ILL ADVISED
This is DR.. Howard's Opinion of
the Candidacy of
Mr.. Goss.

consider Mr.. Goss was very fool
lsh in coming before the people with
such a questionable record. He has no
person to blame for all these unpleas-
ant revelations but himself and Mr..
Noble. They have been cruel to them
selves and unjust to the people. The
cry OF slander is a convenient hiding
for bad men. Good men are not often
seriously assailed. When an individ
ual OF his own volition willingly de-
flames himself the truth is sufficient.
there being little or nothing LETT of
character either to defame or defend.
| think this is Mr.. Goss's case exactly.
1t is pity he should have gone so far
astray. but who is Mr.. Gloss that he
should not be called to a just account
Is he better than the kings of earth
who have been made to answer to their
subjects charges and paid the pen
atty, sometimes even of death If
Mr. Goss has by his business transac-
tions with the people forfeited their
confidence, should a bonus be put upon
evil doing by raising him to the pos
ition of district judge? AS a man
sows so also should he reap. Can he
expect to gather "grapes off thorns or
figs off thistles p Where a public
bridge is to be erected over a danger
GUS chasm and any person knows or
believes the timbers about to be used
in its construction are defective and
designedly neglects from sinister
motives to make it known, he is GRIM
inal and worthy of punishment.
If am correctly informed there is
but one paper in this county that is
raising warning voice against the
election of Mr.. Goss for judge of this
district and for good reasons already
given in it's columns showing most
c onclusively that the gentleman is de.
fective timber and utterly unfit for
public use in our judicial bridge,
bridge in which every man, woman and
child in these four counties is and
should be deeply interested. And that
paper is the Bottineau Courant.
If I could think the other papers
were sincere even in their silence.
much less so in their open defense of
Mr.. Goss s character they would seem
excusable but 1 cannot regard these
weakly periodicals as blameless that
purposely withhold from their patrons
any information essential to an intel
ligent discharge of public duty of
such paramount Importance as the
election of district judge

Russia Exhibits Reluctance.
Until Rojestvensky's report was re-
ce1ved Russia has exhibited leluct-
ale to give such a pledge, believing
that an ample apology, in view of the
lack of all official information on their
own side, would be sufficient.
The only conceivable danger was the
Increasing bitterness of British public
opinion, which is being famed into
feverishness far more by the announce
ment of the precautionary naval prep
arations than by the news of the out
rage itself.
The next step is likely to be taken
Ut st. Petersburg, where Count Lams-
dorff, who, it is now believed is in
possession Of Rojestvensky's report,
can deal positively instead of tenta-
lively as he did in Ambassador Benck-
endorff's letter, with the question OF
compensation and punishment.
In the meantime the British naval
preparations proceed quite apart from
the diplomatic phase of the situation
or Lord Lansdowne's expressed belief
in an early settlement. 49,.

AGAINST ] G0sS
A Summary Of the Charges That
Have Been Made Against
Mr.. Goss, who is a Can
didate for Judge.

AS previously stated in these col.
umns, Mr.. Goss as attorney in the
case of Haufenstein VS.. Caldwell
made bill Of costs verified by oath
in which Geo. j. Coulthard was
credited with 8 days attendance and
"a miles mileage amounting to 81. 90.
Mr.. Coulthard makes affidavit that he
was not subpoenaed in said case and
was not a witness. Mr.. Ebenhahn
is credited with witness fees and
mileage to the amount of SO. 40 and he
swears that he was witness in such
case only one day. Mr.. Louis Holtz
is credited with SO. 40 and swears that
he attended court only one day in
this case.
In the case Of Caldwell VS.. Cole and
in bill Of costs sworn to by Mr..
Goss in such case he makes an item
of 81. 80 for the service of subpoena
by Constable Dixon. Dixon return
supported by his affidavit says he
made charge of 60 cents for the
service.
Henry Zuleger made affidavit that
he relied on Goss' advice in giving
fictitious bill of sale and that later
Goss threatened to prosecute him for
selling the grain covered in such bill
of sale and thus compelled Zuleger to
pay 500 to be released from said bill
of sale. .-s
Lorentz johnson, defended by Goss
for blind pigging. makes affidavit that
Goss charged 500 for defending him
after agreeing to do it for $25. 90 and
further that he gave Goss a pocket
book containing $40O and su bsequently
Goss claimed there was only $3.50 in
it but after some argument admitted
it contained $400. John J. Mckee
sxears that he made loan on his land
through E. B. Goss as agent and that
doss paid him 1926 and tried to cheat
him out of the remaining 1915 and that
he claimed the loan had been fully paid ;
later and just before session of the
grand jury he acknowledged his
gQilt hy gising SAID Mckee note note
for $275. '''' ss'''>s'
These are a few things in regard to
Mr.. Goss that he cannot explain
away. All Of the afidavits mentioned
are in the custody of Squire Stewart
of Bottineau and may be seen by in
terested parties.
