THE MASK REMOVED.
Por some time past The Evening
Times has had occasion to refer to Mr.
Winship's connection with an unlaw
ful printing combine of some of the
state printing establishments, through
the medium of which, for several years
past, the state has been mulcted of
sums aggregating many thousands of
dollars on contracts for public print
ing through the machinations of this
illicit cabal.
Inasmuch as there has been some
doubt expressed in certain quarters as
to the truth of these implied charges,
and In deference to the many impor
tunities of representative citizens and
business men that The Evening Times
be more explicit in its statements as
regards the modus operandi of this
«i*antlc steal—the following open let

Grand Forks, N. D., June 12, 1906.
Editor of The Evening Times, City:
Dear Sir: I have noticed in your
paper for some time past cartoons and
articles reflecting on the integrity of
one of the foremost citizens of Grand
Forks, and one who has been identified
with the political, social and material
development of our city, a man who
stands high in the estimation, I be
lieve, of nearly every resident who has
a personal acquaintance with him.
I refer to Mr. Geo. B. Winshlp, editor
of the Grand Forks Herald. Those of
us who have lived here for the past
quarter of a century with Mr. Winship
as a neighbor do not need to have a
paper of five months of age to tell us
about a man that we have associated
with for twenty-five years.
You have Indulged in cartoons and
innuendoes bringing into question Mr.
Winship's integrity.
Now, as a newspaper—and right here
I am willing to give The Evening Times
credit for the work it is doing for
Grand Forks I will say that it is a
newspaper in every sense of the word
and a credit to our city and one of the
institutions that we are proud of—
therefore, as a newspaper, it is about
time that you submitted something
defihlte if you have anything, to back
up your campaign against Mr. Win
ship. I do not understand that Mr.
Winship is a candidate for office.
You recently published cartoons and
statements referring to some under
handed or illegal printing transaction
that Mr. Winship was identified with
in which the state was illegally de
prived of certain monies through Mr.
Winship's co-operation. Will you
please state whether you have any
thing to back up these statements or
whether it is idle rumor, and if so,
don't you think that the public is en
titled to all the facts? Yours truly,
—Citizen.
TIIE DEATH PENALTY.
Tucker, the Massachusetts murder
er, has paid the penalty of his
crime by death in the electric chair.
Every available point of law had been
utilized in his behalf and as a last
resort, an appeal was made to Presi
dent Roosevelt to interfere in behalf
of the condemned man. This he re
fused to do, as he said the law had
been fully complied with.
His death will again start the period
ical discussion of whether or not
capital punishment should be abolish
ed, and whether in retaining this relic
of barbarism, we, as the leader of the
civilization of the world, are not
making the advancement in humani
tarianism we should.
So far as the ethical question is
concerned it is true that the methods
of punishing criminals have changed
more even than has our principles of
criminal law and criminal procedure.
At the same time it is worth remem
bering that human nature has changed
but little. While human life has a
higher value than in the centuries
past, the passions which prompt men
to commit crime have not changed in
the least Jealousy was the cause of
the first murder, and hatred, malice,
envy and greed are just as strong in
the hearts of those who posess them as
they ever were in the members of the
human family. Not such a large pro
portion of mankind are controlled by
them as once were, but the individual
in whose breast they still rankle are
just as much influenced by them as
were those from whom these traits
were inherited.
So long as these passions sway the
minds of men, there will be crimes
committed. The one for which Tucker
went to his death was one of the
most cold blooded and fiendish in the
annals of crime. A helpless woman
was lured to a dark street by a false
message and deliberately stabbed to
death by a fiend whom she had never
offended. There seemed to be no mo
tive except a brutal craving for blood.
So far as society is concerned there
is no doubt but that it is far better
off without such individuals. The only
question is what Is best to do with
them. To allow them to run at
large would be to endanger other lives
worth more to the world in one minute
than the other could it be extended
for an eternity. Over zealous men and
women in their sympathy for the de
prave'.criminals too often forget that
they are urging
a
condition which may
endanger other lives.
The criminal must be so restrained
that he will not have an opportunity
to endanger others. Therefore he
must be confined during his life or
his own life must be taken. The lat
ter is the most effective method for
there remains no danger to society.
The other permits the rectifying of
mistakes should any be committed and
an innocent man would not be punish
ed. ?.-• -vSH
The true tins of deaaarkatkm should
be the depravity or lack of depravity

on the part of the criminal. If his
reason is swept from its bearings by
the acts and conduct of the victim, or
if he is redressing a genuine wrong,
he is not a criminal in the same cat
egory as the man who like Tucker took
took the life of his victim in cold
blood and wiith the most fiendish
intent.
