JUD's LOCAL PULL.

The fact that Jud LaMoure attended
the 'meetlng of the state equalization
board is freely commented on, and by
some Of the papers his. motives are ques-
toned. The News is not an admirer OF
LaMoure and his methods at all times,
but during the fifteen years we have tax
en- an interest In North Dakota politics
we have noticed that he always grasps
every opportunity to forward the inter-
ests Of Pembina county and her people,
and his influence with the state board Of
equalization has saved his constituents
hundreds of dollars. In this respect at
least he is better representative of his
district than many of his colleagues in
the state and senate who throw up their
hands in righteous horror-whenever
they are left out of the combine, -
Hankinson News.
It seems to be necessary every year to
repeat to some newspapers that Mr.. La
Moure is the accredited representative of
this county before the state equalization
board, and is appointed as such by a
board of county commissioners OF whom
four are democrats. Mr.. LaMoure has
served in this capacity for number OF
years, and the fact of annual appoint
ment is proof sufficient that the people
here are satisfied with his services. And
we might add that in our opinion there
is no man in the state who is better quail.
ifed, in judgment, ability, and fairmind.
edness to deal with the problems Of
assessment and taxation.

things in this state for many years, eve

things in this state for many years, even
before statehood. 1t also insinuates that
this machine" has been organized for
pelt and graft and to rob the state. Now
if this is true why don't the Herald give
us some facts. That this machine" has
usually had control in political affairs
within the party is not to be denied by
anybody. This fact in itself may be a
damning affair, but if so it is no more so
than it is to tn e machine" of the minor
ity who have had the desire bur not the
luck and ability to oust the other fellows.
The minority machine" who go just
now by the name of coyotes" have not
run things all these years just because
they couldn't, that's all.
The question that has come to the
people all these years is not so much as
to who has run things but rather how
have things been run? If this state has
been run by machine during all these
years, then it deserves all the glory as
we'll as all the blame.
If what is true as claimed by the Her
aid and some other papers, then the his
tory of the state of North Dakota is the
history of the machine"
And what is that history? 1t is the his.
tory of young state whose financial
needs were twenty years in advance Of
its income. We needed universities,
colleges, normal schools. asylums, pen
itentiaries and thousand other things
for which we had the population but moi
the assessed valuation.
With all these financial difficulties, the
public institutions have been provided
and provided for to an extent that NORTH
Dakota stands o-day far ahead of many
older states, and no new state has evel
had a better record.
In all this building, in the sale and in
vestment of the large proceeds of schoo
and institution lands there has never
been a scandal, an embezzlement, OF
graft shown up. When the state got in
to financial difficulties, when the govern
or vetoed the appropriation for the state
schools, whenever it has been needed
means have been provided to carry
things over.
| Politically we admit that the Herale
and some of the coyotes" have reason
for opposing the rule of the machine
but the records have nothing substantial
to say against the manner in which it ha:
used its power in running the state
They have made mistakes, in men ane
sometimes in methods, but they have
been mistakes and were the mistake:
that naturally occur to all who "de
things"
These men whom the Herald slur!
with the name Of the machine" have
for twenty years been doing and work
ing for the state, while the Herald ane
the other coyotes" have stood at the
side of the road and knocked" at ever,
thing done, That's the record. By thei
works ye shall know them.

The Edgeley Mail has new cartoon
ist who is doing very fair work for an
amateur. Last week he had picture Of
Bryan going to Europe in tub. The
most humorous thing about it, however,
was that while the sails were bellying
out with fair wind, the flag flying at the
mast head was streaming directly to-
wards the stern in the opposite direction
1t makes us think of the time when
Bryan tried to sail his boat to the presi.
dental chair with the populistic and
democratic breezes blowing opposite to
each other as the propelling powers.

LIKE N1GGER LOU.

The Grand Forks Herald in the Sum
day issue quite fairly reviews our editor
ial on the Capitol commission, but
reiterates its charges of the clark ways"
they have of doing things.
But it says "The purport of the (Pion-
eer Express article being that they are
all honorable men, and again "The
Herald has no quarrel with the blograph-
ical sketches presented" And then the
Herald goes on to again repeat that
these men whom it admits to be honor
able, against whose characters as written
up by this paper it can find no fault, are
in its opinion like the darkey who stole
the chicken feed that was provided by
the authorities of the poor house. They
prefer to do things in the dark. Just
how the Herald can reconcile the ways
of honorable men and an imbecile dark
ey thief is rather more than we can faith
ON.
The Herald appears to take it as
sort of joke that Cove rnor Sarles had
anything to do with the appointment of
these men. 1t states as fact that all the
rest of the Offices were parcelled out by
the machine" and that it is amusing to
suppose that it left these to the choice of
the governor.
Well, suppose that the Herald facts
are facts, though it may take some imag-
ination to do so even for illustration.
Suppose the machine" did appoint
these men. Ifthese are good men for
the places, the result to the state at large
could not be very different, no matter
who is responsible for the appointments.
If they are honorable men th., they are
not afflicted with the mental obliquity
of nigger LOU" because in that case
they would not be honorable.
But this leads to another proposition.
The Herald practically and interentially
if not actually, charges that this awful
bugbear of a political machine" has run

THE TERMS OF PEACE.

