TACT is an essential to success in

those occupations in which man deals
with TAI Every act of the teacher
should show he understands himself
and those with whom he labors. His
tact is shown in his management Of
his school, the class. and the indivi-
dual. The patrons and the board may
seem to have their own way, but in the
end he becomes master Of the situa-
ton. Tact is the executive officer Of
all the other faculties of the soul; It
regulates the will. Stubborness is

MAYOR WOODS thinks we greatly
wronged him in our report Of the last
council meeting. He states that we
misquoted his language and by our quo
tation gave a false impression. An in
terview with every person present at the
| discrepancy, viz: the word used by
Mayor Woods may have been devil III
! stead Of hell, which would not all alter
the meaning OF his expression. But he
explains that the remark was caused by
the statement OF DR.. M'Gillycuddy,
that the people would not forget such
action (the remarks OF Doctor M'Gllly-
cuddy we gave i'll the report with Mayor
Woods reply and that lie did not refer
to the people as a whole, but to certain
kickers for whose objections he did not
care. We have nothing but friendship
for James M. Woods and simply re-
ported the meeting in question as we III
tend to report all official meetings Of
interest to the people. Mr.. Woods
thinks we should have given his mean
ing instead of his words, and particular
ly objects to Jul quotation. 1.-THE peo-
pie be damned" We can justly return
the compliment and ask the mayor to
take our meaning rather thanour words.
To the average reader we believe our
meaning was plain. Here was a body Of
public officials with Mayor Woods as
their official head, they have advertised
for bids for a public work in compliance
with the laws OF the state. This body
OF representatives reject all bids and then
proceed in open defiance OF law to let
a contract on a verbal proposition where
the amount involved is $4,000 and
this in the face OF a cash bid OF S25, 800,
for the same work. The mayor presiding
over the body, when objections are made
to this mode OF business, replies Ito use
his own Interpretation OF Language and
meaning) - don'tcare what the devil
the kickers say" Now considering the
action OF the council and the remarks OF
the mayor we said. ,''This is a new YER
sion Of "The people be damned and
we here assert that it is u practical illus
trationo of the meaning OF the phrase.
We are not unmindful OF the necessities
Of the case. This addition to the water
system is needed at once.! The parties

Not Abandoned.

Mr.. E. P. Wells who has long been
interested in the construction Of the 500
road to Bismarck, has received letter
from President Thos. Lowry stating
that the Aberdeen and Bismarck grade
has not been abandoned. Mr.. Lowry
says:
"Thls road, as you are aware, is a part
Of the 500 system, and it is our intention
to complete it at as early a date as
possible.
We were in hopes to do much more
this fall than we have been able to
accomplish. With the increased earn
ings and better market for railroad
bonds, I think it very probable that We
can market sufficient amount of bonds
to complete the road next year.
I assure you that We have in no way
abandoned the road. Personally, feel
as anxious to complete it as anyone
along the line"

A Sound Position,

Dickey County Leader: Because the
Leader dares to advance an idea occas-
ionally that has not been first advanced
by the republican party it is accused in
quarters of being mugwumplsh. We
desire to say that the Leader is not
published solely in the interest of the
republican party. What politics there is
in it's columns is republican, not because
we expect any reward for our political
opinions, but because its editors believe
in the principles of that party and
cesire to see It's candidates
prevail. If there are ques-
tions of political economy which the
party has not yet seen fit to advocate, we
claim the right to publish our own views.
whether they are in accord with the
views of a majority of the party or not.
If We should at any time believe the
position taken by the party is unwise
or unjust, we shall treat the action with
such measure of criticism as we think
just and proper in the premises.
Whether such course makes the Leader
the "best republican" paper in the
county or not we shall not take into con-
sideration. We shall continue to support
the candidates of that party in our own
way, and look for our reward through
the legitimate channels Of the newspaper
business,

Tax Cases Decided.

Wednesday G. L. Bradley Of Fargo
acting for Ball & Watson, was before
Judge Rose in the old Northern Pacific
tax cases. These are cases brought by
the railroad company to stop sales Of
their lands for the taxes of 1857. Mr..
Conkliu appeared for Stutsman county,
Mr.. Winterer of Valley City, for Barnes,
and Mr.. Camp for Foster, Eddy, Wells
aud LaMoure counties. The Judge
made final DEGREES in all cases, involving
lands in the indemnity strip, that is, the
lands between the forty and fifty mile
limits. He held that the taxes on those
lands we're illegal and void. No decls-
Ion was rendered in the cases involving
lands in the original grant. The attor-
neys for the counties ask that decisions
in those cases be not rendered till the
United States supreme court decides the
questions involved. Judge Rose may,
however, not see fit to await that de-
clsion.

