Wills were at first oral, as were also
gifts of land, and were only morally
binding on the survivors. Orlgen and
other fathers Of the early church cred
tied Noah with having made a will,
and in the fourth century the bishop
of Brescia declared all those hereticai
who denied Noah's division of the
world to bis three sons by will. The
Oldest known wills are those of Egypt.
Both oral and written wills not infre-
quently contained imprecatlons on
those who should neglect them. The
earliest written will In existence 10
that OF Sennacherib, which was found
In the royal library OF Konyunjik.
There is a great sameness about our
own royal wills. They mainly relate
to beds, bedding, clothes, personal or
naments, gold and silver cups and pay
ments for masses. and are generally
AZ prosaic a. one could contrive.

THE democratic organ down
the street has been making a
great ado proclaiming that the
republican candidates for county
com missioners were not legally
nominated according to a recent
decision in q Day county case
The paper refuses to see that
the Day county case, where &C
tion was brought between two
contesting candidates, is alto
gether different from the case
II Grant county, where no con-
test was instituted and where
the names were placed upon the
ballot without objection from
any quarter. The Review is
simply endeavoring to get votes
for the democratic ticket by in
timating that the republican
candidates will not be seated if
elected. It is up to the repub-
Tcan voters to see that Rudolph
Berkner and John Erickson get
: good majority for county com
missioners. The seating bust
ness will take care Of itself.

The republican county cen
trail com mlttee, believing thai
the general apathy as to the
political situation will tend to the
polling of but a light vote, has is
sued a circular calling attention
to this fact, and urging the re
publican voters to attend the
polls. Following is the circular
Milbank, Oct. 20, 1906.
Realizing that the coming election
on November 9th, 1906, occurs wher
electors will be busy, and some may
feel that because there is no close con
test. their votes will be of little i'm
portance, we wish to admonish voters
that the Democrats are making az
active campaign.
It is important that each precinct
cast full republican vote to main.
tain or increase it's number OF dele
gates to the county convention.
Again it is important as the number
of deleg ates to the next State Conven'
tion depends upon the votes cast for
the Governor at this election.
For these and other reasons which
suggest themselves, the Republican
County Central Committee urgently
requests that you vote at said election.

A Little Joke ON the Democrats

Our democratic friends haye be
come very technical recently In the
matter of making nominations for
county commissioner. AS matter OF
fact the legal technicalities in the way
OF the submission OF the proposed
primary law in 1905 were far greater
and more numerous than those which
perhaps may have been violated in
making the republican nominations
for county commissioners, which all
goes to show that with certain kinds
Of people the question OF whose OK Is
gOred determines their political attl-
tude.
An examin alton Of the petition NOM
mating John NOrd as democratic
candidate for county commissioner
showed that it was signed by "A peo-
pie and further examination OF the
record shows that out of this "A there
were 9 who voted at the republican
caucus, held previously.
Section 1908 of the political code OF
1908 provides among other things that
no person shall join in nominating
more than one person for any place
to be filed. The nine gentlemen above
referred to had already joined in nom.
mating the republican candidate and
therefore their signatures to the Nord
petition were void and illegal.
Subtracting them from the petition
/ and but Is are left, five less than the
minimum required bv law; hence the
| nomination OF Mr.. NOrd is strictly
| illegal under the present law.
| Our democratic experts are invited
| to give this matter as careful consider
alton as they have been giving othel
technical points recently Big Ston

The editor Of the Review has
had . great deal to say with re-
ference to the irregular nomina-
tion BY the republican party in
this county, Of its candidates for
county commissioners, whose
names now appear upon the Of
fetal ballot. His contention,
however, is inconsistent in view
Of the fact that in October, 1902.
be made application to the cir.
cult court Judge to have placed
upon the ticket the names of the
democratic nominees, and at the
that time claimed that it would
~ improper and unjust for the
courts to disfranchise the demo
cratic party on account of a trif
ing lrregulariiy. A hearing wa:
had IN the case Of State ex re
Volkmar VS. Truran, who was
then county auditor, and tn,
circuit Judge made an order d.
rectine the auditor to print upoI
the official ballots the names o,
the democratic nominees. Al
that time the editor criticised
quite severely the republican OF
1cials, who had forced him t.
make application to the courts il
order to determine the legalit,

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

they had plenty of time to make
an application, and the fact thai
they did not proceed in any legal
way should be sufficient to con
vince any fair minded man thai
their claim has no foundation il
truth or right.
The supreme court of Nortl
Dakota, in the case of Gromwald
v. Porter, held that, "The cen
duct of the delegates present a.
a party convention refraining
from voting does not invalidatt
the action of those who do vote, .
which plainly illustrates the
rule which we contend for that
the fact that only a part OF the
republican convention in this
county voted for the nominations
of com missioners does not inval
idate the nominations"
The case of Cham berlain v
Hedger, decided by our own su
preme court, goes even further
and holds, that the canvassine
board cannot refuse to give acer-
tificate of nomination to a person
voted for who is not properly
nominated and that the person
who holds a certificate ofelection
is clothed with the right to hold
Office
From the above, it will be very
clear as to what will be the duty
of the republicans on election
day. They should vote for the
republican nominees and not be
misled by the false claims OF
some of the democrats. If Mr..
Berkner and Mr.. Erickson re
ceived a majority of the votes
they will hold Office for the ter ms
for which they are elected.

The best is the
cheapest" isn't true

Of everything; but it's true of
clothes. All-wool fabrics wear
longer, keep shape better, hang
better, and fit better than "mer-
cerized cotton" fabrics; and these
are the things ou want our
clothes for.
All-wool clothes will cost u
more than part cotton of course;
the point we make is that even at
the higher prices there cheaper.
It is real econom to buy
Hart, Schafner & Marx suit, and
pay $1S- or $50 or $25 or even more,
instead of putting $l2 or SIS into
suit that's made of "mercerized
cotton fabric which will fail alb
solutely to do the things you
expect Of your clothes. You may
save few dollars; but you lose
money in the end by buying such
clothes. Come in and let us show
you our new line for Fall and
Winter. Well be glad to do so.

The Oysters of the Gulf.

Louisiana has just annexed d slice Of
Mississippi. thanks to Il decision of the
United States Supreme court which
was handed down last week. The
territory involved is not large enough
/ to cause serious trouble for the map
makers or students of geography, but
for the two states it is d matter of con-
siderable Importance. The strip of
300 square miles in area and most of it
is salt swamp. or low lying islands off
the coast of Louisiana and fronting on
Mississippi sound; but there is much
larger amount of submerged territory
which is of great value since it is the
hest oyster territory south of Chesa-
peake bay.
The president of the Louisiana oyster
commission declares that this territory
| will provide a supply Of bivalyes which
| Ia practically inexhaustible He says
| that the natural supply is immense.
| state will lease oyster farms, and that
The increase from this source will con-
tinue as time goes on. AS result of
| the decision, most of the canning
factories now located in Mississippi will
lie removed to Louisiana, in order that
| the operators may conform to
| Louisiana laws. which differ widely
| from those in force in the sister state.
One of these laws even provides that
| Louisiana oysters may not be sold in
shell outside the boundaries of
| Louisiana, which is one reason why the
Gulf oyster is comparatively unknown
i'm the Widdle West. Apropos of this
| decision it comes to mind that oysters
are eaten in Louisiana and Mississippi
| at all seasons. They seem as delicately
| favored to the northern palate in July
as in January, and they are eaten just
as freely 1t must be that the Long
Island and Chesapeake oysters are of a
different variety. or else our northern
prejudice against them i'll hot weather
is not well founded.
