business interests 81 the Magic City,
arrived in Minot yesterday after hav-

bound for this country and this boat
went at the rate of close to rs miles
an hour, during the night without a
single light. Mr.. Fauchald said to-

that of people with whom no has been

Mr.. Whitlock. for example, few
months after winning his first import
ant law case, had the awakening ex-
perience Of discovering that he had
been entirely In the wrong in q cause
ne had espoused, and had convicted
the wrong man. From that time on
he never again undertook to convict
any man OF sin. He might defend
people. but he never would be a party
to a prosecution
Inadequacy Of Human Laws.
This was probably the beginning of
his discovery that human laws applied
tn the utmost honesty can never really
fidge between man and man, can
never really right wrong. Later !, his
career, through his friendship with the
famous Golden Rule jones'" the reo-
ple's mayor Of Toledo, and with Tom
Johnson of Cleveland. he was accused
of being q Socialist. But he was re-
pudiated at the same time by extreme
socialism because he could never sub
scribe to the notion that any one could
SO regulate behavior by law as to L 1 Ike
things right for everybody.
The book shows capital on the one
hand and labor on the other pulling
the mayor this way and that, Each
demanded protection. labor In the
right to strike. capital In the right to
conduct business, Both thought them
selves right. and both had right on
their side. Mr.. Whifiook found them
about equal in unreasonahleness. but
he alse found that when he could get
them together rs man to man, talking
things out fairly. right began to pre-
vail, and he was successful then md
later in mediatinH difficulties,
AS he expressed 1t, the demands that
seemed so important to each side
gradually faded out and things went
on pretty much as they were befsre.
He felt himself, however, usually
vaguely aware that the working Men
were right even when they were
