Those Dinky Dailies.

(Williston Herald.)
The democratic papers of the state
have nearly all come out the first of
the week with big flaring headlines
and a big story about a dinner that
was held in the city of Washington and
at which Senator Hansbrough was said
to be present, and at which plans for
the killing of the Roosevelt policies
were made. There is no information
: that might lead one to believe that
such plans were made, and it is I'M
doubtedly gotten up for the sake of
political hotshot for some of the dinky
dailies of this state. The people of
this state are for Roosevelt first, last
and all the time, and the democratic
papers OF the state know this we'll.
The Herald believes that Senator
Hansbrough is a ready supporter of
Roosevelt, and it will take more than
the sayso. of a few democratic dailies
of the state to change our mind ON the
matter. Hansbrough has been work.
ing with the president for the past few
years in the interest of the states peo-
pie. and so far as is known is still do
ing the same stunt.

very heart of the city, and will at
that time be worth half as much as
they with their improvements cost at
this time. The development of the
city will make this increase in value
while the rent of the property during
that time will have made a decidedly
good rate of income.
Men are making investments in
farm lands for speculative purposes
and expect to have it double in value
in ten years. Grand Forks city pro-
perty will do that and more too, and
while doing so will give the investor
an income which is not effected by
drougths or rust or fax wilt In fact
the building of residence property in
Grand Forks at this time is certainly
the best and safest investment in the
northwest.

show that the peope who had stood for
temperance and for Strengthening the
present laws voted against the initia-

exception Of the democrats who voted
for the measure because it was a party
one which the state democratic con-
vention had endorsed.

provided It ID kept out of court, he

statement they know nothing Of It and
caanot discuss It for publication.
In connection with the story as to
Abe Hummel's securing a settlement

certain letters, Mr.. O'Flaherty admit

however. Mrs. Wood did not surrender
all the letters, for there is evidence
that she still has in her possession
certain communications claimed to
have been written to her by the sena-
tor. 1t Is said that this argument
whereby Attorney Hummel secured IL
settlement OF $4,000 in Mrs. Woods
favor. Of which sum he secured por-
ton was made soon after Mrs. Woods
threat to publish under the title, Love
Letters of Boss" the letters written
to her by Senator Platt.
Mr.. Flaherty was asked whether or
not the bill of complaint in the d.
vorce proceedings contained any pro-
vision with reference to alimony. He
stated that It did not, but that this
question would necessarily come up
incidentally in the event of a decree
of divorce. The proceeding is now in
its initial stages only.
Miss Wood, or Mrs. Wood, as it is
said she is, is about forty years old.
1t Is alleged that her acquaintance
with Senator Plat began on her re-
turn from trip abroad in 1900, and
that soon thereafter she secured po-
sition in the government service in
Washington through the influence and
aid of the senator. AS stated, it is
alleged that the couple were married
on November 9, 1901, whereas the
marriage to Mrs. Janeway was SUBJ
sequent thereto by nearly two years.
It Is said that the reason given by
Senator Plat for keeping his alleged
marriage with Mrs. Wood secret was
that the ceremony occurred soon after
the death Of his first wife, and that
he might be criticized by his friends
II his marriage were made public at
the time.
1t can be stated authoritatively that
the bill filed In the case does not
name fifteen or sixteen correspondents
as alleged, nor ony indeed, but merely
recites the fact of Senator Platt's mar
riage to Mrs. Janeway as ground for
divorce. 1t not being deemed neces-
sary to drag in any other matter not
necessary to the establishment of the
claim on which the divorce Is sought.
While the firm of O'F1aherty & Full
ton decline to disclose their evidence
in advance of the trial, they express
the belief that they can establish the
marriage of Mrs. Wood to Senator
Plat at the time elleged, and that
the suit is bona fida one in every
detail.

China $3.50 piculs of opium, of the
total value Of 34,070,021 taels.
"As to the amount of native opium
produced we have very little informa-
ton. The only index of the internal
movement of native opium is found in
the statistics of the Ichang customs,
and there, including both steamer
borne and junk-borne, the quantity of
1905 was 36,311 piculs, on which the
uniform tax was taels 11s. SO per picul.
1t is safe, therefore, to conclude that
the income to the government on ac-
count of the opium trade is not far
from 10000 Xix taels, equal to UNITED
States gold) $51 100000 annually.
"The vast importation in 1905, to-
gether with the amount of native OPT
UNI produced, almost staggered belief.
and renewed efforts were made by the
anti-opium leagues throughout the en-
pire. which were assisted by the mis-
sionaries, and as a result one of the
greatest possible reforms has been in
augurated. Already importation has
greatly decreased, by one-half in 1907.
I'm this connection it is worthy of
note that hospitals are being erected
in Tientsin by the charitably inclined,
where good medical attention is prom

1T is also worthy Of note that Tang
Shao /, one of the vice presidents at
Pekin, has proposed that crusade by
preaching" be organized throughout
the eighteen provinces in order to
reach the ear of the millions of litter
ates who use opium. He declared that
for some years to come China will need
all the help she can get. II the same
interest is being taken in all the other
provinces that is being shown In the
province of Chilli the movement will

Virginia. Both stand high at the bar.
These fact alone give assurance that
the two gentlemen believe they have
a good case. They are confident that
Senator Plat married Mrs. Wood at
the Fifth Avenue hotel in New York,
on November 9. 1901, prior to the mar
rage of the senator to Mrs. Lillian
Janeway. which occurred In October,
1903. They have what purports to be

Ubiquity Of Friends,

There is something in the feeling
Of loneliness when one lands in
strange city that causes a glad cry
when one meets total stranger whose
face happens to be familiar. For that
reason hardly anyone need feel COM
pletely lost in New York, because one
is always meeting someone whose face
has place in the memory. Not long
ago a young woman walked into a
Broadway hotel feeling that she was
q stranger in strange hotel. She
walked up to the desk and put her
name on the register. "You want a
room with bath of course, Miss Thomp-
son" said the clerk, and his voice was
strangely familiar. The young woman
looked up with a quizzical glance, and
the clerk smiled: 1T was in the Pal
ace Hotel in Frisco last time" was
all he said. But it was a familiar
face, and, therefore, he was welcomed
as an old friend.
