WOmen'S Bar q Failure

January 5, the Vanderbilt hotel, New York,
opened up an elaborate wel-stocked bar for women.
It auspciousy located as possible, being in an
annex to the ladies' drawing from the gaze
Of the masculine eyes, and presided over by an English
butler But wthal this did not patronze it, and
after weeks experiment. the bar was closed OF
course it would fail The good women of our land even
in beersodden New York City, not drinkers In the
two extreme circles of society, the women may to
certain extent indulge in ntoxicants; but the great,
overwhelming of women from the substantial
classes total abstainers The failure of this ven
ture, the first of its kind in New York and probably
the last, we'll illustrates the utter inability OF the
liquor interests to properly gauge public opinion on
the liquor business. No less authority on liquor
questions than Emil Nathan in a speech before
liquor dealers convention at Cincinnati reported
in the daily press said "Whsky has no friend in

AS to the Bartender

A Cincinnati publication feels called upon to say
few words for bartenders 1t asserts the bartender
usually chosen for his coolness ability peace
maker his intelligence and his general appearance
We never thought of the average bartender as being
noted for his intelligence his personal appearances.
The bartender would hardly take the blue ribbon in
either class.
We have nothing derogatory to say of the bar
tender. He is selling his time to mighty bad bus
mess and cannot understand how of any
worthy ambitions desire to make humanity better
will become bartender. 1t is not an honorable bust
and all the veneerng in the world will not make
it At that, have respect for the bar
tender than for his employer who invests his money in
traffic which is prolific of misery and crime
and expects to make his profit from the frates and
vices of mankind

DrunRdrd-Mdkin9 Business

The saloonists resort to many ruses to deceive the
people and up the real character Of their busi
ness" But when these lying hypocrcies and false
gamor stripped off and the saloon business stands
out in its naked reality it is to be nothing other
than drunkard making business. All experience
shows that very large per cent Of those who begin
tippng ends in drunkenness The saloon extinguishes
hope quenches noble ambitions, wastes energy,
rupts morals and blights life 1t is converting
youth, hope and best national asset into buns,
libertnes, social parasites criminals and drunkards
Of course, this manufacturer will not admit it but
that's his business, nevertheless "a most damnable
business.

The Judas Kiss

Judas betrayed his Master with kiss, and for
thirty pieces of silver sold to Chrst's enemies.
Benedict Arnold long trusted patriot and in many
ways brave soldier, because of hurt PRIDE financial
consideration and the promise of preerment, turned
traitor to the colonies for whose independence he had
been fighting. These men, since their times have
been held up to the and contempt of loyal pari-
otto and = have worn the brand of the
traitor and the unfathul, and their have been
the synonyms of all that is undesirable in character
But Judas and Arnold are dead and their bodies
have moudered into dust Their causes with the
Great Judge of all In this great century and in
this enlightened country have these any relatives
and followers, and imitators Are there those who,
for thirty pieces of silver will sell those who

false to the best interests of the nation and it's people
The great liquor business is wholly evil in it's
nature. Pretending to be good, it u.s. instead full of
corruption and dead mems bones And the best interests
of the people of this republic the happiness and welfare
of the children, the manliness othemen and thewoman
illness of the women have been sold to this great
enemy for thirty pieces of silver. Whenever and
wherever in this land in these latter days have
voted because of the license revenue, to permit
looms breweries and dist1eres to operate these

the footsteps Of the betrayer
Those candidates for office who have stultifed
their conscences, who have disregarded the
wishes of the better citizenship among their constltu
and who have sacrificed the best interests Of the
commonwealth to please the liquor interess-and all
this to gain hold political perferment-how much
better is their attitude toward those whose representa-
tves they than the attitude of Arnold toward
the struggling patriots of 70?

HAS LOCATED
Coal Company VIII aave Of.
fces IN City National
Bank Building

The Dakota Coal Products COM
pany has just closed negotiations in
which they will remove their general
offices from New Salem to Bismarck.
An Office room in the basement of
the City National hank, corner Main
and Fourth, has been rented and the
company took possession Immediately.
Z In addition to removing their gen.
eral offices to this city they have
leased ground on the right Of way
of the Northern Pacific on which
they intend to build coal sheds. The
work of constructing the coal sheds
will be commenced this week and
rushed to complet' n in order that
they might store coal here imme-
diately. Tn erailroad facilities and the
large amount of business done in this
city is the cause for the change.
The tipple at the mine in New
Salem is undergoing some extensive
repairs in order to give the company
better service. 1t is now being
equipped with full new set of
screens, enabling the company to put
the coal on the market in q first class
condition.
This firm is one Of the companies
that has applied to the city commits
sion for franchise for gas plant,
and the matter will probably be up
for consideration at the meeting held
tonight.

