ROBT. HAODOW WAS
CHOSEN FOR
VACANCY
Deadlock in County Board
Broken Without Calling in
MIR. Poupore.

This morning the appointive board
in session at the courthouse to fill the
vacancy in the board of county COM
missioners, after taking one ballot,
came to an agreement and the entire
six votes were cast for the republican
candidate, Robert Haddow. The first
ballot resulted in tie, with the DEM
ocrats again arrayed against the re-
publicans. Two votes were cast for
Charles ]. Foss, one for Nels Alme,
and three for Robert Haddow. Imme-
diately after this ballot the demo-
cratic members left the room and
upon their return another ballot was
ordered and the entire vote was then
cast for Haddow. All day yesterday
the board was tied, up and County
Treasurer Poupore was telegraphed
for and came in this morning from the
Commercial club special. However,
the democrats were determined that
he should not have vote and Had
dow's inevitable election resulted
without Mr.. Poupore being called in.
F. w. Schlaberg was the chairman of
the meeting and Hans Anderson, Sec
rotary. The unexpired term caused by
Commissioner McMahon's death, to
which Mr.. Haddow is elected to fill,
expires on the first Monday in Jan
uary, 1907. County Attorney Wine-
man said this. morning that this was
probably the first time for years that
the county board had cast unani-
nous vote.

THE RULE OF WISDOM.

There are thousands of democrats
throughout the country who prefer
seeing the republican party in power
for the substantial reason that under
republican policy it has been demon
strated that there will be no business
upheavals. On the other hand there
are a few republicans who talk i'm
patiently about the necessity of "a
change but these belong to class
who are loath to admit that their real
grievance is of a personal nature
Most of the latter have met with dis
appointment and are smarting under
some fancied wrong.
In the final analysis, however. the
majority of the people may be relied
upon to do the right thing at the right
time; and thus it is that the great
American public is always secure in
the assurance that the country will
NC We'll SOteIueu So lOUS as tQe lQedl-
ist and the iconoclast are in the mi
nority.
The contest between radicalism and
conservatism has been going on for
ages. and there are no indications that
it is to cease. The preponderance of
power has ever. been on the side of
conservatism. out of which has come
all that is good in governmental sys-
tens. The man who keeps cool head
and moves uprightly will always
triumph over his adversary, and the
nation that plants itself firmly upon
principles of logic will outstrip and
bewilder its rival.
We commend these precepts to those
persons who have fallen into the habit
Of complaining at everything and
everybody and who. like an impetuous
child, prefer discord and chaos to
eternal repose.

that his ideals are the ones which mus
become those of his party.

that his ideals are the ones which must
become those of his party.
If such is the fact, he has inviting
ly become a, political autocrat in his
party, comprehending nothing save
that within the range of his own vision.
and refusing to recognize the truth
thatthere may be differences of opinion
without sacrifice OF principle.
AS party measure these matters
concern only those who in case of his
nomination for the presidency would
align themselves with his supporters.
But the entire American people are
vitality interested in any candidate for
the high Office of president, for in the
event of election he becomes the en-
ecutive not of his party but OF the
whole people. For this reason it is a
matter of serious concern whether or
not Mr.. Bryan is a political dictator.
If he is such in his party he will be
such in the Office should he by any
chance be elected.

AT STANDSTILL
Rain Delays Harvesting-Crop
Over Half Cut in Many
Parts.

The rain of last night and today has
interfered seriously with the harvest
ing in this section of Minnesota and
the valley. The rain. according to
farmers in today, was general through
out the valley and in consequence har-
vesting operations are at a standstill.
Many of the harvest hands have come
in to spend a few days and the reports
are that the crop is about half cut in
this section.
Pat Mcmahon. one of the well-to-do
farmers and old-time residents of the
valley, is in today from his farm "a
miles north of this city on the North
ern Pacific. He is a prominent demo-
crat and interested in the commission
ership vacancy on the West Side. 1t
is said that the place has been Of
fered him, but that he has no desire
for the Office or the honors attending
the same. ..f
Mr.. Mcmahon states that the crop
in the vicinity of Johnston, his home,
Is good this year and harvest is we'll
along. Late grain has been badly
damaged by the heat and will be a
poor yield.
Hail damaged some crops in Sulli-
van township Sunday night, but not
extensive, and the reports have been
exaggerated.

