HENRY 6. WICK

Henry G. Wick, the republican nom-
inee for states attorney Of Pembina
county, is native of Minnesota, but
came to this state at such an early age
that he is practically aproduct of North
Dakota. His early life was spent on a
farm near Dundee in Walsh county
where he gained the rudiments of an ed
ucation. Later he attended the Grafton
high school and in 1889 entered the Uni
versity of North Dakota, from which in
stitution he graduated in 1898. For a
year he taught school, but in 1894 re-
signed the superintendency of the Park
River schools to accept scholarship at
Columbia University, which was won by
his excellent scholarship at the State
University. He earned the degree of
Master of Arts at Columbia and in 1895
went to Germany and studied at the
University of Gottingen. Returning to
the United States he did post graduate
work at both Columbia and Yale and
was admitted to the bar in 1898. While
at the State University Mr.. Wick devel-
oped oratorical talents of high order
and was selected as class orator in 1893.
In 1895 he represented Columbia at the
Washington birthday celebration given
by the Union League Club of Chicago,
to which ten of the leading universities

representatives, and at which President
Roosevelt wds the principal speaker.
In the campaigns of 1896 and 1900 Mr..
V'ck stulnped the st 'te for the republi-
CAN party and WAS in demand by The COM
mittees of various counties. Two years
ago he was the nominee of the Republi-
can State Committee for presidential
elector, an honor which came to him un-
sought and as a perfect Surprise. For
the past four years MIR. Wick has practiced
law in Pembina county. being associated
with States Attorney Burke at Bathgate
until August of 1901 when he removed to
St. Thomas. He is familiar with the
duties OF the office of states attorney
and may be depended upon to discharge
the duties of the office with fidelity,
ability and fearlessness. Asa man MIR.
Wick is honorable, conscientious and
kindly. His word in business trans
action is, accepted without question
wherever he is known. The editor of
the Times has known Mr.. Wick for sever
al years and considers him man of ex-
ceptional attainments aud one who will
have the ambition to discharge the
duties of states attorney to- the best o

President Roosevelt is the recipient of

of the coal strike. Politically speaking.
it was a ticklish job and might easily
have brought him more chagrin than
honor. We have an idea that the pres
sure that the president brought to bear
on the operators and owners was much
stronger than has been known to the
general public. We believe that the op-
orators never consented to arbitration
until they became satisfied that if they
did not operate the mines that the gov
ernment would take them by force and
operate them. i,
In this connection, President Mitchell
of the mine-workers' union, has also
proved himself a splendid leader Of men.
He has carefully avoided the rock on
which so many strikes have been wreck
ed. He kept his men on the right side
ofthe law. This was no easy matter.
There were thousands Of angry, ig-
norant and hungry men, but there have
only been incidental cases of anything
like riot or law-breaking. He further
got the operators in the position of re-
fusing to arbitrate, while he and his un-
ion were willing to arbitrate which po-
sition, of course, appealed to the sympa-
thy OF the general public.
The strike.has done much to advance
the matter of arbitration, md it is quite
certain that congress will give large
part OF its attention at ithe :,rning ses-
sion, in sowing plan for compulsory
arbitration.

same, however, if there were. He was
accorded a unanimous election two years

desires to-if not longer.

