that opposition is useless and
that we propose to completely protect
those Of the natives who are with us and
to punish those who are against us.
This was General Grants policy which
crushed the rebellion. When he took
command he saw that at that time the
north was stronger than the south. He
massed the strength of the north and
then started fighting without pause until
he had the south whipped through sheer
fatigue, and the military problem in the
Philippines is very much simpler. Con.
gress should vote funds and soldiers. All
long drawn out war costs more money
and kills more men than short fight, no
matter how fierce and sanguinary it may
appear.