There should be some means of
inculcating a wholesome fear of the
law and respect for the rights of
others in the minds of men like him,
and the only thing which will reach
such is corporal fear. If life sentences
in the penitentiaries of the land would
strike terror to the minds and hearts
of the depraved criminals there would
be no crying demand in civilization
for the hideous spectacle of death by
operation of law. In fact, in this
modern age it has been so arranged
that the death of the culprit has no
terrors for his fellow criminals. The
fearful horrors that must haunt him
as he sits in his death cell counting
away the minutes of his life, well
knowing that at a fixed time what is
dearest to every individual will be
taken from him. Then the thoughts
that must pass through his mind as he
mounts the scaffold arid his arms are
pinioned and the black cap is drown
over his eyes! Could these be present
ed to the criminals of the world there
would be little inducement for them
to risk a similar fate.
But civilization has refused to make
a public spectacle of the death tortures
of men when so depraved. This being
true, it is probable that the living
death within the confines of prison
walls where others may at least know
of the torture being undergone would
have more wholesome effect upon
those inclined to acts of crime than
does the execution of the criminals.
There is little sympathy for the man in
prison stripes, but there is for the one
who undergoes mental torture worse
than Dante's Inferno were it real, and
then is deliberately shot into eternity.
AFTER THE FACTORIES.
The city of Fargo seems to have to
some extent profited by the agitation
of an increased population for this
city by the Evening Times. The Cass
county metropolis has decided that it
wants twenty-five thousand people and
is going to get them. The city has a
club which is devoting its entire energy
to the purpose of securing the re
quisite number of citizens.
It is not the purpose of the club to
force an overgrown condition on the
city by getting in a great army of
men who will have no means of sub
sistance, nor to induce more business
men to come to the city until their
coming will not injure the interests
of those already there.
The real purpose for which the club
is working is indicated by the agree
ment which the members sign, which
reads:
Fargo should have
25,000
permanent
residents being convinced that this
number can be secured through the
united efforts of the 14,000 now in the
city by systematic advertising, to the
end that manufacturers, investors and
business men may be attracted by the
advantages Fargo can offer, I hereby
authorize the enrollment of my name
as a member of the commercial club
25,000
committee, and agree to pay one
dollar per year until Fargo has a
population of 25,000 people, provided
that I continue my residence in the
city.
Fargo is doing just what Grand
Forks must do. She is setting her
claims before the public and doing
it so effectively that results must
necessarily follow. It has been the
contention of the Evening Times from
the first issue that no city can pass
a certain size if it is alone dependent
upon the agricultural resources of the
country, for the land will support a
fixed number and beyond that it can
not go.
Whenever the population becomes
larger, the increase must depend up
on some of the industrial businesses.
A factory which would employ three
hundred men would support as many
people as would three hundred
quarters of land.
The reducing of the size of the farms
will not answer the purpose, for the
bonanza farms now support nearly if
not altogether, as many families as
hired help as could be supported if
each man so employed owned a
quarter.
The establishment of manufacturies
in this city would not place the men
In competition with our present
farmers and by increasing it would
give the farmers a market for
quantities of his products which are
now valueless because of the lack of
ah available market.
Fargo means to get these manu
factures if they can be procured, and
by this means increase the population
of the city, give the business men a
greater field, and increase the value
of every man's property In the city.
THE SEASON WHY.
La Moure county will send an un
pledged delegation to the state con
vention at Jamestown. The state
ment is more than significant. For
the last two years the ablest
of the disruption movement has filled
scores of columns with matter cal-
C»"
THE EVENING TIMES, GRAND FO]
culated to diBtort the facts and by
insinuation perjudice the public in
favor of the Spalding political scheme.
It Is no flattery to say that the ablest
advocacy of the disruption move
ment came from that county.
But when the time came for the
selection of the men who were to
select the standard bearers of the re
publican party, they could not con
trol sufficient strength to even at
tempt to select delegates. The result
is not far to seek and not only sheds
light upon that county but upon the
conditions in other counties of the
state.
La Moure is an old settled county,
and while there are new people com
ing in every week, the vast majority
of its citizens are those who have lived
in the county long enough to know
the political history of the state. They
know who has given it the most ideal
system of state government of any ln
the union they know the political
history of the leading disruptionists,
and the reasons for their hatred of all
that is true republicanism.
Knowing these things these men
needed no education from such men as
have delegated to themselves the right
to dictate to the people. They could
not be deceived by the clamor of those
hungry for the loaves and fishes.
