HOLD WML ON SPECIAL TRAIN NIGHT WATCH KEPT ON GRAIN TRAIN OUT OF MINNEAPOLIS —CHECK WEIGHTS Minneapolis, July 3.—After an all night vigil on a special Great North ern train which left Minneapolis last night carrying 6,000,000 pounds of wheat to Duluth, Michael A. Fox, as sistant weighing inspector of the state grain inspection department, arrived at the Head of the Lakes today. The state grain inspection department is making the greatest practical weigh ing ever made in the western gran trade. The wheat will be weighed in Duluth and the figures checked again the Minneapolis weights. Mr. Fox, with Great Northern special po licemen to assist him, went on the train to see that not a kernel or wheat leaked out. The Hallet and Carey company, a chanfber or com merce firm, made the shipment which measures 100,000 bushels, TOe grain will go east from Duluth by the lakes to eastern millers. Minneapolis and Duluh weights have been differing in some recent instances by a few hundred pounds on large shipments. The scales un der state supervision are checked and tasted regularly, but on the 100, 000 bushels shipment, each car is marked to show on just what scales it was weighed in Minneapolis and again marked according to Duluth weights. This will enable the inspect ors to locate definitely any differences, however slight, that may exist in the scaling here or at the Duluth term inal. GREAT CROWD AT CIRCUS The Yankee Robinson circA was here last Thursday and had a great crowd out in the afternoon. The best features of the, show were the Jap aerobatSr and the trainsd dogs. Williston Graphic CATCHING CHILD LABOR AT START HOPE OF HEADING OFF CHILD LABOR IN WEST EXPRESSED AT CONFERENCE "The children won't suffer any more after this, will they?" said a small actor after the child labor pageant given at the eleventh annual confer ence on child labor in San Francisco on May 28. While this pageant, writ ten by Mrs. George Hough and staged on tne exposition grounds, may not have justified in the minds of adults the optimism of the child, it did strike the note of hopefulness that prevailed throughout the meeting and it demon strated the community's interest in the conference. An appeal to the West to prohibit child labor before it has a foothold there was the main theme of the addresses. Dr. Felix Adler, of New York, Chairman of the National Child Labor Committee, touched the heart of the matter when he pointed out that child labor has always been a by-product of the change from an ag ricultural to an industrial community. By the law of recurrence it has ap peared in every part of the world go ing through that change. It appeared in England and our eastern states dur ing such a time of change it is now at its height in the South during a similar change and it will appear in the west unless it is forestalled. Dr. Adler said: The West, realizing the national significance of wasted child hood and the community's responsibil ity toward each individual child, can prevent the recurrence of child labor there if it will.

GOVERNOR'S PROCLAMATION PURITY SUNDAY STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA Executive Department Beyond the political, commercial or industrial phase of our national life there lies the greater, more powerful and far reaching force, the na tional moral character of our people, a force which overshadows all others and goes farther toward development and improvement. In the battle for existence, often the moral side has been forgotten and the desire for finan cial or personal gain has dulled our moral eyesight, making it difficult to distinguish between right and wrong. Allied'with this and hand in hand, the three great demoralizers—strong drink, drags and White Slavery— have worked incessantly and persistently to lower our standards of right. These three influences have been a grave menace to our national existence, but with the aid of sensible legislation and the gradual awakening of our people, the first two have been to a large degree eliminated and there re mains the last and greatest evil, the White Slave Traffic. The International Purity Congress has done a splendid work in endeav oring to stamp out these three evils and with the view of co-operating with them, I, L. B. Hanna, Governor, do hereby proclaim Sunday, July 18th PURITY SUNDAY in the State of North Dakota for the year 1915. On that day I earnestly request that the people in their homes and places of worship resolve to do their utmost to aid in the development of a higher citizenship and to hereafter so conduct themselves, in thought as well as deed, as to make "Woman" mean, as it rightly should God's finest, purest and most sacred creation. Done at the Capitol at Bismarck, this 14th Day of June, A. D. 1915. (SEAL) L. B. HANNA, By the Governor: Governor. Thomas Hall, Secretary of State. SHRINERS ON WAY TO SEATTLE Fair, Williston, North Dakota, Sept. 1, 2 and 3, 1915 WILLISTON, WILLIAMS COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA, THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1915. $1.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE GREAT TIME AT WATFORD E E A E E A I O N MONDAY WAS BANNER DAY WITH CHAMPION RIDERS One of the greatest celebrations held in this section of the country this year was the three day one at Watford, Mc Kenzie county. There was a great crowd there every day but the Mon day the fifty was the banner day and several auto loads of Williston people were present. There were the usual forms of entertainment all of them good but the one that possibly attract ed the greatest attention was the broncho riding. There were a num ber of good riders present but the honors were easily carried off by Scott Gore. Mr. Gore brought a horse there and offered anyone $200 who could ride him. Not getting any offers^ he then said he would ride the horse if a collection of $100 was put up. The $100 was soon raised and then Mr. Gore gave the crowd an exhibition of riding such as has not been seen in the countrv for same time if ever. Mr. Gore has the reputation of at one time being the champion of Texas and those who witnessed his exhibition Monday say that they can well believe it. TRIED TO DIG OUT THROUGHOUT the civilized world thereis an ever-increasing and insis tent deir.ar.d for development and improvement. From the date of its birth, within our own country there has been a continual struggle to better the conditions of our people. In the betterment of conditions—political, commercial, industrial and social—there has been a vast difference of opin ion as to the best methods to be employed to attain the desired end. Members of the Sheriff force dis covered a hole in the east wall of the jail Tuesday morning where some of the prisoners had been attempting to dig out. The hole was started around the east ventelator similar to the one dug some time ago around the one on the west side of the jail.

