chaos The man who in party or ma
ton attempts to descry the value of
the will of the majority is an anarch.
list and dangerous individual.
1t is a matter of pride that the av-
erage voter is too honest and too hon.
orable to pursue any other than the
course indicated above and when he
has submitted his case to his fellow
citizens and they have pronounced an
adverse verdict he accepts it and
abides by the judgment of his peers.
Not SO the leaders who have some
ulterio motive for their support or
party fealty. They are never willing
to be governed by the majority for
their cause being wrong the people
will not knowingly support it. Then
when the verdict is rendered these
leaders for the purpose of retaining
position for the furtherance of their
personal designs set up a pitiful cry
for consideration.

MINOT HAS 5000.
City's Growth Rapid With Gain 0
1000 During the Past Year.

Special to, The Evening Times.
Minot, N. D.. June 25.-Minot has
over 5000 people and there is every
indication that it will have, 10000 in
two years. ~ s W
Judge William Murray. who has just
finished taking an assessment of the
personal property in the city, reports
that there are more than 5000 people
in Minot. A year ago there was a few
hundred less than 5000 so that the
gain has been remarkable.
Every building of any description in
the city is occupied. Many who would
like to live in. fine houses have been
compelled to live in shacks, not be-
cause they cannot afford something
better but because there is nothing
better in sight.
There has also been a substantial
increase in the amount Of personal
property. &s
''Minot will be the largest city in the
state in few years." said Mayor
Greenleaf. "The growth of the city is
remarkable. There is no let up to 1t.
The city is forging ahead by leaps and
bounds" 81

A POLITICAL THOUGHT.

An aroused public conscience has
smitten the political leaders of this
state who having been emphatically
repudiated at the polls. are now seek
ing to hang on to the coupling pole
of the band wagon sufficiently to Sc
cure recognition to secure some posi-
ton from which they can continue
their policy of looting the tax payers
unmolested. T
There is room in the republican
party for every man who in his con-
science believes in its principles and
is willing to aid in it's perpetuation
But there is no place for those who
seek to use it only for their personal
gains. and ends. no. matter whether
they sit on the back stoop or not. III
Those who have sought to disrupt
the party and are now seeking to
secure sufficient standing to do so
after scathing rebuke by the peo-
pie at the polls must understand that
the republican party is greater than
any one man and that those who have
served both it and the state faithful
ly can not be set aside to satisfy the
whimperings Of those who have ap-
pealed to public and been defeated.
The great underlying principle Of
this government is that the majority
shall rule. This principle has become
an unwritten law in the respectable
political parties of the country. which
are nothing more than the primary
expression Of the will Of the people.
Whenever question 10 submitted to
the public and il rejected BY that SUI
preme tribunal all intelligent men rec
ogniss the validity Of the verdict and
submit They may not change tAair
visws but they accept the rule Of the
majority - tie expressed law Of tho
party. -.:5 's'tl

rights which they had merely sur
rendered century before, yet in that
surrendering they took bold issue with
the nation which had been the govern
ing power.
But they did not rashly throw down
the gauntlet of war and as is usual
in such circumstances appeal to the
god of arms. On the contrary they
engaged in a war of intellect and
with justice for their banner. submit
ted their claims to the Swedish power
and incidentally to the world at large.
The contest which followed was one
of mental power and the leaders were
giants The victory was not less
significant because of the manner
in which it was won than it would
have been had its success been indi-
Gated with the corpses of a thousand
battle fields.
The separation of Norway from
Sweden was natural and logical
thing. The very fact that both peo-
Piles came from the same racial stock
really emphasized the desirability of
it, for it has ever been the rule that
unless they be exactly agreed two
branches of one race cannot live to-
gether in amity, but are more likely
TO quarrel than aliens. Beyond doubt
there were radical and irremediable
differences between these two which
| made it impossible for them to remain
friendly while thus artifcially yoked
together, even though the king did
strive impartially to promote the well
fare Of both. The moment, however,
the political bond was broken the
power of those differences for mischief
vanished, and there is now no reason
why the two should not become and
permanently continue the best of
friends.
We must regard the accession and
coronation of Haakon VII, then, not
only as the realization of Norway's
legitimate ambition, upon which that
nation Is warmly to becongratulated,
but also as suspicious of much good
to all the Scandinavian peoples. The
three nations are now all entirely sep
arate and Independent, yet they are
more closely united in sympathy and
spirit than they have been for cen
turies-since their first division. That
sturdy and adventurous race has
played a great part in the drama of
more than thousand years and has
splendidly emblazoned history with
such names as those of Canute, Left,
Olaf, Haakon, Charles and Gustavus.
Yet today it seems still to be vital
with the energies of youth. AS though
its home were a new country in the
west instead of some of the Oldest
lands of Europe. 1t is with bright
prospects that Haakon and Maud have
begun their reign, and the world will
rejoice to see those prospects amply
realized. e

Ex-Congressman Spalding cries
fraud" as the only means of explain
ing away his defeat in his home city,
precinct, ward and county. The ,ex-
congressman has always been poor
loser. Having exhausted every means
in the category of political expedients
in an attempt to defeat the regular or
ganization and having been defeated
both in his county and in the state,
the ex-congressman seeks to hide be-

more gracefully might Mr.. spalding

as expressed at the polls and an

the result, as all good republicans
should. But Mr.. Spalding has not
been noted either for grace or gen.

THE DUMA AND THE JEWS.

