HANNA's APPOINTMENTS.

Gov. L. B. Hanna has been criticised
by some democratic and other partisan
papers because of some of hisappojnt.
ments. Most Of the papers, however
have very generally commended the
selections that have been made hv Mr.
Hanna. The Forum belle res that he
has used splendid judgment and given
general satisfaction.
One of the criticisms most ofte,
heard is that the "slope'' or western
part Of the state did nor get its share
of appointments. It is to be noted
though that this criticism generally
coc,as from papers in the eastern ..
central part Of the state. The people
in the western part of the state s:c1

WHAT WILL. THEY DO.

Duluth, following the lead of other
Minnesota cities, is about to wipt out
its vice district. The crusade has al.
ready started. Whether or not it Is
a wise thing to do is another ques-
ton. Discussing such advisability. the
Duluth Herald says:
What Of the fallen sisters driven
out Of their haunts by this general
movement against the vice district
What is to become of them7
Wiping out vice districts does not
destroy vice. It does not change
human nature. 1t does not affect the
conditions that create class Of fallen
women. 1t does not reduce the brute
passions which foster this class. After
a given vice district has been raided
and broken up, there are just as many
| fallen women as there were before.
They may be driven out of town
but that only means that they will
90 to some other town. They may for
time, be hurried from hiding place

cary on their terrible traffic, in def
ance of law and executive action.

Down in Milwaukee, the city made
famous by certain product which is
exceedingly scarce, just at present in
North Dakota, two gangs i of sewer
diggers staged a game of baseball,
strictly amateur. To add to the gayety
of the affair a key Of beer was pur.
chased and it was agreed among the
members of the two teams that only
those who made safe hits should drink.
This arrangement worked nicely FOR
the first three innings. Then it was no.
ticed that the two pitchers were ex-
ceedingly parsimonious in the matter
of allowing hits, in fact the only safe
hits made were made by the box ar
lists and they were getting hits with
great regularity. The drouth became
more noticeable in the fourth and fifth
innings, and mutterings were heard
among the hoi-polloi of combination
in restraint Of trade on the part Of the
two twirlers. The storm broke in the
sixth, when one big land-heaver, whose
coppers had become overheated, came
to the key and found that the two
pitchers had gone to the keg too often
and that it was dry, almost as dry
as the two teams of ballplayers. The
result was riot, which, according to
news reports necessitated the calling
in Of the police, and later, the doctors.
And the worst Of it was every man
on the two teams, except the pitchers,
who drank the beer, paid fine of SIS
and costs the next morning. Moral:
Drink your beer before you 90 to the
game, or else come to North Dakota
where there is no beer.

investigation into the matter.
Monday Of this week the editor wa.
in Bismarck and called at the COVER
nor's Office, and learned the following
regarding the appointments: The
governor has the appointing Of abou,
fifty men in the different branches Of
the state-either directly or indirect,
". This would make about one ap.
pointment for each county in the
state. At the present time Morton
county has received seven out Of the
fifty and Of these five were named fron'
the city Of Mandan. The list is as
follows: W. F. Reko, Mandan, $500;
and expenses; G. l.. Jeigler, Mandan,
$500; E. A. Thorberg, Mandan, 3d.

HILLS WORDS REAssURNa.

4 James J. Hill, the man who controls
the Great Northern and Northern Pa.
cific railroads, made the following
| statement in recent interview in
| Washington:
"The people demand tariff reduction
and say they are determined to have
it. If the senate blocks them, the
people will change the complexion Of
the senate by means of direct elecion.' -
He followed his statement with the
following, later in the interview:
"The old political parties no longer
exist in the northwest
Concluding his talk Mr.. Hill said:
II see no signs Of slackening bust.
ness or necessary curtailment."
There is great significance and a
vast amount Of reinsurance to the
northwest in these statements, espe-
cially the last, coming from Hill. They
will carry greater weight in the north
west than if they had come from any
other single individual.
Mr.. Hill is noted for his keen grasp
of affairs. One of the characteristics
which has done more to make him
what he is than any other, is this re-
markable ability to size up conditions.
and in this summing up Of the situa-
tion at the present time in the north
west Mr.. Hill has shown that advance
ing years have not in the least dimmed
this faculty.
The Forum in discussing the tariff
recently, gave publicity to a rumor
that the railroads and other great cor
porations in the northwest, were plan
ming curtailment Of improvements,
as public demonstration against the
democratic tariff bill. These words
from Mr.. Hill prove that there is abso-
lutely no foundation for such rumor
and assures the northwest that so far
as the Hill interests are concerned they
are in harmony with the tariff reduc.
ton and expect continued advance.
ment and progress throughout the
section.
The statement regarding political
affairs is bold assertion that puts
into words condition that is not gen.
orally realized and yet is none the less
fact. Party lines have been abso-
lutely wiped out in the northwest. The
effort to hold any party together is
almost joke. The people Of the
northwest are political free thinkers
and Mr.. Hill voiced the almost unaui.
nous opinion of this part of the coun.
try when he said that the people de.
mand tariff reduction and will change
the complexion of the senate if that
body blocks the democratic tariff bill.

