WILL THEY DO IT!

Since the recent municipal election
rumors have been current, and appear
to be daily increasing to the effect
that a no inconsiderable number of
illegal votes were cast at that time by
men who were imported from the add
joining towns and cities for the en-
press purpose of athwarting the will
of the bona fde electors.
So far as The Evening Times can
learn there is no intimation, en-
pressed or implied. in these rumors
as to the identity of the party or
parties guilty of this alleged serious
,offense. but if the charges have any
foundation in fact there should. under
our present admirable election law
relative to the matter of casting I'M
registered ballots. be small difficulty
in locating the persons guilty of this
grave crime against the law.
For some days prior to the election
the states attorney published grand
Eloquent manifestoes and sombre warn
ings of the dire things which would
certainly follow any attempt at illegal
voting, but since the election. although
the atmosphere has been literally sur
charged with rumors of misdemeanors
OF this character, nothing in the way
Of investigation or attempted prosecu-
ton appears to have been done by that
gentleman OF his assistants and adj
visors.
The city of Grand Forks cannot
we'll afford to rest under so grave an
to the fair name of the city, as we'll
as to themselves, to investigate these
rumors most thoroughly, and if true
the guilty parties should, without fear
or favor, be apprehended and pro-
secuted to the extent of the law.
This is 4 case where no guilty man
should be allowed to escape, no mat
ter what his social or financial stand
ing may be, and it is sincerely to be
hoped that the authorities will ex-
ert themselves in probing these III
mors TO the very bottom.
Will they do it?

RURAL TELEPHONES.

Nowhere in the Industrial world is
the saving of time more important
than on the farm. This is true not
only because of the rush work so
often required to plant and gather
crops, but because of the long dis
tances and consequent loss of time
in transacting business with the towns
or even with adjoining neighbors.
If the business man desires to con-
fer with his business neighbor, he can
If necessary, rush round the corner
and attend to the matter in a few
minutes. But the farmer must har-
ness his team to drive to his business
conference, thus spending hours to
his city brothers. minutes.
Shopping from the farm is matter
of a day against one of an hour in
the city.
What the farmers need to overcome
this loss of time as we'll as inconveni-
ence is great rural telephone sys-
tenn, connecting the farms of COM
munity with each other and with the
trading town of the community.
These lines could be built by the
farmers themselves at small cost and
once built they could be maintained
at nominal expense.
The advantages in the way of COM
munications with physicians and bust
ness people in the towns would alone
we'll pay for the investment, while the
actual time saved to the farmer who
could transact business over the
phone rather than by travelling sew
eral miles to do 1t in person would
be an actual money saver.

An Old Maine Railroad.

Kennebec Journal COL F. Il.
Boothby, general passenger and ticket
agent of the Maine Central, wrote to
B. F. Eaton, the roads ticket agent
at Skowhegan, asking if he could find
out something about the early history,
especially the opening of the old Som
erset & Kennebec railroad from Au-
gusta to Skowhegan, as far as the en-
trance to Skowhegan- was concerned.
In reply he he has just received the
following letter from Agent Eaton:
"The train which celebrated the
opening of the road was run Dec. 1,
1856. A floor was laid in the car
house and band orchestra from Bos-
ton was in attendance, but so large
was the crowd that they had to d.
vide into two other places, making
three separate places to accommodate
the crowd. This made it necessary to
employ local musical talent. There
were SO many from out of town that
the people could not bed them, so
kept them dancing all night. The old
car shed used on this occasion is now
occupied as a wood house, one mile
out OF town. l am unable to ascer-
tain the name of tue conductor in
charge of the train but am inclined
to the opinion that it was the late
Captain William Mitchell. 1 got the