"know the ropes" and will know where
to begin right at the start. Mr.. George
A. McCrea, OF Drayton, is one of the
pioneers and has grown up from boy
in the village OF Drayton. He has been
a successful and popular business man,
first in the hardware business and later
as cashier of the First National Bank of
Drayton, an institution ranking among
the first OF our financial centres of the
country, Mr.. McCrea has always heen
active in local matters of civic and .po-
litical nature, and has occupied many
minor official positions, including Office
of mayor. Mr.. McCrea is safe man,
energetic but conservative, and one
whose integrity and honor has never
been questioned.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The coming legislature is important
for two especial reasons. One, the cleo
ton of senator to succeed Senator
Hansbrough, and the other, because the
question of resubmission of the prohibi-
! ton law has been made a political issue
/ by the democratic party.
Because of these two reasons it is of
much importance to this county to send
to the state legislature solid delegation
of republicans.
Allowing that the gentlemen nominat-
ed on either ticket in this county are eq-
'da1 ii ability and character, there are
differences of political aud partisan
nature which throw the.weight of power
and efficiency in the legislature with the
republican nominees.
In the election of Legislators, there is no
doubt of large majority Of republican
senators and representatives. The dem
ocratic minority will have practically
nothing to do with the choice.
The actual choice will be made in a
legislative caucus of republican members
! to which democrats will not be admitted.
Eight republican members from Penn
bina county will be powerful factor in
that caucus. At present it looks like a
reelection for Mr.. Hansbrough, but it is
quite possible that there may be enough
other ambitious candidates with follow
ers, sufficient to prevent his reelection.
1t will then be practically free.for-all.
Pembina county ought to be IN posit-
ion to have something to say and it will
be if the eight members from this county
are in the republican legislative caucus.
On the question OF resubmssion there
S this difference. The republican con-
1entions OF both districts declared
lgainst resubmission and the members
re elected on that platform.
In the democratic conventions, the
tate convention declared in favor of re-
submission, the district conventions strad-
died the question, and the candidates
haven't publicly avowed themselves
|either way-and il, they did they have
two horns Of a dilemma-either to agree
with the state platform and be defeated,
or else to oppose the ayowed principles
of their own party.
You don't know how these men will
,ote on prohibition, but you do know
hat the republican platform and candi-
dates are both for prohibition.

to the polls and casting their votes
for him. He has been faithful in
discharging his duties and is en-
titled to an emphatic endorsement
by his district. A full vote should
be polled for this and other good
reasons. A small vote incites

us that the management has de-
cided to double up the capacity of
the plant by adding an additional
number of looms and by increas-
ing it's operating force so as to run
day and night An addition to
the present buildings will be re-
quired to do this. This can be
erected conveniently and at a com
paratively light cost. The output
of the mills is sold ahead up tt
the first of next june. The de-
mand for Its fabrics is very large
and all that it can weave can bt
readily sold. At present prices
of cotton there is a good profit tt
the mills. All its affairs are in
most satisfactory condition.
A proposition to the mills from
a high source is pending, to joir
an adjunct factory for the manu-
facture of its fabrics and is receiy
ing consideration. We are not a
liberty just now to say more OF
this subject. But we think it will
be ~favorably acted upon, in which
event we may expect another fine

The Penitentiary Middle Again.

The Board of Control have war.
den Parchman up for charges pre-.
ferred against him for failure tc
show on the books the whereness
Of certain monies belonging to the
State. The amount involved is
small, aggregating only about
ninty-one dollars, but it seems
that Parchman received this amt,
of the States money and made no
entry on the books. His expla-
nation is that he gave the money
to boot in a mule trade, together
with some other disbursements
for the State, amounting to the
ninety one dollars, and inasmuch
as the State got all the money
again. deemed it unnecessary to
make an entry on the books.
Such transactions as this are a
reflection on the Board of Control
and the Legislature OF the State
that gives to any Il man or set
of mel the right, and it seems, Il
free hand, to receive aud disburse
the peoples money without let or
hindrance, and at the same time
verbal explananations can only be
made to account for it. A refiec
ton that bears alike upon the IN
teIligence and business methods
employed, and yet they seem to
receive sanction from the powers
that be. When this matter was UP
before the Legislature last spring
the writer offered d resolution
that Il committee be appointed to
draft a bill putting the warden
aud Board Of Control under proper
restraint, turning all the money
Of the State into the treasury to be
drawn out only with proper war
rant, and at the same time requir
ing a systematic set Of books be
kept, accounting for every dollar
received or spent But this was
met with the objection that lhe
interests were too great aud varied
to enable the keeping Of books
in an up-to date way. Bosh! low
do great corporations with MILL
ions involved aud every variety If
interests combined show up every
transaction involved to the frae-
tional part Of a cent! The fact is
they do it, and furthermore, it
pays to do it.
The State CT Mississippi can do
it and she owes it to helself,o 10.
it.
These Irregularities will never
down until it Is ,ione.
The Star Ledger has never
thought warden Parchman dis
honest man, but on the other hand
it regards him as a good warden
with fine executive ability trying
10 serve the State as best he can.
But it does feel that it would be
