WITH $4,000 Capital

WITH $4,000 Capital
The Wibaux Pioneer says: w.
c. Ripley was in the city on We'd
nesday from our sister town, Yates
where he informs us that new
state bank, with a capital of $780,
600, is now being established and
will be open for business by Sep
TENDER first.
The chief promoters of the new
institution are: Mr.. E. A. Ripley,
formerly employed as Secretary
treasurer of the Mandan Loan & In
vestment Co., at Mandan-J. R.
Waters, who has been engaged in
the land & loan business at Beach,
and Mr.. w. C. Ripley of Minot.
who has been associated with the
Union National Bank of that city
also with the Northwestern
National Of Minneapolis.
The officers of the bank are as
follows: E. E. Ripley, president;
j. R. Waters, vice president; and
w. c. Ripley, cashier. The latter
gentlemen also informed the
writer that the bank would be run
privately for a short time until
they get nicely established.
A new banking house will be
erected and the construction work
will be started at once. The petit
tion requesting the moral support
of the citizens which as circulated
about Wibaux met with a most
hearty support.
The young city of Yates not only
has brilliant outlook for the
future. but has certainly taken a
great boom during the past season,
and to establish good bank there
right now is not at all previous
actin fact it will prove valu-
able asset to that thriving little
city, and that the new institution
will flourish from the start there
is every indication-Here's best
wishes for it's success.

All west bound Northern Pacific

Of a bad washout just the other

Thursday morning and the other
trains ran accordingly. The
trouble was at Muskoda, between
Glyndon and Detroit, Mimi, where
high grade was being made which
PARALLEL the present track. The
heavy rains had washed this grade
down on the track until it was
completely covered with mud and
gravel, blocking traffic. A crew
of men were rushed to the scene
but it took them over ten hours
to clear the track.

MUST HAVE CLEAN MEAT.

The people Of this city arc a unit
on the proposition that we must have
clean meat. The slaughterhouscs must
he put in a sanitary condition, and kept
so. 1t is intolcrabe to think Of the
people of this city having to eat meat
slaughtered and dressed amid such
filthy and revolving surroundings as the
Council committee found in number of
the slaughter houses. The Council is
exactly meeting the public demand
when it insists upon the immediate
publication Of these slaughter houses,
and the thorough official inspection of
the slaughtering and of the dressing Of
the meats.
The Council programme in this is not
only practical and wise. but it is emf.
nently sound from every standpoint in
which it can he viewed. The supply of
filthy or tainted meat must be shut of.
This can only be done by constant
vigilance and thorough inspection. II is
no hardship on the larger slaughter
houses to have a Federal Inspector en-.
force the National inspection rules for
slaughtering, dressing, and handling
meats. 1t will be no hardship upon the
smaller slaughter houses for the city to
appoint inspectors of its own to enforce
precisely the SINE regulations as are
done in the larger slaughter houses by
the Federal inspectors.
And that is precisely what should be
done. There should be this thorough,
constant inspection. SO that by no posi-.
bility could there be any chance TO i'm
pose upon the city either tainted or
dirty meat The health of the people
IS at stake. and the preservation of the
life OF many persons may depend upon
this thorough inspection and enforced
cleanliness. And the people will back
the Council 10 the required degree of
enforcing everything necessary in this
regard

ALDRICH' REASSURANCES.

We see that Senator Aldrich declares
that the new tariff bill as it has been
framed by the Senate finance commit
tee will, in connection with the inter
nal revenue excise taxes, produce plenty
of revenue for the running Of the Gov.
ernment. That will certainly be a most
desirable result. And if the practical
balancing Of receipts and expenditures
that we are witnessing this month in
the treasury continues, there will he
no particular difficulty in realizing SEN
ator Aldrich s hopes.
The Senator, of course, eXcepts the
costs Of the Panama canal in his rcck-
oning that the revenues Will balance
the expenditures. There is no reason
why the Panama canal should be built
out Of the current revenues Of the Gov
eminent In fact. the Panama canal is
now indebted 10 the treasury something
like $60000,000, which can be returned
by the sale of bonds All that is neces-
sary Oh this account is TO allow the
Secretary Of the Treasury 10 issue and

Senator Aldrich 5 speech, reported in
this mornings dispatches is, in fact,
very able presentation of the financial
situation, both present and to be ex-
pected. No man in Congress is a bet
ter Judge Of the financial situation than
Senator Aldrich. And it is pleasant
to read his optimistic forecasts and csti
mates.
The elimination OF all propositions for
succession tax and for an income
tax viii he at once a reinsurance 10 the
country and 10 those who have been
in fear of additional taxation As Sen
ator Aldrich says, party that increases
taxation, especially visible taxation,
such as the succession tax or an in.
come tax would be, is not a popular
party. And in order TO escape for
his party the Odium of unpopularlty
he sends forth this reinsurance to the
country. And the country Will receive
it with pleasure and also with conf

