a crime, and on the other side Of
the line it is neither sin nor crime.
By our greatest jurists, such laws
have been denounced and held void.
Now, sir, let me tell you that I
am not above working with my own
hands to make an honest living. /
own good farm and grow carloads
of pigs and lots of corn and grain,
and I care little for my office only
so far as it puts me in a position to
maintain the right. and to denounce
the wrong. 1 hope the people did
not elect me, by great majority,
to come here and to act the part OF
coward or dummy.
And now, sir, let me ask you a
few questions:
Do you know that God made the
heavens and the earth and rested
only when his work was done; and
hat the time for man to rest Is
yhen he has done his work, or when
he is tired?
Do you know there is class OF
men who never earn their bread by
The sweat of their brow; who never
10 an honest days work, and who
i've on the labor of others and for
hat reason they grow narrow-mind.
I'd and illiberal?
Do you know that under the con-
:titution of the state every man has
right to live and prosper and to
,ursue and obtain safety and hap
,iness; and is it not the duty of the
lergy to know and to teach the peo'
Vie how to obtain prosperity and
'lappiness in this world as we'll as il
he next, and is not that ducy sad
neglected? a..
Do. you know that the Sabbat!,
ras made for man, and not man fol
he Sabbath, and that it is lawful to
% good and to pull an OK or ar ass
ut of ditch and to pass the con-
ribution box even on the Sabbath
!ay? ..,r... ..,G .....z..s2. II.
Do you know that the intolerance
nd standpatism of those who live
on the labor of others has been >the
great curse of humanity, that it has
made countless thousands mourn
md that it is all contrary to the
humane teachings of the One VINO
is Lord even of the Sabbath day?

COAL NINE CASE
2. ATTRACTS. CROWD

Williston, N. D., Jan. 25.-E. B.
Wareheim was awarded $2,25O for
injuries received at the Husebye &
Ellithorpe coal mine by the verdict
of the jury. 4
The case was the most interesting
so far tried at this term Of district
court. The trial consumed more
than four days and was contested
with all the cleverness possessed by
the attorneys. VIM. G. Owens, of
Williston, and E. r. Sinkler, of Mi
not. were attorneys. for the plain
tiff. and T. F., Craven, Of Palmer,
Craven & Burns, and U. L. Burdick
for the defendants.
The accident happened in 1915
when the plaintiff, Wareheim, as
. sisted in disengaging, the cable that
held the cage and fell with the cage
and a car of coal about seventy feet
to the bottom of the shaft. Besides
broken pones, Wareheim claimed
that his sight and hearing were i'm.
paired and that he is still incapatit-
;ated for work. The total damages
claimed in the suit was s21 900.
The courtroom was packed with
interested spectators during tn
taking of evidence and especiall
when the attorneys pleaded the cas-
before the jury. u. L. Burdick anc
E. R. Sinkler We'd with. each. other
In tossing professional, bouquet'
and heaping ecomiums upon eacf
Others heads. Each vowed etern
al friendship and friendless admir-
alton for the other but warned thf
jury against being unduly swaye
by the eloquent sophistries of th'
other. AS is usual in such cases
!" the verdict was undoubtedly com
promise. =

FRAZIER CALLS HALT
ON CARELESS FILING

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 25.-The
state employe or official or board
member who gets by hereafter with
IN. expense account which will not
stand the strictest scrunity and does
not comply in every technical detail
With the provisions of section 657,
as amended by chapter 244 of the
1915 session laws, will have accom-
plished something.
The auditing board met yester-
day. In the grist of bills were
found several expense accounts not
itemized according to Hoyle. Dates
or details were missing. The eagle
eye of Governor Frazier singled
them out. They were not paid and
will not be paid until they are made
to conform. The governor, as
chairman of the auditing board, does
not question the honesty of the men
who submitted these expense ac-
counts, but he insists that the state
shall be held strictly accountable
for every penny it expeuds and the
states servants for every penny
they receive.
Consequently State Auditor Jor-
genson is today mailing to every
person who has any occasion to
transact official business in the
states behalf letters advising them
that a strict compliance with the
statutes will be expected and that
expense accounts hereafter must be
complete in every respect.

