New Interest to control the N. p.
According to- information that has;
reached Grand Forks, through al st. Paul
source, che Hill interests have lost con-
troll of the Northern Pacific and it is
probable that there will be quite Al
rivalry for the business of Grand Forks,
between the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific. The North Western is the
road that Is believed to have control of
the Northern Pacific. While the road
has not actually passed directly into the
hands of those who hold the majority of
the stock, it is believed that within few
weeks the public generally will be in
formed.
The report that a Chicago road had
gained control of the Northern Pacific
was made public few weeks ago. but it
was promptly denied by Presidedt Elliott
Despite this denial we'll informed rail
way people say the road will soon be in
new hands.-Grand Forks Herald.

Looking. After Superannuated
Ministers.

The recent session of the North Dako-
ia conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church, held at jamestown, took long
step forward in real progressive and
aggressive istainstatesmanship,w when
it decided by a unanimous vote to pro-
coed at once to raise an endowment Of
100000. for it's conference claimants
fund, the income from which is to be
distributed among it's supsrannuated
preachers pro rata according to years, of
active service. The aim of tie conference
will be to add to this endowment until
it reaches an amount sufficient to insure
at least half pay to every preacher who
through sickness or old age is unable to
continue longer in the active work of the
ministry. No other legislation ever
enacted by the church has been so we'll
calculated to make for permanency and
efficiency.
Many of the conferences have already
acted and have been successful in re-
markable measure.
The preachers of the North Dakota
conference have assessed themselves to
provide funds for the canvass of the
state. Rev. Alex Karr, who has served
the Pembina church during the last five
years, has the work in hand, having been
appointed to this duty by the bishop

Several constitutional amendments
will appear on the ballot this election.
These however are not the proposed
amendments that have been advertised
in the columns Of this paper for the last
two months. These have been adverti-
sed according to law, because they will
come before the legislature this winter.
All constitutional amendments must
pass two legislatures and receive q ma
jority vote Of the people before adoption.
The amendments on the ballot were
advertised two years ago. They consist
in an amendment to the school land pro-
visions and we think the alteration is
entirely in the last few words, by which
power is given to sell school lands need
ed for town sites at once, so as to give
title. This seems to be eminently prop
er. Another is about the matter of the
investment of the state school funds and
as we understand it allows the funds to
be invested in wider range Of securities

at the request Of the investment board
who desire it. We think it proper.
Besides this we will have a vote on
whether to give aid to a county fair.
The tax involved is very small to the in
dividual tax payer and the object is
worthy one.
We also vote whether We shall permit
cattle to range in the fall and winter
months Or be then shut up. This Is q
farmers question and will probably be
voted by each farmer as he personally
feels.
We have letter from subscriber
who asks us to write something against
the running Of cattle at large, and call
the voters attention to the fact that they
may vote at this election on this subject
Personally we are against the running Of
cattle at large for several reasons-but
then we have no cattle-and as we have
said before farmers are very likely to-
vote according to their own convenience.

, HEARST METHODS IN CHICAGO.
New York, Aug. 3.

70 the Editor of The World:
1t does, indeed, take brave man to defend
the Hearst methods used at the Chicago Con-
vention, as my friend Col Graves did this
morning. Col. Graves knows that the con
vention passed a rule which ''muzzled" all
delegates from expressing their preference for
candidates. He also knows that delegates
were thrown out Of the convention because
they tried to exercise the right of free
thought and speech Among those branded
traitor" was the Hon. Judge Seabury, Of
this city. What chance was there for a
delegate to express his opinion?
Col. Graves knows that the members of the
Hearst party have no more freedom of speech
action than the men who are employed on
the Hearst newspapers. Where Mr.. Hearst
makes his big mistake is that in the campaign
Of 1905 the victory Of the Independence
League was moral one. Mr. Hearst thinks
it was a Hearst victory GORDON NYE.

not been amended and Watson clings to his
old Interpretation. Bryan this year consents
to asset currency and proposes to put
further premium on rotten banking by
guaranteeing national bank deposits. National
banks in 1896 were in deadly hostility to
American institutions. Now there is to be
new development of power which is pre-
tended to be in their behalf cit is simply
monstrous," says Watson, "that W. J.
Bryan's burning ambition for office should
drag the historic party of Jefferson and
Jackson into the mire Of such political
shame -
Bryan now countenances and does not dare
to attack legislation which he then said
furnished proof that the Republican party
was in corrupt conspiracy with the "noney
power A crown Of thorns had beer pressed
down on the brow of labor-mankind had
been crucifed on a cross of gold. Now he
holds out that he will not disturb the thcrns
that he will do nothing to pull down the

the change and beholds the reason therefor,
that the soul Of the consistent Watson is filed

COLORED VOTERS INCENsED AGAINST
TAFT.

