cious document is beginning to fade,
and the paper on which Thomas JEFF
ferson wrote 1t is decaying, so that the
Federal authorities have put it in an
alright case and keep it in a dark
room. That shows what they think
of it. Why, If that precious document
should get lost the shade CT Thomas
Jefferson would get out of its coffin
and rustic AROUND until the same was
restored.
"Of course, | wasn't worrying bit
as to what the ghost OF Jefferson
might do under the circumstances
the living Pat Grove needed money
much worse than the dead Thomas
Jefferson. Why, it would be just a
matter of how much fellow wanted
the Government would pay any
price to get IL back"
Grove then went on to tell how he
consulted companion as to stealing
the document from the archives of the
State Department They talked over
the matter in detail. The confeder-

Depa-tment building, and at the prop.
CT time the immortal paper was to

Sunday night two men who gave
their names as John Storey and
John Mayher for selling jewelry
of the spurious nature, without

seven cents and selling them for
fifty or more, as the occasion
permitted. Sunday night they
stocked up Mr.. Kimball's son
with cheap jewelry. The officer
lost no time in finding them and

charge before Judge Murray and
were fined 80 or given ten days.
They chose ten days for obvious

means that money is thepeople's

1t is too bad but it's true that

Little Boy Will Probably Die.

Albert Rocks, a little ten year
old boy, the son OF an Esteyan,
Cam, brick layer, is lying in a
precarious condition at the hos
pital in this city. A few weeks
ago while playing with a com
panion, the latter threw a shovel
at Albert and struck him in the
eye, putting it out. An Estevan
physician doctored the boy for
two weeks but as he did not
grow better he was brought to
Minot. DR.. Carr took out the
eye but the member had been in:
fected and the trouble has de-
veloped into spinal meningitis.
There are little or no hopes Tor
his recovery. The father has
been with his boy during the en-
tire ordeal.

Socialism because we mighthave

an appointment system, of pres
ent day political corruption, in
short, of hell on earth.

of the whole world.
Under Socialism, not a man
will be appointed to any place
in any industry, but every officer
will be elected by those whom he
shall be chosen to serve, not a
wage will be paid to any person
but each will receive the full
social value Of the whole product
Of all the work he does, not a
man will be corrupt because it
won't way him to becorrupt and
all they are corrupt for today is
the pay they get, not a man will
steal because it will be easier to
earn wealth than to steal it and
earth life will be Heaven instead
of the Hell of todays commercial
war, because our. whole social
system will be in reality a grand
incentive to noble life a character.

The reason the railroad mag

The reason the Rockefeller gang
