The Dickinson press., 1916-03-18

One of the most interesting among
recent political events in North Da-
kota is the publication in the Nor
manden, of Grand Forks, of an arti-
Gle giving some of the inside history
of the Non-Partisan league, with a
statement of it's purposes and
methods. The Normanden is the
most widely read paper published in
the Norwegian language in North
Dakota, and has been prominently
identified with the so-called progress
sive faction of the republican party.
It will be shock, therefore, to
many persons who have been led to
believe that the Non-Partisan
league is really organized for the
purpose of effecting political re-
forms to find that organization de-
nounced by such a paper as the
Normanden as "the most dangerous
political machine in North Da-
kota."
The Press has obtained an Eng
lish translation of the Normanden
article, which follows:
The most dangerous political ma
chine in North Dakota today is the
Non-Partisan league. It is danger:
GUS, because, in it's management, it
represents the most extreme case OF
bossism known to the political his
tory of the state; because it makes
use of all the tricks, underhanded
tactics and arbitrary methods pc
culiar to that brand of politics; be-
cause it is sailing under false colors
by means of which it has grown
numerically strong and also obtained
an immense capital that can be used
at pleasure of the self-constituted
leaders, who, apparently, are respon-
sible to no one.
The Non Partisan league is not
only the most dangerous political
power in the state; it is at the
present time the strongest. Quietly
the organizers set to work, and as
quietly their agents spread over the
state, until one day the leaders Of
the league considered themselves
strong enough to come out in the
open as political power. The
number of members was so great,
that it was evident that the league
was to be reckoned with if the right
men was behind the organization.
Political parties, candidates and as.
pirants for offices We're duped and
scared out of their boots, and the
newspapers decided either to wait
further developments or they meekly

COUNTY FORGERY CASE
IS AGAIN IN L|MEUGHT

Another chapter in the old county
warrant forgery case is about to be
enacted. At a special meeting of
the city council Thursday afternoon,
decision was made to bring suit
against the Dakota National Bank
and the First National Bank for the
recovery of several thousands of dol
lars of warrants charged back to the
city by the banks. The man who was
county auditor was also treasurer for
the city. He forged a large number
of county warrants and turned them
into the city fund. When it was fin
ally ascertained that these warrants
were forgeries, the banks to protect
themselves charged them back to the
city. AS the forger was heavily
bonded to the county, recovery was
made of the county's loss. But he
only carried small bond as city
treasurer, and as a result the city
recovered its loss but partially. It
cannot be said that the banks were to
blame in the matter as they ac-
cepted the warrants in good faith,
they being properly signed and exc
cuted. Many are of the opinion that
the case is outlawed as several years
have elapsed since the forgeries and
that nothing can be done in the mat
ter at this late date.

FORMER DICKINSON GIRL
DIES IN CALIFORNIA

Friends in the city received the
sad news Wednesday Of the death Of
Mrs. Julian Weir, formerly Miss
Pauline Scofeld, well known in Dick
inson, as the Scofeld family were old
Stark county pioneers, residing in
early days at Gladstone, where
Pauline was born, and later at Dick
inson.
| Mrs. Weir was the second daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. E. L. Scoield. She
was graduated from the Dickinson
high school and before leaving with
the family for San Diego, about eight
years ago, did stenographic work for
the firm Of Crawford & Burnett.
After the family moved to California
Miss Pauline studied one year in
Boston.
Three years ago this April she was
married to Julian Weir, stationery
salesman and until this past Christ
mas was located at Los Angeles,
where her sister, Mrs. Arthur Stilbolt,
also resides at present. Since then
they began housekeeping in San
Diego, the home city Of her parents
and older sister, Miss Edna.
Deceased passed away on Wednes-
day afternoon. She was 50 years of
age and leaves besides her husband,
parents and sisters, her first born, a
little daughter only a few days old.
Old friends in this community ex-
tend their sincere sympathy to the
SOrrOWing ones.

