The addresses of President Shepard

eloquent in emphasizing the aims and
purposes Of the institution.

WILSON THE ENEMY OF LABOR

You know what the usual standard
Of the employee is in our day. 1t is
to give as little as he may for his
wages. Labor is standardized by the
trades union, and this Is the standard
TO which 1t is made to conform. No
one is suffered to do more than the
average workman can do. In some
trades and handicrafts no one Is suf-
fered to do more than the east skill
full Of his fellows can do within thu
hours allotted to days labor and
no one may work out Of hours at all
or volunteer anything beyond the minl
imum. | need not point out how
economically disastrous such a regu-
latUn Of labor is. 1t Is so unprofit-
able to the employer that in some
trades 1t will presently not be- worth
his while to attempt anything at all.
He had better stop altogether than
operate at an inevitable and invaris-
BILE loss. The labor Of America Is
rapidly becoming Improbable under
its present regulation by those who
have determined to reduce it to a
minimum. Our economic supremacy
may be lost because the country grows
more and more full Of unprofitable
servants. .'---FrOm Bdccd1durcute Ser

DIR. Shepard Planning Tor new
School Year


DR.. James e. Shepard, flushed with
the success OF his summer courses and
ministerial conference at the Nation
al Religious Training School, Is lay
Ing ambitious plans for the coming
year at his great Durham institution.
At the Summer School, DR.. Shepard
had galaxy of the country's most
brilliant lecturers, white and colored,
and the students left with the con-
Viction that 1t was good to have been
there. Teachers, preachers and stu
dents generally will do better work
during the coming year because Of the
thorough training they received at
Durham at the hands Of the eminent
scholars and philosophers DR.. Shep-
ard gathered around him throughout
the profitable six weeks term.
Announcement is made that the fail
and winter term of the school will
begin October 8, and DR.. Shepard says
the enrolment, already unprecedented
will tax the buildings to their utmost
capacity, and will emphasize tho
pressing need Of further enlargement.
Three new buildings have been erect
ed this summer, and plans have been
drawn for others, to keep pace with
the constant demand for accommoda-
tions. s'
Next Monday, Or. Shepard will be-
gin tour Of the New England
states, in the interest OF the Natiohsl
Religious Training School, covering
first the principal cities In Maine and
New Hampshire. Because Of the nee
essity for meeting these engagements
at once, the doctor win be compelled
to forego his visit to the National
Negro Business League at Chicago,
which he had hoped to be able to at
tend. Dr.. Shepard will stop over Ia
Washington Gu route northward.,

Issues Official Statement.
I'VE, the colored delegates to the
national Progressive convention, held
IN Chicago, in order to correct cer-
tain misleading statements sent out
by the. press to the country at large,
and to urge all American citizens, the
support Of the Progressive party, de-
sire to clear the situation" says the
statement
For the first time in history colored
c1tizens of the north and east have
been sitting as delegates in a great
national convention, a privilege here
totore enjoyed only by the colored
delegates from the south. This recog-
milton forever fixes his status as a
charter member of the Progressive
party-a new political party-which
knows no north, no south, no east. no
west, no race, no creed, no sex-but
only American citizenship as a party
requisite.
BY reason of irregularity and non
compliance with the call issued for
The state convention the state of
Florida in which were held two con-
Ventions--onc colofed and one white
was denied representation.
Points to Mississippi Case.
In Mississippi, where two conven-
tlons also were held, one a mixed con-
Vent1on and the other white, the mix
ed delegation was denied admission
and the white delegation was seated.
'.he mixed delegation admitting they
did not claim the legality of their
convention because they did not meet
in compliance with the authorized call.
The charge of lily w'hitsm against
the Progressive convention lis false.
Arkansas elected a mixed delegation
with five colored delegates four OF
whom attended the convention; Ten
nesEee seht one, Kentucky one, Mary
land two, and West Virginia two;
thus the charge Of lily whitism was
made for the specific purpose of en-
gendering political strength and en-
barrassment and with the hope of
alternating the colored vote.
I'VE heartily welcome the leader
ship of Theodore Roosevelt-a man of
courage, convictions, and unquestion-
ed integrity. We hail with the high
est admiration Gov. Johnson, the giant
OF the west, and we greet with loud
acclaim Senator Dixon, the magnetic
Incompatible political general, a tri-
umvirate which has done things and
will accomplish more"

LARGE AUDIENCE.

