Pike, Lincoln and Audrain Mu-
sical Association convened with
Gazette people. First session was
held at 2 p m, Thursday, Aug. 80,
with large crowd. President j.
L. Gentle was on hand early and
the convention started out with
snap and enthusiasm which was
characteristic thruout the entire
session. Quite number on the
program were absent at first ses-
sion but home talent was substi-
tuted, making a good meeting.
Friday there were three sessions
and all were marked with great in.
terest. There was a very large
crowd all day Friday. One, no.
ticeable feature was the eagerness
of the people in taking their seats
in the church an hour before time
to begin the program.
At the business meeting Friday
W. 8. Barbee was, chosen presi.
dent, j. b. Clark, vice president,

three violin solos which were hig h.
ly appreciated.
The barnyard song by Mt. Oil
vet choir was as much enjoyed as
ever.

An amusing incident happened
while Mrs. McNulty was rendering
a lullaby. Just at the close, when
all was very quiet and we imag-
ined the baby was sound asleep. a
child gave a scream,
Gazette people know how to en-
tertain and make all feel at home.
Pleasant Plains male quartet
were we'll received.
The piana solos by Misses Roxy

key note when she said the choirs

other and having a good time.

The International League of
Press Clubs has been holding its
annual meeting in Denver this
week. AT the election of officers
Edward Keating, present Manag
ing Editor of the Denver News,
was elected President for the en-
suing term. Among other i'm
portant business transacted was
the consideration of the estab

gether with perpetual water rights
as a site for the home.

IT may interest some of our
readers to know that Mr.. Rookie
Teller as owner of Standard Oil
has taken an option on all the
Peoria distilleries. The dena-
tured alcohol bill was believed to
be dangerous to Standard Oil Oh
account of decreasing the use of
gasoline. Therefore Standard Oil
widens it's operations and pro-
poses to produce the alcohol. AS
incidental thereto they will man.

denatured. The money will be
as eagerly sought by the truly

JUDGE GABBERT is reported to
be preparing letter for Publica-
ton in which he will announce
that he has retired from the race
for Supreme Judge. In the letter
he will declare that he is now, and
always has been a democrat. 1t
will not hurt the democracy so
much as might be imagined. Few

News was this week flashed
over the wires that The Real Is
tate Trust Company, OF Philadel-
phia, had gone up. The deposits
were stated as being 100000,
and by singular coincidence
this is about the size of the failure.
In other words the management
stole just what was on hand. The
President died one day, the fail
ure was announced the next 1t
is believed that he committed
suicide, though his family made
every effort to conceal the cause
OF death. The investigation so
far shows millions in forged pa
per. Evidently the wrecking of
the institution has been going
steadily on for years. 1t is just
one more evidence of the neces-
sity for government saving banks.
The government does not go
broke, and they inspect postof-
fees often enough to see that the
postmaster is not stealing every
thing in stock.

went a long distance out OF It's
way to support Senator patterson
in the resolutions recently adopt
ed at their conference. AS fhe
Senator'S name was never men
toned, and the resolutions treat
entirely with principles and not
with persons, we are at a loss to
see where the Senator was en-
dorsed. Is the Sentinel of the
opinion that an utterance IN an
tagonism to corporation DONNA
ton of politics is an endorsement
of Patterson and an indictment OF
Bob Speer7 If so, the Delta
Democracy are guilty. Some OF
us are so short sighted as to not
care cuss whether the corpora
ton ring of the democracy like
us or not. We dislike a corpora
ton democrat a little worse than
we do a republican of the same
stamp, because we expect better
things of the democrat. You fell
lows who aspire to stand in with
the Denver management of poll
tics are compelled, we suppose, to
criticise every patriotic utterance
made by country democrats, so
we will excuse the Sentinel for
its foolish talk.

