WHERE THEY STAND.

II there was ever any doubt in the
minds of the masses of the republican
party of this state that the object and
purpose of the party disruptionists was
to assist the democratic party into
power in the state and so far as the
state delegation is concerned. in the
nation as well, it would be interesting
for them to read the editorial in the
Tuesdays issue of the Herald. which
is the authoritative spokesman of the
disruptionists, from which the follow
ing excerpts are taken:
Some Of our democratic friends take
the position that the success of the
republican machine is to be preferred
to the success of the opposite faction.
This view is not likely to govern the
actions of the rank and file of the
democratic party.
From these it will be readily seen
in which direction the wind is blow
ing. From the very inception Of the
present campaign this policy has been
carefully pursued. The actual facts
have been kept from the republican
voters and the appeals to them have
bsen made on the grounds Of imaginary
nesded reforms. Those who we're
severity seeking the ruination Of the
republican party were profuse in their
declarations that the party orsanisa-
ron would be- destroyed without In

BOOMING THE STATE.

The state agricultural department
has prepared to fill a long felt want
in the matter of developing North Da-
kota by the publication of magazine
which is to be devoted exclusively to
the exploiting Of the advantages of
the state. The magazine promises
much, and the fact that it is issued
under the auspices Of the state would
indicate that it will have better
lease of life than many of its predeces-
sors, which have been launched in the
state to live precarious lives and later
lie in unmarked graves
However It is not with the char
acter OF the publication as literary
production that this article is concern
ed, though It should be said in passing
that the men behind the enterprise are
especially equipped both in literary
ability and mental power to guarantee
its success. The effect of the publfca-
ton upon the outside world and its
influence in directing attention TO the

Among the Leaders.

Senator McCumber has made a
most enviable record on railroad rate
legislation. 1t is understood he has
received some few letters from North
Dakota criticising his action and tell
ing him to get in line with the presi-
dent, but it now appears that he has
been in line with the president all
the time. The papers of New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, and Baltimore
have spoken of him in the highest
terms and have recognized him as one
OF the leading men of the senate, in
fact they have gone so far as to in
clude him in their cartoons as the
man who is fighting the trusts and
monopolies. OF course, Senator Hans
brough is with Senator McCumber in
these matters, and now that the rate
bill is finished, there can be no ques-
ton but that the North Dakota dele
cation was strictly on the right side
OF the proposition from start to
finish, and that the full discussion
that has been given this bill by the
senate has been most beneficial, for
the reason that it has brought ont
many points, such as the organization
of the commission, the private car
lines, the abuses of rebates. the
abuse of passes. the connection of
railroad with mining and manufac-
turing, and the hundred other points
that were never touched upon in the
house when this bill was under dis
cussion there. AS matter of fact
the Hepburn bill, when 1t left the
house, was rather crude and in
definite. For its purpose it was all
right as it was merely intended as an

STATE COMMENT

The Grand Forks Herald is advocat-
ing reform. 1t wants the present re-
publican organization of this state, the
organization that has obtained such
splendid republican majorities, dis
rupted. 1t wants the present state
and congressional officers turned out
because they are corrupt. 1t brings
no specific charges of wrong-doing
against any of these officials, but its
editor dislikes these officials person.
ally, and wants them removed from
office. This self-appo.2ted boss claims
to be an honorable man, pure and up
right in every walk of life, and that all
who oppose him in his effort to tear
down are venal and corrupt. The
record of this man who claims SO much
goodness for himself-who has set
himself upon high and lofty pedestal
of purity and uprightness, far above
the heads of the ordinary mortal, is a
proper subject for investigation. The
Evening Times has asked this great
reformer to explain his connection
with an unlawful combination formed
for the purpose Of looting the state
treasury on printing contracts He
does not deny his participation In the
footing of the state treasury, but
claims that Hansbrough is also guilty
for appointing him to a land Office;
that If there was an unlawful print
er's combine and the treasury was
looted many of the state officials must
have been connected with 1t, and as
they have been reelected several
times the "old gang" are incompetent
managers because they help elect dis
honest men to ONCE. This is the brill
liant logic used by this wabbly self
appointed insurgent boss to wiggle out
of the tight hole he has gotten into.
How could the state oficials know

