Especial to The Argus)
GaIesburg, Ill, Nov. 2O.-The clos
ing sessions of the annual meeting of
the Episcopal synod of the diocese of
Quincy were held in Grace church
yesterday Adjournment was in order
late in the afternoon, coming after
one of the best meetings the synod
has ever enjoyed.
In the temporary absence of Rt.
Rev. Edward NJ. Fawcett, bishop of
Quincy, the synod voted unanimously
70 increase the bishops salary from
$500 per year to $500 per year.
This move was taken with Dean Sher-
wood of Rock Island presiding There
was a dramatic scene when on the
bishops return to the convention hall
the action of the synod was announc-
ed TO him by the acting chairman.
The bishop was overcome and unable
to do more than stammer forth his
gratitude, and promising to say more
at a later time. The synod sponta-
neously broke forth in the long meter
doxology, praise God, From Whom
All Blessings Flow"
This action of the synod places the
diocese of Quincy among the foremost
In the American church in matter of
LOYALTY and devotion to churchly
ideals. The synod is now &c years
old.
Thirty-five years ago the diocese OF
Quincy agreed to pay the bishop 3d.
500 annual salary. but for various rea-
sons this amount was never paid.
Bishop Fawcett was called TO the
diocese of Quincy 10 years ago for
50 200. which afterwards was jncreas-
ed to $500, where II has since stood
Plans have frequently been made for
the increase to the present stipend.
but the climax was not reached until
the meeting held in this city.
The sessions yesterday were pure
lv of a business nature. dealing with
reports. All were read and approved
by the synod. The bishop gave his an
nual address before the meeting late
Wednesday afternoon, IN which he
urged elimination OF reports of dead
or dormant parishes. The synod
agreed with this. Aside from this re-
ouest there was nothing else urged in
the address The reports showed the
synod TO be in a very prosperous
state.
There are now 45 churches in the
diocese, with a membership OF $500.

RESPECT FOR FARMER AND
HIS PROFESSION INCREASE

We have come, in those later
days, to have a far different con-
ception Of the farmer and his
life from that which was enter
tanned some years ago, and which
still persists in some quarters.
1t is not putting it too strongly
to say that until recently the
occupation of farming was quite
popularity regarded as the least
advanced Of all the
legitimate occupations in which
man could engage. 1t was regard
ed as life drudgery, hard and
unremitting, an occupation requir
ing more Of brute force than
skill, and one dependant for its
success more on the chance con-
dition of the elements than on
the intelligence with which its
work was planned. The bright
boy Of the family was sent to
the city to make his way, while
the boy supposed Ito be fit for
nothing else was perforce retain
ed on the farm. With this con-
ception it is not strange that we
had slovenly farmers and ilman-
aged farms. 1t may be consider
ed strange that we had any
others.
All that has changed, or is
changing. We have learned that
the business of farming is at
least one of the most scientific on
earth, that the farmer needs to
know more things, and know
them well, than man in almost
any other line of activity; that
farming is a business which re-
quires for its success the applica-
tion Of business methods of as
high a grade as any other busi-
ness; and that it is possible by
the admixtum Of brains, industry
Or optimism, to make the life of
the farm, not merely tolerable.
but full to the brim of the things
which make for the highest 7e-
gree Of happiness and usefulness.

done in our section" Further he,
stated: "The entire expense Of
TINS move is being met by the
business men of Garrison. The,
county is worthy of such move,
but is controlled by a class Of
men who are more, interested in
who wild get at the biggest slice
Of political pie than whether our
farms will produce good crops.
Take for instance, our eastern
campaign in which we met over
1000 farmers, many Of whom are;
going to come here this summer,
as a sample Of the results we are
having. Then there is general
revival of sentiment in favor Of
good farming in our section due
to the organization Of our farm
clubs, cooperative farm methods,
and the farm educational work.
This all is far more important
than the mere selection Of county
officers.
'The association at Garrison
will put on unique feature on
April 3, celebrating the opening
Of its new flour mill and cream
iery, by holding a monster bread
and butter banquet. Governor
Hanna and many other prominent
men will be present, and speak
on this occasion. We have at
least advanced far enough in our
development to take care Of our
bread and butter.
Corn grown on nearly every
farm was shown last fall and this
year. 3 show will be much larger.
There will be corn grown on neal
ly every farm Of the district.
"With the eyes Of two eastern
counties on its unframed lands,
this year promises to be a good
one in the immigration line. With
many farmers already on our
farms pledged to do better work
we see good year for Garrison.
Any way we are. always the hust.
ling little gritty Garrison City
on the SOO."

