NEW ORLEANS DEBT TO
TOURO INFIRMARY.
DAILY ltem.l

\Ddlly 1GClll'J
For years this community has
benefited by the public spirit and
altruis1m of the Jews. The
chance is now ours not merely
to show our appreciation but to
render cur aid. The city govern
ment will undoubtedly contribute
it's share, but it would be a splen-
did thing if some Of our wealthy
men Of other creeds and races
were to send in their money now
to tighten the burden which a
small part of the community has
borne so long for the whole.
Let us take count, for a mo-
mcnt, of what the Touro has
done for the people of this city.
The Touro Infirmary has be-
come the uptown Charity Hospi-
5al. During the year ending
March 81 the outdoor free clinic
gave treatment to 35,823 pa
TENTS. How large a proportion
Of the Touro's patients pay moth
ing is shown by these figures:
The expenditures for the past
year were $102,306.87, and the
total receipts were $86,228. 30.
Of these receipts, only a little
over $4,000 was received from
paying patients. The rest was
contributed by the Jewish peo-
pie.
The free clinics and operating
room of the Touro fill a want
WHICH the Charity Hospital can
not supply. The poor of the up
own districts, to whom the long
car ride would be an expense
and a burden, now have a hospi-
tal at which they may receive
the same treatment free and
close at hand.
Then, too, there are many of
the poor, especially women, who
shrink from the publicity Of such
an institution as the Charity
Hospital, with it's crowd of stu
dents Witnessing onerations and
Ipoor Of this class the Touro has

FRIDAY MARCH II, 1908.
A MORAL VIEW OF IT

Children are advised by their
parents concerning the high duties
Of citizenship, and our school
books set forth numerous examples
in this regard. Fourth Of July
orators and ministers tell us what
civic righteousness is and our great
president drives the lesson home,
puts it into practice, in his every
deed and word With the great
truth constantly before us one
would suppose that it would be
out of all question that here in
this fair young state, where NOR
atty is the popular rule, such a
thing as the deliberate, premedi-
tated and prearranged purchase of
a seat in the United State Senate
would be most improbable. And
yet here in Mclean county, as
elsewhere in the state, before the
very gaze of everyone, in defiance
of public opinion, an ambitious in
dividual plans his senatorial cam
paign upon a Doodle platform,
pays for newspaper support and
distributes his dollars among those
willing to obey his behests.
A noble example to put before
the rising generation!
Where is there any real senti.
ment in support of the candidacy
of @. b. Little? Who, except his
paid a%atterers, has sought to per-
suade Little to put himself into
the race? Nobody. It is purely
a ase Of self-seeking, totally de-
void of popular APPROVAL candi-
dacy indeed with naught but self
ishness as a basis.
And for what does this man
Little stand that appeals to the
welfare Of this or any other COM
munity? Does he not represent
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1908-03-13

and if he were in the Senate would
he not favor those elements in our
commercial and industrial economy
that are most detrimental to the
common interest? He himself,
with his Legislative history and his
affiliations we'll understood by the
people of this state, would not
deny the fact.

Sen. johnson of Mclean county,
four times representative from Nc
Lean, and one of the we'll known
politicians of the state, is spending
the day in Minot among his polit-
ical friends. Mr.. johnson is one
of the strong Hansbrough sup
porters, and is doing his mite for
the Senator Ward County Re-
porter.
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1908-03-13

Senator 3. B. Little, candidate
for U. S. senate, was in Minot yes
terday, looking after his political
interests. Many of the papers
over the state are boosting for this
gentleman and have large mental
oil paintings of him with wings,
personifying a guardian angel of
the people, but when the facts are
shown as regards Mr.. Little's re-
lations to the harvester trust, his
deal with the elevator and grain
companies, and his obligations to
the lumber pirates, he may not
take so we'll.
Smooth words play gently on the
ear and have a soothing effect, but
before the primaries there will be
time for the people to become ed
ucated as to MIR. Little.
He has played the game long
and hard in this state and has
been a standing candidate at every
senatorial election since statehood.
Just wait till the campaign opens
and you will hear every corpora
ton elevator, lumber and grain
man in the country talking for
him. The more the people hear
of Little the less they want of him.

