COMPLAINTS OF "PEONAGE.-

COMPLAINTS OF tPEONAGE.'
Up in the vicinity of Devils Lake,
an agent of the department of i'm
migration Of the government, has
been working upon a so-called "peon-
age" case, in which is involved the
alleged abuse of the rights of two
laborers who hired out" to work
during the threshing season, and left
their employers before the term Of
employment agreed upon by verbal
contract was closed. They went to
an adjoining county to work, and
were brought back upon warrants of
arrest issued by justice of the
peace. Just what crime was charged
against them in the warrants is not
made clear by the reports. It ap-
pears that the states attorney of the
county was not present to approve
the warrants and they were issued
without his approval. The men we're
arrested, brought into court, and q
settlement effected by which they
paid back the greater part If not all
Of the money they had received for
labor, in court costs, fines and for
other purposes. A complaint was
made to the department of immigra-
ton, with the result that an investi-
cation has been in progress.
The reports of the case which have
gotten into the press have been con-
siderably exaggerated, and it has
been stated that government officials
have found assystem OF .peonages,s
in effect worse than practiced II the
south. ""Peonage," as it has come to
be understood, is the manipulation Of
officials, the law and public senti-,
ment to the extent of intimidating
laborers to work for practically moth
ing, holding out to, them fear of the
penalties OF the law If they fail to
do so, or to seek to obtain their law
full dues. 1t is, practically, the hold
ing of laborers as slaves or bondsmen
compelled to labor without pay or
for a pittance, with the fear Of i'm
prisonment or punishment before
them. Such a system, of course, is
not to be tolerated, and no such sys-
tenn obtains in North Dakota Or any
part Of it. We fear the newspapers
originally made too much of what
was a difference of opinion between
employers and employees, and the
possible abuse of discretion by JUS
tice of the peace, If warrants were
issued without cause,
=, It appears that the same complaints
have been made in South Dakota,
and the Aberdeen News says:
IT is extremely unlikely that the
trouble complained of in, North Da-
kota, if it really existed at all, is wide
spread. The Dakotas are confronted
with peculiar situation. For few

ONLY ONE SPEECH APPROVED

A CERTAIN ex-President of the United
States who much given to speeches
and messages and other things, once had occa-
sion to attend his wife to the railway station
preparatory to her setting out on journey
alone.
They were early at the station, and SO went
to the parlor car, in which seat had been re-
served. As the car filled, many of the passen-
gers came to shake his hand. or spoke to him,
or gave him polite nod of recognition; all but
one man who was occupying chair opposite
and had paid no attention to what was going
on around him.
When the ex-President came to leave his
wife he said to her.
If you should happen to need assistance Of
any kind, don't hesitate to call upon this gen.
tleman across the way. l like his looks. indi-
eating the man who had not spoken. whom he
did not know. but whose appearance and man
ner were such to inspire him with respect
and trust.
In the city of her destination at an evening
reception shortly after her arrival. her fellow
passenger, whose assistance she had not re-
quired. was presented to her. She referred to
the incident.
will you please tell your husband said the
man. that that was the first speech l ever
heard him make that met with my entire ap-
proval."

The little Prince tossed his head dsdainfully
and walked away The Margrave evidently
much disturbed, followed the Crown Prince,
leaving Fritz Henry alone with Wilhelmina

that he suspects everyone that receives my

Don't don't Please do not speak to me in

in you. Even though appearances may be

and try to keep my brothers confidence un-
shaken. He is of suspicious nature, and-and
he thought he had found a reason to suspect
YOU"
May ask what have done to cause your
brother to doubt me-" asked Henry.
Il don't like to tell you. answered the Prin-
cess.
Il do not urge you to speak but If | do not
know my fault, | may a"ain commit 1T, said
Henry, plainly showing his eagerness.
BY an effort that very apparent, Wilhel-
nina forced herself to speak. 1t is hard for
nv brother and me to believe that friend to
the King can be friend to us; but it IS harder
for to believe that-that- | fear | cannot
tell you what was going to say
Il implore your Highness to tell met in
sisted Henry
THE Princess lifted her eyes: but they fell
before Henrys gaze, and she continued
haltngly, 1t is more difficult for us to believe

that one who is my sisters friend can long be
our friend. Oh, it is hard for me to say that to
you. who are almost stranger love my SIS
ter, but she does not love my brother and me"
Tears were hanging in Mina's eyes. and her
voice was almost choked by emotion.
Henry remained silent to give the Princess a
moment in which to recover her self possession
but presently he asked. Why do you and the
Crown Prince believe am your sisters friend! :
PRAY do not ask me to explain, returned
Nina speaking in low tones and looking toward
the floor

the Crown Prince has based his conclusion on

Wilhelmina and spoke with touch of anger
and note of command in his voice." but

that ever should utter it What l am about

THE Princess turned to leave Henry; but he
checked her in a tone of voice that was al
most command.
You shall hear all have to say, and when
have finished, shall, if you wish, leave Berlin
foreveri Turn your face slightly from me and

