IS 1T A NEWSPAPER?


Demogogue" down the street claims
to be newspaper. More than that it
claims to have the best press service
on the globe and to be "the best news
paper in the world published in city
the size Of Devils Lake"
On the afternoon Of Sept 4, 1913, an
attempt was made to- blow up the
court room Of United States Dis
Etrict Judge in Chicago who had just
sentenced large number Of the I. w.
w. to long prison terms and heavy
fiAes which attempt resulted in. par
TALLY wrecking the Federal Building
and in killing and womding number
of people. Suspicion pointed and still
points to members of the I. w. w. or
ganization as the probable authors of
the outrage.
The occurrence was certainly snews',
Of the first importance as is evidenced
by the space given it by all Of the So
called "Kept Press" publications which
we happened to see. The act was ais"
of the first importance in the opinion
of all law-abiding citizens retaining :.
belief in the old fashioned (but We
hope not out Of date) principles of
representative government, as indi-
eating a serious condition Of affairs in
this country. A condition Of affairs
which good citizens must remedy by
united action against the socialistic
and anarchistic "isms" and movements
which have raised their ugly heads
among US during the past few years:
A careful examination of the "DailsI
Dennogogue" for Sept. and Sept. 8
fails to reveal q single mention of this
important news item.
What Is The ReaS6n7
We can readily believe that Brother
Bloom failed to consider this occusL
renee as anything particularly shock
from the standpoint Of good citizen
ship but we hardly think he could have
failed to appreciate it's value as a news
itenG g X
Granting, then, that he did appre-
ciate its value as news item, why did
he not publish it as news item?
Brother Bloom was out of town for
several days at about that time. He
was understood to have been heavily
loaded with high explosives when he
left here with which to bomb and dis
rupt the meeting of the Democratic
State Central Committee at Bismarck
on Sept. 3rd.
Reports fail to indicate that any
took place at that meeting.
Could the Colonel" have gone to Chi
cago? Could he have used the ex.
plosives with which he left here on the
Chicago Federal Building instead Of
on the Democratic State Central Com
Could guilty conscience be
responsible for the suppression Of the
piece of news in the "Col-
onel's" paper?
No! gentle reader, No! The "Col-
onel's" courage would not be equal to
such a task.
His activities along this line con-
sists in publishing inflamatory
screeds directed at imaginary evils
calculated to incite the anarchistic
spirit in the half-baekd mind. For
with one notable exception)
there are none Of the latter in this
No, one here takes him
seriously 80 no harm is done.
No. We do not suspect the "Col-
onel" Of direct completely in the Chi
cago explosion. His bombing, we are,
almost sure, is confined TO- the printed

CHAPTER XVI.
Gordon Spends a Busy Evening.

Gordon Spends Busy Evening.
Paget smoked placidly, but the heart
within him was troubled. It looked as
If Selfridge had made up his mind to
frame Gordon for a prison sentence.
The worst of it was that he need not
invent any evidence or take any
chances. If Macdonald came through
on the stand with an Identification Of
Elliot as one Of his assailants, the
young man would go down the river
to serve time. There was enough cor
robOrative testimony to convict st.
Peter himself.
'I'm just telling you what he said,"
Diane explained. "And 1t worried me.
His smile was cynical. couldn't help
thinking that if he wants to get even
with Gordon"
Mrs. Paget stopped. The maid had
just brought into the room a visitor.
Diane moved forward and shook hands
with him. "How do you do, Mr.
Strong? Take this big chair"
Hanford Strong accepted the chair
and cigar. He came promptly to the
object of his call.
81 don't know whether this is where
/ should have come or not. Are you
folks for young Elliot or are you for
Selfridge?' he demanded.
IF you put it that way, we're for FL
liot," smiled Peter.
"All right. Let me put it another
way. You work for Mac. Are you on
his side or on Elliot's in this matter of
the coal claims?"
Diane looked at Peter. He took his
time to answer.
''We hope the coal claimants will
win, but we've got sense enough to
see that Gordon is in here to report
the facts. That's what he is paid for.
He'll tell the truth as he sees 1t. If

She hesitated 'The doctor says"
"Do as / say, please"
The nurse left them alone. Wally
told the story of the evidence against
Elliot in four sentences. His chief
caught the point at once.
After Selfridge had gone, the wound
ed man lay silent thinking out his pro-
gram. Not for a moment did he doubt
that he was going to live, and his brain
was already busy planning for the fu-
ture. He knew now that in the viO-
lence of his anger against Elliot he
had made a mistake. To have killed
his rival would have been fatal to the
Kamatlah coal claims, would have
alienated his best friends, and would
have prejudiced hopelessly his chances
with Sheba. Fate had been kind to
him. He had been in the wrong and it
had put him in the right. BY the same
cut of the cards young Elliot had been
thrust down from an impregnable po-
sition to one in which he was a dis
credited suspect. With all this evil
dence to show that he had .conspired
against Macdonald, his report to the
department would be labor lost.
Diane came into the sickroom strip
ping her gloves after the walk. Mac
donald smiled feebly at her and fired
the first shot of his campaign to de-
feat the enemy.
elias Elliott been captured yet?" he
asked weakly.
The keen eyes of his hostess fas-
tened upon him. Captured! What
do you mean? 1t was Gordon Elliot
that brought you in and saved your
life"
brought me from where?'
"From where he found you uncon-
scious-at the ford"
"That's his story, is it?"
The young woman stood with her
gloves crushed tight in both hands. 1t
was her nature to be always a parti
san. Without any reserve she was for
Gordon in this new fight upon him.
What had Wally Selfridge been saying
to Macdonald? Did the mine owner
mean to suggest that he had identified
Elliot as one of his assailants? The
thing was prepOsterous.
And yet-that was plainly what he
had meant to imply. If he told such a
story, things would go hard with Cor
don. In court it would clinch the case
against him by supplying the one miss
ing link in the chain of circumstantial
evidence.
Diane, in deep thought, frowned
down upon the wounded man, who
seemed already to have fallen into
light sleep. She told herself that this
was some of Wally Selfridge's devil
try. Anyhow, she would talk it over
with Peter.
The reason Wally was so pleased
with himself was that he had dropped
hint into the ear of the wounded
man not to clear Elliot of completely
in the attack upon him. The news
that the special Investigator had been
arrested for robbery and attempted
murder, flashed all over the United
States, would go far to neutralize any
report he might make against the va
lidity of the Macdonald claims. If to
this could be added later reports Of
an indictment, trial, and possibly
conviction, it would not matter two
straws what Elliot said in his official
statement to the land Office.
