FOUND WITH GOODS
CAN'T Graft" From Bismarck
Tells Things About Ere
former" Andrews.
Special to The Evening Tlme..

Special to The Evening Times.
Bismarck, Sept. 19.-"One by one the
roses fall" An obscure and altogether
impertinent newspaper down in Rich
land county, having Intercepted Re-
former Andrews of the Broadaxe in re-
gard to $45 which the said Andrews
had received from the state for SER
vices which were not performed, the
Broadaxe reformer replied in SUBJ
stance that someone else had done the
same thing" This reply is character
istfc of all grafters who pretend to be
better than their fellow men and are
suddenly caught with the goods ON
them" There is a notable instance
of this kind in Grand Forks. In COM
parison with Winship's offense, how
ever, the wrOngdOing of reformer An
drews, so far as the amount is con-
cerned. falls within the petty larceny
class.
1t seems that reformer Andrews held
the position of engrossing clerk of the
state senate last session. He was ap-
pointed January 3, 1905, but was not
sworn In and did not enter upon his
duties until January 18th. 1t is sup
posed that during the intervening nine
days he and his Broadaxe were busy
printing and circulating the "Looting
OF Alaska" story and otherwise puri-
flying things in general sort of way.
And so it came about that when re-
former Andrews drew his pay at Bis
marck the sum of his allowance show
ed that his services did not antedate
Jan. 18th, the date on which he arrived
at the capital and took the oath of
Office. Lieutenant Governor Bartlett
had followed the law, unwritten and
otherwise, that an employee of the state
could draw pay only for services rem
dered: whereat reformer Andrews be-
came greatly incensed and was upon
the point of finishing the demolition of
the demo-pop addition of the capitol
building. In other words Reformer
Andrews was hot all the way through.
and performed in most threatening
manner toward the gentlemen who CO.
incided with Gov. Bartlett's decision.
Finally, in order to appease Reform
err Andrews, resolution was enei-
neered through the two houses provid-
ing for the payment of the s45..and he
put the graft in his pocket.
The record in this transaction is
the AFFIDAVIT attached to voucher No.

DANCE. IN PRE.JIDGNENT.

The bar association did we'll, per-
haps, in giving expression to the popu-
lar sentiment in behalf of non-par
tisan judiciary, although We prefer
to feel that the promoters of the reso-
luton were not moved by public
clamor. The demand for a non-par-
tisan judiciary is by no means new.
Indeed it is older than all the bar as
sociations of the world, and still the
judiciary is as far away from nom
craftsmanship as ever.
Any attempt to press this demand
for non-partisan judiciary at this
particular time would, in our judg-
ment. be reflection upon the bar it.
self. 1t would be equivalent to an
ing to the bar who would belittle their
profession in order to attain judicial
position through discreditable methods.
There is wide difference between
the ideal judge and the real judge. The
bar associations resolution refers in
effect, yet not in terms, to the ideal
judge. We recall the conditions that
surrounded the first republican state
convention, held at Fargo in 1889.
After much travail a state ticket had
been agreed upon by the slate makers
at that time. There was great diff
Guilty In finding material for the su-
preme bench Two of the candidates
had been tentatively accepted by the
bosses" I'VE use the term bosses"
in u relative sense) There was great
difficulty, however, in determining who
the third candidate should be. Finally
the name of an obscure lawyer by
the name OF Bartholomew, from La
M0ure county, was suggested. who
is Bartholomew? was the question
that went up almost in chorus.
And yet Judge Bartholomew made
record that every lawyer and every
other citizen is proud of. He deserves
to be known as the John Marshall of
the supreme court of North Dakota.
The other two candidates were prac-
tically unknown at the time Who will
be heard today to say that the repub-
lfcan convention OF 1889 made a mis-
take in selecting the judicial end of it's
ticket? Had Messrs. Corliss, Wallin
and Bartholomew been condemned be-
forehand there could have been no

SHOOTING OF FOX MYSTERIOUS.

