LET THEM WORK.

During the last few weeks a large
number Of violators of the prohibition
law have been arrested in different
parts of the state, and in many in
stances the traffic in intoxicating
liquors has flourished almost openly.
The men who engage in the business
as rule are not representative of the
communities in which their business
Is conducted. and in large proper
ton of the cases they are transients
who are here for the gain which comes
from the illegal traffic
The increased number of these peo-
pie at this season of the year is not
out of tn ordinary. They come every
year with the threshers and they seek

Some Cold Facts.
(S,. Thomas Times.)

NSl. INONdS llmeS.)
We have heard much this fall, and
for some time past about the extrav.-
gance in state offices. About incompe-
tent republican officials and unworthy
men. Our democratic friends are
rushing UP and down the length and
breadth OF this fair state traducing
mems characters and asking people
to turn the rascals out" They say
that If they are given the offices they
will administer them in the interests
OF the people. That they will lower
taxes and elevate the standard of pub
lie morals. When a democratic ora-
tor or politician tells you these things
he Is talking for effect. He knows
that the record OF democracy when
ever and wherever it has had full
power and control is one of greed and
extravaganza. The democrats of Penn
bina county are no better or worse
than the democrats of the rest of the
state. They have named as their can-
didates for Office men whose records
for public service we have expose i.
Are these the kind OF men you want
to substitute for the republican Off

think the change would be beneficial

Bring Forth the Facts.
(Ku,m MesSenEer.)


II might be interesting to the insur-
gent press to know that the much
talked of opposition 10 John Knauf by
the attorneys OF the state is nothing
more than bluff sent out to fool the
voters. At the time of the state con-
ventiOn. 1t was said that the lawyers
of Fargo were very much opposed to
knaui. but when the republican state
central committee met at Fargo it Was
learned that nearly all OF the Fargo
attorneys were favorable to Mr.. knaut
and those who were not are either
democrats or insurgents. Thus an
other campaign falsehood is explode |.
The Messenger has commended that if
Mr.. knauf's political enemies know
any reason why he should not be
elected, that they should make it
known to the public, but up to this
time no specific charge has been made
against him. What little opposition
there is seems to be of personal ma
ture-brought about by the fact that
Mr.. Knauf has always been persist
ent worker in the republican ranks
and has in former campaigns done
some very effective work for the re-
publican party. Will his detractors
produce any valid reason why he
should not be given the support Of all
true republicans? Decidedly no. They
cannot, they dare not attempt it, and
will not Mr. knauf becomes strong
er every day in the face of his opposi-
ticn.

NO ACT OF PROVIDENCE

losses sustained in the great
disaster which afflicted this
city at the time of the earth
quake.
The Transatlantic had no
earthquake clause. Its resist
ance to the payment of obliga-
lions rested entirely on the gen
eral clause of exceptions in pol
icies of which it is relieved
from liability in case of loss
caused by invasion, insured
ton, riot, civil war or civil
connections or through mill
tary or usurped power or by
order Of any civil authority.
"There is no evidence that
can bring the case within any
Of the exceptions contained in
the policy" said Judge Cook.
Gwen if the earthquake caus-
ed the fire, the defendant would
still be liable under the policy,
but there is no evidence that
would justify a finding that the
fire was caused by the earth
quake.
The company disclaimed re-
sponsibility upon the assertion
that the fire was an act of prov
idence.

Notes from the University

President f. p. Robertson of Wes-
ley college was the cOnvOcation speak
er Saturday. He spoke on 1.-The Phil
osophy of Life" Though a very deep
theme. he handled 1t we'll.
DIR. Robertson impressed upon the
minds of his listners the serious mean
ing Of life. He strongly appealed to
each student to SO live, to so organize
his courses of study which ut school,
that he might thereby carry out 4
single life purpose. He cautioned the
student to ask himself occasionally:
What meaneth this that do?
Whittier will 1t bring me?"
The savage, going upon II hunting
trip. takes with him Il quantity of
food: he arms himself; he plans to
go Il certain route and to camp ut Il
certain place rs nearly as he may BIZ
able: in word there Is adaptation
of means to certain end. Even the
simple savage has to some degree a
philosophy of life.
The speaker then dwelt on the COM
pleXity Of modern civilization. 1t has
become so within the span of q mans
life. 1t takes mightier man to keep
his poise now than it did n generation
ago. Civilization will not return to
its former state of simplicity. The
world does not go backward. There
is greater need than ever of correct
thorough preparation for life. There
is greater nd than ever OF correct
physical and moral life in order that
one may endure the increased intellec-
tnal strain brought about by the com
plexity in modern life. The speaker
drew lessons from personal knowl-
edge Of men Of Wall street. These
men do not dare indulge in the temp

