THAT SPORTING INSTINCT

South Dakota and miner in Old Mex.
leo, there is a German who loves to
play poker He comes in once q week
and plays the game like an artist. not
caring whether he wins or loses. bnt
for the sheer joy Of it.
"Two weeks ago two younp chan.
from the east sat in the game in which
the German was playing. They were
rank amateurs at it. They had mon.
ey and they bet literally. Each
time they hooked up with the German
they lost. At ten O'Clock the old man
could not see over bis chips. He had
won good many Hundred dollars.
ION the next deal he got a pat
king full. He passed and the amateur
next to him opened the pot. The 9th
er amateur raised. The German did
not raise back. He contented himself
with staying. Then these two new
players thought they would whipsaw
the German. They bet and bet and
bet.
1.-The German stayed each time, and
the two amateurs raised back and
forth until they had put about all the
money they had carried in the middle
Of the table.
F" How manys' asked the dealer.

LA TOILETTE ON ROOSEVELT

Senator La Follette's claim that
Roosevelt; does not represent the Pro-
gressive, wing of the Republican Par.
ty bcause he did not call himself
Progressive until, five months before
the National convention will hardly
convince anyone who wants to believe
in the Colonel.
One need 60 no further back than
Mr.. Taft's speech accepting the nom.
ination four years ago to find that
HThe revelations of breaches of trust
and Of the violation Of the antitrust
law by a number of corporations

ing,o' and that s.the man who formu

ment for practical reform was Theo.
dore Roosevelt"
This seems to establish President
Roosevelt's status as a progressive
statesman, even if he was not known
as q Progressive. Mr.. hft,s +descrip-
ton Of Roosevelt was accepted by all
Republicans as fitting. Senator La
Follette's autobiography, written later
on, shows that the Wisconsin reform.
e. was in conference frequently with
President Roosevelt on matters of
practical reform. He occasionally cri.
ticises the President, but nowhere
condemns him, nor gives any evidence
ofissn intent to refuse to cooperate
with him. 8 ''f .}.ff

PIGS Is PIGS.

The Inter-Ocean, the official outlet
for the sewage considered too filthy o,
too false to appear in the columns OF
its Democratic owner, The Journal, this
week, spews out its usual dose of
slush, half foolish and half vicious. II
has evidently run out of "dope" in
its fight against County Auditor Bice,
and proceeds to vent its spleen on the
city council, the Immediate cause of
complaint being thu Csc by the 10 of
the contract for he city printing for
the ensuing year,
Ordinarily The v cid is too busy
too pay much attention to the rawlings
Of the sheet round tie corner, and for
two reasons. First, the 10 is not
alwsys coherent, seldom truthful and
too often gets tangled up in the net
of its own argument. Second, nobody
pays much attention to what it pub
fishes, anyway.
But to come back to the subject of
the city printing: The city auditor
not long ago published in the then Of
fetal paper, the Inter-ocean, a call for
bids for doing the city printing for the
ensuing year. In good faith and in
accordance with the provisions of such
call, The World made a proposal to
DO all Of the publishing required to be
done by the city during the life of it's
contract at the uniform rate of three
cents per line. The Inter-Ocean fled
what its publishers thought was a bid
to do the city printing for the ensuing
year at "20 per cent less than had
been charged during the previous year
and to publish all ordinances free."
This as everybody knows, was no bid
at all. After considering both propos.
ais 'he city council did the only thing
it could do, which was to award the
contract to the Devils Lake World.
This is all there was to the whole
transaction. The World submitted a
legal bid. The Inter-Ocean did not.
The council awarded the printing to
The World because there was no other
course to pursue, and for the next year
at least this paper will be the official
paper of the city of Devils Lake, and
our citizens will get the maximum
amount Of publicity for the city's lie.
gal notices at very moderate cost.
OF course the separation Of the mouth
Of the 10 from the public teat was a
painful process Ito the 10y. Hence

A VICTORY FOR THE KNocKER,

Lug 4ued has SOtteu ABROAD, IN THIS
city that all the knockers and mar.
plots in the United States. are congre-
gated right here in Devils Lake, but
if we are to judge from the editorial
from the New York World, reproduced
below, there are few still left in the
state of Delaware. These peculiar ere,
atures, we suppose, are to be found in
all lands and in very climate. Devils
Lake has plenty of them, thank you
and they are about On par with those
described in the article which follows
"Even the philanthropist receives an
occasional rebuff when he seeks to give

pulses Some institutions, very few,
it must be confessed, decline to re.

the offer of a Carnegie Library is re.
recent instances Of generosity rebuffed
is that presented by people in little
Delaware. General IT, G. Dupont
sought to. be a great benefactor of
that commonwealth. He. purposed to
build e broad, up to date highway
across. the state as a gift to it. He
begdn.work on the road recently and
has spent considerable money, his in
tention being to construct a highway
that would cost several millions of
dollars. His undertaking had the ef-
feet Of powerfully stimulating the
good roads movement in adjacent
states, and they planned to make equ-
ally fine roads to connect with the .Du
Pont highway at the boundary line.
The project was well under way and
promised to- be great success, until
the marplots that are to be found in
every community began to make trou-
BILE. They affected to believe that
General DUPONT was going to make
some money out of his enterprise. No
very definite statements were made as
to the means by which the general was
to turn his great public road to his
own private pecuniary account, but
there were vague assertions that some
sort Of land scheme was behind the
gift to the state. The natural result
was a controversy in which a great
deal of spite and mean spirit was dis
played. The majority of the people
Of Delaware appear to have been de-
sirous that General Dupont should
carry out his undertaking and that the
state should profit accordingly. But
the mischief-makers carried the dav.
They kept the dispute at white heat
and made the situation so disagree.
able to the general that he has def.
nitely abandoned the project. Della.
ware loses a superb gift, and the good
roads movement in at least three
states receives a setback.
However, the "knockern has scored
a great victory. His brethren all nv.
er the land, who never fail to oppose
every forward movement, will take
new courage to continue a fight that
is so peculiarly congenial to them ),
