| ~ Early-Day Tribune Publisher's Picture Placed in State's Hall of Fame Grand Forks, Jan. 13.—The! portrait of M. H. Jewell, early-| day publisher of The Bismarck | Tribune, today looks down from | the walls of North Dakota newspaperdom’s hall of fame in the University of North Da- kota here. The photograph, enlarged from a picture selected by his wife for that purpose, is the sixth to be placed in the hall of fame. Each year a committee selects one man from the list of those who have served the state as active newspapermen, for this honor. The memorial address at the Hall of Fame ceremony of the North Dakota Press Associa- tion convention, which marked the unveiling of the picture, was given by Kenneth W. imons, present Tribune edi- tor. The text follows: No man can rise to a position of leadership in a community and give hhis heart and brain to its physical, intellectual and moral development for 30 years without making an im- pression upon the area which engages his interest. If his leadership carries with it con- trol of the city’s chief means for pub- lic expression those effects are bound to be apparent to the discriminating eye for years after he retires from the - scene. Thus it is easy for a resident of Bismarck to see all about him, if he will, the effects of the life work of Marshall H. Jewell, whose picture we unveil today in North Dakota’s hall of fame and in whose memory we are gathered here. 30 Years a Leader For Mr. Jewell was a leader in Bis- marck and the commonwealth of North Dakota for 30 years. He saw it grow from lusty infancy to mature manhood and throughout its growth, up to the time of his death in 1911, a newspaperman still in the harness, he was its defender and friend. Because he came to North Dakota's oldest newspaper shortly after it was founded, it is probable that many “firsts” could be credited to Mr. Jewell; firsts of the type which mean 80 much to members of the craft but of which the public takes only passing notice. His history shows, that with respect to one “first” he stands unchallenged. ‘That was expressed by his resent- ful attitude toward misrepresentation | Weather Report WEATHER FORECAST For Bismarck and vicinity: Snow tonight and Tuesday; colder Tuesday. | For.

MUNDAY, JAN UARY 13,1936. | M. H. Jewell Is Eulogized at N. D. State Press Convention and misunderstanding of North Da- | of his forbears, hung on at Bismarck, kota in the nation at large. In this respect he was North Dakota's first great publicist. An example illustrates the point. "throughout his life Mr. Jewell was a faithful member of the church of his choice. He gave it his personal rever- ence and his public support, but when even so prominent a man as the bishop of that church moved, inno- cently enough, to put the climate of North Dakota before the world in a bad light, Mr. Jewell did not hesi- tate to express disagreement. The Truth Triumphant This occasion, by the way, seems to have been the first in which the qual- ity of North Dakota’s weather was ever made a public issue. The reverend gentleman, who had come from the east to represent his church in the then pioneer state, in- duced wealthy friends to provide for him a chapel car that he might travel over the railroads and hold services in the various settlements and small prairie towns. Further explanation was made that the climate of North Dakota made it unsafe to travel over- land in the winter. Marshall Jewell rose to the defense of his adopted state. Mildly but firm- ly he asserted that his spiritual ad- viser was mistaken when it came to so mundane a thing as the weather; that North Dakota weather was no worse—and in fact was much better— than the weather of other states. The upshot was that he won his battle. Af- ter a time (the expense of operation may have had something to do with it, too) use of the car was abandoned. What a familiar ring Mr. Jewell’s contentions of that day have to con- temporary ears. All of us know the canards pertaining to North Dakota's blizzards and of how we have cam- paigned against them. In this fight we follow the valiant spirit of one of North Dakota’s. great publishers which still leads us on. Fighter for the Right Marshall H. Jewell, throughout his life, was @ fighter for the right. To him principle .meant .more than wealth. He lived an interesting life and died comparatively poor, honor- ing his gods, faithful to his fellow men and granting to all the rights which he insisted upon for himself. The deeds which cause us to place Marshall H. Jewell’s picture in this hall of fame were all accomplished during the period of his ownership and editorship of The Bismarck Tribune, but to understand his char- acter it is necessary for us to go back to his birth and the sturdy pioneer stock from which he cames Descendants of Bishop Joel Jewell, one-time Episcopal bishop of London, his forbears early came to New Eng- land and its inhospitable shores. From New Hampshire his parents moved westward and April 29, 1857 found them at Hector, N. Y., where Marshall H. Jewell was born. His father was a snewspaperman and printer, bringing the first printed page to many of the rural communities which he served. Young Marshall Jewell spent his early boyhood at Ovid and Penn Yan, N. Y¥., where his father ran country newspapers. The smell of printer's ink was always in his nostrils, He became adept at the trade for, while still a small lad, he learned to help his father in his business. But eternally the west called to the elder Jewell and shortly after the close of the Civil war the family journeyed overland to Michigan, tak- ing up a homestead in a virgin forest 25 miles from the nearest town. There, his schooling interrupted, young Mar- shall Jewell learned the value of hard work and acquired the viewpoint on life which was to mark his later ca- reer. Those were truly character- forming years. Print Shop Called Him In due time the elder Jewell felt the old nostalgia for the printing shop and went on to Chicago, where he ob- tained employment, and young Mar- shall Jewell perfected his knowledge of the printing trade on The Clipper, @ newspaper at Cedar Springs, Mich. His apprenticeship completed, he. too, went to Chicago where he worked for a fime on a newspaper and then attended Wheaton college at Wheat- on, Ill, for a year. Punds ran short and it was neces- sary to go to work, so Mr. Jewell ob- tained a job on the Chicago Daily find him as assistant telegraph editor of the Daily Telegram.

