CHAPTER XIII.

MI. silas Colby. president of the
National Candy company, stood six
feet one in his socks and balanced
the scales at two hundred and six
pounds. Clean shaver and rudy OF
complexion, he did not look his forty
five years; and his voice, clear and
resonant; was the voice OF a man still
young.
Brooke was attracted by him at
once. He liked him at sight, won
equally by his appearance and his
manner, which was unanectedly cor
dial. Besides, he saw in him a
sturdy, energetic. commanding force
that gripped admiration. :.
Moore, who knew him slightly, had
received him at the door, opening it
at sound of footsteps. in the passage,
and had presented Brooke almost i'm
mediately.

ported that in Sherburne there we're
from 25 to 80 men, mounted on horse
back. The reports from Carlisle state
that the group of men that visited
Bethel was composed Of 10 men on
horseback and four unmounted.
According to news received in Lex
ington, Is or more farmers were VS.
tied by the night riders during their
sweep along the county lines of Flem-
ing and Bath late Sunday night con-
firmation OF six visits made had been
received.
At 1875 o'clock Saturday night, ac-
cordng to the reports from Carlisle
the nightriders appeared at the home
Of T. S. Robertson, Of Bethel, a
wealthy farmer and extensive grower
of tobacco. They called Mr.. Bobert-
son from his house. Four men on foot
with their backs turned toward Rob-
ertson, addressed him and told him
not to haul any of his tobacco to the
markets and sell it, not to rent any
of his farms for tobacco production
during the coming year and not raise
any of the leaf himself.
Should he fail to follow these in
structions, the nightriders, it is said
threatened him with violence and de-
struction OF his property.
The men then went to the home of
Thomas Crouth and repeated the
warnings that they had made at the
home Of Robertson. The men also Wis
tied the homes of man named Stew
ems near Bethel, and Jake Boyd. At
these places the same warnings were
also given.
The number Of men that visited the
Robertson home and the other three
farmers near Bethel was estimated at
| %. Nineteen of these were mounted
and four were afoot.
The party next went to Sherburne
in Fleming county about u miles
from johannesburg. Here they visited
the homes of two men, Mr.. Shields anc
Mr.. Tomlin, owners OF trucks, who
haul tobacco crops to the surrounding
markets for the farmers.

CENTRAL AMERICA.

One OF the first acts Of the new ad-
ministration at Washington was to
send notes to the governments OF Pan
anna and Costa RIGA demanding the
cessation Of hostilities between the
two republics and the settlement jof
their differences in a peaceful man
ner.
Action Of this kind is not imperti-
nent Interference In the Affairs of
other nations. It is merely an OK
preston of American determination
not to permit petty squabbling to in
jure the lawful interests OF its citizens
or to render unnecessarily burden
some the execution of the great trust
which this country mas assumed in
the control and management Of the
Panama canal.
Contra America CANNOT be consid-
cred apart from the canal. Disturb.
ances which affect the neighborine
nations affect the security OF the ca.
nal, and make it. more costly to main.
tain. And it is entirely within rea.
son that the United States should de.
msnd that such disturbances do not

NOTICING 10 HINDER

! The investigation Of the state indus
tries during the session just closed
brought to light a great many things
which the people need to know. But
no change in the situation has been
made. 1t has been shown that money
belonging to the state has been squan-
dered and recklessly handled. But
nothing has been done to prevent a
repetition Of the very things which
have brought the state into itS pres
cnt condition of financial dfsrepute.
The Bank Of North Dakota is still
the fiscal agent oe the state. entrust-
ed with all Of the state funds proper.
Subdivisions of the state may . To-
cal repositories, but there is still on
deposit in the state bank d large
local organizations, which the state
authorities apparently do not intend
TO %relinquish hastily. 1t is still pos
.sible for the Bank of North Dakota
officials to continue the political game
which they have played through the
agency OF the Observation-Disclosures
bank Of Fargo. the Casselton bank,
and a number others. 1t Is still
possible for mi.fions of dollars of
public money TO re distributed among
the politicians who arc at the head
Of the Soppartian league. Sot~oniy
is this possible, gu; there has been
not the slightest hint that the mem
bers Of the state administration "a
any other purpose than to continue in
the same old way.
It is easy to see what that will
mean to the state. Today this 3
corner of the country is set apart
from all others as broken and discred-
tied. inhabited by a set of people who
repudiate their debts and stubbornfy
persistent in a crazy course whose
folly has long since been apparent.
North Dakota checks r worthless
outside OF North Dakota, and there
are many towns within the state that
are plastered with signs reading, mo
checks taken Thai is the sort OF
reputation the state has acquired un-
der the present administration. There
is no to believe that tho repu-
tation will be mended until the ad-
ministration Is changed.
