HIS BIGNEss OF MIND AND HEART
RECALLED IN AN INTERESTING
ARTICLE IN THE BOSTON TRAM
SCRIPT BY FORMER NORTH DA.
KOTA MAN.

In an article on Bismarck and M. H.
Jewell, F. b. Tracy, formerly of this
state, has the following in The Boston
Transcript:

hotel inferno was the Office of The Bis
marck Daily Tribune. The president
of the concern was a New Hampshire
and Dartmouth man who was boss"
of the state senate and president of
the national bank, who never fails each
year even now to see green and Grim
son battle at the stadium. The city
editor was a young, slight fellow, full
of humor and wit. His name was and
is Jimmy Foley, or, as he signs his
name to the jingles and jokes you have
read by the thousands, James w. Foley.
Occa sionally the foreman, a southerner
who took part in the bombardment of
Alexandria, came In. Presently you ran
across long, slender, pompadoured
and scowling person whom everybody
called Jewell" He was the editor.
Now / make free to say that Jewell
was of the salt of the earth. Liber-
atty, generosity, kindness were natural
to him. When he told visiting news
paper man to make the office your
headquarters he didn't mean it in a
perfunctory way. He meant and
plainly said: Bring your typewriter
up here, get a table, use our paper and
anything else you want" Not much,
you see, but yet what lot! That was
just JEWELS way. There had been a
fire in the Office year or two before.
How did it happen?" you asked. why,
/ guess it was Plummer. The colonel
used to light his pipe with big sheet
of paper and then throw the paper on
the floor and stamp on 1t. Sometimes
ne would forget to stamp ] guess that
night was one of the times. But. Lord!
nobody around here would complain of
the colonel If he had burned the whole
building down. And IL you asked who
Plummer was you were told that he was
a chap who did some writing and
speaking throughout the state, and
during the session camped in The
Tribune Office. A few years later I
saw Colonel Plummer here IN Boston
and told him what Jewell had said. "Of
course" he replied, II didn't set the
place on fire, but Of course, as Jewell
said, l might and no one would have
scolded me. That was JEWELS way"
Who was Jewell? A newspaper
man pure and simple. A native of the
Senaca lake region, New York, who
drifted to Michigan and got into
newspapering in Chicago. City editor
of Chicago daily on the night when
the Bismarck telegraph wire spelled
out its message of massacre, he was
attracted to the source Of the mes

Big CHICAGO SUCCESS
ST. Paul Orchestra Secures Engage
nnent, Held for Over Twenty Years
by Famous Thomas Orchestra.

When the st. Paul orchestra was en-
gagged to play the Messiah for the Chi
cago Apollo club last Christmas, they
had very difficult undertaking on
their hands. For years, the famous
Thomas organization had played this
oratorio for them and comparisons
were bound TO be made. Much to the
surprise of the critics the result was
more than satisfactory, and they
played with finish and reverence for
this great oratorio which before that
had been noticeably lacking. This
was all the more remarkable for they
were under the leadership of strange
director.
1t is not generally known that Mrs.
Rothwell Wolff who will sing here
with the ST. Paul orchestra was first
presented in the country by Henry
Savage in his production of Madam
Butterfly, the beautiful composition by
Puccini. Savage heard the young
prima donna when she was singing the
leading soprano roles at the Mainz OPP
erahouse and at once recognized her
remarkable ability. He was obliged
TO pay the management $4,000 to re-
lease her from her contract that she
might be able to come to America.

THE sUFFRAcIsT.

The question has often been dis
cussed---
Should women be legal voters
And has as many times been denied.
Because they have such motives.
Blind piggers would have to clear the
way
High license, we would have none
Wed stop the manufacture Of the
whey.
And that would comfort some one.
For the liquor traffic we'd put down,
If it was in our power
Wed vote for prohibitioners
And not for drunken scoundrels.
Wed have an anti tobacco law
AS they had in olden times,
That within ten miles Of any house
To use 1t would be a crime.
And such would be the laws we'd
make
'Gainst whiskey, tobacco and gin
That every topper would make a wry
face.
And take his last drink with grin.

RURAL LIFE NEEDS.

