Mrs. Della G. Hyde OF Fargo, one OF
the most prominent members Of the
w. G. T. u, in the state, makes a
very plain and much to the point re-
ply to the scurrilous attack made upon
the w. g. T. U. and Its motives by the
Valley City Record. In her letter pub
lished in the Argus, Mrs. Hyde ans
wcrs all criticisms advanced by the
supporters Of Halland and does it
in a convincing manner. She further
says:
''The republican party has certainly
overstepped it's prerogative in expect
ing or asking the w. g. T. U. or wo-
men voters of this state to support
their candidate in whose election We
have a voice. It is known fact
that the moral and political status Of
state is determined by the kind Of
men that are placed in public Office,
and we hope that the righteous indig-
nation that is felt will be strongly
expressed at the ballot box this COM
ing election and the honor Of our fair

bonds issued prior to 1895. yet the
two republican legislatures authoriz-
ed the issuance Of $4,000 Of illegal
warrants by the state auditor and
state treasurer at each session to be
paid out Of the revenue as collected.
It was with the money derived from
the sale of these warrants that the
legislative and deficiency bills were
paid. The issue authorized by the
legislature Of 1895 has been paid, but
as it left the legislature in no better
condition than before they were re-
issued by the last legislature in 1897.
Eighty thousand dollars Of these was
to defray legislative expenses, and
were placed by the treasurer in the
banks of the state with which he kept
a good balance of uninvested school
money. The banks were thus enabled
to loan back to the state by the pur-
chase of these warrants. which were

POPULAR GUS LIfBtR
As State Auditor, Gas Will Always be Found

The Office of state auditor requires
an accountant and a business man Of

Gus A. Lieber, the next auditor for
the state of North Dakota. is one Of
the most popular men in the state.
Gus is good hearted. He makes many
friends and always holds them. In
addition to that he is one of the solid
citizens Of the state, an, one of the
most influential.
Mr.. Lieber came from Wisconsin to
Stutsman county in 1881, seventeen
years ago. For two years he was en-

What do the people of this state

What do the people of this state
think of this sort Of financiering? It
is the sort administered by our last
two republican legislatures. They
override the constitution of the state
with impunity; issue warrants bear
ing s per cent interest; sci them at
discounts, largely to banks having
large depo is Of state funds which
are withheld from Investment for
their accommodation, and which even
then requires the personal indorse-
ment of responsible though interested
parties to negotiate.
The general fund from which the
expenses Of the state in general are
paid is constantly drained Of it's money
as fast as it comes in. The state
treasurer estimates the probable rev.
enue to this fund from tax collections
and all other sources from now until
January i, at from 100000 to $751;
600, from which he must pay the $780,.
600 Of outstanding funding warrants;
thus leaving from $2O,OOO to $4,000
to apply upon existing bills and those
to accumulate to January next.
There were in the state auditors Of
flee awaiting payment vouchers to the
amount of $4,000, the greaterpart due
to the various public institutions, none
of which have been paid later than
July 1. This was the condition found
to exist in the latter part of September
when the Investigation above referred
to was mace.

Let us continue this to the LIST
Of January next" this gentleman re-
marks, "and see where they will be
at. The expenses Of the state, &C
cording to the treasurer's report Just
out, from the general fund, were for
the two years ending July LIST, last,
$1,O0S, 72O.51. Deduct from this the

The more the last assessment Of the

The board did the right thing IN

the question naturally suggests itself
as this same board has assessed the

LOADED" Dairy Products.

The farmers of Vermont In common
with the dairymen of other States have
been obliged to contend with great va
riety OF counterfeit dairy products, and
marked loss to the producers of butter
has resulted from the sale of spurious prod
ucts. Legislation has been freely resort
ed to for tho purpose of preventing the
sale of imitation butter for the genuine
article. but as fast as the evil is remeded
in one direction it breaks out in another.
The latest swinde of this character has
been discovered in San Francisco as a re-
suit OF the Investigations of the board of
health of that city, and 1t involves the
loading" of genuine butter SO as to
double its weight. 1t is explained that in
the manufacture of this spurious product
a pound of butter is put into vessel
with a pound of milk, and after the addi-
ton of pepsin and various other ingredi-
ents. the combination is churned. After
this process has been continued for time
the milk and chemicals disappear, leaving
two pounds OF apparently genuine butter.
This loaded" product is said to taste
like real butter and any one can easily be
deceived by it until 1t is pressed with a
knife or other article upon a solid SUI
stance, when water oozes from it in large
drops ard it visibly decreases in bulk. The
compound will retain its increased weight
for a considerable length of time but af-
ter exposure to the atmosphere for time
it is said the outer edges dry and crum-
bic like cheese.
1t Is evident that eternal vigilance is the
price of pure dairy products as well as
liberty and even such vigilance will prob
that certain portion of the public is
willing TO be deceived into the use of
spurious butter owing to its cheapness.
