HON. B. S. Bennett
IS SLATED FOR
AGENT
Will Go to White Earth-E. M.
Walsh for Senate-Stadsvold
and Krostue for House.

1t is said on the highest authority
that Hon. B. S. Bennett of Fosston,
one of the men who represents Polk
county in the legislature, will shortly
receive notice of hts appointment as
Indian agent at White Earth, to re-
place Simon Michlet Mr.. Bennett
has decided that this is a bigger plum
than representing Polk county in the
new state capitol at St. Paul.
The position of state senator, now
occupied by A. d. Stephens of Crooks
ton, will be filled by E. NJ. Walsh of
the same city, so runs the slate. j. S.
Stadsvold of Fosston will be a candi-
date to succeed Mr.. Bennett in the
house. Gunder Krostue will succeed
himself. This is a strong combination
and will doubtless go through if prop
erly sprung.
1t is also said that recent develop
ments at Washington have renewed
Mr.. Stephens hopes of going to con-
gress, and that he will make fight
for the toga of Congressman Steiner
son.

HORRIBLY BURNED.
Young Woman Caught in Gasoline Elk.
plosion Burned Beyond Recognition.

Because there was no one present
who knew the young lady SO terribly
burned in the gasoline explosion at
Crookston which set fire to and
wrecked Joseph Mackoff's cleaning es-
Enlistment Wednesday, there was no
way of establishing her identity. She
was burned beyond recognition of any
one but the closest friends. The
fact that several thought that it was
Mrs. Mackoff, who was known to live
upstairs, led to that supposition.
The unfortunate young lady was
Miss Ida Sandeen, who had just en-
tered the establishment to use the
telephone, and after finishing had en-
tered the work room that she might
thank the proprietor. She had just
entered the back room when the ter
rible explosion occurred and, being
deafened by the sound and met with
a mass of flames, she lost all pres
ence of, mind. Had she been better
acquainted with the building there IS
little doubt but that. she would have
escaped with practically no injury.
The door through which she had
entered swings to the inside and in
trying to escape she rushed towards
it and endeavored to push through.
She was held there for some time
when she gave that means of escape
up entirely and made through the
worst of the flames and got out the
back door. Rushing into the open air
with the flames famed by the wind
she appeared living mass of fire.
Her agonizing cries soon attracted at
tention to her and she was rolled in a
SNOW bank

QUALIFICATIONS FOR CITIZEN.
SHIP.

The bill which has been introduced
in the house placing an educational
qualification on naturalization is bad
in many particulars.
The northwest has been settled
largely by people from other coun-
tries, and the unprecedented growth
OF the country is proof of the worth
of these people as citizens.
The sons of Europe have been large
ly instrumental in transforming the
American desert into the bread
basket of the world. They have fought
privation in many instances, and plen-
ty of men can be found now able to
write their check in five figures with
out cramping the eXchequer, who pos
sessed little more when they reached
the land that was destined to be their
home, than their health, their muscle
and their energy.
The country of their adoption has
suffered nothing by their coming. They
have taken the wealth that the Ameri-
can did not have the nerve to take,
because it required energy and per-
severance to take it from natures
storehouses.
The bill provides that the applicant
for naturalization should be able to
read and write his own language, and
that before he can receive final natur-
alization papers, he must in addition
to his own language, be able to read
and write English.
No one objects to a high moral
standard being required of those who
seek to become citizens of this coun-
try, and reasonable knowledge of
our governmental institutions should
be required as we'll.
But the majority of those who come
to our shores from the overcrowded
nations of Europe are, during the first
five years Of their residence, engaged
in establishing a home, and unfor-
tunately have but little time to de-
vote to the requirement of a new
language.
1t requires four years in college I'M
der competent instructors for an Am
erican to acquire proficiency in Latin.
Yet 1t is proposed to require a man
in five years, if he becomes a home
steader, laboring from ten to fourteen
hours per day on the farm, to acquire
reading and writing proficiency in
the most intricate and difficult Ian
guage in the world
The requirement is unreasonable.
The foreigner who files on a home
stead and takes out his first citizen
ship papers will be required to learn
the English language before he can
make final proof, and thousands who
would become ideal citizens would be
debarred.
There is no provision for any dis
position of those who fail to meet the
requirements. They could not be re-
turned to their own country, and the
nation would present the absurd spect-
acle of having great alien population