CHANGES are rapid on the polit-
ical slate these days. P. B. Stew
art is the last man to be trotted
out by the corporation gang as a
candidate for governor. Evans
will not release his hold on either
party without a struggle. If he
can secure the independent can
didacy of Judge Lindsay, and at
the same time name a safe man
like Stewart on the G. o. p. ticket,
he may be able to snatch victory
from the jaws of defeat. In some
ways Bill Evans is entitled to the
name Napoleon Evans" He is
a genius in political management
What he fails to accomplish by
direct attack he secures by STRAIT
egy. He uses the Post campaign
against him as pump to initiate
Judge Lindsey's loom, knowing
that in a democratic split is his
only hope. He plays the game
we'll but should remember that his
namesake finally reached his Wa,
terloo. Ikey Stevens is on Bilps
trail and he is as merciless as an
Indian.

on the effort they were being
compelled to make to keep yell
low labor out of the valley. 10
our mind the worst feature about
these socialists is the aid they
give those whom they profess 10
believe are wrong. They seem to
find a genuine pleasure in seeing
conditions become distressing to
the end that more rapidly will the
people come to feel disgust with
the system, as they call it, and
imbibe simon pure socialism
They are all students of their
theory, therefore surely know that
their ideas are not new. lhey
certainly are aware that for many
centuries the tenets OF socialism
have ever had supporters and
still they have not in a single
place on earth put their whole
theory to the test.
In a few countries they have
tried several of their ideas and
even here some are in the expert
mental stage. Still, the most
rabid socialist does not expect an
early triumph of their idea OF
government.
Why therefore, should they de-
light in those things that make
for the distress of the PecPle'
Is it untrue that "a half loaf
is better than no bread?"
The NEWSPAPER favors every
reform that shall make for the
greater prosperity of the people,
their augmented happiness, the
reduction of their toll and griet.
We deny that the founders of
this government ever had the
slightest intent to apply the doc
trine of "A home for the op
pressed of all nations" to the
citizens of the Orient. They
knew substantially nothing OF
them. Orientals were an un-
known quantity to the civilization
of Europe. That epoch had not
yet produced nation possessing
so little common sense as to pry
open the Oriental ports. 1t re-
mained for coming years that run
into centuries to breed statesmen
so lacking in intelligence as to
open the way for the Introduction

1t will doubtless always be
within the power of a people to
decide to what extent they are
willing to admit alien races to
either residence or citizenship
Then why may not we, of the
North Fork, express objection to
Japanese labor without Incurring
the displeasure of the OrganizerF
The socialists profess to bring
us a new gospel, to teach us a
better way in which to run the
country. They should not begin
tearing down till they at least
have plans and specifications for
rebuilding better.
They should not give even
moral support to destroying the
laborer's present opportunity to
gain living, until their Arcadia
is at least opened for occupancy.
At present, labor depends on the
market for labor. 1t has no way
of improving that market except
to exclude those who have no
claims of citizenship whatever.
This, and organization, constitutes
their sole protection.

Cement WALKS
City Council Making a
Move in the Right
Direction.

The city council held a special
meeting last Friday evening for the
purpose of giving first reading to an
ordinance ordering about mile of
cement sidewalk in the business part
Of town.
The specifications for this walk pro,
vides for cement cutters and curb.
The walk will be laid ON main street
from Beyers Shop to the Methodist
church. on Thompson street from
Fifth to the hospital, on Fifth and
Sixth from Thompson to st. Clair.
past the court house. The walks are
to be ten feet wide on the business
streets and six feet wide on the resi-
dence portion.
The building of these walks will bs
the beginning of a new Bottineau
With this move for start it is easy
to foresee complete water and sewer
system within the next year. There is
every natural advantage here for such
system. We have the water supply
in the springs on the mountain. three
miles away and we hav Q the creek lead
ing away from the city for the sewer
age. It will cost something Of course
but built right it will be there for
all time, and will never have to be
built again.
Any man who will put this system
into his home and use it just one win
ter would not have it taken out for ten
times its cost.
There are twenty towns in the state
today, any ono Of them smaller and of
less importance than Bottineau that
either have or are now building water
and sewer systems. The tendency is
everywhere for the best that can be
built. There is not one of them as
we'll situated naturally for such i'm
provements as Bottinaeu. They de-
pend on pumps for water, and most
of them dump their sewerage into
some dry run or coulie on the pra-
irie.
Every citizen of Bottineau who
owns a business house, a home or
even a vacant lot should be interested
in this question and boost for it until
it is secured.