BOMB IN CAPITOL SHOOTS MORGAN CLAIMED HOLT CONFESSED TO SHOOTING-SAYS ALSO PLACED BOMB IN WHITE HOl/SE Glen Cove, N. Y., July 3.—J. P. Mor gan, head of the banking house of J. F. Morgan & Co., was shot twice to day at his country home near here, by Frank Holt, a natice American, form er student aond instructor of the Cor nell University, who also, officials say, confessed tonight to placing the bomb which last midnight wrecked the pub lic reception room in the senate wing *f the national capitol at Washington. Holt was to become the head of the department of French in the South western Methodist University of Dal las. Texas, next fall. Both shots took effect in the region of the hip. A bulletin issued by spec ialists at Morgan's bedside tonight stated there were unfavorable svm ptoms, and that Morgan was resting easily. Butler To Rescue Holt was overpowered by Morgan qnd Henry Fiske, a butler in the Mor gan household, who grappled with him in the hallway. The assailant was locked up in jail here and held with out bail for further proceedings on Tulv 7. From his eel' Holt 'ssued a written statement saying he intended harm to Morgan. bu+ had come to Glen Cove to persuade the banker to stop the shipment abroad of muni tions of war from this country. He went to the Morgan home he said, with a pistil in his hand and a s*ick of dynamite in his pocket, intending to remain there till Morgan "did some thing." Another loaded pistol was found in Holt's pocket and fljore dynamite in a suit case he had taken to Morgan's.

C., July 3.—Much* more is at stake in the next campaign than the election of a Republican pres ident, and House of Representatives^ The political complexion of the Unit ed States Senate must be changed if the Republican party is to be placed in a position to enact its policies into law. Unless this is done the Underwood tariff and other injurious legislation which the Democratic party has in flicted upon the American people can not be repealed. There are thirty-two states in which senatorial elections are to be held next year. These thirty-two states are now represented in tne Senate by 17 Democrats, 14 Republicans and 1 Progressive. The latter, Senator Poin dexter, of Washington, has anounced his affiliation with the Republican party so that the figures should stand 17 to 15. As the present Democratic majority in the Senate is 16, Republi can successors to nine Democrats must be elected in order to give the Repub licans control. The accomplishment of this result is now the determined' effort of Republicans. The seventeen Democratic senators come from Arizona, Florida, Indiana,. Maine, Maryland, Mississippi, Mis souri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada,. New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Tennes see, Texas, West Virginia and Vir ginia. Of all these states only four Florida, Mississipii, Texas and Vir ginia—are assuredly Democratic. In five other states—Maine, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and West Virginia it is practically certain that Republi cans will be elected. Maine has swung* back into the Republican column and' in the last election New York and1. Ohio returned Republican Senators, while New Jersey and West Virginia, in by-elections, have demonstrated? that they are back again in the Re publican fold. This leaves only eight states—Ari zona, Indiana, Maryland, Missouri,'.. Montana. Nebraska, Nevada and Ten nessee—in the doubtfulcolumn and in' each one of these states the Republi cans have more than a' fighting chance of success. If they carry four of these' eight states they will control'the sen ate. The outlook is most encouraging The election of Senator Newlands, of Nevada, last year was a matter of doubt for some days, so close were the figures. The Republicans ought cer tainly to carry Nevada next year. In diana. now that the Progressive party has disintegrated, is almost sure to be in the Republican column again, while the Bryan-Hitchcock feud in Nebraska: affords the Republicans an excellent oportunity for carrying that state. It was formerlv safely Republican. Mis souri and Tennessee offer splendid fighting ground, while Maryland had* a Republican senator until recently With the tide running strongly in fa- vor of the Republicans several of these States ought to elect Republican sena tors. But victoiy will not be secured'un less Republican voters in these states are thoroughly aroused to the neces sity of electing Republican senators.. The election of a Republican presi dent and a Republican House or Rep resentatives would be an empty hon or. A Democratic senate would suc- cessfully block any effort to repealf the Underwood tariff law and thus compel the country to suffer for two years more under its iniquitous pro visions. The country has nad enough of the disastrous free trade fallacies of the Democratic party and only with the repeal of the present tariff law will prosperity return. The European' war nas served some of the purposes of a protective tariff and has reated' an enormous demand for American' production but no nation can easily base its economic policies upon the as sumption that other nations will con tinue a war indefinitely. The tremendous Republican gains in the last election, when the overwhelm ing Democratic majority of nearly 150 in the House was almost completely, wiped, out. makes the election of a Re publican House next year a foregone conclusion. But the Senate must also be Republican. This is to be the slo gan of the next campaign. Call on us for screen doors and win dows. R. C. Sanborn Lbr. Co. 2 BURKE IS COMING TO NORTH DAKOTA. FORMER GOVERNOR WILL BE IN THE STATE SOON—MAY HAVE SIGNIFICANCE Grand Forks, July 6.—Much poli tical significance is attached by demo crats of the state to the coming visit: of the United States Treasurer Burke, former governor. He is slated for an address before the state association of county treasurers on July 10 and for other speeches in the state. It is supposed he wU) inform his party men whether he wishes to be considered in the senatorship contest next year. For a long time democrats were es pecially anxious to have him in the race, but were given to understand he preferred to seek a federal judicial po sition. He may have changed his_ at titude toward the scnahiisMp