subject to all the exactions of the gov
eminent but with no voice in its maxi
ing.
1t is urged in behalf of such a meas
ure that he who would become a citi-
zen of the country should know its
accepted language And that when
this citizenship is conferred upon him
he should be able to exercise it in
diligently.
The argument is good in theory. But
1t must be remembered that men can
be intelligent without knowing a
strange language, and that the fact
Of being able to use such language
is no proof of ability to assist in max
ing the government or it's policies.
1t must be remembered, too, that
the franchise has already been con-
ferred upon class of citizens who, if
measured by the plan proposed, would
fall far short of the standard.
There can be no objection to the
coming of the desirable classes from
the intelligent nations of the earth
from people who have proved their
loyalty to a government even though
oppressive. And when they do come
there can be no reasonable grounds
for requiring them to acquire in
adult life an education in a language
other than their own, before confer
ing upon them the dignity of citizen
ship.

Expression of Thanks,

Mr.. and Mrs. E. Arneson desire
through the columns of The Evening
Times to express their sincere thanks
to the many neighbors and friends
who so kindly assisted them with acts
Of kindness and words of comfort in
the illness and death of their beloved
daughter. They feel especially touch
ed by the closing of the public schools
in respect to her memory.

Let Contract for Ditch.

County Auditor Hoffard yesterday
let the contract for the construction
of ditch number SO. There were sew
eral after the job and the work will
be done at a moderate figure. The
contract was awarded to Charles A.
and Ed A. June, who reside near Foss-
ton. Others who were after the job
were Henry Wilder, B. N. Paulson and
T. H. Torkleson, all of which were
higher than the bid of the June BROTH
ers, who will do the work for 11.9
cents per cubic yard. The contract
calls for the completion of the work
by the first of December.

machinery and will be prepared to
manufacture the tow for the eastern
market from the fax straw.
This is an industry which has been
much discussed in the Red river val
ley and Crookston has made several
attempts to secure one, but has
not succeeded: Mr.. Krostue will pur-,
chase the flax straw from the farmers
and give them all there is in the deal,
SO long as he makes reasonable mar
gin until the industry is firmly es-
tablished. He believes that it will
mean thousands of dollars to the
farmers living within hauling distance
of Fisher and will bring much business
to his home town.

Don't Forget Tonight.

The presentation of "The Deacon"
at the assembly hall tonight will be
one of the star attractions of the sea-
son for the people of the city. Not
only will it be worth while to know
what home talent is able to do in the
line of stage work, but the merits of
the play itself is far beyond those usu-
ally seen in local playhouses.

he left the candy on a table and went
out of the room and was surprised
when he came back to find that the

appeased by the presentation of a box
of cigars by the boys and still prom

Speculated in Eggs.

A young lady of this city is likely 70
outrival some of the powers of Wall
street in a short time. She has been
specializing in eggs, buying from the
country and selling to the merchants.
Yesterday, hearing that the supply
was running low and the market price
rs cents, she ordered 30 dozen by
phone at Is cents. When they ar
rived, however, the price had drop
ped to IA cents, and made her profits
look like thirty cents.

Police Took His Name.

A gentleman from Larimore fmbibed
too freely of thirst quencher and was
run in. While quietly sleeping in a
cell at the city hall, he was aroused by
a reporter and asked his name, and in
a hazy manner replied that the man
who arrested him took it from him.

sage to the Storthing:

am profoundly moved and touch
cd by the signal honor shown me
through your body in comforting upon
me the Nobel Peace Prize. There is
no gift ] could appreciate more, and
] wish it were in my power to ex-
press my gratitude. | thank you for
myself and | thank you on behalf
Of the United States, for what | did
/ was able to accomplish only as
the representative of the nation of
which, for the time being, | am presi-
dent. After much thought | have
concluded that the best and most
fitting way TO apply the amount of
the prize is by using it as a founda-
tion to establish at Washington a
permanent industrial peace commit
tee. The object will be to strive for
better and more equitable relations
among my cOuntrymen who are en-
gagged, whether as capitalists or
wage-workers, in industrial and agri-
cultural pursuits. This will carry out
the purpose of the founder of the
prize, for in modern life it is as inn
portant to work for the cause of just
and righteous peace in the industrial
world as in the world of nations. !
again express to you the assurance
OF my deep and lasting gratitude and
appreciation.