down. with commendable promptness.
Its decisions on the various aspects
of that subject, it seems probable. in
view of what has already occurred.
that the administration will continue
to find itself much better equipped
than 1t has supposed itself to be for
making successful movements against
monopolistic combinations. The latest
of these enlightening decisions is in
effect that officers of corporations can
be compelled to testify as to their Of
fetal acts and that the courts can
compel them to submit their books to
inspection. In other words, the court
holds that the subject is subordinate
to his or its sovereign, the creature
to the power that created it. 1t will
be recalled that after years of talk
about the alleged necessity of con-
stitutional amendment to give the
government authority to dissolve
combine-talll in which President
Roosevelt and Col. Bryan indulged-
and after the republicans in the
house of representatives had worked
farce comedy by sending such an
amendment to the senate. Attorney
General Knox discovered that there
was plenty of law on hand, and, going
into the supreme court. won a COM
plete triumph over the great railroad
merger. With this additional deci-
sion, rendered over the paper trust
and the tobacco trust. but applicable
to all corporations in interstate trade,
there seems to be no impeachment in
the way of reforming monopolistic
abuses. Is not the track clear and
is not the field white for the harvest?"
And is it not becoming evident that,
if the administration would find out
by judicial tests what authority it pos
sesses under existing laws, there
might be a greatly diminished demand
for remedial legislation? 1t was
"Thompson's colt" that swan river,
fine, fresh-water river, to get a
drink. Seeking legislation to accom-
plish objects that require only the ap-
plication Of existing laws for their ac-
complishment is suggestive of that ex-
ample of equine folly. Washington

KOEHNE ADVOCATES
MOST PECULIAR
DOCTRINE
Would Make Saloon Keeper
Accessory to Every Crime
Committed BY Drunkard.

Last evening DR.. Koehne finished
his series of five lectures at the Bap-
fist church. The attendance of the
entire course has been between 400
and 500 people nightly who greatly
enjoyed the doctors masterful disser-
tations on wide range of subjects
correlated with the life and influence
of Christ on the civilization of the
world.
Last evening Dr. Koehne made
savage attack on the position of the
skeptic and showed with irresistible
logic that his position was more I'M
tenable than that of the Christian,
even in the light of cold logic.
After the many startling assertions
which the doctor made during the
evening, was the solution of the saloon
problem by holding athe dealers in
liquor accessory to the crimes COM
mitted by the man under the influence
of liquor.
Il am disguised with the puny vam-
porings of the temperance people and
their methods of procedure They con-
tend for many things which are i'm
practicable and waste much energy in
doing things which are not effective
Deal with the liquor problem as a
business problem. What do you do
with the druggist or the hardware man
who sells instruments of death know
ing that murder is to be committed.
You make him accessory to the crimes
resulting.
do the same with the saloon keep
er. If he sells man liquor and he
goes home and beats his wife, hold
him as accessory. If he sells man
liquor and he commits murder, hold
him accessory to the crime and hang
him. Make him also responsible for
civil damages. 1t would not take long
to solve the liquor problem"

THE LAWS DELAY.

8 In his address before the Minnesota
State Bar association Judge Amidon
of the federal court of this state, Great
ed something of a sensation by de-
claring that the present methods of
administering the criminal laws in
this country were hindrance to JUS
tice, and network of technicalities
because of which it was we'll nigh i'm
possible to convict the guilty.
He stated as a matter of fact that
a felon with money can by taking ap-
peals and by other delays entirely
thwart justice, and finally escape pun
ishment.
While there is some ground for
criticising the delay of justice so far
as 1t is caused by appeals, the reasons
that lie beneath these appeals is sell
dom considered, especially by the
class of semi-yellow journals which
pretend to claim dignity as magazines
which have been largely instrumental
In creating the popular idea that
every appeal, especially in criminal
cases, are escapes from justice.
Not only are these ideas false, but
the very cause of the delays are large
ly the results of the great dual sys-
tenn of courts which have been built
up in this country.
Judge Amidon contrasted the courts
of this country with those of England
and showed that there were fewer ap-
peals in that country than this. The
conclusions which he reached were
wrong because they were based upon
false premises.
IN England there is but one series
of courts. In this country there are
stwothe state and the federal. And
while the Jurisdiction Of these two
sets Of courts are specifically defined,
there are many places where the fed
'eral courts may be invoked in matters
pending in state, courts. BY this

PULSE OF THE PRESS
Afflicted With OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

AHncted WIN "Mck
bismarck Tribune.]
Some of those effervescent post
election fellows in Grand Forks have
the McKenziephobia bad. 1t is noticed
that one of the most enthusiastic
speakers at the celebration of the re-
suit was one of those traitor members
of the North Dakota legislature who
voted for a democratic United States
senator from this state which ulti~
mately resulted in turning the upper
branch of congress over to the demo-
crats-to the shame of North Dakota
and to the curse of the whole country.
He declared that the defeated candi-
date for mayor of Grand Forks "made
great mistake when he allowed him
self to be drawn into this campaign
under the yoke of Alex Mckenzie"
The local gang" whoever that may
comprise in Grand Forks, may have
lined up for Dinnie for mayor against
Duis, but certainly Mckenzie was far
from the scene Of conflict-and even II
he had been "comeatable," couldn't be
particularly enthusiastic for the sue
cess Of the man who took such an
active interest in the knocking, out of
the capitol act. And further may it
be known that Alex Mckenzie is too
shrewd to be caught in such a game

A Suggestion for the Insurgents.

