full history of our country. The con-
ditions that brought it forth no longer
exist and yet it lives on full of glory,
honor and capacity for fresh accomp-
lishment.
In its earlier years it was assailed
by external forces and faced momen-
tous situations that for the time ap-
peared little less than overwhelming,
and before which it swayed like the
riven oak, but it only grew stronger
in the right, more powerful in the
cause of good government, and more
useful to mankind.
In its later years it has been persis-
tently beset by forces from within, by
corruption, greed, malice treachery--
and yet it continues to tower above all
such evil influences and to spurn the
pigmy brood that would destroy il.
Its splendid front is still toward the
future, and Justice, benignity and con-
fidence are written on it's every feat
ure.
No matter what apparent dangers
may threaten it's future, the exalted
and everlasting principles which
+ called it into being and which con-
tinue to sustain it will survive. 1t is
the party of destiny. 1t has never
failed before any great emergency
Since it's momentOus birth every
false issue that has threatened the
existence of the nation has been
dealt with through it's good offices, al
ways in the interests of the greatest
good to the greatest number. 1t has
carried high above the interminable
strifes of men the oriflamme of 10y
atty, morality and advancement. Its
banner is still aloft. Generations have
come and gone, old leaders have
passed away. but the youth and ma
turing manhood of the land will ever
behold its beacon light reckoning them
| onward to fields of civic and indus
trial glory. Every political issue that
has deserved to be remodeled into
national policy has been Republican
issue. Every triumph for the public
veal first had its inception in a Re-
publican platform. 1t has never been
party Of despair. 1t has always
been a party of conviction and cour-
age.
That it has withstood the assaults
of foes both from within and from
without; that it has been the instru-
ment of more good in the cause of hui
mainly than ell the other political Or
CARNATIONS in the annals of the world;
that 1t was the sponsor of the nations
great leaders, from Lincoln to Roose-
velt-the veritable machine indeed
through which these foremost sons
were given to the Union and through
which they wrought out their MASTER
ly achievements in behalf of liberty
and morality; that the vital princi-
pies that have actuated it through fifty
years of trial have in point of unden-
liable truth been woven into the very
fabric of the Republic itself-are not
these enough to warrant the belief
that it will endure indefinitely to serve
the purposes of free people and pro-
SresSlVe Institutions?
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1906-01-01

The Evening Times regrets to note
a disposition on the part OF some of
the press of the state to PREJUDICE it's
aim and policy, convicting it in adj
vance of trial OF high crimes and mis-
demeanOrs. possibly to its temporary
determent. That such course is
manifestly unfair ON it's face we think
all fair-minded individuals will unhes-
to be the personal organ of certain
alleged designing politicians, as has
been freely asserted by the envious
and disgruntled, time-and Il very
brief period of time, ut that-must
prove the correctness of the wisdom
Of these sage wiseacres; but on the
contrary, if it's mission-as it
maintains-be the publication of
simon-pure representative Republican
newspaper, one with an eye ever
single to the highest good OF the
party and the welfare of the people
of the state in general, it's cardinal
tenet being Ito tell the truth and give
every man a square DEAL the i'm
mediate future will reveal. What the
Evening Times asks and what it has
reasonable right to expect of it's
readers is simply just Judgment on
the record which it shall make in its
endeavor to carry out its aims and
purposes us above outlined. "By their
works We shall know them" Kindly
reserve judgment until the evidence is
submitted.

WORK FOR THE STATES.

In will be conceded that in recent
years the general government in mat
ters of similar character has not
been ut all backward in taking the
initiative, even where the line between
national and state authority was quite
distinct: but in the matter of drain
age /; very few legislatures, and still
fewer executive officers, can be found
who are bold enough to advise fed
eral control and federal expenditure
for the whole of the work At least
the time is not now ripe for it. That
it will eventually come, when other
great problems have been solved,
there can be but little doubt. for it
is Il great question and will grow
larger as the tillable lands become
scarcer. For the present it is mat
ter that the states must struggle with.
The Evening Times is advised that in
the Red river valley the acre cost of
a complete system of canals and
bitches would be very small, SO small
indeed, that thework can be accom-
plished without the slightest embar-
rassment to any of the counties.
the next legislature may conclude to
create the Office of drainage commits
siOner and provide suitable statutes
under which this most important work
can be done. Meantime the agricul-
tural department and the interested
counties, by intelligent cooperation,
can complete the surveys, prepare nee
essary blueprints and put everything
in readiness for actual work. Much
valuable Information on the subject
will be forthcoming al the drainage
meeting to be held in Grand Forks
this week. Prof. Elliott of the ag-
ricultural department is to be pres
ent, and his remarks will be full of
interest.

In justice to The Evening Times it
is but fair to state for the enlighten-
ment of it's readers that this issue was
gotten out in considerable of rush
in order that the paper might begin it's
existence conformity with the dawn of
the new year. The work of installing
a newspaper plant of the magnitude
of that Of The Evening Times is no
light task. Under these circumstances
many crudities must of necessity be
apparent and for all such we ask the
kind indulgence of bur readers, as
surfing them that the same will be
speedily remedied

be simply pitiable. Let it be under
stood once and for all that this paper
expects to stand or fall solely on it's
merits as newspaper in fact as we'll
as in name; it is not-nor does it
ever expect to bean object of char
ity, consequently the sheet that has
been SO industriously engaged in cir
culating the foolish canard above re-
ferred to has nothing to fear from
competition from this quarter in it's
chosen field of operation.

SONG OF THE YEAR

The Year! How we hailed him with plaudits
a brief vanished twelvemonth ago!
But swiftly the hand of Time audits
Accounts to our sorrow, we know.
Lie brewed us some taste-tickling nectar;
lie spilled us some excellent ink;
And now, though he's nauglt but spec
ter,
n wrath 'peering back o 'er the brink,
Let s raise him rouse that is mellow,
Though no more alert and alive;
For he was jolly fine fellow,
Was old 1905!
He showed us some sights to astound us;
He read us some lessons-beware!
Not least Of the things to confound us
Was Dwarf making game of Bear.
Very much in the former time fashion
He livened Society's whirl
With scandals Of purse and of passion
And prattlings of prince and Of earl
He told us that brains do not below
A truth that's still likely to thrive
Yes, he was q mighty fine fellow,
Was old 1905!
He's gone! Here's greeting flung after.
He'll rest, and in pace, we trust.
lie portioned out grieving and laughter
10 us who are children of dust;
And now, while we dip deep surmise in,
Above life's horizon leaps one,
Whose sparkling inspiriting eyes in
Cleans Youths immemorial sun.
His, too, be rouse that is mellow
A bright brimming beaker we'll mix,
And toast him, a royal fine fellow,
Clinton Scolard.

pace with the rush. The land in the
Grand Forks district has passed from
