THE FILTHY BACKYARD.

The city physician states that the
worst thing he now has to contend
with is the fact that people neglect
or refuse to clean up their back yards.
So far as identifying that part of
the premises is concerned, that is a
matter which can only be effected
through the efforts of the owner. 1t
may be possible to appeal to his civic
pride. but that failing. there is no
course open except the neighbors do
ing the work which is something of
personal interference and would prob
ably be resented.
If the conditions are such as to en-
danger health the power of the law
may be invoked to compel remedy
ing. 1t is probable that the latter
is the true condition.
The hot weather now coming on
and following the abundant rains of
the last few weeks. will convert the
least amount of decaying matter into
disease breeding pest hole.
The disease thus created is not con-
fined to the person responsible for
the same. but reaches those in no
way responsible for the origin as WELL
1t is here that the government has
assumed its functions and has given
to the necessary control over the pri-
vate affairs of men that such public
evils may be remedied.
If these are the conditions in this
city. the evils should be removed
without delay, ....
Every hour they remain endanger
the health of the community.
But it must not be understood that
the city is in danger of an epidemic
from these causes. for the vast ma.
jority of its citizens have cleaned up
their premises long ago. and they did
it on their own volition-the same as
they could have done had there been
no officer or government.
1t is merely the Indifferent and the
careless who need urging at this time.

which enabled the incumbent to rise
from the bottom round of the business
ladder 10 the very top, and to give
him a record for integrity, business
honor and fidelity to the interests of
the public which he was serving that
is the admiration of all who know
him. He has remained steadfast to the
best interests of the state. even when
by SO doing he has put himself in OPP
position to selfish interests which
would be certain to antogonize his
future. He has remained steadfast to
principle under all circumstances.
The business of the state is conducted
in a better manner than ever before.
This is the man who would be set
aside merely that another might have
his place. Let those who demand the
change stand up and tell the people
of this state what changes they pro-
pose to make in the administration of
the executive Office that will benefit
the state, or else stand in the market
place branded as political hypocrites.
The issue before the people at the
present time is simply this: Do the
republicans of North Dakota want to
turn out of Office tried and faithful
servants for those who are mex
perienced in statecraft simply because
a lot of disgruntled politicians are
demanding it? Think it over.

CHURCH UNION IS
OPPOSED BY
DELEGATES
Application for Injunction
Against Same in Decatur,
Illinois.
Evening Times Special Service.

'EVenin& Times special service.
Decatur, ILL.,, May 12.-It now APP
pears possible that the proposed union
of the Presbyterian and Cumberland
Presbyterian denominations may not
be effected at the general assembly of
the Cumberland Presbyterian church.
to be held in this city next week, not
withstanding majority of the dele
gates have been instructed in favor of
the proposition. The opponents of the
plan to unite the two denominations
are preparing to put legal difficulties
in the way and as result it is pos
sible that the proposed union may be
delayed.
1t is said that an application for an
injunction against the union will be
asked in the circuit court here Mon
day. The injunction will be asked on
the ground that the Cumberland Pres
byterian church properties were
bought with money given for teaching
and preaching the Cumberland Pres
byterian faith and doctrines. and that
no board of trustees or other officers
has right to transfer to the Pres
byterian church any more than to Jew
ish or Catholic churches. The claim
will be that the opponents of the union
represent the Cumberland Presbyter-
ian church. to which the funds right
fully belong.
Unionists say that this position is
untenable and will not stand In the
courts, the general assembly having
power to do whatsoever it pleases,
though it's congregation has the in
dividual right to say whether or not
it will be called Presbyterian.
The Cumberland Presbyterian
church has 10000 active members,
1882 churches, 1850 ministers and
about $10,000,000 worth of property.
The real fight will be over the church

A Great Day for the Laird.

The meeting between Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie and Joel Chandler Harris
may have embarrassed the author, but
the irOnmaster was not fustered a
bit. He was never more at his ease.
Throwing his arms around the shrink
ing form of Uncle Remus," he pressed
him to his bosom, held him OF at
arms length. and said: Have the
collards blo0med yet. and are the
swapping beans sprouting? And how
is Old Sis GOVT"
A report of the historic affair says
that the author was at first reticent."
No wonder. Joel Chandler Harris was
overcome as by summer cloud. and
reason tottered. To be embraced on
his own garden walk by the great
library founder and champion of pho
netic spelling-not dialect, mark you!
was glory enough. But to be asked
how Old Sis COW was-that was to
unman the author and tap the fount

modest writer's works was not to be
expected on the part of the Monte

"Brer Rabbit" to phonetic dialect, or
to present the Harris family with a
block of steel stock!
But no, it was not as bad as that
Andrew Carnegie had only come to
pronounce him a genius, and to tell
him that he had filled the world with
sunshine. Lord, Lord. he had heard
that before so many times. and from
so many great men! He's just like

COMBINE TO BEAT
WETM0RE FOR
SENATE
Republicans and Democrats
connive for Defeat Of R. I.
Senator.

