But no city in the country is more
dependent upon the railroads for its
prosperity than is Grand Porks. Bus
iness men who have given the matter
careful and considerate attention
claim that the immediate prosperity
of the city beyond its present limits
lies along the lines of its development
as a wholesale and jobbing center. If
this condition is true, it does not take
a statesman to see that the freight
schedules are the one thing essential
to our prosperity. We can force cer
tain conditions from the railroads by
the enactment of laws, but there has
never been a concession secured from
one of them by force.
It is questionable if the intemperate
and demagogic newspaper criticism,
intended to create prejudice against
the roads as such, rather than to con
vict them of having done the city and
the state an injustice, will not cause
them to Tefuse special considerations
for the development of the lines indi
cated in the city, and consequently
injure our prospective wholesale and
jobbing interests.
In the business world we somehow
forget the precepts taught in the Sun
day schools of loving our enemies as
ourselves, and the average business
man will send the job which he can
not do or the contract which he can
not accept to the man who has at some
time done him a favor rather than to
the one who has fought him at every
turn and caused him to work harder
to accomplish a certain end. Human
nature is much the same, and while
it is said that corporations are ficti
tious persons without souls, those who
have the directions of these soulless
persons are not so very far removed
from the average class of mortals and
are largely influenced by the same
motives as the rest of mankind.
Just at this time there is a tendency
on the part of those who are playing
the demagogue to attempt to array the
masses against all corporations and
especially against railroads. It is ad
mitted that if these institutions had
souls they would not be many of them
found among the just made perfect.

A SQUARE DEAL.
The Evening Times is ready to ad
mit the faults and shortcomings of
the railroads though it is accused of
being the tool of these roads because
it believes in giving them a square
deal, and co-operating with them rath
er than opposing them. If the rail
roads are responsible for the car
shortage in this state, and the condi
tion is one of their own making for
the purpose of injuring the state, they
should be punished and punished se
verely. In the same way, if the short
age of fuel in the northwest is found
to be due to any gross mismanage
ment on the part of the railroads, no
punishment is too severe to inflict up
on them.

But they are not the only dangers to
the country. They should be made
to obey the law. But in doing this it
is unnecessary to play the part of the
agitator. Criticism is right but it
should not be made the means of ac
complishing spite work to the injury
of the community. Let us have the
investigation, and if justified, the pun
ishment. But let us not cast any ad
vantages we have to .the winds merely
as a political play. Prosperity in the
city is a benefit to every man poli
tics may help a few but they are sel
dom discovered until after they are
dead.
NEEDED LEGISLATION.
There seems to be a general impres
sion that the coming session of the
legislature is to be devoted exclusively
to the consideration of political mat
ters—matters which concern the wel
fare and' success of certain political
designs. But the member who goes to
Bismarck with the impression that all
he has to do is to line up with his
crowd and vote, spending the rest of
his time in committing his politcal
opponents to the regions made hideous
by Dante's Inferno, will come home
with a small chance ever represent
ing his constituents again.
There are many things which need
remedying in the laws of the state and
which concern no political party or
effect no politician's ambitions. Among
these is a change in the present law
of foreclosure of mortgages. Under
the present plan a notice of foreclos
ure may be published in any news
paper in the county in which the real
estate is situated. This is all the not
ice the mortgagor has of the foreclos
ure proceedings.
Illustrative of the injury sometimes
wrought by these methods, let a case
be supposed in any fcirge county where
there are probably a dozen small pa
pers published, none of which circu
late to any general extent throughout
the county. If the land upon which
the mortgage is to be foreclosed is lo
cated in one end of the county, the
party foreclosing, if he is disposed to
defraud the mortgagor, will have the
notice published in the paper in the
part of the county not only farthest
removed from the premises, but at the
same time the one which has the least
circulation in the community in which
the land lies.
In many instances the mortgagor
never sees the notice and knows noth
ing of the foreclosure until the time
for redemption has expired. The pro
perty has probably brought not a
fourth of its value but the mortgagor
is helpless so far as redress is con
cerned.
The law should be so changed that
personal service of the notice of the
foreclosure upon the mortgagor
should be necessary unless an affidavit
is filed showing that he is not a res
ident of the state or that his address
and place of residence are unknown.
And in that case tue law should re
quire a notice to be printed on sub
stantial paper and posted on the front
of the residence located on the prop
erty if there be one, and in case there
is none, then that a post of at least ten
feet In height with a board sufficiently
large that the notice may be tacked
thereon placed at the top of the post
and the post erected within ten feet

