HAS MONEY WITHOUT LIMIT
President Thinks 1t of Serious
Interest That the People
Should Be Voiceless in
These Matters.
from Tfe T-Ib01l Bureaa

Washington May 25.-Hot shot was fred
AZ the lobby industry in Washington by
tine President in formal statement
issued to-day following his semi-veekly
conference with the newspaper men.
While President Wilson did not name the
lobby maintained by the sugar interests.
he left ua doubt that his attack was
aimed at that coterie Of lobbyists.
.'Washington has seldom seen 50 nu-'
merous. So Industrious or SO insidious a
lobby" declared the President. who called
attention To the advertisements appearing
in the local newspapers.
President Wilson's statement was in
spired by an inquiry about the progress
of the tariff bill He asserted that he
could not throw a brick without hltung
q LOBBYIST. and that the public should be
Informed Of the systematic efforts being
made o. mislead tine people and misrep-
resent the facts about tariff legislation.
some one asked him why he did not make
a statement about the lobbying here and
ne promptly replied that he would.
President Wilson's Statement.
ID think that the public ought 10 know the
extraordinary exeruons being made by the
lobby in Washington 10 gain recognition
for certain alterations of the tariff biu.
said Mr.. Wilson. In his statement. Wash
inctou has seldom seen so numerous. so
industrious or SO insidiOus lobby. The
newspapers are being filed with paid
advertisements calculated 10 mislead the
iudgment of public men not ouly. but also
the public opinion Of the country itself.
There is every evidence that money with
our limit Is being spent % sustain this
lobby and 10 create an appearance Of a
pressure of opinion antagouistic % some
of the chief items OF the tariff bill
Ell is OF serious interest Co the country
that the people at large should have no
lobby and be voiceless In these matters.
while great bodies Of astute men seek
o. create am artificial opinion and TO over
come the interests Of the public for their
private profit. il Is thoroughly worth the
while of the people OF this country 20
take knowledge of this matter. Only pub
lie opinion can check and destroy IT,
The government i'm all its branches
ought TO be relieved from this intoleraoie
burden and this constant interruption 70
the calm progress OF debate. know that
i'm this am speaking for the members
of the two houses. VINO would rejoice as
much as I would 20 BE- released from
this unbearable situation"
President Wilson Is confident that the
tariff bill viii pass the Senate without
material changes. despite the strong lobby
lie will not admit that the sugar indus
try win De seriously hurt by the proposed
programme for free sugar in three years.
and he believes that the arguments ad-
vanced against the bill are baseless He
intimated that ne was not disturbed By
the lobby or the possibility Of a hght on
the biz in the Senate.

TIERS.

Mrs. o. D. Brunemer, Summit Park,

BY GOVERNOR L. B.
HANNA, SUPT. E. ]. TAYLOR
AND PRESIDENT A. G. CRANE.

A large number of prominent WIS.,
itors from various sections of the
state gathered at Minot Friday to at
tend the exercises in connection with
the laying Of the corner stone of the
new Minot Normal school building.
The guests were taken to the
grounds nearly mile away from the
business section of the city in autos,
arriving at about 1890. The speakers
were introduced by the Secretary of
the Normal board, Ex-Governor J. M.
Devine.
Governor Hanna's address was one
of the best he has delivered. He has
been loyal to the Minot Normal
school at all times and at all times
may be found supporting any prop
osition of educational value.
The trowel which Governor Hanna
used in laying the corner stone is of
historic value. 1t was presented to
him nine years ago by the Salvation
Army of Fargo at the time he laid
the corner stone for their barrack. In
1906 it was used in laying the corner
stone of the Fargo Y. NJ. C. A. build
ing, and in 1906 Col. S. F. Crockett
used it in laying the corner stone of
the First Baptist church at Fargo. It
was used again in September, 1910,
bv Rev. W. g. JJlrich in 1avinu tho
corner stone of the English Lutheran
church at Fargo and in July, 1911, the
Supreme President of the Sons of
Norway, Olaf I. Roe, used it in laying
the corner stone Of the Sons of Nor
way building at Fargo. On Labor
Day, 1911, President Roosevelt used it
to lay the corner stone for the library
of the Fargo College and it was used

z|TKA BOY Would

LAD ATTEMPTS
TO SET BEGLEY & HARMON'S
HAY ON FIRE-LAD ACCUSED
HIS FATHER.