DRASTIC ACTION BY
STARK co. SHERIFF

Dickinson, N. D.. Jan. 25.-Every
liquor shipment made into Stark
county is being confiscated on ar
rival by the sheriff, who holds the
liquor for delivery to the consignees
only when they prove 1t is for their
personal use.
Already seven drayloads Of liquor
have been seized in Dickinson.
States Attorney Bun geson launched
the campaign that is probably the
most remarkable in the states his.
tory, as it gives officials absolute
supervision over the traffic.
So far, only small portion of the
liquor shipped in has been claimed.
The Webb-KenyoS act is the basis
for the campaign.

SCHOOL DIRECTORS
EXCEED BOND LIMIT

Kenmare, N. D., Jan. 25.-When
the school directors of Kenmare set
about building new school house
they became 80 enthusiastic that ap-
parently they forgot all about such
thing as a bonded debt limit. In
any event they exceeded that limit
by 100000. and when the contract
ors came round to collect, the tax
payers advised them to get their
money from the directors. The con-
tractors were insistent, and the
school district brought suit against
the directors for the amount in ex-
cess. The action waS argued In su-
preme court last week, and the de
cision Of that tribunal is awaited
with much interest, as this is the
first time the point has been raised
in just this way.

ITS WORTH CARE: I.
FUL CONSIDERATION

The farmer VINO owns mis- farm
and has a snug bank account con-
cludes that he will experiment with
small herd of pure bred Clydes,
Percherons, Shorthorns, Cotswolds,
Dorics or Barred Rocks, or that he
will SOW half section to corn, al
falfa, fax, rye, timothy, peas, or
even peanuts, is quite justified in
making the experiment. He is
taking a chance within his means.
He may win out In the enterprise.
He is public benefactor. His ef-
forts make for true progress. What
should we think OF this farmer,
however, If he should exhaust his
bank account, mortgage his farm
and strain his credit to go into all
of these in one and the same year?
At the end of two or three years
what would be his rating in the
community or Bradstreets? He
would land exactly where the farm
er landed who broke up several ssc>
tions and sowed it in flax when the
drought struck it. Down ana out
The state of North Dakota at the
present moment proposes to launch
out into a great variety Of eyperl-
ments. 1t proposes to 60 into el-
most every form of commercial act!-
witty that has to do with the manu-
featuring and marketing of the pro-
ducts Of the state. Terminal ele-
vators, -four mills, packing plants,
banking, loans, insurance, are a
part Of the proposed experiments.
To do this the treasury must be de-
pleted, our credit strained and the
state mortgaged or bonded. 10 the
old charter, called the constitution,
which has given us prosperity for
over a quarter of a century and
made US envied by every state in
the union, must be torn to shreds
and a new charter substituted to
NEE: the needs of our great expert
ment. Is the state any wiser in
taking a long gambling chance than
the farmer just cited? With all
these experiments in full swing
North Dakota will not be assured of
any better markets than she has at
the present time. A farmer with
three fat steers in his corral cannot
control the beef market of the Unit
ed States; no more can the farmers
Of North Dakota control the mar
kets of the world. When we get
our products ground to a pulp we
are compelled to throw it out on the
market in competition with similar
products eIninating from enterprises
which have passed the experimental
stage. BY specialized effort, skill.
ed labor, scientific management and
the mastery Of economic details
bought by half century Of exper
fence the private owned and operat
ed manufacturing plants can back
us clear off the map on the compet-
tive market. Why do we buy our
-four now in Minneapolis with
with scores of -four mills standing
idle over the state? Why do We
ship our cream to Minneapolis and
the weeds growing up around scores
of creameries in this state? What
God-given virtues has state-owned
enterprise over private enterprise?
We believe this Is a good time for
every man-even farmers to ex-
ercise caution and sound business
sense.-The Hannah Moon,