Annotated Press to The Evening Times.
Providence, R. l., May 12.-Demo-
Gratis and others opposed to the Re-
publican control of Rhode Island met
in state convention today to choose q
candidate for United States senator to
succeed George P. WetmorH whose
term expires with the conclusion of
the present session.
The convention is the first of it's
kind ever held in Rhode Island. Ow-
Ing to the peculiar registration pro-
visions. the democrats determined this
year to force the fighting and decided
upon the novel expedient of selecting
their candidate in advance of the cleo
ton of the members of the legislature
and appealing to the people to support
him against any candidate the repub-
licans may select.
The democrats believe that their
chances are exceedingly bright of win
ming the seat in the senate. Senator
WetmOre Is candidate for reelection,
but he is opposed by triple alliance
in his own party, c,blsisting of three
millionaires. Senator Nelson w. AL
drich, Col. Samuel P. Colt and MArden
J. Perry. 1t is expected that Colonel
Colt will be named for the senate and
the democrats are of the opinion that.
the split thus caused in the republi-
can ranks will revert to their benefit
Several names are mentioned in con-
nection with the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ent nomination. De of these is ex-
Governor Lucius E. c. Garvin, who
originated the idea of having a state
convention to name the senatorial can
didate. Stephen o. Edwards, we'll
known lawyer, is also mentioned for
the nomination. The independents are
booming Rathbone Gardner, former
republican United States district at
torney and one or the best cam,aign-
ers in the state.

THE COWARD'S CUSTOM.

No successful republican candidate
for governor of North Dakota that did
not accept the dicta,,2n of Boss Win
ship has been worthy of the place, ac-
cording to a recent Herald editorial,
from which the following extract is
taken:
Under this system the office of
governor of the state, which
should be one of both honor and
responsibility, has been robbed of
both, and the functions of this
important office have been usurp-
ed by irresponsible men, and it's
work forestalled in advance even
of nomination thereto.
Does Boss Winship wish to be I'M
derstood as insisting that Gov. Sarles
is an irresponsible" man? The Even
ing Times has been calling upon the
Boss and his insurgent colaborers to
be more specific in their loose accuSa
tons against republican officials, but
our efforts have thus far been in
vain. The Herald's policy of attack
has always been one of vague asser-
uon and innundo, too often based up
on unsupported ISLANDERS invented by
o1y-, I,
Dakota affairs. This is invariably the
policy of the coward, the man who
stabs in the back, preferably on dark
night.

THE REAL ISSUE.

IL Is conceded that all men are en-
titled to their political opinions. But
when they attempt to persuade others
TO accept their doctrines and creeds
It Is proper to inquire upon what
grounds they do so.
The political faction in this state
which is seeking to disrupt the re-
publican party and turn the state over
to waiting democracy must stand up
and specify the grounds upon which
1t seeks this end. Failing to do so it
must be taken for granted that it's
only desire for change of officials
is that members of this disgruntled
faction may fill the places-the outs
to get in.
What account of the stewardship are
the state officials and those filling pub
he positions able to render to their
masters, the people? Is it such as to
retard the prosperity of the stats fjor
to injure its citizens? Has there been
a dollar of the money of the people
stolen by those in charge of public
affairs? Have any of the rights of
citizens been trampled under foot?
Let those who denounce these officials
stand up and specify. or else be for
ever shamed into silence.
What of the administration of Gov
srnor sarles? The prevalent idea
among the disruptionists is that he
should be turned out of place he has
ably flled. and in which there is
every promise Of greater usefulness.

In their anxiety to find political
issue upon which they could appeal
for sympathy and succor (the Loot
ing Of Alaska" having lost its savor)
we note that at some recent gatherings
of local statesmen our senator's were
instructed to vote for the Hepburn rate
bill without amendment. At the very
moment that these instructions were
being formulated President Roosevelt
was telling the country that the bill
should be amended in order to make
it effective. Our senators will no doubt
follow the president and vote for an
amended bill.

MUCk.RAkE GRATING.

Here is sample expression of the
inner motives of the muck-rakers who
make it a business to assail the char
acter of public men. 1t is from the
Pierce County Tribune which has been
sued for libel by Mayor Jones of Rug
by:
We have at all times hoped that
our business ventures might prove
successful. but had counted al
most entirely upon our own efforts
to this end. and to have this un-
looked for "notoriety" heaped up
on US without our request, bring
ing to US an early increase of
business patronage of which we
had fondly dreamed but for which
we had hardly dared to hope at
such an early stage of our career,
we can hardly feel other than
charitable toward our "persecu-
tors"
The Tribune man can hardly set up
the defense that in assailing Mayor
Jones he was actuated by a desire to
promote the public good and not from
motives of malice. BY his own adj
mission he was in pursuit of bust
ness for his paper and notoriety for
its editor. In some quarters to make
a few extra dollars by destroying
mans character is considered a high
toned and worthy occupation. 1t is
the way of the muck-raker.

Alberta Gallatln.

Once upon time there was a
Chesty Manager who liked nothing
better than to cause young actors and
actresses trouble. Whenever they ap-
piled to him for job he would blow
up to seven hundred and eighty and
turn them down with an awful bump.
One day there came to him young
Virginia debutante. who wanted to go
on the stage. AS was usual with him,
he whispered "skiddoo" through his
nose and rolled over in his ONCE chair
for another nap.
But one day he happened to notice

gram at a theater where the mighty
Richard Mansfield was playing. Ind
sometime later he saw the same name
in support of E. H. Sothern. He
thought 1t looked familiar to him, but
could not remember just where he
had heard 1t. Then he saw It again
many times in company with Minnie
Maddern Fiske, Henry Miller. Jacob
Adler, Joseph Jefferson and such like
celebrated lights of the stage. And
then he tumbled and went around to
the stage door with a little supplica-
ton. But this time it was he who felt
the proximity of the North Pole. And
mournfully he turned away.
And when he saw the name still
later. this time heading the bills of
Under the Restoration" and still
again in the same position on the
paper for Ibsen's Ghosts" he got wise
in heap and again scrambled for the
stage door. this time with a prayer.
But the actress would have nothing to
do with him and sent him on his way,
a wiser manager than he had ever
been before.
Since then he has been good to
young actors and actresses. He now
gives them a chance.
Moral: Even if you are not a man.
ager it is best to see an actress at
work before passing an opinion or
saying what she can do.
