Basford the Lobby.

The Fl, ronite says that the Repub-
Iican party of the state is not dominated
by the rsilroad lobby and yet its editor
knows that he lobby selects candidates,
nurries to the opening of every legisia-
tnre and organizes it. Whoever opposes
is a boxer, urgent and marked for
slaughter and SO false and faWnlng have
become politicians that they deny what
they know to exist to the disgrace OF
legislation and the slow destruction OF
a republican form Of government Il ed
field Press.
The Huronite insists that its state
ment of the situation in his case is true.
Basford knows that it is true and to
bolster up his position he is using all
the cunning gsined in a life spent in pol
tiles and pulpit. The Press says that
the lobby selects candidates The HUI
ronite would ask Mr. Basford if Il e
lobby selected Coe |. Crawford for
congress in 1886? 1t would ask
him if The lobby selected o. ). Bias
ford chairman OF the republican
state committee in 1894? 1t would
ask if it made Thomas Thorson secreta-
nv of state? 1t would ask him If it
made David Eastman commissioner OF
schools and public lands? If it made II
G. Shober insurance commissioner and
nominated score of other candidates
Did the lobby give Basford clerkshir
in 1903 and take care of his man Miles
in 1905? and if it did make these selec
tions why are these men so down on the
lobby now? If the alleged lobby did
these things did it do wrong? Did il
foster upon the party enemies OF the PEG
pie? Who is the lobby? Is it CRAWFORD
and Basford? Are they not today try
ing to nominate candidates and advance
themselves to place and power within
the state? Has Basford and his new
formed political associates any rights
not granted to other persons? Have
they political freedom not given to 9th
ers? When they seek to control con
ventions, nominate state tickets, shape
legislation, elect United States senators
are they not doing the very things they
hold is crime when performed by 9th
ers? When did this cloak of righteous
ness fall on their shoulders? Do they
set themselves up as superior human
beings? Are they any better than 9th
,srs, and if so in what way?

the game In the hands of their oppo;

have had an ''otf" day and they
played ball accordingly. The usual

In their midst. They seemed to be
unable to locate the leather or to hold
it when they once discovered its where
sbouts and their performances with

secondary order. The fact that they

Den9erud Not Insane.

Pursuant 70 complaint entered by
Mrs. AISLE Dsngerud, of Dovre, her
husband was. examined as to hia
sanity In probate court Monday a.
ternoon. Mrs. Dengerud alleged that
her husband had threatened her upon
several OCCASIONS, that he acted
queerly at times and that it was in
possible for either her or the children
to "get along with him." a. the say
ing is. He persisted in wanting every.
thing done his own way or: not at all
and &C q direct result there had often
been ''scenes" and dissensions At
home. Several witnesses, among
which was the de PENDANT himself, were
examined and sltho some of the testi-
mony given tended to put Mr.. Denge-
rud in rather unfavorable light yet
no sufficient reasons were advanced to
warrant his being confined in an in
sane asylum and the case was accord
ingly dismissed. Extreme ill-temper
on the part OF the defendant and q
total absence of forbesrance on the
part of the rest of the family seemed
to be the underlying cause of the
whole trouble, In fact the case is one
Of these which properly belong in the
divorce court and not in the probate
court.

Hearings in Insanity Cases.

Several cases of hearings In inssn-
tty cases have occurred lately in which
It was found that there was no ground
for the allegations Of insanity. Each
one Of these cases has cost the county
from twenty-five to thirty dollars In
fees for officers and physicians. TO
avoid this unnecessary expense In the
future Judge A. F. Nordin has decided
to adopt rule now enforced In many
counties in tho state, requiring the
person making the complaint to be-
come responsible for the expenses in
case the person to be examined 10
found of sound mind, or else requir-
log the complainant to procure the a.
adavit Of reputable physician to the
effect that he belieyes the psrson to be
90 examined 10 of unsound mind, be-
fore the probate judge will issue On or
der for hearing. Where tho hearing
shows that the person 10 insane the
expenses will of course be born by the
county. The purpose Of tho order IL
simply to keep people, from making
such complaints without reasonable
grounds.
