The present course of the Herald in
abJectly fawning upon Senator La
Moure-having SO little conception of
the true character of the man as to
suppose that he can be favorably in
fiuenced to its selfish schemes by such
puerile methods-cannot be other than
extremely nauseating to the Pembina
chieftain, who is by far too old and
sagacious bird in the field of politics
to be attracted by such an extremely
poor quality of chaff. For years past
the Herald has, by it's characteristic
method of covert hints and vague in
nuendoes, never missed an opportun-
ity to treacherously stab LaMoure in
the back, as it has-at one time or
another in lesser degree-nearly
every public man of prominence in the
state whom it failed to cajole or coerce
to its reprehensible way of thinking.
The Herald's ability to change it's
policy to suit the needs of it's hypocri-
tical publisher will long stand un-
rivaled in modern feats of political
legerdemain.

Their Last Fight.
[Minot Reporter.l

1t is not hard to see the motive
that lies behind the sending out of
hundred of "blued penciled" marked
copies of an insurgent paper from
Grand Forks which contain false state
ments OF the strength of the insur-
gents in the state convention. When
one reads in that paper that Ward
county is in doubt" and knows that
the other statements are as untrue,
he can we'll divine what campaign
of this class will lead up to.
OF course it is unfair to presume
that all of the men who took part
in the lost cause of the insurgents are
in any manner connected with this
latest movement, nevertheless it were
we'll to give the widest publicity to
this unfounded and dishonest attempt
to mislead the delegates. There can
be but one intention on the part of
the instigators. 1t is to leave the inn
preston that the insurgents have
some real strength and with misrep-
resentation, contrasting delegations,
confusing portrayal of fraud and the
use of political chicanery endeavor to
cause bolt in the jamestown conven-
ton.
If the interest of the Straight Re-
publican organization in is to be
paramount as an issue, then it were
we'll to be wary, as the enemy are
on the alert and will make their
death struggle as desperate as pos
sible.

PLAYING IN THE STREETS.

One of the dangerous practices per-
mitted in the city is that of allowing
the children to play in the streets.
If there were not abundant yard room
and other play grounds besides the
streets there would be abundant ex-
cuse for the custom.
The little folks do not interfere with
the public and it is not for the purpose
Of destroying their pastimes that the
suggestion is made. But the danger is
to the children themselves. Passing
vehicles do not give as much concern
to things of this kind as they should
and the attention of the children upon
their play often prevents them from
seeing danger until 1t is upon them.
There are some uses made of the
streets Of this city, however, which
should not be permitted. It is not an
uncommon sight to see older boys
and sometimes men engaged in a game
Of ball ssa the street, and the wild
attempts at catching the sphere would
indicate that there are about ths
proverbial ninsty-nine chances In i

THE BIALYSTOk OUTBREAK.
IN n. Jewell,
Secretary.

There is one useful function of the
Russian Duma. and this is to give an
account of events in Russia that will
be believed. The cars men, from the
imposing Stoessel to that unpreten-
tious old Cossack commander General
Linevitch, have been so habitually un-
fortunate in the use of their visual Or
gans, or in their professed compre-
hension of causes, that most persons
who read their reports have long felt
the need of waiting for verification.
The Duma men are new men, with
eyes undimmed by a professional at
titude, with nothing behind them to
twist their conclusions and with all
the courage that comes from inexper-
fence. For the first time in a good
many years there is one institution
be trusted to tell the straight hrdlu
in Russia whose members can
be trusted to tell the straightforward
truth to the best of their natural
ability. This is the reason why the
act of the Duma, in sending a COM
mittee of its own members to Bialystok
to see what had happened in that un-
happy town, and to ascertain the
causes Of the murders and plundering
done there last week-was as satisfac-
tory to the outside world as 1t doubt
loss was to the mass Of Russians.
This Duma committee has of course
not yet made its report, and the Duma
itself has shown good quality Of self
control by deferring all discussion Of
he subject until the report Is received.
But certain members Of the committee
have sent individual kilograms; and
among these members il H. Jacobson,
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1906-06-28

from whose report we gather these
particulars:
Seventy-eight Jews and six Chris
tians have been buried up to noon yes
Iterday. The majority of the dead
were killed with bayonets or rifle bull
lets. The total of the dead has not yet
been established. The city council has
unanimously declared that the massa-
ere was not the result of race hatred,
but was due to provocation, and the
troops and police participated in the
outrages. The reports that Jews and
revolutionists attacked the inhabitants
are false.
This statement indicates a contrived
and Systematically organized massacre,
very much as a mass meeting or some
similar assembly would be proposed
and organized in free land. Just why
this butchery was contrived and Or
ganized at this particular moment and
with official connivance If not by Off
cial direction, is not yet clear. 1t may
have been from the mere lust of rob-
bery-a lust that is becoming more
and more prevalent in Russia every
week; or it may have been started for
the purpose of discrediting the Duma,
by showing that it had not brought
peace to Russia. We shall be sur
prised if the final report does not show
that politics-such politics as the Rus
sian bureaucracy know and practice
in the cars behalf-was the main
cause of it.

TANNERS FEARLESS FIGHT.

