that will eventually stamp out the
disease.

DR.. BEAUDOUX
BLACKMAILED

The st. Paul Dispatch last evening
had the following concerning DR..
Henry A. Beaudoux, a former well
known Fargo specialist:
After having been haunted and
bounded by a blackmailer for nearly
two years, during which he came near
to a mental collapse and his wife's
plot that has hung above DR.. Henry
A. BeaudouS, 576. Lincoln avenue, was
barred last Saturday by the confession
Of a woman said to have been made
to Detective Captain Joseph Fielding
of the city police department.
The news leaked out today through
friends of the doctor, despite the ef-
forts of the physician, his intimates
and the police heads, to keep the mat
ter from the public. ....., ....a.

The elimination of the mysterious
persecution was In the Doctors ONCE,

Miss Ethel A. Hyde, 593 Laurel ave-
nue., was bound and gagged and the
physicians office ransacked. The
blackmailers were apparently not aft

cash left in the safe, but they were
evidently in search of the letters they
had mailed to the doctor. These they
failed TO get.
According to the story told by the
girl, woman entered the Office We'd

Beaudoux had left for his home. She

running in from the hallway, and to-

They also placed sponge in her
mouth. she said, and after bidding her
to keep quiet, hurriedly ransacked the
Office. They left when they failed to
find the correspondence. The girl sue

mouth and then kicked the telephone
off the desk into her lap. She called
the residence OF DR.. Beaudoux and told
him Of her plight. The doctor hurried
downtown in his machine and went
to the ONCE with Edward N. Hilger,
$50 East Sixth street, an employe in
the Lowry building.
There they found everything turned
topsy- -turvy. Even the physician's in

The intruders had opened the safe
easily because Miss Hyde had not yet

BERLAMONT MAN
USES SHOT GUN
A Dispute Over Crop of
Hay Leads to Serious
Trouble

Some trouble occurred in Berlamont a
few days ago that might have resulted
very seriously, over the trivial matter of
Misunderstanding regarding a crop of
hay b. +. Bursett rented a piece Of
land of man by the name Of Hoffman
who resides in Oklahoma. The land
was eventually sold to John Howard.
There was no contract between the
parties save a verbal one but Mr..
Burgett claimed half the hay and pro.
ceeded to haul some of it away and this
circumstance is what created the dis
turbance. They had rather a heated
argument and at last Howard went into
his home which was nearby and procur-
ed a shot gun and fired at Burgett
which resulted in Burgett carrying 20
shot in his anatomy as a souvenir OF the
occasion.
William Lake, justice of the peace,
notified the sheriff's office and Sheriff
Sowle and Mr.. Coin reported. This
happened Saturday The case will
have hearing next Tuesday at VIM.
Lakes.
An injunction was served on Mr..
Howard and also the man hired by him
to harvest the crop of hay, to retain
them from cutting it, Mr.. Burgett to
harvest the crop without interference.

THE Grand Rapids Herald is
authority for the statement that
Supreme Court Justice Hughes
of New York could have had the
presidential nomination at Chi
cago last week, for the asking,
but that he declined to allow his
name to be used in this connec-
ton. He declared that if a
member of the supreme court of
the United States were to step
into active politics and accept
nomination for high place that
act might at some future time
offer an incentive to some less
scrupulous justice to render
judicial opinions in the highest
court in the land for the sole
purp o S e-not of satisfying
justice-but of attracting popu-
lar support and admiration
which might make him political
ly available and call him to high
place.

JOHN w. BLODGETT Of Grand
Rapids has retired as member
of the republican national com
mittee from Michigan and is
succeeded by G. b. Warren of
Detroit. Mr.. Blodgett has held
this position for a number of
years and to say that he has
fulfilled the duties of the Office
admirably to himself and most
acceptably to others, but voices
the sentiment of not only those
who are high in the councils of
the party in the state, but also
the great number of others who
have come in contact with this
genial gentleman during his
incumbercy. 1t is indeed a
circumstance worth recording
when one finds a man possessing
those qualities of party leader
ship and the magnetism which
draws to him the leaders of a
great political party, to be able
to point to him as one who did
his work without the hope of
political preferment and with no
expectancy of reward except
that his fellow men might say
"Well done, good and faithful
servant" Such a man was
John w. Blodgett, who has so
freely given of his time and
money to advance the best inter
est of the republican party in
Michigan, and who will long be
remembered as a great leader
among other leaders.

Is It Good Business Judgment?


Putting aside the question of
right or wrong-and all preju.
dice against methods adopted by
those in control at the republican
national convention at Chicago,
the action of a minority of those
present in not submitting grace
fully to the will of the majority,
is greatly to be deplored. First
and foremost, it's not good
politics; it savOrs too much of
boys play, and has a tendency
to antagonize rather than other
wise that great mass of voters
who, while they require and
expect absolute fairness in pc
litical gatherings are neverthe-
less always willing to submit to
the rule of the majority and are
ready to fight the battle for
better conditions within their
own ranks rather than assist in
the disintegration of their party.
For after all it is the party
that is supreme and not the man.
The man would be nothing in
himself, except as an exponent
of the great principles en-
bodied in the platform of the
party. AS an individual he may
be entitled to the highest rank,
but he MIST of necessity give
wav to the demands of the party
and submit gracefully to the will
of the majority, That's good
republican doctrine and one of
the tenets absolutely necessary
to preserve the integrity of the
party.
1t has been said that a house
divided against itself can rot
stand. This must certainly be
true when applied to a great
political party. That certain
set of men angered for the
moment at what appears to be
high handed methods, should
withdraw their utilization instead
of attempting to correct what
they consider an evil within their
own party lines would naturally
tend to disrupt not only their
old party, but the foundation OF
the new one would not be strong
enough on which to build with
any hope for the future.
Progressiveness seems to be
the keynote of the new organiza
ton. Well, to succeed, one must
needs progress-political parties
also, as we'll as individuals. But
let us look at the record of the
republican party since its orga
nization. We will find that It's
history has been one long con
tinued era of progression, thai
the prosperity which has excited
the envy of the rest of the WORLD
has been due to that very pro
gressiveness of the republican
party, and that to leave it with
the intention of wrecking it j:
indeed sorrowful spectacle ans

to the millions of voters who
still love the grand old party for
what it has done and who still
have confidence in it for what it
will do in the future, and who
sincerely believe in its principles
and believe also that party diff
ferences should be adjusted
within party lines.

suffice to show it's temper:
SONG OF BATTLE.
Let US have peace, and thy blessing,
Lord OF the wind and the raio,
When we shall cease from expressing,
From all injustice refrain;
When we hate falsehood and spurn it
When we are men among men.
Let Us have peace when we earn IL
Never an hour until then.
