Il Marks the Grave Of an Admirer o.

In the Baptist graveyard at Can.

Revolutionary soldier named James
Sayres. A rude, unlettered sandstone
marks his grave, but a more conspicu.
GUS monument is large hickory tree
the trunk of which, three feet from
the ground, measures flfty-one and a
half inches In circumference.
JaKNes Sayres was an ardent adj.
mirer OF Andrew Jackson, so often
called "Old Hickory from the char.
acter OF being so unbending in any
cause which he believed to be right.
Mr.. Sayrss always wore spris OF
hickory on his breast on training
days., and before he died directed
that hickory tree be planted on his
grave. This was done, and after tho
tree attained proportions deemed I'M.
suitable to adorn grave il was dug
up. Another tree sprang from the
roots left In, and this Id time was alsn
dug up. -5ss-.
When third tree appeared, with d

nothing for the rest of the Democratic
ticket except incidentally. The head of
the ticket is the main reliance, because
another term of Democratic governor
will mean that all state institutions and
patronage will pass into the hands of
the Democrats, who have always keen
eye to the main chance. With control
of state institutions and patronage the
Democrats will have the nucleus of
an organization that will reach out for
something else.

Odd Discovery Made Under the Sands
of DelaWare Beech. S5 @
Claiming to have found icicIes that
have been preserved for over sixty
years, Harry e. Elliott is backed by
four companions who were with him
when the discovery was made. Over
sixty Years ago an old oilhouse, where
the fluid was kept for use in the Cape
Henlopen lighthouse, was suddenly
covered up by the shifting sands Of
Rehoboth Beach. No effort was made
to uncover 1t, and the sand remained
there until many had forgotten that
house had ever been on the spot.
Last week when Harry e. Elliott, a
well known merchant, and four other
companions were walking down the
beach near one Of the sand dunes they
noticed the peak Of a small house
showing forth and procuring shovels
started to dig the sand away, until
finally the door Of the little place APP
peared. Bursting open the door from
Its rusted hinges the men suddenly
plunged into a veritable icehouse and
| were astonished to find icicles hang
Ing from the roof. The ice was broken
off, but in few moments melted
away.
| Upon investigation it was found that
the old oilhouse Lad been covered up
for over sixty years and the icicles,
which were formed then, had kept in
the perfectly alright compartment un.
| til the men dug the sand away.

INDEPENDENT REPUBLICANS,

sieans (which the Democratic campaign-

There are ru111ors coming from cred
',table sources that the enforcement of
the law, of which we hear so much in
this campaign, does not extend very far
beyond the telling of it. Travellers re-
port that there are great territories
where the law is not any better en-
forced than it was two years ago and
TOUR years ago, if as well. Skeptics
who have heard political addresses be-
fore, assert brazenly that a good deal
OF this glittering generality about law
enforcement is for the stump, and not
much of it for practice. During the
campaign it seems to be the accepted
belief that votes must not be driven away
and that law enforcement can wait until
after election. Surely all these condi-
tons must be known to the officials
whose duties lie in the enforcement OF
the laws. Can it be that our friends the
Democrats appreciate the unwisdom Of
stirring up trouble when election is Sc
close?

CAMPAIGN THUNDER Exploded


In his address at Grand Forks, a
the opening of the Republican cam
paign, Hon. C. A. Johnson explode,
some of the Democratic campaig,
thunder with regard to railroad assess
ment when he said:
Two years ago. John Burke tray
eled over this state making the
broad and liberal statement that the
railroads were not assessed high
enough nor in proportion to the /
assessment of other properties, and
that if elected he would see that
/ it was made all right. What did he
do at the meeting of the board of
equalization in 1907? When the
board met at Bismarck he was
chairman, there being four other
members. A motion was made that
the railway assessments for 1907
be allowed to remain the same as
for 1906. AS chairman Of the
board Governor Burke put the
motion, there being four votes in =.
the affirmative, the governor not !
voting. He said, however, that
the railways had their attorneys
there, but that there was no one
present representing the people.
Where was your governor all this
time? That is question for you
to answer. I am taxpayer in
North Dakota and have been for
number of years, and believe
that my property should bear its
just burden of taxation I believe !,
that your property should also be
taxed its just share; that all prop
critics whether owned by a corpor- Z
alton or by an individual, should
be assessed on the same basis.

Evidently the law for the summary
removal of executive off .srs MOI suo-
Ject to impeachment" did not strike a
popular chord in the state1t least we
have not heard much Of it in the CAM

state and the peoo,s who claim :fe
right to elect thci:- own officials do not
take very kindly to t1e Democratic plan
tor investing the governor with power
to remove them outright, without APP
peal for reasons whlcfs seem good to
the governor alone. The people dc not