To the Editor Of The World:
Permit as lifelong Republican to state
why the great masses of the colored voters
should vote against Mr.. Taft or stay away
from the polls. | do not mean by this to
support Mr. Bryan, although I shall do so,
but there is the Prohibition ticket, the So
cast ticket, the Independence ticket; or
every man who is a loyal member Of the
negro race should stay away from the polls
for these reasons:
Mr.. Taft stands for the disgraceful and
unwarranted discharge of the colored soldiers.
He has made speeches condoning the dis
reimbursement of the negro in the South, call
ing us political children and saying we should
split our vote. We will carry out his advice.
The defeat of the Republican party would
be better for the negro. It is in the South
a Lily White party, and always will be until
the horde of office holders are turned out of
Office.

voters will support Taft he is telling an

FROM YELLOW JOURNALISM TO VEL
Low POLITICS-THE HEARST PARTY.

The Hearst show at Chicago has served as
a bit of summer vaudeville, an entre-act filler
Of the political drama during the dog days,
but beyond that it has neither value nor
significance Certainly nobody takes it
seriously, not even the "angel' who is fnanc-
ing it.
The whole performance is in keeping with
the Hearst methods, which he first applied to
journalism and subsequently to politics. There
were sensational tawdry and unreliable news
papers before Hearst entered the field, but
it remained for him, proceeding the
theory that most things are attainabe by the
man who has the means and the will to buy
them, deliberately to set about, by lavish
expenditure Of millions, the establishment of
newspapers so much more sensational, tawdry
and unreliable than all others that by force Of
their daring vices they should become the
exemplars Of a new school Of journalism
He succeeded in founding the modern school
Of ''yellow journalism, - than which there
is no more vicious development Of our times.
But he was not satisfied with this achieve
ment. Stimulated by his success in applying
his peculiar methods to journalism, he con-
ceived the idea that. with his millions still
to draw on and his public still to play, he
might proftably pitch his circus tents in the
field of politics as he had in that of jomn-
alism.
Who furnishes the money is well enough
known. Who furnishes the brains, though
not as we'll known, is generally regarded al
most as notorious-Louisville Courer-Jour-
nal.

NOT TO BE TRUSTED.

1t is safe to predict that Bryan will not
accept the challenge to joint debate addressed
to him by Thomas E. Watson, the presidential
candidate Of the Populist party this year. In
1896 Watson was the ticket associate of
Bryan, was his loyal supporter and follower,
and advocated his election with the most
tremendous fervor. But now his eyes have
been opened, and he denounces Bryan as
man without abiding political principle who
is controlled by a burning ambition to be
president.
More than in any campaign since 1884,
because Of the comparatively near approach
to each other Of the two formal platforms,
popular attention is directed to the character
of the two candidates. Watson's testimony
is pertinent concerning the political character
of Bryan. In 1896 he fought side by side
with Bryan in behalf of the proposition that
there should be immediate free coinage of
silver at 16 to l. Up and down the land
Bryan proclaimed his allegiance to this
doctrine-not for 1896, but for all time He
declared his unalterable opposition to
recommendation which has locked fast the
prosperity of an industrial people in the
paralysis of hard times" Watson is still
for this principle. Bryan has quit it. In
1896 Watson fought side by side with Bryan
in behalf Of the proposition that it was
unconstitutional to authorize the issue of bank
notes-that in congress alone was vested
power to issue money. The Constitution has

BATTLE CRY.
By John G.. Neihardt.

More than half beaten, but fearless,
Facing the storm and the night;
Breathless and reeling, but fearless,
Here in the lull of the fight,
[ who bow not but before Thee,
God Of the fighting Clan,
Lifting my fists I implore Thee,
Give me the heart Of a Man!
What though I live with the winners
Or perish with those who fall?
Only the towards are Sinners,
Fighting the fight is ALL
Strong is my Foe-he advances!
Snapt is my blade, 0 Lord
See the proud banners and lances!
O spare me this stub Of a sword!
Give me no pity, nor spare me;
Calm not the wrath of my Foe.
See where he beckons to dare me!
Bleeding, half beaten 90.
Not for the glory of winning,
Not for the fear of the night;
Stunning the battle is shining
0 spare me the heart to fight
Red is the mist about me;
Deep is the wound in my side;
Coward - thou criest to fout me?
0 terrible Foe, thou hast lied
Here with my battle before me,
God of the fighting Clan,
Grant that the woman who bore me
Suffered to suckle Man!
