GRONNA Makes STATEMENT
Says Clause in Prohibition Law is In
valuable to the State of North
Dakota.

In the current issue of Tho Union
Signal" published in Chicago, is con-
tanned the following interesting state
ment by l.. b. Hanna of North Dakota
on the prohibition question:
North Dakota has had constitu-
tional prohibition since statehood.
and year by year the law has been
better II better enforced all ovcr the
state. There is no question as to its
beneficial effect. and neither is there
n question. in my mind, that tenn
perance is making a gigantic stride
forward all over the nation.
"Many factors arc contributing tn
the financial as we'll as to the moral
side of the question. Railroad COM
panles. insurance companies. bankers.
men i'm business generally, arc insist
ing that their employees and their bust
hess associates shall be temperate.
II never expect to see license in
North Dakota. but I do believe that
as the years go by, prohibition will
become and that the major
ity in favor will increase each and
every ear.
"By far the largest number of our
farmers are in favor of prohibition. as
the fact that liquor is kept out of tho
state has a good. moral effect upon
the man employed by our farmers.
May the sentiment for temperance
continue to increase in North Dakota

Kindling Proved Good Vehicle for Hcl
Versatile Dramatic Work.

Versatile Dramatic Work.
"Kindling." Charles KenYon's play
of tenement life. with Margaret IL
lington in the leading role, was the
opening attraction of the new The
atrical season at the Metropolitan
theatcr last night.
Margaret lllington's portrayal of
Maggie Schultze, wife of a stevedore,
is the greatest contribution she has
made to the American stage. 1t even
surpasses the role she had in Bern
STEMS famous play, '"Thc Thief" for
it is more natural and gives her
greater opportunities to show her YER
satility as an actress.
Frank Campeau's Interpretation of
Steve Bates. the worthless son of the
Irish ~washwoman. and Frank Camps
subtle INSTALLATION of Rafferty,. the
plain clothes a were on Il par with
Miss Illington's acting. Frank Cam
eat will be remembered by local
audiences for his Trampas in Dustin
Farnum's production of 1.-THE Nir-
ginian." and in the character of Steve
he had part Very much like the
cowboy william. Camps real success
as the detective lay i'm the fact that
he didn't seem to be acting. and this
is what made the character so real.
Ida Lewis. as Bates. the Irish wash
woman. contributed an excellent bit
of character acting.
"Kindling'' is undoubtedly the best
study of New York tenement life seen
In the past few years. The charac-
tiers are all We'll drawn and not too
strongly contrasted. The dialogue is
natural. and the play possesses a sar-
donic humor that makes it the moro
interesting. 1t is a rare piece of dra-
matte literature, but as long as its
author lives theater goers can look
forward to moro such contributions.

REDUCTION OF PRICE
WAS A DARING MOVE

Five years ago the director of
amusemcnts who ~prnphcicd ;tn era
of popular prices such rs We are now
having in the theatrical world would
have been rated as being nothing
short of Il lunatic. 1'ut strange
things happen rs the wheel of time
turns, SO that today We lind that tho
people are demanding more for their
money than ever before in the history
of the world, and pr"prirtors of at
fractions seeking to meet that de-
mand. Perhaps. the one exception to
this has been tho circus. and barring
one instance. all the old time shows
still adhere to the prices which pre-
vailed two ecade ago.
The management of the Sells FlotO
circus, however. for the past three
easons. has ~inaugurated a now pot
icy, no doubt believing tina in SO do
ing they could obtain and hold the
greater portion of public patronage.
When the simple statement is made
that they have cut tho regular price
which from the time imnl"morial has
been the rule of The circus in half.
few people stop To consider what this
means in the regular totalinS of The
seasons receipts. But coming right
down to figures, ii shows Il primary
discrepancy o1 dl!fltSt Tl''.''' WHEN
compared with the sum total of the
season at the old prices.
Considering tho fact that it cost
more than $4,000 a day to operate
Il big amusement enterprise of this
kind one can get some idea of the risk
involved whom the management of
the circus decided to cut the pric"
of admission of - cents. All their
rivals in the circus business express
ed the opinion that such n feat of
financial iugglcry could not he sue
ceSsfully carried out, hut TIL" last
three years have proved that these
people buildcd very wisely. and that
from an intensely business standpoint
it was possibly the wisest move that
could have been made. The records
show that the attendance has been
more than doubled INC it is possible
to give moro now at the cut price
and to enlarge the performance in
every way than il was under the old
system.
This season tn" % cents tariff will
be enforced everywhere the Sells
I'loto circus appears. Til" admission
price admits patrons to the big show
in it's entirety and there are seats for
5000 purchasers of these tickets.
The managemcrt followed With the
statement that there is absolutely no
deviation from this rule. They carry
no So-called accommodation wagon
a greater sum is charged.
The regular ticket wagon will bc
opened mt . o'al"Ck on the morning
of every performance. General ad-
mission tickets purchased at any time
will he honorcd either at the matinee
or evening performance.

GOVERNOR BURKE IS
CERTAIN WILSON
WILL WIN
Roosevelt's Candidacy Will
Split Republicans and
Make it Sure.

st. Paul Dispatch: Enthusiastic
ovcr the prospect of clecting Wood
row Wilson president. Governor John
Burke of North Dakota arrived i'm the
city this morning and made a "bec-
line" for the office of Fred r. Lynch,
local democratic national committees
man. with hon he took luncheon
this noon at the Minnesota club.
According to Governor Burke. the
entry of Colonel Roosevelt into the
presidential fight as a candidate, has
cinched the matter for Governor Will
son.
I'VE could have won without Roos-
evelt," he said. but I see no reason
why any progressive democrat should
vote for anyone but Wilson. and with
the republican vote split. it ought to
be a walkaway for us"
He thinks also that many repub-
licans will vote for Wilson because
the LaFollette supporters feel Roose-
Welt defeated their favorite. When
asked whether his mission in st. Paul
was to seek campaign contributions
for Governor Wilson, the North Da-
kota governor evaded the question.
"Have o arranged for a meeting
with Dick OConnor?" Governor
Burke was asked.
Who is he?" asked the governor.
The governor was informed that
O'Connor cut some ice" in local
democratic circles.
ooh, you'll have to ask Mr.. Lynch
about that he replied.

SCORES MEN
IN BISMARCK
CASE
Packard and Opdyke Face
Judge on Charge Of
Criminal Libel.

George Bangs of Grand Forks is
prosecuting attorney in the case of
the state VS.. l.. Il. Opdykc and T.. r.
Packard, being tried in Bismarck to-
day. h defendants are charged
with criminal libel, the complaining
witness being L. G.. Patterson.
Their preliminary hearing COM
menced yesterday afternoon before
Judge Olson and County Auditor
Flaharty was on the stand the bigger
part of the day e~ndeavoring to con-
vince the court hat Patterson was
overcharging the county for the time
served.
Bangs bitterly assaulted the defend
ants stating that in the article that
was published they charged Patter-
son with graft but in the evidence
they We're producing they We're show
ing nothing only trying to convince
the court that Patterson was not cor
rect in making out his warrants. At
torney Bangs stated that he wanted
the defendants to bring out every
possible bit of evidence that they
could scratch up and then when they
VI re through he wanted them to keep
still. The case will undoubtedly be
a long drawn u one and will prob
ably last for Severa days.
