TEMPERANCE PROGRAM

The First M. E. Sunday school held
their semi-annual temperance pro-
gram Sunday, July 4th, conducted by
the schools temperance superintend-
ent, Mr.. E. S. Davis. Mr.. Geo. Wat
terman, Ward county temperance sup
erintendent, gave an address upon to-
bacco, principally to the boys. One Of
his illustrations was the Minot Normal
graduating class with over thirty girl
graduates and only one boy showing
up wherein tobacco could be traced to
the principal cause. Fred Groninger
also spoke upon the same subject. Aft
er, sitting and listening to Mr.. Gron-
inger's talk one can readily see that
he has never used tobacco. Rev. Olsen
of Minot gave a temperance sermon,
using the Massachusetts fish net as an
ILLUSTRATION. It is very evident that
no one left the meeting without being
impressed by this magnificent sermon
There also were several other short
speeches interspersed with music and
closed by few chosen words by Mr..
Davis. The seats were more than full,
showing appreciation of many for the
good work these people are doing. We
as an onlooker are hoping that these
programs can be held oftener if pos
sible.

wholly fathom.

besides. l thought well, 1t doesn't

And before he could return the
leave-tahing word, she was gone.
Raymer's prediction that the real
trouble would begin when the attempt
should be made to start the plant with
imported workmen was amply fulfilled
during the militant week which fol-
lowed the opening of hostilities. Each
succeeding day saw the inevitable in
crease of lawlessness. From taunts
and abuse the insurrectionaries passed
the tramrish place-takers came in any
considerable numbers, were of daily
occurrence. and the tale of the wound
ed grew like the returns from Il bat
tie. BY the middle of the week Ray
mer and Griswold were asking for a
sheriff's posse to maintain peace In
the neighborhood of the plant; and
were getting their first definite hint
that someone higher up was playing
the game of politics against them.
"No, gentlemen: I've done all the
law requires and little MORE" was
the sheriff's response to the plea for
better protection
"In other words. Mr.. Bradford.
you've got your orders from the men
higher up, have your" rasped Girls
void, who was by this time lost to
all sense Of expediency.
81 don't have to reply to any suc',
charge as that" said the chief peace of
ficer, turning back to his desk; and SO
the brittle little conference ended.
"All OF which means that We shall
lose the plant guard of deputies tina,
Bradford has been maintaining" com
mented Raymer, as they were de
scending the courthouse stairs; and
again his prediction came true. Later
in the day the guard was withdrawn;
and Griswold, savagely reluctant, was
forced to make a concession repeated
ly urged and argued for by the Older
men among the strikers. namely, thai
the guarding of the company's prop
erty be entrusted to a picked squad o.
the ex-employees themselves.
During these days of turmoil ant
rioting the transformed idealist passed
through many stages Of the journe,
down a certain dark and mephitic val
ley not of amelioration. Fairness wa'
gone, and in its place stood angry re
sentiment, ready to rend and tear. Pitt
and truth were going; the daily re