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.

The republican campaign has OPEN
ed in earnest in this state and already
the sophistries upon which the demo-
Gratis attempted to carry the state are
Seing punctured. The central COM
mittee is firmly in the saddle and from
this time until the polls close there
will be such rallying of the repub-
Icans In every quarter that the ticket
OF the party will he swept into Office
by the biggest majority ever received
in the state.
1t is admitted that the democratic
campaign is peteriug out 1t was
thought that Candidate Burke would
be able to arouse an enormous tide of
enthusiasm which would sweep the
voters from their mornings and make
q landslide for the head of the demo-
cratic ticket. The party placed him
ON the stump where he made by far
the best appearance. The party man
ayers recognized his ability to plead
a bad cause in the best manner he
cause OF his years of experience at
the bar.
But Mr. Burke discovered that the
people of the state did not want gilt
tering generalitics and stereotyped
sophistries. They wanted facts-plain,
unvarnished and clear-cut facts. These
he did not have. He started in the
campaign with the promise of reform
ing the state administration il he were
elected. The voters called for the
particulars wherein the state govern
ment had not been properly admin
istered The democratic candidate
had none TO give. They wanted to
know what Mr.. Burke would change
II he were elected. He could not name
a single one in particular.
The result is that the people soon
became disguised with the democratic
claims and pretensions and now in or
der to secure little applause, Mr..
Burke is compelled to eulogize such
republicans as President Roosevelt,
the very man he and his party are en-
deavoring to keep the support of the
state away from during the next two
years of his administration.
1t is an unpleasant position for MIR.
Burke to be in. but he and his party
have placed him there and they must
abide the consequences. The failure
of the democratic campaign when
there was no opposition offered shows
Its inherent weakness When this con-
dition is confronted with a vigorous
campaign on the part of the republic
can party, the enthusiasm. If the
ever had any. will be trans

in the early spring when the rush Is
opening again.
There should be some remedy for
the suppression Of this traffic not only
at all times hut especially during the
time when the state IL filled with
strangers who come in to assist in
harvesting and threshing the crop.
Many of these men are intelligent and
honorable. and the stories they must
carry to the outside world Of the vio-
lations of the law and the crimes COM
mitted which are directly tracable to
these violations. are not calculated to
raise the state in the estimation of
strangers.
1t cannot be said that the law is
failure for it is not. II cannot be said
either that the officers are always
derelict in the discharge OF their
duties, for in many instances the
most careful investigation will not dis
close the violator. Neither can it be
said that the majority OF the people
are willing to wink at these viola
tions for that law was written into
the state constitution by the people
themselves.
But the trouble is largely due to the
fact that the punishment is not COM
mensurate with the crime. That seems
a bold statement when for the third
offense the criminal may be sent to
the state penitentiary, while the viola
states escape with punishments for
misdemeanors only. But the differ
ence lies in the fact that in such states
the public because OF the licensing OF
the traffic is morally responsible to 4
certain extent for the crimes which
are committed because Of such licens-
ing, while in our own state the pub
lie has disconnected itself entirely
from the business by prohibiting it al
together.
If the violators of the prohibition
law were compelled to work out on
the public roads of the township in
which they committed the crime. the
fines imposed by law. together with
| all the costs and expense of their
prosecution. there would be far less
men willing TO take the risk OF en-
gaging in the business The men who
conduct blind pigs are not the class
who delight in manual labor and the
disgrace OF having to work on the
public roads instead OF eating good
food and sitting by good. fires at tn.
expense of the tax payers while serv-
ing sentences in Jail would do much
to stop tho damnable business.

