LIFTING THE LID IN RENSSELAER

(Continued From First Page.)

made, had hurt, he was determined that open and flagrant violations of the law should not be permitted and the marshal’s head would come off at once if he winked at them. There was nothing personal in getting after the gamblers, the bottleggers, et cetera, but there must be a stop to such law violations. Marshal Mustard said that .he had tried to be a faithful officer and do his duty as he saw it without fear or favor. He, too, thought there was- more criticism of law enforcement than commendation, but other speakers, including Mr. Brady, made it plain that while the law violators hit had made more noise than the masses who were law abiding, the latter, while endorsing ahd •upholding the Mayor and offibers in doing their duty had not gone to them and slapped them on the back and told them so. The law abiding people were always in the majority, but they did not make so much noise as the other fellow. » Mr. Hamilton jnade a very nice talk, and among other things expressed a truth that we should all remember, and that id if gambling, drunkeness, immorality, etc., existed or was long allowed to exist in any town or city it was because the people themselves wanted it; that what was permitted represented the moral status of the people comprising the town or city. To have a clean, ' moral city we must have a clean, moral sentiment to back up the officers in their work. Mr. Bruner made a few remarks about, the laying down of the prosecuting attorney and his deputy Mr. Davis, in the gambling investigation that had only just got started when the deputy must go home and see his principal about going any further, and when he (Bruner) called up the prosecutor by phone the prosecutor “would have . to see his deputy couldn’t act without “seeing the prosecutor” and the prosecutor couldn’t act without seeing his deputy—and there you are. Nothing further was done. He said. They (the sports) call these!

“little social garhes, gentlemen’s games, in which no one can lose, nor win scarcely anything,” and yet it had been shown in the ivestigation made that one man had lost S4O at one time, and others almost as much at other times. "Gentlemens” games indeed they were, but the “gentlemen players” took the coin just the same. Mr. Bruner thought a fund should be raised to employ legal assistance if necessary in the future, and to this end the treasurer of the permanent organisation was directed to circulate a subscription paper for that purpose. The permanent organization of a good citizens league was forified by electing L. H. Hamilton president; J. A. McFarland, vice-president; John I. secretary, and J. F. Bruner treasurer. Another open mpeting will be held the first Sunday afternoon in April.

MARSHALL AND KERN

To Preside at State Convention, to 1>« Temporary and Permanent .< Chairmen; Governor Marshall has been invited by the Democrat state committee to act as temporary chairman of the Democratic state convention, which will be held March 21. The invitation was decided on at a recent meeting of the state committee at the Denison hotel. The committee also decided to suggest to the committee on organization of the convention that Senator John W. Kern be chosen for permanent chairman. This suggestion meant that Mr. Kern will be chosen for the position, because these matters are always settled in advance, and the committee on organization reports accordingly to the convention. The" committee decided also on Samuel V. Perrott of Indianapolis for ser-geant-at-arms of the convention.! Mr. Perrott is actuary in the insurance department of the state auditor’s office. All other details of arrangements for the convention were referred to State Cairman Bernard Korbly.

Letter from North Dakota.

Albert Bouk, a iformer resident of Jasper county and trustee of Walker tp., writes The Democrat from his new home as follows: N. - 'D^'Mclf _ 6. Mr. F. E. Babcock, Rensselaer, Ind. Dear Sir: Herewith find money order for $2.25 for which please extend my subscription to The Democrat one year and send a copy 6 months to W. M. Brey, Surrey, N. D. Judging from the weather re-, ports in my Chicago dally I should say you have been experiencing a pietty fair sample or a real bad winter in North Dakota. However, we have had no such a winter here this winter, and here let ine say that North Dakota winters are not nearly so dreadful as is generally believed by those who have never been here. This is the closing of my fifth winter here and I can truthfully say that they have been so free of work and worry I am always sorry when they are "gone. Every day is Sunday here tn the winter. | The last two crop seasons have been very unsatisfactory to farmers here and while some had almost complete failures one or both years, { many who follow mixed Or diversified farming and some who did not but were in the most favored localities, have had very satisfactory results both years. As for myself I will say I am well pleased with i results of my farming each of the four years I have farmed here. We' are all learning by hard experience' that exclusive grain farming won’t 1 do, and we are also learning to dur I pleasure and profit that we can 1 raho just as good and better' horses, cows, hogs and poultry here 1 as we could in “God’s country,” as! you put it for Indiana. It is a 1 demonstrated fact that we can, raise corn amid alfalfa, and the farm in Ward Co., without a cornfield and, some alfalfa will be mighty hard to find this very summer-. You may think we live in the land of cheap farms, and I guess it is cheap, only in price which is from $25 to $5,0 per acre. Not I much has changed hands during the 1 last two years in this locality, but' what has sold at above figures. We have reason to look forward to the coming crop season as the' most promising for a number of years, and everybody is making ut-' most efforts to put out a big crop. I The ground is in fine shape, and with the usual amount of rain a 1 good crop is assured. Farm hands' are in good demahd at $35 per J month for the entire season of seven to eight months. A number of steady hands are wanted .right in my neighborhood. I have a neighbor who just recently shipped in a number of per-' cheron mares and stallions, some of them imported and all? full-bloods. I Several car loads of dairy cows are 1 being shipped in, mostly of the 1 Guernsey breed. Farmers are or-' ganizing in every township, and this' means co-operation, and that spells success. * Space is limited so I will close. A. L. BOUK.