This .illustrates to a great extent
the reason for the half hearted hearing
which has been given the disruption
leaders in the only parts of the state
where they have been considered as
anything other than a huge joke. The
new comers to the state not having
had an opportunity to investigate the
insinuations made against the republi
can party, have been willing to assist
in cleaning out the corruption and
thievery which the disruption leaders
have insinuated was behind every state
and national officer. This is all there
ever was to the disruption crowd.
As these new citizens are being
given the facts and the public acts of
the fraudulent reformers they are
turning from the movement just as
fast as it is possible for them to do
so. Moreover, they are learning that
it was an attempt to impose upon
their confidence and use them for the
purpose of carrying out their own
selfish and malicious ends, and they
are openly rebelling at the plan.
Those who are at the head of ,the
scheme are men who have been long
enough in the state to be found out.
They can not deceive those who know
them, and this is the reason why in
their desperation they have turned to
those who did not know them.
PAYING FOR THE LAND.
Reports from the western counties
of the state are to the effect that the
present crop prospects indicate a most
stupendous yield. The rains which
have largely destroyed the crops in
the valley have put the dryer lands
of the west in such moisture conditions
that even if there is no rain of conse
quence from this time until the crops
are harvested, little if any injury can
result. This would mean an almost
unprecedented increase in land values
in the newer parts of the state, and
will furthermore cause a rush of im
migration to the yet unsettled regions
that would make the early days seem
like child play.
The truth is that nowhere on the
face of the earth can such opportun
ities be found for the man who wants
to become rich as are offered in North
Dakota." In the counties now promis
ed the greatest crop lands have been
selling from ten to twenty dollars per
acre. If the present crop prospect
IB
realized and a fair price is obtained,
the year's profit will nearly if not
quite pay the farmer the market value
of his land.
The result will be that homeseekers
will turn their attention from the
Canadian northwest and fill up the
vacant places in North Dakota. The
government land will be taken regard
less of conditions and facilities, and
every unbroken quarter under private
ownership will be purchased by an
actual farmer if the land can be pur
chased at anything near a reasonable
price.
This means a great and substantial
boom for the state and another upward
rush in our prosperity.
Although it may be justly charged
that lt is none of its affairs, still, for
fear that the matter may be in ad
vertantly overlooked. The Evening
Times would suggest that the state
press association during its annual
session at Valley City next month
should not fail to express its deep
sense of appreciation to the Hon.
Burleigh F. Spalding for having re
cently, in a public address at Larl
more, denominated the members of
that organization, without distinction,
as being utterly devoid of brains.
This bold assertion of the ex-salary
grab grafter Is taken from the steno
graphic notes tf his address made
on the spot by Mr. E. L. Richter,
editor of the -Larimore Pioneer. As
the gentleman's acquaintance with
newspaper publishers of the stats Is
undoubtedly limited to those of the
fraternity who are supporting bin.
y*~CU VJ?WS?S
it is by no means an Imposlbllity that
he was—in a measure—correct in his
contention.
The Herald gleefully quotes the al
ways unreliable Willow City Eagle as
declaring Ed A. Smith, the present edi
tor of the Bottineau Courant, as being
"a minion of Henry C. Hansbrough's."
This in the face of the fact that the
Herald is well aware—none more so—
that Smith and his late paper which he
conducted at Devils Lake—the Free
Press—was ever bitterly antagonistic
to Hansbrough and his interests. The
Eagle may not have known this—lt
being generally conceded that there is
much, very much, that its simian edi
tor is not apprised of.
SUITE COMMENT
The Herald's muck-rake correspond
ent, Mr. Packard, who demonstrated
so thoroughly that he was an abso
lute failure as a preacher is now dem
onstrating that he has no ability in
the line of newspaper reporting. If
he had he would not follow the foot
steps of Burleigh F. Spalding and
make such absolutely misleading state
ments as that the state had issued
$150,000.00 in bonds during this admin
istration to cover extraordinary ex
penses, when both he and Spalding
know that these bonds were issued to
cover expenses incurred during Gover
nor White's administration, and that
the reason the same was made was to
take care of deficits at the University,
Agricultural college. Valley City nor
mal school and the School for the
Deaf and Dumb at Devils Lake and
$150,000.00 of bonds against the state,
which bonds they had money on hand
to pay, but as a business proposition
they did exactly what good business
men would do, re-issue the bonds at a
low rate of Interest, thereby saving to
the state several thousands of dollars
in stopping the 7 per cent Interest
being paid on the Indebtedness of the
above named Institutions. If the study
of theology had instilled Into the mind
of this muck rake correspondent of
the Herald the least spirit of fairness
he would consider it beneath his
dignity to write such misleading
articles as he has been engaged in
writing during the past sixty days.
