Some Of the newspaper fellows nomi.
nate Walt. Taylor, Of the LaMoure Chro-
nicle, as candidate for the office OF
commissioner of agriculture and labor.
Taylor is good fellow and would fill
the position with credit, but in some old
book that we read some years ago, there
was something said about the difficulty
that rich man has of going through
things (though most of the rich men we
know got their riches in that way) and il
a rich man can scarcely get to the king
dom, how can a newspaper man-who
must and does say thIngs-,and. has no
cash-expect to succeed? %

The innate nastiness which has been
ventilated by the evidence.in the Smoot
case at Washington makes one. wonder
at the credulity of the human nature. If
there ever was fraud more selt-evident
than that of Joseph Smith we have never
heard of it. One can understand the de-
votion of the heather to their dumb idols
because they never knew of anything diff
ferent. But how intelligent people, like
many of the Mormons really are, can be-
lieve in faith like that propounded by
Joe Smith, as they actually seem to do,
is a problem of mentality yet to be ex-
planned. AS prophet" Joe couldn't

Sues the County.

The city OF Tower has begun suit
against the county for $I,0l5.80 ex-
penses incurred in caring for contag-
ious diseases. Several acts have been
passed regarding the payment OF bills
contracted In the care Of contagious
diseases and in one instance some
time ago where the county was sued
the court disallowed the claim on the
ground that the county was not liable.
A later act provided that the county
was liable to the amount Of half the
expenses incurred, and under this
act the village of Fall Lake recovered
about one-third OF the amount OF its
bill by bringing the matter into the
courts. In no case under all existing
acts is the county liable for the eX-
pense incurred in caring for persons
afflicted with contagious diseases ex-
cept where such persons are legal re-
sidents of the village or town at the
time they were taken sick. 1t is ar
gued that the board Of county COM
missioners has no supervision over the
expense incurred in cases where vii
lagos or towns care for contagious
cases or pest houses and therefore the
body is unable to know whether the
claims are just.
