Wisconsin Grain s Stock Go.

The height of the ridiculous is in
deed reached in the Herald's brazen
contention that it has ever given Law

for the furtherance of the interests of
Grand Forks. The fact Is, as can be
readily ascertained by inquiry among
those of our business men who are
zealously laboring for the advancement
and upbuilding of this city, that the
Herald, until the advent of The Even

charging full space rates for the pub

The Little Rlind Reeear.

AT the gate OF the world where the
travel flows.
And the folk stream by full-tide,
!ltt!e bling Beggar sits In the sun
And shoots afar and awide.
He fits the arrow and twangs the bow
And low in his throat laughs he:
For well he knows he will hit his
mark.
Though never a face he see.
And never his stock Of arrows fails,
For the pain Of the wound is sweet,
AND the stricken folk bring the arrows
To pile at the Begsar's feet
So he fits the arrows and twangs the
bow.
And laughs till his fingers shake
For well he knows he can never miss,
But somewhere heart must ache.
Now they who are struck. they keep
still tongue,
But they carry the arrows back.
And t aeyyos who are spared they sound
The songs of the pain they lack.
But still or singing, and grave or gay.
Through the gate Of the world they
And the little blind Begsar sits in the
And laughs as he lays them low.

READ WITH DISGUST
Lakota Republican Discusses
thhe Subject of "Loot,"
and The Herald.

Lakota, N. D., Sept. Editor Even
ing Times:-l have read the editorial
IN the Grand Forks Herald of the 9Th
inst, entitled "Hansbrough and his
newspaper" with mingled feelings Of
disgust and contempt
Boiled down the sum and substance
of this cowardly attack on our honor
ed senior senator seems to be that
Hansbrough came to North Dakota a
poor man financially and today he is
still financially poor, although the
Herald has insinuated that he was one
of the chief looters of far-off Alaska.
Now l wonder what Hansbrough has
done with all the gold which the
Herald maintains that he looted.
For one thank God that Hans
brough is not rolling in riches. as
this fact alone shows that the
Herald's looting story is as false as is
the heart from which the malicious
falsehood emenated. It, conclusively
proves to my mind that the Herald
boss is writing for effect and not for
the truths sake.
The Herald's closing quotation in
regard to the senator's invalid mother
clearly shows to what vile depths some
men will descend in order to salts
~ the cravings of petty and reveng-
ful nature; no one will believe the
contemplate insinuation-not even
the writer thereof.

destitute widows and orphans who lost
their all in the looting OF the Grand
Forks National bank by 20 per cent

aches of these looted depositors could

block. which their savings of years
helped to pay for, what picture It

4 PROPER AMENDMENT.

Three amendments to the state con-
stitution will be voted on at the coming
election. One of these, and probably
the most important, is that relating to
the sale of state school lands where
such lands are required for townsite
purposes.
Under the present provisions of the
constitution these lands can only be
sold on a contract plan, the maturing
OF which requires twenty years. While
the title to such lands may be trans
ferred by contract it is not only cum
bersome but it is not at all satisfactory
to investors who desire to make cost
ly improvements on the property. On
farm lands where the transfers are
few and where large qualities of land
are usually included in such trans
fers, the matter of. title is not so i'm
portant. But in towns where the con-
veyances include only lots, and where
the number is SO large the method be-
comes nuisance.
The amendment provides that when
state school lands are required for
townsite purposes, the state may make
sale of the same and perfect the title
to the purchaser at once.
In state developing as rapidly as
North Dakota is the demand for new
townsites is imperative. No part Of
the state can become a rich farming
section until the building of the rail-
roads to carry the products of the farm
to the market. The country remains
undeveloped until they are built.
With the construction of the rail-
roads comes the demand for town
sites, and in their location the whole
contributory country is interested. The
fact that the sites desired are often
school lands in many instances pre-
vents them from being located where
they will be for the best interests of
the communities. The adoption Of the
proposed amendment will obviate the
necessity of making such locations at
improper points on the plea that the
title to the land can not be had.

BEAUTIFYING THE SCHOOL ROOM.

School officers and sometimes school
teachers are 10th to expend a little
money or labor in identifying the
school rooms, considering it some
thing of a waste. They do not realize
that much of the character building
Is of an absorbing nature; that the
environment of the child during nine
months of the year has much to do
with the moulding of its character.
There is reason for the desire to
surround ourselves with all that is
beautiful and pleasing. Men do not
often build fine houses and surround

FOR GOOD ROADS.

