ass. OWING to lack of space last week,
the editor did not give the usual no.
.ticet that another milestone in the
life of the Record had been passed.
With the previous issue the pioneer
paper of :Enmons county entered it's
seventeenth year. The Record is get
ting to be quite elderly, as majority
of the newspapers of North Dakota
have been established since this pa
per was launched. And the Record is
also one of the few papers of venerable
age that has been continuously con-
Quoted by.its founder. There are Two
policies open to newspaper editor.
One is to say nothing, no matter how
great the evil, local or otherwise, may
be, but to stand inwith everybody
who is willing to be stood in with.
The other course is to advocate openly
and abDyeboard what the editor con-
siders for the best interests Of the
people of the county and state in
which he makes his living. The resi-
dents Of Emmons county can say
whether or not the Record has pur-
sue I the latter course. As to the fu-
ture, we promise that there shall be
no change in policy. The man in
private life is not proper subject
for newspaper criticism as to acts
which are OF a private nature; but the
politician or otfics-holder, as well as
the man who becomes a candidate for
Office, cannot reasonably complain
when his public doings. are criticized,
provided that the columns Of his critic
are, always open for reply; and an
editor should be the first to give an
officer credit when he does his duty
without fear or favor. In pursuance
of this policy the editor Of the Record
has made some enemies, political and
otherwise, and he expects to make
others in the future. He neither
fears nor respects the political crooks
who, having held office and having been
proved unworthy of the trust, are full
of revengeful feelings, and manifest
their venom through misrepresenta-
tion and abuse of faithful officers who
have performed their duties honestly
and have shown partiality to no one.
The editor will continue his endeavors
to make the Record afaithful mirror
Of county happenings. He is thankful
for the support that has been.giyen to

THE RAMNPO SCANDAL.
AMENDMENTS TO MORGAN BILL-GOV-
ERNoR DEFINES HIS VIEWS.

Albany, March "a (SpeciaD.-Ciovernor Roose-
welt said to-day that he had received letter
from the officers of the Merchants Association
of New-York stating that they would bring to
Albany Monday amendments to Assembly
man Morgan's bin in relation to the Ramapo
Water Company These amendments, 1t was
added, would define the watersheds necessary
for New-Yorks when that city attempts TO
provide for itself larger supply of water.
Governor Roosevelt, in a letter which he made
public to-day frankly expresses his hope that
Mr.. Morgan's bill will be passed by the Legis-
iature and also that Speaker Nixon's act or
1895, comforting upon the Ramapo Water Com
pany its enormous rights be repealed. The Gov
ernor's letter written in response TO that of
Edward NJ. Grout President of the Borough of
Brooklyn. extracts of which printed in to-
days Tribune The Governors letter is given
below:
Albany. March 23. 1900.
The Hon Edward NJ. Grout President Borough
of Brooklyn. New-York.
Dear Sir: l very much interested in your
letter. i favor the passage both of the Morgan
bin and of the repeal of the Ramapo act of 1895.
Sincerely yours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT
1t is doubtful however, IL anything will be
done by the Legislature either with the Morgan
bill OF the bin of Assemblyman Demarest
pealng the Nixon act of 1890 since the Assem-
bly, has already displayed hostility to both meas
ures Moreover, even if the Morgan act is
amended so as TO define the watersheds desired
by New-York, it is doubtful if certain State
Senators would support the bill These Senators
represent Western New-York districts, but they
seem pasSionatey opposed to the passage Of
any bill giving 10 the city the right to condemn
water rights in the valley of the Hudson River.
Neither they their constituents would be
affected injuriousIy by the Morgan bill becoming
q law There are, therefore, good grounds for
the belief that they adopt this hostility TO the
Morgan act solely because the flatt "organiza-
ton is opposed TO the measure.

The stock of the Pennsylvania Railroad and also

any further cutting and will also greatly
increase earnings by closer traffic connections and
harmonious operations. The Tribune yesterday
pointed out that thorough understanding existed
between the Pennsylvania and the New-York
Central, and that the strong interests in these two
powerful corporations were allied to put end to
rate cutting in the East and to split UP that
ritory fairly between the various roads. 1t was

Chesapeake and Ohio had been brought under the
influence OF the Pennsylvania and how that great

influence may be reckoned the Delaware, Lacka-

1oed by Morgan interests. and practically all the
other roads operating in the field allotted
TO the New-York Central under the agreement be-
tween that company and the Pennsylvania.
All the plans for bringing all the Eastern roads

poyed 'spotters' to watch the various places One
half of the thirty-six saoonkeepers have for many
years made enough money on Sunday to pay them
for keeping open during the week. The law will
drive many of them out of business. They say 1t
is impossible to remain in business without Sun
day trade.
