you,

they came was postmarked,
no one could tell. I only knew,
reports, that you
the pretended league.
It seems to me a strange thing that
you should deBire to credit my letter
"to a distinguished citizen of James
town" whom you once or twice had
not favored with political "plums." Of
course you are not personally ac
quainted with us humble, back prairie
farmers, but, nevertheless, we have
schools and good teachers, and did
not suppose needed to borrow lan
guage to address even our ex-congress
men, although I fully admit there aie
many who could do somore beautifully
than we.
As to your not having shook the
"plum tree" so that me fruit should
fall in some particular "basket," I
know of only one instance when the
"regular republican- organization" of
this county requested, and you re
fused, to appoint the man recommend
ed and that was in the case of a little
postofflce not many miles east of
Jamestown, where you secured the ap
•pointment, not of the candidate recom
mended by the republican committee,,
but, of the candidate recommended
by the "howlers" of the party, who de
sired the office for political aggran
dizement and. over which hue and cry
was raised at their seeming success,
by the same- (your) "howlers." Now
it is a known fact that "within two
years after you so filled this little
office of postmaster, up there, contrary
to the desire of the local committee,
at this same little burg, your appointee
was repioved by the government after
the special inspector, had made him
dig up $1,940 belonging to Uncle Sam.
Is this not securing appointments for
graft purposes which you so loudly
denounce?
Do Roosevelt republicans desire
such appointees? Have you any apol
ogy to offer for this appointment—the
only one in this county contested—and
in which it seems, you appointed,
knowingly and purposely, the wrong
man?
I note your disdainful disclaimer of
connection with Murphy, of Minot,
Glaspell of ,Jamestown, Lauder of
Wahpeton, White of Valley City, John
son of Petersburg and that you be
long to a different class. I note, too,
that you have J. J. Nierling of our
metropolis as an officer in your league.
He ^disclaims connection therewith
and says he has nothing to do with it.
Ton say your league is endeavoring
to exert its reforms within the G. O.
P. Well, if any are really needed, I
hope you are. But a little history
arises before me as to the good faith
of the assertion. As I remember it,
about 1892, yourself was- the body,
head, shoulders, and the very soul
of the G. O. P. in North Dakota. You
were then the chairman of the state
republican central committee and had
entire control of the party works, and
the people arose enmasse and voted
oar G. O. P. down at the polls. Don't
you remember it?
This was the fall when you really
conducted the corporation and monop
oly and of the political campaign to
control North Dakota, and as I re
member it, the only time in North
Dakota, when the party for which our
beloved Lincoln gave his life's blood,
was ever defeated. Won't you be so
kind as to enlighten me along this line
a little? Tell me, won't you please,
why you headed the corporations then,
im their attempted\ greedy control of
the G. O. P. of North Dakota?
ATTORNEY JEROME TAKES A SHOT AT
IL MAGAZINE
And Scores the American People for Becoming Hysterical
Over the Foolish Clap-Trap of the Yellow
Journal Order.
New York, March 28.—District Attor
ney Jerome hit out at bis critics to
night Standing behind the speaker's
table at the Delta Upsilon dinner at
the Savoy hbtel and facing 500 of his
fellow members, who had shouted
themselves hoarse at him, Mr. Jerome
made a speech which for bitterness has
probably never been equaled at any
public banquet.
It was not alone hlB own critics
that Mr. Jerome went after tonight.
He also assailed with equal bitterness
the magazine exposers for defaming
their country and bringing on a reign
of what he described as hysteria. But
ft was when he came down to hli} own
critics that Mr. Jerome had the most
to say. He attacked the newspapers
first and followed this with an attack
on Judge Parker and others who, he
•aid, had In the cray of the moment
lost their senses and wanted him to
do things without evidence.
A Nation in Hysterics.
Mr. Jerome said, In part:
"Public opinion goes hither and
thither like a ship, but in the long
course of time it-la sweet and sane

Today all through .this nation what do
we find?' A Case of absolute hysteria.

