tent While the Presidential
Candidate Was Here

TAFT, who was the guest In the city
yesterday, somewhat interfered with
the scrimmage work Of the university
football team and the practice Of the
high school teams. The work was de-
layed until late hour and. although
the boys got out, much was accom-
pltshed In getting In line for the real
start Of the season as far as Grand
Forks Is concerned next Saturday.
The university team has been tagging
and must get down to real work at
once or some Of the big gamea that
are scheduled for the near future will
be walk-aways for the opposers.
Burtness had his high school team
go through little signal work last
night and now that the season ap-
breaches the heavyweight coach is
wearing a gloomy look over the PROS
poets Of winning team out Of green
material vested at the high school.
East Grand Forks has the brightest
prospects Of anything around for a
winning team, and, although there
was not much doing. DR.. Wilson will
whip up an aggregation that promise
to be victors in the coming battles.
All the old East Side warriors are
back and with only Quigley missing,
the work is perfect even at this stage.
Central high school plays the uni
versity next Saturday and East Grand
Forks goes to Grafton for game.

CONTINUED from page a.

II don't know how many Of this au-
dience I have talked to before, but
don't object to this arrangement at
ell. I have spoken twice here, and
this is my third and last time. want
to speak to you this time about the
trusts, and wonder If you know
what trust is. We have made a
tremendous progress in the last
twelve years. The Republican party
passed what is known as the anti
trust law, and the Republican party,
In q Republican senate, incorporated
what Is known as the interstate COM
merce law into the statutes Of the ma
ton. In the tremendous advance Of
prosperity when we are all getting
rich, and certainly the people Of
North Dakota can claim something
en- that score, because l hear the pro-
ducts of last year were about $780,
100000, or $1,000 to every voter in
the state-why every man see looks
about like g capitalist; you all have
that smile that does not come of,
that smile, may say, that indicates
that in your inner nature you have
Republican sentiment-now in this
chase for the dollar, for we are all
engaged in 1t, except those who are
holding Offices, and the men who were
most successful, forget honesty and
the law and violated all Of these
things. It was not that the whole
business community was demoralized,
but in the chase to make money, and
in the greed of financial power, they
disregarded the fact there were laws
laid down intended to regulate the
dealings of men with each other, and
tai combines to stifle competition by
smaller concerns, and drive these
smaller establishments out of bust
ness, that is trust and such COM
bination can be prosecuted, and Is
punishable as crime under the Sher-
man antitrust law. Now the chief
thing here in these eleven or twelve
years by which these trusts were
maintained were the controlling of
the market in certain articles. They
would bulldoze the railroads. and say
to them, here, II you do not give us
secret rebates and determinations in
our favor, we will turn our. business
over to your competitor In that way
they procured another violation of the
interstate commerce law, and that
was the chief monopoly by which
these trusts existed.
Making Combinations.
Then they would have. another
meeting. Fifteen or twenty corpora
lions would unite and agree that they
would not manufacture more than
certain amount. and the combination
was only for the purpose Of monopol-
izing the market. There were fifteen
or twenty corporations that united In
the sale of cast iron, and every time
q town wanted to buy cast iron, they
would have q meeting and sell thepri-
vilege to one of. their members. We
got into court by the trouble about
that combinations method Of sitting
competition. Having found such a
combination would endanger them,
they united together and made one
combination and then said they didn't
have any combination because the en-
tire thing was one concern.
when all these revelations came to
President Roosevelt he recommended

WHEAT: Wheat ruled heavy from
the start and chosen about one cent
lower. The floor sentiment was bear

able pressure. A prominent operator
whose sales of late has been so con-
spicuous was again the most persis-
tent seller. In addition there has been
much short wheat on sale while quite
number of discouraged longs liquid
ated. Considering the absence Of out
side trade and the enormous amount
of wheat which was thrown into the
pit, the absorbing power of the market
has been surprising. The commission
houses were the principal buyers. The
bearish influences were lower cables
and big increase in the worlds

commission was directed to return to

Why the Water is Muddy.

Mr.. J. Fl. Bridgefs, superintendent
Of the Henderson Water Company.
under date OF the oath, sends out IL
statement in regard to the muddy
condition of the water This fact
had been noted-it was self-evident
to those who use city water-but
they did not know the cause. 1t is
because the water is not filtered The
filter is undergoing general repairs
and it will require three orfour weeks
to geteverything in proper condition,
Superintendent Bridgers explains.
and in the meantime he begs the pa
tient indul gence of the public.
Aside from the filter being out OF
order the excessive rains and melting
snow have caused the water supply
to be muddier than usual and this
accounts for present conditions.
Still, we may draw consolation from
the fact that this is only temporary,
while some towns have this sort of
thing to put up with all the time.
Ordinarily Henderson water supply
is all right, chemically pure and very
clear, and we must not forget this in
the temporary annoyance and incon-
venience suffered. And muddy water
is better than no water. The situa-
ton is not as bad as it night be after

Advertising News.
Augusta ga Herald.

Augusta (Ga.) Herald.
The advertisements that are placed
IN a newspaper are as much to the
advantage of the reader as they are
to the newspaper. The paper simply
furnishes a means of communication
and each one ofthese advertisements
is in sense letter from the adver-
tiser to the prospective customer.
AS ordinarily the most enterpris-
ing people are advertisers, it stands
to reason that it is wise to read
what they have to say. Many con
Germs spend q great deal of money
to have their advertisements con
structed, and the result is that the
person who does not read the adver-
tisements is losing a good deal in
the course of the year, from that I'M
Outstanding the character and con-
dition Of the various markets.
There is no questioning the fact
that ordinarily you can buy goods
more cheaply in a store that adver-
tises than in one that does not.
Some non-advertising stores manage
to get along by frequently batting
the public with very cheap goods in
certain lines. This is simply means
of advertising and is good in it's way
but the public pays the price on
other lines.

A Talented Young Artist.

An oil painting exhibited in the

Store has been much admired. The
subject is a stag at bay standing
knee deep in water which he has
sought for protection from two dogs
that hard press him. One OF them
is down on his back as a result of a
thrust from the terrible antlers OF
the desperate animal and the other
stands at safe distance and bays
his quarry. 1t is Il striking picture

critics. 1t is the work of little Miss

alike to teacher and pupil.
