NOTABLE ADDRESS IN CONGRESS
ON SOME OF THE NEW TANGLED
POLITICAL SCHEMES OF THE DAY

body those limitations, and the duty
of the executive officers and of the
courts to enforce them. They are of
especial importance to the weak and
the poor, for the strong and the rich
are better able to take care of them
selves. There can be no liberty in the
real sense unless the government is
effectively denied the power to invade
the inalienable rights of the citizen.
1t was the boast of Lord Chatham
that English liberties were so secure
that the humblest subject of the King
was supreme in his own dwelling
place. that his house might be so
poor that the winds could shake il
and the rains drive through the roof,
yet the King himself dare not enter
1t unbidden. 1t is more than a matter
Of mere sentiment that the humblest
citizen Of this great republic can
stand in Gods sunlight in the con-
seriousness that he is the possessor of
certain rights and liberties that the
Government, with all it's wealth and
power, cannot take from him.
Liberty is not matter of grace, it is
an inherent right; and history abounds
in illustrations of the truth that real
liberty is secure only where the Cow
eminent is powerless TO invade it.
There is as much if not greater need
of limitations on the power of Gov
eminent in pure democracies as in
monarchies.
Despotism of Majorities.
There is no despotism in history
more cruel and merciless than the
despotism of an unbridled majority. It
carries no individual responsibility. A
monarch who has unlimited power car
ries the responsibility for it's exercise,
Irresponsible power is always liable to
abuse. While under normal conditions
the people are conserVativ and their
purposes and impulses are good, there
are times when public feeling be-
comes greatly excited and a frenzy Of
passion will sweep over the country
with the fury of cyclone. It is under
such conditions that representative
constitutional government is necessary
to protect free institutions.
These seem to be plain observations
to make in public by one who repre-
sents the people and who if he comes
back here will have to go to the people
for approval. But l would be willing
to make this speech in every county
in my Congressional district, and I am
confident it would have the indorse-
ment and approval of four out of five
of the people without regard to party.
Level headed men know what they can
do and what they cannot do wisely in
connection with public affairs. They
know that general lawmaking by the
people through the agency of the bal
lot is impracticable and must break
down with its own weight I believe
in primary election laws, properly safe

It's Coming.

The Minor Teller of last week, in its
writeup Of the band concert at that
place, says in part Of the concert that
wiirappear here on Dec. 22nd:
.sThe concert opened with one Of the
good msrches played for the first time
to a Minor audience, and then in order
came overtures, descriptive pieces.
anvil choruses and other marches that
have never been heard by the Minor
people, until at later hour the last
piece rang resonant through the air
and struck vibrating cord in the minds
and hearts of the entire audience.
Thus enthused, EXPLANATIONS Of SUR
prise and delight were heard from all
directions while the remarkable adj
lvancement and cleverness of once
crude and inexperienced collection Of
men and boys, became the chief topic
for. some time after. They have given
other concerts, and they were considered
good from an amateur standpoint, but
this one SO far surpassed any Of the
previous ones, and the execution, melo-
dy and unity Of action. was SO marked
and apparent, that it became one Of
the extraordinary events in the exper-
ience Of the people and they were
forced to extend the merit and praise
It rightly deserved. And the Teller is.
pleased to be one Of those who can
without prejudice or envy extend its
compliments to the success Of the or
ranization and the concert. z :5ss 6 s5y

The Story Of a Ring.

Biased on information and certain
founl in recent issues of
he Cogswell Enterprise.)
Leslie had a diamond ring,
It cost him sixty cents,
And everywhere that Leslie went
He ridiculed expense.
The girls, they crowded all about
To see the diamond ring,
When one of them had tried it on
She tho't it just the thing.
Then Leslie's heart began to melt,
The girls was soft as lead.
So Leslie lost that diamond ring
And now it's hers instead.
Don't ask me what the jewel means,
Or its accomplishments,
For it's fine engagement ring
And cost but sixty cents.
Judge not its value by its cost,
o no, not on your life,
He bought it in ONE lottery
And swaps it for a wife.

SHERIFF IS SHOT
IN COLD BLOOD
Officer Of Richland County Is
Killed in Performance
Of His Duty.
Murderer Is Pursued by Posse
and Shot Down After
All Night Chase.