Edmund Vance Cooke Of Cleveland,

preciated his programme Of unusual
excellence. r-
Mr.. Cooke recites only his own
works and weaves them into a little
story form so that each selection just
seems to dovetail into the other. Among
his well known verses he read last
night were Otto and Auto, The Work
Child, Spread Out Each and All,
Every Man His Own Hero, Father,
Looking With the Level Eye. The
Worlds a Stage. A Vaudeville Song
and BY Request.
That Mr.. Cooke is clever and origi-
nal poorly expresses 1t, His enter
lament last night revealed his great
versatility and satisfied his audience.
He did not recite two of his best
known poems, The Moo Cow Moo or
The Young Man Wildly Waited, as
had been expected by a number of
his admirers here.

sound reasoning vas made by the

right.
Miss Crest stated that most Grim

and that political and social condi-

crime could be wiped out, not by se-
we're punishment, but by wiping out
the political and economical evils

AT H oRPHEUM.

The headline attraction at the
Orpheum for the last half of the week
is the Abbott Trio in a comedy oddly,
The Leading Lady. This act is a very
clever dramatic sketch Of scenes in a
theatrical managers Office, and is
quite interesting. Miss Fannie Alb
bolt is a tough girl and is the real
article. Her Characterization was ex-
c~eptionally good. Frances Abbott, as
Rose the leading lady. in her special
ties was above the average, while at
the point in the play where 1t re-
CURED dramatic ability, she display
ed fine talent.
Hamilton & Dean, in their rube
stunt were very good, and kept the
audience in roars OF, laughter. They
used some mechanical scenery and
the turn was decidedly worth witness
ing.
Brydon's Troupe of Eskimo dogs
are well trained animals and pleased
the audience by their dancing and by
the readiness in which they went
through their various stunts.
The Three Connors, tumblers and
acrobatic dancers did some phenom-
email stunts, in hand balancing, leap
ing and turning.
The novelty singing stunt of the
Two Reynolds received quite an ova-
ton. The gentleman and lady occu-
pied opposite boxes and sang their
song over a telephone wire. The song
was appropriate and they will have a
new stunt each evening.

good and Manager Webster is indeed
giving the people their moneys
worth in this weeks bill.

The Man on the Box, a three-act
comedy by Harold McGrath, dramatic
ed from the book Of the same name,
is undelined at the Fargo operahouse
for this evening. Will H. Donbin
plays the title role.
That the th~eatregoers of this city
are eagerly approaching the oppor-
tunity Of listening to the Fascinating
music of Oscar Strauss with a full
choir of wood and bass strings enough
to generously balance the vocal eff
forts of a great company is evident
from the figures already touched in
the sale of seats for The Chocolate
Soldier, to be heard at the Fargo OPP
erahouse tomorrow evening.
The opera is very close to the line
Of demarcation between true comic
opera and that Of grand opera quail
fications and needing great execItant
skill of dictatorship and unusual
numbers for the portrayal Of the I'M
usual score. The quaint humor Of
George Bernard Shaw's famous story
has given an opportunity for an I'M
usual range of theme development,
and as the music becomes the voice
Of drama when Alexius repudiates Ma
dina, so does it equally cause the fan
cy to dance to it in It's lighter moods,
in much the same way as De Meister-
Soldier has been so often likened.

DEAD BODY WAS
FOUND BY wife
MRS. GILBERT o. LEEN DIscov-
Erred BODY OF HUSBAND,
WHO WAS FROZEN TO
DEATH.

Grand Forks, N. D., March 1.-Gil-
bert O. Leen, aged as years, a farmer
living in Moraine township, was found
frozen to death on the prairie half a
mile from his home yesterday. Leen
had been visiting on Wednesday eve
ming with a n%eighbor, Otto Anderson.
living only a mile distant and late at
night started to walk home. 1t is be-
lieved that he lay down in a drunken
stupor when about half way home and
was found dead yesterday morning by
his wife, who started for the neigh
bors to learn why her husband had
not come home. When she had ira
versed about half the distance she
came upon the frozen body. Leen
leaves a wife and three children to
mourn his loss. He had been a resi-
dent of the county for about twenty
years.
Owing to the fact that there is no
phone connection with the locality,
only meagre facts regarding the trag-
edy are obtainable. The night was
by no means a severe one from the
standpoint Of cold weather and the
only explanation given is that Leen
was intoxicated to such an extent that
he was overcome before he reached
home.
