A few weeks ago the Pioneer Express
published an item in its news column in
reference to meeting of the directors of
the Crystal Farmers Cooperative store,
stating there was an assessment on the
stockholders in the neighborhood of SIS
600 to close up the business. The item
was published to show the uncertainty
of mercantile business. We we're criti-
cised by the Crystal Call and the Non.
partisan press for not stating that the
disasterous fire at Crystal had much to
do with causing the assessment. 1t mat
ters but little to the farmers who have
to put up the assessment, we imagine,
they are that much out. II our con-
temporaries see an opportunity to divert
the public mind from the uncertainty of
investing their money in the mercantile
business for someone else to handle they
have accomplished their purpose.

ions. After election, but before the con-
vening of the session, Mr.. LaMoure
came to this Office in search of the Kan.
sas prohibition law. Naturally, we were
little curious and asked him what he
wanted that law for, and he replied
about like the following, "Well, North
Dakota is going 10 have prohibition
law and if SO we should have good one,
and on inquiry l find that Kansas has
about the best law of any prohibition
state" During the next session of the
legislature prohibition law similar to
that of Kansas with some improvements,
was passed and as publicly acknowledge
ed by the leading prohibitionists, it
could not have been passed at that time
without the assistance of Mr.. LaMoure.
MIR. LaMoure customarily looked to
help anybody needing assistance. Many
a pioneer on these prairies has grateful
recollections Of his assistance both with
encouraging words and actual pecuniary
help. Many young man in those early
days, found friend that gave him
political start, that perhaps ended in the
highest Offices of the state.-but some of
these forgot.
In this sketch, necessarily brief, we
have not tried to include the whole story
of this many.sided man; but rather
speak of the sides of which people at
large saw little of the sides he concealed
SO we'll that even close friends had to
guess his heart by the drops of warm
Fblood that occasionally leaked from his
veins. We are not attempting to place
wings on his dead body; when living he
was very human but he was human in
good works as we'll. We are but telling
how mistaken the world may be even in
the character of man who stood out
for judgement so prominently.
When his days of usefulness had been

sentation, there was touching scene in
VIC oeiloto CuduUcI dC DlSludTCk, Wu6u
the legislators gathered around him to
say goodby. Friends and enemies alike
pressed his hands and expressed thoir
appreciation OF his past labors. Those
who knew him best only knew his best,
they we're not looking for defects.
In his retirement he abjured all poll
tics. We wondered how he could drop
so completely from the political circles
! and the game he had played so long.
knowing his sensitive nature we have
wondered whether he did not retire to
himself with bitter feelings of disap-
polntment because he was not under
stood by the new generation that had
taken the place of the older men. But
disappointed or satisfied, he kept it all
to himself, and spent his time on the
lakes, among the pines that he loved,
practically a solitary, even as he had
been during all the busy scenes of his
former life.
May these new men who now form the
crew and officers of this ship of state do
no worse for the commonwealth than
has Judson LaMoure.

LONG IN LEGISLATURE.
The Hon. Judson LaMoure was the
Nestor of the public men of Dakota.
Fifty-three years ago he was a public
official, serving as sub-agent to the Brule
Sioux; forty-six years ago hs made his
first appearance in a Dakota legislature.
His service in the legislature had been
almost continuous until some years ago,
and be represented the Penn bina district
in the state senate since the creation of
the state. He was one of the few men
who had experienced every phase of the
development of this country from the
wilderness state and he had had a not
able part in shaping the affairs of the
territory and the state. HIS influence,
which was considerable in the earliest
territorial times, never waned and he,
was known as one of the big men of the
senate, and therefore of the state.
BORN IN QUEBEC.
Judson LaMoure was born in FIRE.
Quebec, March 9th, 1889.
His education was completed with two
years IN Frelighsburgh Academy, and he
came to the American west when he was
20 years old. When he arrived at Daven-
port, Iowa, March End, 1859, he was very
close to the confines of civilization aud
he remained on the frontier until the
march of progress carried civilization to
the vanishing point on this continent.
In 1860 he joined the rush Of gold seek
ers to Pixies Peak, but did not find it
the El Dorado be was looking for.
In the fall of that year Mr.. LaMoure
came into Dakota Territory and settled
in Union county and for years was en-
gagged much of the time in the transport
tation business with H. D. Booge & Co.
He became familiar with the Indians
and IN 1865 received an appointment as
sub-agent and was stationed on the Mis-
souri, at the mouth of the White Earth
river. His career was at once adventure
GUS and educational, and he became i
man of influence. In 1870 he gave I'M
his connection with the Indians and
moved into Pembina county, where he
operated a farm and his abilities pre-.
sently called him to public life.
His legislative career includes termFs||
in the territorial assembly in 1872 and
in 1879 he was elected 70 the council
ia 1880 be went 70 the territorial house
and iour years later he again wens to

