in Haveman and Ellenbaas' shop. and
Ike Ellenbaas is the Marine archetect

ships carpenter. The craft is a good

has all her sails bent. She is about
three feet long and will make some

Judge Engerud is One Of the Ab1est
Lawyers in the State Of North

Adams Budget: As to the can

hearty support of every thoughtful
citizen of the state. Judge En-

in the country, and who made an

CAN THEY ANS.
WER QUESTIONS
Put Them by the Senator About
Their Campaign Issues Before
the Primaries.

The following is copy Of a
letter sent by former United States
Senator Hansbrough to the editors
Of the Fargo News. the Valley
City Times-Record and the Rugby
Tribune:
To the Editor: 1t would be
difficult for me to even attempt to
measure my republicanism by the
evil things that the leaders and
some of the newspapers Of both
factions Of the party in North
Dakota saw fit to do and to say of
me two years ago, and that some
of them are now saying. | am the
kind of christian that, while he
may not subscribe to a particular
church doctrine, yet he believes
in God, and greatly regrets the
conduct of some of His professed
disciples.
Your personal illusions to me-
in other words, your villifcation-
sounds familiar. Permit me to
say that in my judgment it is
waste of energy and of space; l am
not running for Office. Still. I do
not object to it, but have thought
that, SO long as you have been so
kind as to devote some of your
valuable time to me, l ought to
discuss the matter with you, even
briefly, and entirely aside from
personalities.
What is the issue in this CAM
paign? When we analize the
business conditions of the country,
we do not find that they are suffer-
ing. Therefore, we must concede
that republican party policy has
been and is nearly perfect as it
has been possible to make it; it is
the climax of political ingenuity,
from an industrial and commercial
point of view. Of course, there
are a few gentlemen always who
succeed in persuading themselves
and few others that if they
were in Office conditions would be
better. Your denunciation of in
dividuals who do not agree with
you in matters of public policy
may be beneficial to those of your
friends that they think they ought
to be chosen to make and to ad-
minister the laws; but [ cannot
see how that individual changes
you advocate would better con-
ditions that are already good. Nor
is there the slightest danger that
these conditions are going to
change for the worse. Why, then,
your dread apprehension?
So that, by sending new men to
Washington-men opposed to the
policies that have brought pros
perity to the land-North Dakota
as a whole would gain nothing.

The FROST WAS
SOME TOO MUCH
Devils Lake Citizens Do not Turn
out in Crowds as Expected by
the Speaker.

"Judge w. s. Lauder, one of
the smartsst men in North Da-
kota, visited Devils Lake yester-
day. He was advertised to speak
here last night at the court house.
He. was advertised we'll, too. For
several days the advertisement of
the meeting had been running in
the journal. It had also been adver-
tised in the Inter-Ocean. Litho-
graphs with the judges handsome
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 speak.
ing 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 marshall, walked in. That
was the straw which broke the
camel's back, as the saying goes.
The Judge could conceal his emo
ton 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. It
was not very long, and it did not
take long to tell it. He said that
he had come to Devils Lake to
make a speech in which he de-
sired to discuss the issues of the
campaign from the standpoint of
an insurgent or progressive re-
publican, but inasmuch as there
were but few-too few-in at
tendance of the meeting, it would
be an imposition upon the tax
payers to make them pay for the
electric light meter which was
doing business in the basement.
Therefore the meeting was then
and there adjourned sine die. Be-
fore the gevel fell on the last act
of the sombre assemblage, the
Judge intimated that if ever the
people of Devils Lake became
awakened TO the importance of
sending a real pretty bunch Of re-
formed gangsters to Washington,
such as himself, Gronna, Helgeson
and Marshall, he would return.
but until then mot any more
Devils Lake frosts for him.

The case of Charles White will
be heard in this county by Judge
Kneeshaw. He is charged with
violating the prohibition law and
asked for change of venue from
Burleigh on account of the pre-

that county. Judge Winchester
sent the case to this county as he
thinks that feeling does not exist
here. How about it?

routes established in this state with

every farmer that kept books
in that period of political turge-
scence aud Industrial catastrophe
should turn back to his accounts
and examine the prices he got for
what he had to sell, and then COM
pare them with the prices he is re-
ceiying for the products he is now
selling. If he contracted debts in
those times-an most. farmers
were obliged to do so then-when
he expected to pay il from the
products of wheat sales at from 30
to so cents bushel, it will dawn
upon him that he is now paying
the debt from the proceeds of
wheat sales at $1.OO a bushel. In
other words, $1,000 debt of that
day, with 50-cent wheat, is in ef-
feot q $500 dett now with $l.OO
wheat.
How is it possible for the poll
tical agitator to convince the farm
ers that, if he is elected to Office,
he can better these conditions? :?
Isn't it more reasonable to appre-
hend that by his continued agita-
ton, while he might better his
own condition in getting his name
in the public payroll, the farmer
by encouraging the agitator, will
again pay the penalty Of the low
prices? And would not the 81, 600
debt Of today, with $l.OO wheat
really amount to $1,000 in the near
future, with 5O-cent wheat.

North Dakota farmers that they
receive no protection under repub-
