the issue to the people by invok-
ing the referendum against the
bill.
Grounds of the opposition in
two contentious of the bill are
that it is insuficiently drastic be-
cause it permits leases running
three years; and because at pres
ent it embarrasses the national ad-
ministration.
Another of the triple opposi-

Bryan and Chinda Confer.
Washington. May l9.-Secre-
tary Bryan, late today, handed
Ambassador Chinda the reply of
the United States government to
the Japanese protest against the
California alien land legislation.
The ambassador Immediately cab
led to Toxic. No indication as to
the nature of the reply was given
out.
Chinda came to the state de-
partment and the secretary and
he conferred earnestly for an hour
regarding the general aspect of the
problem which they are trying to
solve. Opinions were expressed
tentative. as the ambassador felt
he must be guided entirely by the
directions of the foreign Office at
Toxic. Meanwhile it is under.
stood that both the Japanese pro.
test and the state department an.
swer will be withheld from publ.
cation for the present at least, on
the ground that it would be inju.
dicious to submit the delicate
questions at issue to the heated
discussion in newspapers and al
possible mass meetings. Negotia'
tons between the two countrie.
are not expected to proceed in the
regular fashion.

CLUBS DO ROAD WORK.

Grand Forks. May 22.-One
of the important movements that
is being forwarded all over the
state. by the different organize
tions vary in extent from the pro-
motion of transcontinental high
ways, such as the Meridian Road,
the International highway from
Winnipeg to the Gulf of Mexico
and the Wonderland Trail, which
extends from Duluth and the
Great Lakes to the Pacific, head
quarters for both of which are in
Grand Forks, to the building and
maintenance of local roads by in
dividual clubs.
A successful plan which takes
only limited amount of time has
just been tried out at Tolna in
Nelson county. Telling of this
work in a recent issue o our Toll
ma Tribune says:
AT the meeting of the Tolna
Commercial club last Tuesday
evening it was decided that all the
members who could possibly
spare the time turn out on We'd
hesday forenoon and take out
stone on the roads east and north
of town.
Upon the tapping of the FIRE
bell at $3.50. nearly all respond
ed, and with shovels, picks and
crowbars were taken out in auto
mobiles and put to work in sec-
tions. When all returned at noon
there was some discussion as to
which gang took out the largest
and most stone, but we want to
say right here that for a bunch
of men who are not accustomed
to real heavy labor, they took
out a great amount Of stone.
After the roads have been trav-
eled about two weeks It will be
necessary to go over them again
and refill the holes left by the
stone which will be packed down,
and we trust that the boys will
all be willing to help in this.
With this active interest in the
good roads situation North Dako-
ia cannot help but see material i'm
provement in her roads within a
comparatively short time.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEAR.
ANCE OF WIBAUX MAN.

WHAT seetlo tOsOe quite etaftl-
ing circumstance has developed
in the last few days in our neigh
borhood, by the sudden disap-
pearance of H. B. Brimmer,
known among the farmers of this
community, as Bert Brimmer. He
will be best remembered by the
death of his brother Vim. some
few months ago.
Mr.. Brimmer came from Aber-
deem. S. D., several years ago and
settled on some unsurveyed land
about 20 miles southwest of Wi
baux, where he had resided sever
al years. But. being in ill health
for the past winter he went to
Aberdeen, S. D.. to sojourn with
his sister. Mrs. 7. D. Wegner. He
was a single man about As years
of age. rather quiet and bashful.
about Oft. tall and rather slim in
appearance.
He was sometimes subject to
periods of melancholia, especially
since the death of his brother. He
left Aberdeen. on April the 9th.
and at that time he had bank
draft on a Chicago bank for $25
and about $6 in cash. He is
known to have changed cars at
jamestown, N. D. and stopped at
one of the hotels there, he arrived
however, at Wibaux on April the
10th and was seen by Marshall
Keechle, as he stepped off the
train. He had in his possession a
fur coat and a grip when he left
home, but when he arrived here
he was without either.
He wore a grey suit and dark
cap. and was last seen by parties
here in Wibaux, the next day
after his arrival. He was too sick
to work, and at times is known
to have suffered from heart trou-
bic. The draft has never been
cashed, and a pocket book, which
he left at his sisters, which was
afterwards forwarded here, has
never been called for. He intend
ed to file on his land now open
ed for entry, but has failed to do
go.
Upon receiving telegram from
the Chief of Police at Aberdeen,
Chief of Police Keechle began in
vestigation Immediately, but up
till now, no word has led to his
discovery. On Monday. T.. D.
.Wegnerr's brother-in-law arrived
in the city and has offered re-
ward to anyone furnishing infor.
nation, that will lead to the dis
,covery of the person dead or alive.
There are several conjectures
made, one is that he might have
become demented and lost his
way whilst walking out to his
homestead. of which he thought
a good deal. Another is. that he
might have been stricken with
heart failure. whilst attempting to
walk home. and may have died
by the way.
1t is certain that he could no,

A LETTER TO JUDGE SPEER.

