At that political boost the rail-
roads had their representatives to
swell the reception. They have not
forgotten what Hanna did to help
them out of a bad pickle by his
veto of the bill safeguarding pas
sengers from shyster settlements
for injuries received on board
trains.
The banks undoubtedly had
their representatives there to
meet him in recognition of the
many thousands he saved them
when he vetoed the law which
would have put the banks on the
same footing as the farmer by re-
moving the present unjust five per
cent exemption which the banks
enjoy. but not the farmers.
The food adulterators no doubt
had full delegation there to
shake the governors paw for a
f, lot of good he did their cause
when he vetoed the Ladd A,pro
priatiOn to reimburse Professor
Ladd for the money he spent
fighting the impure food concerns
in the state. The food adulterators
would have been ungrateful in
deed if they failed to be there.
The chances are very strong
that the utility plants in which
Hanna is interested remember
ed what he did for them before
the board of equalization in try
ing to lower their taxes and were
on hand in large numbers.
The Fargo financial institutions
probably turned out en- masse to
greet the governor in recognition
of the fact that he helped them
escape from the board of control
with an assessment of only 25 per
cent while the banks of other
counties got soaked as high as 20
per cent as in the case of Bur-
leigh county.
No doubt all the big corpora
tions sent their trusted men to the
reception to show their aDnrecia-.
ton for his having vetoed the tax
commission bill. OF course
Hanna failed to deliver the goods
and the corporations got on the
tax roll for almost S36.0OO.00. But
Hanna did all he could to prevent
it and the corporations should be
livery grateful to him for showing
his hand and doing all he could t..
save them.
No doubt, every privilege seek
ing influence in the state attended
that reception. but there were
mighty few of the common peo-
pie there. Why should they have
been there?

REASON FOR BRUSSELS FINE.
City Assessed s1,25O,o0o Because
Sale of Dutch NeWsnapers

THE HAGUE, Nov. 10.-The alleg-
ed reason for the recent imposition by
the Germans of fine of $1.250,000 on
the town of Brussels was said to have
been the sale of contraband newspa
pers. 1t was stated that German
secret service officer tried to arrest Bel
gians who were disposing of Dutch
newspapers containing unofficial news,
but that they resisted and were sup
ported by the Brussels policemen. The
news vendors of contraband news have
become something akin TO national
heroes in The Hague, which has been
cut for three months from the outside
world. They have been obtaining from
10 TO ID francs for newspapers. The
Brussels town council had made pro
test against the fine on the ground
| that the German secret service agent
had not informed the news vendors OF
! the ban on the sale of papers and that
the vendors did not know they were
dealing with German. The German
governor general, however, is said tC
have threatened that unless the fine is
paid promptly by tomorrow the Ger
mans will take over the entire city
government of Brussels.

HARD WINTER AHEAD
SAYS CLOUD DIGGER
Connecticut Anonymous Prophet Pre-
diets Record Snow Fall from
Thanksgiving to March.

PACKERSVILLE, Conn, Nov. TO-
For 20 years the residents of eastern
Connecticut have put great confidence
in the semi-annual predictions OF a
local weather wise one, who has so far
succeeded in concealing his identity
under the name of The Cloud Digger.
The great storms of February IL and
IA and March l last year were among
his correct predictions. On November
l he came out with a season S predic-
tions, saying 1--WE are fast nearing the
worst winter in hundred years. 1t
will begin early. Not only will Christ
mas be a white one, but Thanksgiving
| in New England will be a white one
also. The snowfall of the coming win
ter will be the greatest in half a cen
fury. Good sleighing may be looked
for from Thanksgiving day up to the
middle of March, with no bare ground
in sight.
"Ice can be cut before December
and from then on until March. Game
birds and animals will be destroyed BY
the hard winter and there will be mucl
suffering among the poor.
j t'The health of our state will be gen
Ierally good, much better than in opel
winter weather.
There are thousands of persons wh'
Iread and cut out the cloud digger 5 pre-
dictions and hundreds, if not thousands
have the greatest confidence in thei
: ACCURACY.
