They Falsify, As Predicted

10 the Independent,
Minot, N. D.,
Gentlemen:
I notice in the Ward County Report
er, and in all papers controlled by my
opposition, an article which appeared
last week in all of them, headed, "TAA
PAYERS STATIONERY, in which 1
am accused of using the tax payers sta
tionery for the purpose of conducting
my present campaign.
l would request that you state to your
readers that the law provides no station
cry for District Judges in this State, and
that at no time have / received one let
ter head, or single envelope from the
County or State: since my appointment
to the bench. I may have while on the
bench used few sheets of paper when
making notes on certain cases that | was
trying, but at no time has any station
ery-that is, Office stationery, such as
letter heads and envelopes-been fur
nished me from any source, except such
as ordered personally and paid for.
am a little surprised that the Com
mittee on Literature of the opposition,
with two or three attorneys on it, should
have made such false assertions, ques-
tioning my honor with the public, with
out first investigating. | think this
falsehood should be brought to the at
tention of the public, for as predicted,
it seems that they intend to devote them
selves to false and slanderous assaults
upon myself, instead of carrying on this
campaign in a clean and respectable
manner.
Yours very truly,
L. J. Palda.

the habit OF crawling through

them in the act.

If They Catch Him -.

Two sisters were assaulted by a
negro at Eupora, Webster county,
last week, and, if they are caught it
is practically settled there will be a
lynching. Every merchant in the
town closed his doors, hounds were
te~legraphed for from Greenville and
posses went in full pursuit. The
outrage was committed at the home
Of a farmer named Dunn, two miles
from Eupora, whose two daughters
were alone in the yard when accost-
ed by a negro whose name cannot be
learned. The 18-year-old girl was
knocked down and her elder sister
went for a gun, but the cartridge
jammed and she was knocked down.
Before the negro could accomplish
his purpose the girl first assaulted
seized a scantling and struck the
nan a singing blow over the head.
The negro fled and posses were i'm

Of the State. To others, 1t will be q
pleasure to know the scenes, where
younger sisters find such happiness.
and to others, still, will come the joy
or hoping and planning to send to this
great seat Of learning some special
child, whose work in their rural school
makes sunshine in a shady place"
to the oft-times discouraged teacher.
The State has been so generous to
her schools. The gentlemen intrust.
ed with the administration OF the af-
fairs have been SO wise and so just,
in their work, and the very best, at lit
tie cost, awaits you at these summer
schools. 1t seems an infinite pity that
so many of very best young teach
ers are going to let this opportunity
slip by because (you know the truth
always hurts) we haven't the nerve to
bestir ourselves and make the studi-
Gus, ambitious element the leading
force at the normal. 1t is 81 often the
case that the stronger, better force
is passive while the idle amusement
seeking contingent Is active. Why
may this summer not see a revolution,
and the splendid young men and wom-
en- who go there for study, and self
improvement and legitimate entertain
ment, make of themselves the leaders?
Then, and not until then, will our
summer schools do the work expected
of them. The State has done her part,
already, and it remains with the teach
ers to complete the splendid work so
as to give to each child in their care
a share in the States ~beneficence.
| know that the expense of getting
to, and staying at, these summer
schools-small as it is-counts very
heavily with some of the teachers.
but they will learn as they progress in
life's great school that they must pay
for all good hat comes to them, and
surely this good may be made an
hundred fold worth the outlay.
Just here, l can not refrain from
telling you of something of recent
occurrence. A cOmely superintendent
who likes, sometimes, to remind his
teachers that authority over them is
vested in Him" said to me, in dis
cussing the morals, and the difficulty
in getting the teachers to attend,
"Well l shall make mine go, for | in
tend to dock the salary of every one
who fails to attend" l was almost
afraid to respond to so authoritative a
power, but l finally ventured the idea
that the right kind of a s~uperintend-
ent, one who labOred as tirelessly and
as bravely for the good of the county
as the average rural teacher does for
her school-one who earned his large
salary as honestly as these teachers
earn their small ones, would not need
to use such threats. He would 30 i'm
hue his teachers with love of their
work and ambition to excel that it
would be hard to keep them away
from anything that might prove a
benefit to them or their work. We
have some such superintendent
| (would that they were multiplied four
fold), and the work of their schools
is a blessing to the State, which
grows and strengthens as its influence
spreads through days yet to come. God
speed the day when there will be one
of these wise, devoted men in each Of
flee in the State. .

fifteen minutes later he found he was

The Romance That Came Too Late.

A young man residing in a neigh
boring town recently bought a shirt
which was purchased in the East.
Rolled up in the inside of it he found
a note from a young lady who had
worked on it, in which she said she
would be pleased to correspond with
the buyer of the shirt, provided he
was matrimonially inclined. OF
course, the nice young man answered
it on perfumed paper and used his
rosiest language, stating how glad he
would be to marry. In a short time
he received an nswer stating that the
young lady had been married three
years and had two children. Upon
investigation to find out WIN he was
too late it was explained by the fact
that the shirt had lain on the shelves
of the local dealer for several years.
He did not adyertise.-National ADJ