the council. In 1889 he was elected to
the state senate and he had been re
elected at many succeeding senate elec.
tions. In the Republican party, with
which he was affiliated Senator La.
Moure had always been a power and
was one of the big figures at all party
gatherings and conventions. In the SEN
ate his standing was Indicated by his re-
tention for many years of the chairman
ship of the committee on appropriation
and he was regarded as one of the best
informed men on North Dakota affairs
and most influential in shaping legisla-
tive policy.
Senator LaMoure went into the mer.
camille business in Pembina in 1878 and
had continued in that business at Penn
bina and Neche until few years ago.
He was married December 3rd, 1874, to
Miss Minnie Nelson, and three children

more than two-score years ago this
writer first met Mr.. LaMoure. During
the intervening years both in political
and business circles we have been in
close contact, but as We try to think of
what we may say Of this man, we are
compelled to acknowledge that while we
know of many things he did, we know
vsry little Of what he was, and only by
the former do we know anything of the
latter. Mr.. LaMoure has carried his
ego, his own self, with him to the grave.
III is therefore from such a view point
that we write what follows. We may
Judge somewhat from his acts, but the
Great Judge of all will only Judge of his
motives.
It is autumn in the history of North
Dakota. The leaves that were SO fresh
and green in the spring-time are now old
and withered and are dropping from
their high positions to Mother Earth.
"A generation ago Dakota was on the
western horizon of civilization. Its peo.
pie were MS yet mostly Indians, and the
few whites gathered at two or three
points were of the adventurer class,
their very presence on these wild prairies
atsthat date tells the story of their kind.
\ Among these young. vigorous adven-
turers came one who in stature and
strength, in brain and muscle, matched
tho best Of these who were prima facie,
thus the best of their kind.
From the very beginning Mr.. La Moure
was leader. He was born leader and
men accepted the fact without dispute.
Eser since he began as Indian agent at
Ysnkton he has been conspicuous ag-
tife in political and legislative matters.

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

Still the battle lines in France and
Belgium roar with cannon, still the
nightly patrols 60 on, still the ever in
creasing battles in the air, but still no
great movement of the immense bodies
of contending soldiers, massed five deep
for every yard on the German side and
perhaps even more on the entente front.
The world IS watching and guessing
where, when and how the great conflict
to come will begin, and possibly the
commanders on either side are themsel-
YES doubtful end are busy trying to find
out, for with foreknowledge comes pow
or,
But the delay makes even greater
doubt. Critics of tbs situation are ask
ing all sorts of questions and making all
sorts of guesses. 1t is even doubted
that the Germans will voluntarily start
the fight, it is quite possible that the en-
tentes might assume the offensive. that
the Germans mig ht retire to inner lines
for strategic purposes. =
AS to where the battle may begin, 1t is
but guess. Where and how it may
end is known only to the God of battles.

early this morning had engaged in
lcoting.
Appeals were received from the in
habitants that the advancing Ameri-
cans hasten to their relief. Investi
cation proved, however, that the vii
layers were more excited than injured.
Germans Observe Terms
The second day OF the advance served
to confirm the belief at the American
headquarters that there was no thought
Of treachery in the minds Of the Ger
man General Staff and that the terms
of the armistice will be faithfully car
ried out.
There have been few isolated cases
where surrendered materials have been
damaged, but it is not thought such
damage was wrought under orders of
German commanders. The surrender
of damaged airplanes at the airdrome
in Tellancourt is regarded as q case
where individual aviators determined
to put their machines out Of commits
sion rather than have them fall into
the hands of an enemy, much as cav
alryman would shoot favorite horse
to save him from like fate.
Enormous stores Of ammunition and
machine guns left at Longuyon were
little impaired, and the machine shops
there had not been damaged. The cleo
tricsl machinery in the shops was fully
wired and the tools were Of the best
Rail Material Abandoned
The railway yards at Montmedy and
other places along the line that served
the Germans as ono Of their main
arteries Of communication during their
last stand against the Allied advance
were filled with locomotives and cars
ready for use, while great quantities
Of general stores not mentioned in the
terms Of tho armistice had been aban-
doned to the Allies.
Undamnged stores left behind on
every road over which the Americans
advanced bear evidence of the great re-
treat,
A road near st. Ledger over which
tho correspondent drove just behind
the evacusting armies was so thickly
covered with big iron German helmets
that at times they interfered with tho
operation Of his automobile.
