We Pay Tribute

Today the people of this great
nation are assembling in the
cemeteries thruout the land to
pay tribute to the nations dead
heroes, and grateful homage to
those living. The deeds which
they accomplished and the sacri
fees they made will ever live in
the hearts of the patriots of this
nation. The citizens of Hope and
Steele county are doing their
part. President Roosevelt in
speaking of the G. A. r. said:
We cannot afford as a people
ever to forget for one moment
that ability, far-sightedness, iron
resolution, perseverance, will
ingness to do and dare, are quail
ties to be admired only If they
are put at the service of the right,
at the service of decency and
justice.
THE man who possesses these
qualities and does not shape his
course by a fundamental and un-
%wavering moral principal is a
menace to each and all of us; and
thrice foolish, thrice wicked is
the other man who condones his
shortcomings because of his in
tellectual or physical strength
and prowess.
No amount of good intention,
no amount Of sweetness in life,
no amount of appreciation Of
decency avails in the least in the
rough work Of the world as we
find it, unless back Of the honesty
of purpose, back of the decency
of life and thoughts lies the pow
er that makes a man a man. It
is true Of the individual and it is
true of the nation. It is to the
last degree desirable. I will put
it stronger than that-it is alb
solutely essential that this nation,
if it is to hold the position in the
future that it has held in the past
must act not only within but
without it's borders in a spirit of
justice and Of large generosity to
ward all other peoples"

Hope Takes Two.

The local ball tossers defeated
the Mayville Normal in two
straight games on the local
grounds last Saturday afternoon.
The first game was called at $3.50
and the second game at $50.
THE FIRST GAME.
Both teams put up q good ex-
hibition of the game but the Hope
bunch was too heavy at the stick
and numerically did they pound
Robinson, who was in the box
for the Normal, while Mayville
had trouble in landing on Nelson
for anything heavy. The Hope
bunch played a fine game. Knob
loch, Hopes star player, made a
home run in both games. May
Vile was first at bat and landed a
cipher, while Hope got 2. In the
second Mayville made a score by
base on balls and an infeld hit by
Robinson, which saved a nasty
shut-out game, while Hope got
nothing. In the third Hope didn't
do much to the leather but pound
out five runs. In the fourth
three more. In the fifth and
sixth were presented with two
big ciphers. In the seventh Mel
son and Milligan got busy and
made two more. The seventh
was nothing. Hope did not play
last half of ninth.

defended a Republican.
1t never was known that James ever

When Joseph Gardiner WAS called To the
bar to plead TO having assaulted Fred
Montgomery. Mr.. Williams also stepped
to the bar.

that about two weeks ago Gardiner. while

forcibly that Montgomery spat blood, and
that he then disappeared and returned
but the other day.

saying that he understood that Gardiner,

had been playing pool for some time and
suggested that he had better pay some
money, and that Montgomery punched
him, and that Gardiner struck back, and
expressed the hope that IL the court saw
nj to punish Gardiner a fine would be
imposed.
Judge Lee asked IL Gardiner was drunk
at the time or the assault. Mr.. Williams
said they do not sell liquor at that club.

might have got liquor elsewhere"
Gardiner said he had not been drink

To the stand today when the hearing be-
fore former Judge Ferris, sitting as spe.
cial master, was resumed. Mr.. Fay was
