The Evening Times has no quarrel
with Mr.. Bryan or with the democracy

and on this account all the more dan
gerous when that ability is exercised
in the wrong direction. His generali-
ties as to the trusts are interesting

the truth in what he says, and which is
mere REPETITION of what has been so

thoughtful and conservative people

Man About To,on

According to a certain young man
who has been successful student at
a local educational institution the past
year and who has spent his summer
vacation in farm work near Marvel
ducks are pretty thick down that way.
The young man in question tells
story OF recent experience there
which, unless he is mistaken, should
take crowd of hunters in that dir
ection post haste.
1t seems that the young man has
been in the habit of repairing to a
pond near Marvel of an evening after
the tolls of the day were over and re-
moving his clothing, proceeded to lathe
his manly limbs in the limpid waters
OF the pond. Here, away from the
sight of man and surrounded by q
friendly clump of small timber grow
ing close to the pond, he: splashed
about, diving and turning "watersets"
in the pond, refreshing himself in a
happy manner after the weary moil
of the long and sultry day.
Not long ago, SO he states, he was
enjoying one Of these frequent ablu-
tions when he noted that he had COM
paions in his sport in the shape of
meriods of wild ducks which swan
about the pond, paying little heed to
his presence or the splashing made by
him in his swimming exercises. These
ducks were SO tame, he states, that
they swan but few feet ahead of
him and his outstreched hand could
almost catch them by the legs as they
sailed majesticly upon the surface of
the pond. The ducks are very tame,
and some hunter who discovers this
wonderful pond will find magnificent
place to hunt, with ample reward for
his efforts. Some one unkindly sug-
gests that the fellow companions Of
the young student in his swimming
stunt were mud hens, but he says no,
and says it emphatically.

Former Delegate B. s. Rodey of New
Mexico, who has been appointed a
Judge by the president, was one of the
most ardent advocates of statehood for
New Mexico.
He fought long and we'll. A few
days before he left congress, he was
bewailing his sad fate.

American people, or half of them, do

1t is true that large emigration
has taken place from this state during
the last few years, the destination of
which has been the great Canadian
Northwest. But it has been the people
who has made fortunes in this state
by investing in lands while they were
cheap and selling them after they had
advanced to a higher point, and the
tide of emigration does not indicate
that North Dakota is any the less
prosperous.

1t is claimed that Richard Garlic,
author of THE Maid and the Mummy"
THE Tenderfoot," 1.-THE Mayor of
Toxic and THE Hurdy-Gurdy Girl"
has furnished more vaudeville and
burlesque performers with their jokes
than any other man alive. All his
musical plays abound in good Jokes
and puns. and the less witty and re-
sourceful actors are always stealing

ways maintains close watch for men
with pen and paper and, whenever
one is found in the audience he is
quickly and unceremoniously elected
from the theatre. Many of Mr.. Carries

The business colleges of the land
are adopting to a large extent the plan
of requiring a fair general education

when they do so The Evening Times
has no doubts as to what their de-
cision will be.
Meantime the republican national
convention will have met, adopted
platform and nominated its candidates.
The platform will declare for govern
ment supervision of railroads and all
other interstate corporations. This
is the policy that Is being pursued at
present under the new rate law and
under the antitrust law.
MIR. Bryan would have state owner
ship for local" railroads, or what are
known here as branch lines. BY jan
uary first next there will be $500 miles
of branch lines in North Dakota. 1t
is reasonable to suppose that should
the state conclude to purchase these
lines it would pay in the neighborhood
of $4,000 per mile therefor. or $62.-
100000 for the entire lot. The state
may make such a purchase now if it
chooses to do so. but it must first
change its constitution with respect
to debt limit and then authorize a
loan to cover the cost of the invest
ment. After that it must operate the
roads independently of the operation
of the trunk lines, which Mir. Bryan
would have owned and operated by
the federal government.
1t is very simple proposition and
looks easy-to MIR. Bryan. But is it
a wise policy: The Evening Times
does not think it is.

