opinion definitely in such matters, the
Tribune believes that sentiment ia.
vored the pardon of George L. Bick.
ford, former state treasurer. The
pardon board in its statement sets
forth the underlying reasons for it's
action.
During the long time that the liti.
cation has Jagged public sentiment
has changed and the general feeling
throughout the state is that the ends
of justice have been served. Bick.
ford is a poor nan today and If he
IS not chastened by the experience
Of the last few years, no term in the
state prison would bring about such
a reform.
BickfOrd, it is hoped, has learned q
lesson. His conviction should be a
warning to others. On the whole, the
pardon board probably acted wisely.
The incident should stand as a
warning to state officials of whatever
party, that after all in public, as well
as in private, life honesty is the best
policy"

A MESSIAH"


The little town of Reeder, down on
Milwaukee railway, in this state; holds
a unique place among the villages OF
the United States in a musical way,
With a population Of a trifle owe 2OJ
people, and the town but seven years
old, it has this spring presented the
fOnrth successful performances Of ora.
toriO. Under the mastery leadership
OF Jacob l.. Hort, the chorus, rang.
ing from forty to seventy voices, all
from the community, has each year
charmed its hearers, who gather from
fifty miles around for the event.
The Conductor.
Mr.. Hort, formerly the head of a
successful school OF music in Min.
neapolis, came to that part of North
Dakota in 1907 to engage in business
and very soon he had gathered the
settlers into a choral society. His
W splendid tenor voice was a large
factor in rousing the community, and
his tireless energy and patience and
his unusual ability as a leader have
brought success and a love for the
best in music to the community. The
people cannot too highly value the in
fluence of such a man.
1t is a surprise to visitors to find so
powerful and well-trained a chorus,
and many are the %appreciative words
spoken each year. Splendid talent
has always been obtainable for the
solo parts, no small part of it coming
from the community itself. The Cru.
%cifixion. The Creation and, twice,
The Messiah, have been presented,
while last Christmas the cantata,
Bethlehem was sung.
This Year the Messiah.
This year, on Sunday, in honor of
the leaders, birthday anniversary, a
most successful rendering of The Mes.
siah was given before the largest and
most enthusiastic gathering of the
towns history. Mr.. Hort, himself,
sang the tenor roles beautifully. Miss
Clara Williams, of Minneapolis, we'll.
known to music lovers of the north.
west. came out, for the second time,
to grace the OCCASION with her lovely
voice, Miss Elsa Spellman Of Reeder
brought out the tenderness and pathos
of the c%ontralto solos, while the lead
er's son, Carl HORT, of Hillsboro,
showed high ability and appreciation
of the %soul-stirring baritone parts.
The chorus is said to have done its
most effective work in this rendering
and the big audience was reused to a
high pitch of enthusiasm. The &C.
compartments by piano and a small
orchestra were splendidly executed.
Plans r already laid to repeat
Bethlehem, at Christmas time, and
the oratorio, Elijah, will be presented
during the spring of 1916.
The influence of this best in music
in a small town is widespread and a
good work is being done.

BY a direct rule, which hes been
in force for over eight years, the
Chamber of Commerce prevents its
members from competing against
each other in bidding for grain on
track in the country. This rule In
question is as follows:
every member of this association,
and every person, firm and corpora
ton admitted to trade or to do busl-
ness therein, hereafter buying d.
rectly or indirectly, for his, their or
its own account or otherwise, any
grain or seeds dealt in upon this ex-
change, in car load lots on track at
country points, for shipment to Min.
neapolis, shall make their bids, offers
and purchases therefor on the basis
of the Minneapolis market values less
commission or a profit at least equal
to the established rates Of commits
sion on sad grain or seeds; and in
addition such bids, offers Or purchases
shall be made subject to the usual
and the same charges of this associa-
ton, to include, and they shall in
clude, switching, inspection, weighing,
freight-if a delivered bid and
freight on dockage if a track bid
interest on advances, and all other
charges according to the rules of this
association, the same as If said grain
or seeds were handled on commission
through said association"
NAll question as to the effect of this
rule is set at rest by the admissions
of Secretary McHugh of the Chamber
itself, before both investigating COM
mittees of the Minnesota legislature.
Before the house committee McHugh
testified as follows, with reference to
the rule in question.

oils market is concerned, the enforce
ment Of this rule practically destroys

POORLY INFORMED.

Voters of the Second Congressional
district should not be misled by a re
cent editorial appearing in the Sykes
ton Tribune, to the effect that Con
gresham Young voted against free
tolls. Whether the editor wrote the
following editorial to confuse MS
readers we do not know, but before
commenting on Georges compression
al record he should brush up OF how
George voted.
We print the editorial in full, to show
a brand of Misrepresentation which
cannot do Congressman Young any
good. 1t is to be hoped that the edi
tor erred and that the misrepresenta
ton was not deliberate. The editorial
follows:
Congressman Young has been
faithful public servant and de.
serves reelection. His vote on
the Panama canal tolls has been
much discussed and used as a
club against him. Vet, any we'll
informed farmer from North
Dakota would have voted az Mr..
Young did-against free tolls for
American vessels. The canal
has been built and must be paid
for by someone. Why not the
large steamship companies? The
people Of North Dakota will get
little profit from the canal. OF
course, It has been the rule in
the past to give large corpora.
tions, such - railroads and
others, large free grants Of land
or other valuable concessions,
but we do not believe that 10 the
spirit Of the age. Why build a
railroad or a canal and let some
one use it free, Of charge?
Voters of the Second district
George NJ. Young VOTED TO GIVE
THE COASTWlSE SHIPPING MON
OPOLY FREE TOLLS THROUGH
THE PANAMA CANAL. Otherwise
the sentiments in the Sykeston Trib
me are correct. George would have
voted right if he had not voted wrong
on this issue. In fairness to its read
ers, the Sykeston Tribune should cor
rect the error. But will it?

Some two weeks later, before the
senate committee, after hours OF
cross-examination and evasive an

same admission. His testimony is as
follows:
20. So that rule necessitates in

grain under these conditions, a uni.

only because of the varying freight

that true? y

no competition?

Little comment upon this rule is
necessary. Competition in country
bids is eliminated by direct rule. The
Albert Dickinson Seed company was
forced out of the Chamber in 1906,
because they insisted on paying more
than the Chamber rule permitted for
choice seeds. The rule was passed for
the benefit of millers and elevator
men, who cOntro; the Minneapolis

grain up. So the buying interests die.

Ever since there has been a market
for real estate. persons who have had
to do with it in professional capacity
have fully realized that it's greatest
weakness as an investment is because
it was not regarded as liquid asset
by persons accustomed to quick action
with their investments. This feature
is a indsputable as the fact ii firmly
establishes, that there are no forms of
employing money more securely than
the security offered by real estate,
says "The National Real Estate Jour
nal"
Generally speaking. real estate is
held as an obscure asset by many per
sons of means. Correction OF this
prejudice is one Of the possibilities OF
an authorized and well governed mar
ket place for real estate securities

which all entanglements and doubts
have been removed. and can be as
quickly understood and liquldated as
