indeed! Who is responsible
for the loss of confidence now7
Who is responsible for the
stagnation which now afflicts
the country? Under whose
regime do we now witness ruin
on every hand? Under whose
administration do we find the
blight of panic on the coun-
try? Under whose admisistra-

lized and the mines and mills
closed and labor in idleness7
Doesn't it occur to you that it is

SCHOOL EXHIBITS WANTED.
The Richland County Fair
comes next week. We should
have an exhibit of sch 3ol work
larger and finer than even the
splendid exhibits of the last
two years. Will every teacher
and pupil look up specimens
of school work which would
add to the exhibit. Bring in
your pet domestic animals.
Perhaps some of the girls can
make good bread or cookies, or
do fancy stitching. There is a
place to exhibit such work and
there are prizes for some of the
best of this material. Send or
bring it in.
The pupils who have been
growing prize corn will please
be sure to have it here for this
exhibit. We want your best
ten ears grown from the seed
distributed last spring. Come
and see the school exhibit and
the other many attractions of
the Fair.

CHEAP CLAP-TRAP.

The republican press, chiefly
that faction which is opposed
to clean politics, and in har-
mony with corrupt gang rule,
has taken a shot at Governor
, Burk, again using the railroad
commission as it's tool. Oddly
enough they have given the
democrats the credit for get
ting the commission to take
in the rate question for North
. Dakota and are 'sore" because
the republicans have not been
wise enough to boggle onto
some of the credit for the act
ion. And now they are kick
ing themselves and Governor
Burk because action has taken.
Nice patriotism!
Now that the railroad COM
mission has held its special
meeting in Fargo and started
action to get the rates lowered,
or to allow them to stand as
their action may result, the
North Dakota republican press
belches forth huge gobs of
ridicule because the governor
called the special session; be-
cause the meeting was held at
fargo with a number of demo-
Gratis present, and because it
looks as if some democratic
leader is to be given credit for
the outcome if any is to take
place.
"Governor Burk did not call
the special session." they say,
'the commission met merely
because they wanted to, it
seems. The chairman of the
commission is the man to
whom all praise must 20. In
fact they say. "Governor Burke
has no power over the commis-
sion, except to call a special
session"
OF course, that is no power.
Should the governor call an
officer to account. he has no
power over that officer, but it
is wealth of influence, that
many of the gang rulers are
yelping for and crying for and
making every effort to get.
And that they have not got it
now, is making them so dis
comforted that they are adopt
