A GOOD SUGGESTION

The Star quite approves the fol-
lowing from the Jacksonville Me-
tropolis:
Among the good things done by
the last legislature was to make the
crime of wife and child desertion a
felony instead Of misdemeanor
thereby making it possible for the
courts to send a deserter to the tur-
Ipentine camps for a period somewhat
commensurate with the despicabIe
character of his offense.
While these wretches serve in
camps, though, their helpless charges
are without support, and therefore
the enforcement of the law gives
them little or no relief. The state,
on the other hand, receives a con-
siderable sum monthly for the lease
of the deserter to the naval stores
operators.
Why not make the law really eff
fective and give to the wife and chill
dren Of the convicted deserter all or
a part of the money paid for his SER
vices, thereby making the vagabond
suffer for his heartlessness and al
the same time provide for those to
whom his life should be given, if
necessary?
Will another legislative session
pass without this defect in the de-
sertion law being remedied?

REAL WRECKERS OF RAILROADS

The following from the New York
World is a scathing arraignment of
the men who in order to obtain mon
ey TO manipulate the stock market
are willing to expose their fellow
citizens to death or lifelong injury:
No Rockefeller is ever killed in
any OF the wrecks on the New Hav-
en- Railroad
No Morgan is ever killed.
No director is ever killed.
None of the bankers who have
bled the system white is ever killed.
The New Ravens victims are
scrupulously selected from the mill
ions who are obliged to depend upon
that railroad for transportation.
The story of the New Haven wreck
is substantially the story of the other
wrecks that have drenched the
right-of-way in blood during the last
two years. The differences of detail
are unimportant.
The central fact is that here is
best managed and the most profita-
BILE in the country. it runs practi-
cally through a continuous city from
New York to Boston. When the
Rockefeller Morgan interests gained
control its stock had been quoted as
high as 225A, and there were no
reasonable limits to the possibilities
of its legitimate development. Under
these Wall street banking methods
she stock has fallen to 9OA, and the
systems record of successive disas-
tiers is without a parallel in the his
tory of American railroad manage
ment.
The bankers who loaded the COM
pany down with more than $780,

build up a monopoly for their fur

DOES BUSINESS
in SANE PLACE
FOR 40 YEARS

Bismarck. N. D.. Aug. Is. - To
erect a business house. on a bare town
site, carry on business for over forty
years successfully in that building
and see the town grow into city,
is an experience winch few men in
this country seldom have, but SUCH
is the case with John Yegen, who
conducts the grocery on Main street.
next door to the towering Mckenzie
hotel. But the Whirligig of time
brings changes in all things, and this
long experience of Mr.. Yegen Is to
come to close in a few months.
He has sold the lot and the store
building to e. c. Patterson and
agreed to give possession Dec. /.
That will close the little grocery
Mf:re many OF our citizens have
shopped all their lives, and in all
proba bility this old landmark Of the
early day trading will disappear. Mr..
Patterson owns half block on Main
street and about three-quarters on
Fifth street, and, 1t Is safe guess
that he will not allow this lot to lie
idle long before he will make i'm
provements in keeping with his other
property In that block
1T was just forty years ago the first
day of last April that Mr. Yegen
erected the building which now occu-
pies the lot. 1t did a very extensive
business in the early day, and when
all the stores in town went together
in shipping in a car load of bacon, a
carload Of canned goods or anything
else Mr.. Yegen was receiving the

marck was the center of all fciyiliza :

was those days which made Bismarck
and its pioneers famous throughout
the middle northwest. 4
1t has not been learned whether
Mr.. Yegen will continue In business
In this city or whether he will re-
tire. However, he has many friends,
who will hope he continues his resi-
dence here. and that he may live long

PROMINENT SOCIALIST SAYS !. w.
w. BELIEVE IN FORCE, SAB
ROTAGE AND STRIKES.

Jamestown Capital: III. F. Bowen,
jr., one Of the prominent socialists of
the state, spent the day in the city and
was interviewed by The Daily Capital
in. regard to the recent labor disturb
ances in the state in which the |. w.
w. and socialists were participants,
according to press reports.
Mr.. Bowen was not in Minot at the
time of the labor troubles there but is
well acquainted with the situation
there and views it from the socialist
Stand dpoint and strongly against the
members of the I. w. w. He says, in
speaking of the two organizations:
1.-The object of the T. w. w. and So
cfalist organizations is identical. Any
i. w. w. man or socialist, If asked
what he wants, will reply re- organ
ization of industry on a cooperative
basis SO that each worker will receive
the full social value of his labor. There
is, however, a vital difference between
the two organizations. This difference
lies in the tactics advocated. The I.
w. w. advocates an organization of
workers on the Industrial field with a
view of forcing the program by strikes,
sabotage and force, while the social
lists advocate a peaceable political rev.
olution al the ballot box. The socialist
constitution provides that any man
who advocates crime, violence or sab
botage' shall be expelled from the so-
cialiSt movement
1t is understood that the socialist
paper in Mfnot, The Iconoclast has
been the source Of much opposition
and trouble in Minot, due to Its rabid
utterances. Mr. LeSueur is said to own
the paper which has been edited by ].
M Near. 1t Is stated that Mr.. Near
has resigned his position and accom-
panying, 1t with the remark that while
he is a socialist and a good one, he Is
no anarchist. His associates
upon the paper were Jailed for encour-
aging the I. w. w. LeSueur lis said to
have written something for his paper
while in Jail where he refused to give
bonds for his appearance in court for.

Minot.
When eighty two members OF the I.
W W. were jailed 1t Is said a close
search of their persons revealed a total
sum Of $1.29 1t is reported that Edi-
tor Near was instrumental in getting
Jack Law. the I. w. w. organizer, to
Minot to organize the farm hands
against the farmers.