1lllSDOfO, n. H., May Y, l9U6.
Mr.. F. E. Packard, Herald Special Cor
respondent, Grand Forks, N. D.
Sir: Yours of the goth inst. from
jamestown duly received.
The papers stating your interview
with me was written are in error, and
your article, SO far as it relates to
what l said, is substantially correct.
However, l cannot but feel that the
comments made by you after having
quoted what / said, were made with
considerable prejudice. Many of your
statements were f1agrantly wrong, and
the article written from western Trail
(POrtlanO contained decidedly I'M
warranted false reports concerning
me. l was not on the Good Seed train
at Portland, having returned to Hills
boro the day before. There was also
no bill introduced, even, making ap-
preparation for carriages and horses
for my use, as you state. The now
"insurgent," Ex-Governor White, was
the beneficiary under that bill and it
was especially passed for his personal
benefit at time when the state abso-
lutely needed the money for then ex-
listing emergencies.
You state zone of the principal rea-
sons for the anti-Sarles sentiment in
Trail Is his unfulfilled promises to
men who supported him two and four
years ago." This is absolutely un-
true. Your reference to the recent
Hillsboro city election is an abortiye
misstatement. You say Governor
Sarles made the mistake two years ago
of making promiscous promises Of
various petty offices when he was
morally certain that he would not be
allowed to distribute any of the state
patronage of any consequence in the
county" I'm the face of this
he made many promises, solicited or
otherwise, and has filled practically
none Of them" And this ia
real factor in the present fight for re-
nomination." etc. No man in Trail
county could truthfully have made
such statement to you, and permit
me to express my opinion to you, sir,
that no Trail county man did make
any such statement to you; and IL SO,
/ insist that you substantiate your as
sertion by producing the name of your
informant. Whoever 1t may have
been, brand the statement as viii
full falsehood. N.
You say "all You want is a square
deal" Are you willing to do unto
others as you would have them do unto
you? Possibly, but your article can
not be so construed, II your truthful
tendencies in the past when (as 1 am
informed)~ you felt called upon to
preach the gospel were as easily warp
ed as they are In your present occupa-
ton Of Herald special correspondent,
then the reason for your disseminating
the ministry is quite apparent. I
admire an honest man; but no one
has more contempt for one Of dis
honest propensities. and In your case
feel justified IN the question, Under
which nag are you enlisted =
You attack my integrity, sir, and you

resources and opportunities of the
state are the matters which will most
concern the reading and thinking
people.
People sometimes wonder at the en-
ormous emigration to the Canadian
northwest, and ask why the people
have become so much enthused over
that country. The reason is not far
to seek. For several years the
Canadian government has kept at the
public expense, an army of govern
ment agents in the prominent centres
from which immigrants would likely
be secured. These men have not been
agents of any locality, nor have they
been in any manner concerned in the
sale of land This has given them a
standing for impartiality and fairness
which has commanded universal
respect. Moreover they have had the
details of the country they were repre-
sentins at their fingers tips so that
the man who was on the lookout for
a home or an investment was able to
procure from them the very informa-
ton he needed and of the most reliable
character
Nor did they rely entirely upon the
oral explanations. The Canadian gov
eminent has been remarkably good
judge of human nature. 1t has recog-
nized the fact that many peole are
only convinced after careful deliber-
alton, and that what these people read
and absorb around their own fire.
sides possesses convincing force
which nothing else does. The govern
ment has therefore supplied these
agents with every class of literature
needed in their work. 1t is not the
cheaply printed stuff that is too often
used but the very best in both matter
and workmanship.
The homeseeker who comes in con-
tact with one of these agents is given
glowing outline of the advantages
of the country and then furnished with
full supply of the literature which
fills in the details and when he has
read and pondered over the matter
carefully he is usually convert and
in a few months is on the road for
what he believes is the promised land
his Eldorado.
In reaching that land he in all prob
ability passes better countries than
that to which he is bound. But he
passes them because he has been
educated about the one and not about
the other.
No fault can be found with the
Canadian government in reference to
the methods it has used to people it's
vast plains with Industrious farmers.
1t has shown commendable enterprise.
1t is incumbent on North Dakota now
to recover some Of her lost prestage
and begin a campaign of education in
behalf of the people who should come
to this state to make their homes.
1t is not practical at this time for
the state to follow the plan of the
Canadian government and employ a
large number of aggressive agents.
But it can reach thousands of people
through the medium of the magazine
which the agricultural department will
publish. 1t will in this way do a vast
amount Of good.
But if it would accomplish this pur-
pose it must rise above the standard
of medical almanac. and must con-
tain matter which is of interest to the
public at large, not little quibs which
have only local import. If it meets
this requirement it will serve
valuable purpose and be of inestimable
good to the state.
