the citizens to a realization of
the fact that while they had slept
they had been shamefully out
ragged. They were disguised
with the methods used by Mac
pherson in the campaign just
closed-it is true, Bob had prac-
ticed the same methods; but it is
characteristic of the American
people to scrutinize the tactics of
the victor more closely than those
of the defeated-and they de-
manded a change. Bob had no
mind to wait three years until the
next maporalty contest. More
over, he must take advantage of
the popular awakening which,
with the cynical unbelief shared
by many others, he deemed to be
only ephemeral. So he set about
the capture of the county offices,
among them that of district at
torney, the most important in our
scheme of government the pos
session of which is essential to
the successful fruition of our cor
ruptionists' schemes.
To strike for this office was to
attack the chief stronghold of the
interests. Bob could have had al
least a promise of their support
had he been willing to accept

Those about him now saw a
change come over him, as he
plunged into a campaign to turn
his defeat into victory. This
change was marked chiefly by a
Frightening of the eyes and a
genuinely mirthful ring in his
rare laugh. The old habit of tact
turnity was often thrown off. The
heat of battle was bringing to
him the spring of youth which he
had lately lost. And Bob was
now entered upon fight against
forces beside which MACPHERSON
and his ring were as pygmies. The
heart of Mrs. Dunmeade was
made glad, as she saw him COM
PEELED by the exigencies of his
position into direct antagonism to
the interests that were almost
openly arrayed against her hus-
band.
The city was now awakened
from the lethargy in which it had
1ai nfor a generation. The con-
tinued exposures in the Bugle,
which the opposition press tried in
vain to counterfeit by charges
that Bob himself had been an ac-
complete in the same misdeeds,
and the knowledge gained during
the recent campaign, had aroused

the nation. Men, absorbed
though they were in the issues of
a national campaign, found time
to turn their eyes toward the
Steel City and ask themselves the
Who and what is
this grim, lonely figure fighting
for the mastery of his city, single
handed against an alliance whose
tremendous power Is beginning
vaguely to be realized ? And what
does his success pretend? The
only man who could have answer
ed these questions gave no
thought to them. Bob was too
busy for introspection.
The nomination won, Martin
safely elected, and the county pat
ronage so disposed as to rivet the
weak points in his machine-for
so it must be called-Bob was in
the position of man who owns
all the water around a coveted
island but not the island itself.
The county government. was his,
but the city administration, the
goal of his effotr, was still in
MacPherson's hands, and would
be, at least until the next mayor
atty election, more than two years
distant. Bob made tentative eff
forts to bride Mayor Henry to q
desertion of his boss; but Henry
was loyal. Many long hour Bot
spent over the problem how tc

their conditions. Before his in
tentiop~ became public, he was
visited by an avowed agent of the
combined steel concerns of the
city, who offered to contribute
largely to his campaign fund, IL
he would allow them to name his
candidate. Bob, who knew that
a similar arrangement had been
made with Macpherson and that,
once assured that the winning
candidate in any case would be
their servant, they would surely
throw their weight against him,
refused. A helpless district attor-
ney played no part in his plans.
The McAdoo organization was
extended out into the boroughs
and country districts of the
county. In this work Remington,
with his native diplomacy and
winning manners, was an invalua-
BILE aid. The choice of a candi-
date for the district attorneyship
was the most difficult part~of the
program. Bob at length found
one suitable to his purpose in
Martin, brilliant and ambitious
young lawyer. When Bob first
preached the subject to him, Mar
tin demurred.
"If I took it, I'd Want to make
record" he said. There's a
certain line of prosecutions, for
political offenses, that I'd like to
push. And l don't care to be used
as a club to force MACPHERSON in

from the prosecutions"

hearty assistance to this work; 1t
was a preliminary to the project
he had in view. When he felt
that the last remnant of popular

stroyed, he ventured upon a bold
move.