Judge Emory Speer, Macon, Ca:
Honorable Sir: I notice that you
will preside at the trial of Thos. E.
Watson, and l am, therefore, taking
the liberty of addressing you for the
purpose of imploring you not to be
Influenced in any way by the Roman
Catholic Hierarchy.
The priests are certainly past
masters in the art of deceiving the
non-Catholic people and they, no
doubt, will scheme and plan to in
fluence you in this case because they
have a whole lot to gain if the case
should happen to be decided in their
favor, and ii so it would create a
precedent that would eventually re-
suit in the ruin of this great nation.
Keep a watchful eye on the pro-
ceedings, especially the picking Of
the jury, and even if you are not in
sympathy with the work to which
Mr. Watson seems to have dedicated
to his life, do not let it in any way
interfere with the duty you owe to

that the matter which was printed
in Watson's Magazine, in Latin, and
which, it is charged by the govern

A Spy OF She Pope is Assistant
President OF aE2e United States!

DURING the Presidential Campaign, we
- were told that Governor Woodrow Wilson
had discharged his private secretary, Joseph
Patrick Tumulty, the Jesuit.
Ii transpired later that he had not done so.
During the same Campaign, it was said in
the papers of the North and the East that
Governor Woodrow Wilson had become an
honorary member Of the traitor-gang, The
Knights Of Columbus
Later, It was denied, t2a the Southern papers,
thaJ he had done So
in the hattering notice which Jesuit
Tuinulty is now causing to be published about
himself it is stated that he had much to do
with Wilson's nomination at Baltimore.
IL did,
Tpmu]ty, Gibbons, Murphy, Taggart, Sui
liyan, O'Gorman and McGraw brought that
nomination about, after Bryan had vainly
limited That he Bryan, was the logical com
promise man.
I2multy is now the Private Secretary to
president Wilson.

Caiaf Enecut5re, By oo0rd or letter, must DO so

SWORN SLAVE, Joseph Pat1,ich Teenoat1ty.
No letter and no word from the outside
world can reach President Wilson. save by
the grace Of this sly Jesuit the sco1>n e4aenoy
Of 1nericago PRINCIPLES.
Between the People and their President,
stands the Pope Of Rome, in the person Of his
sworn slave, Tumulty.
No such uoo1tage ground eoos ever occupied
6Y the Pope before.
Northern Democrats first agreed to receive
at Washington an Ambassador from the Pope.
Northern Democrats now elevate a papal
spy to be Assistant President Of this Republic
THAT is the title which Tumulty and his
friends give him--A SSIST1N -I'lPESI-
DENT OF TIE UNITED STATES.
The title is we'll chosen: the Private Secre-
tary Of the President is not only the Assistant,
o2'ouy9, but he is often the real President,
In other words, it is often the Secretarys
wiII that influences the Presidents action.
Everybody knows this: therefore, every
body knows that, just as the Jesuits are
supreme in the Roman Catholic Church, they
will be all-powerful in our White House.

Please write to me, and tell me.

Let us be reasonable with Wilson: let us

Don't let us expect him to try to do, and to
undo, things that he did not promise to do,

Let us hope for nothing more than was

So far as we Democrats are concerned, we
don't care whether our Presidents smile, or
merely grin.
It's their privilege to do either. But

After Rev. j. W. Ham had made his

and said, as per newspaper report:
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1913-03-20
Broughton Defends Him.

DR. Broughton, in addressing the Bible confer
ence audience this morning, prefaced his sermon
with defense OF Rev. Dr. Ham. Or. BroughtOn
said in part:
Il have known Mr.. Ham for several years. He
has been as close to brother and know
him to be as straight and square man as there
is. | have comment to make in regard to the
persons who desired to get their money by such
stringent MEANS but i do not intend to have my
friend slaughtered because of act of indscre-
ton" At this point the doctor was Interrupted
by cheering and loud applause.
CDR Ham this morning received a check to
cover the entire amount, but | will not allow any
one on the outside to do this. DR.. Ham is a
Christian and If the good people Of this
assembly do not pay the deficit will personally
do so Contributions were requested after the
service and the liberal responses were more than
sufficient to raise the necessary fund.
Those jewellers and that bondsman must
feel bad
They are bad Confound their sinking
hides they actually wanted Brother Ham to
finish paying for that diamond ring.
He had had it for more than a year.
He could have ended the Bail Trover suit,
at oaay time, by surrendering the ring.
But he would not give it up, nor would he
pay for it.
Therefore, he must be slaughtered" and
DR.. Broughton was determined that Brother
Ham should not be massacred by the generous
bondsman, and the too-confding jewelers.
So Broughton yells at his congregation
"If y0u don't cough ~p the money to finish
paying for the 1925 diamond, I'W do 1t, ney-
