A Free mid Pure Ballot Box.
In liis Fourth of July address at
VTatertown, Dak. last week, Hon.
Clias. (i. "Williams gave utterance to
the following warning in speaking of
the dangers that threaten our nation,
liis prophesy, if such lie thought it,
is very true as two year's experience
in Giant county will bear out.
"Shall I be pardoned for saying that
the one question most vital to its (the
nation's) existence stands before it
i unsolved to-day. 1 refer to a free and
i iure ballot-box. That is something
which in a national .sense, this repub

day. In saying this I confine myself
to no locality or section. Force and
fraud in some sections, and the cor
rupt use of money in others, are the
canker curse which is eating its way
toAvard the vitality of this nation.
The people sec this and are alarmed
by it, and as they have met every em
ergency tlius far, so will they meet
this one when it ripens to a crisis, as
it surely will ripen. Economic ques
tions may come and go. Men inter
ested only in material affairs may
crowd to the front, and those who have
battled and bled in the lields of war
that this one thing might be secured,
ami those who have been true to it in
civil life, may, tor the time, be driven
to the rear and forgotten but just so
sure as effect follows cause, just so
sure as gravitation holds this world
together, just so sure as the waters of
the great deen "iJJ
J'"c l"
ti(le
lines ot the sea. just so sure will this
question confront the American peo
ple, again and again, until it is settled
and settled right. And if it cannot be
settled right under our form of gov
ernment, then our form of govern
ment is a failure. A republic can nev
er stand solid cornered upon a. false
pretense. Its real foundation is the
faith, and hope, and confidence and
trust of the people. Destroy this and
it will tumbie to pieces. Any politic
al party, of whatever name or nature,
which "becomes ashamed of this isue
and seeks to thrust it aside, or igiore
ft is doomed to death and ought to
be."

Peter Cooper once said: "In all
towns where a newspaper is published
every man should advertise in it, even
if nothing more than a card stating
his name and the business he is en
gaged in. It does not only pay the ad
vertiser. but it lets people know that
the town vou reside in is a prosperous
community of business men. As the
