STORIES OF THE HOUR
Lincoln's Advice To Lawyers.

Discourage litigation" was his adj
vice to lawyers. Persuade your
neighbors to compromise whenever
you can. Point out to them how the
nominal winner is often the real loser
in fees, expenses and waste of time.
AS peacemaker the lawyer has a
superior opportunity of, becoming a
good man. There will always be
enough business. Never stir up-a liti-
cation. A worse man can scarcely be
found than one who does this. Who
can be more nearly fiend than he
who habitually overhauls the register
of deeds in search of defects in titles,
wherein to stir up strife and put
money in his pocket? A moral tone
ought to be infused into the profession
which should drive such men out of
it,"
1t has been truly said that those
words should be posted in every Law
Office in the land, and it will be seen,
when Lincoln's record is fully exam
ined, that it was not mere theorist
who wrote them, but an active practi-
toner of wide experience, who lived
up to his own teaching.-From Fred
erick Trevor Hills Lincoln, the Law
YER" in the February Century.

Manager Of Yates Campaign in
Illinois Found Dead in
Bed.

Peoria, ILL.,, Feb, 6.-Rev. Geo. II.
Simmons, pastor of the First Baptist
church, president of the Interstate
Savings bank and the Peoples Saw
ings bank and recently appointed man
ager of the Yates senatorial campaign
in Peoria county, was found dead. in
bed this morning. He had been the
object of an investigation at the hands
of the states attorney, the two banks
and his congregation. The body was
found by his wife when she called him
to breakfast. He had remained down
town until late hour last night, dis
posing of some business matters. "A
letter found beside n1m showed his
death to have been premeditated. In
part 1t said:
Also no blame must attach to ex-
Governor Yates nor his associates. He
simply gave me an opportunity which
his opponents and my enemies have
prevented my using"
Physicians summoned said his death
was due to cyanide of potassium pois-
oning. The Peoples Savings bank
remained closed today. A large crowd
was about the doors this morning
clamoring for money.

MONDAY EVENING. FEBRUARY S. 1906
farmers spend the winter days.

farmers spend the winter days.
1t is not so many years ago since
the farmers were compelled to spend
the winter months in getting their
| grain into market.
The reason for this was that the
money for the crop was needed to pay
the bills and lift the mortgages.
The mortgages have long since been
paid, and now the people who have
money to loan are rushing after the
farmers to get them to borrow, and
the sleep lost by the borrower because
of pay day is as small rs the point
of an angle.
The farmers have built comfortable
and in many instances luxurious
homes. They have bank accounts
large enough to meet all possible con-
tingencies and if need be, buy another
/ quarter of laid, and the rushing of the
crop to market is unnecessary.
The early conditions were not the
products of North Dakota. They were
importations. Many of those who
came in the early days had little be-
sides their grit and muscle They
were building an agricultural empire
from the raw material. They did not
understand the soil or the climate, and
the grains had not then become accli-
mated. They failed where now under
similar conditions but with their pres
ent knowledge they would succeed.
But those who stayed with the coun-
try are the ones who today can afford
to sit by their fresides in the cold
weather and let their crops lie in the
granaries.
This change in conditions is North
Dakota product. 1t is what the state
has produced in the last twenty years.
North Dakota has made few mil
lionaires, but no state in the union
can show such list of men with for
tunes above twenty thousand that
have been accumulated from nothing
in as many years.
These fortunes are in the possession
of men who till the soil. They are the
ones who do not need to brave the
storms to get the crop to market.
Every dollar has been made in
North Dakota.

IMPROVE THE CITY.

Sometime ago the Commercial club
offered to meet the city council in a
business effort to beautify the city
with modern pavements, and Joint
committees were appointed to push
the matter.
The problem is large one, especial
ly when it is considered that the paw
ing of the city should follow the lay
ing of water mains.
1t was the purpose of those inter-
ested to have the improvements so ar
ranged that once the pavements were
laid, there would be no need of tearing
the work up for other improvements.
The plan is good one but in some
respects it is impractical, especially
In this age of improvements.
In time the electric wires must be
put under ground, gas and water pipes
must be put into the greater build
ings that must be constructed, and
street car lines must be built on many
of the streets.
These improvements are not coming
In day, but they will be part of the
growth of Grand Forks within the
next decade.
1t hardly seems advisable to wait
for these things before the city is
given we'll paved streets. j
There is much in the appearance Of
q city to the stranger, and a city's
reputation for progress is what at
tracts capital and business interests
10 II.
It Is unfortunate that this city with
all its other progress, needs paving
and needs it badly.
The city. however, can not rush
into the paving business without due
consideration. The Improvement
would mean a heavy tax in some
form. even II only reasonable
amount be constructed each year, and
the tax payers should be fairly con-
sidered.
M But the city can not afford to de-
AZ improvements 80 important for
more money considerations which do
not work : hardship upon the public.