ATTORNEY BANGS Is
CHARGED WITH BRIBERY

A number of sensational ar
rests were made in Grand Forks
last Saturday when Attorney
Tracy r. Bangs, Harry Cooper,
James Mahon and j. e. Stevens
! were taken in the tolls Of law
on charges of bribery in the
Cooper case. Mclain Cooper
was tried three years ago on q
murder charge and was acquitted.
He was arrested Saturday in
t! Oregon and the governor signed
the requisitien papers to have
him brought back to answer to
charge Of connivance in bribing
some Of the jurors who found him
mot guilty" Harry Cooper is
his father. James Mahon and j.
&C. Stevens were jurors who it is
charged accepted bribes. The
evidence in the case has been
secured through the efforts Of
the Pinkerton Detective Agency.
The case of young Cooper was
tried before Judge Templeton
and he was convinced that the
jury had been tampered with
and himself employed a detec-
tive to investigate the matter.
In fact he was often heard by
friends to express profound re-
gret over the fact that his court
had been used for what he be-
lieved to be a preversion of
justice. His intimate friends
claim that brooding over the
matter had much to do with hast
'ening his untimely death. John
Griffin, one Of the jurors in the
case has also died since the trial.
The arrest Of Tracy Bangs,
James Mahon, McLain s. Cooper
and his father Harry Cooper is
made on the complaint and affi-
davit Of j. A. Sullivan, better
known as candy Sullivan who
was one Of the baiiffs in the
case and is generally understood
to have been the "go-between."
Tracy Bangs is regarded as
ne Of the greatest lawyers In the
state. In recent years he has
been successful in securing the
acquittal Of McLain CHOPPER. in
Grand Forks and Anderson in
Mclean county. The charge Of
barratry coming as it. does as

successful career as q lawyer
comes with special significance

Many Stores Have
Been Inspected
Prof. I.add Shows up Grocery
Stores and Meat Markets That |
Need to be Cleaned out

In the February bulletin sent
out by Prof. Ladd an interesting
table is shown giving the stand
ings of the grocery stores and
meat markets that have been in
spected by him. Since the Sani-
ta1y Law went into effect in
1909 there has been marked
improvement in the sanitary con-
dition of all food handling estab-
lishments. These places are
graded according to sanitation,
ventilation, Light, fixtures, and
personnel Of clerks. The food co;
missioner examines the front
shop, back rooms, cellar or base
ment, toilet or wash room and
back yard.
There were 600 grocery stores
examined and they averged 81.
z. There were four stores that
scored 100, they were: j. j. Bart
ley, Beach; Bismarck Grocery
Co., Bismarck; p. E. Stewart, Fa1
go and j.. P. Yerxa, Fargo.
There were 1914 meat !, markets
inspected. There average was
86.8. Only one market reached
as high as 90 and that was D.
II. Fowler, New Rockford.
In commenting ON the scores
given, Prof. Ladd says any score
below IS is not creditable; below
20 is not passable and below go
condemned. The lowest score
shown in meat markets was 65.5.
The two lowest in grocery stores
were As and 51.9 One of these
was in Bismarck and the other
in Fargo. The next two low
scores were found in these. cities
also. %
To our knowledge the stores in
this county have not been ex-
amined. The bulletin sent out
is very interesting and should be
read by everyone: 1t is a good
thing to know that the Sanitary
Law is being enforced: and that
the people are benefiting by it.

soLBERa CASE HAS
BEEN DISMISSED

The Solberg case was brought
up for hearing before Justice
Langbell last We dnesday after
noon and was dismissed on the
motion of Assistant States
Attorney Madden without TAX
ing any testimony. The case
originated little over two years
ago when the defendant broke
out some of the window lights in
the Max Drug Company store.
He was arrested bysthe village
marshal and while being takeneto
supper at the hotel night or;:so
after his arrest, he escaped by
going through the window. He
was taken up last week, after
causing disturbance in Raus-
er's pool hall, and was tried and
fined in justice court before
Justice Bollman, Wednesday af-
ternoon. But the case for the
breaking of the glass in the drug
store was dismissed. The records
of the justice do not show upon
|, what grounds, but we have heard
that it was because it was feared
that a conviction could not be
had. Upon what grounds the
opinion is based we do not know,
but it seems to a great many that
it would haye only been fair to
1.-THE complaining witnesses and to
the deft ndant as well, to have
puoceeded in the matter as long
as it had gone this far, and it
would not have incurred any
great additional costs. If the
state did not have a case against
the defendant, it. should not
have been started, and once start
ed, it would seem that any OBJ
| jections as to whether or not the
statute of limitation had run
against the. action or. any other
defense to the action should come
from the defendant, Not that
any one would think Of such q

ton for their action ii the mat
