Did-any one ever stop to think
that, "Only one state officer, apart
from the members Of the legislature
is elected in New Jersey by the
people at large and shat is the
Governor" And yet, we are sup.
posed to have a republican form of
government. One can readily see
what great patronage and power
our governor wields. Besides in the
absence Of the governor and Speaker
of the House a senator can act as

STICK TO THE TRUTH
Editnr Wilson Would Have the Citizens of
Minot Believe Untruths Regarding His
Paper and The Independent.

Editor Wilson, OF the Reporter,
tells some OF the business men Of
Minot that the editor of the In
dependent who formerly edited
his sheet, that he placed but 500
subscribers on his paper during
the time that he worked for him.
We will swear that Wilson had
on his list when We began work
ing for him in March, 1902,
about 600 subscribers, including
over 200 exchanges and We be-
lieve every relative Wilson ever
had, were getting the paper free
of charge. Wilson claimed when
we quit last April that he had a
circulation Of $500 subscribers.
We will wager that he has not
that many now-unless he is
sending out several hundred pa
pers gratis. Stick to the truth

Want Entries Made Legal.

| Washington, Jan. 29.-Letters
are being received by the North
Dakota members urging them to
work for the passage of the bill
introduced in the respective
houses by Senator Hansbrough
and Representative Marshall,
which proposes to validate certi.
ficates of proof on about two
hundred homesteads in the state
which were rejected by the CON-
missioner of the general land
office.
1t appears that the entry men
proved up outside of the land
districts at several county seats
in North Dakota, in accordance
with the provisions of a law that
was repealed some years ago.
This action was taken by the
homesteaders under the belief
that the law was still on the
statute books, and was approved
by the local officials. When
patents were about to issue they
were withheld by the land COM
missioner for the reason above
stated.
1t will take an act of congress
to validate the claims of the
North Dakota hOmesteaders.

THE BOSS.

Some of the daily papers and
even some of the weeklies have
raised the subject of late as to
whether or not such a thing as
a boss in politics exists. Many
contend that there are none and
then in, perhaps, anothercolum
of the same issue will appear an
ultimatum from one or another
OF these same bosses.
AS long as the game OF politics
is played the boss will figure in
it as the head and manager, who
calls the moves on the political
chessboard. He is a necessity,
for as long as people must be led
there must be a leader,
The candidates correspond to
the important men on a chess
board while the rank and file of
a party are the Pawns, to be sac
rificed at the will OF the CONTROL
ing power and for the protection
of the central figure or king.
The man, who by his superior
sagacity, cunning or knowledge
obtains a leadership in a ward,
county or state at once becomes
a boss and holds in his power
the right to make or unmake
standards or candidates. He
has a large knowledge of the
personality Of his following and
uses it for his own advantage
and the word of such a man
spoken in the places which he
finds or makes to speak it in
carries more weight than all the
spellbinders or unorganized op-
position which may be raised
against him.
Any organization, political or
otherwise, must have a boss and
for this reason it looks foolish
to deny the existance Of such in
politics.-Hiddenwood Budget.
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1904-02-03

The Tioga Gazette OF last week
throws a chunk of unadulterated
filth at the Ward County indie
pendent and incidentally at the
Budget. This is certainly dog
in the manager trick as the Ga
zette evidently does not know
when it is we'll off or when to let
we'll enough alone or it would be
only too glad to see competitor
go to the graveyard OF buried
hopes. We will only say, in
passing, that the editor OF this
paper is among other things, an
assistant undertaken, and incase
that there are any obsequies to
perform that it can bedone with
out the assistance Of the pinhead-
ed two by four sheet known as
the Gazette. From all other
sources have come words ofgoOd
cheer and encouragement and We
have set up a high standard and
it will be at all times our aim to
maintain it. We will leave the
verdict to the public and our
friends, not enemies. We will say
in regard to the Independent,
that the management Of that
paper has treated US with great
courtesy and a slam at them is
an insult to us and we do not
hesitate to take up the gauntlet
in their behalf at any time.-Hid-
denwood Budget.
