EXCISE BOARD

EDIroR EvENINc NEWS.

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
Unless a good many of us are very
much mistaken. Nthe people who vote
and pay taos are getting their eyes
open good and wide. Mayor Gaynor
says about the subway situation In
New York: "The people of this city
viii not be prepared for municipal
Operation until they become suffici-
emily educated and honest them
selves to elect competent and honest
lo~ficials. and thus have honest gov
ernfnent all the time That is as
true of the management of all de-
partments of the city's government
as 1t Is of municipal operation OF
subways. But tt is equally import
ant that the people keep up their in
Iterest in the city's affairs, which are
their own, after e~leetion-at least
to the extent of getting some intelli-
gent idea whether they are getting
the services they voted for and their
taxes are paying for.
] believe we, the people, at last
are beginning to realize that a thief
Is a thief, whether he steals from a
grocer or a city: that "they all do 1t"
is no more an excuse for a grating
oflee-holder than 1t is fer q dishon-
est bank clerk; that it Is Just as
crooked for city officials to give out
dishonest contracts to political
friends as it Is for a salaried nam
|ager of a private business to spend
his employers money on his own
personal friends. And / believe the
time Is going by when a politician
will dar to say that he considers pol
tiles a game, and that he Is playing
1T for all 1t is worth. Even games
have rules, by the way; and ] don't
believe anybody will have any per-
manent use for a player who deals
from the bottom of the pack, stacks
the cards, steals chips from the pro-
prietor and has a private working
agreement with the second man in
a friendly" party of three. Out
West we used to call these gentle
men "tin-horns"; and ! believe the
people are learning to despise them
just as much in politics as they al
ways have done in the great Ameri-
can game" of poker.
The conduct of excise matters in
this city Is one of the important
things hat all of us ought to know
about and take an interest in. Ii our
servants on the excise board are try
ing faithfully to do their duty, we
ought to know 1t and commend them
for it. If they are not doing this,
we ought TO know why, and where
to fix the blame.
/ have heard some ugly rumors,
and knowing what ! do of the meth
GODS of some politicians, here and
elsewhere, / say frankly that they
do not seem to me at all improb-
able; but the public ought to know
the truth about them.
/ have heard that influence was
used upon the excise board to in
duce them to hold up an application
because a favored insurance concern
was in danger of losing a little bus
mess. Is this true?,

Found the Saints Day.

One Russian peasant sued another to
recover the sum of 90 rubles. the debt
or having faithfully promised to re-
turn the money on St Henry's day.
But, having failed to do SO for a long
time, the lender discovered that the
Russian Orthodox church includes no
such saint as st. Henry, and the judge
before whom the case vas tried was
much puzzled as to what verdict he
should give. Happily the Idea occur
red TO him that, saint or no saint, ALI
Saints day included eve the most
doubtful. so he gave Judgment that the
SO rubles should be returned next All

CAPTURED HoRsETHIEF
Man Captured After Stern Chase by
Automobile.

Edmore, N. D.. Sept. 5.-Norman
Mikkelson and Harry Strand played
principal parts in a thief nabbing
game near Easily. Norman had his
horse tied to one Of the tieposts in
front of the hardware store while
doing his shopping and when ready to
go home found his horse gone.
On inquiry he found that a member
of a pot gang. camping near the place,
had united the horse and started for a
Joy ride, going south from town and
had been gone about five minutes.
Norman located Chauffeur Strand. get
ting him to crank up his auto and help
to overtake the thief.
They followed the track about a
mile and a half but lost it near the
Peter Plain home. After telephoning
to the people on the rural lines they
started after him again catching up to
him about a mile east Of c. P. Nell
sons. The horse thief was persuaded
to take a ride in the auto back to
Easily while Norman followed with
his driver, hanging onto the lines with
one hand and trying to keep the pris-
oner scared by holding a pistol in the
other hand. The horse thief sport was
taken to Langdon in the evening and
is now behind the bars waiting for
sentence and is no doubt hoping 1t