RooKEFE1LER's ADDRESS ASKED

In the current issue of the Farm and
Fireside, the editor Of that publica-
ton prints letter he has received
from a Minnesota farmer who saws
that he wants to send his boys to col
lege and that he cannot afford the ex-
pense. He says that he has read in the
papers that millionaires give away
much money and he thinks that one of
them might give him thousand dol
lars to start his boys in college. He
adds that he does not know the ad-
dress of these millionaires, so he wants
the editor of Farm and Fireside to
give him the addresses Of Andrew Car
negie, P. A. B. Widener, John D. Rock
efeller and others. The editor IS COM
ments on this farmers letter are in
part as follows:
OF course, none of these men would
answer letter from our friend if he
should write asking for tho thousand
dollars.
HBut would the thousand dollars do
our friend any good? I am absolutely
satisfied in my own mind that it would
not. What his sons need is not money,

SADIE Of determination. ;,
In many communism st. Paul

the good women Of the cities have
thought Of this, and are planning &C.
tion for the relief of their stained
sisters who are the victims of these
campaigns for municipal morality.
It is talked that such a movement
will be begun in Duluth.
This is timely. It is cruel to
scourge these women from their
haunts without taking thought of
what is to become Of them. Stained
and world-worn though they are,
they are our sisters. The "civiliza.
ton" that created them should care
for them in some humane way.
What do those who are bent only
on vice determination know about
what parental neglect, what lack of
youthful opportunity, what ignorance,
what lovers perfdy, put these women
where they ares Who is to judge
them, and be fearless of himself being
judged for his part in creating their

1t is high time that thought, and
deep thought, were being given to
this problem. Tt is as important that
consideration be given to the welfare
of these unfortunate women as it is
that the city shall make the attempt
to rid itself of. vice.
Obliteration of vice districts with
out some care as to what becomes of
those who inhabit these districts is
cruel, barbarous and uncivilized.

A FIGHT AGAINST TANhdANY,

The president nomination of John
Purroy Mitchell for Collector of the
Port Of New York with its threat Of
break with Tammany Hall, recalls
The fight between President Garfield
and the Republican Tammany of New
York in 1881. Whom Garfield ma
Robertson for collector, Roscoe Conk-
ling and Thomas Platt resigned in a
spectacular manner from the senate
and demanded reelection as rebuxe
to the president. But the New York
legislature refused, and Conkling and
Plat were replaced in the senate by
Lapham and Miller.
In nominating Mitchell, President
Wilson is said to have launched a
movement to.make Mitchell the admin.
istration candidate for mayor of New
York. Mitchell is said to be obnoxious
to Tammany, but Tammany is willy and

CAN SUCH THINGS BE?

III an eHOFC TO connect PRESIDENT w
NJ. Wood, of the American Wooden Co.
and Frederick F. Atteaux with alleged
conspiracy to discredit the textile
workers who struck for better working
conditions at Lawrence, Mass, some
time ago, John J. Brecn, Lawrence
undertaken, was called to the witness
stand to tell what he knew about the
planting" of dynamite in the Lawr
ence mills by the owners of the mills
themselves.
Breen's testimony was to the effect
that Atteaux, representative Of the
company, had paid him $500 to plant
the dynamite in the mills, and that he
was to pay him an addition 5000 when
the job was completed. Breen sub-let
the job for $50 to one Dennis j. Col.
Inns.
The dynamite was planted, the ex.
plosion came of as expected, the hired
men were paid their money for the job
and the strikers ,swere charged with
the crime. What do you think about
IT. 49,
One man who was concerned in the
outrage committed suicide the day he
was summoned to appear before the
grand jury. Another attempted to
leave the country and was caught and
brought back.
And this awful crime was committed
not by the strikers, but by the mill
owners. Disregarding the fact that
they might easily have caused the
death of scores Of innocent people,
and intent only on breaking the strike
and reducing large number Of op-
eratives to still more abject industrial
slavery, these men worth millions, de-
liberately plotted to destroy their own
property and attemptd to fasten tie
crime upon men and women whose on
~ crime was in demanding the God.
given right to live like human beings.
Good people, take long and intent
look at this Mr.. William NJ. Wood. at
Mr.. Atteaux, at John j. Breen, who
sold himself for $500 and at Dennis j.
Collins, least culpable of the quartette,
who attempted to commit wholesale
murder for the paltry sum Of $50.
Protested anarchists, nihilists, des.
troyers Of life and property all over
the world, have nothing on these men,
who may get away because they have
lots Of money. II
And, remember, this heinous crime
was not committed in darkest Russia,
but in the good old q. s. A., in the
high-browed state Of Massachusetts,
where American civilization is sup
posed to have reached its apex. It is
enough to make the average man won
der whether we are going backward OF
forward in our scheme Of civilized life.
