IT HAVE, HAVE YOU"

The badge system of raising money is
being carried out in this state. 1t was
started in Minneapolis and consists in the
sale of badges for one dollar each, the
proceeds to go to pay the fare of the re.
turning soldiers from San Francisco.
The badges bear motto II have, have
you?" or something similar and in Mime.
apolis seem to be very successful means
of raising money. Nearly all the cities in
this state have adopted the badge system
to bring home their respective com.
panies, and if we'll worked up all owe,
the state will probably raise the neces
sary amount.
There is one thing that we regret. Il
is comparatively easy for a large city like
Fargo with eight or ten thousand people
and thickly settled country about it te
raise money enough to bring home ;
company of seventy men from San Fran
cisco, than for towns like Valley City o.
Dickinson. 1t would look bad for the
Fargo boys to ride home free while othel
companies would have to pay.
We hope therefore that the contribu
tions may be generous enough that il
may include all the boys.

TO August 18th at the rate of $3.50 per
month. The warrant for August salary
amounting to S133O8. Governor Briggs
died August 9th and Mr.. Devine took the
oath as his successor on August 18th.
Thus, the warrants show that the state
paid for two governors from August 1st
to August 18th inclusive. They also
show that one of these governors also
drew ss3.33 for the full month of August
for salary as lieutenant governor, in adj
dition to his salary as governor.
Mr.. Devine says in his explanation,
above quoted, that he drew 1888 'tfor his
services in August" which seems to be
an explicit acknowledgement that the
charge that he drew two salaries for
August IS true.
Mr.. Devine farther explains that he
was "acting governor" for month dur
ing April and May and for which there
was "a balance coming to him" of s167
as he was entitled to the governors
salary-which makes us. wonder why
only S167 in April and May but at the
rate of $3.50 in August.
But MIR. Devine says, the matter Of
s167 balance coming" for the April and
May governorship he expected to adjust
with Governor Briggs. That is, he ac-
knowledges he had no claim on the state
for the ''balance coming to him. for the
April-May work, and therefore by the
same rule had no claim on the state for
the governors salary from August 1st to
August 18th, but should have "adjusted''
the same with Mrs. Briggs.
The facts remain, that no matter what
services Mr.. Devine performed, that he
and Governor Briggs were both paid
salaries as governors OF this state at coin.
cident periods, and that Mr.. Devine drew
two salaries at the same time as two dis.
tinct state officers.

A PERSONAL INTEREST.


One of the peculiarities of the badge
sale is that some men, who have and
who hold government, state or county
offices with good salaries, have no dollar
to spare as an expression Of good will to
the soldiers returning from the Philip
pines.
During the war of the rebellion mil
lions of dollars were freely given to the
Christian and Sanitary commissions, the
object of whose organization was to help
the soldiers. Every city, town and ham.
let had its band of devoted women who
worked and raised money for these or.
CARNATIONS. And yet, we know of men
who wore the blue at that time, who
think that the soldiers of the Army ol
the Philippines are not deserving of a
dollar contribution.
We know of many others, who secure
and happy in comforts of home, have
been peacefully engaged in prosperous
times amassing wealth, while this army
of volunteers have been risking life and
health in front of the rifles of foes to this
government, amid the swamps and rice
fields of Manila those whose oppor-
tunities for making money are only made
possible by these self sacrificing soldiers
have no dollar to spare as an express
sion of patriotic gratitude.
flow these people are simply mistaken.
Most of them are really, at heart, pa
triotic citizens. The trouble is that they
don't realize that this war and its out
come really means anything to them per-
sonally- or purse -onally. They don't
feel as they should how much interest
they individually have in this government
of ours. To them ''the government" is
a sort of ideality, far-of, abstract, in
definite something. But every man in
this country is concrete part of this
government. Every man who by any
act does anything to support and per-
petuate this government is thereby en-
titled to the thanks, gratitude and sup
port of every other man who is part of
the government or who participates in
its benefits.
The dollar given for badge is not a
charity, it is debt and is.a small part Of
what you individually owe. Dollars, any
number of them, cannot wholly pay that
kind Of debt either.