GENERAL INSURANCE
AGENCY ESTABLISHED

The Norwich Union Fire Insurance
Society, one of the solid old line COM
panies, has established special
agency at Dickinson, in charge of M.
L. Ayers. The territory allotted to
the new office is the entire western
half of North Dakota, the eastern
half of the state being, as hereto
fore, under the supervision of the
Minneapolis office.
This is the first time that an old
line insurance company has estab-
lished an agency of this kind west
Of the Missouri river, most of the
headquarters being either at Fargo
or Minneapolis.
Mr.. Ayers expects to cover a large
part of his territory by automobile.
He will have the appointment of
agents in places where the Norwich
Union is not already represented and
the inspection of agencies, adjust
ment of losses, etc.
The opening of a special office in
Dickinson is deserved recognition
of the rapid development and
growing Importance of the western
portion of the state. - 81.
The Norwich Union is one of the
strong fire insurance companies and
has won an enviable reputation for
liberal dealing with it's patrons.
This company writes farm as well
as city and village property.

DICKINSON Man DIRECTOR
new INSURANCE COMPANY

W. l.. Richards, president Of the
Merchants National Bank of Dickin-
son, was named a member of the
board of directors of the newly or
ganized Provident Insurance Co.,
which will have its headquarters at
Bismarck. There has been consider
able demand for a life insurance COM
pany with it's head office in the west
ern portion of the state, and the
Provident was established to provide
for this want. The new company
will deposit it's surplus cash in the
territory where it does it's business;
thereby keeping the money in circu-
lation at home. w. G. Taylor, state
commissioner Of Insurance, is presi-
dent Of the company; F. L. Conklin,

tend schools if within an easy dis
tance. This is the same with all of
our present state educational insti-
tutions, as in the eight counties
where these schools are located,
nearly 40 per cent of the attendance
is composed of pupils from those
eight local counties.
It will be cheaper to erect normal
school building in Dickinson than
anywhere else in the state. We
have the brick, and we have an
abundance of coal. Both of these
can be bought here cheaper than at
any other point. The site has been
arranged for-everything is ready.
In building normal school in
Dickinson we are not taking any
thing away from the other institu-
tions, or practically nothing. West
of the river we have nearly II per
cent of the total population of the
state, while we have only three per
cent of the attendance at the
state schools. We are not getting
what we are paying for.

REGULAR ARMY OFFICER
TO INSTRUCT COMPANY K

Sergeant ]. A. Boone, of the regu-
lar U. S. army, will be at the
armory today (Friday) and Saturday,
Sunday and Monday, March 18th to
goth, to give the members of Com
pany K additional instruction along
military lines, which they are most
in need of. Captain C. N. Barker
states that every member is ordered
to be present on the dates men
toned.
The drill this (Friday) evening will
begin promptly at o'clock and con-
tinue for only one hour, so that those
who wish may have an opportunity
of attending the st. Patrick play in
the opera house following the drill.
The hour for beginning drill on the
subsequent evenings will be made
known Friday night.
On Monday evening, following the
drill, Captain Barker will give a
lunch to the Company members, and
an enjoyable time is anticipated.
Company X needs more recruits
and every young man in the city
and vicinity is urged to join the
company. Do it now.

president of the National Parks

been rendered an invitation to at
tend the sessions of the Washing
ton State Highways Association in
Spokane the later part Of this month,
with his travelling expenses paid by
that association. Mr.. Turner is one
Of the best road boosters in the
Northwest, and his opinions are re-
garded as valuable by all the associa-
tions. He alone, was practically in
strumental in securing the Red Trail

fact that Mr.. Turner is a resident of

DICKINSON MAY
GET MAMMOTH
FACTORY PLANT
GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY
INVESTIGATING LOCAL
CLAY BEDS.
Found Dickinson Clay Suitable For
Manufacture of Their Tremen-
dous Supply of Insulators.

Dickinson may become the seat Of
one Of the largest clay manufactur-
ing factories in the United States.
This may seem at this time a rather
overdrawn statement, but the PROPOSE
tion not only seems possible, but also
probable.
Several months ago w. S. Russell,
manager of the Dickinson Fire &
Pressed Brick Co., received requests
for samples of clay from the Cen
eral Electric Co., one of the largest
electrical concerns in the world. Mr..
Russell responded and at once ex-
perts and chemists of the company
began a series Of tests with the
Dickinson clay, which is admittedly
the finest in America. That satisfac-
tory tests were made is evidenced by
the fact that the great electrical
company is now asking for complete
facts in regard to probable prices,
extent of the deposits, etc.
The above company uses an almost
incomprehensible amount Of clay
each year for the manufacture OF
electrical insulators. Their present
plant is located at Schenec-
tady, New York, but the clays there
are of much inferior quality, and
the quantity is rapidly diminishing.
Now the company is looking for a
new source of supply, and it is only
reasonable to suppose that their
thorough investigation here may lead
to the erection of mammoth manu-
featuring plant. :.
Large plants for the making OF
pottery, chinaware and other clay
products will surely locate here some
day, as the clay obtained here in
unlimited abundance, is equal to
that of the fine clay beds in Europe
Brick manufacturing is already
firmly established here. Two plants
now doing business here were erected
and put into operation at an expendi-
ture of nearly a half million dollars
1t was money well invested, howsSsal
as some of the finest pressed brick
in America is now made here. Dick
inson brick has been used in the
erection of some of the finest
buildings from Chicago to the Pacific
coast, and has also been used in the
erection of a number of splendid
government buildings.
Now there is every indication that
the clay from the local beds will be
used in another industry-that of
making billions of insulators for the
big electrical trust.

