When a man draws pay from
the county for work Of a specific
character, he should give his
whole time for that purpose.
The County Superendent Of pub
lie schools should not take his
time to attend state meetings
of any political faction, nor
should he become an active
propagandist in a political party.
This is Prof. Haig's ideal of a
county superintendent. He lived
up to that ideal for nine years,
and proposes, if nominated and
elected, to carry out that kind Of
"a program. q

and the time has come for radi-
cal measures to be taken. The
nineteenth of next month should
be made an Appommatox for
these patriots for pelf. Every
one of these leaders from Win
ship down has the itch for office
so bad chat no two Of them could
be safely placed in the same ward
of hospital for Incurables.
They would scratch each other
to death.
Honorable men, honorably
differing in opinion, in triumph
or defeat, we can honor; but the
parvenuish pettyfogger, the
sanctimonious office jumper, and
the ever-to be-damned political
pirate we abhor.
This whole agitation in North
Dakota this agitation for reform
God save the mark smells like
the gehenna of'political rlngsters,
where the worn out shysters of
the world are promiscuously
segregated, anu where the smoke
OF their torment betimes befouls
the otherwise invigorating air of
an advancing civilization.
Out upon such a movement,
men of North Dakota. Bury it
fifty fathoms deep-face down
ward, and return again to the
constructive work of a great
state with a great destiny.

THE COUNTY SUPERINTEN-
DENCY.

y
port Prof. Haig in preference to
Superintendent Norton. There
are many reasons. Among them
are these: Prof. Haig is
school man, not a politician. He
has been a school man all his life.
He did not prepare for one pro-
fession and take up another.
He is a man of wide and success
full experience in the manage
ment of schools, both as a teach
er and superintendent, and has
no other ambition. He has, in
addition to these qualifications,
good executive ability, strong in
tuition, and an engaging per-
sonality.
The lnter-Ocean opposes Supt.
Norton because he is a politician,
and because he has made him
self active and offensive in chat
capacity. He is an insurgent.
He is a member of the executive
committee of the state insurgent
organization, and perhaps the
most active member of the Ram
sey county insurgent camp.
The Inter-Ocean is opposed to
the plan, purpose and policy OF
the insurgents. 1t has no pa
thence with their pretentions, no
respect for their methods, and it
condemns unequivocaIly the cow
ardly attacks by these malcon-
tents made upon reputable pub
lie men whom it believes to be
actuated by the highest motives.
The ter-Ocean believes that
Ramsey county pays Supt. Nor
ton for attending to it's public
schools, and not for his time
spent in stirring up political
strife among neighbors and life
long friends. Nor does the
county pay him for organizing
hostile political factions and
mouthing political gossip from
one end Of the county to the 9TH
er.
Supt. Norton has a perfect
right to his political views. No
one questions that right. But he
has no right when in the pay of
the county, for professional SER
vices which require his whole
time and energy, and in the dis
charge of which he should be i'm
partial, dignified and without
political bias, he has no right,
let US repeat, to give his time
and energy, land the prestige of his
office, to the initiation and the
training of political cabals
among the very people whose SER
want he is. We would condemn
him for political activity even in
the republican ranks con-
denim him as we do now, but
when is added to that offence,
the unutterable folly, and the
unforgiveable offence Of associ-
ating himself with political
scandal mongers, playing a lead
ing role, we can neither respect
the conscience nor the ability Of
the man.
These are no insinuations.
This is the attitude Of the Inter-
Ocean. 1t wishes to be und En-
stood as having no personal en-
nifty towards Prof. Norton. Its
opposition is based on what it
believes to be facts, and it op-
poses him and will continue Is
oppose him, as unfit to be q
superintendent Of our public
schools.
On the other hand, it is graft
flying to know that it has the
privilege of supporting a man
who could notbe induced to / ros-

VOTE FOR THE LOYAL
THIRTEEN.