The visit of Corporal Tanner to the
state encampment of the North Dakota
Grand Army of the Republic at E's-
marck recalls some of the interesting
as we'll as the most loved comradc
who has filled the Office since the ia
stitution of the order and that is Say
ing much, for some noble men have
filled the position.
Corporal Tanner will probably be
longest remembered because of his
work as commissioner of pensions in
the Harrison administration. He in
augurated system of granting per
sions without the technical proof that
would be required in court of 'nw
to prove a land title according to the
rules of the common law. His decis.
ions and rulings were more those OF
equity and justice to the men whose
hardships he had shared.
He was too far in advance of the
sentiment of the times and SO was re-
tired. But in the work he did he ln,.l
the foundation for the recognition by
| the country of the rights of tn"
country's defenders by proper legs-
lation. His granting of pensions by
liberal construction of the law forcel
congress and the country to recognize
the rights of the veterans to pensions
which they could not have possibly
rigid construction which prevailed at
the time.
In the passing of the service ,sE-
sion law and the modification of many
of the old laws SO DIS to accept proof
of disability from other witnesses thar
those who were in all probability dead
congress silently acknowledged the
justice of Tanners conduct of the Of
flee while he was commissioner,
though he had in a large measure
made his own laws.
He was one man who had the in
terest of his comrade in arms at heart
and who in Office was just as loyal to
them as he was loyal to his country
on the field of battle. He educated
the country to the needs of the soldiers
and the justice of their cause. He
showed that they were not paupers
and in demanding pensions common
surate with their deeds they were only
demanding part of what the country
owed them.
He did work which the country
has silently accepted as right and has
substantially recognized as the criter-
ion for its treatment of the old SOL
diers. His name will long be remem-
bered as the most aggressive cham
pion of the cause of the men who
wore the blue in the public forum.

NEEDS ITEMIZING

The law requires county auditors
to publish an abstract of the meetings
of the boards of county commission
ers for the purpose of giving the tax
payers of the county an opportunity
OF determining whether or not the
public money is being properly ex-
pended.
The Gust of this publication is q
considerable item in the county's
budget and if the value of the eX-
penditure is realized by the tax pay
ers, the abstract should contain infur.
nation which is intelligent.
AS a rule the principal thing which
concerns the people of the county is
the expenditure of the money of the
people. The building of roads are not
matters of local concern except where
money is taken from the treasury for
the building. The people know of the
action of the board long before the
official proceedings reach the printer
The same is true of other matters of
local importance. But every man in
the county is interested in the manner
in which his money is expended.
In the majority of the counties this
is the very thing which the published
minutes do not tell. An inspection of
the official proceedings will show that
not one time in twenty do they show
the articles which constituted the bill
which was paid. The entire amount
of the bill is given and the person to
whom it is paid, but whether the payee
received the money for two days work
on the public highway or for ten, or
whether forty yards of linoleum were
furnished for the court house or only
four, the minutes are as silent as the
grave.
No man would settle bill without
knowing something Of the items which
constitute that bill. Yet the people
pay annually thousands of bills with
out the people whose money they are
expanding knowing an toto about what
was received for the money expended.
1t might be said in answer to this
that the commissioners are honest and
that the people trust them with the
public money and expect them to spend
It In answer It could DO said IL the
tax payers did not need to protect
their interests there would b no need

What is the Motive.
jamestown Alert.l

Notwithstanding that the regular
republican candidates were SO hand
somely endorsed by the election of q
large majority of delegates to the
state convention at the primary, few
leaders of the insurgents combination
at Fargo and Grand Forks are dying
hard. The majority of the republic
cans who voted with the insurgents
are not now out bowling against the
party or its leaders, but believing in
majority rule, accept the situation
and will give the partys nominees
loyal support.
But the Spalding- Winship coterie
cannot be quiet. They keep up a fu-
sillade Of rOasts and attacks on the
party organization, and set forth all
sorts of ridiculous claims as to the re-
suits of the election.
The Grand Forks Herald is trying
to make its readers believe that the
regular organization leaders are
scrapping and that the organization
itself is about to be disrupted after it
has won victory. The Herald urges
the insurgents to stand out and fight
the party after the voters have sus-
tanned it. From party standpoint
this Is suicidal policy, but the rank
ness of the methods employed by the
state insurgent leaders in the cam
paign seems to warrant their following
out any kind of policy after the pri-
mary as we'll as before, to gain their
ends.
The Herald says to all insurgent
delegates-"Stand patti" While the
insurgents delegates are in a large
minority Spalding shouts: Don't
give I'M"
The Herald is trying to make Jud
La Moure an enemy to the party and
quotes what is most likely reporters
invention in ST. Paul, that La Moure
is favoring insurgent practices. All
of these show the fact that reform
leaders SO called are in desperate
straits and are willing to do anything
to rescue themselves after the voters
have decided against them.
What is the object of trying to
round up the insurgent delegates for
all questions and schemes by means
of Misrepresentation and post-cam-
paign lies? What is the object Of the
Herald clique telling the people that
the insurgents have majority or will
have majority of the delegates,
when the tables of the returns from
all over the state, show that the regu-
lars have majority ranging from Is
| to 100 delegates in the convention,
elected on the direct issues of the
campaign? 1t is asserted by the men,
bers of the regular organization that
the straight republicans will have 1872
votes, when it comes to show down.
The insurgent leaders probably have
concealed some motive they are not
willing to acknowledge. For efforts
are being made to round up the stray
insurgent delegate and get him in a
corral for some purpose known only TO
the insurgent campaign manager with
a desperate cause to rescue from over
whelming defeat. With all the pro-
testations of reform and clean poll
tics put forth by the Winship-Spa
ing combine, it could not be that any
scheme for corrupting delegates was
In view. Perish the thought!

hundred for it to hit passerby in the

One Of the most potent and con-
vincing arguments in favor of the re-
nomination Of Governor Sarles, and
the one that will appeal most strongly
to all honest and fair minded men, is
to be found in the fact that in the dis
charge of his official duties he has
somehow succeeding in mourning the
undying opposition and hatred of such
discredited sheets as the Grand Forks