Brigham. In fact, VIC have withheld

J proyocation such as that delivered by
Apostle Anthony w. Ivins on Sunday.
But the Mormon pulpiteers are SO per
sistent i'll their blasphemy. and have
become so frequently brazcn in offering
their insults, that common Justice to

Here is another bit from President
Heber G. Kimball. uttered in the Salt
Lake tabernacle on February s, 1857.
We beg Apostle WINS to consider ii
carefully, meantime realizing that he
could not possibly know Joseph Smith
as did President Kimball, who was a
personal associate Of the man:
DO You suppose that Joseph and Hyrum
and all those good men would associate
with those ancient worthless II they had
not been engaged in tho same practices? ?
They had to do the works OF Abraham
Isaac. and Jacob, in order TO be admitted
whore they are;-they had to he polyg
amists in order TO bc received Into their
society.-Journal Of Discourses. volume
{, page 22i.
And then we ask Mr. WINS to con
template the following official notice,
which appeared in the Nauvoo Times
and Seasons of February |, 1914. less
than four months prior to the death Of
Joseph and Hyrum Smith:
As we have lately been credibly in
formed that an elder OF the Church OF
Jesus Christ OF Latter-dsy Saints, by the
name of Hiram Brown has been preach
ing PoLYGAMY AND OTHER FALSE
AND CORRUPT DOCTRINES in the
county OF Lapcer. state OF Michigan. this
is TO notify him that he has been cut off
from tho church for his iniquitles.
JOSEPH SMITH,
HYRUM SMITH
Presidents of said Church.
II is we'll known TO Apostle WINS that
Joseph Smith repeatedly and officially
denied both the doctrine and the prac-
tice of polygamy in the church; and
we now request him to compare those
denials with the following assertion,
made by Joseph f. Smith. the present
head Of his church, in the Salt Lake
tabernacle, July Z, 1878, and printed in
the Dcserct News on September 7, 1878:
1t need scarcely he said that the
prophet (Joseph Smith found no ono any
more prepared or more willing To lead out
In this matter tpolygamyl in righteous
ness than he WAS himself. Many could
see It-ucarly all TO whom HE RE-
NEALED 1T believed II. and received the
witness OF the Holy Spirit that il was OF
God: but none eNcelled. or even matched
the courage OF the prophet himself.
Summing up the matter as il is here
presented, and maintaining
his profession of belief in the Savior,
does Apostle Wins still contend that
Joseph Smith should be compared with
Jesus Christ?

ITS VAIL MENDACITIEs.

The Smoot "Mouth' - yesterday morn.
ing made, cditorially, two charges
against the American party with re.
gard to the Vail dcfalcation. The first
was that the Vail dcfacation makes II
record aginst the American administra-
ton of this city; the second that
American party politicians had bor-
rowed this fund, and that these bor-
rowinGs accounted for the disappear
ance Of much Of tho money. Both ale
cations arc absolutely and scaudalously
untrue.
II is impossible that the disappear
ance of this money could mako any rec
ord whatever against the American
party; because the fund, as asccrtained
by legal examination, was no part of
the public money. The American party
is responsible only for public affairs
and not for anything else, in its admin
istration Of the city's affairs. The
withdrawal Of that fund from the Gus
tody of the chief of the fire department
was an act of tho fremcn themselves
who preferred TO leave Mr.. Vail in Gus
tody Of it after he had been deposcd
from the chiefship Of the fire depart
ment. This was n bad mistake, as sub
sequent events have proved. But it
was not an American party mistake.
The American party had nothing what
eXer 10 do with it, nor are the iremen
required to be American party men,
That continued endowment Of Mr.. Vail
as the custodian Of this fund was in no
sense a political matter, but personal
between himself and the men Of the
fire department SO there is no founda.
tion whatever in this for any charge
against the American party. But this
was the prime cause Of the disappear
ance of the money.
The charge that American party poll
ticians borrowed this money is one that
is infamously false. American party Of
icials have been the ones who have
been especially and chiefly anxious to
have Mr.. Vail brought back so that he
would be compelled TO account for that
money or be sent TO Jail. The Tribune
has been persistent from the first in de-
mauding that full investigation should
be had; that Mr.. Vail should be com
PEELED TO account for this money, Long
before Mr.. Vail left the city, The Trib-
une urged that he be brought upon the
