ing army officers who strongly
urged the doing away with the
canteen. At the close of his able
argument Mr.. Hansbrough said.
Mr.. President, it seems to me that the pro-
tests against this proposed liquor legislation,
the respectful protests that are made by
hundreds Of thousands of good people in this
country, are deserving of some consideration,
and that the dignifed petitions of numerous
temperance organizations should be needed
here and now.
We should not turn, a deaf ear to the prayer
full supplications of the parents of the young
men who are serving in the Army of the
United States, especially to the mothers of
those boys. Whatever we may think of the
private individual who engages in the liquor
business, who opens a saloon and sells these
poisonous connections to his fellow-men, I
think there can be but one mind as to whether
it is morally right for the Government of the
United States to engage in the saloon business.
So, Mr.. President, it seems to mo that at the
beginning of this the twentieth, century the
American Congress can honor itself and add
now glory to our Republican institutions by
wiping out the official saloon. For these rea-
sons I hope, Mr.. President, that the amendment
reported by the Committee on Military Affairs
will be defeated.
To The Forum: The following
letter received from Edwin @.
Dinwiddie, legislative superinten-
dent of the American Anti-Saloon
League, speaks of the action of
our representatives in Washington
upon the canteen question. No
doubt it will prove of interest to
the people generally, and we can
not fail to congratulate ourselves
and the nation as we'll upon being
so ably represented in congress.
Yours respectfully,
CHAs. A. POLLOCK.
Office of the American Anti
Saloon League, Washington, D.
c., Jan. 12.-Hon. Chas. A. Pol
lock, Fargo, N. D.-My Dear Sir
and Friend: I know you will be
pleased to learn of the conspicuous
and forceful part which North Da-
kota had in the great victory in
the senate on Wednesday last,
when the anti-canteen amendment
to the armybill was passed. Both
of the senators from your state
made effective and telling speeches
in behalf of the amendment and to
Senator Hansbrough was CON-
mitted the practical leadership Of
the fight in the body and to say
that it was a magnificent leader
ship is almost s%uperduous, when
we remember that those of us who
we're on the ground few days be-
fore the vote was taken, had hardly
expected to win in the senate and
we're laying our plans to get the
house to insist upon it's amendment
when the bill went to conference.
I think the good people of North
Dakota should know these facts,
for I think that in our ight.it is as
essential to stand by good and
trustworthy men such as you have
in the national congress from
North Dakota, as it is to turn
down bad and unsafe ones.
With assurances of high regard
and best wishes, lam very sincerely
yours,
EDWIN G. D1Nw1DD1E,
Legis. Supt. Amer. A. S. L.

FRIDAY, JAN. 18. 1901.
AN VI FIELD.

AN LIN vlIlN FlElLDs
The coming spring will bring
another influx Of settlers into the
state. Last year there was a large
addition to the population as a
result of immigration and the in
dications are that the increase will
be nearly, if not equally, great in
1901. And what is of marked i'm
portance is the fact that there will
be a. perceptible improvement in
the class of settlers as a whole who
will come this year. A large per-
centage of them will have means
with which to begin life in the
state and will not have to exc out
apainful and impoverished exis-
tence for two or three years while
getting a start. This is a great
advantage, as many an old settler
who has had experience, can tell
you.
It is the latter class of immi-
grants particularly who ought to
be induced to come to the Devils
Lake district, not only because
such will be a desirable addition
to our population, but because
nowhere IN the northwest can they
find opportunities more favorable
to themselves. Here are agricul-
tural lands as rich as any in the
state, and yet farms can be bought
cheap and OF easy terms of pay
ment.
Then there is another side of the
question hat is well worth look
ing at carefully. Here are good
schools and churches, sympathetic
neighbors and all the advantages
of social and commercial life that
belong TO an established and pro-
gressive community. These are
things that ought to have great
weight with every thoughtful man
and woman who come to North
Dakota in search of a permanent
home.
The time has passed in the east
when the farmer there can hope to
provide each of his grown sons
with a home. Land has grown
too valuable to enable him to dc
this and the boys must either shift
for themselves in the villages and
cities, or else come to the north.
west where they can procure farms
Of their own. Many are adopting
the latter course, and the influx O:
such into North Dakota during
the next few years will be very
great. They will bring with them
in many instances, sufficient money
to enable them to get a good start
and it is this class of immigrants
above all others who will fine
grand opportunities in this dis
trict., Let them come direct t.
Devils Lake and make their wishes
known and they will receive al

Another Try For a Railroad Conn
mission Has Been Made BY
Joint Committee.

Olympia, Wash, Feb. 26.-The anti.
railroad forces won a temporary victory
IN the house this afternoon. 4 motion
to indefinitely postpone the Puckett
passenger rate bill failed by vote of 26
to 80. Mr.. Merritt of Spokane. the
democratic leader, missed the vote He
was brought into the house on the call
OF the house, but was in an anteroom
when the vote was taken.
The vote on the motion to indefinitely
postpone does not correctly interpret
the sentiments of the members. for there
were several men opposed to the bill
who disllked the method Of killing the
measure.
The measure is directed principally at
the Spokane Falls & Northern, but il
would hit a number of smaller lines
throughout the state, notably in west
ern Washington.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 23.-The Southern

we're given their first taste OF winter last
night and this morning, snow falling in
many places, from Charleston, 5. c.,
throughout Northern and Central Texas,
and almost the entire gulf region. The
storm is central today over Northern
Florida, where snow is expected during
the next II hours.
The heaviest snowfall is reported at
La Grange, Ga, where the precipitation
was ten inches. LOnthern, Mississippi,
reports the first snow in two years at
some places.
The precipitation at Dallas is three
inches and in Northwestern Texas from
three to five inches. The snow is, of
course, of great benefit to the growing
wheat, but it is feared will cause severe

all of whom live in Kentucky. and TO a

These are a good illustration of the
pensioners all over the country. But two
Of them get 500 month They are the
venerable Gen. S. w. Price and the widow
of Gen. Walter c. Whitaker, both of
whom were deservedly pensioned to that
amount by special acts of Congress. Both
Gems. Price and Whitaker rendered serv-
ices of priceless worth to the country in
holding Kentucky in the Union, and then
raised regiments and led them valiantly
in the field. Gen. Whitaker organized the
9th Ky. and commanded it until promoted
to BrigadierGeneral. He was brevetted
Major-General for special gallantry. Gen
Price organized the 21st KY, and was
brevetted a Brigadier-Ge for special
gallantry at Kenesaw Mountain. where he
carried Il strong position, and held it
against greatly superior numbers until re-
infOrced.

rible disability which requires the regular
aid and attendance Of another person.
To think Of all the terrible fighting that
Kentucky troops did, and yet but 80 of
them survive who received wounds which
entitle them to ST2 a month

The list has been scrutinized thousands of
times by hostile eyes to find some fraud"
some reason for their not drawing their

a sensation, Special Examiners anxious
to make a record in the Pension Bureau,
envious and malignant men who hate
Union soldiers on general principles, have
time and again scanned the list to find
some flaw in it, and all without success.
But this did not abate their clamor that

Yet the hig pension list is just as unas-
