UNITED FOR PROSPERITY.

The municipal campaign is closed.
The last sound from the firing line
has died away in the rar off distance.
The victor has met foeman worthy
Of his steel, and the victory is the
more creditable because of the mas
terful fight of the vanquished.
So far as the battle is concerned it
is a closed incident. The people to-
morrow will resume their accustomed
work and not Il ripple should remain
on the surface of the peaceful waters
to mark the place where before was
the seething maelstrom of political
strife.
The great power of the American
people in self government is their
ability to accept the will of the ma
jority as expressed at the polls as
the verdict of all and no matter how
bitter may have been the fight when
the ballots have been cast there is
no revolution by defeated parties or
unsuccessful candidates.
These things being true the dove
of peace will tonight wave the olive
branch above the heads Of those who
have fought the fight.
With tomorrow the work of MAX
ing Grand Forks a city of forty thou
sand within the next ten years should
be begun in earnest. What the city
needs to accomplish this is a great
line OF manufactures and enterprises
that will not only bring people to the
city but give them employment after
they are here.
1t means the investment of vast
capital, the building OF great plants.
and the enlargement of our bust
ness institutions.
The city must grow because it is
destined to be the leading commercial
center between the twin cities and the
coast

to Chicago as Grand Forks is to them.
have forged ahead until they are in
the very front of the list of prosper
Gus communities.
This city has better opportunities.
Because of the mountains on the west
there will never be rival nearer than
the coast cities.
The country which is contributory
to Grand Forks is as rich as that
which supports the two cities on the
Mississippi.
There is no reason then, why this
city should not be city OF forty
thousand within ten years.
Its railroad facilities are sufficient
for that. Its people are full by gospel
measure of enterprise and enthusiasm
and there is no city in the entire
northwest with better opportunities
for industrial and commercial enter
prises.

TIMELY WORDS,

Here is specimen of the debate
now proceeding in the senate on the
railroad rate question. 1t is worth
reading more than once and worth re.
membering always. Senator Knox, in
his notable speech, said, referring to
the courts:
They are the balance wheel and
check in our system between contend
Ing passions and policies. 1t is not
idle rhetoric. but the sober truth, that
the courts are the guardians of our
rights and liberties. 1t is high time
that the people should remember this
and should soberly reflect upon the
current heresies. 1t is high time that
public sentiment and conviction
should loyalty support the judicial
power, recognize the patriotism and
good faith of the courts, and maintain
their authority and independence. II
the derogatory ideas which l have
heard relate to state courts, I cannot
challenge those who are better in
formed than as to particular states,
put speaking for my own state, l in
dignantly repudiate that idea, and as
w eAAS ASoSA Oh ~ Auuudlo, l uSStiL Will
out fear. of contradiction that to their
honor; capacity, and just judgments
any human controversy may be safely
intrusted. If now and then some I'M
worthy judge constitutes an excep-
ton, that contrast only accentuates
the general record OF high personnel,
character and ability.
This great subject should be dis
cussed and considered in spirit of
sincerity and courage, far removed
from political eXpediency, or levity, or
passion. 1t is question affecting the
entire country and every section. 1t
concerns vitality great aggregates of
the people and each individual citizen.
1t touches at all points the interests
of capital and the interests of labor.
1t is a question of constitutjonality, of
fundamental rights, of law
The sober, thoughtful Judgment of
the people will sustain Senator Knox
in his impassfoned deliverance. If the
courts are to be destroyed, our judi
cial system torn down, then, indeed,
is the end of good government near
at hand, with the Tillmanites and their
pitchforks in full control Presidents
and congresses, bent, as we think
they are. upon an honest and con-
scientious adjustment of the nations

Misrepresentation Rebuked.
bismarck Tribune,1


The Grand Forks Herald some days
ago published misleading article, in
tended to convey the impression that
the governor and military authorities
Of the state had given away to the
Great Northern railroad valuable
strip of land belonging to the state
encampment ground at Rock Island,
near Devils Lake. The Valley City
Times Record, with it's infinite capacity
for petty misrepresentation, repro
duces the statement, with a nasty in
nuendo, such as the editor of that
paper has achieved an unenviable dis
tinction for making. The facts in the
matter are that the governor and the
military authorities gave the Great
Northern Railway company a right of
way for branch line, along bit of
rocky beach land, segregated from the
reserve by public road and lying be-
tween that and the lake. The strip of
land is not valuable and cannot be
used for any military purpose what
ever, nor does the right of way take
away from the available land of the
reservation in the least degree.
Granting the right of way was what
any other land owner, public or
private, would have done under the
circumstances. AS result of the
building of the line of road along the
edge of the reserve, a side track will
be put in. and the goods and stores
that are shipped to the annual en-
campment will be delivered at the
reservation grounds. The tonnage of
this annual shipment is considerable
and heretofore the state has been put
to the expense of transporting it from
Devils Lake by wagon, involving the
payment of considerable sum. After
the road is built this expense will be
avoided and the proximity of the road
will be a benefit to the reserve and
of assistance and advantage to the
militia. There has been no dissatis-
faction in the militia over the matter,
as the Herald and Times-Record
would seek to convey, The Herald,
and Times Record are hard pressed
for matters to allege against the ad-
ministration when they will descend,
either to ignorant or willful misrep-
resentation with regard to a matter
which neither paper made an effort to
inquire into. Let it be said in passing
that the state militia is in better shape
than 1t has been for many years. Had
1t not been for the prompt and vigor-
Gus action Of the state authorities the
state might have had no government
appropriation for its guard. The ef-
forts of the administration have been
altogether toward building it up, and
the efforts of the Herald and Times
Record have been, largely toward

