RAILROAD CONTINUES TO
SHIP LIQUOR into STATE

Fargo, April 2O.-Ignoring the order
issued by Judge c. A. Pollock of the
Third Judicial district of North Dako-
ia, temporarily restraining the North
ern Pacific from the importation of in
toxicating liquors into North Dakota,
the Northern Pacific was up to 10:30
last night taking and accepting liquor
shipments. 1t was also learned last
night that an official of the Northern
Pacific spent the afternoon here and
instructed local agent to continue to
receive the shipments.
Agent Stoddard stated yesterday aft
ernoon that he had received no orders
from the company ordering shipments
of liquor stopped. Previous to Mr..
Stoddards statement the express
agent of the Northern Pacific stated
that shipments were still being ac-
cepted and that he had received no
orders contrary to those in existence
a. LuC plCoC11L tll1C.
Asked if the shipments he referred
to were being made from St. Paul
through Moorhead or some other point
on the line, he stated they were not.
Asked if the shipments being made
were those filled late Saturday night
and en- route, he stated no. They
were shipments received yesterday
from Moorhead.
Attorney James Witherow when seen
yesterday afternoon stated that he had
not learned whether the liquor dealers
would obey the order which tempo
rarily suspends shipments. There is
one difficult thing about it ALL" said
Attorney Witherow. "The Webb law
aims at liquor shipments contrary to
state laws. No law. prohibits man
from drinking liquor, but the North
Dakota statute is framed against blind
pigs and not private use. 1t makes
it hard for the railroads to discrim.
mate between private and public con-
sumption" Mr.. Witherow stated that
it is very probable that the railroad
will ask for dissolution of the in
junction at the hearing on May 3.

j. OF N. D. GLEE CLUB
IS WELL RECOMMENDED

For ten years the University Of
North Dakota Mems Glee Club has tax.
en- tours through this state and others.
1T has not been till recently that the
Women's Glee Club has taken such
trips. This year the club has been re-
garded by critics competent to judge,
as one of unusual merit.
Prof. H. Alden Enyeart and Profes-
sor Philip Manuel, both voice teachers
in Wesley College Conservatory have
said that the Women's Glee Club of
the University of North Dakota is the
finest they have ever heard. Both men
have travelled widely. For the trip
this spring "a young ladies have been
selected from the full membership of
43.
The young ladies have been chosen
by competition, singing in quartettes
and trios so that each singer on the
trip is independent, thus giving the
club the assurance and precision of at.
tack which is a marked feature of the
programs.
The soloists accompanying the club
include, Mrs. E. A. Arhart, soprano,
who is also chaperoning the party. She
is violinist as well; Miss ~Maude Mar
tyn, soprano, Miss Jennie Gale sopra-
no, Miss Agnes Moe, contralto, Miss
Evelyn Levin, pianiste. William
Wellington Norton, the director, is also
a bass soloist and violinist.

HAVE We LOST
THE n. P. PARK?

Our Civic Improvement League was
considering sometime ago taking up
the matter of making a small park on
the ground just north of our downtown
railroad depot. The affair seems to
have been dropped, however, for
nothing more has come of it. If the
league is going to do anything about
it, it should be done right away. Spring
is here to stay and the time to plant
flower beds is right now.
Jamestown has depot yard, most
striking in appearance on account of
the beauty of it's flowers. We would
suggest that the grounds on the north
side of the depot be seeded to grass
and fenced in. A road might be run
across it to the rear of the express
station for the benefit of the wagons.
The ground between the south side OF
the track and Main street might be
used very nicely for flower beds. The
big Christmas tree which was placed
at the Dakota Drug store corner dur
ing the holidays received much. COM
ment in other cities. Likewise a
beautiful depot park in addition to the
new depot which we now have, would
undoubtedly attract much attention to
Valley City. Let us hope that the I'm
provement league may find some way
to carry out their undertaking this
spring, if possible.

T. r. SUED FOR $4,000

Syracuse, N. Y, April 19.-Theodore
Roosevelt and William Barnes faced
each other in the supreme court when
Barnes suit for libel, demanding $780,
900, against the former president was
called for trial. Barnes and Roosevelt
sat at adjoining tables. Neither paid
any attention to the other. The ex-
animation of talesmen in the special
panel of seventy-fve called for the
case, began as soon as Justice An
drews ascended the bench and opened
the court.
The colonel seemed to be intensely
interested in the answers given by the
talesmen. He leaned far across the
table in front of him so as to catch
every word they said.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB
AND PROGRESS

All progress is change, but not all
change is progress. The great mass
of us human beings prefer the old or
der. We accept precedent without
thought; it is easier to drift than to
swim against the current. The con-
stant inclination of our different e.
ganized activities is to harden into the
rut. But, we are told that I'VE may
not enter the Kingdom of Heaven,
lest ye be born again." Without
change which is progress, we cannot
reach the final goal. We must pro
gress, we must be born again, and
again, and again, each time better
than the last.
1t is only recently in the worlds his.
tory, that the reformer was allowed
to live. Great inventors, who have
changed only mechanical ways of do
ing things have paid for their thought
with their lives. Great teachers who
have dared to see beyond the petty
philosophy of their times, have been
sacrificed by those who believed in the
existing order. The thinker of new
thoughts which would bring about
change had always been made to suf-
fer, but-and here is the hope for a
fuller future-less and less, as time
goes on.
The modern commercial organiza-
tion, where it is alive and active must
and does, suffer criticism, which has
always fallen to the reformer, for ita
work is to initiate change, to bring
about the right kind of progress The
modern Commercial club must realize
that there is room for improvement,
and it must work for that improve
ment. In bringing about change, 1t
must expect to work counter to the be-
Iliefs of those who are satisfied to &C.
cept the old order and who do not
care to progress. This is history.
This is life.
Careful, consistent progress brought
about through the study Of civic prob.
lens by citizens working through their
commercial organizations must even
tually make for greater, better, more
useful American cities.