BOYS OF FARGO In "A BIG
CIVIC BEAUTIFYING SCHEME
Young Lads Of the City VIII Be Given the Opportunity to Get
Some Practical Training, Lots Of Fun and at the
Same Time Beauty the City

A plan of systematic gardening, hor
ticulture and landscape work. which
will ultimately figure prominently in
the park system Of Fargo and will
mean much towards the Identification
of the gate city, is about to be launched
among the boys of Fargo.
The proposition is one Of the big
gest OF its kind ever attempted in the
northwest. and If carried through will
mean much to the city from point
Of civic pride, and In addition will be
a splendid training of the Fargo boys
and girls along practical lines.
According to the proposal that has
been made, the work will be started
among the school boys this year and
next year 1t will be branched out and
girls will be included in the PROPOSE
tion. With the entrance of the girls
in the work the steps will then be
taken towards the Identification of the
city along the lines that Jamestown
adopted some time ago.
The work this year will be carried
on in back lots of the homes OF the
youth of Fargo Where no back lots
are available, real estate men in the
city have promised to donate vacant
lots which can be cultivated and kept
from being filled with unsightly weeds.
Vegetable gardening will be under
taken the first year. According to the
plan, a tract of land for each boy will
be laid out and all ground will cover
certain amount of specified square
feet which will not be large. The idea
Of making the tract of ground small
Is to improve the order of the work
to be done, and then again not to make
the tract so large that to work ii will
mean too much labor to the boy.
1t Is believed that IL the tract is
small, the boy will work at 1t with a
give it more attention. With a large
tract to work, the fun of the PROPOSE
ton would be lost and the lads lose
interest in the work
The plats will be laid out in vege-
table gardens. Boys will be allowed
to raise certain kinds Of vegetables in
these different tracts and they will be
limited in the work undertaken.
Compete for Prizes.
every DOy enBhSSu IN LnlS gardening
scheme will compete for several prizes
which will be hung up. In this man
ner greater interest will be maintained
in the work and the standard of eff
cheney will be made a great deal
higher. With list Of prizes to be
gotten, the quality of the product of
the work will be greatly increased and
better vegetables raised.
The commercial club will listen to
proposition tomorrow evening re-
garding a grand prize for the boys
who take up the work. A number of
the prominent members of the COM
mercial club have been approached
with the proposition Of the club Civ
ing grand prize in the way of cash
or a loving cup, and all of them, when
told of the plan, were enthusiastic
over the proposition.
The board Of directors of the Y M
C. A will be asked to give a number
Of boys memberships to some Of the
lads who show the best results from
their work, and it is most probable
that the board will allow several mem
berships, as boys will be reached that

Hiiou Has an Act Of Special Excel
Ienes--one that Will Interest All
by it's Electrical Effects.

For the first half Of the week, the
Bijou will have a bill far above the
usual high average. The newspaper
reports Of western cities of this act
are very fiattering, and commend the
excellence of Albert Gray and jose
phine Collins. It is an act of music
and of living pictures that is far above
the usual type. Miss Collins is beau
tiful in face and figure and Mr.. Gray
is soloist of more than ordinary fame
possessing a beautiful baritone voice.
He has two electricians on his staff to
manage his elaborate equipment. The
scenery Is new and shows careful study
in preparation.
Hans Millions Is the title of the
comedy picture and 1t is uproariously
funny. Hans Sprudel Is a clerk in
Jacob Schmid's grocery store and is
discharged because he has the audacity
to make love to Lena, Schmid's daugh-
ter.
Soon afterwards Jacobs reads in a
newspaper that Hans Sprudel Is an
heir to a vast fortune of the steel
king of Essen Peter Sprudel They
resolve TO get Hans back at any cost.
Jacob swallows his pride and gets
Hans back at the store and married
to Lena. AS 1t Is necessary for Hans
and Lena to go to Germany to claim
the fortune, Jacob writes out a check
for $500 and away they go.
A few weeks later Mr.. and Mrs.
Schnid receive a letter which tells
them that owing to the enormous debts
! the fortune amounts to 81.
The Mission Carrier from Old Next
co is an interesting picture from old
Spanish, Cal. It is an old story of
the conflict Of love. jealousy, hate and
mercy, each strivinfs-for the mastery
of human hearts. Which conquered
will be told at the Bijou. The best
show for the money. Come to the BIZ
jou for happy afternoon or evenings