No, no!' whispered the girl almost inaudi-
bly,.
You need not assure me of that" returned
Henry. Il beg you to believe that 1t will last
to the end of my life. That which has come
upon me so suddenly must be of tremendous
force to induce me to remain in Berlin without
hope of reward and to say to you what | have

offended the Princess and that he must leave

NO MOVING PICTURE. THIS

ON the occasion of a recent tour through
~ Southern State a we'll known lecturer
whose pictures of foreign lands are much ad-
mired, was obliged to take the only train out of
one town, in order to keep an engagement in
another not far away.
The stops were SO frequent, the delays SO
vexatious, and the trains general progress so
imperceptible, that it finally got on the nerves
of the lecturer
What do you think of it," solemnly asked
passenger. by way of banter
Il think" growled the unfortunate man,
that it would be pretty tough job to make a
moving picture of this train''

peared to say they were waiting tor him up
stairs. He replied that he would be there in
minute, and silently hoped that his voice did
not sound SO strange to the other man as 1t had
Slowly he walked to the door leading into the
corridor This then was indeed the end, this the
final stepping down from office! After years
and years of what they called public service, he
was leaving it all now with sense OF defeat and
humiliation. A lump was in the old mans
throat; his eyes were blurred But you,
Frank Leyman," he whispered passlonatelv,
turning as if for comfort to the other man, it
will be different with you! They ii not get you
not you!
1t came him then as mighty wave
would sweep over and enfold one this passion
ate exultation that here was man whom Cor
ruption could not claim as her own Here was
one human soul not to be had for price!
There fitted before him again picture OF that
scventeen-year-old boy in the little red school
house. and close upon it came the picture OF
this other young man against whom all powers
of corruption had been turned IN vain. With
the one it had been the emotional luxury of
sentiment. thing from lifes actualities apart,
with the other it was force that dominated all
things else, force over which circumstances
and design could not prevail know all
about it" he was saying. know about 1t ALL
l know how easy it is to fall! know how hne
it is to stand!
His sense of disappointment in his own
empty, besmirched career was almost sub
merged tnen as ne projected HlIIlSen on anu oh
into the career of this other who within the
hour would come there in his stead. How glori-
Gus was his opportunity, how hmitless hls pos
sibilites, and how great to his own soul the sat
isfaction the years would bring of having done
his best!
1t had all changed nowi That passionate
longing to vindicate himself. to add one thing
honorable and fine to his own record had alto
pether left him, and with the new mood came
an unblurred insight and fixed, unshakable
purpose.
TT pointed to three minutes of twelve as he
walked over to his desk. unfolded the con-
tracts. and one by one affixed his signature In
a dim way he was conscious of how the inter
probation of his first motive would be put upon
it, how they would call him traitor and cow
ard; but that mattered little The very fact
that the man for whom he was doing it would
never see it as it was brought him no pang

that is what will do =
The Princess laughed.
HENRY bowed and went to where the Crown
II Prince, Wilhemina, and the Margrave were
standing at the opposite side OF the room The
Prince took no notice of Henry; but the Prln-
cess bowed
Il hear YOU are to be at The Tabage this
evening" said the Margrave
"Yes, l am to have that honor, and-and
that pleasure" answered Henry
Are you SO great beer drinker, asked the
one of The Tabagie sessions with confidence
and pleasure,"

"and / shall face the ordeal with tear and

And incidentally yourself, interrupted the
Crown Prince, with a sneerng smile.
Henry was startled by little Fritzs words
but did not at once reply, hoping that the
Prince would say something to soften his too
evident meaning. But the Crown Prince re-
manned silent, and, after a long, awkward
pause. Henry answered.
Perhaps if your Highness knew more about
the real situation, you would understand that
