MINISTER
AGAIN IN L|ME[|GHT

Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 23.-
Rev Arthur Worthington, known
to the old settlers OF Grand Forks
as General A. B. Ward. famous
barrister, orator. politician, one
time, prospective candidate for Unit
ed States senator from North Da>
kota, swindler, wife deserter, and
bigamist, last week was unfrocked
by the North River Presbytery at
Poughkeepsie, N. r, having serv-
ed as minister Of the Presbyterian
church at New Hamburg, N. Y, for
six years. Investigation into bis
past showed that he had eight
wives. eleven aliases and two pri-
son terms. 5,,
Stranger than Fiction
The life story Of General" A.
B. Ward, as unfolded to the aston
ished elders of his church, was
shown to be stranger than fiction.
While the members of the little
church at New Hamburg, N. ",
listened to the Reverend Arthur
Worthington thunder against drink
and vice from the pulpit they were
being counseled by a man whose
career as a criminal has seldom
been equalled in the underworld.
Swindled Million
To the list Of his wives contain
ed in the police list a few more
could be added. His harvest of
half century Of separating per-
sons who conhded in him from
their earnings has been estimated
by the authorities even as high as
$1.O0O,OO0.
The Grand Forks Record
General A. B. Ward came to
Grand Forks in the later part Of
the eighties and became connect
ed with a local law firm in good
standing. He stumped the terri
tory for Benjamin Harrison and
was widely known as speaker Of
ability. AS a delegate from this
district, he participated in the terri
torial convention at Aberdeen in
1888 and was there subjected to a
vitriolic attack by Senator Petit.
grew, who claimed that Ward had
been Of the "home guard during
the civil war. In his reply, Ward
rose to the highest pitch OF orator.
ical power. Tearing his shirt from
| his bosom, he displayed a. great
scar, ripping his sleeve from bis
left arm he showed the delegates
a cut, which he claimed to have re-
cefved in battle; pressing the Jug
lar vein he emitted a stream Of
blood from his mouth, and then
proceeded to defy Pettigrew or any
body else to venture the assertion,
that he. General A. B. Ward, had
failed to respond to his country's
call during the civil war.

upon the bier as token of our love
for each act he would now sleep be-
meath imitless bower.
Life is only short span lying be-
tween two eternities. In vain we
strive to penetrate that which lies be-
yond. Of the mountains which seem
eternal, of the rivers whose waters
seem to flow on forever, of the stars
which shed their rays of light across
life's pathway when it seems over
whelmed in sorrow, we ask if we shall
meet our friend again. There is no
response. From the stilled voice of
him who has been called there is no
word. But our faith is supreme. The
star Of hope sheds her radiance to
brighten and to bless, and the glory
and sunshine of friendship and love
brings to us the rustic of angels
wings. So why should we be sad and
grieve except for the sadness and
grief of a temporary parting? He has
only preceded us for brief space of
time. We must and will follow when
our span of life has been completed,

Major McClaUe For Congress

The chances for the election of
Major S. Wood McClave for Congress
at the coming primaries continue to
brighten. It would be public calam-
ity not to select this good man for
this position he runs for. Major Nc
Clave has some of the cleanest cut
ideas as well as ideals, about what is
good for the public of any man in the
entire state of New Jersey. He has
never yet been on false trail, and
always gets down to the meat of what
he undertakes. He knows the wants
of the country about as we'll as any
man, and if he were in Congress
would undoubtedly make name for
himself and his state. The country
has all too few Major McClaves.

Second Rate Americans.

Meredith Nicholson, a prominent
author of the day, has written an
article attempting to prove that
America is run by second-rate men.
He seeks to prove that we do not pay
our diplomats, judges, and the
like, enough to warrant their taking
on the burden of government.
Mr.. Nicholson seeks to establish
the fact that only Indifferent men can
be induced to hold Office because we
do not pay enough. For instance, the
Lord Chief Justice of England has a
salary of $4,000, while our Supreme
Court Chief Justice gets only SIS, 900.
Our ambassador to England re-
ceives $17,500 and pays his own house
rent and expenses. The English
Minister at Washington gets $4,000
and a fine massion free.
Many men have gone into public
office who could earn more elsewhere.
Perhaps Mr.. Nicholson places a
mans ability to earn money above his
patriotic impulses to serve his country.
And as logical as his reasoning APP
pears, we still believe we have the
first-rate man in office and not the
second-rater. We may prove any
thing by sophistry. That the moon
is made of green cheese is easily
proven with premisis to back the
statement.
For instance: The moon is either
made of green cheese or it isn't. It
isn't, therefore, it is. That is about
as sound as Mr.. Nicholson's logic
about second-rate men in America.

