APPROVES GRADY.SALUS BILL.
Pennsylvania Governor Issues a State
ment Explaining His Action.
Harrisburg, Pa., May 13.—Governor
Pennypacker has approved the Grady
Salus bill and at the same time issued
a long statement giving the reasons
for his action. The bill, which was
in the governor's hands for more than
a month, goes into effect immediately
and repeals all laws or parts of laws
inconsistent with the new act.
The governor says in his statement
that the questions raised by the bill
are of very grave importance and af
fect,lairge business interests, the free
dowof speech, and the press, the right
of' lne citizen to be informed concern
ing^curfent affairs and the conduct of
government as well as his right to
protect his reputation and home from
the injuries that rise from careless or
negligent, as well as malicious false
report.
in his opinion they are of import
ance for the further reason that which
ever way decided, the fact that they
are raised indicates a widespread dis
satisfaction with existing conditions
and their correct decision is likely to
have an effect within and without the
commonwealth. They are deserving,
therefore, of the most careful consid
eration and the conclusion, unaffect
ed by any personal feeling and un?
swayed by a"- fear of personal conse
quences, aught to be reached uprn
the high plane of what will be for th
best of the people.
The rovernor claims there is noth
ing in the terms of the measure which
prevents any newspaper from making
such comments upon legislative meas
ures or upon the official acts of state,
municipal, county or public officers as
are proper for the information of the
public or are in the line of legitimate
public discussion.
CUNARD DOCK MYSTERY."
Maker of the Infernal Machine Lived
in New York Two Weeks.
New York, May 13.—The'New York
American says:
Tho man who made the infernal ma
chine and sent it to the Cunard dock
last Saturday lived in this city as a
boarder in Mrs. Joseph Currie's house
at No. 366 West Thirty-first street for
two weeks.
He gave his name as "G. Rosseau."
To all appearances the man was not
a foreigner. He spoke perfect Eng
lish without, any more trace of aq ac
cent than marks the Westerner or
Canadian, and his fellow boarders be
lieved that he had come from the
West, possibly from Western Canada.
Through Mrs. Curris the mysterious
wagon in the case and the man who
took the box to the pier were found.
The wagon was from Joseph Rooney's
express office at Thirtieth street and
Ninth avenue. The wagonmen were
Peter Bathe, driver, and Joseph
Mct
Cormick, assistant. They were aided
by Frank Carton, another employe..

WASHBURN LEADER. WASHBURN, NORTH DAKOTA MAY Ifi, 19C3. $1.00
As the town grows so does the
country and this rule prove to be
no exception regarding Washburn
i and city. It is something woi:der
ful the way in which this country
has developed during the past two
years. In conversation with a
farmer a short time ago, lie ex
pressed the opinion that we were
booming the country too much,
Well, maybe we are, but where
under the the sun will be found a
better country or one that offers
better advantages and inducements
to a man with moderate means
than right here in McLean county.
We were talking with one of the
new'settlers who removed here from
Iowa this spring, and he informed
us that the last year that he farmed
there he was out the rent of the
rent of the farm, some $800.00,
which had to be paid in cash, not
a share of the crop, nor could the
land owner be stood off until the
next year. In the older settled
states land is so high that a man
with moderate means would never
be able to own a piece of land, or
own a home, then why sbould we
not be allowed to invite him to a
country where land is cheap and
the drawbacks are no worse or
more of them than they were in
Iowa during the early settlement
of that state. We believe in the
future and prosperity of the state
and especially McLean county,
and if perchance our feeble efforts
has induced some settler to throw
off the cash rental yoke and come
to North Dakota and get a hundred
and sixty acres of land and a home
of hie wnjife.will be repaid and
when we pass the portals of the
pearly we will not feel ashamed of
our part in the settlement of the
country.
Grand Forks Herald: The test
of lignite coal at the waterworks
stetion is being made by Engineer
Tatterfield, and the test so far has
been very satisfactory Tjvo
cars of coal were ordered on trial
and four more cars were ordered
yesterday. The coal is a great
improvement over that used at the
plant several years ago, and it is
estimated that the coal will in
crease the cost of the operation "of
the plant about 80 cents per day
over the cost of mill wood, Which
can only be secured for a Short
time owing to the burning of the
mill. The coal being used now is.
from the Washburn mines and it
is believed that coal will be found
cheaper than soft wood other than
slabs that have been used for some
time
It is a hard matter to reach the
top of the ladder by trying to tear
down the reputation of another.
It has been tried but has never
proven a success. In the busi

cessful man who made made a suc
cess in life, made it tfirough his
own efforts, and not by tearing to
pieces the character and business
reputation of another. Honest
competiton hurts no one, but when
competition seeks to belittle and
degrade a rival concern, the one.
who does that becomes a menace
to the upbuilding of atown.gg
