Bank Monday Night

Yeggs entered the Blaisdell State
Bank at Blaisdell, Mountrail county,
shortly, after midnight Monday night,
by ,prying open the front door, then
blew off the door of the big safe with
nitro -glycerine, escaping with their
booty. The safe contained $1,000 in
cash and $40, 10000 in securities and
it is believed the yeggs got away with
all Of this, altho the cashier, e. o.
Lukkasson, would not make an inves-
tigation until the arrival of c. W. Nc
Fadden, secretary Of the North Da-
kota Bankers Association. A woman
living near the bank heard an explos-
ion at 1890 o'clock. At $3.50 that
evening three men in a Cadillac car
entered Blaisdell and bought gasoline.
1t is believed that these men blew the
safe.
Jourgen Olson Of Minot is president
of the bank and John Werner Of Bur-
lington is vice president.

Virginian Visits Native State

The following from the Green Coun-
ty Record, Standardsville, Va, will
be read by Mr.. Miller's many friends
in this section of the state:
"Lieut. Lee Miller, of Granville,
North Dakota, who has been most
welcome guest to this, his native
county, left this week for his home.
While here Lieut.. Miller found the
latchstrings of both relatives and
friends hanging outside conspicuous
ly for him. He is remarkably we'll
preserved man for his years-he will
be 81 years April IA. he does not
show the slightest feebleness and did
a good deal Of walking while on his
visit from choice. He said when
demonstrated with on this score that
he felt better when he stirred about
some. MIR. Miller left here in 1866
and went to Missouri, and from there
he went to North Dakota and now
lives only 40 miles from the Canadian
line. While visiting here his wife
visited her mother at Marshall, Mo-
Mr.. Miller will stop for her on his
way back home.
Mr.. Miller left Green with the first
Hllllldiy COIupdly eIdI cHCSIcu Iiie
civil war from Greene. Capt. Frank
Mcmillan was at its head. Later
Capt. Finks Cattertou was in COM
mand and afterwards Capt. New
combc Mcmillan. Mr.. Miller enter
ed the service as sergeant and rose
to first lieutenant. He was in the
first battle of Manassas, was wound
ed through both legs just below the
thighs at the second Bull Run scrim-
mage, which kept him home a year,
and yet went back and served with
his company until the close Of the
war, having been in many battles in
Virginia and North Carolina. His
brother, Theodore. member of the
same company, was killed at the bat
tie of the Wilderness in which he
himself participated.
Mr.. Miller ras three sons, Robert
Lee, in North Dakota; c. d., in Ar
kansas, and Theodore, in California.
1t has been 81 years since he had been
on a visit to his old home. All unite
in the wish that he may come 500,
again. He is the type of the fine
old Virginia gentleman, the lustre Of
which has not worn off in the slight
est by his choice Of a home in dis
tant state"

held a job but short time as he ap-
peared to be the victim of wanderlust

"COlored Trade Not Solicited.

'COlOred Trade Not Solicited.
Editor independent:
1t seems by an article in Tuesdays
Daily News that someone in Minot
is catering for cheap notoriety in
making a campaign against the "Col-
ored Trade Not Solicited' signs dis
played in some of the restaurants in
our city. The News Reporter puts it
this way: "Why make sport of our
police department by openly defyne
their order to take down such signs ?"
Our question: Why make such ar
order. What =, one of our city COM
missioners would give a public inVi-
tation to the colored people to come
into their homes and sit at their ta-
bic and eat with their family? ven-
ture to say not one. Now there are
many of our citizens that have no
other place to eat except in our res
taurants, and they are surely entitled
to a little consideration. d
Further, the restaurant in question
has considerable patronage who ex-
press themselves as perfectly satisfied
to see such sign displayed, and who
openly say that if the sign comes
down they will go elsewhere to be
served. SO that the whole matte,
goes back to the complaint of one sin
gle individual, who has not even the
record Of being good law-abiding cit
izen, but is at the present time under
indictment for statutory charge.
Furthermore it seems that if such a
mild hint is offensive to the colored
citizen he will take his patronage
elsewhere, for by no stretch Of the
Imagination can the colored citizen be
compelled to 60 into place where
such sign is exhibited.
Very respectfully,
THOMAS HECKER.

