a SHORT TALK,

On FRIDAY afternoon, the
Rev. William Edwards, of
Christine, N. d., delivered a
lecture on, "rhe Preservation
of Literature, before the teach
ers assembled at the High
School, Wahpeton, for the pur.
pose of examination by Hon. X.
NJ. Black, County Superinten-
dent of Schools for Richland
county. Mr.. Edwards visit
was purely informal, and made
in the interest of the lovers of
literature, among the teachers
of our public schools, and in
part says:
"In the field of literary life
there is ample scope for the
exercise of individual talent.
In studing writer, ask, is
this fancy or prophecy?
We don't have to read Shake
spear! We should seek out
the epigrams in the great
Authors works.
Literature is life! To be apt
students, we must love the
subject; be in sympathy with
mankind, and exercise the
power of a noble patriotism.
In the early days, our fore
fathers imported the literature
of England and other parts of
Europe. This is the basis of
study.
The student of to-day must
recognize the great truism-na
tionalism has become an
established fact in this coun-
try. BY combining the liter
ary influences of our land,
with the literary achievements
of other lands; we go forth in
our mission to educate Amer
ica, thereby educate and bless
the world.
In study the preservation of
literature, there comes to each
of us-the Joy of environment.
The sweet and happy memor-
les of those who have aided
our course Of study will ever
remain with us, both as an in
spiration and encouragement
We are nearing the parting
of the ways, when Rrof. r. NJ

WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY.

The editor of the Minnea-
polls Journal in the issue of
Aug. 18th, boasts of what the
Republican party has done for
the country and, among other
things, it enumerates the fol.
lowing great" deeds perform
ed:
cit has given the masses
freedom, protection, the home
stead and the irrigated farm,
internal Improvements, the
best money, law enforcement,
prosperity"
1t is true that the Republi-
can party freed the negro from
savery, for which it deserves
credit. But it immediatly did
the former slaves an injustice,
aud for the purpose of secur-
ing the negro vote to perpet.
rate that party in power, en-
franchised them and gave
them the ballot while they
were absolutely untitled for it
more so than the average
twelve year old American boy,
vet he has to wait till he
reaches the age of twenty-one
before he can take part in pub
lie affairs. This enfranchise-
ment of the negro was the
worst thing that could have
happened to them, for it has
,engendered class hatred in the
South more than anything else
and has placed the negro as
class in worse position than
when in slavery; so much for
negro freedom.
When the Republican party
came into power, small manu-
facting concerns were in op-
Grafton i'm every town and viii
lage and any mechanic had a
chance to start on scale and
work up. But during Republi.
can control all these small op-
portunities, the opportunity of
the individual we hear so
much about as an argument
against socialism, were des-
troyed and large corporations
and trusts formed which have
{. held, not only the negroes, but
all the people in slavery to
them, different slavery of
course of course but neverthe.
less slavery.
Protection: is it true the
Republican party has granted
protection to trusts and great
corporations and allowed them
to fleece the people, compelling
them to pay whatever they
(the trusts) choose to ask for
all manufactured goods or in
other words the same protec-
tion to the people that vultures
give to lambs.
The homestead and the ir-
rigated farm: it seems to me,
Mr.. Editor, that the Demo.
cratic party enacted the first
homestead law before the Re-
publican party was born. But
giving the Republicans that
law for the sake of argument,
we ask how much of the gov
ernment land that has been
subjected to homestead was
secured by the Republican
party? Didn't Thomas Jeffer-
son, the father of Democracy,
secure to this government the
great territory where the great
bulk of homesteads have been
taken? By the Louisiana Pur-
chase, the Democrats secured
large portion of the great
Northwest and even the
ground now occupied by the
Minneapolis Journal Whether
the Republican party gave the
homestead or not, they certain
ly gave the railroad a great
empire of land that ought now
to be in the hands of the peo.