One of the queer things is the manner
in which evidence is apparently given in
the Dreyfus trial. The witnesses seem to
make long speeches, to make arguments.
and to express their personal belief as to
the guilt or innocence of the accused.
Then they have way of Confronting"
witnesses with each other, which seems
to be an opportunity given foe each to
call the other liar. Then witnesses
seem to come in without any particular
precedence as to whether for the defense
or prosecution, and the presiding judge
acts as prosecuting attorney. Certainly
''they do things different in France"

GRAFToNs ADDRESS

fSAF'ION'S ADDRESS.
To the citizens of Walsh, Pemb,na,
Cavalier and Grand Forks counties.
Greeting: North Dakota's gallant
first infantry is nearing the Golden Gates
on its homeward journey, after year OF
the hardest campaigning in the Philip.
pines.
The City Of Grafton has undertaken
the work of giving the boys of Company
c fitting reception on their return to
their homes, and she desires to invite
every citizen of the Northwestern part of
the state to participate in this reception,
the date Of which will be announced
later.
The following committee has been ap-
pointed to take charge of the arrange
ments. Senator ]. L. Cashel, chairman;
B. A. Provost, secretary; State Treas
urer D. w. DriscolI, treasurer; Mayor
Fl. G. Sprague; E. N. Sgiggum; d. C..
Moore; Jos. Deschenes; w. c. Leiste-
kow and Mrs. Jennie Ball.
This committee proposes to collect
funds sufficient to give proper recep-
ton on the company's return, create a
fund Tor the relief of the sick and dis
abled, erect a suitable monument to the
heroic dead, and finally to pay the trans
portation of Co. c., and as many others
as possible, from San Francisco to their
homes.
The committee has raised in the city
of Grafton by private subscription and
sale of badges, three thousand dollars.
1t hopes to raise as much more. The
money raised outside of Grafton is to be
used for transportation Of troops. Bad
ges are being sent to every town in your
county. The badge for adults is 81, for
children % cents. Buy a badge and
give our boys free ride home.
Let everyone buy badge and wear it,
urge your neighbor to buy one and wear
it. and in this way each can contribute
his mite to as worthy cause as ever ex-
isted. w. c. LE1srEKow,

SPECIAL SESSION.

There is an effort being made to call
the legislature together in special session
to vote money to pay for the return of
the soldiers. There are several reasons
why this may not be good thing.
While each member is asked to donate
his services yet it will cost large amount
in the aggregate for such session. 1t
would pay the members better indlviG-
ually to donate the sum they would neces-
sarily spend and stay at home and save
their time. 1t is not altogether certain
that the money could necessarily be
voted if they came together, but more
than all, it might be good deal easier to
call the session than to adjourn it.

DEv1NH DENIES.
Fargo Arg


Lieutenant Governor Devine denies
that he has drawn money from the state
to which he was not entitled, and courts
an investigation. The specific charge
has been made that he drew salaries as
part of the month of August, 1893.
months prior to Governor Briggs death,
was able to devote but little time to the
duties OF his Office. In fact, he was out
of the state most of the time travelling for
his health. When the war broke out and
the North Dakota troops were called out
Mr.. Briggs was in California, and while
Governor Devine prior to this time had
duties of the governors Office, although
section 72, article 8, of the state constitu-
ton prescribes that the lieutenant-gover-
nor shall act as governor during the alb
sence of the latter from the state, he felt
at that time that the condition of affairs
warranted him in taking action. He ac-
cordingly assumed the duties of governor
and acted as such during portion of the
months of April ami May, 1893, about a
month in all.
Notwithstanding the fact that he filled
the governors office, he drew for this
time his salary as lieutenant governor
only-$83. .33 a month. This was mat
ter which Mr.. Devine expected to adjust
with Governor Briggs when the latter re-
turned, but the untimely death of the
governor a few months later prevented
this. Mr.. Devine felt that, as he had fill
ed the office he should be entitled to the
salary, which was $3.50, and that he had
! balance coming Of e167 coming for his
services in April and May. When Gov
ernor Briggs died August 9th, Mr.. De-
vine at once became the governor, and
as such entitled to the salary. He drew
for his services i'll August s333, which is
about $50 less than the amount to which
he would have been entitled had he been
allowed his salary as acting governor in
the spring. That is all their is to the
charges that he drew two salaries during
August. 5ssas s: s.3 - ~. .,ses t>ss = tss. &
Two things are or ought to be certain.
No two men can draw salaries as gov
ernor of the state for the same period Of
time. And no one man can draw the
salaries Of two distinct state offices for
the same period of time, and Mr.. Devine
seems to be in dilemma between these
two propositions by his own explana-
tions.
The records in the state auditors office
show that Mr.. Devine drewas governor
Z $3.50 for all Of the month Of August, per
warrant No. 3O, ,342.
They also show that he drew as lieu
tenant governor for August, es3. 50 (Which
is full salary for the month, per warrant
