In re Farmers General Service Co.
1t is with renewed pleasure that l
noticed tonight on page 2 of The
Dickinson Press the statement rela-
tive to our old time friend, S. P.
Lesselyoung.
went back to my old files and got
your issue of September 30th 1911.
I re-read your editorial and the local
therein referring to me.
l also re-read the article and adver-
tisement of the Farmers General
Service Company on page 2 of The
Fargo Forum and Daily Republican
of October 2, 1911.
also re-read the demands of the
Farmers General Service Company
and the Empire Realty & Investment
Company.
also re-read the exemplified copy
of the proceedings in the Federal
Court of Minnesota relative to Mr..
5: r. Lesselyoung and his entering a
plea of guilty and his receiving at
the hands of Hon. Wilbur S. Booth
his sentence of $4,000 fine, which
was paid. I re-read the Indictment
consisting Of eight counts.
At the last term of the District
Court held in Golden Valley county,
his claimed bona-fide purchaser for
value one F. H. Peterson, of the
Union State Bank of Minneapolis,
Minn., failed, neglected or forgot to
appear and prove his ownership of
| the notes sued upon.
The cases were dismissed with
costs taxed against Mr.. Peterson.
The two judgments stand of record
against Mr.. Peterson in Golden Valley
County, N. Dak., at this time and
they have not been satisfied. Mr.
Peterson has been called upon, in
writing, to pay the same but ignores
all letters referring thereto.
| If I understand the facts correctly
Mr.. Lesselyoung was allowed to GO
upon payment of the fine, small as it
was made, under condition that he GO
and sin no more. Your article leads
me to believe that he is SHINING again
in a dangerous jurisdiction.
| I neglected to state that I re-read
the demanded retractions which were
not signed by me; but refused.
| I am pleased to note that you still
keep posted with respect to "The
Friend of the Farmer"
Very truly yours,

GARDNER FOR A NAVY
ECLIPSING BRITAIN'S
Massachusetts Representative Says the United States
Should Be Rendered Safe From Any
Country in the World.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Instead Of a
navy sufficiently strong to defend the
United States against any nation except
Great Britain. Representative Gardner of
Massachusetts urged to-day that the
American navy be made second to none
In the world. and 80 expressed himself
In a letter to Representative Lemuel p.
Padgett. chairman Of the Committee on
Naval Affairs.
In his letter Mr.. Gardner says:
"vou are familiar with the fact that
for years the building programme Of
the General Board Of the Navy has con-
templated a navy strong enough to make
us safe against any nation except Great
Britain.
In the present war my sympathles
and. as believe those OF the country.
are entirely with the Allies yet after
speaking repeatedly In many different
States. l am convinced thai our people
desire to have the United States made
safe against any nation on earth, ,nclud-
ing Great Britain.
1T II my deliberate Judgment that
Americans by an overwhelming major
ity do not wish the safety Of the United
states TO be dependent on the friendli-
ness Of any nation whatever.
Defence Against Britain.
81 think that you will agree with me
as to the necessity of determining as
accurately as possible whether or no,
expert opinion considers ina the pro.
posed building programme calls for a
navy adequate to insure our defence
against Great Britain. I confess I fear
that 1t falls short Of that standard.
You know that the naval plan as
laid out by the general board over ter
years q contemplated forty-eight bat.
tleships less h a twenty years old, bu,
avowedly It did not undertake to make
US safe against an attack by Grea,
Britain's fleet.
II am somewhat concerned to hnd
that the proposed plan when completed
will only give us forty-six battleship,
and battle cruisers less than twent,
years old. OF curse I realize that bat.
tleships are much more powerful thar
they were when the hitherto existins
plan Of the general board was formu
lated. but that observation applies e
the battleships Of foreign navies as wei
as to our own.
The new programme recommend.

The visit to this country Of Baron
Eiichi Shibusawa. one OF the most dis

business men, was announced yesterday
by J. $. Shinoda OF 1872 High street,
Brooklyn, who is in close touch with

%companied by eight other leading Japa-

the Morgan of Japan on his visit to
New York in 1902. in AN address to
members Of the Japanese Chamber Of
Commerce In Toxic on the eve OF his
departure. said:

that each year for the next Ave years
the construction Of a liberal number OF
dr~eadnoughts or battle cruisers shall be
voted by Congress. Many persons ave
jumped to the conclusion that this prof.
ect will take only five years to execute.
OF course this Is an error.
at Is true that II the plan II carried
out the ships will all be voted In five
years. but voting a d~readnought Is ono
thing and building n d~readnousht Is
quite another thing.
The ~dreadnoughts Oklahoma and Ne
vada have Just been finished and viii,

voted to construct these d~readnoughts
on March Z. 1911, four years and seven
months ~ Consequently a five year
appropriation programme means actually
n nine year building programme before
the project is completed.
Early Building Urged.
1T seems to me that we should look
into the possibility OF acc~elerating this
programme. IL we must spend the money
sooner or later. why not build up the
navy rs rapidly as possible. ven II II

part OF prudence to build as speedily as

Untruthful James

A modern Ananias, who styles himself "Truth-
ful James," has been filling whole columns of the
Kankakee papers with paid advertisements purport-
ing to show that voting city dry ruins it financially
Truthful James evidently places a very low
estimate on the intelligence of his Kankakee readers
for his chief line of argument consists in showing that
certain pieces of property-carefuly selected for his
purposen Decatur and other dry cities are reported
by hearsay being quoted at less today than they
were in 1913 when these cities were wet.
Hasn't Truthful James heard that property in
Chicago, New York and every city in the country
has declined in price during the present period of
financial depression? Doesn't he know that building
operations have fallen off and that bank cearings have
suffered in wet cities than in dry? Let
him talk with the first school boy he meets and stop
writing such silly nonsense.

indifference upon the part of the city officials towards
law enforcement and was challenged by the admins
tration to make good his charges. Nothing daunted
he replied that on the following Sunday he would pro-
duce facts that would convince everybody. When the
time came, the church was crowded to overlooking

The Saloon the Foe of Workmen

OF all the claims advanced by the liquor interests
the most pernicous and prepostcrous is their
ton that the saloon is the workngmans friend Every
workman who stops to think knows that all the
loonkeeper wants is his pay check If workman
takes drop too much and gets hilarious, the saloon
keeper promptly throws aside his mask of friendship
and calling cop who is always nearby for that pur
pose has his erstwhe "frend" hurried to the police
station.

following classification of arrests in that city:
