KEENAN HELD WITHOUT BAIL
|to| Larimorc Man. Charged With MaNMr, to
in Jail.
Grand Forks Herald: John Keenan,
chargcd with the murder of William
Murtaugh, at Larimore, on the after
noon of Septi
22.
was arraigned ,in
Judge McLoughlin's court yesterday
afternoon. The formal charge was read
and G. A. Bangs, who appeared as the
attorney for the accused, demanded a
preliminary examination. After some
discussion this was set for Tuesday
evening al 8 o'clock, and will probably
take up all of Wednesday.
Mr. Bangs argued a motion before
the court, asking that his client be ad
mitted to bail. State's Attorney Wine
man opposed the motion, and Judge
McLoughlin took the matter under ad
visement. deciding at 6 o'clock that he
would not admit the prisoner to bail.
He was remanded to the custody of
the sheriff, but a motion to admit to
bail may be argued before Judge Fisk,
of the district court.
Owing to the current talk at Lari
more for several weeks, or ever since
the death of William Murtaugh, the ar
rest of Mr. Keenan did not occasion
any great amount of surprise there.
The evidence that has been secured
against him will be made public for the
first time at the preliminary hearing
Tuesday and Wednesday.
BOGUS MONEY!"
Bottineau Courant: Deputy Sheriff
R. H. Paul of Souris, brought Frank
Miorris down from there on Tuesday
morning's train and placed him in the
county jail. The charge against Mor
ris is passing counterfeit money. He
went into the New Clothing store in
Souris and purchased a sweater from
Bert Hartstein, giving in payment a
bogus $20 bill. The fraud was detected

ENTHUSIASTIC TEACHER.
Bottineau News: It takes courage
when a teacher will get up at 4 o'clock
in the morning and drive thirty-five
miles on a day like last Friday in order
to be present at a teachers' association.
This is what Miss Elda Kemp did who
attended the association at Oniemee. T.
H.
Mellott and a few others also came
from considerable distances that day.
This ought to make the teacher who
lacks interest and stays at home for
some reason best known to herself

herself even if she lives only a few

From a numerical point of view Sert^

the United States, and probably of the
world, but he finds that he has too
much to do. Therefore he has deter

of the seventy or more corporations
with which he has been connected. It
is not generally known that for over
a year Mr. Depew has had little or
nothing to do with the actual manage

A MODERN ABSALO%
A Comparison of Present Day MethoM WHIi
Those of King David's Time.
Topeka Journal: The man who criti
cises the administration because the
government is not run to suit1"him is
by no means a modern production.
The "outs" cntised the methods of
the "ins" and made all sorts of promi
ses of reform thousands of years ago,
just as they do today. The.1 dema
gogue has been doing in politics ever
since human governments w&re first
established.
Away back in the early. history of
the kingdom of Israel ther^ were
troubles of this kind. For instance,
ther was Absalom. He wanted to be
king himself, instead of only k king's
son. So he set about criticising the
administration and telling the people
that if he were running things he
would see that they all got just what
they wanted. The fact that the king
was his father, David, and one of the
best rulers that ever sat 011 the throne
didn't cut any ice with him—he found
things to criticise just the same and
started a boss busters' movement.
This is the way he did: He loafed
around what corresponded to Copeland
country in Jerusalem, and whenever
anybody came to town who wanted
something of the king, Absalom warm
ed up to him, found out what he want
ed, and said he ought to have it. Of
course thei:e were plenty of office seek
ers in those days, the same as now,
and whenever one of these came to
Jerusalem, Absalom took him off into
the corner of the lobby, expectorated
in his ear, and said if he were Only
king he would give, the office deeker
the job in a minute. HereT is thfe way
„the good, book tells about it:
"And Absalom rose up early and
$tood beside .tfce way of the gate and
when any man that had a controversy
came to the king for judgment, tliein
Absalom called to him and said: ,'Of
what city art thou?' And he said: "I*hy
servant is of o^e the tribes of Israel.'
And Absalom1said unto him: 'Se*
thy matters are good and right but
there is no man deputed of the king to
hear thee. Absalom said, moreover:
'Oh, that I were made judge in the
land, that any man which hath any suit
or cause might come unto me, and I
would do him justice.
"And it was so that when any man
came nigh unto him to do him obei
sance, he put forth his hand, and took
him and ki?|gd him. And bn this man
ner did Absalom to all Israel that came
to the king for judgment."
Ever see a politician do that, way?
They bob up in every campaign. And
between campaigns they go around
criticising the administration and tell
ing how much better they could do if
they were only running the govern
ment.
Absalom got a lot of people to be
lieving that he was right—enough to
make King David a lot of trouble, and

