OUR NEW PRESIDENT.

Woodrow Wilson was inaugerated
president of the United States of
America last Tuesday for one term Of
four years, amid much pomp and
honor and enthusiasm, especially
among the democrats, for it has been
sixteen years since their party was
in power. With the democrat presi-
dent comes democratic majority in
both branches Of Congress, so now
the government is turned over. to de-
mocracy, completely, and we admire
the progressive views and spirit Of
President Wilson and his broad views
we only hope-yet we doubt-that he
will be able to carry them out. Our
race will watch you, as never before,
to see if you offer CLEAN of hope
for this young rising, struggling
Negro race in America. .l aE

and waited for her to step out of line.

FAench, formerly cashier of the Ellen

in securing full and unconditional

In passing sentence upon French,
Judge Youmans said that he did 80
with the gravest misgivings and only
with the belief that the prisoner would
have little difficulty in securing his
freedom. Il would trust French with
anything that owned" declared the
court. Il would be willing to suspend
sentence except for the effect which
it might have upon Others"
French was found guilty of making
false entries in the bank books. He
declared that he took the step to pro
tect others. He showed that he did
n4 profit by his transactions. Imme-
diaNely after passing sentence upon
him, Judge Youmans dictated a letter
to President Wilson, urging that par
don be granted at once. 1t is possible
that French will never be taken from
Fargo to the federal penitentiary.