A little later we But that newspaper went the way of all flesh in 1878 and Mr. Jewell, with others, {found himself again looking for a job. At this point fate stepped into the picture and Mr. Jewell, together with Stanley Huntley, met Major Edwards, founder of what is now the Fargo The Fargoan was optimistic about North Dakota and its opportunities for a young man, particularly men Huntley. Despite tender years, each 2 | had experience as a political writer and the next campaign, Major Ed- wards informed them, would be a hot It was at his suggestion that they came to Bismarck in 1878, five years after The Tribune had been founded They worked in various capacities, on The Tribune and elsewhere, mak- ing friends and gaining such a status in the community that in 1883 they obtained sufficient financial backing to purchase The Tribune from its confident of the future of the city and of ‘the newspaper which already had .cost.him so much effort. Col. Lounsberry returned to the news- paper as edit.r after Huntley’s de- parture and Mr. Jewell continued as manager of the business office and job department. Three years later he took full charge of the business and continued as its head until his death in 1911, A Dally in 1881 . At his urging, Col. Lounsberry had made The Tribune a daily in 1881, thus his influence was felt even be- fore he took the reins of control. In 1882 Mr. Jewell was married to Kate T. Woods of Indianapolis, Ind., descendant of a’family whose name ts prominent in the annals of Cincinnati, Ohio, and had brought her as a bride to Bismarck. Mrs. Jewell now lives in Seattle, Wash., and bids me inform you that she is both proud and happy at this recognition of her husband by the members of the craft which he loved so well. Among her chief treas- ures are his make-up rule and the stick with which he set many columns of type for The Tribune, For Marshall H, Jewell loved to work with his hands as well as his head. He liked nothing better than to work up an honest sweat in the man- ual labor which goes into the making of a newspaper. The Newspaper Woman And in passing, with the example of Mrs. Jewell before us, we might well pay tribute to the newspaper women of North Dakota, the newspaper wives as well as those bright women and girls who assist us in presenting the news of tle day to a contemporary world. The pioneer newspaperwomen lived close to their communities. They, along with other women of their day, carried out the policy of the good neighbor. helped to ease the travail of birth and they shared the rejoicing at weddings. ‘They were an integral part of their communities and they met their re- sponsibilities bravely. ; Such @ woman was Mrs. Jewell; a worthy forerunner of those fine wom- en who carry on this tradition today, who are helpmeets to—and put up with—the modern newspaperman. As might have been expected in view of the circumstances which brought him to Dakota territory, Mr. Jewell early became active in politics He was secretary of the Republican territorial committee in the days be- fore statehood and in 1893 was elected secretary of the state committee, holding that position through several campaigns. Secretary to Hansbrough In 1896 he went to Washington as secretary to Senator Hansbrough and immediately launched into publication of the Washington Inventor, some- thing of a forerunner to the Popular Mechanics magazine-of today, but the response was not favorable and he soon resigned his secretarial position and returned to Bismarck. In 1993 he was appointed registrar ®@ position which he continued to hold, coincident with his activities as @ publisher, until his death, In the meantime, he had turned most of the editorial duties over to his assistants, most famous among them being James W. Foley, known to us all as North Dakota's favorite Poet. ‘ As was inevitable under the cir- cumstances, the controversies in which Mr. Jewell engaged were nu- was found on the side which his con- science dictated that he should take. Fought for New Depot There was, for example, a long and exasperating battle with the Northern Pacific railroad. It began with a fight over ownership of the townsite, claimed by both the railroad and homesteaders who had settled there. The railroad lost in a legel argu- ment, according to residents of Bis- marck, who still are living, and that is given as one reason its terminal yards were located at Mandan, across the Missouri river. Also, according to these same au- thorities, it made the railroad man- agement indifferent to the interests of Bismarck and for years the city had no depot worthy of the name, pas- sengers waiting -for trains in a little hotel room near by. One of the fac- tors in this equation was the desire of the hotel owner to keep the room rented to the railroad. Mr. Jewell’s campaign to move the hotel and construct a depot engen- dered some heat, but in the end he was successful. The hotel was moved ‘and the railroad erected upon its former site a suitable depot. Held His Friendships In a capital city such as Bismarck it was natural that Mr. Jewell should tles. But it-is significant of the man that he acceped victory without gloat- ing and smiled at defeat. When the Dakotas approached statehood Mr. Jewell contended for their admission as one state, but forces of a national nature controlled that situation and his ideas were re- ject Who is there, seeing the po- sil in which the Dakotas find themselves today, but would agree that tHe interests of the settlers would have been better served had his sug- gestion prevailed?

