Opinion.


When Woodrow Wilson wrote his
History OF the American People he
was not a politician, and his opinions
we're at that time less likely to be
biased than at the present time, ana
every voter should consider the sig
nifcance OF his reference 10 the re-
publican party.
Let us quote from a History OF the
American reople regarding that era
of free trade 1893 to 1897. 1t is n
If tho most eloquent passages in all
history. Here it is:
"a great poverty and depression
had cc,me upon the western mining
regions and upon tho agricultural re-
gions of the west and south. Inc
prices had fallen. Men OF the poorer
sort were idle everywhere and filled
with a sort of despair. All OF the
larger cities and mining towns teem'
ed with unemployed working men
who were with the utmost difficulty
kept from starvation by the system,
attic efforts Of organized charity. NOT
until the very year 1897 when the re.
publican administration came in did
the crisis seem past"
Who wrote that? Why, Woodrow
Wilson wrote 1t in his History Of the
American People" He wrote it when
he was an historian and not thinking
Of ever being q candidate. lie wrote
it because 1t was the truth. Read it

they will do il they are given a chance.
Neche Chronotype: Louis B. Hanna,
now member Of congress, has long
been a dominant figure in North Dako-
Ia, and he has given loyal service to
the people at large as well as to his
neighbors and friends.
For more than twenty-five years
he has been a banker, and as the
years came and went he grew in fin
ancial strength and importance, but
the fact that his friendships grew
stronger as he attained a higher en-.
inence in the financial world. tells.
perhaps, best Of the qualities of h cart
and mind which characterized the
Pennsylvania boy who came into the
state more than thirty years ago as
q farmer, who was afterWard in The
lumber business and then became Tho
financial bulwark of his neighborhOOd.
It was at Page, in Cass county where
he first went into the banking bust.
ness, and the hearty welcome that ~
always accorded him there, the Other
evidences OF esteem that are shown
him at various times, prove that his
early ideals have been we'll lived up
to, and that he did his best for those
around him. ..
As president Of the First National
Eank of Fargo, that institution soon
began to feel tho strength of the man
at Its head. AS leader OF many com.
mercial and civic movements for the
benefit of his city and his state lie
threw much weight for development
and progress.
AS q legislator at Bismarck he did
his duty as he saw it. Always courte.
Gus, always broad minded, he dis.
charged his duty in a way that evok.
ed no criticism of those around him.
He was elected to congress by a
heavy vote and then reelected. He
looks YOU straight In the eye as he
talks to you. His personal and pc.
litical conduct have beten courage
Gus and straightforward. Ills hon.
esty of purpose is admitted by those
who oppose him, and his ability Is
widely recognized. His acquaintance
hover tine state is very wide, and his
friendships are many. He is a worthy
son Of the old Keystone state.-Ben.