President Charles S. Barrett, of the
Farmers union--in one of his public
communications to members of that
rganization-has pointed out an ur-
gent need IN rural life-the Develop
ment of more progressive qualities in
country jewellers.
Trail blazers are needed in every
community" declares Mr.. Barrett. ito
mark the way to different order of
things" "one Of the most dificult
things in the world" he adds. ais to
do things a little differently from ones
neighbor, and yet that is one of the
first of the needs in the country life of
America today. The life Of the city is
different from that of the country.
In the former the quickening influence
and civilization accelerate development
cooperation is Involuntary. and there
is less need for large number of
leaders.
In the. country the problem is more
complicated. The average farmer lives
the year round in rut. Many Of his
customs he has inherited from his
father. Others he copies from his
neighbors. AS a result, life proceeds,
from one years end to another with
not one-tenth degree OF progress wit
messed in the city, into which all the
time is pouring new ideas and new in
huences"
It is true that much OF the ad-
yancement and progress of cities is
due to the momentum evolved by close
~ knitted communities. This mo-
mentum, practically always in the di-
rection of growth, carries with it the
unprogressive members of the COM
munity-as we'll as the progressive
ones. It is powerful force in enlisting
the interest and energy Of the unpro-
gressives--in fact, 1T changes them
from laggards to pushers.
An illustration Of this is the matter
of sanitation. The city is impossible
without sanitation, and hence the prop
er amount Of attention and care is
given to 1t. In the country this is a
matter left exclusively to each farm
home and individual ideas and Gus
toms. Hence farm yard and barn
sanitation is comparatively neglected
thing though its Importance to
health and happiness is inestimable. Ii
is now. however receiving much moro
attention than formerly.
SO, too. because of his isolation the
farmer finds it difficult to throw off old
careless habits--both of living and Of
farming. II is hard for him to adopt
new methods.
The farmer, however, who has enough
Of the go-ahead spirit in him to drop
the old ways that hamper and take on
the new ones that mean growth---in
other words, dares be a trail blazer for

the leaders and big fighters of his day

and critical and yet sympathetic spec

state or gain office. He was first and
last newspaper man. He loved the
confusion, the strife, even the dirt and

laughed at them. For he was true and

BETTER HORSES.

Since the establishment Of the stall
lion registration board there has been
a movement in this state for better
horses. The duties OF the board are
such that the owners of stations must
make an accurate report of the breed
ing and also of the condition of the
animals. Scrubs and grades are being
weeded out and thoroughbreds are
more in demand. record Of every
animal in the state for public service
is given in the official report Of the

Minot Optic: Never in the history
OF North Dakota has the legislature
been submitted to such intense criti-
cistn as the legislature of 1911 which
is the first insurgent legislature that
the state has ever witnessed and which
is about to close its deliberations.
whether this criticism is just or not
The Optic is not prepared at this time
to say. but the fact Is that the ieadlrs
insurgent papers all over the state
have accused this insurgent legisla-
ture OF every crime on the political
calendar shows that even the insur-
gents are not above reproach.
Editor Packard OF The Valley City
Record, in giving the insurgent
legislature a daily drubbing, accuses
it of the most high-handed methods,
dealings, underhand work, shamefui
tactics and a general all around failure
to do duty, in comparison with which
Packard says, the worst stalwart legis-
lature that was ever convened would
be a Sunday school picnic.
We have always been of the opinion
that when the insurgents got In pow
err there would be trouble. 1t is
easier to destroy than to build up. II
is easier to criticise than to accomp-
lish. When it was merely matter or
tearing down and making vague
charges. the insurgents did well, but
when 1t came to carrying out the poll
cies Of the insurgent leaders, the legis-
lature found it had a hard job on its
hands
Take the Cowan matter, for instance
George Winship, Pat Norton, Frank
Packard and a few other would-oe IN

flaming head lines, Failure to in

Former governor, ]. M. Devine' on
the other hand, one Of the most proml-
nent and fearless insurgents In the
state who was on the ground during
the Cowan investigation and got all

the house did it's duty in refusing 10
place Cowan under impeachment, that
it was largely a political move 10 ue-
stroy Judge Cowan at any cost ana
that any fair minded man, being on
the ground and knowing all the facts
in the case would say that the
methods employed against CoWan
were absolutely unfair and unjust.
There you are. The insurgent leg
islature has failed to carry out the
private opinion of a few self-ap-
pointed leaders. who insist that their
word should be law, that whoever,
after sitting all the evidence, took the
opposite view is rascal, traitor and
a disgrace to the state.
