CRUEL PANGS OF

Two days and half cruising be-
tween Rugby and Grand Forks with
the wind blowing gale and the ship
in precarious condition is the har-
rowing summary of The Drummer's
Experiences in North Dakota During
the Winter of 1907" new book to
be issued by the same publishing
company that went hungry on
SCOTS Emulsion" few years ago.
The travellers as stated above left
Rugby on Wednesday noon expecting
supper at the Hotel Dacotah in this
city but they were doomed to disap-
pointment for the Hotel Boreas inter-
fered. Thursday, Thursday night and
Friday were spent in the village of
Doyon where it is alleged nothing runs
but hotel bills.
The above mentioned U. C. T. re-
personalities are good natured as
general rule but it is stated that driv-
en- by the panes OF hunger while
cooped up in a coach in one of the
continuous snow drifts they malig-
nantly and with malice aforethought
picked onto an innocent harness man
and deliberately eat the crackers of
the end of his whips. The truth of
the above Maunchausenistic tale is
not vouched for as the gentlemen in
question are rather reserved about
the matter. =,

SENATOR STEVENS LASHES
THE v. C. "MUCkRAkER"

Bismarck, Jan. 26.-It is indeed
dull day when the house can net at
ford some distinctive feature which
will make it prominent as branch
of the legislative body of the state.
Wednesday it was the uamerciful
flashing of the correspondent OF the
Evening Press of Grand Forks, who
while not mentioned by the fayer.
is F.. E. Packard. the Valley City
muckraker. Immediately following
the roll call, Representative Stevens
arose to personal privilege. and pre-
faced his remarks with the state
ment that he had been member Of
four legislatures and member of the
constitutional convention, and that in
all his legislative career he had never
before arose to a personal privilege.
He then called attention to the article
which appeared in the Grand Forks
Evening Press of January 10 and
which made false representations
concerning the remarks of Mr.. Stevens
during the debate in the house of the
denatured alcohol resolution. Nj.
Stevens stated that he recognized the
right of newspaper men to place their
own construction upon matters with
which they We're dealing and to de-
duct from facts their own conclusions,
but he did not understand that they
were entitled to wilfully state thing
which was not true merely for the
purpose OF laying foundation for
such conclusions as they might desire
to draw. With ringing sarcasm in
the use. of which he is past master,
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1907-01-26

believes he can save young Thaws
! life on the grounds OF justitiable de-
Tense of his wife's character.
Who contributed most to the MUIR
der of Sanford White? Was it pretty
Evelyn Neshit who set the heads of
of both the murderer and the muir
dered in Il whirl over her charms,
or the over indulgent mother who
yielded to the hayward sons threats
and demands and supplied him with
funds to lead Il fast life, or that faith
CT who. foreseeing evil. did not make
safe the vast estate he had accumu-
lated, or was Harry Thaw. himself
the direct instrument of death to
Sanford White: That all the above
are accessories to this crime cannot
we'll be denied. Anyone who contri-
butes in any way to bring about any
effect whether puropsely or other
wise are causes to that defect, and
should be held amendable Ones SUBJ
conscious self may perform acts over
which he has no control and, in fact,
of which he is not at all conscious.
This theory is so we'll established now
that it requires no argument to con-
vince those who have given the mat
ter any degree of study and consid-
Grafton.
A case at hand is one recently re-
ported of the murder of young girl
in Walsh county by one Otto Weberg
who says he has no recollection what
ever of having committed the crime
and asked the sheriff if he had actu-
ally shot and killed the girl. Many
think this a subterfuge on the part
of the murderer, but there are suffi-
cient number of cases on record to
establish the fact that the theory that
sub-conscious acts are not conscious
acts.
That Sanford White came to his
death from bullet wound, shot from
a gun in the hand of one Harry Thaw
there does not seem to be any ques-
ton of doubt. To establish the real
cause Of the sending of that bullet
to vital point in the body of San
ford White will be the work of his
attorneys before the jury now being
assembled to listen to the evidence
in the case. If Harry Thaw, though
an instrument through which the
crime was committed, is found to be
only an instrument to the crime then
he is no more guilty of murder than
is the gun held in his hand at the
time Sanford White lost his life.
All these facts will come out in the
evidence given by various witnesses
in the trial.
1t is not our purpose to shield any
one who commits a crime, but the
real object Of this article is to show
that capital punishment is wrong and
that the government who takes the
life of murderer is no less guilty
of murder than the most hardened
criminal-no less guilty of murder
than is the man who in his sanest
moments and with no malice in his
heart shoots down his fellow man.
There might seem to be some ex-
cuse for one who commits murder
after having pondered over it so long
that his mind becomes too weak to

