Two Democratic Governors OF great

the public for their fearless disregard

their manly and independent care for

that politicians call partisan interests.
These two men are Governor Werts Of

Suppose

Suppose a Republican Legislature
should be chosen within the next two
years.
Suppose it should proceed to pass
partisan bills, robbing Governor
Werts of all appointing power and
vesting it in the Joint Session, as
other Republican Legislatures have
done in the past.
What would we Democrats call
that?

What would you call it, Mr. Robert

THE same capitalists who have pur-
chased control of the Jersey City and
Bergen Railroad have also gobbled up
all the Newark horse and electric
lines. They are further buying up
numerous other suburban roads rum
ming to Paterson, Rutherford and
other places. There is a vast scheme
of rapid transit for Northern New
Jersey in the air, and, the more one
sees of it, the bigger it looks.
If half that is talked of, be realized,
Jersey City g. Co. will be able to look
down on New York as a suburb inside
a decade.

AN effort is being made to misrepre-

refusing to sign the pay warrants OF

and to belitule its force. 1t is alleged
that it overs only three cases. This
is a deliberate falsehood. 1t COM

down by the Mayor. 1t practically

Smut has spread so rapidly over
the wheat fields of the state that over
half of this years crop is damaged
by it, and deprecated in value from
to 8 cents a bushel. AS smut in
tested seed will produce smutty
wheat, pure seed IS necessary. The
board Of railroad commissioners an
nounce that they have partially com
pleted very favorable arrangements
with the railroad and elevator COM
panies for assistance in securing pure
seed. the railroad companies giving
at least half rate, and possibly bet
ter. Definite arrangements will be
announced later. Those having
smut in their wheat should arrange
to take advantage of this seed, as a
change of seed is said to be favor
able to good yield and good grain
aside from the advantage of having a
pure and clean seed.

The editor of the temperance column
administers kick on the COURIER in
her column this week just because v~
happened to put the temperance column
on the back page last week, and that
said column ''kind of hung on the rag
ged edge Of uncertainty and few prsh->
ably found it," This is somewhat un>
kind, considering the fact that the
COURIER has devoted from one to TIVE.
columns weekly for this purpose and
has inconvenienced itself more than
once to make room for this column on
its frent page. There is such y thing
as riding free horse to death. and We
take exceptions to the kick. Last week
court occupied most Of our space and
the column was unavoidablY placed on
another page. Now this is our idea Of
the temperance column. If the column.
contains matter of local impe, tance.
those people who are in the habit or
reading it every week will lock for il
and find it whether it be on the back
page or the first We reserve the right
to run the COURIER and make it sp'>
as we think best, and while the w. c..
T. U. is always welcome to space,
when We have it to give, and it is very
rarely that We have to leave it out or
cut it down, we aro not running the
paper for the benefit Of that erganizas
ton alone.

The Fargo Forum has just cele
brated its third birthday, and shows
its rapid growth by double page ad.
Major Edwards was told when he
started the Forum that it would not
pay. The falsity of this statement is
shown by the we'll filled columns of
the Forum with advertising matter
and its large subscription list. That
the Major has made a success of his
journalistic venture is plain to be
seen. The COURIER congratulates
the Major on his success and hopes
he will continue on the high, road to
prosperity.

"The mills Of the gods grind slow
ly, but they grind exceeding small"
and such appeared to be the case in
the mill OF justice in our distric,
court last week. To a person up a
tree and one unaccustomed to law
and the melting out OF justice, it
seems hardly the proper thing for
judge to sit on the bench and argue
a case and then instruct a jury to
bring in verdict OF not guilty after
the case was submitted and the testi-
mony all III and which testimony was
in the opinion Of majority of the
people who attended court sufficient
to warrant conviction. A convic-
ton was secured in one case on no
more evidence than was introduced
in the case We speak of, and we will
guarantee that had the jury be al
lowed to retire it would have brought
IN verdict of guilty. We do not
presume to say that We know it all,
but that is our opinion at all events.
Then again, according to the courts
ruling, a practicing physician can
give verbal instructions to his clerk
to let any number OF persons have
alcoholic stimulants-or whisky, and
as many as he chooses. SO that all
physician has to do is to sit on bar
rel in his drug store and all l have
got to do IS TO go in and say: Hello
Doc! the smell of printing ink, ETC.,
makes me feel bad and l have spells
of depression, or my business is
dirty, give me bracer. All the M.
d., has got to do is to say TO his
clerk give this gentleman pint for
medical purposes, and if am not in
when he comes again repeat the
order. Ye gods, physician with
drug store under such ruling would
have gold mine, and could keep on
dealing out liquor the year around.
Notwithstanding the fact that the de-
fendant's attorney succeeded in Sc
curing from the witnesses evasive
answers, the evidence to majority
of people was plain and clear. The
evasion in an answer often means
more than the answer itself. Now
don't this whole business look like
farce. Well, we should say yes, and
yet the people of this district have
got to grin and bear it. How do
you like the prospect of paying taxes
for these periodical farces called
terms of court, farmers? The above
are our own convictions in the mat
ter and if anybody gets hot over
them, they will have six months to
cool off in>

Knud Thompson says he has offers
from two different parties to rent the

give expression to their ideas on re.

The fall term of court ended last
Friday night. The principle feature of
the term just adjourned was the trial of
the blind pig cases. In justice to
States Attorney Bartlett the COURIER
wants to commend his labor on behalf
of the state in these cases. He worked
hard and faithfully and secured one
conviction out of three, and If tho court
had not interfered we feel sure
that another conviction would have
been secured, but the judge did not see
it that way and ordered the jury to
bring in a verdict Of not guilty. Mr.
Bartlett did his duty in these cases and
did it we'll, and those eroakers who have
been kicking at Bartlett for not prose.
