episode of Judith and Holofernes. 1t
is written in blank verse Of skillful
structure, but lacks real dramatic
power and fervor.
Aldrich's best-known story is MAR
jorie Daw," which is masterpiece
of its kind. His other novels have
very likely been more popular than
they will ever be again, and it is not
probable that his longer poems will
be remembered great while except
by scholars. Some of his short lyrics,
however, possess genuine vitality. AS
a literary man, Mr.. Aldrich was re-
spectacle rather than great. His work
was conscientious and uplifting, but
as a whole it was not much above
mediocrity. Perhaps he was greater
as an editor than as writer. His
conduct of the Atlantic Monthly was
successful in the highest degree.
While that magazine has always en-
joyed high rank, it probably owes
much of its present primacy in our
periodical literature to the sound
judgment and correct taste of Mr..
Aldrich.

What is an Angel?


An angel is weak minded old man
with more dollars than sense. What
does he do? He puts up green and
yellow money for theatrical stunts
that never pan out. Why does he not
make them pay? Because he is al
ways too. busy making love to the
chorus girls? Does he ever stage a
drama? Never. They are after ex-
travaganzas, why: Well angels are
always bald headed-need not say any
more? What do they look like? An
angel is pudgy, and has face resemb-
ling a last years pumpkin. A sort of
pie-faco then: Yes. on that order,
only they call him a pudding. What
becomes of angles? Angels invariably
run up against it good and hard at
some time during their careers, and
finally they find their finish in the
almshouse or in the insane asylum.
The latter joint is their rightful home,
first and always-daffy.

THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH.

The death of Thomas Bailey Aldrich
deprives American letters of an au-
thor who has always written correct
ly and sometimes admirably. His
prose style is careful and lucid,
though it seldom attains the highest
qualities. His poetry is thoughtful
rather than passionate; with much
meditative charm but little melody.
His poetic gift was lyrical, but he
never, perhaps, overcame his self
consciousness far enough to sing un-
hampered by it. There is much beau
ty in his songs, but it is mingled
with prosaic passages and at its best
falls short Of clear and perfect poetic
expression. His rank among the
minor poets of the country is high;
but to be an American minor poet
is not to stand very high in the gen.
eral literature of the world.
Mr.. Aldrich wrote, besides his nov
els and poems, a number of works
in dramatic form. OF these, "Mer-
cedes," with the dialogue in prose,
was suggested by an incident in the
Memoirs of the Duchess d'Abran-
tes." 1t is somewhat conventional
in tone, and partakes little If at all
of the spirit which permeates the
great realistic prose-drama OF modern
Europe and America. His Judith"
is Biblical play based on the tragic

It begins to look as though the Twin

Sentiment to be Inculcated.
AN AWAKENING.

The temperance people who consid-
cred the LELAND initiative and refer
endum bill passed in the late hours
of the last session of the legislature,
a joke so far as it affected the sub
mission of the prohibition provision
of the constitution to a vote of the
people is concerned, are awakening
to the fact that they are confronted
by serious danger-a danger which
was never even threatening In its ma
ture so long as the republican party
was almost unanimously in control of
the politics of the state.
There was no inconsistency in the
position of Mr.. LELAND or the other
democrats who supported the meas
ure. 1t is one of the fundamental
principles of the democratic platform.
1t was one of the planks upon which
Governor Burke was elected. Nor was
it foreign to the principles of the rad
ical element of the republican party
in name, which while pretending to
be republican, was in fact democratic.
1t has been one Of the hobbies of the
Herald of this city for years. A club
was formed at Valley City a few
months ago which includes in its
membership number of the leading
politicians Of that city, having for it's
object the PRONUNCIATION of the doc
trines Of initiative and referendum,
and which will exert it's influence to
secure the passage of the Iceland
amendment in the next legislative as
sembly. This is the centre of the
universe of that doctrine which was
largely responsible for the election of
the democrats in the house as we'll
as those others of a different name
who supported the Iceland amendment.
1t is true that the LELAND amend
ment must become a part of the con-
stitution before the resubmission
amendment can be proposed, but if
the present political conditions in this
state prevail during the next two
years there is no question that it will
not only pass the next assembly, but
that when it goes to the people to be
voted on it will be carried by large
majority. 1t is true that the friends
of the measure argue that if major
ity of the people favor such a propo-
sition it should become law.
Once the initiative amendment has
become a part of the state constitu-
ton the ease with which the resub-
mission amendment may be forced on
the people of the state may be gath
cred from the following excerpt taken
from the bill as it was passed by the
legislature:
The first power reserved by the peo-
pie is the initiative, and not more than
eight per cent of the legal voters shall
be required to propose any measure
by initiative petition, and every such
petition shall include the full text of
the measure so proposed, but the same
constitutional amendment shall not be
proposed oftener than once in ten
years.

