DARK DAYS

The ny Is wet and gloomy,
No peep from he suns bright raw
Let your heart be more than cheerful,
1t will brighten up the day.
We shOuld not ask for the sun always
The morrow may be very bright
From beh nd the darkest clouds
Comes the sweetest and brightest
light.
1t matters not what the day may be
We know is is Gods own way
Our lives, like flowers, are maze the
sweeter,
BY the showers of one dark day.
And now may He help us,
Every day, yes every hour.
To throw our light out to others,
In the darKness Of each shower.

CHAs. A. BURk, formerly Of Phil

Invested his money to get quick re-
turns. He lost and then began to
drink. In a short time he found
all his fortune had slipped through

of the managers thought S. or $40
would be enough to invest for a
streamer. Some Of the bosses got
the idea that Devils Lake was sure

Publishers Organize.

The publishers of North Dakota
met in Fargo last Tuesday and
organized the North Dakota Pub
fishers association by the election
of the following officers.
Presidents. j. Small, Devils
Lake.
Vice Presidents-Franklin Pot
ter, Casselton; Ed. A. Smith,
Cakes; w. W. Tousley. Hillsboro.
Secretary-P. 81. Short, Devils
Lake.
Executive Committee-Fred Fal-
ley, Wahpeton; E. b. Kent, La
kota; w. G. Taylor, LaMoure.
The matter of rates for foreign
advertising was discussed at length,
but the subject was finally referred
to the officers Of the association
and a special committee for final
action. The president appointed
as such special committee five
publishers who print their papers
all at home and five who use ready
prints, as follows:
Home Prints--S. A. Nye, M. HI.
Morrill,, P. O. Thorson, Grant S.
Hager, Franklin Potter.
Ready Prints-C. l.. Lindstrom,
w. Irysh, M. De la Bere, A..
Schmidt and w. A. Stickley.
This committee will meet with
the executive committee at a date
and place to be named later and
will assist in establishing a rate
for all foreign advertising that will
be satisfactory to all the publish
ers and the general advertiser.
At the close of the business ses-
sion President Small turned the
meeting over to President Kent,
of the North Dakota Editorial as
ISOLATION. who called the boys to
order. He stated that the San
Francisco papers were making the
claim that a large majority of the
papers of this state opposed the
pardon of Alex Mckenzie and he
believed that the association
should take some step to refute
the false assertion. Mr.. Jewell
moved that a committee consisting
of Kent, Wardwell and Small be
appointed to draft a telegram to
the San Francisco papers, which
motion prevailed and the follow
ing was given to the associated
press representative:
Understanding that the press
of San Francisco have published
a statement to the effect that a
large proportion of the newspapers
of North Dakota oppose the par
don Of Hon. Alex Mckenzie, we,
the members of the North Dakota
Press Association. in session this
day in Fargo, N. D., in justice to
Mr.. Mckenzie and to the press of
North Dakota unanimously and
explicitly deny the statement re-
ferred to and would further testify
that the opposite is true, to-wit:
That a large proportion of the
papers favor his pardon.
(Signed.) E. II. KENT.
