brains and gumption. He liked to
talk about higher education" the
uplifting of the Masses" and
things like that, And So, when
his proclamation was hurled upon
the startled people Of the state,
they were pleased and said: Here
is a governor as is a governor!
We've had nothing like him!
What a writer he is! What a
massive brain and penetrating in
%tellect he p%ossesses!" And the
people of our fair commonwealth
were filled with joy and pride.
Xxx
There was at the time in Bis
marck an iconoclastic cuss the first
letter Of whose name was-and is
Tom Poole. He was and. is a
sinful lad-one whom Holly Joe
would not for a minute consider
worthy to sit among the elect and
help divide up the proceeds
dumped from the contribution box.
But Thomas whose surname is
Poole, has a memory, and having
been brought up on the banks Of
the raging Jim, amid the political
turmoil of SCOTSMAN county, it
goes without saying that said
Thomas is what is known in the
parlance of the sinful as "foxy."
Thomas read that Thanksgiving
proclamation and he thunk a
think-in fact a series of thinks.
The diction was familiar. It
seemed to him that he had heard it
before. So he proceeded to in
vestigate. He looked over the
copies Of the Thanksgiving pro-
Carnations of the governors of
other states, on file at the Bis
marck capitol, and he made the
astounding discovery that Joe had
cribbed his proclamation bodily
OF rather, by piecemeal. He had
had taken the creamy sentence
from a dozen proclamations or So,
and had blended the sentences
with scarcely the addition of an
article, a con junction or a prepo-
sition, giving out the product as
original.
This was the great literary gem
that this consummate hypocrite
had launched upon the people of
North Dakota, and it is for this
reason that even the voting In
dams in the northern part of the
state refer to Holy Joe as, "Chief
Thanksgiving Proclamation"
And this literary kleptomaniac
is a fair sample of the Muckrake
Brigade that is trying to over
throw the one-term state officers of
North Dakota, and prevent them
from receiving the usual compli-
ment of a second term nomination.
Ugh!

STATE COMMENT
"cHlER THREE SALARIES

Linton Record: One Of the
"good government" leaders is a
gent named Devine, more popu-
larly known throughout the state
as "Holy joe" Joe is a genius.
He is noted for his sanctimonious
appearance on the rostrum. When
Joe gets up to speak he closes his
eyes and assumes a devout appear
ance. When the writer first saw
him arise to crate, he thought Joe
was a blind man. There is a big
bunch Of hungry politicians in
this so called reformer outfit, from
the Pattersons and Braddocks Of
the counties to the ex-ofice hold
ers Of state prominence, like Spald-
ing, Winship, Felgeson. Frank
White, etc, etc. But notwith-
standing Joe's beatific appearance
when making talk medicine, the
stalwart republican papers Of the
state are at the present time
monkeying with his dignity in a
most disrespectful manner. They
refer to him as "Chief Three
Salaries" It seem that once up
on a time, when Joe was lieuten-
ant governor-Joe wasn't a reform
er then because Joe held Office
the governor, Frank Briggs, passed
to the great beyond. Joe acted
as governor. Then Governor
Lieutenant Governor Joe drew two
salaries. While filling both Offices
SO far as the salary was concerned:
Joe got a side-line job to make a
spiel at some state educational
function. Joe put in a bill for
that, and then Joe drew three
salaries. That is why the unre-
generate newspaper men Of the
state refer to Joe as ''Chief Three
Salaries"
Xxx
Joe is also being given the title
of "Chief Thanksgiving Proclama-
ton" The wherefore Of this is al
so here given:
Joe is a dramatic cuss, and an
attitudinizer from away back.
When Joe stepped into Govern
or Briggs shoes he look around
for some medium through which
he might create a sensation. The
drawing nigh of Thanksgiving day
would give him the opportunity.
Presently there burst upon the
people Of the state a proclamation
that made everybody sit up and
take notice. Frank Briggs had
been a plain, unassuming business
man, who had few airs, kept his
eyes open when he talked, and was
ambitious only to give the people
a successful administration. His
manner was a great deal like that
of Governor Sarles. But Joe was
an educator" and a man of

There is talk of removing the pres
ent White House stable-a structure
which has been in use since the days
Of the Grant administration. There are
various good reasons why change OF
location should be made, but one Of the
most important is found in the belief
that the health Of the horses is af-
fected by the present location. Natural
ly this Is an influential factor, for
never before in the history Of the
country have the stables at the White
House been occupied by horses SO val
liable as those quartered there since
the Roosevelt family took up their res
idence at the Presidential Mansion.
Moreover, the present stable Is not
large enough for present needs. Fiji
teen horses regularly find shelter In
the brick building opposite the Cor
coran Art Gallery. Eight Of the horses
belong to the Roosevelt family, while
the remaining seven are the property

that the youngest member Of the Pres
idential family Is at present engrossed

but Is instead a native Of Iceland, and
was imported from that dreary isle by
Secretary Of the Interior Hitchcock,
who presented him to Archie. The pony
is a male, stands thirty three inches In
height, and weighs $50 pounds.
A pensioner that has attracted the
attention Of many visitors to the White
House stables during the past four
years Is the Presidents old black polo
pony, Diamond, upon whose back every
one of the Roosevelt children learned
to ride. In this connection it may be
noted that sentiment also impels the
President to give space in the White