THIRTEEN.
The Inter-Ocean desires to
speak again Of the thirteen men
who have been nominated by the
republican party of Ramsey coun-
ty to 60 as a delegation to the
State Republican convention to
be held in Jamestown the 18th.
of next month. Having learned
of the statement which is dill
gently circulated by the leaders
of the insurgents to the effect
that those men were chosen by
two or three citizens of Devils
Lake, we wish to characterize
that statement as an infamous
lie. 1t is a lie repeated after
those insurgent leaders have
been contradicted so successfully
that there cannot be the least
doubt in their minds as to the
wicked falsity Of their claim.
The Inter-Ocean, with a COM
plete knowledge of the situation,
politely told these detractors of
thirteen reputable citizens, that
they were misrepresenting thir-
teen men, and treating them with
contempt-men against whom
not one disrepectful word could
be truthfully spoken. The un-
scrupulous methods of the RAM
sey county contingent of the in
surgents, quite surpasses any,
thing in the way of perfdy,
which we have met in political
life.
These malcontents not content
with misrepresentation about
the thirteen nominees of the re-
publican voters of Ramsey coun-
ty, lie about themselves. They
claim to have called a mass"
meeting-not fifty invitations
were sent out. They never an
nolnced that mass" meeting in
their own papers. Instead of
thirty, which we were formerly
willing to grant them, not one
dozen attended that mass"
meeting, and Boss Mccormick,
P. D. Norton and nondes-
cript petty-fogger or two, did all
the talking, writing and resolv-
ing. Will they contradict this?
Let them if they dare.
AS to the delegation of the re-
publican party, every man is a
reputable citizen, and a represen-
tative citizen. He is free to act
according to his judgement. No
pledge has been forced onshim.
There is no plot behind his nomi-
nation, and there attaches no
stigma to either their private or
public life.
These men are we'll known in
Ramsey county. They are placed
upon the ticket in answer to a
demand of the voters of their own
districts, and every man Of them
should be elected, if for no other
reason than to rebuke the insin-
cerity, hypocrisy and scandal
mongering of a few Office seek
ers who know that there is no
hope for their ambitions among
those who are familiar with their
petty rapacity and their monu-
mental arrogance.
We invite the most rigid in
spection of the misguided thir-
teen who have allowed their
names to be catalogued in such
political company. A few Of
them are good citizens. We re-
greet to find them in such comp
any. By their acceptance Of a
place on the insurgent ticket.
They are made to represent an
element Of discomfort and selfish
ness, only equalled in it's un-
consclonable methods by the UNI.
|saVory practices of the submerg-s
ed contingent in the forbidding
wards Of our largest cities.
This pestilential portion Of our
electorate has been too leniently
treated. 1t has become arrogant

The people of Baker City will be

known pioneers OF the county. He
was a graduate of the Corvallis, Ore,
college.
In 1880 Mr.. Payton was elected
county school superintendent and In
1896 he was elected assessor serving
two terms. In 1901 he was appointed
to fill out the unexpired term of Mr..
Privett as county school superintend-
ent and was elected two years ago to
that office. leaving two years OF his
present term unexpired.

Fire at Lewiston.

Fire at / o'clock this afternoon de-
stroyed the Louis Cherrier meat mar
.ket and the grocery store of Hinkie
& Brown, corner of Main and Ninth
streets. The loss is estimated be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, with $4,000
insurance.
The blaze started in the rear Of the
meat market, where Melvin Shiebe
had started a fire for the purpose OF
rendering lard. During his absence,
while waiting on customer, a kettle
oe lard near the stove caught fire and
in a few minutes the interior of the
room was a seething mass of flames

Must hive Either Paying or RaiIroad

Must Have Either Paving or Railroad
If the paving injunction suit is not
settled out of court, Mayor c. A. Johns
will appear as an attorney in the case
representing himself and other tax
payers in Baker city, and incidentally
the city itself, without cost to Baker.
That was the declaration made by
Mr.. Johns last evening at an adjourn
ed meeting of the city council.
Mr.. Johns continued stating the
position of the council on the pro-
posed compromise by which Baker
will have the Eagle Valley railroad,
but not street paving. Let there be
no misunderstanding" said the city
executive. 81 consider the Eagle VAL
ley railroad more important than any
Improvement proposed for Baker City
and / wouldn't do one thing to thwart
It. but not that nor any other enter
prise can be used as a cats paw to
fool this council so that in the end
we will wind up with neither i'm
provement."
And In endorsing the mayors sem
timents the council instructed John
L. Rand to compromise IL possible
but to do nothing that would lar n
fight to the end If the Eagle Valley
road did not materialize.-Baker City

NJ. e. Appointment for La Grande.

Word has reached this city that the
bishop of the Methodist conference
recently held at Weiser, Idaho, has
decided to return Rev. b. F. Meredith
to this city. Rev. Meredith was ex-
pected back this morning, but was de-
layed in some way. No report Of ap-
pointments has yet been received
here other than Mr.. Meredith's re-
turn is assured. He has only held
this charge a few months but even
In that brief time he won the admira-
ton and friendship of all those who
belong to his church as well as those
who have met him outside of the
church. The Methodist church Is
fortunate that he was allowed to re-
turn.-La Grande Observer.