I read your circular of novels on

pleasure and have to thank you (I

the writer of the same, and desire to
know Whether he is the same "Rex"
who played in the variety houses of
Alaska?
Does some one claim to carry the
supreme court in his pocket? Certainly
no one ever, hereabouts, heard of it
except, that one of our county papers,
apparently ji supporter of yours, used
to tell us what all the courts would
do, l^it it does that no more.
You don't mention whom the courts
have so miserably branded, and I can
only guess by inference. But having
been out west once and having be
come a little familiar with mines and
heard about how some of the coast
judges belong to and own or are own
ed, body and soul, by some of the sky
scraper mining syndicates, I am not
surprised at the assertion of Attorney
General Knox, that the San Francisco
court has perpetrated one of the most
high handed, outrageous travesties on
justice, known since the fifteenth cen
tury, when that court surreptitiously
sent one of our citizens to jail.
Now, is not this man Winship, whom
you disown as a .member of your
league, the same feljow who runs the
printing outfit at Grand Forks?
Is he not the same fellow, who with
one or two other printers, have mo
nopolized the state printing and grab
bed the state for many thousands of
dollars? If I remember aright, once,
when I was at Bismarck, someone was
going to introduce a bill to investigate
Winship and the state printing. Is
this the same Winship?
You ask if it is not time, when the
reputation of men become bad, to re
form men and parties. Why, really it
should depend upon who attempts'to

those who attempt to throw the black
cannot honestly- follow the saying of
our divine Savior, viz:
"Let him who is without sin cast
the first stone." Then I think little or
no heed should be paid to the rot
given. Instead, not many years ago
a man, running fpr office in this dis
trict, was besmeared with slime head
and shoulders above his maligners, for
every mouthful of the filth spewed
at him was as false as the calumina
tors. So, I like to find out the char
acter of him who throws the dye. And
now is not this fellow, Winship, cir

Would you not also explain to me
how it was that Just before the con
gress, at which you last attended as a
member, adjourned, you voted for the
congressman's salary grab, after the
United States government had fixed
your salary? Just tell me was this
graft? It amounted to something like
$300 or $400 to you, did that influence
you in voting for the graft bill, when
the senate stood as the "watchdog" of
the treasury and sounded the death
knell of the bill? It appeared to be a
bill prepared to feed a lot of hungry
congressmen, not returned by their
party. If I am wrong you will tell
me, won't you?
You complain of the capitol com
mission. Now, really, was this bill not
killed by a supreme court of three
members, two of whom were selected
by the republican convention which
turned you down, and as you admitted,
made you sore. Don't the supreme
court constitute a part of our state
government?
A great modern building in North

seem to me that if it's a hard thing
for the county fellows—the outer pre

helped under the primary election law,
how much harder would it be, for
some one of us, who might have as
pirations for a state office? Would
we not be compelled to make a cam