Arrived Early This Morning
To Help Start Bull Moose
Convention
Great Crowds Line The Streets
As Roosevelt 60eS 10
Headquarters
BY Associated Press.

oy ASSoCldteO TICOS. N
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug ,.5.-When
Colonel Roosevelt arrived in Chicago
at SAB this morning to be present
at the formal launching Of the Pro-
gressiye party, he was given an en-
thusiastic welcome, and went to the
headquarters in Congress motel. The
crowd cheered as the colonel stepped
from the train.
He was received by . delegation
Of Progressives headed by george W.
Perkins and Governor Hiram W.
johnson, of California.
The crowd massed in front of the
station waved their banGana hand
kerchiefs as the party entered auto
mobiles, and chorus OF cneers was
merged in the blare Of brass bands
when the trip across city began. The
strets along the route were lined with
crowds, and as the colonel swept
past, cheer after cheer was raised.
Delegations lormed in the process
sion and followed their chief to the
national headquarters. IN front of
the hotel another crowd was encoun-
tered and for q time the street was
blocked Roosevelt stood up in an
automobile and spoke briefly. The
path through the crowd having been
made, he hurried to the neadquar-
ters, and was soon in the thick ,ot
conferences with his aides.
Roosevelt's arrival on the scene as
sponsor for the new third party,
has been impatiently awaited by the
delegates who have been filtering In
to the city during the last week.
Plans for more important work have
been more or less tentative, awaiting
the final approval of the colonel. The
matter of the platform mas partlc-
ularly been left in allegiance, and in
view OF Roosevelt's statement on
leaving New York last night that the
convention must accept ht views in
full II he is to be the nominee, lead.
ers felt they had been wise in not
taking the matter up in any definite
shape.
Many OF the delegates are in favor
of emulating the example of the ma
tional Prohibition party in making
the platform the briefest sort of
document, containing the advanced
declaration of principles in tabloid
form, devoid of all rhetorical embel-
lishments. Ro0sevelt's announce
ment, however, may change all this,
for his confession of faith" which
he hays must be accepted in all es.

PRIZES AWARDED
ON MARKET DAY
Some Splendid Farm Products
Offered in Competition
For Awards

The fourth market day of the year
which was condu- led last Saturday
proved a much bigger success than
had been anticipated by those in
charge. The crowd was much larger
than was looked for and the buying
at the sale was lively. The results
of the day is more gratifying when
it is known fast that nearly all
present were farmers who had left
their fields to be present.
The large number of exhibits was
surprise to the officials. Although
not as many as there we're on for
mer market days, they were much
better. Mrs. August Anderson won
first prize for potatoes and beats
while Fred Sabot won the same hon
ors for cabbage and general display.
Only two more market days are
scheduled for this year, the next one
being held on Sept. 7th. The last
market day of the year which has
been scheduled for Oct 5 will in all
probability be postponed on account
of the agriculture exposition.

Was H0N0RED
At WILTON
Senator Washburn Was an
ImpeIling Factor IN De.
veIOpuleDt Of Slope

WILTON, N. ~, august 5.-West.
ern North DAKOTA, and especially the
Missouria slope. has been built up to
great extent through the influence
OF the late Senator w. d. Washburn.
Mr.. Washburn saw the possibilities
in the undeveloped state Of North Da.
kota Having purchased from the
Northern Pacific railway 125,000 acres
along the Missouri slope, he decided
to open the territory for settlement.
The only feasible way to accomplish
this task, according to the breadth of
vision which he possessed was to
build railroad through this unbroken
prairie.
In 1900 the Bismarck Washburn &
Great Falls railroad was built, Bis.
marck being the eastern terminal and
Great Falls to be the objective point
on the west. While the work OF con.
structing this road was under way,
Senator Washburn sold his interest
to the 500 railroad, which eventually
completed the line to Drake divis-
ion point on the main line.
Several toWnsites were plated, and
have developed into centers OF trade
for the rural population which soon
settled in the territory.
1t was found by heutenants OF Mr..
Washburn that vein OF Ignite coal,
superior in quality, underlaid the sur
face of part OF this country, and the
work of developing this industry was
started in 1900 under the supervision
of the senator himself, who spent
much time in Wilton where the first
mine was opened. A shaft sixty feet
deep was sunk and a vein of Ignite
ranging from ten to sixteen feet deep
was uncovered. Although the output
was small at first, the high grade Of
fuel mined was recognized and the
demand for native Ignite increased
Mr.. Washburn equipped his mine
with the latest and most improved ma
chinery with the result that the de-
mand soon surpassed the output. Year
by year the Washburn Coal company
kept pace with the growth of the state
until today the output reaches 1900
Ons daily in he winter season. As
president of the company, Senator
Washburn made frequent trips to the
seat Of this growing industry and
also directed affairs from his Office in
the Metropolitan Life buil0lng in Min
neapolis. His last visit to the mine
was in February, just before he left
for his European trip. At that time
he gave instructions to equip the plant
further for an increased output.

As a Result Of Differences
Creamery at DrisCOll

Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
DRISCOLL, Aug. 5.-No it wasn't
Teddy, Bobbie or Bill who hit our
little burg Saturday afternoon. 1t
was only meeting of the stockhold-
ers of the Driscoll Creamery COM
pany.
The progressive" (?) were there
with their usual brand of picks and
the good old stalwarts were there
with the stone fence 1t seems that
there has been some dissatisfaction
among the "progressives" because the
manager used the wholesome prod
uct of his own manufacture for his
family use.
AS a result of the meeting our town
is without a creamery. Hon. A. H.
De Croft made motion to close the
creamery until they could find but
ter maker whose family didn't eat
butter and enough voted aye to carry
the vote. NJ
The consequence is that most of
our real progressive farmers are
wandering the streets here today
with an expression on their faces
similar to the one Ted wore after the
steam roller hit him.
Driscoll has always been proud Of
our creamery and ice cream factory
and 1t is to be regretted that it is
now thing Of the past
