FROM OTHER PENS
THE TEMPEsTTJOTTS MANNEB

THE TEMPESTUOUS MANNER
People should be very considerate
with others who differ from them, for
Eif such people are sincere and honest,
they are just as apt to be right as they
Where two equally honest and intelli-
geent persons disagree they are really
not far apart when the difference IS
finally analyzed. And certainly the
fact of disagr reement is not so alarm
ing as to excite one unduly.
Almost any man of experience can
look back on his life and see instances
where he was excited and rampageouS
because his view was once disputed and
see the chaSm that was once the differ
ence now filled up with green grass,
vioIets and other on1ens of peace One
is almost ashamed of himself at the in
tolerance he once displayed at another
for challenging his opinion.
We have noticed that the more ig
norant the man, the more excited and
tempestuous he is in speech, since the
more truth a man knows. the less fussy
and violent he is about it. If the
great issues of the day were to be set
tied by the people who get the most
excited over them they would be very
fooIisl1ly and falsely settled. The cause
of a b1ustery and frantic fellow is apt
to be a bad one.-Ohio State Journal
THE I. AND R.
There is much said these days about
the initiative and referendum, but the
issue as presented does not relate to
the merits of the policy. The question
is. should the exaction be put into the
Constitution and prescribed as a public
policy? There are men who are just
as much in favor of the policy as are
those who want to make a constitu-
tfonaI command o1 it. They want the
Constitution so worded as to make it
an object of legislation, dependen
upon the Will of the people at the time
the question is up for settlement.
There is no hostility in this It is as
much an appeal to the people as the
constitutional requisite makes it.
Besides. it is argued that after a trial
the people may want to change it, but
If it is an exaction of the Constitution
that would be difficult, if not impos-
sfbIe. So in the last ANALYSIS the con-
stitutionaI provision would defeat the
will of the people But it is not a
problem to excite prejudice or Ill feel
ing It is simply a question whether
to fix policy in the Constitution OF

it arises; whether to incorporate In the

emit members Of the Keeney family
have fought the case in the district

every requirement of the statute,
which was enacted at the 1903 ses-

made from the state treasury depart
ment The bonds had been sent to
the First National bank Of Fargo

ported, through c. o. Smith that the
report the board wanted. The

c. Fl. Mitchell who holds that posi-
ton by virtue Of his position as city
treasurer.
Mr.. Smith stated that he had taken
the matter up with Mr.. Mitchell per-
sonally and had been informed by the
treasurer that IL the board wanted
another kind OF a report to go ahead
and make him prepare 1t. One Of the
other members of the board reported
that Mr.. Mitchell had told him the
same thing substantially. A broad
smile passed over the faces of the
members of the board at this an
nouncement and 1t was suggested that
the present report of the treasurer be
received and placed on file.

served on Mr.. Mitchell which should
embody form of the kind of report
the board wanted. According to law,
he said, the treasurer is obliged to
submit the kind OF report the board
desires. Should he fail to comply
with the request made OF him, after
due notice is given, then other action
may ensue.

GENTRY BROTHERS
SHOWS here TODAY
SPLENDID PARADE THIS MORN

AT THE AFTERNOON PERFORM
ANcE-ANoTHER Rlo COM
PLETE SHOW TONIGHT.

Gentry brothers shows, the pioneer
trained animal exhibition Of the world
is In Fargo today. 1t ia almost use
less to enter Into discussion of what
they have to present to amusement
lovers In this community. Gentry
brothers shows are old enough and
we'll established enough i'd make de-
scriptive matter almost wasted ef-
fort.
There are many ia this city who
remember when this institution con-
sisted of few dogs and fewer ponies.
From that origin has come the pres-
ent day Gentry brothers. shows. They
growth has been phenomenal. This
fact is due to more than one cardinal
principle.
From their inception rules around
the Gentry brothers shows. have been,
that special attention should be paid
to ladies and children, and that the
patrons should be protected from the
many petty annoyances SO common to
some tented institutions. This key
stone, laid many years ago has be-
come one Of the most valuable assets
VI the SHOWS.
This afternoon for more than two
hours the performance was on, and
not ono of the throng left the tent TO
express other than favorable com
ment. The parade this morning at
tracted many and its quality was of
such a nature that 1t had much to
do with the size of the crowd that at
tended. The scope OF the exhibition
embraces almost entirely the families
Of the lower animals. In addition to
these there are many European per-
formers presenting novelties that
break the monotony most pleasantly.
II Is well worth the while Of those
who didn't attend the show this aft
ernoon to go tonight, because the mem
tai relaxation is certainly good for
anything that ails anybody.