he denounced the statements that the
gang, as the correspondent of the Press
chose to term the ,e:ubl!can party,
were attempting to in any manner in
fuence the selection OF such appoint
MEETS as Governor Burke might chose
to make. He stated that he differed
from the governor politically and
would probably always co so, but that
the people of the state had elected him
tthe goveraor) with the expectation
Of him exercising his pcerogatives and
the power ami authority conferred up
en- him to he the constitution and the
laws Of the state in the making of APP
po!ntmen.s and he (Stsvens) would
be found standing by the executive in
all his actions CT the character. He
did not propose that any man should
point the finger of scorn at him be-
cause he night differ from the COVER
nor OF the state politically and be-
cause he was net subse-vient to the
dictates OF those who opposed him.
The speech was masterpiece worthy
of Warren Hastings AMI when the
Burleigh statesman had closed the
muckrake correspondent dill net even
lock as respectable as thirty cents.
The matter was not rapr.nand to
the correspondent. 1t was scatning
Genunciaticn of the efforts of his con-
duct In sending out as the record OF
the proceedings OF the house tissue
OF falsehcods and fabricat:ons which
are grouped around a fact SO c!everly
that they are ia.en ed TO deceive the
public and create false and injurious
impression among the reading public.

HARRY TlIAW.

Newspapers throughout the civil
lied world are now printing large
headlines containing the name of
Harry Thaw and gathering all the
information possible and reporting
in detail the trial now in progress
in New York because they know it is
a matter that will interest the whole
civilized world
On January %, 1907, in the city OF
New York. before Judge Fitzgerald,
Harry X. Thaw was arraisned for
trial on a charge Of numbering San
ford White on the roof of the Madi-
son Square Garden last June.
Harry Thaw is the son Of very
wealthy man who before he died
willed his vast estate to his wife.
bequeathing to his spendthrift son
only $4,000 annually. Had the man
dates of that fathers will been car
ried out Harry Thaw would not be
on trial today for murder The over
indulgent mother yielded to her sons
frequent demands for large sums of
money until he spent fortunes every
year in high living and rioting and
disgraced his family by marrying a
pretty stage girl who already had
many admirers The $500 a year
his father gave him he bequeathed to
his valet as if to show his disdain
for his father who knew better than
any one else that it would be unsafe
for his son to have the handling of
large sums OF money.
The father and mother both erred,
evidently, in the early training of
that hayward boy; the father erred
in willing his vast estate to a woman
who had no experience in the hand
ling of large property and the mother
erred in breaking that fathers will,
and for all these errors that son is
on trial for the murder of a promi-
nent man.
Because of the large amount of
money that will be expended in try
ing to save the life of hayward son
there is much interest being taken
in this particular case which prom
Uses to be of greater interest than
any former trial.
The attorneys of Harry Thaw have
been dismissed from time to time be-
cause they could see no possible way
Of saving his life only on the plea OF
insanity. To this. young Thaw would
not consent, declaring that he would
rather suffer the penalty of the law
than put up the plea of insanity. AT
last he secured noted criminal at
torney from California for retain
er fee of 100000 who, it is claimed.
