FARGO NsOLENCE.

The following may be taken as a
fair sample of the recent utterances
of Fargo newspapers anent the coming
state fair at Grand Forks Reference
is also made to other matters which
it seems to the Evening Times are
not germane to Fargoans. who might
better employ their time at home
Grand Forks is perfectly capable of
managing her own affairs without any
assistance from the Cass county
metropolis:
Fargo Forum: Although the man
ayers of the Grand Forks annual
pumpkin show are worrying consider
able about what Fargo is going to do
this year, and are spending most of
their time talking to the newspapers,
the local fair promoters are not wor-
rying about Grand Forks, realizing
that, in the event that it should be
necessary to hold a fair here on the
same date as the fair set for Grand
Forks, Fargo will not suffer, especial
ly as the showing made by Fargo last
year was far better than any hereto
fore made by Grand Forks and trust
to the intelligence of the citizens of
the state to make no mistake in Sc
lecting the best place to send their
exhibits.
One matter which may have some

ROOSEVELT IN 1905.

For several months past-in fact
ever since there began TO be any dis
cussion as to whom shall be the re-
publican candidate for president Of the
United States in 190S-the Evening
Times has consistently advocated that
President Roosevelt shall succeed
himself. his statement of a year ago
to the effec, that he could not again
be candidate Notwithstanding. We
believe that when the sime comes
there will be such a cry and such a
demand from all over the country for
Roosevelt that he will be forced in the
nature of affairs to accede to the wish
es of the people.
Advocates of the plea another four
years for Teddy" are not confined to
any particular locality and republic
can conventions held in more than a
dozen states have emphasized the en-
dorsement.
Anent the subject the Republican
News-Journal of Newkirk, Oklahoma
has the following to say:
The time is arriving in this country
when the people are going to quit
hero-worshipping, in fact there are a
few specks of dawn already observ-
able in this respect. The people have
had good deal of fulsom flattery
about famous senators and other big
statesmen showed at them during the
last hundred years, and some of the
developments and disclosures which
go back fifty years or more about
these men are not very pleasing. The
people have been feasting on the fame
of big men and find they have swallow
ed fly or two along with the other
good things on the bill of fare. The
people are bit sick at the stomach.
In fact they are disguised with the do
ings of a lot of famous fellows.
The people gave modern express
ion to the Monroe doctrine announced
hundred years ago. They are go
ing to define and give expression to
what George Washington meant in his
farewell address about two president
ial terms. The people have right to
place their own constructions on these
things. Once defined they are going
to stick to them. Don't make any

TATTLING.

The ST. Paul Dispatch of Monday.
the current week, has communica-
ton from l.. ]. Wehe, of Edmore, in
which that gentleman portrays in vivid
manner the tortures of the present
winter in North Dakota and in which
he asserts:
The papers of our state have been
Very reluctant to give any reliable in
formation 10 the outside world as to
the true condition of new settlers out
in Ward. Mclean. Williams and Nc
Henry counties. At or near Warwick,
McHenry county. three lady home
steaders We're found frozen to death,
and their bodies We're shipped east on
the same train which the writer was
riding on. Editor Beveridge. of the
Lakota American, mentioned this fact,
so we are informed, and have seen
comments upon him in other papers
for his daring to mention the fact
thereby injuring the state"
The Evening Times would like to
ask of Mr.. Wehe whether or not he
believes the ST. Paul Dispatch will
furnish him with coal or provisions,
and if not. what then was his purpose
in sending out report column in
length. Surely not for purposes of
notoriety.
And, by the way, how is it that Mr..
Wehe is so we'll posted on the situa-
ton in Ward, Williams. and Mclean
counties, when, according to his COM
munication, of which the above is but
paragraph, very few of the towns
have had mail since in December.
Just why it should become neces-
sary to give in glazing headlines ere
liable information to the outside
world" is not apparent on the face of
it to true North Dakotans-men who
have at heart the future welfare of
the state. Five hundred columns of
such communications, especially when
fired at random into the twin city
papers, will not make the railroads
work any faster than they are to re-
lieve conditions-because that is i'm
possible!

