ANT|-SOC|AL|STpl
ADDRESSsC|vENB BY
DAVID C0LDSTf|N
"CHRlSTIANITY VS.. SOCIALISM"
DISCUSSED BY SPEAKER OF
NATIONAL REPUTE AT ARM.
DRY SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

David Goldstein, the well-known an
ti-Socialist speaker, delivered an ad-
dress on "Christianity VS.. Socialism"
at the Armory Sunday afternoon be-
fore an immense crowd, many Soc
ialists being in the audience.
Goldstein debated in this city with
Arthur LeSueur two years ago ut
Spring Lake park, and a large part Of
his audience was made up of those
who had heard him before.
An effort had been made by the
Socialists to arrange for a debate be-
tween Goldstein and Bowen on the
economic side of the Socialist uues-
tion, but Goldstein claimed that his
time was limited and that he had been
brought here under the auspices Of
the Knights of Columbus under con-
tract to deliver the address he gave
Sunday.
Many looked for an exciting time,
but they were doomed to disappoint-
ment. The speaker, however, was
there with the goods, producing book
after book to back up his arguments.
He stated that in the books given
away by the various Socialist lecture
courses were several advocating the
free love doctrine.
II don't say that every Socialist is
a free lover" the speaker declared. He
said that he believed that many did
not know the contents Of some Of the
books certain leaders recommended.
He referred to the recent troubles
in Mexico and said that five out of the
twelve marines killed during the first
days fighting were Catholics. "When
the Socialists get ready to pull down
the Stars and Stripes, the Knights Of
Columbus will be in the front defend
ing the flag," he said. . ,ya
He referred to a certain Socialist
paper recommending a gift book for
Christmas, "God and My Neighbor,"
the editor stating that it would be an
appropriate Christmas gift. This book,
he declared, was written by an atheist.
He read from book entitled Outlook
From a New Standpoint" page 12S,
wherein the author stated that it was
not wrong for a woman to sell her
body, providing she gave the money
for the cause"
At the conclusion of the address,
Mr.. Bowen asked several questions,
which were answered.

WALL|N COMES TO
THE DEFENSE Of LEE
TELLS HOW THE PRESENT SHER-
IFF FEE BILL CAME TO BE IN.
TRODUCED BY FORMER MEN,
BER OF LEGISLATURE.
Editor Independent

Editor Independent:
In your paper of May 21, noticed
Mr.. w. S. Shaw is criticising the sher-
iff salary law and at the same time
takes rap at John J. Lee for intro
ducing said bill in the house in the
legislative session of 1911. As was
in the Senate the same session, and am
more to blame than Mr.. Lee for the
introduction of the bill, feel that in
justice to Mr.. Lee, it is my duty to
let the people know the truth about
this. In the first place l do not apollo
gize for supporting the bill because I
think it is vastly better than the old
fee system, and think Mr.. Lee should
be commended rather than censured
for getting the bill enacted into law.
The bill was originally introduced by
myself in the Senate but as the bill
was reported out of the Judiciary COM
mittee of the Senate to be indefnate-
ly postponed, l requested Mr.. Lee to
introduce it in the house, which he did.
After that Mr.. Lee took charge of it
until it's final passage in the Senate.
I know had no idea of becoming a
candidate for sheriff and / do not
think Mr.. Lee was prompted to get
this bill enacted by any idea of be-
coming a candidate for sheriff. The
predominating idea was to get bet
ter system than the old fee system
enacted and think it is very unfair of
Mr.. Shaw to insinuate that Mr.. Lee
was prompted by selfish motives to
work for the bill. While I am not 60
ing to write of the merits or demerits
of the measure, / want to say that l
think the sheriff of the county gets
$2,7O0 a year. Mr.. Shaw seems to
think that is too much. Maybe it is,
but / think the county treasurer and
the county auditor each get $2500. l
think l would rather hold either of
those Offices for $2500 than be sheriff
for $27OO. Mr.. Shaw must know that
no man could afford to be sheriff if
he were allowed no mileage for trav-
cling. Chances are that his expenses
for travelling would eat up his whole
salary and perhaps more. Anybody
can see that the sheriff must be allow
! ed mileage in order to be able to per-
form the services for the public i'm
posed upon him. For that reason, the
legislature made provisions for that
in the bill. It is surprising and anus
ing to see that anybody will use any,
thing like that as campaign argu-
ment against an opponent. l do not
know anything about the rest of what
Mr.. Shaw has to say, but if this is a
criterion of the rest Of his arguments,
! then I know that it is not much for
anyone to take much stock in.
Yours truly,
(Pol. Adv.) JOHN WALL1N.

THE BOSTON STORE
ADJUSTS ITS AFFAIRS
WELL KNOWN FIRM TURNS ITS
BUSINESS OVER TO ADJUST
ERS-BIG SALE is ADVERTIS-
ED. ,a

The people of Minot and all the sur
rounding country will no doubt be sur
priced and amazed to learn that the
old reliable and well-known Boston
Store has turned it's business over to
the International Consolidated Adjust
ers Sales Co., of New York, to adjust
it's affairs. There are several reasons
for this action. Business has been
quiet this spring, money is tight and
they have found themselves loaded
with large stock Of Mems and Boys
Clothing, Hats, Caps, Shoes and Fur
nishings, and no money to pay their
bills with. And for this reason the
adjusters were called here to sell the
stock and pay the creditors. The stock
is the largest and best in the city and
on Saturday, May 30th, the biggest
clothing sale ever held in Minot will
open tor ten days only. Money is what
they need and every article in the
store will be sold at cost and below,
and we advise all to take advantage Of
this opportunity to purchase their
wants Of clothing and furnishings.

Minot School Election Tuesday.

phe annual election of the MinOt
Special School Dist. No. / will be held
Tuesday, June 2. But one member of
the school board is to be elected this
year c. F. Truax, whose term ex-
pires, will be candidate for re-elec-
ton. So far, there is no opposition,
and it is entirely possible that there
will be none. Inasmuch as Mr.. Truax
is one of the owners of the Indepen-
dent, it would be embarrassing for this
paper to say much in praise of his
work on the school board. However,
Mr.. Truax desires to say that he would
appreciate being returned for another
term to assist in completing certain
work the board has started. He has
taken a great deal of interest in the
work and if his record meets with the
appreciation of the voters of the dis
trict, he would like to again be hon
ored.

ENDS HIS LIFE.

Kenmare, N. D., May 26.-Weary of
life because of almost continuous i'll
health, Nels Hanson, rs years old,
committed suicide Tuesday afternoon
between 8 and 4 o'clock at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. Nick Wilson, in
Coulee. VI
Coming to this country only two
years ago, the aged man had hardly
enjoyed good days health. The fact
that he was suffering preyed on his
mind, it is believed, to the extent that
he committed Tuesdays rash act.
He took his life in the rear of his
daughters home, using .3S calibre
revolver.