A Matter of Business,


Mr.. Sato. the Japanese diplomat. was
defending the old samurai idea-an
idea still held by some Japanese con-
servatives-that business is dishonor-
able.
THE samurai," he said, Claimed
that business was dishonorable because
in every barter, every deal, your OBJ
ject was to get the better of the other
man. To get the better of him you
tried to deceive him. II you succeed
ed in deceiving him, your gain, or pro-
fit represented the extent to which
your deceit had been carried.
For instance, you bought a horse
for 5000. You persuaded B it was
worth $500. B bought 1t for $500. You
had deceived him, cheated him to the
extent Of 800"
Mr.. Sato smiled.
THAT" he said, lis the samurai way
Of looking at business Some children
before they grow sophisticated, look at
business oddly, too.
"A boy said to his father:
Father, ii take dollar out of
your pocket, that Is stealing, isn't it?'
Certainly. my son.
And II bet a dollar on race and
win two dollars is that gambling faith

Yes. my boy

A MANUFACTURING CITY.

1t is evident at this time that the
denatured alcohol business is destined
to become one Of the greatest indus
tries in the country. Not only will 1t
find a ready market when it comes
from the manufacturer but it will be
valuable in that 1t will consume as
raw material large quantity of vege-
table products which are now largely
useless. and which SO far have not
found any very hopeful consuming
market.
Many of the waste products of the
agricultural areas of the west will be-
come available for the manufacture
of the new liquid which will "evolu-
tionize the motive power of the coun-

ADVISES PEACE.

OF course The Herald OF this city, as
does the Springfield Republican. re-
grets the evidence of discord in the
democratic party and quotes from the
latter journal the following advice to
the democratic leader:
If Mr.. Bryan is really great party
leader, and not simply Jealous cru
sader-which in itself is worthy role
he will address himself Immediately
to turning all the batteries on his side
toward the republican party. the CON-
mon enemy, and making his own
forces die in the enemy's trenches in
stead OF in their own
The Herald need have no fear about
it. Mr.. Bryan will have things to say
about the republican party when he
comes home, and with the Herald's
help he will do all he can to stop
the rows in the democratic camp.
Still. nevertheless, we believe that
Grand Forks county will go republic

try. If the well recognized principles
Of manufacturing be preserved the
factories for this purpose will be To-
Gated near the source of the raw ma
terial.
Some city in the northwest will be-.
come great center for the manufac-
turing of denatured alcohol. the same
as Pittsburg is the center of the iron
factories and Minneapolis OF the flour
factories.
There is no reason why that city
should not be Grand Forks. 1t has the
available supply of raw material and
is properly located geographically for
distribution of the finished product to
the largest consuming sections.
1t is useless to repeat the advan-
tages of such line of manufacturing
to this city. They are the same as
would come to it from any other line.
There would be large class Of citi-
zens brought to the city who would be
consumers and not producers. who
would create a market for the perish
able products of the farms of the state.
thus allowing the diversification of our
crops so that no calamity could de-
stroy our income.
Moreover. it would consume as raw
material an enormous quantity of ma
terial which now finds no market and
is an actual loss to the farmers. 1t is
worth making an effort to secure.

BRYAN AS A DICTATOR.

The controversy between William
Jennings Bryan and National Commit
teeman Sullivan of Illinois, gives the
political student an impression that
the democracy is as much divided in
its ranks as it was when the doughty
Nebraskan arose from sick bed at
st. Louis to urge with all his power
OF eloquence and magnetism the ac-
ceptance of the Parker program for
the recent presidential campaign.
The truth is that while the Ameri-
can people have the most profound
respect for Mr.. Bryan as citizen,
recognizing his intense Americanism
and his pure and unblemished private
character, when he steps into the role
Of politician he becomes an arbitrary
despot.
In his second campaign when his
most devoted friends urged the aban-
dOnment of the money question as a
living campaign issue, he refused and
went down to a worse defeat than
would otherwise have been the case
had he taken counsel of his friends.
It. has been urged in his defense in this
particular that he would rather suffer
defeat than surrender principle. Yet
1t is fully as true that the recognition
of an issue as having been settled and
eliminated from public consideration
is not the surrsndering of an issue.
1t may be possible that the enthu-
siasm which he has always been able
to inspire even among those who do
not believe as he does politically, has
developed in his mind the idea that
his POLITICAL judgment is unerring, and