In dispatching parliamentary
commission to inquire into the mas
sacre of the Jews at Bialystok the
Duma has assumed a function which
may prove as important as legislation
itself. 1t offers medium for the in
vestigation of dark deeds perpetrated
by permission of authority and holds
out the hope of parliamentary pro-
lection against such outrages. 1t is
true that for the present the Parlia-
ment is powerless, but it is certain
to acquire increasing power, whether
Welded by or wrested from the gov
eminent, and in this lies the hope of
prevention. If the officials were re-
sponsible to the popular legislature
they would not dare to aid and abet
the mob, since they would be held ac-
countable for their dereliction The
official crimes committed under des-
potism would be impossible under
popular government.
The report of the parliamentary
commission agrees in substance with
the detailed account from representa-
tives of the Associated Press. This
shows that the attack on the Jews
was aided by the police and troops,
who either stood idly by during the
massacre or fired upon such Jews as
were defending themselves, render
ing them the easier prey to the mob.
The brutality of the attack is said to
have exceeded in inhumanity and
fiendishness any previous massacre.
Although it is denied that the gov
eminent had knowledge of the fact
it is declared that the onslaught had
been carefully prearranged and was
carried out with the connivance of the
police and the troops. In corrobora-
ton OF this it need only be recalled
how swiftly the power of the author

outbreak with the fact that the Bialy-

fortunately, can be expected in that
direction after the miscarriage of JUS

can be hoped for is that the triumph
of liberalism will be fastened and fu-

MUSIC FOR
FAIR WEEK.
First Regiment, Minot and
Putnam Bands to be at
Fargo.
Special to The Eyeninx Tine.,

Special to The Evening Times.
Fargo, June 25.-There will be
music galore at the state fair to be
held here next month.
Three bands have practically been
engaged by the fair management for
the entire week and. in addition, the
amusement company that will show
here during the week will have band
on the fair grounds every day during
the fair.
The terms of the Minot band and
the First Regiment band of Lisbon.
have been accepted and today secre-
tary Wilson of the state fair associa-
ton is sending out contracts to be
signed and returned. DR.. Putnam has
made proposition to the state fair
week and the state fair people have
accepted. The contract will probably,
be signed late this afternoon.
The Minot band will come here:
twenty-five strong. while the First
Regiment band will number thirty
musicians. DR.. Putnam's band will be
made up of twenty five musicians.
The First Regiment band is we'll
known throughout the state. The band
has been in attendance at the military
encampments for the past few years
and enjoys an enviable reputation as
a first-class musical organization. The
band has recently been greatly
strengthened and Director Will Wall
ace has informed the state fair man
agenlent that he has recently secured
large amount of new music. The
Minot band. under the direction of
Harry Rudd. formerly of this city, is
a new organization but includes a
number of musicians who have been
greatly praised by tn newspapers in
the northern part of the state.
DR.. Putnam's band has only been
recently organized. but the few con-
certs which have recently been given
here by the band has established. 1t
high in the opinion of musical critics
in this city.
The engagement of the three bands
indicates clearly that the state fair
management proposes to spare no ex-
pense in making the fair here one Of
the most memorable in the history of
the state. More money will be spent
by the fair association on music dur
ing the week than has ever been
known in the history of fairs in the
state, and the action of the fair as
sociation is generally approved by
citizens who are interested in the
success of the state fair for Fargo.

"A NILE STONE IN HISTORY.

Secretary.

Those who had prophesied that evil
would come to the Norwegian people
before the formal GROWING of their
chosen king and the complete estab-
lishme4t Of their new government
have received their final discontinue.
With the approval of the nations of
the world and amid the popular ac-
claim Of his own subjects the final act
in the drama which has given the
Norwegian people an envied place
among the nations of the earth, has
been presented.
The people of the race which has
been famous since the time of Canute
and Left have given another exhibi-
ton of their sturdy worth in the man
ner in which they have settled one of
the gravest questions of modern times.
It 10 not often that the bonds which
have held two peoples together as
one nation can be severed in a day
without the shedding of blood or the
firing Of single gun. Yet that was
waat was done when the Norwegians
asserted their rights and became a

Many of the stones range from so to

Of them have sold as high as $500

A CREDIT TO THE STATE.

One of the greatest matters of pub
lie interest now before the American
public is the question of pure food.
1t surpasses that of rate legislation,
for the general public was only con-
cerned in that in an indirect manner.
Not so the pure food question. That
comes directly to the home of nearly
every citizen. 1t is full of interest
to every one who uses the prepared
foods which now constitute large
part of the food supply of the masses.
1t is something worth being proud
Of that in the fight for this reform
North Dakota was the formost leader.
1t was among the first states to enact
stringent and comprehensive pure food
laws. and the heroic and fearless man
ner in which the law has been enforced
was one Of the means of convincing
the. country of the true character Of
the foods which were being put on the
market by the manufacturers. 80 !.
Once the fact became established
through the exposures in this state
that many of the prepared foods were
impure or adulterated. other states
began to take notice and to invest-
gate. Investigation in this INSTANCE
meant conviction.
It is not improbable that the, re-
cent investigation of the horrible de-
tails Of the fifth Of the packing houses
received it's impetus in the proof
which North Dakota offered to the
country.
Those who have sought to detract
from the fair name Of the state by
charging It with being run in the In
terests OF individuals are not honest
or honorable enough to give its leg

law in the country nor it, servants

tinsat 70 ths other.