DUB CLIMATE Is ALL RIGHT.

Occasionally there is a weather pes
simist developed by the cold snaps
that strike the northwest who wants
to quit the country for climate more
congenial.
That does not indicate that spend
ing the winter in this climate is a
hardship, for it is not. a..
If there was any country with an
ideal climate all the year it would be
more crowded than New Orleans bar
on hot day. The truth is there is
no such country.
Those who rush to Florida and Cuba
for the winter and return as walking
encyclopedias of the advantages of the
climate, would have far different
story to tell were they there at any
time between April and September,
when the air becomes general bake
oven breeze, and when people dare not
go about their avocations in the mid
die of the day lest they die of sun
stroke.
Those climates are delightful in the
winter, but an all-year residence
would entail far more Inconvenience
than would residence in North Da-
kota.
Sleep is the great restorer of the
animal body, and sleep is largely an
impossibility during the hot seasons
in the south. The nights are hot and
humid and the body is not restored
by the lounging doze that is called
sleep.
The languid and indolent DISPOSE
tons that characterize the people of
the south are due to this lack of Wig
orous. refreshing sleep. They cannot
keep the paceSof their northern broth
ers because they do not have natures
restoratives.
In those parts of the country men
and women develop several years ear
lier than they do in the colder cli-
mates. and at fifty men are retiring
from active business because they are
worn out.
1t may seem a strenuous life to
hustle when the mercury il twenty
five below, but 1t does not cause half
the suffering that it does to work in
this humid heat Of the warmer cli-
mates when the mercury is at the
other end Of the Thermometer.
There are hundred deaths from
sun stroke in the south to one from
hsszing IN The north. Ys

A Wierd Norwegian Story.

Norwegians are much concerned
over strange incident of the festivi-
ties which welcomed King Haakon to
Christiania. A Christiania newspaper
thus describes it: "At the very time
when the royal procession had to pass
the ancient fortress of Akerhus there
was assembled there great number
of spectators, mostly military, in order
to see the new king drive past. While
the spectators were waiting to see the
king in great excitement a jingling
sound was heard and suddenly the
crowned statue of King Oscar fell, to
the ground. At the same moment the
crown fell of and was crushed in the
fall. For moment everyone present
felt a little uncomfortable on Witness
ing this incident; but it was imme-
diately forgotten In watching the royal
procession. A few days later some
members of the same company were
assembled in another part Of the town
in the house Of one Of the leaders Of
the, government. The conversation
turned on the strange incident Of the
statue. In the midst of the converse
ton q scrping sound was heard and
the portrait Of King Oscar .slided down
from the wall ana fell to the ground"

concluded from page IL

ington's endorsement for the Office Of
Register of the Treasury.
One of the reasons given for the IN
dorsement of Williams is that for some
time past the Negroes of the United
States have been accusing Booker T,
Washington of becoming boss" and
of protesting to speak for the entire
Negro race on all questions. These men
made attacks on Washington. He was
most ably defended by Mrs Williams,
the wife of the applicant for Register OF
the Treasury, who is a writer Of con-
siderable note.
Out of regard for her work in his be-
half, Booker T. Washington Endorsed
her husband, although he had previously
Endorsed Vernon. How the matter will
Re finally settled is not known.
And yet Mr.. Washington's newspaper
claque roll their eyes heavenward, cross
their breasts, and declare that he is not
in politics, never voted, and does not
aspire to boss" the race.
If this isn't bossism of the most gall
ing kind-the sort that rewards not
party service, but personal service-pray
tell US what it is!
We deem it entirely unnecessary to
give any further evidence that DR.
Booker T. Washington. Principal of
Tuskegee Industrial Institute, is playing
the role of Negro politician, and play
ing it hard, for all it is worth. In fact
these press notices show clearly that he
is a politician in the lower sense of the
word, being busted chiefly to control
patronage and to get the 'plums" for
his friends who do him a favor in re-
turn.
The press reports further in other col
umns of this issue dealing with DR.
Washington's Endorsement of two men
tor the same job but strengthen this
contention.
In conclusion we would say that we
have marshalled this evidence somewhat
hurriedly perhaps to settle once for all
the facts. DR.. Washington being now
admittedly an active patronage dispens-
ing politician, his friends, Colored and
white, cannot charge every move against
him TO opposition to his school work
We believe they will admit our right
TO take sides as to any man who is in
politics. A question that is pertinent is
DR.. Washington. whose ex-
pressed views on his race in Office seek
ing are we'll known is consistent An
other question is whether he has the
time to give TO such matters and do jus
tice to the enormous school for which
he gets so much money, whether to
such school is not enough for
enc man to attend TO? And really, do
these friends blame any of us for oppos-
in such politics on the Tuskegeen's
part ?-The Guardian, Boston, Mass.