Of the twain Jewell became the business manager and Huntley the editor, turning the newspaper from a Republican to a Democratic newspaper overnight and thereby creating a furore in the com- munity. Huntley Goes East Huntley, .gocd-looking, debonair and a socialite, immediately capital- ized upon the prominence of his new position. Before the year was out ory, paint the picture of a man whu they say, was an ideal neighbor Quick to sympathy and warm-heart- ed, he still had the faculty of minding his own business. Human values al- ways outranked thoughts of money. This policy may not have been good business, but it made Marshall Jewell happy and even people with whom he had entertained disagreements were his friends. There was much of sat- isfaction in that. ° he had married the sister of an offi- x Held to Own Standard By the standards of today Marshall Jewell might not be classed as a good businessman.

A widow who had been left with children to support and who could not pay her subscription came into The Tribune office and asked to have it stopped, giving her explanation why. She had subscribed to the newspaper with its first issue. Mr. Jewell told her the paper would keep coming to her home and not to worry about the subscription price. She had supported the publication in better times and it would not desert her now. A Fine Family Man Few things bespeak the character of a man so much as his private life, | ing elected after winning the endorse- the relations between himself and |™ment of the Morton county Nonparti- other members of his family. Those who knew about this phase of Mr, Jewell’s life describe him as a| i 1922, born gentleman, kindly, courteous and considerate to all in the family cir- cle; a man who imbued his sons with the love of country which flamed in his own soul; a man who believed in America and was willing to sacrifice for it. These teachings came to fruition in 1918 when his son Paul, who already had been gassed in France, suffered @ shattered leg on the battle front. It is difficult to present an adequate picture of a man who has been dead for 25 years. The days of persona: journalism have passed and we have only the memories of many figures who loomed large in pioneer days. The Tradition of Service But they have handed down to us a tradition of service—yes and of self- sacrifice—which serves ag a beacon in this ‘commercial age. Their times have passed, but the newspapermen of North Dakota owe much to the men whose faces look down upon us from these walls. It was they who laid the foundations upon which our modern structures They are both encouragement ‘They were great newspapermen, but over and above that they were real men, patriotic citizens who served their communities and their nation in peace and in war. The newspapermen of North Dakota are honored today wth the privilege of placing in that galaxy the picture of Marshall H. Jewell. His picture ~ {belongs there. May his memory keep alight the torch of freedom, of in- tegrity and of downright simple hon- esty which were the guiding lights of both his public and private life. CONTINUED from page one tentiary.