Typewriter
The Standard Visible Writer

You can write any of these things yourself if
you do not happen to have a stenographer.
For you can easily learn, with a little practice,
to write just as rapidly, and as perfectly, as an
expert operator on the Oliver. Because the
Oliver is the simplified typewriter. And you
can see every word you write. About 80 per
cent more durable than any other typewriter,
because it has about 80 per cent less wearing
points than most other typewriters.
80 per cent easier to write with than these
other complicated intri, ate machines that
require '..humoring'--technical knowledge
long practice and special skill to operate.
Than machines which cannot be adjusted to
any special space-with which it is impossible
TO write abstracts, insurance policies, or odd
sized documents except you buy expensive
special attachments requiring experts to
operate.
You can adjust the Oliver to any reasonable
space..you can write on any reasonable size
and thickness Of paper, right out to the edge,
with out the aid of any expensive attach
meut or special skill, and your work will be
neat appearing, legible and clear.
For the Oliver is the typewriter for the doc
tor, the lawyer, the insurance agent, the mer-
chant, the hotel .proprietor-or any man who
does his own writing.

Garrison, N. d. Mar. 2,--To the
Forum: When the laboring man
comes to vote he ought, for his
own interest, to be very sure that
the men for whom he votes are
tired, honest men. The man who,
when his tax assessment is not
higher than lis neighbors, because
he has a pull with the board of
equalization, gets his taxes divided
is not an honest man. The man
whose property is that to which
the government has given the
power of money for the good Of all
for the purpose Of etfecting ex-
changes, and which, as Carlyle
said, is not property, in the ordin-
airy sense, who takes advantage Of

property as excessive usury, and by

ties robs them Of their hard earn
ings, is not an honest man. The
man who has amassed wealth by
the manufacture CT sale of what
contributes to the vices Of men and
the Generalization of community,
can not be an honest man. The
man who is not known, under all
circumstances, to do by the neigh
Dor as he would have the neighbor
do by him, is not a fit man to be
entrusted with public affairs. The
reason why the laborer can get nc
national legislation that favors
him is because he has been voting
for men who are not honest, or
who we're not honest, or who were
blinded, by their own self-interest'

Two years ago the Republican
party in North Dakota had a break
in it's "rank and 6le." It resulted
in an Insurgent and Stalwart gang
in that wing of politics. The scalp
of the senior senator who was affl-
lated with the Stalwarts, then was
planned to be taken with several
other political scalps. Since that
time they have been after it with
''hammer and tongs." But the
good work of HI. G. Hansbrough,
the senior senator, for his constit-
uents has stood the ravages of two
years and he is still a popular
candidate for the U. S. Senate to

OYSTER BAY Is SCENE OF
 LENGTHY CONFERENCE

Oyster Bay. N. r., July 12.-Presdent Roosevelt conferred this afternoon with Secretary of State Elihu Root and Assist ant and Acting Secretary of State Robert Bacon at the Presidents home on Saga more Hill for almost four hours The ex- act nature of their deliberations could not be learned It is presumed, however, that state affairs of an important nature was the subject of their discussion. It is thought likely that the foremost subject was the situation at present existing be- tween the United States and Venezuela.
 Secretary Root, who completed a course at Muldoon's farm at White Plains N. T., came across Lond Island sound this morning in the government yacht Sylph, which had been sent over for him. Act ing Secretary Bacon was at his home in Westbury, L. l., and came to Sagamore Hill in an automobile, arriving shortly after o'clock.

CONDITION OF COTTON
 IS VERY MUCH IMPROVED

Memphis, July 12.-The Commercial Appeals weekly cotton crop summary follows:
 All cotton grew very rapidly last week since rain fell quite generally over ths cotton region. Conditions are trifle more irregular than the previous week how ever, because the rainfall was excessive at points in North Carolina, South Caro- lima, Louisiana and Texas. The mpor- tant complaints come from Southern and South Central Texas, where rains were often continuous, causing some shedding of bolls by the cotton plant and an ap- precIable increase in the nusaber of boil weevils.
 In Alabama and the states bordering on the Mississippi river the crop is in very fine condition: The rainfall was altogeth- CT beneficial and the outlook is nearly all that it can be. The crop is in fine cul- tivation and the plants are large and well grown for the season and fruiting heav- fly.
 Throughout the whole belt, except in few localities, the crop has been put in thorough cultivation and the question of acreage Is therefore fully determined. The crop advanced as a whole during the
