FAITHFUL SERVICE

F1 y@ Sr%E4 81 @-& .fnh EE~ aAE
A brief news dispatch from Bottineau tells of the
death at his home here Of Captain John I. Thorburn, for
many years a resident Of Bottineau, and formerly a
steamboat captain on the Great Lakes. The dispatch
says that Captain Thorburn had sailed the lakes for forty
years, and that it was his boast that during that long
service not q single life had been lost on any boat which
he commanded.
The man who thus rounded out his days among his
friends In little" country town, and who passed away
quietly at the age of 80, was not a man of worldwide
fame. He had achieved nothing which brought him to
the attention of the great public. He had lived his life in
a modest way, known, of course, to many, but still oc-
cupying no conspicuous position.N But he had performed
a worthy work and he had acquitted himself faithfully.
For forty years, through sunshine and storm, he had
been in charge of human lives and great property values
under conditions which demanded the utmost care, the
greatest skill. and at times almost supcrhuman endur-
ance. Doubtless he himself could not have estimated the
number of human lives committed to his care, or the
value of the cargoes for which he was responsible. But
whatever the number, and whatever the value. he had
been faithful to his trust, and the fact that in later years,
when he was no longer able to play an active part in the
affairs Of men, he gave expression to the qualification
which he felt in his signal success is proof that he had
made this faithful performance Of duty the main object
of his life. '
We applaud the act of conspicuous gallantry or ahal-
ity, and such recognition is fitting. Quite often the long
and faithful service of the conscientious soul escapes
notice. But it is upon such service, no less that on the
more noteworthy acts which come to public attention
that the security of our cociety rests. ".'

A POOR

Senator Iadd is a poor prophet. last fall he proph-
esied a price Of something like three dollars a bushel for
our wheat, or at any rate. a price. very much in excess
of the ruling price at the time of threshing. That price
didn't materianze., Instead, prices went down and then
down some more. North Dakota has sustained a loss OF
a dollar a bushel on all the wheat of standard grade
which was hsld over in response to the advice of Mr.
Iade and others who Joined. with him in giving that
advice. ~ &H#s
1t is nov asserted BY Mr.. Iadd and his friends that
the drop in prices was caused by The Chamber of Com
n1crce, backed by Wall Street. For several years Sen
ator Ladd has been denouncins these very agencies. He
has talked about them with the air of knowing all about
them. And yet, with all his wisdom and all his pres
cience. he was unable to foresee last fall that these NAL.
evolent agencies were about to do exactly what they have
done.
Senator Iadd would have qualified better as a prophet
if he had said to his admirers last fall: Farmers, the
rascals in Minnea polls and New York are after you,
wheat. They have control of the situation. They car
put the price down, and they are going to do it. The
thing for you to do is to beat them to it. The price Of
wheat is now $3.50 a bushel. 1t isn't as much as five
dollars or ten dollars, but it is better than a dollar. You
can get about $3.50 for your wheat now. BY alb means
take it, because if you delay the wheat gamblers will pu,
the price a way down." ~.
Ladd and the rest of them tell us that this is wha,
has been done. They have always insisted that thet
know all about the evil disposition and the unlimited
power of the people who have done it. IT they had taken
the. people into their confidence hist fall, what a differ
ence it would have made.

DOESN'T TELL, 1T ALL.