BIRTHDAY OF THE
TELEPHONE.
Boston, March 22.—The telephone
1b celebrating its thirtieth anniversary,
for it was in March 1876, on the top
floor of a boarding house in this city,
that A. Graham Bell, as he was called
in those days spoke to his associate,
Thomas A. Watson, the first words
ever transmitted electrically by wire.
The occasion was not Intended for
a historical picture. There was none
of the pomp and circumstance that
attended the sending of the first
message by telegraph. The two young
enthusiasts, one the theorist who
evolved the idea of transmitting ar
ticulate sounds by electricity, the other
a practical electric mechanician, were
the only witnesses. A. little more
than a year before Mr Bell had dis
covered that his theory of the tele
phone was practical, and since that
time they had worked night and day
to develop Instruments itliat would
make that discovery useful. But still
they were far from satisfied and on
this March day, in 1S76, they were
prepared for further experiments
Watson was listening at the instru
ment in his room. Suddenly, almost
unexpectedly, for it seemed almost
too marvelous a thlnsr to be true, he
heard Bell's voice. Faintly, yet dis
tinctly, these words came over the
wire to him: "Mr. Watson, come here.
I want you." That was the first
message ever delivered ^telephone.
Though informal, it was decisive. It
lifted telephony high out of the realm
of theory and experiment into that
practical realities.
Mr. Bell and Mr. Watson first met
in 1S4. At that time Mr. Bell was
professor of vocal physiology at Bos
ton university, and Mr Watson was a
young workman in the shop of a maker
of electrical apparatus at 109 Court
street, in this city. Mr. Bell visited
the shop to have made for him some
apparatus required in his experiments
with multiple telegraphy, or the idea
of transmitting several telegraph mess
ages simultaneously without Inter
ference with one another and the
work of constructing this apparatus
was assigned to Mr. Watson. That is
how the two men made the acquaint
ance of each other.
Bell one day confided to Watson his
belief that it was possible to devise'
apparatus by means of which the most
complex sound vibrations, even those
of the human voice, could be trans
formed into electrical vibrations at
one end of a telegraph wire, trans
mitted over the wire and he changed
back at the other end of the wire into
the original sounds without loss of
their most delicate over-tones. In
brief, his belief was that a telegraph
instrument that would talk could be
devised.
It was on June 2, 1875, while thev
were engaged In experimenting witii
the multiple or "harnionic" telegraph,
that the accident happened which con
vinced Bell that his idea of telephony
was capable of realization. Mr. Bell
was engaged in returing one of the
springs of the receiver in his room,
and to ascertain If the pitch was cor
rect he had pressed it against his ear
and was listening to the faint sound
of the Intermittent current passing
through the magnet. All at once the
spring of the receiver In the other
room stopped vibrating, and, to start
it, Mr. Watson snapped it with his
finger. With a shout of excitement
Mr. Bell came rushing out and asked
what had been done. Mr. Watson ex
plained. "Do it again." said Bell, and
Watson spent the rest of the day
.•napping Springs.
This is what had' happened: Tlie
spring that Mr. Watson had snapped
had become permanently magnetized
by long use near Its magnet, and con
sequently was in a condition to gen
erate by its vibration the undulatory
electric current which forms the basic
principle of telephony. Bell had heard,
not mere rattle, but the exact sound
made by the spring as it vibrated,
and now he realized that it was
practical to transmit and reproduce
other sounds in the same fashion.
Such an undulatory current had un
doubtedly been generated many times
before, but, as Mr. Watson says, never
before had it reached the ear of a
man whose mind had been prepared by
years of thought and training to* per
ceive instantly what it meant. The ac
cident simply confirmed and corrobor
ated Bell's preconceived idea, just as
the failing of an apple converted