METHOD OF GRADING WHEAT
An Eddy County Paper Says
1t is a Species Of Highway
Robbery.
Rev. VIM. Cibb Takes a Hand
at Politics and Makes a
Speech.
An Unknown German Assault
ed and Robbed lat
Fargo.

New Rockford Transcript: One of the
greatest and most successful devices
ever invented by schemine men for dis.
honest purposes is the present method
of grading wheat now in vogue at the
elevators and by those places Of highway
robbery called Boards of Trade.
We often hear it said that it takes
two to make bargain, but in this
case it takes only one,
those who buy, leaving the seller moth
ing to say any more than if he had no
interest in the trade. Grading is plan
to get something for nothing, or more
properly speaking, for getting valuable
article for much less than 1t is worth. A
sample of wheat with few green
kernels in it or little shrunken that
will make just as good -four as if those
kernels we're absent, IS bought ny the
miller according to the grade and not at
all according to the value of the article.
The present system of grading grain
affects 80 large class of honest people
and so near approaches highway robbery
that it seems as if there ought to be a
remedy for it somewhere. There is a
law against theft, against burglary and
against swindling generally but this
device for cheating farmers has been so
cunnlngly devised that the existing laws
seem powerless to afford remedy. It
is one of the greatest conspiracies ever
organized IN this or any other country
for bad purpose-a trust to keep down
prices and to rob certain class Of honest
people of their hard earnings. 1t is
wrong and ought to be remedied.

republican friends that the easiest way,
was to vote the party ticket straight.
Mr.. Boynton, when called upon for

6 o'clock last evening, by two tough

his wealth IN their presence, and the
greed for gam was so strong that

and American labor, he also felt that
the republican position was correct.
Extensive travelling in his native coun-
try, Scotland, and throughout other
European countries, followed by visit
to many different parts of the United
States, had convinced him, he said. that
the working classes of America were far
more Independent, intelligent and pros
porous thao elsewhere on the globe, and
he thought the republican policy of
protection was entitled to much credit
for this condition. He wished to correct
the statement made by Mr.. Boynton,
however. that 1T IS miracle if a
European laborer owns his own home"
That is not true, he said, and he thought
the party need not resort to such statis-
tics to prove the superiority of the pro-
tective policy. Many homes IN Edin-
burgh, are owned by working men, but
it is due to frugality, temperance and
unceasing industry. Wages are un-
questionably lower than here, much
lower, especially in the line of skilled
labor. Here, too, he found less caste
and spirit Of fraternity pervading all
departments of labor. While there is
some discomfort, he did not believe free
trade would remedy the evil, and he was
sure strikes had been quite as numerous
in England as in the United States. Mr..
Gibbs speech was characteristic of the
man,-earnest, entertaining and convinc-

Promise Of Some Fine Stock From
Abroad.
Interest in the Jim River Valley
annual fair, the first of which is to be
held in jamestown Oct. 20, 81 and %
next, is becoming extended. Exhibitors
of stock and produce in several adjoii-
ing counties have signifed their
intention of being present provided
suitable facilities for shelter, ETC., are
offered by the fair management. Out
side OF the Jim valley there are
those who will take an interest in the
fair. and send exhibits or contribute
some attractive feature. Among these
are Mr.. J. B. Power, probably the largest
breeder of fine stock in the state. He
writes that he will send two car loads
of mixed thoroughbred stock, not for
competition for prizes, but for exhibit
purposes only, If certain transportation
facilities and care for stock while here,
are given.
The fair committees are at work and
progress IS reported IN several directions.
The committee on transportation is 60
ing to make an effort to get the North
ern Pacific interested in the fair, and to
give such rebates on transportation as
will induce outsiders to come here with
exhibits. Heretofore the road has given
free TRANSPORTATION to certain exhibits at
the state fairs, and an effort is to be
made to get the same for this district or
Jim River valley meeting. This is to be
a permanent fair and promises to grow
into large and prosperous organization
of great benefit to the farmers of this
part of the state. There is widespread
demand for an annual fall fair in North
Dakota.