That the people or the United States
will demand the denomination of Theo-
dore Roosevelt we earnestly believe.
That he will be elected by an unpre-
cedented majority we also believe.
Theodore Roosevelt has become the
nations ideal hired man. There is
piece of work to be done and Roose-
welt has proven himself the right man
TO do the work.
If the people believed that he had
served two terms they would re-elect
him president. But they do not con-
strue the service he gave as president
when he fulfilled the uneXpired term
of Mckinley as a presidential term
TO which he was elected and within
the meaning of the warning laid
down by George Washington.
The country is gong through crisis
of regeneration and reforms. These
reforms and the great Panama Canal
must become accomplished facts be-
fore the people will relinquish their
hold on the only man at the head of
affairs in whom they have complete
confidence.
This is not a question of hero wor-
ship at ALL 1t is simply a question of
work to be done and this work so vital
and the qualities of Roosevelt so GER
tain, there seems to be no alternative.

be heard on these matters and not
have the greater portion of the re-
mainder of the session devoted to them
alone. The apportionment bill is
something on which every member will
desire to be heard. 1t is the founda-
ton for the representation in the leg
islature for several years. The west
ern members who realize that If they
get anything like justice, they will
have largely increased representation
from that part of the state, also real
lie that they will have bitter fight
to win. The older portions will not
give up their representation which in
some instances at least, legislates
members out of Office, without making
a struggle to retain the same. For in
stance. it will be decidedly humiliating
to the delegation from Grand Forks
county to be compelled to return to their
constituents with two less repre-
sentation in the house than they came
here with. They will in all probabili-
ty fight for retention of their pres
tige, and the same condition wild be
true in nearly every older county in
the state. The members from that
particular county will be loaded with
facts and figures which the committee
appointed to prepare-or rather re-
port-the bill which the majority has
adopted, will not have, and it is not
likely that the members will be will
ing to have the law passed without at
least being heard.
The last legislature passed during
the days it was in session 1874 bills,
many of them important ones. If the
present legislature does as much in
the way of earning its salary it will
have to pass on an average seven bills

bearing on the Grand Forks show, not
directly, however. is a proposal to put
the Grand Forks street car system out
of business. At present the line is
imperative on account Of snow. 1t is
proposed, however, to introduce a
measure in the legislature revoking the
aid given the street railway system
by the state in furnishing power for
running the line from the state uni
versity power plant. While the line
is operated in a measure for the bene-
fit of the university. it is owned by a
private corporation.

THE CASE OF MRS. JOHN
BROWN

st. Cloud Times %: Married, COM
mitted to an insane asylum and the
principal in q case of desertion, are
the features of the strenuous life
which Mrs. John Brown, formerly
Mrs. c. B. Buchanan, has led during
the past two or three months.
Mrs. Brown left Sank Rapids last
Saturday evening ostensibly for Little
Falls, but the fact is that she has gone
for good and will MT return to her
husband. Mr.. Brown did not realize
this fact until Tuesday evening when
he was told by some of his friends
the truth of the whole matter. He
telephoned to Little Falls but he could
not get an answer from anyone and
he is of the opinion that Mrs. Browns
relatives are behind the whole deal.
Mrs. Buchanan and John Brown
were married about two months ago.
It was one of the greatest surprises
In many moons in the quiet vilag of
Sank Rapids, but it seemed to bv q
very happy match. It was not long
bef.re movement was made to have
Mrs. Brown examined as to her
sanity. She was taken before Jud 20
Of Probate McCardy and was declared
insane. She was committed to the
insane hospital at Fergus Falls A
short time after this an effort was
made at Little Falls to have gardian
appointed for Mrs. Buchanan, az she
has considerable property there. Here
is where Mr.. Brown stepped In and

asserted his rights aud he told his
wife's relatives living in tho Gold
Dust city that he thought his wife
had been committed to the asylum
without due cause and that he was
going to nave her released. He did 20
to Fergus Falls and he brought Mrs
Brown back with him.
Now Mr.. Brown is of the opin ion
that the relatives of his wife are
behind the scheme to get her away
from him.
1t is claimed by him. that there is
a scheme on foot to have his mar
rage with Mrs Buchanan annulled on
the ground that she was not mentally
right when the ceremony was per-
formed.
Mr. Brown says that he will
demand bis rights. Mrs. Brown was
accompanied On the journey out west
by Mrs. G. W. Willing, het daughter.
They have gone to Everett, WASH,
and it is said that they will make
their home there.
After it had all dawned on him Mr..
Brown went to their apartments and
he discovered that all of Mrs. Brown g
furniture was taken out and sold. It
is said that she sold it to another
daughter. The otker furniture, etc.
in the Brown apartments belonged to
Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Dewey.
