A TELLING EPIGRAM.

DIR. Charles NJ. Sheldon. author of "In
His Steps" has developed remarkable
capacity for epigram, and epigram is,
after all, only a short cut to truth.
In defining Christianity, DR. Sheldon said
the other day. "A Christian is a man who
loves people he doesn't like" This is not
only fine definition but IT. is a very
substantial nub of thought, worthy of
cogitating over. We need a great deal
more of that kind of Christianity both in
our churches and in our political activi-
ties.
To dislike a person is no great sin; it
is inherent right 1t is merely the
proof and confession that all men are not
alike in sentiment and sympathy. There
is no great danger in this fact, taken by
itself. But there is great menace in feel
ing bitterness indifference toward 9TH
ers. How often we hear a man say that
, he opposes a certain thing because some
man he dislkes favors that thing. How
often men carry their dislike for a man
to the extreme of hating him. This is the
one factor, above all others, in the slow
progress of humanity.
The fine, rare man who can act justly
and sensibly and without prejudice upon
a matter affecting people he does not
like is the man who holds the world up.
1t is one thing to prefer to keep apart
from a man because of lack of sympathy
with him, and quite another to wish to
keep that man apart from privileges and
rights because he is not in harmony with
U.S.
and to be willing to do them justice be-
cause they share a common destiny with
us as human beings is not only good re-
Hgion, but good economics.-St. Paul Dis

ENFORCING THE LAW.

For more than seven years Mr..
Roosevelt roared from the White House
that the criminal clause of the Sher-
man antitrust law could not be en-
forced. 1t never was enforced-while
Mr.. Roosevelt was in office. Sentences
recently imposed on officials of the
turpentine trust and cash register COM
pany go to show that the criminal
clause of the Sherman act can be EN-
forced whenever officers of the law
want to enforce 1T Juries will convict
trust officials against whom is brought
satisfactory evidence and judges of
lower courts will inflict jail sentences.

Holdups and robberies by niggers
in Minot, Fargo and many other large
towns in the state are almost Of daily
occurrence. The main reason for this
state of affairs is due to the fact that
so many degenerate white people flock
with and make bosom companions OF
these black scoundrels, which natural
ly causes them to feel that they can
do with IMMUNITY that which, under
other conditions, they would not dare
attempt. And another reason why so
many Of these black thugs and thieves
are flocking into the northern states
from the sunny south is the apparent
leniency of the courts, which embold-
ems them to commit crimes that they
would not think of perpetrating south
of the Mason and Dixon line, where
they know how to handle the very
toughest of tough coons. However,
Minot and other afflicted towns may
suddenly wake up and drive the entire
bunch out of town, bag and baggage.
The Philippine Islands seem to be the
best solution of the problem.-Tioga

One of the very best investments in
farm lands today lies in procuring a
farm in the "hills" south of Minot.
We have no special reason for boost
ing this locality, but we'd like to see
every foot of this land occupied and
made use of. Millions of tons of fine
feed go to waste in the hills every
year. Cattle ought to be browsing
on every hillside. Get a half section
of this land and grow cattle, horses,
sheep or hogs. An ideal place for
mixed farming and stock raising.
Fence it. Don't beak up more than
you can properly attend to. Plenty Of
fine water and a luxuriant growth of
the most nutritious grass in the world.
The land will double in value in five
years or less.

Meats are high, beef, pork, mutton.
eggs are high, fish, everything in the
way of animal food, and the econom-
ical householder begins to wonder
what to do. Beans are cheap as ever,
and pork and beans in cold weather
make a substantial and satisfying
dish. A boiled dinner with chunk of
beef and vegetables is another savory
dose when the north wind RACES. There
is mush, too, the grand dish of our
grandfathers.

