DON'T THINK MUCH
Sam Jones Doesn't Like North Dakota
PEOPLE.

Wednesday the noted evangelist Sam
Jones passed through the city enroute
from an engagement at Fargo to Win
nipeg where he is lecturing for the
remainder of the week. When seen
at the Great Northern station in the
evening by The Times he said: Il
don't know as North Dakota people
are any worse than any others. They
strike me as about the same as all the
rest of them, they deserve to go to
HI, whether they do OF not is an
other question.
1.-THE United States at the present
time is undergoing moral upheaval
which will be of lasting benefit, be-
]ieye, at least. 1t is in all walks of
life. The reform is extending not only
into public life but into private life
as we'll. While much has been ac-
complished, much remains to be done.
The people of the United States as
we'll as those of North Dakota can
stand little more reforming and yet
/ escape soaring away into eternal bliss.

doned in the Immediate Future.

QOueQ III the lmmedAte Future,
Wednesday morning Capt. j. e. Nc
Arthur of the 2Sth regiment of the
United States Infantry, stationed at
Ft Smelling but detached at present as
inspecting officer of the North Dakota
National Guard, accompanied by Maj.
where the will Inspect the company
where they will inspect Company H.
today.
Capt. Macarthur is West Point
graduate and saw service with his
regiment In the Philippines. He meets
many of his old comrades in arms
here In North Dakota and enjoys his
work the more on that account.
He said to the Evening Times at
the Dacotah last evening: II find the
national guard of North Dakota in
very good condition, all things con-
sidered. To be sure there are many
companies which have just been or
ganized and many of them which have
new officers and the consequence is
that things are somewhat chaotic but
on the whole the militia is credit to
the state.
II connot understand why the people
OF Grand Forks are not concerned
about good militia company. The
larger towns can better afford to sup
port q company than the smaller towns
and have larger number of men to
recruit from I mean by support, a
desirable place in which to meet, that
being all important with militia COM
pany.
Maj. Hildreth was much surprised
that Grand Forks was making no move

A Citizen cannot see the force
of the warrant howl" raised by the
Duis cohorts. 1t is more creditable in
my Judgment for a citizen of Grand
Forks to invest his money in city war
rants at seven per cent and help to
maintain the credit of the city than il:
is to send 1t to Canada to invest it in
farm mortgages, ETC., outside of the
city. Mr.. Dinnie helped Grand Forks
when the city needed help and at &
sacrifice to himself. Money was
worth more than seven percent and
most of the people in Grand Forks
would not take warrants. AS to the
evasion of taxes there is nothing to
show that Mr. Dinnie owned one o.
these warrants on May l. 1t is a
very lame campaign argument in my
judgment

first impression was that some one was
hurt, but upon entering the room he soon
found he was the victim as in few well
chosen words George Taylor presented
Mr. Young with beautiful Office chair.
