Supt. Warren, of the Ward
county schools is doing some tall
hustling in getting the annual
report before the people of the
county, the report having al
ready been published in about 20
of the county papers with a
score more to hear from, and it
is good information too.
The Bismarck Daily Tribune,
heretofore an evening paper, has
changed to a morning publ
cation and has added the tele-

that territory hence the discon-
Ftinuance will not work a hard
ship on the people but will give
them a much better service in
the future.

sew up the feshy part Of the
arm.
Ed. Ferriss, Logan county

AN ILLUSTRATION.

Some one has asked for an illustra-
ton of the logic, the reason and the Ian
guage of 'an organ
In reply we append this from the
Richland Beacon:
1--WE are willing to admit that Gen
eral Jastremski and Mr.. Sanders stood
practically for the same measures, II
fact, had almost identical views on many
important questions; while Colonel Will
kinson is Numerically opposed to sew,
eral important issues advocated by Gen
eral Jastremski SO strcnuously during
two State campaigns
Comment;
In the first Of the ''two State cam
paigns" Mr.. Wilkinson, as citizen, can
vassed the State in General Jastremski'
behalf.
In that campaign Mr.. Sanders oppose,
in toto General Jastremski's candidacy
and policies!
In the pending campaign Mr.. Wilkln
son and General Jastremski represented
| the same elements in Louisiana politics
The mass Of men supporting one woult
support the other for the reason that IL

they stood together
Deduction:

1T would seem that in the broadcast

Miss Sophie Wright's letter to J. y.
Sanders, that it is but common fairness
Tor him to take the public into his con-
idencc by informing it that this good
lady is his coursin and also under po-
litical obligations to him.
when Mr.. Sanders was i'll the Lcgis-
laturc he proposed i'll 1892 House Bill
No. 324 comforting on the Home Insti-
tutc OF New Orleans. OF which Miss
Wright is principal and proprietor, the
right to grant degrees and diplomas.
This bill failed Of passage.
In 1904 he proposed by House Bill
No. ~ a siIimar law, which he Sue
cceded in having passed and which IS
one Of the Acts OF 1904.
"Perhaps no act OF his life is more
worthy than this, and vet in this regard
he evidently does good by stealth and
will blush to call it fame An entirely
mertorious act for 4 dear cousin, 1t IS
one which will be fully appreciated by
