Devils Lake inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1909-1915, 1910-01-07


Fred Warren, convicted iii the fed:
eral court for misuse Of the mails will
probably be the Socialist candidate for
governor Of Kansas. Already his
friends over the state are preparing
for the circulation of his petitions
to entitle him to- a place on the state
wide primary ballot. Warren is the
editor Of the Appeal to Reason, a So
cialist paper published at Girard. Sew
eral months ago he was convicted
of the fraudulent use of the mails in
the federal court at Fort Scott He
had printed an offer of reward to any
one who would kidnap former Cover
nor Taylor In Indiana and turn him
over to the Kentucky authorities. This
offer of reward was placed on enve-
lopes sent through the mails BY War
ren's newspaper. Warren has appeal
ed to the United States circuit court.
! George Preston Sheldon Is dead.
He was for years president of the
great Phoenix Insurance Co. and was
rated as one of the captains Of indus
try in the east. A few months ago it
was discovered that he had systemati-
cally plundered the company, which
had honored him and. trusted him, of
several hundred. thousand dollars. He
not only embezzled funds but bribed
public officials charged with the inves-
tigation of Insurance companies in Or
der that false reports might be made
that would cover up his tracks,, 1t is
almost beyond comprehension how sus-
ceptible men are to the wiles of the
devils when once he approaches them
with filthy lucre. We marvel at the
audacity of Judas but. the present day
can furnish on short notice a whole
lot of such fellows. This man Shell
don divided his swag with the insur-
ance inspector just as the sugar trust
contributed to the salaries Of men
trusted by the government to weigh
the sugar that was shipped in. But,
after all, there is much encouragement
in the fact that where one man en-
trusted with great responsibility goes
wrong there are thousands Of them
who do not. 1t will not do to lose
faith in humanity because Of these
evidence of dishonesty that crop out
ever and anon. &f

Arthur's Christmas

BY Airline Helm, Aged Years, 1911 Polk
Street, South Omaha, Neb. Blue Side.
once there was little boy named Arthur.
He lived with his father and mother in a
little house. One day letter came from
his grandma, saying that she wanted them
to come TO her house for Christmas.
Arthurs grandma lived in Denver, Colo.
So Arthur and his father and mother
started Wednesday before Christmas.
On the train they saw many nice things.
On the top Of a hill they saw a whole lot
of cattle.
At last Christmas morning came and they
were at the depot. There was grandpa
with horse and carriage. They all got
in the carriage and rode with grandpa to
his house.
When dinner time came they all sat down
at the table. They saw turkey, mashed
potatoes, chocolate cake, bread, butter and
apple sauce. After dinner Arthur's grand
ma made three kinds Of candy. Then she
gave Arthur a nice express wagon.
When it came tins9 TO go home they got
on the train.
