EDITORIAL NOTES.

| The appeal of the dispensary in
vestigating committee for information
| respecting the wrong doing Of dispen-
sary officials may have the desired re-
suit and then again it may not. We
cheerfully give it space without
charge hoping that it may aid the
committee in it's labors, but expecting
that the publication of the commit
tees appeal will be resultless. It will
serve one good purpose, however, for
it puts the public on notice that the
committee is not only willing, but
anxious to hear and consider any
charges that any person may desire
to make, and when the investigation
has been finished there will be no ex-
cuse for the claim being made that
the committee did not give those with
charges to make opportunity to ap-
pear before it.
Bishop Potter declines to apologize
for the unwarranted assertion that
South Carolina's morals are at low
ebb, the refusal of the state to legal
ize divorce encouraging concubinage.
It is a serious charge that the eminent
divine made but worse things have
been said about South Carolina by
men equally as eminent and South
Carolina survived, consequently we
[need not lose sleep over the matter.
Bishop Potter's opinion may influence
some people to think i'll of South Car
oilna and place her people lower in
the scale of morality and decency than
even the wife-swapping Four Hundred
of the Bishops own diocese, but his
belief will make us neither better nor
worse than we really are.
It seems practically certainty that
Senator r. l. Manning of this county,
Hon. M. L. Smith, of Camden, Mr.. M.
F. Ansil, of Greenville and Senator
Brice of York, will be in the race for
governor in the next primary. 1t goes
without saying that Mr.. Manning will
have the hearty apd almost unani-
nous support Of Sumter county, al
though Mr.. M L. Smith, being ma
tive Of the Spring Hill section, now
included in Lee county, will receive
considerable support in this and Lee
county. On the other hand We have
information that leads us to believe
that Mr.. Manning will be stronger IN
the Pee Dee section than any Of his
opponents and in the Piedmont where
the majority of the votes are cast IN
the primary he is not only strong but
will make the race something more
than interesting for his fellow candi-
dates. Mr.. Manning is not an orator
of the spell-bound pyrotechnlc de-
scription, he cannot hypnotic his
hearers and make them see STARS ana
imagine that black is white while en-
tranced by the spell of his eloquence,
but he is a clear and forcible speaker
and talks common sense and business
so that every man understands what
ne says and that he means exactly
what his words imply. He is a business
man and a safe, conservative and
careful public servant, as his record
in the house and senate abundantly
prove. If he is not elected governor
of South Carolina the people Of South
Carolina will refuse an opportunity to
make one of the states best and most
capable men her Chief Executive.

Ramsey County
Twenty Years Ago

The following items of local
interest are culled from the
Twenty Years Ago column. of
last Sundays Fargo Forum:
Dr.. Fl. H. Ruger was appoint
ed census supervisor for Ramsey
county. 1t was reported from
Minnewaukan that the Minnie
FL. has arrived at that point from
Devils Lake and Fl. Totten and
that the lake was clear of ice.
Albert M. Powell resigned as
clerk Of the district court for
Towners county, as soon as he
heard of the appointment of
Judge Mcconnell to the bench.
After reading this notice of his
resignation the Inter-Ocean ask
ed Mr.: Powell his reasons for SO
doing, and he stated that Grover
Cleveland having recently come
into Office, and Judge Nc onnell
being 2, democrat. he expected to
be asked to resign and did SO
before he was asked. Mr.. Pow
ell came to this city shortly after
his resignation and engaged in
the=real estate business, and is
now possibly the most widely
known real estate man in the
Northwest. c

The Student: The third an
nuals North Dakota Interschool-
astic field meet which was, held
in university park last Saturday
was, the largest athletic meet,
ing ever held in the state. The
growing Importance Of these
meets, held under the. direction
Of the university, isl seen BY the
increased interest and atten-
dance. A year ago only four
high schools were represented.
This year thirteen high schools
sent resentatives.
The Importance of bringing.
the high schools into contact
with the university, with which
they are affiliated, can hardly be
over estimated. The high school
students will have an, interest in
the university, and when they.
graduate from the high schools,
and decide to continue their edu-
cation they will think of the
university in their own state
# this interest continues to be
awakened, the young people of
North Dakota will not think Of
attending colleges outside of the
state, when they learn that they
can have as great opportunities
here as. elsewhere.

who have been investigating the Storey
Cotton Company and the Provident Invest
ment Bureau crashes discovered yesterday
that &C. H. Davis, themysterious individual
who received $4,000 for unknown services,
q none other than the New York millionaire
who u suspected OF being the hacker Of
the Ret-rich-auick schemes in this city.
The name was assumed by the New Yorker
as part Of his plan to remain unknown in
the Storey Company. He received his pro-
portion OF the profits Of the concern in
monthly payments. The books show that
he received SI4,COO, but this may be only
n fraction Of what he got since the con-
Germ began business.
The monthly payments probably consti-
tinted ROYALTIES. Inspector Ryan Of New
York turned up the connection between
&c II. Davis" and the New York promoter,
whose name Is known but for good reasons
IL being withheld. The New York postal
inspectors have been communicated with
and they are going TO investigate that end
of the case.