MAXWELL'S
POSTITION
The Chairman of the Executive Com
mlttee Made an Enthusiastic
Speech in St. Pat l.
He Believes North Dakotans Dakotans
Should Receive the Benefit df
Money Seccured Here.
St. Paul Globe: On invitation of Ben
jamin F. Bea'rdsley, general secretary
of the National Irrigation Association
twenty-five business men were entertain*
ed at luncheon yesterday at the Com
mercial Club, to. meet George H. Max
well, executive chairman of the asso
ciation. Mr. Maxwell was passing
through the city to confer upon matters
relating to the work in North Dakota
with H. C. Plumley of Fargo, and ad
vantage was taken of the opportunity to
have him meet some of the people of St.
Paul, and to have them hear from him
of the importance, the progress and the
future of irrigation interests.
Mr. Maxwell was introduced by
President Smith, of the Commercial
Club, and spoke with great enthusiasm
and complete knowledge .of, his sub
ject. He said, in part:
"1 am glad to comply with a request
to interest the business men of this
city in irrigation efforts, to tell them
what .will be done and to show them
how deeply their own interests are in
volved. Great projects, as you all
know, are now under way. The irri
gation fund already amounts to $16,-
enough to carry out the plans
under way. for perhaps two years to
come.
"By far the greatest contributors to
this fund, derived from the proceeds of
public land sales, are the states of
North Dakota and Oregon. The big en
terprises contemplated are outside of
the limits of those states, and the peo
ple of North Dakota are in favor of a
practice that will permit the funds ac
cumulating under the irrigation law to
be expended where they are raised.
"You may suppose that, as one inter
ested in the whole great irrigation
scheme, I would look upon this with
disfavor. On the contrary, it meets
with my hearty approval. The irriga
tion projects to which the country is
wisely committed are of enormous
magnitude. In the valleys of the Co
lumbia, the Yellowstone, the Snake, the
Sacramento and the Colorado there
are tens of millions of acres tliat may
be reclaimed by projects that will cost
from $10,000,000 to $50,000,000 each. An
underestimate of the population which
these reclaimed lands will support is
50,000,000 people. And the land so pre
pared for cultivation will be worth im
mediately from $100 to $500 per acre.
"These great works will be carried
through eventually by a larger policy
on the part of the general government.
The proceeds of public land sales
would never be adequate. The govern
ment will prosecute them by the aid of
direct appropriations, charged up against
the irrigation fund, and repaid by
charges upon the land so made available.
We are scarcely yet at the beginning of
the great irrigation idea and its accom
jlishment.
"The first effort of every friend of
irrigation should be to secure the re
peal of the existing desert land and
stone acts. The irrigation fund will
not suffer. Its receipts from these
sources are not worth considering. But
the opportunity which they afford for
fradulent appropriation of the very
lands tliat we are seeking to recover
must be taken away. These are the
areas that irrigation will make most
valuable and their alienation must be
prevented.
"There is another phase of irrigation
that is too little understood. Men think,
of it generally as the reclaiming of ac
tually desert and unproductive land.
But an absolute control of the water
supply will enhance the productiveness
and increase the value of other land$.
Take North Dakota, for example. All
that she contributes to the fund could
be expended most profitably within her
boundaries. If land can be what is
called "winter-flooded that is, if it
can be saturated with water before it
freezes in the fall, then the moisture
is there when the seed is planted in thp
spring, and there can. be no fear of
drought. With ditches to carry off the
excess and irrigation canals to supply,
a deficiency, the productiveness and
the value of North Dakota lands would
be increased at least fivefold."
In answer to a question relating to
the direct interest of St. Paul business
men in these projects, Mr. Maxwell re
ferred to the experience of Los Angelej
and Omaha. In the former city, though
the areas to be irrigated are not directly

Mt. Maxwell's remarks were listened
to with great interest and received
with hearty and repeated applause. At
their close President Smith introduced
Professor Shaw, who spoke briefly of his
interest in irrigation projects, and their
value to the state and to the whole
Northwest. Mr. Beardsley spoke briefly
on the interest manifested here in irri
gation, and the gentlemen present after
ward had an opportunity to meet Mr.
Maxwell personally.

why they should be denied the privi

tha,t he had not mojre relatives to give

tributary to it, the business men stated
that the making of the surveys had so
increased their trade by the demand for
supplies that they had derived great
benefit, and that they therefore saw that
the actual construction work would add
millions to their commerce. Omaha also
expected that her population would
double in ten years arid her business
grow correspondingly through the com
pletion of irrigation projects on the
North Platte. "What," asked Mr. Max
well, '"may not the merchants of St.

the carrying out of these gigantic plans,
but from the settlement of tens of mil
