gagged in farming than now, and the
cost of transportation was bar to get

Consequently there was only local de-

costs much more nowadays. but it is
worth more. There were no railroads
in 1919; no telegraph. no telephones;
no electric lights; no monographs; no
canned goods; no breakfast foods; no
daily newspapers outside the largest
cities; no trolley cars; no automo-
biles:: no airships-none of the mod

whiskey for 16ia cents a gallon. The
advance in the standard of living dur
ing the past sixty-one years has been
quite as great as the increase in cost.

LEIGH, FRASER AND HANS
BRoUGH - FORMER SENATOR
FOUND MANY FRIENDS THERE.

There was a republican rally at
Mapleton Thursday evening attended
by a number of Fargoans who autoed
out after supper. Short speeches were
made in the operahouse by addison
Leech, candidate for county auditor;
Angus Fraser, candidate for register of
deeds and by Hon. II. G. Hansbroug!l,
who accompanied the party. The-sena-
tor was given an ovation by the peo-
pie of Mapleton and out IN the streets
when the party was leaving for Fargo
he was given three cheers and a tiger
by the enthusiastic republicans who
have always admired him.
DR.. Mitchell, candidate for coroner,
presided at the meeting.
The roads to Mapleton are better
than for years and the auto trip was
delightful.
Crops on some fields between here
and there look in excellent condition.
The general color of the grain is good,
but it is evident that rain will be
quickly needed if this torrid weather
continues.

The largest class that ever gradu-
ated from a North Dakota high school
when fifty eight received their diplo-
mas last night as graduates in the
class of 1910 from the Fargo high
school,
The class made a decidedly i'm
pressive picture on the stage as the
house last evening at $3.50. The
curtain rose at the Fargo opera
house. Last evening at $3.50. The
young ladies were gowned in white
Nand the young gentlemen in dark
clothing suitable for an occasion Of
the kind. The operahouse was packed
many being compelled to stand dur
ing the exercises.
Before the curtain arose the soph-
ignores and the freshmen of the high
school INDUCED in much pleasantly,
each endeavoring to drown out the
others voices with class yells. The
freshmen in a body would ask "Who
got the banner" and the sophs as
loudly if not more so would call out
"the freshmen" The young ladies Of
the Junior classes joined with the
members of the sterner sex in utter
ing the class yells.
The back ground of the stage was
a wood scene with mountains in the
back and the stage was cleared to the
walls for the OCCASION. This was the
twenty-fifth class that has graduated
from the Fargo high school and many
Of the alumni were in the audience
to see the exercises.
The opening prayer was delivered
by Dean G. Dewitt Bowling Of Gethse-
name cathedral and his words were
most appropriate to the occasion.
Francis Lewis delivered the saluta-
tory, taking for his subject, The Citi-
zen of the Twentieth Century. He
alludede to the fact that the class
Of 1910 in a very few years would
have to assume great responsibilities
in the affairs Of the nation. In closing
he quoted from one Of the Roosevelt
speeches telling what good citizen
should be.
The class poem was given by Miss
Dorothea Young, the subject of it was

INJUSTICE Done
Sec. ". {. M'EWEN
RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING
HIS REINFORCEMENT WOULD
NOT BE ToLERAED BY HIM NOR
coUNTENANcED BY coNvEN-
TON, SAY LEADERS.

