ALL MAKE RUNS
Williston Boys are in Hot Game at
Poplar, Mont.

w. w. McAllister, Joe Cutting and
Eugene Bruegger journeyed over to
Culbertson Sunday and assisted the
Culbertson boys to take the Poplar
bunch into camp to the tune of three
to two, at the latter town.
The game was hot one from start
to close and not until it was three
men out in the ninth was the doubt
removed. A spectacular double play
in the ninth kept Poplar from scoring
and made three men out. The three
runs of the Culbertson team were
made by the three Williston boys
McAllister making a home run.

Officers and members of the Grand
Lodge, l. o. o. F. of North Dakota

The Burgamaster Of every city is

duties not altogether pleasant, such
as saying that Mrs Mulligan should
keep her chickens out Of Ms. Finni-

are filled with the best of our common
wealth, and you honor the City Of OPP
portunity with your presence here.

ed by the unanimous voice of the peo-
pie to turn over the entire city to
you, bag and baggage, all of which
means that while you are here, Willis

Should you desire to turn the city
round, and face it some other way, or
should you desire to turn it upside
down or inside out, you will find the
turn table two blocks south and four
blocks west at the round house.
Should you desire to change the wea-

all arranged for your signals. Should
the atmosphere prove too dry for your
comfort, the irrigation project awaits
your commands. Should the color

artistic eye, we say to you to paint

it ought to be known, as the contem-
porary says in the following; 1--WE
trust Superintendent Barss is keeping
safely within the bounds OF truth, if he
feels called on to set forth the really
alarming social and moral conditions in
Vermont, as he finds them. Not that
we question his loyalty or his motive,
but the truth, fully presented, is doubt
less bad enough. 1t should be noted that
Superintendent Barss deals wholly with
the debit side of the ledger. He does
not present the situation in all its
phases. There is good, as well as evil,
everywhere, even in what are termed the
decadent rural communities. No one
desires to have the eye closed to the
evil, and it is well to arouse our people
to a full comprehension of what really
exists, but on the other hand such start
ling statements as those of Mr.. Barss,
presented markedly as they are by the
metropolitan press, without the relieving
effect of the other side, do great harm to
our state, and are unjust to it,

Death of D. ]. Foster.

Very sudden and unexpected came
news of the death of Hon. D. j. Foster,

that wears down in public life these
great stalwart physiques? A few years

seem to yield readily to some sudden
malady. There is room for sober ~

grown rapidly in public esteem from
the outset Of his Washington career,
which began, if might almost be said, Ak
tie result of an accident in politics. He
made the most OF every opportunity,
was prodigiously active and Industrious,
served his district splendidly. and even
took rank among the leaders of the

CURRENT COMMENT
TIE Monroe Doctrine In Asia.

That the Monroe doctrine continues
to be a liYely subject for consideration
by the diplomatic world is made evi-
dent by the position taken by the No
voc Nremya' of st. Petersburg in sug-
costing that a Monroe doctrine be now
proclaimed in Asia by the powers and
turned against American activity in
China and elsewhere. It holds, in short
that if the Monroe doctrine applies in
America its converse should be effective
in the old world.
Russia need have no fears that the
United States is seeking to enlarge its
territory in Asia. We favor the open
door in China because we wish opportu-
mites to broaden our foreign trade, but
We have not the slightest intention Of
seeking to enlarge our territorial respon-
sibilities in the East We have never
objected to the extension of European
trade in the new world and our own
Monroe doctrine does not interfere with
the commercial expansion of any foreign
power. Boston Globe.

The vital statistics of Barre for the
past two months show two births to
one death, which means that if this good
record is kept up more schoolhouses will
be needed. Waterbury is having like
experience, and every voter much prefers
to build schoolhouses to securing more
land for cemetery purposes. Waterbury
Record.
Waterbury has been giving evidence
for some time of becoming one of the
large towns of Vermont, and this cor
roborative evidence rather clinches the
belief. The nicely located, well-peopled
town to the west of Barre has been
making some long strides in recent years,
and the people of the community are
showing a progressive spirit. 1t is doing
a very large share toward making tins
section the banner region of Vermont N
industry. Waterbury is rather good
neighbor to- have, as the remainder of
Washington county appreciates.

As a result of the conference on good

making permanent roads of all the main

the construction last season of twelve
