A NEW NAME FOR 1T.

1T is amusing to note the parrot
like echoes that are being sounded
by some prominent "Liberalsv to
the theory advanced by the finance
committee Of the City Council re-
garding the recent steal in the rec
corder's department. Nothing
criminal about il a. all. Merely
''careiessness." The official in
whose accounts the defalcation oc-
CURED was merely trifie slacs. and
unmethodical and hence took, in a
kind Of slouchy way, as It were, for
his own use, sl75I. or at the rate Of
S220 . month during his incum.
bency. That Is the theory advanced
by leading Liberals" Yet they
say at the same time, ..there should
be n public investigation and the
guilty person be known" Guilty
Of what? Are you not stating that
nobody is guilty aud that the man
who took that money is honest?
What do you want an Investigation
for, when you have judged the
matter already on star chamber.
whitewashing, alleged examination
and report?
Let 1t be remembered hereafter
that when q "Liberal" official takes
the public money for his personal
use it Is merely An act OF "careless.
ness." Well, now, this is immense.
Then, suppose the person who got
away with that sl75l did take it in
y fit Of d5straction, why Is the ab.
stractionist not named? The public
treasury was plundered by q person
guilty Of ''gross carelessness." This

pointed out the fact that only two

So far this season the auditor of La
Moure county has paid bounties on 1900
gopher tails, which at three cents per tail
represents b neat sun of $40.
Colonel Thompson OF Bismarck lost a
valuable stallion some time ago. and after
a weeks search found the animal i'm.
prisoned in an old well II feet deep.
When rescued the animal was found to be
uniniured. but was suffering terribly from
hunger and thirst.
According TO the Napoleon Homestead
gopher hunting could be made a very
profitable business in North Dakota. In
some counties bounties are paid on tails,
in others on ears, and in some Of the
''way back" counties nothing less han
legs will be taken as evidence of the sure
death of the little pests. Thus in Logan
county tails bring 3 cents, while in McIn-
tosh ears are quoted at 2 cents, Dickey

ing an aggregate of 8 cents in bounties
for one gopher. There is no necessity for

price within the limits of congressional
grants al s1.5o per acre, and no exception
