dakota Dan" Issues
r Plea for Money

Boston Post: Dakota Dan Russell
yesterday sent out an appeal for help.
He declared that his long fight for
the inheritance has drained his finan-
ces and that he will be compelled to
give up the fight unless his friends
and sympathizers come to his assist
ance.
Fresno Dams statements concerning
his contract with Mr.. Cartwright were
yesterday corroborated by Atty. Geo.
w. Cartwright of Fresno, Cal. Mr..
Cartwright sent word to Boston yes
terday saying: "Daniel Blake Rus
sells published statement concerning
my contract with him is practically
correct. I have received $4,000 instead
of $4,000. Part of this, however, was
paid to my associate counsel in Bos-
ton.
Dan was not broke; neither was
he a hobo. He was a working man
with but few dollars, and I took his
case on a contingent fee, entering the
usual form of contract employed by
California attorneys in taking contin-
gent cases.
Anyone who knows Fresno Dan
and William G.. Russell knows that it
is not in them to act the part of i'm
posters and deceivers."
Dakota Dan in his appeal for aid
says:
''Many of my friends and sympa-
! thizers have from time to time as
sured me that they stood ready to
| render me every possible assistance in
| prosecuting my fight for my share of
my fathers estate. Though have felt
very grateful to them for their kind
proffers of aid have been able up to
this time to press my claims without
outside help.
But my long battle for recognition
has about drained my resources. Ex-
penses of one kind and another-par-
ticularly lawyers fees-have reduced
the sums of money I brought with me
from the west, so that I am now left
almost without funds with which to
continue the fight.
"'To those friends who have so kind
ly proffered assistance, now appeal.
Without their aid shall be forced to
give up my long battle. I shall accept
any contributions which my friends
or sympathizers may wish to send me
with grateful thanks. Daniel Blake

farm Boys interested
In Alfalfa GROWING
BOYS INTERESTED IN ADDRESS
BY o. D. CENTER YESTERDAY
TALK ON DAiRYING.

Fargo, N. D., July 25.-''If the boys
campment the Better Farming AS
ISOLATION at the state fair continue to
be as much interested in the alfalfa
crop as they apparently were in the
discussion of the subject yesterday,
$4,000 acres of North Dakota land will
be given over to this crop next year
instead of about 5000 acres this year"
said o. D. Center of the Better Farm
ing Association, who talked to the
delegates. "The boys have taken
more interest in Alfalfa raising than
any other subject and they are quite
we'll posted, as the various suestions
asked indicated.
One solid hour was given over to
the study of alfalfa today. The boys
asked suestions regarding the proper
type of soil, preparation Of the land,
and how to handle for hay and seed
and numerous other questions that
enter the mind of the youthful agri-
culturist. The alfalfa class was fol-
lowed by study of dairying, conduct
ed by Professor Martin of the Agri-
cultural college. Mr.. Martin urged
the boys to select the COW that shows
a good constitution, for the dairy ami
NAL, and not the ''pimp." He sugges-
ted the long bodied cow, with a large
feeding capacity and prominently
veined udder and admonished the
boys to select the dairy type regard
less of the breed. Representative Of
four prominent dairy breeds were tax
en- from the exhibition stalls and used
as illustrative material for the bene-
fit of the class. .... ,
The program Of the farm boys en-
campment was concluded with an ad-
dress by Governor John Burke, who
welcomed the delegates and advised
them to stay by the farm.

ment also the exploitation of crime in
the newspapers and sensational liter
allure. The age of the criminals:
For boys it is greatest between 10

good because they are anticipating
Women's Suffrage. Every city is more
or less divided alike. in the heart of
the city is the business district, just
outside and always next door to. the
business district are the haunts Of
vice. Next to them, the saloons, then
tibet poverty stricken classes. There
are many places that masquerade as
hotels and boarding places which are
really LAo Ad1l way uousSS W Iue leu
light districts.
The young person rrom the country
looks at the upper world of the city
which is bright, beautiful and fair,
but there is another world just as dis
tinct and the people living regard it
so, that is the lower underworld; in
that mixed stream is the drift wood
of humanity. There are $4,000 pro-
fessional pickpocke,s who, when off
duty, go straight to the disorderly
saloon, where all other disreputable
characters also find their rendezvous
The proprietor is oHen with them in
their criminal undertakings. 1t is the
capper's duty to watch the stranger
who flashes his roll, and if possible
they never let him get out until he
wakes up penniless in the back street.
But many get into trouble because
they have been going into places and
doing things they ought not. If you
knew man who returns from the city
reporting how terrible a place it is,
investigate him.
Statistics prove that if man had not
been married, you would all be in the
penitentiary, but the women's side is
entirely different. Every woman in
creases her chance OF criminality. "A
working girl gets from Sc to $40 a
week-she is often offered more to sit
at table and attract customers.
This often means the destruction. The
saloon keeper is good for fifty votes

these poor sinful lives and transform
them into lives of Service, lives of

POPULAR ISSUES
IN PERIL-BOURNE
Senator Appeals to People to
Prevent EmaSCuIating Initia-
tive and Referendum.

WASHINGTON. Sept 2.-Senator
Jonathan Bourne, Jr, president Of the
National Progressive league today is
sued an appeal to popular government
advocates to guard against the emas
culatiOn OF the initiative and referen-
DUN. He said
Three genera expedients are re-
sorted to to defeat the initiative and
eferendum-first, by making the re-
as practically to prevent the filing of
petitions for either the initiative or ref
endum; second, by exempting from the
referendum all measures that bear the
mere declaration Of the legislature that
an emergency exists; third. by requir-
ing that measures submitted to the
vote of the people under the initiative
shall not become effective until ratified
by an Affirmative vote of all the votes
cast a the election.
Experience has demonstrated that
the initiative and referendum powers
are practically nullfied if the number
of required signers to petitions be ma
the initiative or five per cent for the
referendum. Experience also shows
that some of the most meritorious
measures that have been adopted under
the initiative would have failed of
adoption If the, constitution had re-
quired an affirmative majority Of all the
votes cast at the election. Each meas
ure should stand or fall according to
the majority of votes cast thereon
II nthe campaign which is now pro-
ceeding in many states for the election
OF state legislators, who will be called
upon to vote for the submission of mi
tiative and referendum amendments to
friends of popular government should
not be deceived, but should insist on
the submission of such amendments in
practical form"
