TOPEKA PUT RIGHT.

Continued from Page One.l
81 think prohibition is a marked
success from a business mans stand
point" Mr.. Copeland continued, "for
the reason that the building and loan
associations tell me that the men of
topeka have spent their money for
new homes and not for liquor For
merly these same men neTe~- paid their
bills, wages were garnisheed and the
continued to use liquor. Today we
employ a class of men we could not
find under saloon conditions"
H B. Kelly read the resolutions,
which were finally adopted by a stand
ing vote. When the question was first
put there was a. strong division of SEN
tlment, but when a standing vote was
called. the opposition faded away.
The declarations of principles were
adopted as preamble for the resolu-
tons and both were adopted in one
motion. The resolutions follow:
Resolutions.
Whereas, Mr.. J. B. Billiard, mayor
of this city, and who has always been
an enemy of the state prohibitory
liquor law, has recently made the
public statement that prohibition is a
failure in the city of Topeka and the
state of Kansas; that it has made
criminals of large majority of our
SAL4HO1lSS that SUTO OF our p0OpI0 use
liquor, and that the law has been det-
rimental to the city and state:
Be 1t Resolved, by the citizens of
lTopeka, in mass convention assembled,
First-That we denounce the Bill
lard statements regarding the effect of
the prohibitory law as false and vii
lianously libelous of our citizens, city
and state, inexcusab1y made for the
purpose of aiding the liquor interests
in their waning fight against temper
ance, sobriety and decency.
Second-That the removal of the
open saloon has freed politics from
its evil and corrupting influence; it
has taken temptation out of the way
of the laboring man, who now spends
for food, shoes and clothing what was
too often paid across the bar for that
which contributed nothing to his good
and brought only sorrow and distress
to his helpless wife and children; it
has made all legitimate business bet
ter, and, above all, has given a high
moral tone to civic life unknown to
the saloon town and state.
Third-After twenty-nine years of
prohibition in Kansas the law against
the illicit traffic of intoxicating liquors
is as well enforced as other laws, and
prohibition is today more firmly than
ever before established in the hearts
of our people as the only sane way
of dealing with this destructive evil.
Fourth-Topeka and Kansas will
take no backward step in this great
moral and economic issue. We send
greetings to those fighting in this
that in Kansas prohibition is success

New Church Site

The trustees of the Congrega-
tional Church have acquired on
behalf Of the organization, fine
corner lot 15Ox140 on First Ave
nue. West and Sixth Street. This
ends a long and careful search by
the committee for suitable future
location, and it is generally felt by
the constituency of the church,
that a fine central location has been
secured. The valuable property
upon which the church and par
sonage buildings now stand will
not be offered for sale at present,
but the Building Committee will
meet again in the near future, and
hope to announce soon the plans
for the new buildings, which are
much needed for the growing con-
gregation and Sunday school. It
is expected that large and thor
oughly modern buildings will take
the place of the now altogether
inadequate ones.

CR0NNA'S CHANGE
VOTE EXPLAINED
CLAIMED THAT AFTER TALK WITH La
TOILETTE N. D. SAGE CHANGED
VOTE

Washington, March 25. There
was sudden and unexpected ac-
cretion to the North Dakota con-
gressional delegation last week
when Senator Robert M. La Fol
lette of Wisconsin by a slight of
hand performance divorced him
self from the Wisconsin congress
sional delegation long enough to
apparently assume the response
bilities of a member of congress
from North Dakota. After hav-
ing voted against Mr.. Cannon for
speaker the aforesaid accretion
was content to once more become
the senior senator from Wisconsin.
It happened in this way. Rep
resentative AISLE j. Gronna of
North Dakota, himself a candidate
for the United States senate, had
voted to retain Speaker Cannon in
the chair. Whether or not the
''Gold Dust Twin was absent
minded at the time is not known,
but bis vote was no less pleasing
than it was surprising and a round
of applause filed the chamber.
Enter Senator Robert M. La
Toilette:
Sitting at Mr.. Gronna's side
when the vote was cast, Mr.. La
Toilette at once protested and sue
cessfully so, it seemed, for the
house had not yet subsidized
when the classic form of the sage
from Dakota was seen edging it's
way through the crowd. It halted
before the clerks desk and in the
voice of a Pittsburg councilman
voted against the speaker as per
instruction, it is claimed, from the
senator from Wisconsin.
Heretofore North Dakota con-
gressmen have had a habit of vot-
ing their own convictions. 1t was
the old fashioned way. But that
practice no longer seems to obtain
in some quarters especially on the
part of men crowned with the
halo of insurgency and sprinkled
with the waters of sel6shness and
discomfort.
Whether or not Mr.. Gronna is

BODY FOUND NEAR
OLD NESS0N TRAIL
BODY OF HARRY DUNLAP FOUND sun
DAY EVENING NEAR TWELVE
MILE HILL.

The remains of Harry Dunlap
we're found last Sunday near
Twelve Mile hill, about two hun
dred yards from the old govern
ment trail to Nesson. Coroner
Thomas was notified and the body
was removed to his undertaking
parlors in this city. The body
was identified as that of Harry
Dunlap, who had lived IN Willis
ton for several years. Dunlap
was last seen in this city in No.
vember, 1909. At that time he
had been placed under arrest by
the police and locked up. He be-
came i'll in the Jail and was re-
moved to the hospital where he
soon recovered. The last day at
the hospital he put on his hat and
coat and when asked where he was
going said he was going to Aunt
Susies, to get some money he had
coming. As he did not come
back the police were notified but
they failed to locate him. Coro-
ner Thomas believes Dunlap died
shortly after he left town last fall
as the body was badly decomposed.
He leaves wife and two children.
VIM. Dunlap, father of the de-
ceased arrived in the city last
night from Springville, Iowa, to
arrange for the funeral.