AN ILL ADVISED MOVEMENT.

1t is something of regrettable fact
that the women of the south have de-
cided to erect a monument to the
memory of Wirz, the infamous COM
mander who had charge of Anderson
Vile prison during the dark days OF
the rebellion, and who was personally
responsible for much of the sufferings
and tortures of that literal hell, L.
which thousands of men died like
beasts and where living was wora
than death. 1.
The people of the south, while in
tense in their hatred of the north and
ready to die in defense of what they
believed to be right, were not inhuman.
Their chivalry and kindness never left
them even in the bitter struggle for
victory, and it would be unjust to
charge them with the inhumanity
which marked the treatment of prisons

sacrifices for the south, nor did his
genius or ability have anything to do
with the success or failure of the
cause. A monument to Lee or Jack!ll
son or any one of a hundred other
leaders who shed luster on the south
by their fidelity to principle and de-
votion to duty, would be applauded,
by the men who wore the blue, and:
they could and would stand in the
presence of such with uncovered head
because it typified something whieh
was honorable and noble and grand
whether found in friend or foe.
A few days ago the famous Ringgold
cavalry of Pennsylvania, which met
on a hundred fields the equally famous
Mcneil rangers in contest for the
possession of the mountain gaps which
were the pathway across Mason land
Dixon's line. met IN joint reunion on
Pennsylvania soil. The event was not
new. however, for the two organiza-
tons have met on alternate soil for
their annual reunion for years, and
the stars and bars which the defeated
veterans have carried at the head of
their marching columns has been as
freely cheered as even the stars and
stripes, not because it typified disunion
and rebellion, but because those who
defended 1t on the field of battle were
men, conscious in their belief and
consistent in their purpose.
Such is.the feeling which exists be-
tween those who have left to the ar
bitrament of war the destines of the
two sections whose industrial inter-
ests were so widely divergent Matters
which once divided the nation nav,

LABOR DAY.

1t is rather to be regretted that the
legislature of this state has not set
apart Labor day as a state holiday.
But it has not. The fault is probably
an oversight in the wording of the
statute rather than an intention of
disregarding the principles which are
involved in an observance of the day.
1t is true that We as nation are ac-
cepting too many days as vacations,
yet every one of them is an annual
lesson in some problem which has
been solved for the betterment of man
kind.
Great as he was as man we do not
celebrate the birthday of him who was
first in war, first in peace and first
in the hearts of his countrymen,"
merely because of the individual. /.
is because of the pure patriotism and
lofty purpose of the man, and these
are the things which are set before
the people when the day is celebrated.
1t is the same with the first martyred
president. Lincoln as man would
have passed from the memory of men
ere this except for the great principles
which were embodied in him. True,
they were part of the man, and are
what made him great above other men.
And it is these which make him today
the beloved of nation.
So is Labor day. 1t does not COM
memorate the birth of any man, but
1t does serve to instill in the minds
of mankind the great and noble princi-
pies which are involved in the problems
of the body polite. Labor in this age
does not mean slavery; neither does
it mean degradation. On the contrary
it is the most honorable of all mean.
OF acquiring wealth. 1t has come up
from practical serfdom to be recog-
nized as calling. Like liberty and
free government it has not reached
this position without struggle. Some
times the methods used have been rad
zeal and seemingly harsh. But the star
of hope. has always been in the zenith
of the worlds hope. + :,,,,l LIE
Labor occupies a place today which
is distinctively its own. 1t has Sc
cured a permanent place in the in
dustrial world, and while the battle
between itself and capital is not en-
tirely over, the disturbance is only the
mutterings of the last guns in the
distance. 1t has won this place upon
its merits as an issue and will hold
1t because of its importance in the
progress of the world. Equal rights
for all men has been its watchword,
and it's principle-old as civilization
has been that the laborer is worthy of