In the opinion of prominent Fargo
union men as well as leaders from
Minnesota in the city, the story sent
out from st. Paul stating that the
main fight at the federation of labor
convention here next week would be
over a resolution concerning Sec. w.
E. McEwen, is entirely unfounded, It
is claimed that McEwen will work for
the adoption of a resolution endorsing
his administration as state labor COM
missioner and asking for his reap
pointment.
''Mr. McEwen would not allow such
a resolution to be introduced" said an
official Of the federation this morning.
Furthermore the convention would
not entertain such resolution. Mr..
McEwen never sought the appoint
ment he holds and the story does him
an injustice"

Sakakawea. Miss Young had prepared
very fine poem and she read it with
feeling and in a pleasing manner.
she like the preceding speaker was
given much applause.
The senior girls rendered a pleasing
vocal selection entitled Garden Of
Flowers which met with the approval
Of the large audience.
Fred Hagen took for his subject.
The Class Of 1910, and he handled it
well. OF necessity much that he
said was Of a prophetic nature. He
told what in his opinion, the members
OF the class would be doing in twenty
years from now, and at times he was
quite humorous His history of the
class was also a nice bit of word
painting.
The valedictorian Of the class was
Miss Ina Johnson and she took for
her subject, The Sources of Inspire
ton, and in closing her address thank.
ed the faculty and the board Of ed-
ucadon for the grand opportunities
that were furnished the youth Of Far
go for an education.
The presentation Of the diplomas
then followed. President Holt of the
board Of education delivered the adj
Dress and gave the class much advice
that was sound and should be follow
ed. The closing song Estudfantina
was rendered by q mixed choir or
chorus Of the students and they ac-
quilted themselves nicely. It was a
most successful commencement and
will be remembered most pleasantly
by students, faculty, board OF educa-
ton and the audience.
It is remarkable fact, 90 per
cent Of the entire membership Of the
high school this year were in the class
as graduates. 1t should also be men
toned that the class was more than
twice as large as any other high school
class in the state Of North Dakota.
The Fargo high schools ranks high
all over the country as an educational
institution and it is pleasing to be able
to state that this is known all over the
state, for many people from outside
the city are sending their children
here to be educated.

THE HIP POCKET
CLEARS A NEGRO
Shot Man When He Saw
Him Put His Hand in
THAT Fatal Pocket.

Not guilty" was the verdict re-
turned Wednesday night by the jury
in the 34th district court in the case
of Marshall Jackson, negro, charged
with the murder of Madison Graham,
another negro, who died on May 20.
as a result of wounds received the
night previous.
Jackson was the last witness on the
stand in his own behalf Wednesday
and he admitted the killing. He
charged that Graham had killed his
brother and had beaten his wife, who
is JacksOn's sister, with a six shoot 81.
As to 1.-The killing, jackson stated
that on the night of May 10, he turn
ed east on Second street, from Oregon.
and there saw Graham looking into
the Jockey Club saloon.
He was about two steps away"
Jackson stated, and I asked: Who
are you looking for?' He whirled
around, and, seeing me, made a move
toward his hip pocket. Then L shot
him"
BY Jackson's statement that he &C
coSted Graham and asked him, =. no
are you looking for" the negro swept
away his claim for self defence, and
instructions covering that were not
submitted to the jury by Judge Har-
per. The instructions covered only
first and second degree murder and
acquittal. The jury deliberated four
hours.

Joker n Fiesta Concession
Sale Proves Costly to
Successful Bidder.

II has developed that there was a
3oker in the bidding on fiesta gam
bling rights made Wednesday in Gu
dad Juarez Gambling promoters tried
to make a dupe Of the city, it is said,
but were duped instead
With one contestant suddenly re-
moved from the race, the followers
Of r Crux, who finally purchased the
rights, were left alone. 1t appeared
all one way, with nobody to bid. But
when bidding was begun at the s31, 200
mark, the minimum, a dark horse en-
tered the race.
1t was Filipe Seijas, a prominent
attorney of Juarez, who began pushing
up the figure to be paid for the right
10 run games next month in front Of
the bull ring. To the great surprise
of the bidders, the attorney pushed
up the figure, leaving it at $4,000. II
was bought by Crux and his company
for $45, 200, much in excess Of last
years figures.
Now everybody knows that Mr..
Seijas is not a gambling promoter, in.
fact, is known TO be against gambling
as an institution. And the attorney
himself announces that he only bid to
protect the city.