| y
of the United States. Not only
has the Republican party
donated millions of dollars OF
the peoples hard earne d
money to aid in building the
same railroad, notably the
Union Pacific, and now the
same railroad or the man who
controls it, E. II. Hartman
has grown so rich and arrogant
that he is, or thinks he is,
greater than the government
itself.
Internal Improvements: it
is an easy matter for any party
in power having all branches
of the government, to use the
people money to make i'm
provements. But while the
party has been making inn
provements to which it now
"points with pride" it has at
the same time allowed our
great coal beds,-which the
Almighty placed in the earth
for the benefit of the people,
to be monopolized by few
men who now without regard
to the needs or requirements
of the people, but merely to
satisfy the selfish desires of
the men who control them.
The same thing is true in re-
gard to lumber. The Republi-
can party puts a $500 per
thousand duty upon lumber
to prevent lumber from COM
ing in from Canada, and than
turns around and allows few
men to get control of our great
forests and destroy them, for
the sake of the people? No
but merely to enrich them
selves. The government, the
Republican party, than spends
large suns of the peoples
money to reforest the land
d e CT IN ted by the rich
lumber kings. Great system,
isn't it? And one the party
ought to boast of!
The best money: if the Re
publican party is as great as
it boasts to be, it ought to have
been able in nearly fifty years
of control to have devised the
very best money and banking
system, why panics? Where
do panics come from7 The
people? Oh, no! The people
are not the ones who get
frightened first, but the banks.
Now if our money system is
"the test" what do banks get
scared at, or why is congress
continually trying to amend it7
Especially why was such a
measure as the Aldrich-Vree.
land bill enacted by the last
congress?
Some years ago the farmers
Alliance proposed that the
government issue money on
certificates on grain deposited
in government controlle d
warehouses, or in other words
on grain itself which is actual
wealth. But the very people
who advocated the enactment
of the Aldrich- -Vreeland bill
held up their hands in holy
horror at the idea of basing the
issue of money on anything
like that.
But now what do they want
to use as a basis for issuing
money? Not wealth at all but
evidences of debt such as
notes, bonds, and stocks of var
ious kinds and things that will
continually fluctuate in price,
true that a commissionion will
decide what stocks and bonds
shall be used as a basis for
N ney, which will give
them the power to fix a false
value on pretty shaky paper
and will undoubtedly be able
to hold it up in value for a

Deaths Curtain Falls Ger the Life of
John B. Wallis.

Although for days previous to the
falling of deaths curtain, it was under
stood the life of our townsman. John b.
Wallis, was held by a slender thread.
when the announcement was made Mon
day morning that his spirit had tax en-
its fight, this community experienced
a shock of sadness and regret.
Upwards of five years ago Mr.. Wal

ness from typhoid fever Since then he
suffered at intervals from internal weak
ness. About two weeks ago he was
taken with severe spell which led up
to the necessity of an investigation by
operation. This he survived less than
thirty hours.
John B. Wallis was born on the 29th
of September, 1916, in Cornwall, Eng
land. When two years of age he
came to America with his parents who
made Mineral Point their home; and
this place continued to be the home of
our friend until his death which oc-

TELLS OF REGlCIDE PLOT
Member Of Portuguese House of Lords
Creates Sensation,

Lisbon, July 3.-Dr. Jose Maria de
Alpoim, chief Of the Progressive Dis
sidents, smarting under the insinua-
lions that he was implicated in the
assassination in Lisbon last February
of King Carlos and Crown Prince Luiz,
created sensation in the house of
lords by revealing what he declared to
be the true history of this regicide
plot. He ass erted that the assass1na-
lions had been decided upon at meet
ing of the leaders of the Progressive
and Regeneration parties a few days
before they were carried out Dr. Al
potm charged further that the Repub-
licans proposed to obliterate the entire
royal family, with the exception of
Maria Pia, the mother of King Carlos,
but that the Monarchists insisted that
such general slaughter would be USE
less. Finally Manuel Silva Buissa and
Alfredo Costa, we're given $4,000 and
$4,000 respectively to kill King Carlos
and Premier Franco. Arrangements
were made by other men to cover the
flight of the assassins, but when Buis-
sa and Costa fired their friends lost
their heads and opened fire also.
These shots resulted in the death of
Grown Prince Luiz.
