In Chicago-the street sales the first
thirty minutes after the special was

remain unsold, the total sales passing
the 900 mark. The sales on the regu-

In this connection 1t might be in
teresting to note Just what effect the
reduction of price on street sales of
from cents to 1 cent. made by the
Evening Press, has upon the sales of
the Evening Times. Two newsboys
stood on the corner Of the Dacotah
hotel between 4 and 8 p. m. yester-
day. One had bundle of Presses un-
der his arm. the other bundle of
Times. At 5 o'clock the Press boy
had sold fourspapers. SO he said, and
the Times boy had sold twenty-three
copies. and was starting for the
Times Office to lay in a fresh supply.

BADLY CORNERED.

The Morning Herald and its CO.
laborer in the political vinyard, the
Evening Press, have been placed in
the most hunliliating position two al
legged newspapers were ever placed,
by the letters which have been sent
to them respectively, and which are
published elsewhere in these columns
today. Both the papers falsified their
news columns in order to create a
prejudice against Senator Hans
brough. But both are now struggling
to make the best of statement which
has placed them in a decidedly unen-
viable position politically.
The story which was published in
the Herald and in the Press, was to
the effect that Senator Hansbrough
had been present at a dinner-popu-
larry known as the "rich mems din
ner'-at which plan was formulated
for the defeat of President Roosevelt
The Evening Times stated at the time,
basing it's judgment on the customary
unreliability of the Herald news COL
umns, that the story was either pro-
cured from subsidized news bureau
or was manufactured out of whole
cloth. The latter seems to have been
the correct surmise.
The truth of the matter is-and this
was the story sent out by the Associ-
ated Press and printed in hundreds of
papers all over the country-that at
a dinner in Washington which was
attended by Senator Hansbrough, the
presidents private secretary, William
Loeb, and a number of other close
friends of the president, it was dis
covered that plot had been Matched
in Wall street for the purpose of de-
feating the reelection of the presi-
dent.
The Herald deliberately twisted the
Washington dinner which was attend
ed by Senator Hansbrough into that
meeting in Wall street at which the
plot was Matched. These are the
facts. The Herald stated they were
otherwise and the public can measure
the Herald's political honesty in the
matter. 1t is admitted that the Herald
is a political enemy of Senator Hans

brough, and If it can scar its con-
science sufficiently to be such, it has
a perfect right to its position. 1t is
moral cowardice and political dis
honesty, however, to wilfully misrep-
resent facts in order to place politi-
cal enemy in false light.
The Herald is made to prove its own
error in the communication which
was sent to it by the senator in which
he offers, if the Herald can find one
OF the persons who are familiar with
the facts, who will substantiate its
statement, to Immediately resign
his position so that the demo-
cratic governor which the Her
aid helped to elect may appoint his
successor. The Herald must make
good or stand before the people of
this state branded as political falsi-
fer. The contention of the Herald
has been that Senator Hansbrough
does not represent the people of the
state. 1t now has the opportunity to
displace him merely by establishing
the truth of a statement made in its
own columns and sent out to its read
ers as news. Will it dare do it?
Never. The statement was false in
the first place and its truthfulness
can never be verified.
Meantime, when cornered and COM
PEELED to admit its falsity or remain
silent, the Herald lodged the issue
like a defeated pettyfogger and set
up new cry about what the people of
this state would do. 1t refused to be
honest.
So far as the primer edition of the
Hearst school of sensation is con-
cerned it possibly will have the pleas
ure of acquiring a small bit of I'M
SdSOIS uOlOl1clS. ouI IL IuClC was
any truth in the story which it pub
lished, it has the golden opportunity
of it's consumptive life in giving the
state a democratic senator. Senator
Hansbrough offers in case it can sub
stantiate the truth of its story to re-
sign at once and allow Governor
Burke to appoint democrat to sue
coed him. The issue is up to the
democratic organ. But it will never
be able to make good, and after using
lines of ninety line wood type to say
nothing, it will strut over what it did.
The issue is clear for the two demo-
cratic dailies of the city to make good
or, be branded as newspapers which
substitute and falsify their news col
umns for the purpose of accomplish
ing temporary political advantage.

PUT UP OR SHUT UP.

