INGALLS,.

September lO.-A little cooler to
day. We have been having very
warm weather for the last week or
two. The thermometer stood at e6
In the shade at $50 p. No. Yesterday.
We then moved it out into the sun
for Is minutes and 1t went up to l2O.
II the glass had been foot longer
there IS no telling how high it would
have gone. .
Miss Clara Moen has just received
her new organ and it is beauty.
F. Wheat on the ridge is going 20
bushels to the acre. Threshing is
going on at Erick Peterson's today.
The Barneko Bros. are there with
their machine. There are many here
who haven't got their grain stacked
yet, it is so hard to get help as there
are so many gone to North Dakota
for work
Roy Ingalls, is pulling beans tod ay
las he could not get man to help
him stack. He has a big crop of
them and they have matured we'll
this year. We took a little spin out
last evening with our colt and buggy.
/. 1t begins to be busy times for can
didates who are just aching to get
a rich rake-off by the way of fat
office. 1t just seems as though
when man gets office he never
knows when to let go of it, and no
wonder, as some who have had office,
were, or claimed to be poor when
elected, but after being in office can
go into the banking business. Only
one or two, that we know of, have
gone back to the farm. We have al.
ways advocated that four years ir
succession Was enough for a man.
then, let some one else have cnance
TO get into the banking business, but
it does seem so hard for a man to lie,
go when he once gets into the court
house. We can't see why one set
of men should have the office all the
time, when there are dozens, yes,
hundreds in the county who cau
do the business equally as we'll.

NO PRIMARIES
WILL BE HELD
Several East End townships
Lack Enough Officers
To Hold Elections


either unanimous. popular, or general
IN this county next Tuesday. Audi
tor Malberg has received word from
several townships in the east end
that officers do not intend to spend a
day at the polls for $3.50, when they
can get $3.50 at the threshing
machine, and if they have team it
means $500 for them to be out at
work.
Candidates who base their hopes of
success on the rural vote will con-
sequently find their chances largely
reduced. The villages will have a
larger influence than ever in the
primaries this year. Some SEM
blance of an election has been held
in all the townships organized before,
and II no one else appeared to exer-
else the right of franchise one could
always count on the four or five
voters in the board.
The high wages offered for men and
teams in North Dakota during the
threshing season is responsible for
the refusal of town boards to hold
primary elections. AS soon as the
small helds of grain belonging to the
homesteaders were harvested, prepar-
atlons we're made to go west and go
they did, and they will stay as long
as there is a wheel turning in the
threshing rig. Forty to fifty days of
work at 81. 50 to $500 per day means
a good deal to most of them and they
can't to overlook that. much money
IN one lump. Chairmen, supervisors,
town clerks and county commits
sioners have departed in wholesale
and don't expect to be back much
before the time for general election.
One township reports that the town
clerk-is the only voter left in the
town. He has the undoubted right
Guaranteed by the constitution to
vote, but it Is going to be a puzzle
to him how to exercise that right.
Some of these absent town officials
may have some troublesome uues-
tions to answer when they return.
Their oath of Office binds them to
perform their official duties faithfully
according to law. The most impor-
tant of these duties is to preserve to
every citizen the right to vote To
vote at the primaries is just as i'm
portant in the eyes of many as to
vote at the general election. When
these town boards neglect to open
polls and receive votes according to
law they have violated their official
obligation, and the least that can be
done is to declare their places vacat-
ed and new officials installed.
However, there is no intention to
be severe with these men, who are
striving to make homes for themselves
and their families on these fertile
plains. The bitter.criticism is direct
ed against the legislature that placed
the date of the primary election law
at such time. If the next legisla-
ture does not change the date to June
or July there will be such an outcry
from the rural communities as will
do away with primary elections en-
tirely- Legislative candidates should
} be pledge on this matter before they
are accepted this fall. AS things
; stand now the large cities and will.
ages control nominations just as com.
pletely as they did by the old con.
lvention method.

RAILROAD WANTED
THE MONEY
The Big Corporations are Quicker
at Making Collections Than
at Paying Claims

- Those who have had experience in
collecting claims for damages, or
money of any kind, from railroad
company will appreciate the history
of a little tiff that occurred between
County Auditor Malberg and one of
those soulless individuals a short
time ago. ....-
The county commissioners had re-.
ceived one of the many viewers re-
ports that have been made this sum-
mer, this one on a ditch which was
to cross railroad right Of way in
the north part of the county. The
ditch made it necessary that the
railroad company put in a bridge,
but not until the ditch was dug.
For this bridge the viewers allowed
the company damages in the amount
of s64O.
AS soon as the railroad company
found that the viewers report had
been accepted by the board they
wrote Auditor Malberg to please re-
NIT. The suddenness of the request
for money made the auditor catch
his breath, but he got his wind in
minute and replied that he could not
remit except upon bills properly au-
dited and allowed by the county
board.
It seems that the railroad company
wanted the money pretty badly for
they came right back With the infor-
nation that they were used to get
the money for these things as soon
as the viewers report was accepted.
Auditor Malberg replied that he was
not disputing their word, but any
how his county wasn't doing busi-
ness that way. When the county
board had allowed their bill, he
would be pleased to remit, until
then, they must contain themselves
in patience.
BY return mail came the request
that the auditor call the board in
extra session and have the $40
plunks O. KID and forwarded to head
quarters. Then Malberg got mad
and lost all respect for the mighty
corporation and wrote them real
sassy letter. He just told them that
this county would lot send them
that money till the u.tch was dug,
the bridge built, ana sur !eyor's report
accepted. That any other method
was contrary to law, and that. what
other counties did in like instances
was immaterial to him. Since then
there has been no request for that
money. .~.
That a corporation has no con-
science and no sense OF justice can
be known from the fact that they
wanted this little s64O from the
county from one to two years before
they were entitled to it; and, in
many cases, they get it, too; while,
if an ordinary individual sustains
damages to his person or his property
by or through corporation he has
to fight for his rights every inch Of
the way, and wait for his money til
his hair grows gray. The man whe
can find a way to make the railroad
companies as prompt in matters o!
payment as they are in collection.
is entitled to the gratitude of tht
law-abiding populace.

Philosophy o. lbsen

Ibsen is a big subject. The famous
Norwegian plays well forth a library Of
controversial record. The philosophy of
his plays Is even moro occult than are
the plays considered from a non-phlo-
sophie viewpoint. But the many theater-
goers who have always felt unduly per
picked with Ibson's contentious will pre-
sumably approve the Theater Magazine,
which says:
"Ibsen had exactly the same sentiment
that Hamlet had I'm thinking that the
world was all wrong Did Ibsen suggest
a remedy No. lie simply exercised n
certain skill and vented himself OF
morbid hatred Of existing things. Not
bold enough 10 preach anarchy as a solu-
tion, he eXerted his skill 10 demonstrate
that society. as ~ present constituted Is
anarchy. His plays lead us TO believe
that Norway or Scandinavia Is one Of the
purieus of hell Ibsen loved the truth.
but he revealed secrets, and he was more
OF railer than a prophet.

mite as the rank of Browning among

out there and the employers were trying
10 flood the city with all men OF all crafts
so the the work might be done more
cheapy when conditions would force
them TO remain idle and without money
The letter also stated that there were
still more than 1000 living In tents, which
would add 10 the dlsagreeablity OF the
season.
All the building has been stopped. with
the exception OF temporary structures
The prospects are that there viii be some
starvation before the season is over

ing be smoke talk and all OF the mem
bers OF the craft would be invited 10 at
