His emblem is declaration that he
has been tested by the rules of his
order and found worthy of fellowship,
and that those who are his brothers
in the order have full guarantee OF
his worth.
He may be among strangers in all

brotherly love is always extended. He
can meet those who would otherwise
pass him by. as though they had
known each other for years.
1t is one of the remarkable facts of
the integrity of men that but few of
the obligations have ever been VIC

he may be subjected. the oath of fidel-
ity has rung as true as heaven, and
but few have ever given cause for its
bringing the blush of shame to the

LABOR WANTED FOR
IRRIGATION WORK
BY f.. G. Snyder.

Washington, April 26.-Striking evil
dence Of the tremendous development
now taking place in the arid west is
shown by the difficulty which con-
fronts the federal government in Sc
curing reliable contractors to under
take the construction of the great ir-
rigation works. A distressing short
age Of laborers prevails, and this fact,
combined with the numerous oppo1.-
tunities for obtaining contracts for
works of lesser magnitude makes the
contractors slow about bidding On
government jobs.
This condition is forcing the recla-
nation service to undertake construc-
ton by force account on several Of the
projects.
The board of engineers assembled at
Carlsbad. N. NJ, on the 1th inst, to
open bids for the Avalon dam project,
report that no bids were submitted.
Authority has been asked to construct
the work by force account in order
that it may be undertaken at once.

GUERRILLA TACTICS.

The cry of political corruption and
misrule in North Dakota, as voiced
by the Herald and echoed by its news
paper satellites, is one of the most
damnable libels ever perpetrated
against one of the most competent and
rigidly honest set of officials that has
ever occupied the state capitol at Bis
marck-a body of men that have given
the state an unparalleled business
administration void of the faintest
semblance of fraud or misrule
1t is we'll to remember that in the
approaching campaign Senator Hans
brough, whatever may have been his
sins of omission or commission, is not
a factor. Should he be an aspirant
to succeed himself in his present posi-
ton such an event is nearly three
years distant, and should have no
bearing whatever on the approaching
state election.
The Evening Times protests that the
attempt to hold our present corps of
efficient state officers-from governor
to railroad Observation-Disclosures
BILE for the alleged political sins of
any man or body of men, other than
themselves, is simply a dastardly play
Of the designing schemers who are be-
hind the so-called insurgent movement
solely Tor their own personal ag-
grandiZement, and as such merits the
contempt of all right thinking men.

NELSON COUNTY
TRIP A GAME
OF SOLITAIRE
A. H. Smart Holds Insurgent
Meeting and Talks Freely
to Himself.
Special to The Evening Times.

Speciul 10 Inc evening I1meH.
Michigan City. N. D., April 26.-The
recent visit of the Herald's special
STUFF correspondent to Nelson county
and the consequent result of his al
legged discoveries in the local political
field, as the same subsequently ap-
peared in the columns of the sheet to
which he is accredited, has blossomed
and borne fruit-but of decidedly in
different character.
Fired by the wrongs of the people,
as glowingly depicted by the aforesaid
journalistic freebooter, Hon. A. H.
Smart, ex-member of the legislature
and probable aspirant for election
to the house on the insurgent ticket,
proceeded to call public meeting
with a view to crystalizing and aug
menting the insurgent and disaffected
republican sentiment in this locality.
Invitations were sent out promisco-
usly, but when the time designated
for holding the meeting arrived there
was but one lone representative of the
downtrodden masses present in the
person of Hon. A. H. Smart.
The citizens of Nelson county have
long been noted for possessing no
inconsiderable amount of hard, COM
mon sense; they are admittedly, in
point OF intelligence at least, the
equal to those of any other section of
the state; this being true it is small
wonder that the frantic attempts of
irresponsible ignoranuses, in the
guise of newspaper representatives,
and disgruntled but ambitious place
seekers to ghost" them with their
silly rhodomontade should prove an
inglorious failure.

Willy WINSHIP.

Foremost among the newspapers Of
the state that are bitterly hostile to-
wards Senator Hansbrough unques-
tionably stands the Herald of this city
In season and out of season it has
harped, but ever in a guarded manner
that does IN infinite amount of credit
to the foxy cunning of its publisher,
upon the senator's connection with the
alleged looting of Alaska. Taking
their cue from the Herald several of
the irresponsible, small-fry papers of
the state have reproduced the series
of articles now running in the Book
lovers Magazine, wherein it is
charged that Senator Hansbrough
acted with a combination of corrupt
politicians which designed to rob the
miners of the Nome district of the
fruits of their labors in the gold fields
of the far north.
Thus far the willy Winship has not
had sufficient faith in the truth of the
allegations made in the above men
toned magazine articles to reproduce
them in the columns of the Herald.
None know better than does the
would-be political boss that if untrue
the story of the "Looting of Alaska"
is unquestionably libelous and that a
suit for civil and criminal libel
brought against the Herald would be
most undesirable as we'll as an awk-
ward thing to combat.
No one knows better than does this
high-priest of the renegade republic
cans that the publication of
this alleged expose has not yet been
completed. until which time suit for
libel against the Booklovers and other
publications now engaged in crculat-
ing the same might not, for obvious
reasons, be aproDos.
The Herald schemer is also we'll
aware that the senior senator's time
10, anu III ocNCldi past
been. fully employed in attending TO
his official duties lat the national CAPT
toll; that with the adjournment of
congress and upon the completion of
the libelous articles he will be at
liberty to take up the SuaSe of battle
thrown down by his defamers
and answer their calumnies in the
courts OF the land.
1t is because of his possession of
this knowledge alone that has deferred
the pharsaical publisher of the Her.
aid from acting as other than an in
otter of the publication of the libel
against Senator Hansbrough,
OF course The Evening Times may
be in error in forcasting the probable
future course of Senator Hansbrough,
as it has no definite means of know
ing what he may or may not do in the
premises, but in any event the Herald
has chosen a safe course in melting
its financially irresponsible contem-
poraries to the task of pulling its
chestnuts out OF the fire.

