Mrs. Isabella Bnrley is ar old resident
Of Pembina County. She has been a
successful teacher here for many years
in different towns. She is woman of
fine presence, mature in judgement a
college and normal graduate, and ex-
perienced in the work that will come
before her in the Office of County Super
intendent of schools. Besides she is the
Republican candidate. One of the qua
lifcations required by law is certain
amount of experience. Compare the
records in the case of the two candidates
and the balance favors Mrs. Burley.
Nearly every objection that is made
against woman candidate for this Office
applies with most force against the
younger and less experianced woman.

be best for the cause Of education. That

In voting for members of the legisla-
ture the party cuts more figure than
many people think. The Democratic
party are certain to be in minority in
the legislature. If you send Democra-
tic representative he can only do effective
work by the permission of the Republi-
can majority He is therefore tied up
to the fence. He can get nothing with
out promising something to the majority.
Otherwise he may as we'll be at home.

remedy is very, very simple. OF course
Mr.. Hired Man has just found out this
heinous sin, but now that he knows it
and has informed his democratic neigh
bors and friends, like good honest people
that they are, they will walk upin pious
procession to the county treasurer's Office
this fall and pay in their honest dues
over and above what they have been
assessed. Won't it been a sight to see?
AS this thing has been going on eight or
ten years, and according to the Hired
Man, we ought to have been assessed
higher per acre (say 50. and the taxes

business to go to Bismarck and recon-
mend the raising of farm values in Penn
bina county. Say, Mr.. Farmer, if he
had, would you ever vote for him for
senator again? Inferentlally that is
what Mr.McMurray would do according
to the Hired Man. That seems to be one
of the great differences between the

fore quite evident that Mr.. McMurray
has "busineas interests" at Cavalier
and consequently would not have "busi.
ness interests" at Pembina-in case of
legislative action affecting the special
interests between the two cities.
Two years ago Cavalier attempted to
get some special county seat legislation
through the legislature but was blocked
by Senator LaMoure and the balance
OF the first district representatives. In
q spirit of revenge for this action. and
despairing of getting anything of that
sort from the legislature under the
present circumstances, the genius of the
Cavalier Democracy conceived the brilli.
ant thought of electing Cavalier
business man" in the place of Mr.. La.
Moure and thereby kill two birds with
one stone. If he could only get the
people of the first district to vote for a
man who could legislate and assist in
moving the county seat from the first
district to the second district that would
certainly be masterful stroke. Hence
the buying of the Chronotype.
Another queer feature of the deal is
the fact that the Democratic party of
this county already had an excellent
newspaper on hand. and therefore had
no need of buying another. Why did
they not use the Pink Paper for the La
Moure onslaught? This query may be
answered perhaps in different ways by
different people, but our answer is that
we believe editor Wilson declined to
allow his paper to be made into COM
mon sewer, just to assist the ambitions
and Vaccinations of one man, who as
sumes to be the dictator of the Demo-
cratic party of Pembina county.

just one matter more. 1t is evident
it was somewhat of a poser for the Hired
Man to deal with. Here is the case of a
man whom the county commissioners
have sent before the state equalization
board at Bismarck to represent the in
terests of Pembina county in the matter
of taxation for several years. This un-
til lately in this county has been a demo-
cratic board). Now the records show
that the farm lands of this county are
not SO high as most other Valley coun-
ties-and there are good reasons for it
too. But Mr.. Hired Man wondered what
he would do with this fact-and at last
evolves the wonderful proposition that
Mr.. LaMoure was not only dishonest
himself, but had caused all the farmers
of Pembina county to also become dis
honest, because he had somehow hypno-
tized and overawed the state board and
bulldozed them into lowering the taxes
of this county at the expense of all other
counties in the state. (By the way that
is another tribute, though unintended,
to the ability of Mr.. LaMoure).

ter idea of the characters represented
than the mere perusal Of the headings
Of legislative bills as to their actual
characters. Some one in the Neche
Chronotype Of the week has made q
compilation of the salient features Of
the legislative record Of Hon. Judson
LaMoure Of the first legislative district"
TITLES DON'T TELL.
These "salient features consist wholly
of the titles Of certain bills in brief, and
the lengthy conclusions, slnrs and mis-
representations, and other remarks Of
the author, who is evidently some man
hired by the syndicate of Cavalier and
Walhalla democrats to write up the
stuff.
As we said, the title of bill and the
bill itself may be, and are, often very
different things. Even though the title
and the subject natter agree in idea, yet
every legislature sees the burial of hun
dreds Of bills, because by their terms
they are foolish, impractlcable or uncon-
stitutional, even though the general
ideas underlying each may be all right.
Anyway. no one can judge whether the
vote on a certain bill is right or wrong
simply by reading the title. In the legis-
lature such bills are usually lost in the
committees to which they are referred,
and that is what such committees are
for.
MANY MADE ONE.
Again, at almost every session there
are often several bills introduced cover.
ing about the same ground on the same
subject. At the last session there were
many, "a half dozen at least-prlmary law
bills. In such case the original bills
are often consolidated or one selected by
the committees to which they are re-
ferred, and the balance then, as the
Chronotype man says, ''are never seen
again."
KILLED $50 RAILROAD BILLS.
The Chronotype writer makes an
especial catalogue of the titles of bills
concerning railroads. From his half re-
cords and whole lies he would persuade
the reader that Mr.. LaMoure has voted
against every railroad bill that was ever
introduced into the legislature. Now we
have not sufficient data on hand to get
the total number Of railroad bills of
various sorts that have been introduced
into the legislature during nineteen
years of statehood. But from some that
we have at hand, we think that most
every other man who has served in the
legislature has in proportion to his time
of service, also voted against, been alb
sent,or squelched in committee about as
many railroads bills as has Mr.LaMoure
From the Journal of the last session
19O7-we find that in that legislature
alone there were q such bills introduced
in the senate, and "a in the house. OF
the "a house bills only IA ever got out
Of the house and were presented to the
senate. That is, the house Of which Mr..
LaMoure was not aemember, killed 20
out Of "a bills without his assistance.

