II. The subject must rejoice in
the Lord. Acts S:39; 1894. This
cannot apply to infants.

20. Infant baptism is obedience by

such obedience.

infant baptism, so called, ignore the
will of the child. and often practice
1t against its will 1t frequently kicks
against it! There would be as much
virtue in going up and down the

en- against their will to pray, and
there is as much scripture for it.

Holy Ghost Neither of these ever

blessing.
"a. The subject can know moth
ing of the ordinance and must depend
wholly upon the testimony of others.
How can such an act avail with God?
25. without faith it is impossible
to please God. The victim of infant
affussion can have no faith in the act;
hence 1t cannot be pleasing to God.
Heb, 1856.
26. Whatever is not faith is sin.
Rom. 1923. Infant baptism comes
under this condemnation.
"a. Henry Ward Beecher says
there is no more Bible command for
infant baptism than for the use OF an
ox-yoke.
2S. Infant baptism originated in
The doctrine of original sin and bap-
tismal regeneration. The Bible does
not teach either of these dogmas.
29. Those who practice so-called
infant baptism do not baptize them.
They rantize them. Sprinkling and

SHORTAGE is MADE GOOD
Retiring State Treasurer Replaces Al
legged Deficit.

Following the reorganization of the
First State bank of Bowbells, certifi-
Gates of deposit in the office of the
state treasurer, given by that bank,
were taken up and a total of $50, 691.9 81
was turned over to Gunder Olson, the
new treasurer. Payment vas made at
noon. This places on the treasurer
ship situation a new phase that may
prove extremely interesting.
The certificates of deposit taken up
by the reorganized bank were those
involved in charges brought against
G. L. Bickford, retiring treasurer, who
was arrested. The fact that they have
been made good, it is declared by
Bickford's friends, does away with the
charge of embezzlement that was pre-
ferred, as no actual shortage exists.
The attorney general, at the instance
of whom one of the warrants was is
sued, says, however, that prosecution
will be attempted.
In a resolution adopted by the house
the committee authorized to- conduct
an investigation into the affairs of the
state t~reasurer's Office was empowered
to go back into the administration of
that Office for a period of eight years.
The examination is to be as complete
as possible, and a request is made for
a report covering the in which
deposits have been made with banks
during that time.

New York, Jan. 20.-Paul Morton,
president Of the Equitable Life AS
a society and secretary of the
navy under Theodore Roosevelt, died
of a cerebral hemorrhage in the Ho-
tel Seymour here. His wife and his
elder brother, JOY, were summoned,
but he died a few minutes before they
arrived, an hour after he was Strick-
en-. His close friend, e. ]. Berwind,
arrived a few minutes earlier, per-
haps ten minutes before Mr.. Morton
breathed his last. Mr.. Morton was
unconscious from the moment of the
stroke and neither recognized those
about him nor spoke.
Mr.. Morton himself did not know
that his life was in danger, but his
family, his physicians and a few close
friends knew that his condition was
precarious and that his life depended
on his taking particular care of him
self.
Paul Morton was born in Detroit,
May %, 1857. Most of his early life
was spent at Arbor Lodge, Nebraska

City, the home of his father, J. Ster-
ling Morton, secretary of agriculture,
under Cleveland.
In 1872 Mr.. Morton entered the
Omaha offices of the Burlington and
Missouri River railroad as a clerk in
the land office. His rise in the rail
road world was rapid and when he left
the Burlington in 1890 he held the po-
clifton of general freight and passen-
ger agent of the system.
After six years connection with the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company he
became vice president of the Santa Fe
railroad, which position he held until

tary of the navy by President Roose-
welt. He was made president of the
Equitable Life Assurance society in
1905 and has held that position since.
Mr.. Morton was married to Char
lotte Goodrich of Chicago in 1880.

necessary expense.
The rapidity with which the senate
%cOncurred in the house resolution pro-
viding the investigation into the state
~treasurer's Office should extend back
over a period of at least eight years
was the only unusual feature of the
session of that branch Of the assem-
bly,. When the resolution was read a
motion was made that it be referred
to the state affairs committee, but it
did not prevail, and a moment later
the resolution had beer adopted with
only one dissenting voice.

Grain and Stock Growers Convention
Closes.

Closes.
The big Tri-State Grain and Stock
Growers convention held at Fargo
has closed While the attendance
was not as large as on some for
mer occasions, because of adverse
crop conditions, the delegates were of
a more earnest and enthusiastic type.
The men who really mean business
were there in almost as great num-
bers as formerly, but there were few
er of the class who usually come for
a good time.
The inability Of James J. Hill to
keep his appointment was a great dis
appointment. Mr.. Hill wired from the
East that it would be impossible for
him to come, as he was detained on
important railway matters.
The resolutions committee an
nounced that two of the matters to
be reported are recommendations
that North Dakota enact a measure
providing for elevator inspectors to
work in this state and with the North
Dakota members of the Minnesota
and Wisconsin grain commissions.
The resolutions will also request the
legislature of Minnesota to pass a law
requiring all grain boards of trade and
grain commissions in that state to
keep their proceedings and books open
as matters of public record.