BLEACHED FLOUR
KNOCKED OUT
PROCLAMATION BY SECT. WILSON ON
BLEACHED FLOUR--COURT DECISION
AGAINST BLEACHING

Fargo, March : 2S.-A death
blow has been dealt to the manu-
facture and sale of bleached flour
in the United States by a recent
proclamation issued by Secretary
Wilson Of the department of agri-
culture of the United States gov
ernment.
Copies of this proclamation
were received in Fargo yesterday.
incidentally it fully upholds the
position of Prof. E. F. Ladd and
the state law which he secured in
North Dakota prohibiting the sale
or manufacture of this product in
this state, also the decision Of
Judge Pollock upholding the N.
d. state law.
The proclamation reads as fol-
lows: .-s-
United States Department of
Agriculture, Office of the secre-
tary: To manufacturers, vendors
and consumers of bleached -four:
Flour bleached by the Alsop
process contains added poisonous
and added deleterious ingredients
which render the flour injurious to
health. aa.E
Flour bleached by the Alsop
process contains a substance
known as nitrites, which reduces,
lowers and injuriously affects the
quality and the strength Of the
-four.
? p Flour bleached by the Alsor
process is mixed, co)ored and
stained in manner whereby dam
age and inferiority are concealed.
For these reasons flour bleached
by the Alsop process is adulterated
within the meaning of the food
and drugs act of June 30, 1905.
So decided Judge Rufus E. Fos-

HEARING IN THE
BURKE co. CASE
SUPREME COURT SETS FRIDAY AS
time FOR BURKE COUNTY
ACTION

Bismarck, N. D., March %
Friday arguments will be made be-
fore the supreme court at Bis
marck in the matter of the appli-
cation of the opponents of the
creation of Burke county for re-
hearing. This is the case in which
Burke county was recently created
out of a portion Of Ward county.
The opponents of the plan, when
defeated in the first round, inn
mediately made an application for
a new hearing, bringing forth sew
eral reasons why they felt that q
new hearing should be granted.
In view of the Importance Of the
case, the court has evidently de-
cided that it wants oral arguments
on the subject, although this is q
very unusual proceeding in such
cases.
Attorney Geo. A. Bangs of
Grand Forks, N. D., represents
the Burke county people, while
Attorney Scott Rex is associated
with the parties fighting the crea-
tinn Of the county.

new N. P. line
into MONTANA
NORTHERN PACIFIC NAY BUILD
FROM OAKES, n. D., TO
: FORSYTHE, MONT.

Wahepton, N. D., March 26.
That the Northern Pacific railway
expects to extend the Staples di-
vision that terminates at Cakes
through to Forsythe, Mont, is a
reasonable certainty.
The company has had engineers
over the proposed route the past
year and from the reports given
out has found a feasible route, one
that will overcome many of the
difficulties experienced in running
fast trains over the main line.
The route west would take the
road across country to Edgeley in
La Moure county. From there
the route would be west through
southern Logan, central Emmons,
southern Morton, southern Het-
finger. southern Billings and con-
meet with the main line of the
Northern Pacific at Forsythe,
Mont.
The line would shorten the
western mileage and eliminate
numerous cuts on the main line.

FIGHT TO BUY
DAKOTA LAND.
BANKERS, FARMERS AND BUSINESS men
STAND in Line AND FIGHT FOR
CHANCE TO GET LAND

St. Paul, March 25.-Bankers,
business men and farmers who had
stood in line at the St. Paul gen.
eral offices of the Northern Pacific
from 6 p. m. yesterday until 8 p.
m. today, fought for a chance to
buy large tracts of North Dakota
and Montana land, 250,O0O acres
of which were thrown on the mar
,,1et today by the railroad COM
pany.
Each man was given a number.
When it was called, he was allowed
to select any amount of land in
any location he desired. One of
the first sales was to a banker, who
took thirty square miles.
l offered a "Glendive banker,
who was eight numbers ahead of
me, $4,000 and my number for his
chance" said r. S. Nut, president
of the Farmers State bank of Sid
ney, Mont, and he just laughed
and said, you couldn't get it for
less than $10,000.'
The land, which lies largely
along the Yellowstone, is virgin
prairie, rich and easily cultivated,
and is being sold by the company
at from 50 to $18 an acre. A sec.
ton means fortune.

STARS FOR n. D.
H0MES1EADERS OF MCKENZIE LEAD
IN STRONG MOVEMENT FOR
DlYERSlFlCATlON

Alexander, N. D. Mckenzie
county has just reason for pride in
the progressive spirit displayed
by it's farmers in the organization
of the Mckenzie County Farm and
Floral association, which has been
launched here. The association
proposes to hold annual exhibits
of farm products and flowers, the
object being to improve the seed
of all cereals and to make for
better..grade of stock and poultry,
the livestock. feature being par
ticularly important one.
In a new county like Mckenzie,
such a movement is Of great inn,
portance. It will go long ways
toward preventing a repetition OF
the errors into which farmers of
the : older settled counties have
fallen, that of planting year after
year, one crop of grain, to find at
the end of a few years that they
have practically ruined their soil.
Diversifcation will be preached
by the association to bring about
conditions in Mckenzie county
that do not exist in older sections.
Profting from their experiences,
the farmers here, many of whom
come from districts where the land
has been worn out by the old
method of farming, propose the
introduction of model farming
methods in Mckenzie county,
which will make this one of the
best sections of the state.
Alexander is the headquarters
for the association and the first
general exhibit of products will he
held here next fall. The officers
of the organization are: Presi-
dent, G. w. Millhouse; vice presi-
dent, R. B. Gore; secretary, j. w.
Foreman; treasurer, G. w. Hurd.