Newton's Idea of gravitation into a
law.
After this Bell's Interest in multiple
telegraphy gavfe Way to his enthus
iasm over his idea of telephony. He
and Watson hired rooms in Exeter
Place and there they worked until
the telephone became an accomplished
fact
Three months after the first message
had been delivered by telephone Bell
exhibited his invention at the Cent
ennial in Philadelphia. It made a
great Impression on the scientists who
visited the exposition. Sir William
Thomson (now Lord Kelvin) report
ed: "I need hardly say that I was
astonished and delighted. So were the
others, including some judges of our
group, who witnessed the experiment
and verified with their own ears the
electric transmission of speech. This,
perhaps the greatest marvel hither
to achieved by the electric telegraph,
has been obtained by appliances of
quite a homespun rudimentary kind."
The first telephone was indeed, a
rude affair compared with the com
pact and convenient, apparatus that
nowadays stands on the business man's
desk, but, appearances aside, it was
serviceable. The question in the minds
of the two young men who were at
work perfecting it was how far it
could carry sound. Finally in October,
1S7I), they decided to make their first
experiment in 'long distance" tele
phony. Previous to that time they had
been telephoning only from one room
to another in their apartment in Exeter
Place. Now they arranged for the use
of a private telegraph line belonging
to the Walworth Manufacturing com
pany. The line ran from the com
pany's ofiice in Boston to the factory
in Cambridgeport, a distance of about
two miles.
On the evening of October 9, Mr.
Bell took charge of the Boston station
and Mr. Watson ol" the Cambridgeport
station, and, at a signal given by
telegraph, they connected their tele
phones with ihe wire and began to
converse. The experiment was entire
ly successful. Mr. Watson reports that
on his way back to Boston he could
scarcely restrain himself from telling
the other passengers in the car of the
unprecedented achievement in whici
he had just, taken part. As for Iteil.
some idea of his feelings may lie
gleamed from the fact that when lie
burst into the laboratory at Exeter
Place he grasped his associate by the
shoulders, whirled him around the
room, and exclaimed, "Watson, this
night's work will make me famous."
In May, 1S77, the first Bell Telephone
company issued circulars announcing
that it was ready for business. The
stockholders were Mr. Bell, Gardiner
Green Hubbard (Bell's father-in-law),
Thomas Sanders of Salen, and Mr.
Watson. There was trouble in the air
over patents, and the prospects were
anything but encouraging. At one time
the company presented to the Western
Union Telegraph company, which
threatened to become its most for
midable opponent, a proposition to
sell all its patents, rights andproperty
for $100,000 but the telegraph men
rejected the proposition and prepared
to fight the matter out in the courts.
It was lucky for the Bell company
that the proposition which it had made
in a moment of doubt and discourage
ment was not accepted, for. though the
ensuing lawsuits were costly, the re
sult, In every Instance, Tyas a victory
for the Bell side and thus stimulated,
the telephone company pushed for
ward to developments the like of which
the world had never seen.
Yet this overwhelming popular suc
cess came as a surprise. In a moment
of enthusiasm, after the company was
started, Mr. Watson said to a friend:
"Why, by 1900 there'll be 100,000 tele
phones in this country." When he
thought this over a little later he felt
almost ashamed of his extravagance.
Neither he nor Mr. Bell, nor anyone
else connected with the telephone in its
infancy, ever dreamed of living to see
the universal application of the in
vention. But facts are stranger even
than dreams. In 1S00.. instead of the
100,000 telephone subscribers madly
predicted by Mr. Watson, the Bell
company had nearly 650,000 subscrib
ers and today they have more than
2,200,000. The original Bell company
advertised that it was "prepared to
furnish telephones for the transmission
of articulate speech through Instru
ments not more than 20 miles apart."
Today the record for long distance in
business transactions is 1.950 miles,
made over the Bell lines between Bos
ton and Little •-Rock. Arkansas.
In the old days, even in the circular
issued by the first Bell company, the
wires were refered to as telegraph
lines." What at first was meant by
the telephone was simply the apar
atus for transmitting and receiving,
whereas today the term telephone in
cludes not only the transmitter and
receiver, but the wonderful switch
board with its thousands of jacks or
swltchsockets for connecting one sub
scriber's line with another and the var
ious other pieces of aparatus and in
pay stations. But the principles die
covered by Mr. Bell and developed
under his direction and for which
patents were granted to him are still
as essential to the art of transmit
ting speech as they were 30 years
ago.
Both Mr. Bell and his assistant have
retain&I their Interest in scientific
pursuits. Mr. Bell, as Is well known.
Is devoting himself to the study of
aeronautics. Mr. Watson, who a few
years ago organized and a time served
as president of the Fore River com
pany at Quincy Point, which built
several battleships and destroyers for
the government, keeps up his scienti
fic work on his estate at East Brain

WASH DAY TALK

Bhe does not do the washing alone she hates to have
the trouble and muss. The easiest way out of such a
difficulty is to pack up your entire laundry and phone
for our wagon to call at your house. We'll do your work
at so low a price and do it so well that you'll never at
tempt to do it again.