A few years ago the legislature of
New York passed what was common
ly known as the Higbie-Armstrong act
for the improvement of the public
highways of the state, and the matter
was placed under the supervision of
the state engineer for the working out
of system by which the most travel
ed roads should be made as near per-
feet as possible while those which
were less frequently used should be
built in accordance with the travel
which they would have to sustain.
TIL plan worked out by the state en-
gineer was for a graduated system
which when completed would cover
the state with net work of highways
affording every advantage for travel
possible.
A map has just been prepared by the
engineer covering many of the re-
quirements of the law 1t is to ac-
company the state engineers report
to the legislature, and when approx
ed by that body will establish the
limits under which the proceeds of
the bond issue provided for building
these roads will be expended, The
map is based upon series of county
maps, showing the system of highways
IN each county, which, intercommuni-
eating across county boundaries, will
constitute the highway system 1f the
state.
This map shows 692 miles of i'm
proved roads already completed; 1850
miles. plans for which have been ap-
proved by the various boards of
supervisors and $3.50 miles whose i'm
provement is recommended by the
state engineer to form complete
system of improved roads for the
state.
From reports of the departments
road inspectors it is estimated that
there are about 67,579 miles of high
ways in constant use. and 1909 miles
of side or cross roads seldom used.
The reports show also that, exclusive
OF the roads improved under the
Higbie-Armstrong act, about 1854
miles of highways have been surfaced
with gravel, 1901 with crushed stone,
while about 99,O45 have been shaped
and crowned. The state engineer re-
cards the work of road improvement
as progressing more than satisfactorily.
Minnesota has likewise enacted a
law which, while not so comprehensive
as that OF New York, serves as a
foundation for the building up of a
great state highway system. North
Dakota needs good roads more than
almost any other state, because her
products must be carried over them
to the railways in order to reach the
market. 1t would certainly not be I'M
wise for the legislature to provide for
the primary work of this kind so that
as the state develops, the work can be
perfected.

North Dakota has one of the few
systems in its penitentiary which does
not conflict with the interests of the
people of the state. The making of
Irvine not only saves the wheat grow
ers of the state from the clutches of
the trust but gives the product to them
at lower price than would be pos
sible without the system of manufac-
turing in the state penitentiary. 1t
was certainly good business stateman-
ship which was exercised when the
plan was inaugurated.

The application OF the Plat amend

is a matter of considerable moment in
this country. The revolution itself

every one which has been launched
in the Latin American states for de-
cades.

Every man who pursues a course of
dishonesty in his daily dealings with
others not only suspects his fellow
man of being similarly tainted with
crookedness, but constantly applies his
evil mind in scheming to drag others
down to his own level. This is all the
more reprehensible and more danger
Gus to the community when the work is
done under a cloak of responsibility.

were no more tramps to be found with

Suffering from what appears to be
an incurable attack of Hansbrough-
phobia the Herald has not hesitated
to personally Willy not only the senior
senator but nearly all of those who
have appeared to be friendly to him or
to his interests. by every conceivable
means however untruthful and dispic-
able. Yet, when the vulnerability o.
its hypocritical publisher is assailed
and the undisputed proof of his dis
honesty furnished, it at once proceeds
to raise the cowardly cry that per
sonalit1es" are being INDUCED in,
thereby hoping to create an unmerited
sympathy in his behalf. If there is any
means too low or too vile for the
Herald to adopt in order to compass its
selfish ends the same is not by any
manner of means apparent, and has
undoubtedly not occurred to the fecu-
lent mind OF its sanctimonious pub
Usher or to the minds of his corps of
disreputable flunkies.

The Herald is right for once in as
suming that up to the present time The
Evening Times has cost its proprietors
something like $4,000 or $50,OOO."
In this connection it may be of public
interest to state that every dollar thus
expended has been, so far as We are
aware, honestly come by. Certain it is
that not one cent of the entire amount
alluded to by the hypocritical Herald
has been filched from the savings of
needy widows and orphans, neither
has it been stolen from the taxpayers
of the state through the medium of
criminally illegal public printing COM
bines. Therein, at least, The Evening
Times radically differs from the whited
sepulchre which now impudently pre-
sumes to sit in judgment upon it.

Henry Hornstine's two sons last
week caught fox by a resort to
sharp tricks. They had located Mr..
Renard's place OF abode and set q
large number of traps around It.
The following morning they arose
early and discovered his foxship
out looking for bis breakfast. They
took their dog along and approached
as close as they deemed expedient
to the fox, who was near his hole.
The dog was then tied to a.stake,
and the boys deployed to right and
left and approached the fox, who
seeing himself surrounded decided
to seek safety in his own snug
quarters, but in is fright he lost is
customary cunning and was
caught in one of the traps. The

day his mate was caught in one Of