In his speech at Larimore, Salary
Grab Spalding made an attack upon
the newspaper men of the state In gen
eral. He said it required no brains
to run a country weekly. And to illus
trate this point he told a story as fol
lows:
Once upon a time a man suffering
from a severe headache for days con
sulted a physician. The doctor bored
a hole in the top of his head and dis
covered that the patient's brains were
diseased. "My good man," the doctor
exclaimed, "it will be necessary for
me to remove your brains and renovate
them. Inasmuch as the process of
Cleaning will require some time you
can call tomorrow at which time I will
have your brains cleaned and replace
them in your head." The man's brains
were removed and repaired, but the
patient did not return on the following
day. Several days elapsed and the
doctor becoming alarmed started out
to hunt the man up. Finding him on
the street the doctor said: "My good
man, why didn't you come back to
get your brains
Oh, I don't need them," was the
prompt reply. "I am thoroughly happy
and contented without them, and I
don't need them in my business."
"What business are you engaged ln?"
asked the startled physician.
"I am running a newspaper in this
town," the patient replied.
"And this," said Mr. Spalding, "is
the condition these North Dakota edi
tors would find their heads if they
should have them examined."
At the meeting In Thompson held by
Jas. H. Bosard of Grand FVrks. when
asked about the state printing con
tract he evaded the question by saying
that when he attended church he went
to the Presbyterian church but that he
did not agree with everyone who at
tended that church, thereby admitting
that he did not believe In Winship
and that he did not foster crookedness
even In the Insurgent camp and failed
absolutely to give the insurgent lead
ers any credit All the speakers for
the disruptionists are ashamed of the
actions of such insurgent leaders as
Winship, Devlne Sorlie. Major Murphy
and Spalding.

Which Was Right!
[Glenburn Advance.]
We know of one party that has been
solicited to become a delegate to the
republican state convention by both
factions In Ward county. The so
called good government league wanted
him to run as a delegate, but he must
first promise to be against the repub
licans now in control. Just so he was
against the onps now in control it
didn't make much difference what he
stood for. The other faction of the
republican party that requested this
person to run re4uested him to do so
on the platform that he was to do
what he deemed best for Ward coun
ty. He could be for or against the
present state machine just -so he rep
resented the republicans of this coun

All are the Same.
[York Ledger.]
While some of the public advocates
of the reform movement are, no doubt
sincere. It is difficult to select the
sincere from those who are using the
movement for personal and political
advancement It does not seem to us
consistent that the very men who have
held office under what they term the
"gang" and as per their advocacy
they want reformed, are the proper
persons to take up this movement, for
the reason had they continued to hold
office, we do not think they would be
heard Of in the reform movement
Question: Was there any need of re
form in the "gang" when these peo
ple were In ofBce? Has the need or
reform but came to their notice since,
they left the "gang?" It is beyond our
comprehension to believe in their
sincerity.
They Forget the. Truth.
[Kenmare News.]
The clamity howlers persist ln cen
tering their attacks upon United
States 8enator Hansbrough regardless
of the fact that his term of office does
not expire this year, and they make a
general howl against him, as well as
Senator McCumber and our Congress
men. Yet with all their efforts, and
the noise they are making, their at
tempts fall flat and they have said
nothing. The people of Ward county
remember and appreciate the efforts
of Senator Hansbrough to prevent
Canadian wheat being brought into
United States to their detriment They
will remember the work of the entire
delegation to secure, better grading
of grain and federal supervision of it
ln order that our people may get the
grade they deserve for their grain. If
these fellows told theitroth they would
be reporting that during the present
session of congress the North Dakota
representative* hive been working for
the good of North Dakota upon every
bill that has been up for consideration
snd have done a.great amount of work
On all the Important legislation of the
year.

The play, "The Rivals," on which
the seniors of the university have been
laboring faithfully for several months,
will be presented for the first time to
night at the opera house in this city.
The advance sale of seats has been
unusually heavy and a large attend

play is by far the heaviest one ever
attempted by a local company and
hard training and efficient coaching
are alone responsible for the way it is
handled. The cast Is as follows:
Sir Anthony AbsoluteThomas B. Crafer
Captain Jack Absolute.. Bruce Jackson
Bob Acres J. p. Conmy
Faulkland John Williams
Thomas, coachman A A. Johnson
Fag. David Boise
