law as written, though the same
sentiment would prefer the law
written otherwise In this case it
is decidedly the part Of wisdom
to observe the law.
There are some cities and towns
in the state where Sunday closing
has been unknown, and the idea
is counter to the accepted ideas
of personal liberty. But it is de-
cidedly the part of wisdom to let
these ideas of personal liberty give
way to the public sentiment that
stands behind any law, if nothing
more. The only way to prevent I'LL
innate state prohibition is to abide
by the laws that are made, and to
hold the business up to the high
est plane possible. The liquor deal
ers were wise in the view they took
of the matter.

DEMOCRACY AND EQUALITY

A paradox and strange, yet it is
for a democracy, based on the
principle that all men are created
free and equal, to demonstrate
that men are not equal, and that a
true democracy is not possible.
When democracy strips off the
gauds and trappings Of roydlty
and family, when it demands that
a man shall stand naked before
the world on his manhood and in
trinsic worth, it shows the real in
equality of men in all the essentials
or lack of them that constitute real
manhood.
But best of all the potentiality
is there, and no man can say when
the real man shall appear, or
whence he shall spring. The his
, tory of the nation for a century and
half has shown that. A roster of
the great men of the nation shows
how men may rise from nothing,
and contemporary life shows how
men may sink back into nothing
by the third generation even.

NO ROOM AT THE A. & NJ.
COLLEGE.

The following official announce
ment has been made by President
Harrington of the Agricultural
and Mechanical College:
"The Agricultural and Mechanic
al College is OVERCOMING with stu
dents. Some 600 are on the ground
and this is considerably more than
it will be possible to accommodate
comfortably. Twenty-four extra
tents have been ordered and one
of the old buildings on the grounds
has been converted into barracks,
but even with this increased space
some Of those already here must
be turned away and it is entirely
useless for any others to come or
to make application. "
The above announcement is a
sad commentary on the great and
rich state Of Texas. Texas, with
lcore rich agricultural lands thaa
any state in the union, with broader
gestures and more cattle and horses
with more rice and truck lands
fruits, from semi-tropical to the
each, apple and pear, the leading
cotton state, with greater activity
in the Development of latent agri.
cultural resources than any Other
state, actually Is too niggardly to
furnish adequate room and facili-
tits for the education of her young
nsn, Nor is there any excu ie
whatsoever for this state Of affairs.
Instead of trying to regulate
everything under the sun the thir-
tieth legislature could have better
srent its time in making adequate
provision for educating the youth
of the state in such manner as
they are being provided for at the
4 &fM. College Really, the stats
SHOULD have not one, but three or
four such colleges. The one it has
is good enough, but it is not large
enough, its facilities not adequate
fol' the demand upon it. 1t tax IS
a state long time to learn that
the best money it can spend is for
the education Of it's children. Texas
likes to boast of its great school
frnd, its university and colleges,
but it forgets that relatively these
things are small. Most states in
the union, in proportion to popu
lation and wealth, do vastly more
il, the way of education than does
TnSas. There is no excuse what
sewer for Texas allowing such a
STAT of affairs as now exists at th'
College.

NEWSPAPERS AND TRANS
FORMATION.

The Austin Statesman insists
! that there is nothing whatsoever in
the present anti-pass law to pro
hibit contract made in god faith
between newspapers and the rail-
roads wherein advertising space is
exchanged for transportation.
Editor Imboden is lawyer, and
Inns opinion is supposedly given
professionally as well as editorial
ly. Express.
The railroads will not take any
chance in the making of such con-
tracts, and no newspaper man yet
has felt like laying himself liable
for Imprisonment and fine for u.s.
ing such transportation. The exc
cutive committee Of the State Press
Association expects to take the
matter up, and no doubt but that
by the beginning of the new year
something will be done toward
finding out where we really are at.
Reason and common sense, two
qualities that the recent legislature
did not give evidence Of possess.
ing to any great extent, uphold
7 the view of Lawyer-Editor limbo
den. AT the same time the frater-
nifty OF the weekly press are staying
at home, while the balance in cash
! in favor of the dailies is growing
by reason OF the new law. The mat
ter is a deeper one than the mere
buying of so much space as the
merchant buys it. The railroads
recognized, the help, indirect thu
needed help, of the smaller papers
in the development of the country
they traverse, knowing that future
returns will justify the help they
can give the weekly papers in the
way of transportation. The trouble
is that they do not recognize il
clearly enough to go down into
their Golfers and dig up the cash fol
space in these papers, though the
/ papers must spend the cash to ride
on their trains. At the same time
they are ready enough to buy the
space in the dailies which they
must have.
Tie result of this is a hardship
totally unnecessary on the part OIL
the papers, save some dozen daihe'
in the state. We fail to see tn,
force in the argument on the par
Of the railroads when they say, il
regard to cash contract, thai
their appropriation is exhausted
They know at the same time tina
the newspaper men must pay the
cash, having no appropriation fol
cash for railroad fare, and nobody
to make it, if they want to ride
And business compels them to
travel some Are the railroads
carrying quite fair with the news
papers, aside from the dozen daile.
in this respectl 1t is the duty q
the newspapers to see that justice
is done them.