A BOROUGH Family Dinner

1t is rather surprising that the bor-
ough dinner which was given some
ten years ago with such marked sue
ses at the Grantwood Hotel has never
been repeated On that occasion the
borough literally met, and all the prin-
cipal interests of it's communal life
were given expression through their
qualified speakers. The present
president Of the borough council, it
will be recalled, presided in fitting
manner, and addresses of an inspir-
ing and inspired nature touching on
the town were uttered. The affair
was a big-hearted, neighborly COM
munion, fine, happy reunion of the
family of citizens in which were
mingled sober discussion and harm
less entertainment and refreshment.
But never since that date has the
family met. True its members have
been living in the same municipal
dwelling place.; some have left us,
and others have come to US, but it
is as if the family while living IN the
same house had never once gathered
together around the family board.
New homes have come and new faces
appeared, but the essential charm and
character of the geography and its
resident society have not altered. Is
it not about time that we had an old
home night to re-arouse our interest
in ourselves and in the town that we
call home?

Mfantile Paralysis

Indications are that the epidemic of
infantile paralysis that has for sew
eral weeks created such a terrible
scare all over the country, is fast
waning, and that possibly by the mid
die of September it will have taken
itself away, as mysteriously as it
came.
AS yet medical science is as much
in the dark over the causes of this
awful disease as it ever was. It's
battling course is the puzzle of the
world. 1t breaks out where there
could not be the suggestion of filth,
and it does not go where there may
be tons of it. One of it's peculiari-
ties is the per centage of dupli-
cation in families where it has ap-
peared. 1t seldom takes more than
one in household, though there have
been few rare exceptions.
Perhaps the most sensible as we'll
as satisfactory theory about it is
that it is not contagious, but only
epidemic. This is emphasized in the
case in Fifth avenue, New York, the
only one in that thoroughfare, yet it
got there. If it were known not to
be contagious, it's dread would be
largely removed, and whole COM
munities, would not flee and quaran-
tine against it as they do.
AT any rate, it's ravages have been
severe and heart-breaking in places.
And all of this is made the greater
because of the deep and awful mys-
terry surrounding it. Where it strikes
it brings terror.

Human Sympathy.

No sentiment of the human heart
carries with it the deep conviction of
truth as honest, sincere sympathy.
In our hours of anguish and suffer-
ing we are often lifted up from the
depths of despair into the realms of
hope through a kindly word, a
thoughtful act, or helpful look. If
all of the good things done through
sympathy were grouped together they
would make pile bigger than the
world. The heart that does not re-
spond to tender thought sent in a
moment of trial and trouble is callous
indeed. Of all the words in the book,
none pulses so much that is wonder
full as sympathy. It's magic value
is as soothing as mothers love.

Clifside Park Well Named

Cliffside Park is well named. Stu
ated on high ridge with precipitous
cliffs, and the whole giving forth on
one of the lordliest rivers and city
panoramas in the world; and, more
over, set deep in virgin woodlandJ it
forms a noble cliffside as well as a
beautiful, natural park. Then, again,
two miles above begins what has been
called the greatest park in The
world" the Palisades Interstate Park.
Adjoining Immediately on the south
is the immense new park Of the Hud-
son County Park Commission, part of
it reaching down to the waters of
the Hudson.
Yet with all these scenic advan-
tages the borough of Cliffside Park,
as, indeed, practically the entire Sec
ton of the Palisades from Fairview
to Fort Lee, has no bit of park land
which it can call it's own to be re-
served forever for a public beauty
spot.
The suggestion has been often
made that the strip of land lying be-
tween the new high school and the
river be secured in whole or in part
for park purposes under as favorable
financial conditions as possible, and
possibly with county aid. There are
few lovelier bits of woods on the Pail
sades than this and it's preservation
would be desirable thing.
