BE MILD, BROTHER.

The Rock County Herald. Of Lu-
verne, last week published an article
relative to the recent declamato1y
contest which was clothed in harsh
and really ungentlemanly language
in many places and which could not
by the merest chance result in good
to anyone. All of the gentlemen who
were interested in the management
of the contest are presumably truth
full and upright men, we'll known to
the people of their respective towns
and as such are deserving of fair play
and honest handling at the hands of
the press. 1t is unfair and unjust to
treat them otherwise, but, however, it
is perfectly proper to. Investigate
and locate the blame or mistakes in
the matter. This can be done with
out personal abuse, and, therefore, we
shall ignore all personal mention of
the Herald's article and simply call
attention to essential points upon
which the paper was very evidently
misinformed; and would further say
that our only incentive in giving this
matter mention at all is that the peo-
pie, as we'll as the Herald, may know
the exact truth, and thus be able to
locate the hlame in proper place.
The Herald quoted but part of Prof.
Porter's letter. He wrote:
Had known of the judges earlier,
I should have protested against one of
them. = y \ But the contest occurred,
the decision was rendered and that
ends it,
And so it has, so far as the Judge is
concerned: The judges simply made
their markings; it was Mr.. Guthrie
who rendered the decision. We are
pleased to accept these markings.
What we object to is the way they
were interpreted. The Herald does
not quote Mr.. Porter's letter further;
but the next paragraph raised the
question that Carl Mays piece was
not according to the agreed condi-
tons, and served notice that Mr.. Por
ter was going to appeal. Far from
ending, this really began the investi-
CATION. Mr.. Porter did not then have
copy of the marks and did not know
how much they would help in gain
ing Mary Damon's rights.
Again, notice the false light the
Herald would throw on Mr.. Vaughn.
At the same. time that Mr.. Guthrie
received a copy of the letter of Dec.
9th, that is quoted in the Herald, he
received copy of Nh. Vaughn's let
ter of Dec. 18th. This reads:
II submitted the selection to the
secretary &C.. L. Sawyer, Prin. South
Side High School, M!nneapolis) before
the Luverne contest, and we both en-
phaticaliy ruled it out, and Luverne
was advised of the action. have
conversed with Mr.. Sawyer by tele-
phone and we have decided that the
delegate shall be ruled out"
Mr.. Vaughn nowhere assumes to
act on his individual judgment-he
always reflects the decision of the
State Executive Committee, and this
the Herald knew full we'll, we think,

The News-Dealer asks: What are
the friends of Judge Rice doing to Sc
cure his selection as one of the judges
of the new appellate court in the event
of the bill becoming a law?' That
question is easily answered. After the
bill has become a law-if it does-tha
friends of Judge Rice will begin to
think the time has come to get to work
in his interest. They will potter around
for a week or two, consulting among
each other as to the best methods of
attaining success. Some morning they
will wake up to find that the governor
has made the appointments. then they
will get mad and declare that Luzerne
always gets left, and in that declara-
ton they will be just about right. Lu-
zerne gets left" simply because the
politicians who are in command here

terizes political leaders in other coun-

WANTS THAT $4,000.
Architect Meyers. It Is Said, Makes DC
mand for tho Second Inst nlmcnt.

mand for the Second his nlmcnt.
Yesterday 1t was rumored that Archi-
tect Meyers had made formal demand
upon the county commissioners for the
second installment Of $4,000 under his
contract with them. AS has heretofore
been stated in these columns, County
Treasurer Reed declares he will not
honor the warrant Of the commission
ers for the payment of any money to
Meyers for his new court house plans,
unless ordered to do so by the court.
There is very little doubt in the mind of
any one that this second instalment
of $4,000 will have to be paid in the
end. The county Is unquestionably re-
sponsible for any obligations the COM
missioners may contract. The COM
missioners bound thmselves by con-
tract to pay to Meyers $4,000 in ad-
vance and $4,000 more when his COM
pleted plans for the court house were
passed over to the commissioner.
Meyers has compiled with the condi-
tions OF the contract, and the commits
sioners cannot escape. The treasurer
may compel Meyers to walt some time
for his money, but that is all.
Meyers Is beginning to realize that
there is trouble ahead, and that no
new court house will ever be built on
his famous secondhand plan. The best
he can do is to try to collect his sec
ond instalment of $4,000 and abandon
the field. In any event he will have
good thing of it. An architect does not
often have the opportunity of selling
set Of second hand plans for $40, 900.
He ought to be satisfied with the S10,-
900 he has already received,

by Mr.. Clare, who managed to extin-

the mill of Mr.. Silvius was fired, sat

placed against the building on the out
side. This fire was extinyuished by
a Jersey Central brakeman, who was

had been fired, but he succeeded in ex-

Mines Shut Down,

The Hanover Coal company's mines,
at Sugar Notch. have suspended in
definitely. One of the officials of the
company explains to local newspaper
that the coal trade has been so COM
pletely demoralized by the large, COM
panies that the individual operator has
only the alternative of mining and
selling his coal at loss or not mining
at all. Under these circumstances the
Hanover company has decided to shut
down and await q better condition of
affairs. Other individual operators and
smaller firms do not find the situation
quite so bad, but there is no denying
the fact that the mining industry Is in
bad enough shape for all concerned.