ROBBERS RO0ST"
IS INVADED BY
POLICE
Dozen Fargo Youths, Victims
of Dime Novel Craze, Are
in Trouble,

This morning in Fargo the police
arrested dozen youths with ages
varying from 10 to IL, who. according
to their own confessions. have been
committing numerous robberies in the
residence districts. The boys had a
den back of an old hide house which
they called Robbers Roost." and it
seems that it was rightly named. The
crimes that led to their arrest were
committed in the houses Of w. C..
MacFadden, president of the CONNER
cial National bank, and Of Attorney
H. R. Turner. In both houses the
pantry was the chief point of attack
and quantities Of preserves. canned
goods and pies were carried off to be
devoured at leisure in the roost. The
police have not as vet decided Just
what disposition to make of their
cases. Most of the boys come of good
families. Reading Of yellow literature
is said to have been responsible for
the planning of Robbers Roost."

COLLEGE COSTS.

Among the questions of sociology
which confronts this country nothing
is more important though probably
less discussed than the effect which
wealth is having upon the colleges and
the men and women who are filing
them.
The general tendency among the
wealthy is to give the young men and
women of that class college educa-
ton. In many instances it is moth
ing more than an intellectual veneer
which while giving the outward APP
pearance of education, shows distinctly
the cheapness of the quality beneath.
No wealthy man has made record
upon his education alone. and but few
of them have achieved prominence in
any position in which the college train
ing served as a foundation. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is the remarkable eX-
ception to this rule, as was Lincoln of
the reverse one.
A few of the young men leave COL
lege and enter upon careers which are
useful to their fellowmen. The great
majority of them drift into the listless
and useless life which is forced upon
them by the wealth of parents.
But they set by their habits and
methods the standard for the great
majority of the American colleges.
Pride is strong factor in the make
up of the average young American.
He dislikes the idea of being COM
pared with another to his disadvant-
age, whether 1t be in financial or
social standing. This feeling is
strongly predominant at college. The
young man of small means though
probably large ability, dislikes the
idea of being brought in contact with
the young man of wealth where the
disadvantages of the latter are so dis
tinctly detrimental. 1t grinds his
pride and brushes his ambition.
This is why the admission of SO
many young men of wealth to the
colleges is having such a deleterious
effect upon these institutions. The
brains are certainly to be found in
the middle class Of the American peo-
pie. They are however being driven
out of the colleges because of the
competition with wealth and app,ar-
ance.
One of the great advantages OF the
college athletics is that is serves to
some extent to preserve the level.
The richest dude from Wall street who
had developed his prowess from the
end of gold headed cane and who
had gotten his physical ambition
through an eye glass would stand no
chance of getting on the foot ball
squad or lining up with the baseball
nine, or pulling an oar over the race
course. None such are wanted. But
the big manly fellow who had earned
his college dollars as we'll as his
muscles while handling freight in a
shipping house or in the logging woods
would get a place without question.
So long as they serve this purpose COL
lege athletics are not the danger which
the institutions must avoid.

ON FOR TRIAL II!
Great Northern VS.. Richards
Set for Tomorrow
Morning.

The case of the Great Northern rail-
way VS.. H. c. Richards is to be tried
tomorrow morning by a special jury
and Judge Fisk is expected home from
st. Paul to preside. Mr.. Richards is
holding out for $500 for the land
wanted by the company. but the
amount offered him is considerable
less than that figure. Mr.. Richards
states that any other part of the farm
can be purchased by the company at
$50 per acre, but that the front which
is needed for the side tracks would
cut of the prettiest portion of the
farm and spoil all chances for cutting
the land up into lots as has been Mr..
Richards intention for years. With
the university just across the track.
Wesley college but a short distance
away and several other colleges in
prospect. Mr.. Richards figures that
several cottages put up on the land
and rented out to the faculty profess
sors would prove good investment.
Then again there is small lake along
the front of the residence which would
necessarily have to be filled up.