An Outside View of the Local Situation.
tWalhalla Mountaineerl
The Grand Forks Herald( which is
a good newspaper) is trying to create
a sentiment to the effect that the
election in Grand Forks will be an
expression of the people of the state
in the fall election. While it may
be right, 1t is just as liable to be in
error. as the result of the election in
that city will be no more an express
sion Of the sentiment of the state
than was the election held in Walhalla
last week. The Herald evidently,
would like to have the impression go
forth that its influence is as extern
sive in creating discord the state over
as it is in getting a following, such
as it is, in Grand Forks. The fact re-
mains. however. that from this dist
ance the fight in that city appears to
be one of democrats and mugwumps
iSdluSL lue DeSt anu ulOSC interested
Cfrom a tax payers standpoinD citi-
zens and business men of Grand
Forks. The ostensible fight is for
Mayor Duis. but the real object is to
elect a democrat in republican
stronghold. and then to send forth
the tidings to the world that there is
tremendous political upheaval in
North Dakota. 1t is too bad that agi-
tators, for selfish ends, have the power
attach to themselves, through influence
and misrepresentation, so large fol-
lowing as they are capable of doing.
This is not the first time there has
been such agitation in the state-and
if they should win, it will not be the
first time their treason has been
crowned by a temporary victory. But
the people have had to suffer for it
for years afterwards before recover
ing from the effects the reform" gov
eminent has cost them.

In the Grand Forks city municipal
campaign the Herald is supporting
Mayor Duis for reelection against
Mr.. Dinnie. At the primary election
held there this spring, there were 1854
ballot cast, of which number Duis re-
ceived but 81 votes. Duis is running
as democrat and the Herald is sup
porting him on so-called reform"
platform and against what it calls the

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.


After what has been undoubtedly
the most holly contested campaign in
the history of any city in the north
west. Geo. E. Duis and probably the
majority of the democratic ticket is
elected by a decisive majority
This result was brought about
largely by reason of Mr.. Duis having
the whole machinery of the city gov
eminent at his command and which,
it is superfluous to add, was made use
of in every conceivable way to further
his interests. and also to the further
fact that Mr.. Duis started in the may
orally race with Il great advantage
over Mr.. Dinnie. in that he (Duis) had
served but one term as mayor.
1t is equally clear, on the other
hand. that Mr.. Duis was greatly handi-
capped by the endorsement of the rem
egade Herald, which has never advo-
Gated the cause of any man except
with selfish motive in view, and
which, as a result of the complaining,
fault-finding and unprogressive policy
of its scheming publisher. has been
simply a milestone about the neck of
Grand Forks from the day of its first
publication. That the Herald. which
has fattened at the republican crib, is
not and never has been in sympathy
with the republican party needs no
further proof than is being furnished
by that sheet from day to day.
That it fully intends to do it's utmost
to disrupt the republican party in this
state is established beyond all perad-
venture by what the Herald itself has
had to say on that score.
But for the intolerant attitude of
the Herald with respect to the mayor
alty-its dictatorial assumption of it's
absolute right to select mayor for
the people of Grand Forks-there
would have been no opposition to Mr.
Duis' reelection. 1t was this as
sumption by the Herald's editor of the
right to be the supreme "boss" in
municipal affairs and the full belief
ON the part of many good citizens that,
IL successful, he would continue to re-
tard the interests and the expansion
Of the city. as he has always done,
that determined them to place Mr..
Dinnie in the field.
Certain it is that but for the fact
that weeks before the primary cleo
ton the Herald was industriously en-
gagged in paving the way to ignore the
results of the peoples choice at that
time by its platitudinous reiterations
in behalf Of the already announced
democratic candidate. the Evening
Times would have never allowed it.
self to have become a party to one of
the most venomous and disgraceful
municipal campaigns in the history of
the state.
For the above stated reasons there
can be no doubt but what, had Mr..
Duis not been handicapped with
the support of the mercenary Herald,
in addition to that of his own fool
hardy organ. he would have come out
Of the contest with a much larger
majority.
The hypocritical Herald and it's
pharisaical publisher are at liberty to
make the most of the overwhelming
victory"

The municipal political squabble in
Grand Forks, as it is being conducted
in the papers of that city, is becoming
disgusting to the readers of those
papers. 1t has reached a stage where
a business man who favors Duis for
mayor declares that from the date of
his article, published in the Grand
Forks Herald last Sunday, he will
never knowingly patronize anyone
who opposes the election of Duis. or
course he claims that Dinnie is a
gang candidate, but there are many
business men and others who have
views to the contrary and who will