KNOCKERS TO Be

Commercial Club Plans UNIQUE
Campaign For Creating

Minut. N. D., Sept. 5.-Every person
who knocks any city, person or in
stitution in North Dakota on Septem-
Der i, will be lined fifty cents accord
ing to a plan decided upon by the
ranged for Il Booster day" for Sep
tember 8. the date of the drawing at
the opening OF The Berthold Indian
reservation.
1t is expected that there will be
10000 people i'll the city at the draw
ing, and a force of fifty policemen
has been engaged 10 enforce the pro-
visions of the booster plan. If q per-
son complain that he did not have u
good breakfast, he will be fined fifty
cents or sen to the jug. IL makes
no difference what the cause OF the
complaint may be, whether the hotel
accommodations are not adequate, the
commercial club is not doing its duty.
the crops are not as good as they
should be or the trains do not run
on schedule time, if the knock gets
to the ears of any of the policemen,
only the payment of a fifty cent fine
will eNcus the offender.
we are going to try to eliminate
knocking just for II day and if that
works satisfactorily, We are going to
keep it up for SOS days in the year."

THE FINANCIAL
TRADE REVIEW
New Levels For the Year Were
Touched by Prices Last
Week

New York, Sept. Sin the course
of the irregular movement Of prices
last week some new levels for the
year were touched. Previous low
points, however, were but slightly
exceeded and the market showed a
notable growth Of power Of resist
ance. and a greater tendency to rally
from declines. The selling pressure
was lightencd and the bear interest
was disposed to cover short con-
tracts. The rate of activity contract
ed at the recoveries, thus going to
show that there was little demand to
follow the rise in prices.
A summary Of the business at the
stock exchange for August shows that
a larger number Of shares was sold
than for any preceding month since
July Of last year. This record is in
dicative Of the hopelessness Of dis
posing Of stocks at the high prices
to which they had been pushed and
vainly held for months by the specu-
lative interests.
The months business in bonds pre-
sents a striking contrast. The par
value of bonds sold fell to the small
est total since November Of last year.
Prices have declined, although not
as violently as in stocks. but the
downward movement seems not to
have attracted increased demand. The
fall In stocks has been accompanied
by expressions of doubt over the sta
bility Of dividend rates.
Owing to shrinkago in earnings Il
is not unusual in times when doubt
is felt as. to the maintenance Of diyi-
dend rates, to see a diversion of de.
mand from shares to fixed interest
and mortgage securities. Bond deal.

L"ANDsEEKER ROBBED
Young Farmer Had Just Enough to
Pay Registration Fee.

Minot, N. d., Sept. 5.-Attacked by
two Eoldup artists, Elmer Noxen, a
young farmer of Dwight, N. D., was
robbed Of SIS in bills and on arriv-
ing at Minot found that he had barely
enough money to pay his registration
fee of twenty-five cents.
NoXen had heard Of the opportuni-
ties offered at the opening of the Ber-
thold Indian reservation and by dint
Of careful saving scraped enough to-
gether to make a trip to Minot. He
bought a round trip ticket and made
arrangements to stop at Wahpeton.
Besides his ticket, he had S2S in bills
and some small change. He thought
s2s would be enough to pay his ex-
penses at Minot and possibly to make
q trip out to the reservation.
While on his way to the Wahpeton
depot after dark, NoXen was suddenly
stopped by a couple Of toughs.
Money or your life" said the thugs
as they brandished revolyers in his
face. Noxen threw up his hands. and
while n Of the thugs held him the

sCHWARTY VERY I'LL
Role of Peacemiker May Yet Reach
in Death,

Mandan. N. D., Sept. 5.-The role
Of the peacemaker is a far from
smooth and Wendelin Schwartz, still
lying in a Bismarck hospital from in
juries which he received in q wedding
festival brawl at Odense, this county,
is evidence Of that fact. In the testi-
mony that was introduced at the
hearing Of Mike and Alexander Zahn-
Ier, charged with assault with intent
to kill, it was shown that Schwartz
had attempted to. act as peacemaker
when he received such a beating
that he has been on the verge Of death
for some time. One Of the brothers,
1t was charged by witnesses in the
case, struck him with a necl.yol1s,
while another struck him with a stick
after he had fallen to the ground.
The two men charged with the
crime were bound over to the district
court under especially heavy bonds,
these being fixed at $4,000 in each
case. The attending physician, one
of the witnesses for the prosecution,
stated that the condition of the in
iured III remained critical, and that
only a week ago an operation was
performed to remove a portion of the
skull.