The citizens of Oakes and vicinity
were greatly interested in the tragedy
that was enacted last Saturday and
Sunday. in Richland county, wherein
Sheriff Moody was shot and killed in
the performance Of his duty and his
assailant was hunted to his death. The
story of the murder is told on page
three of this issue.
''Doc." Moody, as he was called,
was a well known character of the
southeastern part Of the state. He
had been sheriff two terms, then re-
linguished as the law required and
Heley Of Hankinson was elected to his
place. At the next opportunity doc"
came before the voters, and although
democrat did not receive the nomina-
ton from his party. Heley, the re-
publican nominee, was his principal op-
ponent, but on the face Of the returns
.'Doc." won out in the three cornered
contest by something like eleven votes.
Heley contested the election, but the
courts finally decided in favor of Moody.
The man who shot the sheriff was
supposed to be Charles Moline, the
man. who killed his father in Pierce
county, and sent to penitentiary, but
later was adjudged insane at Bismarck
and sent to the hospital for the insane
at jamestown. From this institute
Moline escaped on October 9th. Later
advices from Wahpeton, however, say
that the man who shot and killed Sher-
iff Moody and was himself hunted down
and shot to death, is Bert Hudson and
not Charles Moline, the escaped lunatic.
The positive identity Of Hudson was
made Tuesday by O. G. Reimen-
schneider, farmer who lives near
Wahpeton. 5 Hudson worked for Rein
enschneider last winter and until April.
Since that time be has; woske on other
farms near Wahpeton and during the
fall has hung out in Wahpeton.
In some respects he bore q striking
resemblance to Moline, but was not SO
tall by four inches and was dark while
Moline was fair. He had been arrested
4 short time ago by one of the deputy
sheriffs Of Richland county on suspicion
that he was Moline, but had later been
turned loose.
Warden Hellstrom. Of the state peni-
tentiary was in Wahpeton Tuesday

PROGRESSIVE NOT
HARD TO DEFINE
Reactionaries Attach Many
Meanings to Onward
March of Progress.
Colorado, the Boss Ridden
State, Out With Strong
Set Of Resolutions.

Washington, D. c., December 10
One of the subjects which is always
coming up is: ''What is progres.
sive?" The other day reactionary
republican from an eastern state said,
speaking of progressives: ''These
gentlemen seem to think that they all
belong to the firm of Smith, Virtue &
Co." The same day reacticnary
democrat in the house said that the
progressives were merely people who
got in front of the procession, sat down
and blocked its onward march, and
then after the procession had run owe,
them, they played the same game once
more. 1t will be clear to every pro.
gressive that neither of these reac.
tionaries has any true idea of what q
progressive actually is.
OF course progressives vary in diff.
ferent localities according to local con.
ditions, but in the main their purpose
is one and the same, and may be ex.
pressed in the phrase that the progres.
sive movement Is the struggle to wrest
the control of the government from
the representatives of special privilege
and restore it to the people.
A typical progressive program is that
drawn up by the progressive reptbli.
can conference of the state of Colorado.
1t ls as follows:
Believing that crisis exists in the
affairs of Colorado, and the nation, in.
volving fundamental rights and liber.
ties. the progressive republicans in
Colorado, in preliminary conference as.
sembled, hereby declare:
''We endorse the announcement Of
the national progressive republican
conference, held in Chicago, Octobe,
16. 1911.
''Wes favor Senator Robert M. Ii
Toilette for president of the United
States.
Eve favor for Colorado a presiden.
tial primary law, and insist in the alb
sence Of such an enactment a presi.
Dental primary vote of Colorado re.
publicans be called for voluntarily by
the republican state central committee.
1--WE favor constitutional amend.
ment for the recall Of all public officials.
IA headless ballot law.
IA short ballot law.
4'An amendment to our direct prim.
aries election law, eliminating the con.
vention feature.
IA workingman's compensatory law.
can eight-hour law for women.
IA public utilities law for the con.
troll and regulation of the rates, capt..
alization, physical conditions and ser.
vice Of all public utilities in Colorado,
including railways, tramways, tele.
graphs, telephones, light and water,
with anti-pass and anti-privilege pro.
visions modelled along the lines of the
Wisconsin and New York laws.
Senator Guggenheim announces that
he will not be candidate for re-elec-
ton next year. Does this mean that
Colorado has really gone progressive?