ILldgerWood Monitor.1
The city election in Grand Forks
resulted in George Duis being elected
mayor over John Dinnie. The latter
was the republican nominee and the
former was candidate on citizens
ticket supported by the democrats and
insurgents. And here is a suggestion
to the insurgents in the state for the
coming campaign. If they really wish
to succeed they should ally them
selves with the democrats.

largely monopolized by, eastern enter
prises. Many of these are located
much farther from the source of the
raw material than Grand Forks is
from the great timber sources of Min
nesota.
In the east many of the timber
areas are limited and much of the sup
ply is of the hardwood varieties, which
while making good pulp, is much more
expensive to manufacture than the
softer varieties. This makes the man
ufactory of pulp under these condi-
tions more expensive than would be
true of a plant using the wood from
Minnesota.
These things prove that there is
great opening in this city for a pulp
and paper mill that would employ five
hundred people. The raw material
could be procured from the regions
contributary to Red lake and the in
flowing streams and from there foated
to this city at practically no cost.
The timber supply available for this
purpose which is accessible to the
water courses and that which could
be reached by short timber roads
would be sufficient to supply mill of
the Size indicated for twenty years at
least, as long as the life lease of the
average franchise.
The timber for lumber in trat part
of the country is now being cut, and
there are vast quantities that cannot
be used for lumber manufacturing
turing of pulp Timber that is now
being burned by the million feet mere
ly to get it out of the way and 10 clear
the land would find market at a
value that would much more than pay
for the cost Of clearing the land.
To the people of northern Mime
sofa this would mean an immense
revenue. and would make profitable a
portion of the country that now pos
sesses many features of farm in
New England.
To the city, the location OF an in
dustry of this kind would mean an
increase in the population of two
thousand people at least, and the adj
dtion Of four or five hundred resi-
dences. That many residences would
mean decided increase in the value
of city property. 1t would mean that
more than Il thousand dollars day
would be spent in the trade of the
city merchants.
1t is interesting in this particular to
note that st. Cloud is erecting three
mills of the very kind we are discuss
ing, and that city is even farther from
the timber supply than Grand Forks.
True, it has water power which we
have not, but if pulp can be manufac
tured in other places farther removed
from both, the timber and fuel sup
ply than Grand Forks is, there is GER
tainly no reason why it cannot be done
here.
1t is all we'll enough to boast of
what we already have, and to point
with pride to the things that have been
instrumental in making the city what
1t is, but eulogies are for the past and
push is for the future
The principle which needs to govern
city desiring to grow should be I'M
restricted misunderstanding every
thing for itself that it is possible to
get. This would require policy of
going out after the possible enter
prises, and like the servants of the
man who had the feast prepared, COM
polling them to come in. 1t means
seeking them and showing them the
advantages to be derived from locat-
ing in our midst.

SUCCESSFUL GYNfNASTIC EXHI-
RITTON

The third annual exhibition at the
City Mission house of the gymnasium
classes for women and girls was held
Wednesday evening, with an audience
of two hundred or more in attendance.
A very attractive programme had been
prepared by the physical director, Miss
May B. Lyon, a graduate of the New
Haven Normal School Of Gymnastics,
class of '99, who has had charge of the
gymnastic work through the past sea-
son. ..--'--
Twelve numbers were presented, all
of which were heartily applauded, and
among which worthy of special men,
ton were eThe Combination March" in
eight sections, the "Flower Hoop Drill
and 1.-THE Peasant Dance" by five
young ladies in costume. Miss Bessie
Sweeney was piano accompanist for
the exercises. Attractive additions to
the gymnastic programme were La
Concerti Dance" by Miss NJ. Ethel Cor
don of Windsor, N. J., the Fencing
Bout" by Miss Gordon and Mr., John
II. Vreedenburg, and recitation by
Miss fitzpatrick.