FARGO NEEDS MORE
CASH FOR "Y'
BUILDING
New Plan is Evolved to Raise
Balance Needed to Complete
New Structure.

Fargo, N. D., April 25.-The Fargo
people are going to be called upon
for $14,661.96 to be used in complet-
ing the Y. M. c. A. building in this
city. This money must be subscribed
within the next few weeks, and if 1t
is not. the association officers stand
to lose from $4,000 to $4,000. A
new plan has been evolved to secure
this money. The plan as outlined is
as follows:
To prevent a loss of from $4,000
to $4,000, the Y. M. C. A. building
fund must be completed within the
next two weeks.
There are doubtless a few indi-
viduals who have not as yet made
a contribution to this fund who will
do so before May 1, but the bulk of
the balance needed must evidently
come from those who have already
subscribed once or twice to the fund
Much of it will doubtless come from
individuals who have made the most
liberal contributions thus far offered.
In view of these facts and also of
certain other local conditions it seems
best to the directors of the association
to spread this subscription over a
period of five years. The balance
needed is $14,661.96. BY this method
$2,932.39 a year for the next five years
will complete the enterprise.

WAS A GOOD PIPE DREAM
Story About Illinois Spinsters Adyer
Using for Husbands Joke, Says
Visitor In the City.

According to A. ]. Jackson. a trav-
cling man who halls from Danville,
ILL.,. and was in Grand Forks today,
the story about the spinsters of that
city appealing to the bachelors to
marry them through the columns of
the newspaper which was circulated
throughout the country was all joke
and originated in the brain of the
Danville editor.
Mr.. Jackson also states that so far
as he knows no effort was made by
the old maids of the town or anyone
else to have a special tax put upon
bachelors.
''The only place l ever heard or saw
anything about the matter was in the
columns of our local newspaper"
said Mr.. Jackson. "In reply to the
article which was purported to be
written by the old maids, number of
the prominent bachelors of the town
wrote an article in which they ex-
pressed their perfect willingness to
meet the women half way in the mat
ter of matrimony."

COUNTY AUDITORS
READING Up NEW
CODE
Among Other Things Bonds of
Abstractors Have Been
Raised.

County Auditor Hans Anderson and
presumably other auditors in the
various counties of the state. are busy
persuing the pages of the popular
edition" of the laws of North Dakota
enacted at the Tenth assembly and
published by r. d. Hoskins of Bis
marck. "A person needs to study
carefully the new laws" said the gem
ial auditor of Grand Forks county to
an Evening Times representative to-
day. "If he overlooks anything he is
very likely to make mistake that
would be costly both to himself and
to the county,"
A good many changes in the laws
were enacted at the last session and
these changes will be gone over
thoroughly at the state convention
of county auditors to be held in Grand
Forks the coming summer. Among
the number that are apt to he over
looked is one raising the bonds of the
abstractors This law was introduced
by Senator Plain, S. B. No. 2S9, as an
amendment to section 22S1 of the
Revised Code, relating to the abstract
ing of title.
The new law says in part: ct
shall be unlawful for any person, firm,
or corporation to engage in the bust
ness of making or compiling abstracts
of title to real estate without first
filing in the Office Of the county audi
tor in the county in which said bust
ness is conducted. surety bond to
the county in the penal sum of ten
thousand dollars for each and every
ten thousand inhabitants, or major
part of that number residing within
such county as shown by the official
federal or state census last taken
prior to the filing of such surety
bond"
In Grand Forks county this will
raise the bonds of abstractors from
the former figure, $4,000, to 100000
as the population is slightly over the
$4,000 mark. Under the old rule
either personal or surety bond was
accepted. County Auditor Anderson
states that these bonds must be in
before May 1. and he is notifying the
abstractOrS to this effect.

IN GAMBLING GAME.

Golden were arrested at Minneapolis
on the charge of robbing H. l.. Ward
a North Dakota man. of $1,000 1t may