Pulse of the Press
From the Same source.
(Bottincau News.)

Judge Engerud gives as one OF his
reasons for staying away from the last
session OF the supreme court that
knauf was unfit to sit with because
he was nominated by convention
controlled by much hated boss. We
would like to ask how Enserud get
his nomination two years ago. and if
he didn't practically sell out his home
delegation to get that nomination: He
may have forgotten that deal with his
late stunt.
AS we have stated before. We know
nothing personally of Knauf's ability
as an attorney OF his qualifications
for the sureme court. but it looks en-
tremely hypocritical in Engerud to
critcise him. 1t also looks as though
he considers himself bigger than Il
whole host OF his fellow citizens.

Let the People Choose.

This agitation for non-partisan
judiciary may be all right; and 1t may
be the proper thing for the bar assoc.
iation to select candidates for the su-
prcme bench and the district courts
judges. But the statutes of North Da-
kota prescribe the method by which
they shall be chosen. If the people
think 1t Is the wise thing to do, then
let the Legislature change the present
law to that effect. We hear a great
deal nowadays about the choosing of
United States senators by direct vote
of the people and Il majority of the
people seem to think it a wise thing
to do. They think that it was a mis-
take of our fOrefathers to surrender
their sovereign right OF suffrage even
that far to delegate body. Why have
we lost faith in the ability of the peo-
pie to choose their judges by direct
vote, and yet have faith in their abil-
ity to choose their United States sena-
tors-a body OF men capable of max
ing" the laws the judges only Inter

TO BE CONFISCATED.
Are American Fishing Boats Seized By
Mavicn

Mexico.
Associated Press to The Evening Tlmes.
Galveston, Tex, Oct. 9.-Manager
Mum of the Gulf Fisheries of this
port stated to correspondent to-
day that instructions had been re-
ceived by the owners of boats seized
in Mexican waters, which includes
those of Pensacola and Mobile, to-
have the captains of those vessels
appear before the district judge of
Yucatan at Campeche as witnesses in
the cases of the seizures of American
vessels. The order reads that unless;
the captains appear in that court on
or before October % the vessels now
being held will be confiscated.
From the foregoing it is evident
that the four smacks which have been
taken into Vera Cruz by the Mexican
authorities charged with unlawful
fishing in Mexican territory have no,
been confiscated, as was first report.
ed, but the vessels are being held at
that port pending the outcome of the
trial. That the authorities on the
Mexican side have been moved to take.
immediate action by reason of the in
vestigation which the American am
bassadOr has been carrying on since.
the last holdup near Areas reef and
previous to that the unwarranted cap-
ture of one of the Gulf Fisheries fin.
est smacks, is evidenced by the infor-
nation which has come into the hands
of Manager Mum.
The captain of the Warren boat at
Pensacola is now in Europe and the
captain of the Gulf Fisheries boat
Lizzie b. Adams has gone out to sea
on another smack. However, he is
expected to reach here by the middle
of the month, and can, by taking a
train, appear before the Judge in Cam
peche in time to prevent the confisca-
ton of the vessel.
The smack Trafton and the other
boat, both of which belong to Pensa-
cola and Mobile firms, are without
copper protection for their hulls and
they are probably worm-eaten to a
considerable extent by this time. The
two Galveston boats are better pro-
tected, and the laying up of these YES
sels Will not necessarily injure them.
The outcome Of the affair promises
to create considerable interest for the
reason that the majority of fishing
establishments along the gulf coast
depend to a great extent upon the
Campeche bay waters for their red
snapper catch. Always keeping away
from the shore and fishing only in the
open sea, the several companies have
never before had occasion to 20 into
court to protect their industry from
what seems to be an attempt uDon the
part of the fishing trust to control
those waters and block the attempts
or the smaller firms to fish in that vi
entity.
Manager Mum has heard nothing
from the Pensacola and Mobile fisher.

In case their plants were disabled to