Japan and Russia have concluded
terms of peace. In the opinion of most
people the Russians have the best of the
bargain. This is mostly based on the
ground that Japan gave up the cash
idemnity for the cost Of the war.
A few years ago this country was at
war with Spain. We had Spain, to use
slang but expressive phrase. clicked to
standstill." When it came to making
terms of peace, we could have imposed
almost any terms we chose. The world
expected ths we would force Spain to
pay us at less;s in part for the cost of the
war. But much to its astonishment
we let Spain go. 1t was magnanimous
on our part, but 1t was really one of the
greatest victories of the war. 1t in
spired respect for this country FROM
other nations that could not be bought
with money.
In the present case the japanese have
done even more. The negotiations at
Portsmouth had arrived at the point that
peace depended entirely on the question
Of money. Russia declared they would
''not pay one kopeck' and for week
or more the question of the continuation
Of the war, the question OF hurting two of
the mightiest armies the world has ever
seen, at each other, with the consequent
loss of lite and limb, was made matter
OF dollars and cents. Russia said mot
one kopeck." Japan said, eve have all
and more that we asked at the beginning
OF the war. Our losses are great, but
Russia has lost far more. She has lost
in battle, she has lost her navy, she has
lost Port Arthur, she has lost Korea and
her influence in China, she has lost half
Of Sakhalien, and most of these we have
gained. 1t is enough. Let lis have
peace"
The emperor of Japan is supposed to
be heathen, the car of Russia is Chris
tian. But it is possible that the Japanese
was actuated in his terms of peace by a
larger christian spirit than was the car.
This may not appear on the records of
the diplomatic correspondence but if
true, there is record made that will not
be read until the day when ''the books
shall be opened"

Communication.

Rev. J. G. Moore writes of the Till
case.
To The Editors of the Pioneer Express:
l was much interested in the appeal of
Joseph Till recently made through the
columns OF your paper. From the hour
of his trial, while considering the strength
of the circumstantial evidence, 1 have
believed him to be an innocent man.
have expressed myself to this effect to
Judge Kneeshaw, Mr.. Morden and many
other citizens of Pemblna county. My
conviction was strengthened by state
ments made to me by Mrs. Adam Miller
through an interpreter at the home of
Mr.. Kochendoerfer of'your city. saw
Till in the penitentiary at Bismarck sew
eral years ago and called the attendants
attention to the fact that believed the
prisoner to be innocent, who answered,
eyes, they are all innocent.
1 have on several occasions expressed
my willingness to become actively inter
ested in bringing Till's case before the
authorities. My conviction is til at the
man ought to be pardoned or have new
trial. may add that was personally
acquainted with the murdered man,
Adam Miller, that talked with Mrs. Mill
er regarding the murder of her husband
on several occasions and that attended
Court during the trial and have had op-
portunity to form an opinion of the char
acter of several of the witnesses for the
state.
The appeal made by the prisoner
through the columns of your paper has
its pathetic side. Even had he been "a
tool in the hands of others" as you sug-
gest in your editorial, he has had taken
from him ten years of his life. In i'm
paired health he appeals to the public
for Justice, not mercy.

DEATH OF A PIONEER.

j. R. Wicks, one of the best known
pioneers of this county, died at his
home in Onecho precinct Wednesday,
July 5, of consumption.
The deceased was born in Pennsyl-
vania in 1889, but located on home
stead on the Penewawa 80 years ago,
where he had since made his home
and built up competence.
The funeral services were held
Thursday at noon, under the auspices
of the A. o. U. w. lodge of which
the deceased was a member. Funeral
addresses were made by Thos. Neill,
of this city, and j. A. Perkins OF
Colfax, close personal friends of Mr..
Wickes during his life, it being one
of his last requests that they should
speak.
Interment was in the Onecho ceme-
terry. A wife, two sons and daughter
survive.

WILL MACADAM|lE
THE CITY STREETS
The Council Votes to Proceed With
the Improvement of the Prin-
cipal Streets.

Z At the regular meeting of the coun-
Gil last Thursday by vote of FIVE to
one it was decided to proceed with the
improvement of the principal streets of
the city by the construction of the
best type of macadam pavement.
The resolution adopted some weeks
ago set Thursday night as the time
for the hearing of objections to the
proposed improvement, and number
of property owners were present to
raise their voices for or against the
proposition.
The streets considered Thursday ev-
ening were Main ard Grand, the form
er from Grand street east 1178 feet,
and the latter for 1470 feet of its
length. Of main street, the owners
of sos feet of its frontage entered pro-
test against the macadamizing, while
the owners of 673 feet were in favor
of the proposition. On Grand street,
the division was $40 for and 500 against.
On this showing councilmen Henry,
Priest, Carpenter, Dixon and Baker
voted to macadamize, while Council
man White voted in opposition.
The preliminaries of the work will
be commenced at once, and in few
weeks Pullman win be in the very
front rank of P;'Gfse -toytns in regarc
to streets, as she is now in every Other
regard.
Another matter before the council
was the passage of the ordinance pro-
viding for the construction of a side
walk leading to the J. M. Palmerton
property on Sunnyside, the ordinance
being passed by unanimous vote. An
ordinance was read the first time pro-
viding that permission must be asked
of the council when any barn or other
building is to be erected within the
city limits. Complaints have come
that barns and other outbuildings are
often constructed without due regard
for the rights of the neighbors, and
the ordinance was framed to head off
the creating of public nuisances.