All. There, Ny Darling!


The tenth legislative assembly, both
senate and house, have been playing
politics with vengeance. The house
held the anti-pass bill back until the
closing week of the session, defeats
it several sand then adopts it by
a narrow margin. 1t then went to the
senate, where its number-23-meant
skiddoo, and 1t vanished. In other
words, while trying to get reputa-
ton as reformers, the members of the
assembly refuse to let go their passes
and thus showed their monumental
weakness. If anything in the world
should be abolished 1t is the "free
pass" There Is no sense in making
fish Of some people and fowl of others.
As for the law, treat all alike and
show no favOrs.

the abstractor responsible for the ac-

not only to the person for whom it
is directly made, but to everybody

the old law. The abstractor is re-

WHO'S WHO IN GRAND FORKS, NO. nj
GEO. A. BANGS.

Who would think that the SUBJ
ject OF the accompanying carica-
ture had been studying law for the
past twenty years? 1t Is fact,
nevertheless, that for that period
OF time MIR. Bangs has spent most
OF his time us a disciple Of Black
stone. Though still youthful in
appearance for his years. Mr..
Bangs has spent quarter of a
century of his life in this city,
where he has held some very I'M
portant offices. He was states at
torney for two years. 1S99-1901,
and city attorney for ten years.
During his term as city attorney
he appeared in the we'll known
case of McDermont VS.. the city of
Grand Forks. in which the consti-
tutionality OF the municipal court
law was involved. This law IL up
held would have saddled upon
many towns in the state a large
sum for the maintenance of court
chambers, etc. Mr. Bangs gave the
measure its death blow.
Mr.. Bangs was attorney for the
petitioners or REALTORS in the
famous capitol commission case
and won, the capitol commission
bill being declared unconstitution-
al by the state supreme court. He
also appeared as attorney for the
REALTORS in the park commission

performance indicates that the attend
ance will be large.
Musical critics, recognized as such,
in passing their opinion upon the
Evans Quartet's entertainment insist
that it is the best of the kind ever
given in he state, barring none. This,
it is stated, is due largely to the fact
that the program is not comprised en-
tirely of vocal selections, but is diver
sified, with specialties, musical novel,
ties, artistic solo singing, classical and
popular music and humorous quartet
selections interspersing. The quartet
comprises the following gentlemen, all
of Grand Forks: ]. A. Evans, second
tenor, accOmpanist and manager; A.
c. Hansen, first tenor; A. ]. Ander-
son, first bass; A. l.. Johnstone, second
bass.
Mr.. J. a. Evans is successful
singer and one showing promise of
very brilliant future. He possesses
tenor rObustO voice of great sweetness,
power and range and any one hearing
him, cannot fail to realize that he
must haven spent many years of faith
full study and hard work, in order to
have produced the present splendid
results. He commenced his studies
under Mr.. Maengwyn Davis of the
Royal Academy in London, England,
and later studied under eminent mas
tiers in Italy and in this country.
Mr.. Evans has confined his atten-
tons mostly to private society musi-
Gales; at homes and in New York he
is we'll known in the homes of several
prominent people. He has also taught
in London, New York, Chicago and
other of the large cities.
He organized his first quartette
twelve years ago in London, England.
Since then he has made the work a
speciality. Many quartettes which have
enjoyed national regulations owe their
splendid training and results to Mr..
]. A. Evans. The Celebrated Royal
Welsh Quartette, which toured
through Canada recently, was trained
and managed by the present leader of
the Evans Male Quartette.
February z, 1907.
Gentlemen:
Recently l had the pleasure of hear
ing the Evans Male Quartette," and
wish to say that, in my opinion, it is
remarkable combination of voices,
the blend being quite extraordinary.
The leader and manager, Mr.. ]. A.
Evans, seems to me to be especially
well equipped in matter of voice and
musical ability.
The second bass, Mr.. A. l.. Johns
tone, a young man, believe has a
very brilliant future before him, as
believe his voice belongs to the Grand
Opera" class.
The personal appearance of the
quartette is exceptionally good. They
do some speciality work which is very
fine.
