Murder Charge Probable

The question now is, will the Chi
nese, many of whom are influential
and wealthy, swear to complaint. as
they have, threatened to do, charging
Policeman McEachern with murder?
Or will efforts be made by the high
binders to seek revenge for the death
of one of their number by taking the
life OF some member of the police de-
partment? Such an idea as this last
one is secuted by the Chinese in the
upper circles, who insist that the high
binders wouiG not dream Of taking
matters i,ito their owp n4nis in this
case, but they say it is certainly the
intention to prosecute McEachern on
a murder charge.
Chief of Police Martin is ready to
stand by his patrolman for firing the
two shots which ended the life Of
Wong Dick He says that it was a
plain case of seIf-defense. Sergeant
Matheson, who was in charge of the
raid, in which $50 orientaIs were ar
rested and charged with visiting
gambling house. is as emphatic as the
chief In ehampioning McEachern. who.
he says, did right in shooting when his
life was endangered.

WEALTH IN THE SOIL

A few years ago land in the west
ern part of the state went begging.
There were five or six million acres
of land open to homestead in the Bis.
marck land district alone. Other
land districts in the western part of
the state offered abundant opportuni
ties to settlers to locate on free land
and prove up on it. Great tracts
west of the Missouri river sold for a
few dollars an acre. Some sold for
as low as dollar and a dollar and
quarter. One man who invested in
large tract OF land in Morton coun-
ty recently admitted that he made
on the tract "a million dollars more
than he expected" To show the
change in conditions it is we'll to note
that at a sale of isolated tracts at
the Bismarck land Office the other
day one tract sold for $23.75 an acre.
1t was purchased by farmer who
paid for it with cash. A recent sale

district brought $25 an acre-also
purchased by farmer. He paid
down $1,000 cash for a forty acre
tract. This shows that the value of
western North Dakota land is COM
ing to be appreciated. The govern
ment land is practically all gone in
the Bismarck district. It is going
fast in the other land districts. Far
mers are anxious to add to their
holdings. Improved farming methods,
the steam and gasoline pillow, and
better machinery for seeding make it
possible to farm much larger tracts.
The farmers are anxious to have pas
ture land, in addition to wheat land.
They want to add some cows to
their holdings and sell cream and
butter and beef. More land is being
planted to corn and tame fodder. The
free grazing lands are gone, and will
NOT return. Conditions in western
North Dakota are changing rapidly.
No better proof of the quality of the
soil andthe permanency Of improve.

SENATOR mccuMBER's "PALAcE"

SENATOR MccUMBER'S "PALAcE"
We find in the insurgent campaign
literature that is being sent out that
Senator McCumber owns no home In
North Dakota, but has palace" III
Washington. This is intended to
prejudice the people of the state
against the senator, and is the mean
est and most despicable type of dem
agogism. OF course, Senator McCum-
Der has a home in Washington, a
modest residence, inasmuch as it is
necessary for him and his family to
live there a great share of the time,
and it is necessary that they have
a place to live. A senator is elected
for six years, and if he has family,
the matter of place to live In the
national capital is first considera-
ton, and he is fortunate if he is able
to own a home there, for the matter
of his comfort and convenience and
that of his family. The state of
North Dakota certainly does not be-
grudge it's senator the matter of
suitable place to live in the city
where he performs his official duties.
AS to the senator's. interest in this
state, they are substantial and were
earned by long residence and hard
work in North Dakota.
AS we'll might a charge be made
against a state officer by his home
people that he owns a home at the
capital city. The duties of a state
officer require him to live at the state
capital, and it does not make him
any less worthy the support and re-
spect of his home people if he owns
a home at the capital of the state for
the time of his residence there. We
take it either Mr.. Marshall or Mr..
Gronna would gladly own a home in
Washington-if it carried with it the
United States senatorship for six
years.

Every once in while some light
is let in on the "enthusiasm" with
which the insurgent candidates are
greeted in their campaign for office.
Insurgent newspapers regularly tell
us of the demonstration" that is
made by the people in honor of these
heroes In their triu:nphal tour of the
state. But once in while some bru-
tai editor tells the whole truth, even
ais the Devils Lake Journal does In
the following:
Judge w. S. Lauder, one of the
smartest men in North Dakota, visit
ed Devils Lake yesterday. He was
advertised to speak here last night at
the court house. He was advertised
we'll. too. For several days the ad-
vertisement of the meeting had been
running in the Journal. 1t had also
been advertised in the Inter-Oceal.
Autographs with the judges hand
some face beaming like an early sun
rise were much in evidence around
town-in store windows, nailed to
telephone poles and on livery stables.
The hour for the speaking approached,
but the populace did not-approach.
The minutes sped on and the judges
heart grew heavy. How it happened
may never be known, but ten people
struggled in, curiosity bent. And
then Jim Shea, the United States
marshal, walked in. That was the
straw which broke the camel's back,
as the saying goes. The Judge could
conceal his emotion no longer. He
had known old Jim Shea down in
Richland. He knew that Jim knew
him, also. Perhaps that was the
reason. But no matter. The judge
languidly arose and made his speech.
1t was not very long, and it did not
take long to tell 1t. He said that he
had come to Devils Lake to make
speech in which he desired to dis
cuss the issues of the campaign from
the standpoint of an insurgent or
progressive republican, but inasmuch
as there were but few-too few-in
attendance of the meeting, it would
be an imposition upon the taxpayers
to make them pay for the electric
light meter which was doing business
in the basement. Therefore the meet
ing was then and there adjourned
sine die. Before the gavel fell on
the last act of the sombre assem-
blage, the judge intimated that If
Gribbins May ~
ever the people of Devils Lake be-
came awakened to the Importance of
sending real pretty bunch of re-
formed gangsters to Washington,
such as himself, Gronna, Helgeson
and Marshall, he would return. But
until then-not any more Devils Lake
frosts for him.
