DR.. euNsAuLus ON
THE LID QUESTION.

DR.. GUNSAULuS ON
THE LID QUESTION:
CHICAGO, Jan. sO.-one, of the most
prominent devines and thinkers Of
this country is Rev. DR.. F. W. Gun,
saulus, of this, city. Dr., Gunsaulusi has
stepped aside from theological and
metaphysical pursuit long enough to
devote few moments to discussion
of the lid and what he has to say
about 1t is not very flatterfng. It
shows that we as people are only
about half baked, and that we do not
know what we want The real truth
Is that II each and every one of us
would give attention to ourselves
which our private business requires,
we would not have the time to give
to other peoples affairs which do not
need our assistance apd sympathy.
The longer we live the more we are
convinced that our own business needs
our attention more than that OF our
neighbors.
Rev. DR.. Gunsau1us. who Is not &C.
cused of having any one do his think
ing for him, declares. against the alb.
surd idea Of the "lid." The lid never
did appeal to anybody who did his
own thinking or who was accused
of having any sense. wherever 1t
has been tried 1T has been failure.
For while. it is true, the lid works,
but the longer 1t works the more dis.
gust is created in the community The
gust is creates in the community. The
lid was always put or. for the lame,
the halt and the blind, but for the.
balance of the population 1t has been
a bowling fraud and farce. and laugh
ed at by all. OF all the lids that were
said to have been clamped on the past
Elk months, where are any of them
now They merely represent local
hysteria, and when the fever had abat-
ed and people returned to reason and
common sense the lid went the way of
all nonsense. If there is to be lid
at all, there must be public sentiment
and education behind 1t, and not an
obscure little politician who happens
for a brief time to enjoy the title Of
mayor or some other small Office
which temporarily brings him into the,
limelight.

aasiy HE reverse OF the qualifications

The want of uniformity and GER
sainty in the decisions of facts is not
attributable wholly to the qualifica-
lions d the jury but is manifestly the
Eesatt OF the system, since every sys
Ssin must be judged by Its results.
VIXEN we come to analyze and sum
M me results Of the present system
Il ire tury trial in civil cases, we are
forced 10 the conclusion that it is In
atiequate and has in 1t certain imper-
fectfous and discrepancies which must
ALTERNATELY result in its abolition.
what good features this present sys.
lem abss possess are counterbalancel
hi rs rudeness, incompleteness and
tundousnt defects.
The trial by Jury is so deeply rooted
and entrenchedsin the popular venera-
lion mat it is not likely to be abolish
Cd or essentially modllied IN our uiiS'
Bit as it seems there are certain fea-
tnres which greatly commend them
selves 10 popular favor.
There is no profession possessed OF
gregter general experience than the
Iegal profession; their minds are
Sharpened and enlarged by the extent
b Their learning, but the jury system
refuses Co commit the administration

elnsiyeIy entrusted to the legal pro-
geFsion.
The question which confronts US Is
nov to eliminate tho evils and imper-
SECTIONS Of the old system and pre-.
erye the benefits of, the trial by jury.

COMMUNICATION.

To the Voters of Cavalier County:
Now this is not a biased or prejudlclal
TRADE on some candidate for political
preferment. Neither is it an etfusion of
language for the purpose OF laudlng
some favorite son-of-a-gun.
But it is a few words to the voters OF
Cavalier county in regard to raising
the balance of the money necessary for
the site for the Sub Experimental
Station which has been located at Lang
don. You will see by notice in the
newspapers that the board of county
commissioners have authorized the
question to be submitted to the electors
at the primary election to be held on
Wednesday, June Oath next.
Langdon has already subscribed
$4,000. The balance necessary for the
purchase of site would be about $500,
which if the vote carries would cost the
owner of each quarter section of land
about 30 cents, which would be a very
small sum for each tax payer in the
county, Langdon also having to pay her
share.
Every voter in Cavalier county is
aware that experiments with clover and
various kinds of grasses are necessary.
Also rotation of crops and cultivation of
soil, all of which would necessarily be
expensive for farmers to maintain with
out some authorized system to go by.
To furnish the site is all the county is
asked to do. The state has appropriated
$4,000 for the erection of buildings ETC.,
and will maintain it in future. The
federal government also a%ppropriates
money for the carrying on ofsuch work in
this state. | think the farmers and
business men would be acting very
unwisely. when the best interests of the
county are considered, should they not
vote yes on this proposition.
AS already stated it would not cost
each taxpayer much and it is an OPP
p~ortunity if passed up that will in all
probability never be presented again. 1t
cost the author of the bill and also the
other members from this county con-
siderable anxiety and trouble tt secure
the passage of this measure through the
legislature. So it seems to me it would
be ignominious for Cavalier county to
go back on the proposition now.
Sincerely Yours,
HENRY MCLEAN.

printed on the ballot to be voted at the
primary election. Sheriff Peter Reid,
whose republican principals differ from
those of Mr.. Helgesen to the extent that
he is classed as a stalwart, is one of a
bunch eleven in the race for place on
the board of railroad commissioners.
With either one its a long shot specula-
ton how they will fare at the primaries
while the final outcome at the polls in
November is too remote to even venture
a guess on. If the republican ticket is
elected then one or the other, but not
both of them may be it-that is if he is
picked as a favorite out of the big field
of entries at the primary election on
the oath.
Hon. C. A. johnson, of Minot, one of
the republican candidates for governor
spent a couple of hours in L%angdon on
Monday between trains. In converse
ton at the depot he stated that he is
not making many speeches, but has
covered a whole lot of ground in travel
ling over the state and finds the crop
prospect the best at this time in the
history of the state. He was introduced
by the boys around town as Governor
johnson, and Mr.. johnson, "the next
governor of North Dakota" This, in
face of the fact that there is man hold
ing down the office just now with whom
the people of the state are quite we'll
satisfied, would make it look pretty much
as if Mr.. Johnson, ":the dead one'
would be more in order. The gentle.
man from Minot may or may not be the
republican nominee for governor at the
primary election: but "the next governor
| of North Dakota" will be Governor John
Burke.