.CURFEW ORDINANCE IS
AGAIN TO Be ENFORCED

Mayor ALT. White announces that
the curfew ordinance will again be
enforced in the city of Dickinson,
beginning with tonight (Friday).
The blowing of the curfew whistle
was dropped several months ago upon
request of number. of citizens of
the city, but number of complaints
have been filed with the mayor with
in the past week, hence his action
in the matter. He has given instruc-
tions to the police that the rule must
be rigidly enforced, and parents
should urge their children to gov
ern themselves accordingly. One
long blast Of the power house whistle
at 9 o'clock will be the curfew signal.

The Non-Partisan League--The Most
Dangerous Political Machine in State

Joined the band wagon to bask in the
sunshine of popularity surrounding
the new movement.
From a progressive point of view
there at first was no real reason to
look upon this movement with dis
pleasure. The only thing about it
which might have been viewed with
suspicion was the secretive methods
employed by the paid agents of the
organization. But that could, of
course, be explained in various ways,
and the majority of the people was
inclined to let it go at that. It is
safe to say that the Non-Partisan
league up till the present time has
enjoyed the active and moral sup
port of progressive people all over
the state, regardless of political par
ties and fractional leaning.
Lately, however, there have foated
to the surface several things which
tend to show that everything is not
as it should be within the league.
There is reason to believe that the
leaders, whoever they may be, do not
intend to act in good faith towards
the members. Their manner of pro-
ceding too often taste of gang poll
tics, and they do not come out in
the open,. not even as far as their
own members are concerned. Sc
cretiveness in politics is just what
the American people have fought all
these years,-that, and Bossism. If
we shall leave to a few men to man.
age our political affairs, then it
makes no difference in the long run
if the bosses are named Tom, Dick or
Harry.
Out in full view and broad day
light must be brought every great
issue, if it really shall be of benefit
to the people. It must be debated
from every point and weight on the
scales of common sense and public
opinion, and pass, if it shall come up
to the expected standard. That is
not always an easy road to the goal,
but cause that cannot come out
victorious through such paths is
scarcely deserving of victory. This
has been proven so many times.
When Normanden now warns the
electors of North Dakota not to fol-
low the Non-Partisan league blindly
and meekly sanction everything its
leaders see fit to decide upon it is
well aware of the responsibility it
shoulders. It also knows it's stand

ENTHUSIASTIC BOOSTER MEET.

Sound Facts and Figures Given That

A splendid booster session was
held by the Congregational Brother
hood on Monday evening. An invita-

this invitation was accepted. The
committee members were glad they
came when they found the large
tables loaded with good things to eat
Nearly 60 business and professional
men Of the town sat down to q
bounteous repast, after which the
program of the evening was taken
up. After a short musical selection
by F. II. Hart, Hon. Louis F. Craw-
ford Of Sentinel Butte, president OF
the Board of Regents of State Edu-
cational Institutions, was called to
the floor to state his views in re-
gard to the establishment of a
state normal school in Dickinson
Mr.. Crawford is thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the educational situation in
the state and gave facts and fig
ures that proved mighty interesting
to all present. Following Mr.. Craw-
ford's address an interesting discus
sion of the proposition was taken up
The following facts were brought
out at the meeting:
There are 13 counties west of the
Missouri river with a population of
1O4,739. In all of these counties
there is not a single state education
al institution.
From these counties there are 2e
young people in attendance at the
state university at Grand Forks
about two for each county. About Sc
pupils from this territory attend the
agricultural college at Fargo, and "a
the Valley City normal school. From
these counties there are four in at