Gus Wound In the Head:

Fox was shot in the face by persons
unknown at the 500 trestle, a mile
east of this city. Fox reported to the
police that he was shot by some men,
Der of train crew as the caboose
pulled by him. He was taken to a

located with an X-ray. 1t entered his
head at right angle to the face line
and lodged near the brain cavity. The
wound will prove fatal IL it becomes
infected.
Members of the train crew were held
today and questioned. They allege
that no shot was fired by them, as
no member of the crew carries a re-

Saturday was discharged and paid off.

Those who had expected to see some
spectacular event when the supreme
court met in this city yesterday were
doomed to disappointment. The court
proceeded as though nothing out of
the ordinary was being done, and the
good taste and judicial dignity of the
judges present went a long way to-
wards dispelling the idea that the SUI
preme court of North Dakota had be-
come a burluesque.

he has lived on South Fourth street
he has learned many things from the
Mclean man. Among other things
he has learned the white mans way
OF cooking and is working in Third
Street Bakery at the present time. He
has forgotten the mysteries of chop
suey and mar mein and can broil
steak. cook vegetables and make pies
and cakes in such way that he is
treasure in any kitchen. But this
is not all that Wong You has learned.
He has been to the Salvation Army
and learned things that sank deep
into his mind.
He was thinking OF them evidently
the other day when he was making a
cake to be sent over to Crookston for
a wedding. The art of cake-making
is one of the last things Chinaman
learning American cooking masters.
Most of them never learn it and those
who do are Unfortunately proud of the
accomplishment. So while Wong
creamed the butter and sugar, beat
the eggs and mixed his cake together
two different lines of thought were
running through his mind. When he
came to putting the last fancy touches
to the decoration of the cake his
thoughts had crystallized and in large
raised letters of icing he fashioned
the works: God made the world. but

aTHE WORLD

Interest in legitimate melodrama
has enjoyed considerable of an impetus
with the revival of the scenic produc-
ton THE World" which comes to the
Metropolitan on Monday, Sept "a.
After long siege of cheap produc-
tons, inane plots and burlesque COM
edy. the public has turned with relief
to the clean cut plot consistent action
and really witty humor of this clever
play, and as a result, since its initial
presentation in New York at Wallack's
theatre and up to the present time the
attendance has been record breaking
at every performance.
Aside from being cleverly written
and splendidly produced play a great
deal of interest has attached itself to
the production by reason of the fact
that the author has departed from the
usual setting of this class of play and
chosen the sea as the background for
the essentially delightful action of his
interesting story and SO in a moment
the auditor is swept away from the
conventional considerations by which
ne views this class of production and
finds himself enjoying altogether
unique and interesting situations.

legends are in evidence at the present

as the "St. Joseph of Arimathea" le-

been tried and sentenced to DEATH We
are told that 1t was this same soldier
that pierced the side of the Nazarene
with his spear. st. Joseph experienced
change of heart and asked permits

that had been used at the Last Supper

TWO WRITERS OF BIOGRAPHY.
Johnson and Boswell Exponents Of
Different Schools.

It is an interesting fact in the his.
tory Of literary genres that two Of
the great examples of biographical
writing occur almost side by side.
Less than decade separates the COM
pletion Of Johnson's Lives of the
Poets"-happily honored in the new
edition Of the late DR.. Birkbeck Hill
from the publication of his own life
by Boswell. Yet with the latter book
new type of biography came into
being. Johnson, in the main, had,
like most of his predecessors, fol-
lowed a simple narrative and exposi-
tory method, prefixing plain story
Of the poets life to systematic &C
count of his character and q critical
estimate of his works; he gathered
his facts and impressions together
and spoke for the author and for him
self. Boswell, on the other hand,
making use Of more dramatic
method, succeeded in his attempt to
let the author reveal himself, and, in
stead Of an exposition of character,
painted a picture of personality, to
which his own comments were sub
ordinate. What we see as a type of
mind and character in Johnson's work,
we see as living man in Boswell
The Forum.