Merricourt, was in town Wednesday
and while here found time to make a
short call at this office. Mr.. Sullivan
has decided to be candidate on the re-
publican ticket for the Office of county
treasurer. Mr.. Sullivan has been a
resident of this county for fourteen
years and ought to make a good run
for the Office.
Glendale Leader: Already one oc-
casionally hears someone mentioned
for county Office. The past week we
have heard mentioned for sheriff, Com
missioner Bruce Scott of Monango,
Walter Huffman of Oakes, Jake Geb-
hardt Of Monango, and Jay Stiles of
Glendale. Alex. Wright has been
mentioned for treasurer and auditor.
If Alex. should really decide to run for
either Of these offices and should go to
making speeches around the county,
the voters could never resist the force
of his oratory.

TO MAKE DOUGLASS MIXTURE
How This Celebrated Tonic for Hens
and Chickens Is Made-Good
Cholera Preventive.

Probably the best tonic for hens
and chickens is the noted English
Douglass Mixture" 1t is made as
follows:
Take one pound Of sulphate of iron
and two ounces Of sulphuric acid and
dissolve in one gallon Of rain or soft
water. Add one tablespoonful of this
mixture to each gallon Of drinking
water The fowls should have no
other water to drink when the Doug
lass mixture is given.
The recipe should be preserved by
those having poultry as when proper
y prepared and given 1t is invalu-
able In the prevention Of cholera, and
IN toning up the health Of the flock.

SECURING A LAYING STRAIN
Watch Carefully Production Of Birds
Kept and Use Eggs for Matching
from Best Fowls.

To breed up laying strain there
is no better way than to watch care
fully the laying powers of the birds
kept, and use only eggs for Matching
purposes from birds whose general
character as winter layers will bear
examination. He must be poor poul-
try-keeper who has not observed in
dividual birds who can be classed as
first-rate layers, and If eggs from
such birds are Matched the owner can
depend upon benef1ting himself by
the progeny raised, and have the add
ed pleasure of benefiting agriculture
generally. The observant poultry
keeper will soon learn to distinguish
the good layers. for such hens or pull
lets will be found to be first out in
the run at daybreak and the last to
roost at eventide, besides always pos
sessing good appetite, and being on

ing is largely matter of strain, and
1T certainly will pay the owner of any
flock of poultry to perpetuate a sat

may be started in humble way by
selecting two Or three birds which in
vestigation has proved to be prolific
producers, preferably two-year-
old hens, with trap-nested round, mat

following season the pullets Matched
should be mated to the male bird, and
any cockerel Matched to the parent
hens, whilst in the following season
the granddaughters of the grandson
to the original hens. Such pedigree
breeding is full Of fascinating inter
est, and the records made invariably
prove of great value to an aspiring
poultry-breeder. Every effort should
be made to retain each season, by
careful selection, only the best lay.

such means that fowls with 200 egg

Captain Plum regained his compo-

the chink of gold pieces and when he
looked again the two piles of money
were close to the edge of his side of
the table.
That's for you, Captain Plum.
There's just $1,000 in those two
piles" There was tense earnestness
now in the old mans face and voice.

Jumped to his feet and held out his
hand. But the old man slipped from
his chair and darted swiftly out into
the blackness Of the adjoining room.
AS he came back Captain Plum could
hear his insane chuckling.

he gurgled "Eh, Captain Plum? Did
you ever take an oath?' He tossed
book on the table. 1t was the Bible.
Captain Plum understood. He
reached for the book and held it I'M

above his head, while a smile played
about his lips.
Il suppose you want to place me
under oath to deliver that package"
he said.

den hectic flush had gathered in his
death-like cheeks. He trembled. His
voice rose barely above a whisper.

A thrilling Inspiration shot into
Captain Plum's brain.
Hold" he cried. He lowered his
hand. With something that was al
most a snarl the old man sprang back,
his hands clenched. Il will take this

continued Captain Plum. 81 came to
