THE CASE OF BID DUBBS.

Bid Dubbs sat on fence rail for
three hours Tuesday, whiting -Loes-

Bid Dubbs nlsde something more
than a pile OF writings that Tuesday.
He made himself famous and his case
is being discussed editorially turnout
the country.
The verdict is practically unanimous
that Bid is a mo account" cracker.
Judgment is formed ON the event of

store once in a while and the rest OF
his time he occupied in whiting and
ehewing tobacco and testing his skill
at firing at a crack in the sidewalk.
Bid Dubbs Giant later saved his
country in an emergency.
The wrong to ones self and to So
eiety is not in sitting for three hours
on rail fence and whiting. The
mortality tables show thousands of

The wrong consists in making whit

vacation; if so he could not have bet

splitting the weed, taking in washing,
and cooking the meals for Bid to eat,
Bid was not making fair return to
the world for what the world was Civ
ing him.
There are a lot of fellows on the
farm who discuss ways and means of

Those who are familiar with the sit
,iation in Carroll county and the cir
cumstances attendant on the republi-
can convention of that county, will re-
call that Mr.. ]. B. Hungerford, editor
of the Carroll Herald, postmaster at
Carroll. and incumbent of trustee
ship over the State Agricultural Col
lege; found convention time an excel
lent opportunity for a vacation. Mr..
Hungerford and his newspaper were
active adherents of Mr.. Perkins and
opposed quite as actively to Governor
Cummins. While Ben SaHnger was at
4 tempting the role of an ignoble Hora-
thus in an attempt to hold the stairway
to the convention hall, Mr. Hungerford
was recuperating his strength far afield
and possibly preparing to fight anoth-
err day In his absence. Salinger held
his rump convention. Mr.. Hungerford,
like Mr.. Henry, of the Coon Rapids
Enterprise, was named by the Salinger
convention as delegate. Henry, 1t
will be remembered, repudiated Salin-
ger and all his works, and ordered his
name of the fake delegation by tele-
phone. Now. Mr.. Hungerford has re-
turned, sound in body and refreshed
in mind, and this is what he says in
his newspaper:
AS we ascertain the facts, the sew
eral caucuses gave the governor 124
fairly elected delegates; Perkins had
eight and five were contested. Under
these circumstances the supporters of
Governor Cummins were entitled TO the
delegation to the state convention. We
fail TO see single reason, one that can
be defended according to any code of
political ethics or parliamentary pro-
cedure. why the "rump' or so-called
Perkins convention was held. The
name of the writer was used in connec-
ton without his knowledge or consent.
He was 1000 miles away and had no
opportunity TO protest against such an
nnwarrauted use OF his name. and now
on his first opportunity he wishes to
say without equiyocation that he most
emphatically repudiates the '.rump'
convention and deuounces its proceed
ings aud purposes. He refuses 10
stand for any nefarions attempt TO de.
feat the Will of the majority. whether
it be la the country or the state at
large. The adoption of such methods
is 6ubversive of the basic principle of
popular government. and no candidate
placed before the people by virtue of
cl,icanery is entitled 10 the suffrage of
republican voters. We can not believe
that the party organization viii ever

and is ever heard OF. or accomplishes
anything OF merit. He adds nothing to
the happiness of life and IL often re-
sponsible for much woe. One will get
the respect of his fellows, get more
out of life and reap more from the
harvest il he doesn't sit on the rail
but walks along the fence looking for
the bad places where the stock is
likely to get thru and into the corn
He can do it leisurely and white
while he's about IT. The test is his
willingness to lay aside the knife and
the piece OF pine when he finds bad
place, and TO take up the ax. the ham
mer, and the SAN, and repair the dam
age, or put up Il new fence.