A Bantry farmer received barrel
of apples from Indiana relatives.
When the apples were sent from the
Hoosier state, the local editor wrote:
"The apples will represent seven dol
lars by the time they reach their des-
tination, but the scarcity of fruit up
in the snow country will make them a
welcome Thanksgiving present" The
apples were thoroly appreciated, al
tho there is no scarcity of fruit in
North Dakota. Every home is plenti-
fully supplied with all varieties
bought from local merchants at reas-
enable prices, or even grown right on
the North Dakota farms.

Not excepting Kenmare, every town
has liar, a sponger, a smart aleck, a
girl who giggles, weather prophet, a
neighborhood feud, woman who tat
ties, know-it-all, one Roosevelt Pro-
gressive, more loafers than it needs, a
boy who cuts up in church, meddle-
some old women, ching" that stares
at women, gay aged widower, the
bunch that can run the government,
the adult who haw-haws every time he
says anything funny, and not funny,
a girl who goes to the postoffice every
time the mail comes in, scores of men
with the caboose end of their trousers
worn smooth as glass and the fellow
who writes anonymous letters to the
editor-Kenmare Journal.

Something every night in our city.
No longer the quiet town Of the last
generation. Bazaars, theatres, picture
shows, parties, sociables, lodges, some
thing for every taste. But between you
and the writer, most people would be
richer, healthier and better if they
sat at their own fireside. Too much
running. Cultivate the joys and ad-
vantages of the home. The gay world
needs more home.

The normal school buildings at Mi
not are paid for by the state and the
people of the state are more or less in
terested in the final outcome of the
lawsuit between the contractor who
erected the buildings and the company
that furnished the cement. At the
first hearing the contractor won par
tial victory but not enough to convince
the public that he was performing his
contract in an honest manner. If the
judgment should be reversed by
higher court, the people will feel that
they have been stung by the contract
or and the inspectors whose business
it was to look after the work, and Mi
not will suffer from their delinquency
should she ever ask additional build
ings from the voters of the state
Powers Lake Echo.
The final outcome Of the case has
absolutely nothing to do with the
question Of whether the people have
or have not been "stung." We don't
see how the people can feel that they
have gotten the worst of the bargain
until it has been proved that the
buildings as constructed are not ac-
cording to specifications. What de-
fects became obvious were Immediate
ly remedied and certain walls were
rebuilt before brick for the building
was laid. 1t is hoped and presumed
that barring the first trouble, the en-
tire job is being done in the best pos
sible manner. A firm of Fargo archi-
tects is supposed to see that the work
lis being carried out in capable man
ner. Why Minot should suffer from
any delinquency that might become
apparent is more than we can see. The
contract was let to the architects and
the builder by the state Normal
board. It is state institution, located
where it will benefit the most people.
The editor of the Echo should remem-
Der that this isn't Minot institution
any more than it is school for all
living tributary to it.

Minot has made wonderful strides
during the past year, yet there is one
thing that the city fathers have ne
elected. Metropolitan Minot, the
Magic City, for months has been in
need Of a garbage hauler. City ordi-
nances have been passed requiring the
residents to dispose of the ashes and
garbage in general, but it costs two
dollars jag to get the stuff hauled to
the dumping grounds. Minot is no
longer village except in one particu-
lar. One fellow whom we saw Sunday
has solved the garbage question. He
was dumping the remains of his Sum
day dinner right into the street.

This has been the mildest November
in twenty years according to records.
We noticed in a walk about the city
Sunday, doors and windows open,
scores of the more fortunate enjoying
their automobiles, lovers strolling arm
in arm thru the parks and children at
play without wraps. The river is not
yet frozen over. Fuel dealers have a
surplus stock on hand and farmers are
hauling their extra hay to town, get
ting only SO ton for it. The folks in
the country are fortunate for they are
saving on fuel and feed bills, have an
immense lot of blowing done for the
next seasons crop and have everything
in ship-shape for the few weeks of
cold weather that may be expected.

section of land feeds from six to eight
horses the year round, while statistics
show that he actually has them at
work less than one-fourth Of the time.

on horses would be returning him a