Herald and Press Driven Into Hole
and Unable to Get Out.
The following letters written by
Senator Hansbrough to the Grand
Forks Herald and Grand Forks
Press are self explanatory.
The letter to the Herald follows:
April II, 1907.
To the Editor
My attention has been called to your
issue of the 7th, containing some SEN
sational and decidedly misleading
headlines setting forth that l recently
attended dinner at which "plot
was Matched to encompass the down.
fall of President Roosevelt and his
policies.
l have no kind of doubt that un-
prejudiced readers of your paper dis
covered for themselves that palpable
injustice contained in YOUR headlines,
because these headlines were not IN
any particular whatever justified by
the story contained in the Associated
Press dispatches over which, with
malice aforethought you wrote them.
Again, no one familiar with the policy
of your paper would expect you to
forego the slightest opportunity to
misrepresent me. The habit to do so,
has become chronic in the Herald Of
fice
1t is strange indeed that the dis
patch referred to, which was printed
in hundreds of papers throughout the
country on that date, was miscon-
strued and perverted by the Herald
only; that every other Associated
Press paper throughout the United
States or elsewhere, publishing as
they did the Same dispatch from
Washington. regarded the dinner as
having been given by friend of the
president. only friends of the presl-
dent being present All Associated
Press dispatches dealing with the sub
ject, have referred to plot Matched in
Wall street, and not at a dinner in
this city, and that this was discovered
in the talk that took place at dinner
attended by friends of the president,
including myself.
You should explain how 1t happened
that the presidents private secretary,
William Loeb. Jr., attended dinner
given, as you falsely tried to make 1t
appear, by interests hostile to the
president, and how Senator Bourne
and Delegate Andrews, two of the

the importance Of having an electric
street car line in the city. Nearly all
the prospective buildings with the ex-
ception of half a dozen business
blocks, will be residences. These
must necessarily be constructed sew
eral blocks from the business part Of
the city, and in the winter time the
task of reaching this business portion
from the outlying streets is a serious
one.
If these residences are built by
business men they are at decided
disadvantage in getting to and from
their places of business. II they are
occupied by men who are employed in
down town work, they have the same
trouble. The growth of the city is in
fact ,retarted because of the means of
reaching the several parts of the city
at small cost.
Grand Forks is destined to be one
of the leading cities of the northwest
and most certainly the largest of the
state. This increase in population
must be largely composed of people
who find employment and engage in
business in the city. To secure desir-
able lots even now makes it necessary
to go from seven to twelve blocks
from the main business houses. In
this age OF commercial activity this
distance is entirely too much to cover
on foot especially during the winter.
Nothing will ever relieve this con-
dition except the construction of
street car line which reaches every
portion of the city.
The money which would ibe Elk
pended in building and operating such
line would be decided advantage
to the city, and the employment it
would give would make it as valuable
as small manufactury. 1t would be
an advantage in this particular to the
city as we'll as providing the means
by which the growth of the city can
be kept up with its opportunities.

Herald's Fake Story.

Jamestown Alert)
Some Of the active opponents of
Senator Hansbrough are making a
great racket over the alleged fact
that he attended the so-called mill
ionaire's dinner. at which five millions
were said to have been pledged to
carry out plans to defeat the nomi-
nation of President Roosevelt for a
second term This whole story bears
the impress of the fake writer of SEN
satiohal newspaper articles. No
group of millionaires are going to
get together at dinner and dis
cuss or reveal plans and pur-
poses as alleged In the above matter.
The probabilities are that if any such
plans were ever laid by any influen-
tial public men or by any capitalists
a death like stiffness would have fol-
lowed, for the very publicity of the
plan would kill 1t. There is no doubt
that Roosevelt is more popular in this
state than ever, and in the entire west
as well, and congressman who are can
didates for reelection know this to

The accuracy of the Grand Forks
Herald can be judged when it charges
Senator Hansbrough as being in the
supposed conspiracy recently exposed
to defeat Roosevelt for the nomination
for third term. On the very same
day that the Herald accuses Hans of
being in the deal the Minneapolis Jour-
nal, in special article on the first
page. prints the dispatch that Senator
Hansbrough is the first one to carry
the news of the conspiracy to the
White House. It is always we'll to
verify any statement the Herald prints
regarding our delegation at Washing
ton before believing it.
