DIRECTS VERDICT
OF NOT GUILTY
j. Dyvig iss Cleared in District Court
At Minot After Short Trial.

Minot, N. D., Dec. 23.--J. .Dyvig,
Charged with selling mortgaged prop
ertyerty, was declared mot guilty" by
the jury at the direction fJusticei
Goss .&y
The question hinged on whethtr or
not there was a sale of threshing
machine from the Welsh Implement
company to Dyvig. It appeared that
Dyvfg bought or agreed to buy
threshing machine from the COM
.pany and was to deliver as part
payment an old machine and give
notes and mortgages for the balance,
the entire consideration being $4,000.
The new machine was delivered to
Dyvig and the old one was left on
the place with the understanding that
WEIGH could get it when he called
for it. WEIGH sold the old machine
to someone else, and the party called
for it. Attornty Gammons, for Dy-
Wig, commended that this was, a tran
saction within the statute of frauds.
and that as there was no written con.
tract in evidence, there was no valid
sale of the property. WEIGH had tes-
titled that Dyvig had signed writ.
ten order for the new machine, and nd
he commended that there was a part
performance of the contract, since the
new machine was delivered to Dyvig
This written order, however, was n moi
produced in court, and Judge Goss
held for this reason that the trans
action was within the statute Of
frauds and therefore, directed a verdict
| for the defendant. -

CHRISTMAS DAY.

Over and above all other festivals
in the depth and sincerity OF its
sentiments, Christmas is the typifica-
tion of the spirit OF the Christian
world. Not, perhops, in point OF
patriotic exaltation. but in the exal-.
tation of the tendeyest and best i'm
pulses of the human heart. Founded
upon the. birth of Christ, Its mes
sage has been carried on and on with
increasing sweetness and tenderness
for nearly two thousand years, and
the sentiment of the day has in.
creased and broadened in charity,
humanity and brotherhood as the
years have come and gone. .Es 5
in this busy and workaday world,
it is we'll that there comes tine--
even as short as a daywhen all
other impulses are checked and put
away except those Of fraternity and
generosity. It would not do to say
1 that, in the practical operations OF
business and affairs, the giving over
of all other impulses would be ex-
aetly practicable. The predomi-
hence Of the Christmas spirit would
be the ideal condition, if it could be
1 carritd out through the entire year.
But it seems that in the struggle for
Individual and personal advance,
4 there is a necessity for sternnsss, for
a degree OF selfishness, and for sell
i aggrandizement.s It is well, thtre'
fore. that we have at least one day
when the heart is in measure freed
j of the selfish impulses that seem
sometimes to be almost necessary in
the plan of creation and evolution
and when there shall be an all per
yading spirit Of love, charity and fel
lowship. S's .si5.
N For does it not prove that the
germ of goodness and kindness ARK
in us all and that, though obscuret
4 or checked by what we deem The
necessities OF self preservation, thu

and tender And so long as tht
Christmas spirit is present in us, ever
though often times hidden or not per

UPWARD TREND OF WAGES.

The announcement of an increase in
wages that will affect some 10000 men
employed by the coke companies, has
a much wider significance than that in
volved in the prosperity of the indus
try making the increase or the benefits
to the men directly concerned. 1t
bears upon the situation generally.
For a year or more there has been
much comment upon the increase in
the cost of living and the tagging
wage. The first effect of returning
prosperity is usually advances in prices
of manufa ctured articles, says the Min
neapolis Journal. Later a general ap-
probation follows. Farm lands ana
products go up, urban realty advances,
the people live better and increased
consumption makes increased cost Of
food and clothing, which the rich feel
not at all, the moderately well-to-do
find offset by their larger incomes and
the laboring man feels most of all.
Experience shows that increases III.
wages always come last.

more today to live than formerly has
been the only discordant note The
pessimists have frequently dwelt upon
it as indicating that the current pros
perity. after all, is hollow. The Opti-
mist has said that the thing would
gradually equalize itself.
The many wage advances Of the past
year did equalize things in great part
and in some instances wages went well
beyond the point necessary for equal
iZation and left margin representing
saving power or higher standard of
living. as the laboring man might see
fit to utilize it.
Now comes 1907 with the process
still on. There could scarcely be a
more favorable sign. There has been
no serious labor disturbance in the
United States for so long that bOr-
rowers of trouble predict that it will
surely come, and that it is the one
thing the country has most to fear. 1t
certainly will not come so long as the
demands Of men are promptly met, as
instanced by the advance in wages of
the telegraphers only a few days ago,
and voluntary wage advances are made
from time to time

While the plot of "The Umpire" is

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN ENGLAND

For many years women have been
active in English politics. Their efforts
along this line are welcomed by the
men when confined to persuasion lev
eled at the sterner sex in the interests
of male candidates for office. Cam
paigning by women goes to lengths in
England which are not known in the
United States, even where the sexes
hold the elective franchise in common,
as in Colorado. In American common
wealths where women are voters they
do their political work among the
members of their own sex. English
women. however, go out after mems
votes and go out after them with a
vengeance
1t is not surprising, therefore. that a
considerable number of women in
England have decided that since they
are welcomed in politics when they
work to induce men to vote for other
men they themselves should be granted
privileges as voters. There are evils
affecting women which they wish to
have reformed. The active leaders of
the movement have arrived at the de-
liberate conclusion that the ballot is
womens by right and that on behalf
of their sex they must insist upon ex-
ercising this right They are convinced.
furthermore, that cause must have
martyrs and they are willing, not to say
anxious. to experience moderate de-
gree of martyrdom for their cause
Whether one is a believer in woman
suffrage or not, one must concede tina.
the women of England who battle with
| the police to prove their determination
to obtain political recognition for their
sex through the ballot are showing the
spirit which wins. Blows received and
imprisonment endured by women of re-
flnement must challenge public atten-
| ton. 1t is probable that either the men
of England will have to stop calling
on women TO engage in active political
campaign work in their behalf or else
they will have to acknowledge that

ADJUSTMENTS


AT Yale" played by Paul Gilmore
and his supporting company at the
Grand last-night, was decidedly out of
the ordinary, as plays generally go.
In brief, it was play of undergradu-
ate life, told faithfully and wildly
with an underweaving of comedy, SEN
timent and moral OF course there
was beautiful young girl with whom
the hero was in love, but even she
played a somewhat minor role, the
action mainly centering around some
dozen college. boys, played by chm
pany of actors singularly suited to
this role.
OF the school room of college life
little is said, the boat race being the
all absorbing theme; but at the same
time the play is not devoid of seri-
Gus side. The college schemer and all
around scamp with whom all college
men are familiar. is shown in his
proper light, as is the man of another
stripe.
What most strongly marks the
play, however, is it's wholesome
cleanliness and total lack of object
tionable features. 1t is what it pre-
tends to be. faithful picture of
actual happenings.
In order to get the proper "atmos-
phere," Paul Gilmore actually went
to Yale short time preceding the
annual boat race and lived the life
of a student, especially studying the
crew and their mode of life. Special
scenery was provided for the various
acts, giving an effect that was quite
good.
The company was a competent one,
but the young star was really the life
Of the play. Last year he pleased .
Greensboro audience in LIE DebOnaire,
and his reception this year was even
more cordial.S
The large audience present gave him
enthusiastic applause, and after the
second act he was called before the
cuhtain for a speech, which was not
the least well done part of the per-