procuring fuel from these new fields
under rush conditions becomes as
much highway robbery as the prices
charged for stored coal by the eastern
operators. These conditions enabled
the Ignite operators in this state to
put that product up to such price
two years ago that it became
prohibitive of it's use when the strike
was settled. Nor has the price ma
terially fallen since that time.
Like the gentleman from Arkansas.
there seems to be no need of repairing
the house roof when it is not raining.
While the people OF the northwest are
receiving full supply OF fuel from
Pennsylvania and declaring the rail-
road robbers for charging freight for
two thousand miles, the great wealth
of fuel that lies at our doors remains
undeveloped. We do not need it now,
and what is the use of reducing
freight from two thousand to a two
hundred mile haulage when there is
abundance of fuel for the farmer?
There is much disposition to charge
effects to improper causes, but one
of the burdens of which the public
complains against the railroads is the
large freights which the public itself
forces on them.
Here is an illustration. East of the
Ohio river hard coal sells for about
nine dollars per ton. Soft coal from
parts approximately as far distant
from the place of consumption costs
three dollars PEI ton. On this basis
there should be difference of at least
six dollars per ton in this part of the
country, for the only difference be-
tween the east and here, so far as the
expenses are concerned. is in the
freight
The freight carriers merely take adj
vantage of condition forced upon
them by the people.
The development of the coal fields
of the west would avoid the long haul,
and within the state the legislature
has ample power to fix the rates of
transportation charges of common
carriers so that eXtortion would be
utterly impossible.
We have hardly awakened to the OPP
portunities before us. and probably
will not SO long as our eyes are con-
stantly on our great agricultural
,, wealth.
What is needed is the development
of the things that lie at our hand and
whose development would not only
bring added wealth to the state itself,
but would supply the very thing that
is absolutely needed by the people in
their everyday life.
Moreover, it would place the very
portion of the country that has the
greatest danger from a coal famine,
outside the power of the two indus
trial elements that have the least con-
sideration for their interests.

ResOurceful.

The late James E. Martin, brother
of Bradley Martin, was man of old
fashioned integrity. and the illegal
practices of many noted financiers
and corporations angered and shocked
him.
In a discussion of certain much
investigated company, Mr.. Martin said
one day:
This concern seems always to have
found it easy to break the law. 1t has
been as ready and resourceful as ten
ant l once had.
My tenant was an enthusiastic pi-
in bag to the Grant monument. in
tending to time its fight home. But
when he took the bird out of the bag
policeman came up and said:
What are you doing there?'
Getting ready to fly this pigeon,
said my tenant.
You can't fly no pigeons here.
said the policeman.
why not? the tenant asked.
Its against the law-that's why
not said the policeman. If you try it
on, shall be obliged to lock you up
My tenant placed the pigeon on the
ground, stroked it, and said to it
gravely:
81 can't toss you up here, for it's
against the law, so you must walk
home. Do you hear? You must walk
homeoo'"

WHY NOT DEVELOP OUR COAL9

The coal strike, it would seem. has
been ayerted for the present. and con-
ditions will remain seemingly set
tied until another disturbance sets
the public wild with the dread of an
other coal famine.
The philosophy of the Arkansaw
Traveller is proverbially American.
With all our boasted push and enter
prise and disposition to act rather
than to talk. we are strongly inclined
to let Industrial conditions remain as
they are. even when by so doing we
are certain that trouble will come as a
result.
Now that the present danger of a
coal strike is past. the public has
settled down to the other business of
life, with little. If any, thought of pro-
yiding against the dangers of strike
at the end of the next two years.
Instead of developing during this
interval the great coal fields of this
state and the west in general so that
when the biennial war between the
eastern operators and miners again
develops. as 1t certainly will. there
would be other fields ready and pre-
pared to supply the demand SO that
the public need not be ground to death
between the upper and neither mill
stones. >
4 Instead Of developing these fields in
advance. the work is delayed until the
famine comes and then the cost Of
