The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1908-10-29

AS a rule we have ignored state
from other towns in this County
Seat contest. But the circular letter
sent out by Finley under date of Oct.
26th 1908 is so unreasonable and so
far from facts that we feel justified in
showing up a few of its statements.
It says that it would be un-constitu-
tional to raise q fund in advance. This
was done in Trail county and they had,
the money on hand to build their Court
House when it was finished, levied dur
ing six years.
AS to the statement that Hope agreed
that they would give nc bonus, will
say that four or five business men got
together with some Finley people at
Sherbrooke and some on both sides
expressed the opinion that they did
not believe in giving a bonus, but
spoke only for themselves individu-
ally. When the matter vas %canvassed
it was found that the general sentiment
of Hope City and the farmers of the
south half of the county a in favor
of making some inducements. In fact
Taxpayers from every part of the
county urged this, and said that they
would not vote to mov from Sher-
brooke unless they could have a few
years to raise a building fund and
that Hope felt the county seat was
worth something to them.
AS to notifying Finley at the
eleventh hour" regarding the Bonus,
we notified them on the very first day
we decided to make the offer, and they
have had the same opportunity to
raise the money that we did, but have
not seer fit to make it an object to
the Taxpayers to move to Finley
They had the chance but do not ap'
pear to have the disposition to loosen
up.
They go on to say that ''Hope has
an AK to grind, and you Mr.. Voter
will turn the grind stone." Now let's
just figure this over. The farmers
tributary to Hope are just as en-
thusiastic, and donated as freel,
to this fund as did Hope citizens.

An Open Letter To
Voters of Steele co.

With the amount necessary to build
vaults and fix over the building into
offices, and pay five years rental, it is
going to take S15, 100000 out of the
farmers and business men of Hope
and the south end of the county. Now
On top of this, these same men will
have to pay their share of any tax
that may be levied, and will have to
pay just as much as a resident of
Finley or any other part of the county.
Don't this look like we were willing
to do our share in turning the grind
stone"
We don't want the voters to be
''under obligations or to sell their
Everlasting rights to the Citizens of
Hope" We haven't the slightest
power to say whether we ever build a
Court House or not, and it is an in
suit to the intelligence of the residents
of the county to think they can be
scared with any such threat as this,
and we r perfectly willing to let the
people judge of our qualifications and
compare u campaign methods and
render their own judgement.
But bear this in mind, the actual
money is in the hands of the County
Auditor; so it doesn't need a bond to
assure the Taxpayers of this, and we
publish elsewhere the Auditors re-
ceipt. Also bear in mind that we have
given a bond to make good agree
ment to furnish the county with a
building for five years.
It's very easy to find fault with the
other fellow, but we feel that the county
seat ought to be moved, and if We turn
it down this time it means Ten Years
More; we r willing to make some
sacrifice in order to see this accom-
plished and all Finley seems inclined
to do is to stand off and talk about it
being Unconstitutional" and warn
ing the voters not to. 'sell out'' and a
lot of such shot air.. We are will
ing to stand up for comparison and
every word We have published is true
and every agreement we have entered
into is "As Good AS Cold"

Origin Of These Two Customs Of the
Playhouse.
Kissing In playhouses had its origin
In Paris in 1850 on the occasion OF the
presentation Of FontenelIe's tragedy,
"Aspar," Prior to that time suffering
audiences were wont to yawn audibly
and fall asleep when the apathy OF the
actors and performances justified that
course. But on this occasion the lndig-
nant audience. driven to desperation
by the platitudes Of Aspar. voiced their
anger by Kisses. which drove the ac-
tors into temporary retirement. accord
ing 10 the testimony Of the poet Rol.
who alludes to the incident in his
"Breyet de Ia Calotte" Kissing there
after became fashionable.
The flrst encore noted in the annals
OF the stage was accorded to LlyinH
Andronicus. Roman actor. He was
popular with the masses and was
called back 90 often to repeat hts
speeches that he In self defense
brought boy to declaim Cor him while
be himself applied the gestures. While
encores became the rage In subsequent
ages. It Is known that Andronicus' plan

cent Democratic convention In Ohio.
The Hon. Judson Harmon has been
nominated for Governor ottheS State,
while Mr.. Bryan's candidacy for the
Democratic nomination for President

always been regarded as occupying