The why and wherefore of the trans.
fer of the Chronotype to certain Cava.
lier and Walhalla parties begins to show
up. "By their fruits ye eshall know them. -
So far the Democratic party, as a party,
has received no special support Nearly
all the local candidates are also practical
ly ignored. To Judge by the last two
issues it would seem that the sole object
of the transfer Temporary or permanent
as the case may be), was almost solely
for the defeat of Mr.. LaMoure for the
senate. 1t also certain in this line that
large number of democrats are not in
it, and that only the managers of the
party headquarters at Cavalier and a
few others we're concerned in the pres
ent ownership or lease, as the case may
be.
This leads to many pertinent inquiries.
Why this extreme anxiety to defeat Mr..
LaMoure? -Four years ago the Demo-
t.
Moure the honor of unanimous
election-why this change of sentiment?
What has Mr.. LaMoure done in that
time to SO displease the Democsats of
the first district? We venture the as
sertion that he has done nothing, and
that furthermore, the Democrats of the
first district If let alone would not have
put candidate in the field this year
either. The pressure for this nomination
came from the Democratic headquarters
at Cavalier. Mr.. McMurray is described
and truthfblly so in his biography print
ed in the Chronotype as follows-'This
candidate is Arther d. Murray, of the
firm of McMurray Bros, hardware men
of Walhalla and Cavalier" 1t is there

A SUICIDE
EVIDENCE N THAT DIRECTION
Is RONING-CHIEF OF PO-
BEFORE DISAPPEARANCE.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 3.-The be-
lief is growing that Chief of Police
Biggy chose death as the means of
relief from troubles which he be-
lieved pending and to partially es-
cape from which il is now known he
had determined TO resign from the
Office he held. 1t is known that he
was in an extremely nervous state
on the night of his mysterious disap-
pearance and the conviction increases
that he deliberately threw himself
from the police boat into the waters
of the bay on the return trip to this
city. Though there has been con-
finuons search maintained for the
hody. no trace has yet been found.
That Chief Biggy offered his resig-
nation to Police Commissioner Hugo
ID. Keil. an hour before his death.
and during the period of his visit
TO the commissioner home at Belye-
dere, became known today. Keil ad-
mits that the missing official offered
10 surrender his position in the hope
| that the commissioners would be re-
| lieyed of newspaper criticism to
which Biggy felt they had been sub
| jected on his account but Keii, ac-
eordng TO his own declaration, re-
/ fused to accept or consider the pro-
posal. The fact that Biggy had in
sisted upon presentation of his resig-
nation at the next meeting of the
board became known through writ
ten statement directed to Mayor Tay-
lor by Commissioner Keil.

ON SATURDAY
SHELTER PROBABLY ON MON
DAY-TOTAL OF PAY ROLL
DISTRIBUTED WILL PROBABLY
EXCEED PREVIOUS MONTH.

Announcement was made yester-
day that the Nevada Consolidated
and the Cumberland Ely mining COM
panies would pay OFF at the mines
on Saturday, all arrangements to this
end having been completed.
Accordingly the pay checks will go
around Saturday afternoon at the
mines and Sunday and Monday will
bring many of them into the trade
channels of the city.
1t is not yet known whether Satur-
day or Monday will be pay day at
the Smelter, but 1t is probable that
the books will not be closed and the
checks ready for distribution before
Monday. 1t is understood that the
total paid out for labor by the Cum
berland Ely and Nevada Consolidat-
ed at the mines and by the Steptoe
Smelling & Mining, owned. by the
mining companies, at Smelter, will
be something like $4,000 in excess
of the total amount paid out for
work in the preceding month. This
showing is big when 1t is considered
that a weeks work was lost during
the month at Copper Flat.

PEKIN. Dec. 3.-An edict of am

tomorrow. 1t approves the program

The matter OF amnesty is treated
in 20 separate articles. Conventional
awards, etc.. for long years of SER
vice the promised. but amnesty for
the ten original crimes is denied. To
this list is added a seventh crime,
namely the harboring of rebels. The
insertion of this clause evidently is a
result of political conditions. Re-
formers previously banished from the
empire will not benefit by the new
decree.
