Mr. Taft Does Not Like ssNOs-
trumS of Reform

OUR President is on wheels again. He is
making speeches again. He is neglecting
his official duties again. He is using our
public money for campaign purposes again.
He is pleading the cause intrenched Privilege
again. He is showing his contempt for cam
paign pledges again. He is exposing his utter
and cynical want of sympathy for the over
loaded taxpayers again. In short, he is exhib-
itin& his unftness for office, again.
The day of such politicians as Taft is gone.
They die hard, but they must go. The lords
of Special Privilege may spread feasts for
their Tafts; and their Tafts may vehemently
declare their dsrelish for "Nostrums of
Reform" but still the tide advances.
Which do you prefer, moy lords Of Special
77Uatege-REDUCTToNs OF YOUR MON UIENTAL
PROFITS, OR CoNFIsCATIoN OF YOUR ESTATES?
The English lords of Special Privilege hard
ened their hearts against the cry Of oppressed
humanity; and now Parliament IS c071fscoting
their property, WITH INHERITANCE TAXES,
INCOME TAXES PENSIONS FOR OLD AGE, PENSIONS
FOR THE UNEMPLOYED, AND PENSIONS FOR
PAUPERs.
Have the Tafts no eyes to see? Have the
Tafts no ears to hear?
Has maad7oes taken entire possession Of oar
Lords Of Special PriUizege? Do the Garys,
and tricks, and Morgans, and Baers, and Car
negieS and Hayemeyers mever think of what
is happening in England? or in France? or
Germany?
DO they daoeU IN q FOOLS Paradise, WITH
NO THOUGHT OF DAY WHEN OPPRESSED
HUMANITY SHALL HAVE BEEN 1IADDENED
BEYOND ENDURANCE?

Alabama, and was sentenced to 60 days. hard
labor for it, is shaving out his sentence, IN q

The boy did not commit foIonies, as Million

Ice Trust murders, as Morse did.
But the bov had no money to buy lawyers,
editors and doctors with, as Morse had: and
SO the bog is at hard labor, at the coal mine.

where reference is made to the great Cathedral

This misprint escaped the proofreader Mr.
Watson discovered it, as soon as the first Of

he could do was to have an "Errata" slip put
IN. But it was misprint, really, and not an
authors error, at all.
This notice is given to forestall criticism

PATRIOTIC DEAD


Honor due was paid the ma
tons patriotic dead in this city
this afternoon. At . o'clock the
Grand Forks Military band
marched to Kittson venue and
Third street. heading the parade
which formed at that place.
There was evidence in the pro-
cession of the fact that the once
great army of veterans is fast
dwindling to a small band Of
hoary headed men.
The number of veterans was not
to exceed twenty-five or thirty
who followed the band. preceded
by the national colors.
Prominent among the boys who
Wore the blue was Comrade j. r.
Parsons, dressed in confederate
gray. the color which he wore a
half a century ago wher uphold
ing the cause which he felt was in
the right. His presence on this
occasion was evidence of the fact
that we r now a united country
and that the blood lines of fifty
years ago have been obliterated.
Following the members Of the
G. A. r. in the parade this after
noon were the Sons of Veterans,
Boy Scouts and citizens. The
column moved up Third street,
thence to Fifth and down to the
Presbyterian church where an APP
propriate program was carried
out.
The annual Memorial day serv-
ices Of the knights of Pythias
We're held in K. P. hall this morn

HANNA TALKS ABOUT
CONGRESSIONAL
WORK
Things He Has Done for
North Dakota While
in Congress.

Congressman l.. B. Hanna. who is a
republican candidate for the nominal
ton for governor at the coming pri-
maries. was in the city today on his
way to Lakota where he delivered the
Memorial day address.
The congressman is smiling. and
while he had but little to say on his
ming in the contest. He talked en-
t~ertainingly Of his work in congress.
and discussed a number of the inn
portant measures he had succeeded
in getting through that body. Many
of those relate to public lands mat
tiers and are especially beneficial to
the honlesteaders of the western por-
ton of the state. Among them are
the leave of absence law and the law
allowing homesteads as the basis of
credit SO that they need no. pay all
their available cash to the govern
ment for communication. when the
government does not need the money
and the settler does to help him get
his crops planted and to tide him
over the pinch of a short crop before
his land is thoroughly under Guilt
walton. Still another is the securing
of an extension Of the time Of pay
ment under the Williston irrigation
project so hat those farmers can
make money out of their land and in
stead having to surrender their
rights.
During his services in the national
house Mr.. Hanna has handled more
than 1900 land claims for North Da-
kota claimants and has been success
full in securing action favorable to
the claimant in more than $500 of
these.
Mr.. Hanna has been a successful
farmer, banker and business man and
has had ten years experience in the
state legislature before he entered
upon his congressional duties.
Il hope. If elected" he said. 'to
unite the republican party in this
state and to give all the people an
administration that will be a credit
to myself and an honor to the state
Of which l have been a resident for
more than thirty wears"
