The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1906-11-12
THE FUTURE OF THE TINES.

In view OF ;ae fact that aohsren.s
OF the Herald have pe.sis.eat.y re.
peated the story that The Evening
Times would suspend Immediately fol-
lowing The recent election, and il
further view o! the we'll recognized
principle tina, a falsehood repeated
sufficiently often is finally believed.
The Evening Times desires in jus,;c.
to the reading and business public
to state that it not only has had nc
idea of suspending. but that i, is a
permanent fixture of this city. Those
who have circulated statements TO the
contrary have been inspired by III.
hope that such would be the case. II
may be understood for all time tina,
The Evening Times is here to stay.
In: justice to the public. some state
ment. in reply TO the stories which
have been circulated by those who
are personally interested in having it
out OF the newspaper field in this city
should be made. The Herald has re-
peatedly stated that this paper
Is. the personal organ of Sena-
tor Hansbrough, and that its mission
was a. strictly political one. To ac-
complish an end which does not have
truth for backing, the Herald has
chosen to call it Hansbrough's organ.
brough does not have a dollars inter-
est in the paper or the plant, and has
not had since Mr.. Lampman ceased TO
be connected with the paper. If the
Herald has any doubts of the truth
of this statement The Evening Times
will be pleased to have an electro
plate made OF the contract with the
signatures thereto and to publish the
SAME along side Of another plate OF
the same kind in its possession con-
tanning the signatures of the people
who once robbed the state of thou
sands of dollars in a printing deal.
The majority stock of the concern
is now owned by business men Of this
f: city who are conducting the paper for
I the best interests of the city and the
. state at large. 1t is the organ of no
: man or set OF men. 1t is republican
! because it believes in the principles
f. Of the party, and will always be found
in the front ranks fighting for the
!; preservation Of that party and for the
! perpetuation of it's doctrines in the
Government of the state and nation.
The first and primary object of The
Evening Times is to aid in the de.
yelopment of the city Of Grand Forks
The mep who launched it did so be-
cause they were large property own
ers in the city and they knew b!
years OF experience that the press o
the city had never done single thin,
towards the development and ex
pansion of the community unles
there were ample reward behind tn
same. All the work done in the ir
terest of the city was for selfish an
sordid motive. The development I
Grand Forks means the increase
the valuation of the property of evel
resident. This was the principal thiI
which called The Evening Times in
existence and it is the principal THU
to which it will devote it's energi
in the future.
The need OF republican paper
the northern portion of the state W
seen months ago. and later develG
menls have proven that the predict
was we'll founded. Politically Il
portion of the state needs i; repul
can paper when the democratic fl
is occupied by two hailies both pl

The public is not often taken i
the confidence of any man In the IN
agement of his business. but beca
of the repeated falsehOOds circula
in reference TO the same, it can
stated that The Evening Times is 4
a paying institution. II is proud
the fact that in ten months it has
able to maintain it's position aga
rivals which have been thirty year,
securing their standing. It's busir
relations will be measured by
motto of square deal for all, an
il able to give value received for e,
