THE RUMOR GREW.

Somebody told Evan e. Young
United States commissioner at Riga
that H. G. Wells, the English novel.
list. had said that Nikolai Lenine
Russian dictator, had told him thai
an American named Washington b
Vanderlip. in applying to Lenine TO,
valuable Siberian CONCESSIONS, had de.
clared himself to be the representa-.
tive of Senator Harding, and or
H~arding's behalf had promised recog.
milton of the soviet government after
his Inauguration. Wells denies the
story. Harding repudiates the whole
thing, declaring that he knows moth.
ing about it.
n flaw in the chain Of evidence
lies between Young and Wells. Young
has not said where he got his infor-
NATION. Wells suggests that Il may
lave been derived at third or fourth
hand from reports of private CONVEX
sations. Apparently some onversa-
ton between Lenine and Wells has
been twisted into the form in which
the report was sent in to our state
department.
That Senator Harding has been
flirting with the Bolshevik admins
.tration is absurd on its face. It is
not at all impossible. though, that
some American speculator has been
d1ckertns with Lenine, and has
falsely represented himself az au-
thorized to speak for MI. Harding.

FRIDAY. II, OCT. -, 1890.
CLAP TRAP.

The minds Of some politicians work
peculiarly. The po0essors Of these
minds arc able to understand thor
oushly that newspapers which sup
port them do % from the purest mo
tives, and no matter what form their
activity takes, It is always admirable.
But they cannot conceive that news
papers can oppose them except from
corrupt motives; and in their estinA-
ton no matter what the methods of
the opposition are, they are invariably
reprehensiple.
Governor Cox has just fallen foul
Of the Saturday Evening Post. He
takes the position that because that
magazine has not been committed to
a partisan course in politics it has no
right now, either by cartoon or edi-
torial comment, to do anything which
can be interpreted as favorable to the
election of Governor Cox's opponent.
And because the magazine has chosen
to do something Of that sort, 1t 10
charged with having sold out to cor
rupt interests.
The public is familiar with a SINH
lar attitude on the part Of the Social
list press Of this state It is permis-
sible and laudable for a newspaper to
say or do anything favorable to MI.
Townley and his candidates. But let
a newspaper utter a word in any way
a~ntagonistic to these gentry, and it is
at once branded as having sold out
to the enemies of the people.
Governor Cox knows better. He is
a newspaper man himself. He has
made more, millions than most news
paper men make. and he probably
wishes to have it understood that he
has made his millions honestly. He
knows that the statements and in
situations which he and many of his
followers are making against the
newspaper men Of the country gener-
ally are false.
Governor Frazier has recently de-
livered himself of charges similar in
purport to those made by MI. Cox. Mr..
Frazier may be acquitted Of wilful
falsehood in the matter, for he speaks
out OF an abyss Of ignorance on this
subject. Probably he does not know
how the papers Of his own faction are
maintained. He might ask Townley
some time, and perhaps Townley will
tell him. The only newspapers. in
North Dakota that we know of which
are subsidized are the Townley news
papers.
The Herald, n Of the North Da-
kota papers so often accused of hav-
ing sold out, has two sources of reve-
nue.. its receipts from circulation and
its receipts from advertising. Out of
these it has been able to nav its ex.
penses, and just a little more. 1t has
no now. and has never had. any
other source of revenue. Its adver-
Using charges are uniform to all ad-
vertisers OF the same class, and are
based IN every case on the value of
the advertising to the customer on
the basis of circulation.
IT 1t were worth while, ana II there
were any prospect Of such 4 chal-
lenge being accepted. The Herald
wouldabe glad to offer to n repre-
sentative group OF citizens Of North
Dakota an opportunity to examine it's
books and accounts Of every descrip-
ton and ascertain beyond question the
source from which every dollar Of
The Herald's income has been derived.

TWO THINGS EXPECTED

Shanghai, Oct. 29.-Not the least
among other things that Chinese rem.
orally expect from the next session OF
the American congress are two
projects for which official support has
been pledged-the lifting Of the
American ministry at Picking to an
embassy and the erection in Shanghai
OF a pretentious new consular build
ing.
stephen c. Porter, Pittsburx, Re-
publican member of the house OF
representatives and chairman of the
house committee on foreign affairs,
pledged his support to both of these
projects on the occasion Of the visit
to Shanghai last August Of a party OF
American legislators and officials.
The American administrative build
tngs in Shanghai consist Of two rather
ancient structures in which are hous-
ed h consulate, the American post
once. h United States court for
China, other Offices and residence
quarters for officials. These build
ings occupy N excellent, centrally
locAtsd site overlooking the Public
Gardens and The Bund, the water
front thoroughfare, at the point
whers the stSoochow Creek flows into
the4WhAng0o river.
