The Liquor Question

The liquor question, like every
other matter of Importance, must be
settled by individuals: The ques-
tion should be considered in a plain
reasoning way and every man owes
It to himself and the community in
which he lives to take action on the
question as he believes Is right and
this action should not be incited thru
any selfish motive.
North Dakota is a prohibition state
still she contains many men and
they are good men too-who feel
that to prohibit the sale of liquor
from q saloon is an infringement on
private rights and hence, they be-
and since they believe that liquor
will be sold anyway they hold that 1t
is a shameful loss to the state not
to be benefited by the license. Anoth-
er argument used by men who favor
the sale Of liquor is that as an in
dustry the liquor business affords
lucrative employment for so many
people. Still the above arguments
seem to be out weighed BY the fact
that in general liquor Is a father to
crime. If liquor Is sold at all, deher
than as medicine there Ra be no
guarantee against it's being used In
excess -enough-peopfe know too
well the ruination Of home and soul
that is brot about BY intoxication
and It behooves every man to act
accordingly. A SUBSCRIBER.

Good Wishes

Judge D. E. Morgan, who has been
in the hospital at Minneapolis for
some time is now occupying his cot
tage at the Chautauqua grounds.
Judge Morgan has warm place in
the hearts of our people. All sincere
ly wish him a complete recovery. For
manhood, official probity SOL
idity of attainment, he has no su-
periors, and but few equals in the
profession in Dakota. Modest and
the friend or foe of
no litigant, though the friend of all
deserving people, the PARTISAN of no
pet idea, the impararlal, calm, i'm
purtabable, fair minded Interpreter
of the law as he finds it, not an in
novator vending strange legal prin-
ciples, or a blind and passionate, ad-
herent of worm eaten fictions, he is
the model Judge, the exquisately
poised jurist, that "hews to the line.'

Broke 81 Acres in One DAY

H. H. Morean has been doing re-
markable work at breaking sod with
the 40 horse power Gaar-Scott break
er which he purchased from the Sco-
field Implement Co. last spring. Mr..
Marean started his steam breaker to
work on May IL and up until June 20,
he had broken and seeded to max 900
acres in the vicinity of Glenburn.
Some Of this land was that sold at the
sale of school lan|s. He has been
breaking steadily s'nce and in. n.ended
to break in all 150J acres this year.
The big engine pulls fourteen four
teen-inch plows and breaks two acres
to the mile. The most that NJ, Mar
can broke in one day was 81 acres,
when the engine was speeded up to
about two miles an hour. Several
hundred people have been out to see
the plow work.

BUSINESS MEMS TEN
DEMANDMENTS
Rather Unique But Would Be Good
Thing For Others

A Chicago business man has drawn
up list of rules which he calls the
Ten Demandments and has posted
them in his establishment. Here
they are:.
Rule I.-Dont lie-it wastes my
time and yours. I'm sure to catch
you in the end and that's the wrong
end.
Rule II.-Watch your worth, not
the clock. A long days work
makes long day snort, and a short
days work makes my face long.
Rule III-Give me more than
expect and will pay you more than
you expect. I can AFFORD to increase
your pay if you increase my profits.
Rule IV.-You owe so much to
yourself that you can't afford to
owe any body else. Keep out of debt
or keep out of my snops.
Rule V.-Dishonesty is never an
accident. Good men, like good wo-
men, can't see temptation when they
meet it.
Rule VI.-Mind your own busi-
ness and in time you'll have a busi-
which hurts your self-respect. The
Rule VII.-Doa't do anything here
mess of your own to mind.
employee who is willing to steal
for me is capable of stealing from
me.
Rule VIII.-H's none Of my busi-
ness what you do nights. But II dts
sipation affects what you do the next
day and you do half as much as
demand, you'll last half as long as
you hoped.
Rule IX.-Dont tell me what I'd
like to hear, but what I ought to
hear. don't want q valet to my
vanity, but need one for my dollars.
Ruie X.-Dont kick if kick. If
you're worth while correcting, you're
worth while keeping. don't waste
time cutting specks out Of rotten
apples. /.

4 0ep|or able Accident
500 Train Near Ksnmare Runs Over two
Little Children Cutting of Thir Limbs
Little ouss Die Soon After-Ensineer
Collapsed.

A deplorable accident took place
at point two miles east of Kenmare
on Sunday last little after the noon
hour when the east-bound passenger
ran down and horribly mangled two
little >children of Mr.. and Mrs. Louis
Vadnais, who lives close to the rail-
road track, the father operating a
coal mine in that vicinity. 1t appears
from what we have been able to
learn, that MIR. and Mrs. Vadnais had
gone to church, leaving servant
girl at hcme with the children, and
while the girl was engaged in pre-
pairing the noon meal the children
left the house and succeeded in get
ting on a trussel just as the train
came along, with the result that be-
fore anything could be done to save
the little ones the train had passed
over those parts of each that were
exposed to the wheels, Louis, the
boy, aged 6 years, losing leg, and
the little girl, 4 years old, losing an
arm and portion of one foot. The
children were hurried to st. Johns
hospital at Kenmare, where the boy
died that night and where the little
girl is said to be lingering between
life and death. Engineer Wilson, one
of the oldest employees on the line
who was running the engine, col
lapsed after the accident and was
taken to the baggage car. where he
lay unconscious for several hours

in his home, with his family, Mr.
Cooke : life and influence were nearly
perfect tHis children will rise up
and call him blessed can truly be
said of his family.
Early in life he united with Fort
Street Church and has ever since re-
manned d consistent and untiring
church member and Christian. Even
here his rare business qualifications
were most important, for business en-
eTgy and tact are as much needed in
the church as in sugar growing or
banking, and when the difficult task
of uniting the Bethel Union and Fort
Street Church arose he was one whose
resourcefulness was most called upon.
He became a charter member of the
Central Union Church and has ever
since been chairman of its board of
trustees. For many years he was
superintendent Of the Sunday school
and ever and always foremost in pro-
noting the true interests of the church
This notice would be incomplete and
the most notable feature of his life
would be omitted, were his benevo-
lenees and public gifts to go unmen-
toned. Always generous, yet that gen
crosby arose to munifcence during the
later years of his life He had ac-
quired, through his efforts and fine
abilities, a considerable fortune But
he never forgot that with wealth came
responsibility to others, and most
nobly has he responded. The public
does not know of the numberless gifts
from his hands and his wife s, but
very many of the sick and unfortunate
are full of lasting gratitude for the
timely aid which has come unostenta-
tiously from them. While actively
engaged as president of Brewer &
Company, he gave all of his salary to
the Pension Fund established for their
employees, and as president of the Bank
of Hawaii a half of his salary has
been given to the same fund in the
bank. The great causes of missionary
enterprise, education, hospitals, public
charities, have received princely gifts
from them, not once, nor twice, but
year after year. To him we owe the
Aquarium at Waikiki But as if this
were not memorial enough, there was
dedicated at Punahou only last May
the Cooke Library, which, with SPLEEN
did addition to the funds of the per-
manent endowment, constitute a monu-
ment more lasting than tablets of
brass. 1t is said that tomorrow we
forget those who yesterday passed on.
This can never be so with the memory