DOESN'T TELL 1T ALL.
Senator Iadd is quoted in an eastern paper in de-
fense Of the present state administration in North Da-
kota- He speaks particularly of the Bank of North Da-
kota, He says:
I consider the Bank of North Dakota alb
sofutely sound. 1t is well managed. 1t can meet
all its obligations. 1t was the only instrument
that saved the farmers Of that territory in the
recent slump in farm products, when they and
their banks were subjected to the crushing in
nuence of the antagonism Of the Twin, Cities.
The bank has just recently paid a 81, 900, 900 debt
in one payment, and $40, 900 besides al the mo-
nent the money became due.
1t will be gratifying to MIR. Iadds friends to know
that he considers the Bank of North Dakota sound and
we'll managed. There is no evidence anywhere that Ser
ator LAdd knows anything abou; banking. but the Bank
of North Dakota is managed by his political, associates,
and it would distress him to feel that his associates lack
in managerial ability. And. as it is always pleasan: to
know that ones friends feet comfortable, the knowledge
that the senator has that feeling will! he gratifying to
those who have regard for his peace of mind.
The statement that the state bank can meet all its
obligations may arouse some interest, and may prompt
inquiry as to why the bank does not do tina, particular
thing if, as Nj. Ladd says, it is able to do SO. The fact
is that it is not meeting its obligations. It has received
large sums in taxes from the various taxing bodies of the
state, and these sums it refuses to pay when payment
is required for the ordinary purposes Of the bodies hav-
ing money on deposit with it. Because it has not met
its obligations townships have been unable to pay their
bills; country school teachers have not received their
salaries: some schools have been closed; other schools
are maintained either by means Of personal advances
made by individuals or by loans from local banks.
The Bank OF North Dakota has repaid a million
dollar loan. Out of what? Out of money belonging to
the townships and school districts aforesaid, together
with other funds belonging to cities and counties, which
funds were forced into the Bank of North Dakota by
the vicious law which created it. and which the owners
have been unable to obtain for the prosecution Of their
own business.
1t may be gratifying to DR.. Ladd to know that the
Bank of North Dakota Las sent a million dollars to Chi
cago to pay a loan, but it is the reverse of gratifying to
a lot of other people to know that their money has been
sent to Chicago for this purpose when they. need it in
their own business. ..a
The Bank of North Dakota has come so far short
of paying it's obligations that it has resisted legal action
brought to compel payment after other means had failed
It contested action brought for this purpose, and before
the supreme court it maintained that it could not be

BUSY SCENE AT

IL there has been any doubt what
ever that the fourth annual Marion

the scene out at the fair grounds to-

full fair. All is bustle at the grounds
and every one seems to be IN fine
humor. Enthusiasm is running high.
The livestock exhibit will be one of
the best, If not the best yet held. The
famous dairy herd from the Chace
farm near Tampa will come direct
from the state fair. This exhibit will
be of special interest in view of the
establishment here of creamery and
the movement to develop the dairy In

Seaboard Air Lines
Tourist Booklet
1t Gives an Excellent wrfte-Up Of
Ocala and Silver Springs

ON0A@ 4AAA O2ANEL ONGNMk&
The Seaboard Air Lines tourist
booklet for the season of 1922 is
out. 1t is entitled sWintering in the
South" The booklet is a most attrac-
tive one and Ocala and Silver Springs
and the Oklawaha river are given
generous space. There are two pho
tographs of 0cala and one of Silver
Springs in the folder. These photo
graphs were furnished by the Marion
County Board of Trade at the request
of the Seaboard, the subjects being
selected by the railroad.
The write-up of Ocala and Silver
Springs is as follows:
"Ocala is the principal city in cen
tral Florida. 1t is well laid out with
wide shaded streets, substantial
homes, with an abundance of flowers
and shrubbery, and its several hotels
and boarding houses are patronized
by winter visitors. There are large
orange groves IN the outlying country
with good roads leading to them, but
its great attraction is Silver Springs,
six miles away. A smooth boulevard
leads to it, and the drive, though
speedily made, is full of interest. The
visitor to Florida too often is misled
by the name of Silver Springs and
interprets it as meaning q mere
stream of water bubbling from the
ground, perhaps trickling of IN 9
small brook and, for that reason, Is
not attracted to it. What a grievous
errorl It really is a great subter-
ranean river, which has here broken
its bondage, gushing forth %, 34,78C
gallons per hour, forming a lake ot
great depth from which Silver river
flows on to the Oklawaha and that u
the st. Johns, which empties into tho
sea. But the marvel does not lie il

come a more important factor in the