A shoe lining

would seem to be one of the hard
est things to advertise-and it is.
A Boston house which was
making a very good grade of
plain shoe lining stamped it with
name and trademark, and
advertised it to the trade alone.
The trade refused to buy it for
the simple reason that it cost
twenty per cent. more than the
lining they were buying, which
lining was equally as good quality
as the trade-marked brand.
So the manufacturer told peo-
pie who wear shoes about this
lining through the columns Of
The LADIES HoME JOURNAL
and other magazines of national
circulation. Within a year the
sales had increased eight hundred
per cent. and several times since
then at the rate of one hundred
per cent. a month.
Cotton has advanced in price
twice in the last year, and twice
the price Of this shoe lining has
been raised, but still the sales
continue to increase.
To-day this trade-marked and
advertised shoe lining is selling
over the same counter, side by
side with the same grade of lin
ing unadvertised, at from two
to three cents per foot more
than the unknown brands.

MINISTERS AND WOMEN.
Bishop berry Talks TO Candidates on
Their Social Privileges.

Bishop Berry Talks TO Candidates on
Their Social Privileges.
Bishop Berry, who is presiding at the
Newark Methodist Episcopal Conference,
delivered an address yesterday to the oandi-
dates for full membership, and it was a talk
founded upon old fashion ed Methodism
with no half way measures or compromises
with sin. He preached eternal damnation
for the unrepentant and abjured any com
promise with sin, or sympathy for higher
criticism.
He spoke to the candidates while talking
over their heads TO the assemblage and
receiving frequent acclamations Of That's
right Good" and "Amen!' Part Of
what he said is as follows:
The social privileges Of the ministry
are immense, Do not fail 10 appreciate
them. but remember-a man who abuses
his social privileges il a scoundrel, We
sometimes have 20 say TO a brother BE
sparing in your talk 10 women A woman
will not soon take the initiative with a
clean man. There must be an invitation
on the part OF the mantle woman will
not take the first step. II man is high
above the thought Of sin. silly woman will
not tempt him. And il you do have an eX-
perience, for Gods sake don't tell anybody
about IL.
But when you make pastoral calls on
women, don't be stiff, either. | know how
il Ia. You are admitted by the lady's maid
and for half an hour. while the lady Is busy
with her toilet you sit In stif back chair,
and then when she comes down you are both
stiff and formal. No good can be done in
that way; you must warm up some; but
be CAREFUL Il is a delicate question to
handle One Of the chief reasons we don't
have more men in the church Is because all
the man knows Of us percolates through his
wife. and after a stif, formal call that is a
bore, that which gets through won't be very
attractive 70 him

alter his upquenchable determination to
ascertain whether the Equitable Is solvent
and declare the same to the satisfaction Of
every one concerned. Mr.. Hendricks is
going TO take six months 10 answer a ques-
ton which no one has asked.
Mr.. Choate Is, perhaps, the only man
who can take up this Augean proposition
and establish TO the satisfaction OF the
public and the confusion Of the Equitable
vultures what Is the difference in the price
Of the securities in the Equitable schedule
Of assets and the price that those securi-
ties Melted to the borrower. What was the
FIRST rake-of on the securities when they
were unfolded in the cellarette9 What
was the price Of them in the ground-hoor
parlors Of the Equitable Trust Company
and in the Mercantile Trust Company
And at what price did they eventually
find their way into the regular schedule
Of assets as issued TO the Insurance Depart
ment Of the Slater
we are told that the policyholders lost
nothing that in every instance the bonds
and securities that they acquired have
advanced in price and that the Equitable
Life, like other insurance companies OF its
class Is In most prosperous and un-
blemished condition. That Il all very
we'll but If the stockholders got their honest
interest on their money and none Of 1t
was diverted into private pockets, insurance
would not be nearly so dear as II Is, and
the legitimate profits divisible among
the policyhoders would amount TO a mighty
sum Of money instead OF being decreased
TO the insignificant and illusory affair
that they are at the present moment. But
do not complain. Let THE sun keep
on with the good work 1t has already
done more good for US policyholders and
for the cause Of righteous insurance than
any other force that has been manifested
In the last twenty years.
How many Of the Equitable directors
have important stipends and participating
privileges? They can't all be in IT, not
withstanding their seeming indifference
to incur ing suspicion. Chauncey DePew,
I am told, has been drawing $4,000 year.
Now, what did Chauncey get that for?
What did he do for it? Or was 1t paid to
him for what he did not do; or for what
he did not say7 see he denies it, but his
denial Is lawyers denial. 1t is a great
thing to have a lawyers privilege, not only
to do so many funny things, but to deny
having done them.
@Harriman's partner Odel, Is another
lawyer chap and maybe he'll deny that
Hyde paid him $4,000 Of the money be-
longing to us poor policyholders for his,
Odel's, influence as the head Of the Re-
publican party in the State Of New York
20 induce Mr.. Roosevelt to make Hyde
Ambassador 10 France in Horace Porter's
placer Odell did use his influence, but it
was a gold brick all the same that he sold
Hyde, Just a. he did Parker Mr.. Roose-
welt only laughed at the idea,
by the way, l am told Gage f. Tarbell
has sold 10 the Equitable his stock in the
Equitable Trust Company at $3.50 a share,
but / don't know which faction was con-
ciliating him at the time. Tarbell Is a fine
man and has great judgment. You never
catch Tarben selling his hens on a rainy
dayl'