Independent of Party ‘ Although usually listed as a Non- partisan since the advent of that po- litical organization, Martin always in- sisted that he was independent of 3, 1853, one of a family of eight chil- dren. Educational facilities were meager in those days and after getting all the schooling there was to be had in the neighborhood, Martin felt the call of the then undeveloped west.’ While still in his ‘teens he went to Texas and rode the range in the days when the Chisholm trail was an avenue of commerce which brought millions of Texas cattle to market. In 1878 he answered the urge to re- turn home and then occurred what he often described as the most import- ant event of his life. He fell in love as only a spirit of violent loves and hates can do, and was married to Martha Smith st Sheffield. To them were born eight children, of whom all but one are living. Prospected for Gold Mlinois, in the late seventies, was too tame for Bill, so he struck west- ward to the Colorado gold fields and worked there for a while as a miner, Prospector and teamster. ‘When the Black Hills gold rush came, Martin took his horses and trekked for the northwest and here he remained until his death. “Bismarck then was the western terminus for the northern route to the Black Hills and freight and stage coach lines operated over the route jestablished by gold seekers. Martin Joined with one of the freight lines. It was a precarious business. In- dians in the territory to be traversed were none too friendly and a number party or factional alliances, although he admitted that in most cases his sympathies were with the Nonparti- san cause. Frequently, however, he deserted the Nonpartisan ranks to vote with their political opponents in cases where he did not agree with the Nonpartisan attitude. Family records show that Bill Mar- tin was born in Sheffield, Ill, March of teamsters lost their lives. Martin aged in several skirmishes with the resentful redskins but was never wounded, Fate was kind to him and the Black Hills gold miners paid liberally for services. Martin made money and accumulated horses and wagons for a train of his own. Becomes Contractor Yi When the Black Hills rush was over, Martin looked for new employ- ment. The Great Northern and Northern Pacific railroad lines then were being built and he became a rail- road contractor. He had 30 or 40 teams of his own and often hired ad- ditional equipment to meet his con- Bismarck who still honor his mem- | tracts. The railroads pushed still further westward and Martin did not care to follow. The contracting business was too confining, anyway. 8o he estab- Ushed himself as a horse trader on a large scale. . Settlers coming westward onto the plains of Canada needed horses and Martin undertook to supply the need. He would purchase horses in the west- ern states and drive them into Can- ada, With five or six riders to assist in handling the band, he would drive northward, sell his horses and return for another trip. In one year he sold 1,300 horses in this manner and some- times the bands numbered 400 head. Indians were no longer trouble- The Tribune never treated with whatever crude remedies were available. A keenly whetted jJacknife was the common instru- ment for minor surgery. Begins Ranching The horse business offered too many troubles ahd in the early '00’s Martin settled on the Riverside ranch south of Mandan in Morton county, running 600 head of cattle. Since his days in Texas Martin had retained a desire to be a cattleman and at last he was satisfied. Shortly after 1900 he established the ranch at Huff which he retained until his death, although, in his later years, its management was delegated to other members of his family. He never. became a farmer. He was a cattleman at heart and a cattleman he remained. Other branches of ag- riculture held no lure for him. oO After settling at Huff, Martin be- gan to take an interest in politics and in 1906 was elected to the state house of representatives. He was reelected in 1908, 1910 and 1912 and in 1914 was elected to the state senate.

A Good Deal Like Cox To anyone who has met both men, Col. Knox is a Republican replica of James M. Cox, Democratic nominee in 1920. Cox, when active as the head of his newspaper chain, was a publisher like Knox, brilliant and aggressive. Each was ambitious and each rose to the top in the newspaper business by the same aggressive methods. Each dis- played, as a newspaper publisher, a in Cox had a flair for reaching practical political understandings which Knox seems to be emulating. But Cox ap- pealed to the intellect rather than to the emotions. Knox has the same handicap. The two men even look alike. par- ticularly around the eyes, in the shape of their chins and the way they snap shut their,mouths. Read Speech From Script One of the reasons the crowd failed to enthuse may have been the fact that Knox read most of his speech from script. Occasionally he departed from his manuscript but these digres- sions were brief. It was as though he did not trust himself to speak extem- Poraneously. Candidates have to be careful not to say anything which is not well considered. Some politicians were displeased, too, because they felt that Knox’s ad- jdress offered little comfort to the farmer. From their experience they could not see the agriculturalist warm- ing up to the Knox pronouncements any better than the Grand / Forks in! thing constructive and felt that he did be interpreted by the voice of one Grand Forks woman who has long taken am interest in public affairs.

The same thing may have been true of the crowd as a whole. That attitude may have been re- sponsible for the lack of warmth. But the fact remains that some politicians who had been referring to Knox during the day as “the candi- date” were using the same term after the speech but with a different in- flection. Before the talk it was hopeful. After Knox’s address the changed inflection seemed to convey the impression that he was “the candidate” and nothing ae, that his political promise ended ere, Former Local Man Is Named Hotel Manager C.