Joe Zitka, who lives on the Grow
Renwald farm three miles east of the
city was arrested Tuesday charged
with attempted arson. He was given
"a hearing before Justice Lynch and
dismissed. It seems that Joe's nine
year-old boy was the cause Of the
trouble and Joe proved himself to be
just as peaceable citizen as we al
ways believed him to be-. The Zitka
lad and young sister have been walk
ing to the city daily to recite their
catecism and it seems that this made
the lad angry. He'd rather stay home
and play. An employee of the Begley
& Harmon wood yard saw the urchin
crawling thru a window into their
building filled with hay and just as
he was lighting match the man call
ed to him. The lad explained that he
was trying to set the hay on fire, and
that because of some trouble between
his father and the owner, the father
had sent the boy to burn the hay. The
lad was taken in tow by the police
and officers sent after the father. On
the stand the boy said that he had not
been telling the truth. He had at
tempted to burn the hay thru pure
devilishness.

The lighting rate was considered by
the city commissioners Monday night.
The Consumers Power Co. offer to
reduce the. rate to IL cents per K. in
stead Of 10 for the first hundred X.
but this is not agreeable to the city
commission. 1t is believed that the
commission will take steps towards

see their way financially, unless this
city gets as good . rate as Fargo. and

that Minot uses far less electricity

The Governor will have its record en-
graved on it and present it to the
State Historical Society.
State Supt. of Public Instruction
E. J. Taylor delivered an interesting
address reviewing the progress made
by the schools of the state. He said
the rural schools are coming into their
own and pointed out the fact that the
Normal schools are doing q great
work for them in providing the right
kind of teachers.
The address of President Crane ap-
pears elsewhere in this issue.
In the afternoon the guests were
taken for a launch ride up the river
and for an auto ride about the city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Crane entertained
Governor Hanna and members of the
Northwestern Summer school facul-
ty at the. Leland for luncheon Friday.
Ninety of the students of the sum-
mer school came to Minot on a spec
ial train that morning to attend the
exercises, returning in the evening.
Among the notables attending the
exercises were noticed the following:

CLAIM THAT CEMENT WORK
IS NOT Up TO STANDARD

his own mind that the gravel is up to
standard, altho he declares that the
proper amount of cement is being
used.
The commission voted to pay the
contractor $500 as part payment for
the work at the Monday night meet
ing, Dorman voting against it. The
city stands practically no chance of
losing anything, even if the work
should prove to be inferior, which is
not generally believed. The con-
tractor has been compelled to furnish
bonds Hfor more than the contract
price, good for five years, besides, Is
per cent of the contract price is held
back for year or two. Within five
years we will surely know whether
Mr.. Dorman is talking thru his hat or
not.

say that when the full moon occurs to-

because It is about the time of the Eng

Second Thought In Mexico.

General Huerta says now wha he re-
fused to say when John LIND. special repre-
Sentative OF President Wilson, called upon
him last month. He pledges his govern
5mentkto Northumberland In the approach
ing elections; he offers all candidates the
projections OF the military and the police,
and he distinctly disavows on behalf OF
himself and his government ANY predi1ec-
ton or favorittsm for any candidate"
In August, senor Gainboa. Mexican
minister Of foreign affairs, replying to
President Wilson'S representations OF
these points, was evasivc and insolent. As
70 nor-interference he remarked that
ssbandits have no rignrs TO an aImisrice-
and that ..the first action againgt them Is
one Of correction" Concerning the pro-
lection of Huerta's adversaries at the
polls he said that .their lives must be
severed for the sake of biological and

should grow and fructify." Relative to

New York-'Pasha Won Hochwacht,"
q German shepherd dog owned by Ben
Jamin E.. Throop, of Scanton, Pa, sure
is a wonder. One of his trainers came
out on the field at Van Cordtlandt
park, where the exhibition of police
dogs took place recently, and was pre-
sumabiy knocked senseless with q
brick hurled by another attendant.
Pasha was then sent on the trail.
Taking up the scent from the brick
which he discovered, the dog got the
trail and was soon off after the fugi-
tive, who was finally caught. ii was
fortunate that he was well padded, for
Pasha, who is decidedly powerful, was
anything but gentle with the supposed
culprit.
The nine-foot fence which the dog
leaped while on the trail was the high
est obstacle placed in the way of the
dogs, and Pasha alone succeeded in
clearing It Considering that fully ten
thousand people were present at the
exhibition and that they crossed and
recrossed the field left by the supposed
culprits, the dogs performed remark
able reats and astonished the visiting
police officials from other cities.

a case of the wish being father of the
thought. but h Liberal of this city
learns that negotiations nave SO far
proceeded here, in London, and Paris
that a new triple alliance is not far off.
Such an alliance Of England, France
and Spain, the paper welcomes as a
sure sign of the regeneration Of Spain,
which was left isolated at the end Of
the Spantsh-American War-"weaker
In ornaments but stronger in will and
industry"
After referring to the entrance into
European life of new and considerable
forces as the result of the Balkan War,
and especially the rise of Greek naval
power, the Liberal declares hat the
moment is opportune TO take a resolu-
tton In regard TO international policy.
It says that 1t is not a question Of
choosing a position, but of turning the
position which fate has imposed upon
Spain to her best advantage.