LIE SUEUR'S PLANS TO CONTINUE
PROGRAM AND FIX FINANCES

vote Of the house and senate. If this
cannot be agreed upon, then let the
house and the senate in joint session
appoint these boards and put them
in for long terms Of office subject to
removal for cause only.
Second, limit by law the activities
Of the Bank of North Dakota, as fol-
lows: To a land loan bank with the
right to do an unlimited business in
real estate loans.
To handle the state funds but not
other public funds, and act as fiscal
agent of the states industries.
For the time being no other indus
tries should be launched or attempted
until such time as the mill and ele.
vator at Grand Forks and the bank
have been put on sound, self-sus-
tanning basis of proven success. There
should be absolute separation of the
management of the mill and elevator
systems, the mills not being nearly as
likely to succeed as the elevators, and
the facts in reference to this should
specifically agree to this.
With this as the declared policy
of the state in which all the factions
agree, there will be no question about
the rehabilitation of the credit Of the
state. North Dakota's acres are as
fertile as heretofore; her people are
as sober and Industrious, and as cap.
able of creating wealth, and the real
cause Of her difficulties lies in the
bitter and insane factional fight that
has been carried to such extremes, to.
gether with the utterly mistaken pol.
icy of having industries administer
ed by politicians. Any member OF
the house or senate, or any public
officer, who refuses to meet this sor,
of proposition is guilty of the most
grievous offense against the interests
of the epople of the State Of North
Dakota and will merit the utter at.
tempt Of every citizen in the state.
Take your industries out of poll.
tics. Give the people of your state g
chance to live. The I. v. A. members
know that the people demand trial
of this program on sa40, conserva'
tive basis. If it fails, Everyone will
be satisfied to abandon it; if it sue.
ceeds, no one will want to destroy it
and if it is abandoned now without a
fair trial, the farmers of the state
will never rest until some method OF
giving it fair trial has been arrived
at. Why not recognize these plain
facts and act upon them as rational
human beings should?

The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1921-03-03

The Independent prints . letter
written by Arthur LeSueur, former
Minot lawyer and President of the
city commission and for years North
Dakota Socialist. LeSueur has been
one of Townley's chief supporters un-
til a year or so ago when he broke
with him because of difference in
opinion LeSueur is now as much in
favor of the Nonpartisan league pro-
gram as he ever was. While the In
dependent has disagreed with Mr.. Le-
Sueur on good many things, his let
ter sounds very reasonable and we
print it in hopes that it may be of as
sistance in bringing the state out of
its present state Of financial chaos:
One faction Of the Independent Vot-
ers' association claims that the trou-
BILE North Dakota is in today is caus-
ed by the Nonpartisan program; that
it must be abandoned, lock, stock and
barrel. Another faction of the In
dependent Voters association con-
tends that the program, if strictly
managed by honest men instead OF
by the Nonpartisans, who, they claim,
have been utterly dishonest as we'll
as incompetent. A third major con-
tention is made by the Nonpartisans
that all of the difficulties experienced
by North Dakota are caused by op-
position and attacks of the l. V. A.
and "Big Business whatever that
is.
wish to call the attention of the
people of North Dakota as widely as
possible to this fact that the trouble
which North Dakota is experiencing
now is. in the main, due-not to the
program so far as it relates to mills,
elevators, bank and hail insurance in
themselves-but is caused by two
things in connection with this:
First, the program is being con-
trolled and managed by politicians
and not by experts or businessmen,
and as heretofore pointed out, when
ever an attempt is made to operate
industries or actively administer them
by politicians, one of two things must
happen, either parties in charge of
the industries, when they are put
there as politicians, will be bad poll
ticians and be kicked out because they
are bad administrators. Apparently,
they have been good politicians in
North Dakota, 80 far, but bad admin
istrators. To be good politicians,
they must be bad administrators. The
results of political administration
which have been exposed, (but not
cause) by the I. v. "a, were fore
told two years ago when I tried to
prevent the adoption Of that policy.
There is only one solution which
will permit Of fair trial Of the pro-
gram and at the same time remedy
the intolerable conditions that exist
in the state, first, let the legislature
stop playing politics on both sides
and get together to take the bank and
the industries out Of politics, to be
administered hereafter by impartial
boards of experts governing the diff
ferent industries, that is to say, one
board for the mills, if the mills are
continued, one board for the elevators,
and one board for the bank. If the
legislature cannot agree upon allow
ing either the governor or the indus
trial commission to appoint the boards,
let them be appointed by the governor
alone, subject to approval by the joint
