absolutely nothing. He could not even
give a de6nation Of either And yet he
comes boldly out and intimates that the
people Of our town who are endeavoring
to have things conducted with some
little regard to morality are retarding
it's prosperity. We are aware that the
conditions in the west are different IN
many ways from those Of the east. And
the greatest difference is that every-
thing in this country is so much newer
than in the east; So much the better
for us in the west. We have the exper-
fence of the old eastern town to profit
by. But is it any reason that becarse a
city is new that its people should make
a wild rush for prosperity regardless Of
tle morals of town? God forbid! But
while Minot is, yet young and rapidly
growing let us see to it that things are
properly conducted That all kinds OF
vice and wickedness are nipped in TIE
bud; and that our prosperity is not at
the expense Of our reputation as clean
moral city. 1t is sad to know that the
man who edits what he calls the leading
paper of the town should through its
columns give vent to such ignoble
thoughts.