of a public highway passing the prem
ises so intended to be sold.
The purpose of this would be to give
notice to the owner if he lived in the
immediate community, and if not, that
his friends might have notice and
warn him of the contemplated sale.
The notice of sale required to be
published under the present law was
never intended to serve as a notice to
the mortgagor. Its real purpose is to
give notice to the public for the pur
pose of procuring bidders at the sale.
It has been wrested from its intended
purpose and made to serve another
one for the benefit of those who are
seeking to defraud the unfortunate
out of their property.
One of the possibilities in this city
is the organization of the North Dako
ta National Guard. The matter has
been talked of in the past until it has
lost much of its interest, but the con
ditions are now ripe for the accom
plishment of the desired end. The
company can be organized at once of
as good material as can be found any
where. The citizens would give the
matter their hearty cooperation and
assistance. It is a shame that the
largest city in the state does not have
an organization of this kind. There are
half a dozen young men in the city
who would be glad to join. It would
give the city an advertisement which
it could procure in no other way.
The old gang has lost Its prestige.
Instead of going down to St. Paul to

done the Mahomet stunt and has
brought Minneapolib to North Dakota.

Pulse of the Press
The Herald's Figures.
(Walhalla Mountaineer.)
The Herald is again striving to stir
up trouble in the republican ranks by
prophesying that the insurgent faction
will join with the democrats as against
the stalwarts in securing control of
the organization. The Herald has
been a disturbing element for some
years—but we hope that its figures in
Saturday's issue will prove as cor
rect as those prior to the primaries—
which failed from beinz anywhere
near the mark.
Should Dig Up.
(Kmmons County Record.)
It has been charged and proven that
George Winship's Grand Forks Jierald
Printing company robbed the treas
ury of the state by entering into a
conspiracy to charge excessive and
outrageous prices for public printing.
Mr. Winship's attitude at present is
the Vanderbiltian one of "The public
be damned. I did it. What are you
going to do about it?" The session of
the legislature should not be very old
before a committee is appointed to as
certain the amount of the steal and
learn whether the sum stolen can be
recovered through the medium of the
courts.

A great many of the newspapers in
the state are trying to figure out what
Burke is going to do when he takes
his seat. There is no need of cross*
ing the bridge until we get to it, but
in all human probability those who
stood by the regular ticket will be
made to feel as a bark cast upon an
unknown shore. If we only could
climb over the fence and sing with
Oeo. Winship and the Herald that old
song "I told you so" that would be
glory enough and we might expect the

over our way. We are not of the kind
that sits on the fenee and won't play
because we are not the whole thing.
We still believe in the republican par
ty and the reforms needed will come
through that party. Such has been
the past history. The democratic par
ty will tire of Wlnshlp and the Her
ald.
No Insurgents Wanted.
(Jamestown Alert.)
The Grand Forks Evening Press
continues to have great fun with it
self and incidentally gets amusement
from the republicans as well over the
election of John Burke as governor,
and Judge Fisk as judge. The two
successful candidates on the democra
tic ticket. The Press intimates that
the democrats of the state will not
place much confidence in such repub
licans as M. N. Johnson, B. F. Spauld
ing or even Congressman Marshall,
as leaders of the newly hatched re
form element. The only way is for all

democrats to rally around John Burke,
give him their moral support and help
build up a real democratic opposition
that will get the entire loaf next trip.
The Press says:
"It is time to sacrifice your own
personal desires upon the altar of the
party fealty. Be a democrat." Don't
sign petitions of men you cannot trust.
Continuing in this direct fashion the
Press says:
"The appointments that John Burke
will make will have a great influence
in the election that is coming two
years from now. They will all be
weighed in the balance and the short
weights will 'be charged up to John
Burke and to the democratic party,
and not to you personally. If you are
going to help build up the democratic
organization now you must be as good
a democrat today as you ever were in
your life. The way to play success
ful politics is to have some strength
of character of our own and decline to
place any unnecessary burdens upon
the shoulders of John Burke and the
