which he has delivered give every in
dication that the right man seized the
right opportunity. The secretary has
made many friends for his country in
South America, and incidentally has
recalled to the mind of some Ameri-
cans what is our real attitude toward
the southern republics. 1t is neither to
fiatter them that we will fight their
| battles, right or wrong, nor to under
| mine their independence with insidious
suggestions of the benefits of ANAL
gamation. 1t is to meet their repre-
sentatives as the agents of free, en-
| lightened and equal nations; to ten
der them our congratulations on what
| they have accomplished and to assure
them that whatever protection from in
vasion they may have enjoyed as the
| fruit of the Monroe doctrine, is not
an open account, to be paid in en-
crOachments upon their liberty, but a
balanced ledger in which we have re-
ceived from their trade and their
friendship as much as we have put
into the effort to keep them from the
clutches of foreign despotism.

tary Root has put this proposition

SECRETARY ROOTS MISSION.

1t is not astonishing that the press
of some portions of Europe should
misrepresent the speeches of Secretary
Root in South America and hint that
there is something back of the visit
of the second person in our govern
ment to the Latin republics. 1t is not
astonishing, because from their envi-
ronment and education European edi-
tors could not conceive of a conti-
mental secretary of state travelling Of

THE PLUMBERS
DENY 1T
President Fox States Reports Are
False to the Eject That They Are
on Strike-Statemcnt Made to
Newspapers Misleading.

The journeymen plumbers of Grand
Forks wish to take exception to the
reports published in this and other
newspapers and to reports in general
circulation on the street which are in
effect that they are on a strike.
I'VE never had chance to strike"
said President Fox of the local union
today. "On April 2, when our 1905
agreement, or contract, with the boss
plumbers expired, the bosses walked
from their Offices into the rear of their
shops, where we were at work and
notified us that on and after that date
it would be case of open shop in
Grand Forks. In other words-we
were simply locked out.
Since April 2 our union has en-
deavored on numerous occasions to
get a conference with the employers
with view to securing satisfactory
adjustment of the trouble, but the lat
ter have steadfastly refused to treat
with us.
IF people knew the issues at stake
and the correct circumstances I do
not believe there would be any talk
about us wanting the earth. All we
want, and I think the request is a
perfectly reasonable one, is the recog-
milton of our union and a work day of
nine instead OF ten hours. We defy
the bosses to find single city in the
northwest where the plumbers are re-
quired to work ten hours"

plumbers, has taken up the side of

the observance Of the day at present
and in the past.
Our friend Is one Of those whole,
souled, honest Yankees who in middle
life drifted westward and located in
North Dakota. Though years have
passed since he was a young man back
in New England he still cherishes a
warm place In his heart for the old
down-east customs.
Speaking of Easter" he said, "do
you know what I'd like to have for
an Easter Sunday dinner? Well, it's
a good, old-fashioned ham-and-egg
dinner such as we used to get NJ for
that day down in Vermont. Father
always calculated on having the prim-
est ham in the smoke-house ready for
Easter Sunday and with fresh eggs
gathered by the youngsters that very
day, corn johnnie-cake and brown
ham gravy-well, there was meal
that was one, and don't you forget it."
Now, there is only one way to
smoke a ham," he continued. "and I'd
take chances on the way dear old Dad
used to fix one with the article put out
by any of these packing houses any
time. Pshaw! they don't compare,
Sir; they don't compare.
1T wants hickory wood for q fire
or even good corn-cobs and q ham
wants to be smoked and smoked for
several days-then cut of a few slices
and see what you've got?"
The Man allowed he was perfectly
correct, and that good old-fashioned
New England ham-and-egg dinner far
excelled any of the modern meals of
the kind ever prepared.
The world isn't very large, after
all, and the Man came across an old
time friend from the East not long ago
to see whom did his heart a world Of
good. He was hurrying back home
ward to the family, to be there for
Easter Sunday for In Washington, D.
c., his home city, this is one of the
big days of the year. The annual egg
rolling at the White house grounds
occurs and from far and near in the
outlaying precincts of the Capital City,
the young folks will gather to enjoy
the sports. The marine band will be
present and President Roosevelt will
appear on the South balcony to doff
his hat and smile at the thr0ngs below
him. The Man recalls time when he
himself guided the footsteps of lit
the golden-headed chap proudly among
the throng of happy children on sim
liar occasion, and aided him in guild
ing the pretty Easter eggs down the
grassy incline. The world is not SO
very large, and that was not SO very
long ago-at any event, the Man does
not forget.
Here in Grand Forks the shop win
-dows are filled with pretty Easter nov
elites and the day will be happily OBJ
served in many homes of the city.

happy expression upon his face this
morning as he walked briskly along
