ATTORNEYS AT LAW,

June g., 1908.
EDITOR OF DICKINSON PRESS, ;.
Dickinson, N. D.
Dear Sir: Our attention has been
called to the fact that at a meeting of
citizens of Mercer county Mr.. w. c.
Crawford who is a candidate for District
Judge in the new district, was severely
censured for his connection with the liti-
cation over the nine townships.
lp Justice to Mr.. Crawford, we desire
to state through the columns of your pa
per that this litigation was conducted by
us entirely. Mr.. Crawford had no con-
nection with it, either directly or indi-
rectly. Our firm prosecuted the pro-
~ceedings in the Supreme Court, and we
are also prosecuting the pending action
in the district court. The connection of
Mr.. Crawford's name with this litigation
is a gross error and this correction is
made in justice to him.
Respectfully,
BALL, WATSON, YOUNG & HARDY.

The features of the game were the rum

Hughes. Sturgeon covered his field in
his usual good style and nothing got by
Howell at the first corner.
There will be a good game Sunday
afternoon between the locals and the
team from Mandan. This will be an
expensive game and it is hoped that the
attendance will be larger than at the last
game. The price of admission will be
IS cents, as usual. You can't help the
boys unless you come to the game and
pay your share. Have your change
ready when the collector comes around.
He has his troubles but it is his duty to
collect from everybody. AS soon as pos
sible the management will have a ball
ground.with a good fence aroundit then
it will be necessary for everyone to pay
his money before seeing any part of the
game. Most of the boys are "good pay
but there were quite a few last Sunday,
who failed to decorate their hat bands
with the card, "I've paid for mine."
On July 4th the locals expect to 60 to

STATE NOTES.

One could readily imagine from
the tone of the Nevada state press
that a party named Skaggs who was
sent to the Nevada legislature from
Elko county in that state, and who
rose to the dignity of speaker of the
assembly. had failed to please his
constituents and the state at large,
Mr.. Skaggs made the mistake of his
life when he accused the press of
Nevada of having been subsidized by
the Mine Owners association of
Goldfield. This accusation is SO fool
lsh on the face of it that no one took
him seriously, unless 1t were the
newspapers of Nevada, which almost
without exception have roasted
Mr.. Skaggs numerically. IL Is safe
to say that Mr.. Skaggs can hereafter
expect little support from the pa
pers of the state. The fact is. the
thinking men of Nevada, those who
have something at stake-something
to lose-beleve that law and order
must reign supreme in Nevada, no
matter what the Western Federation
of Miners or any other labor orga-
nization may think about it.-Ameri-
can Mining Review.

When he arrived at Searchlight and

place to even purchase wood. Mr..

of the books.
He found 10 funds in the bank

find bag containing jewelry hut

BILLS THAT DIDN'T PASS.

Their are some very substantial
"junks" OF food for thought in some
of the after dinner deliverances by
the Honorable II T. Bannon, repre-
sentative in congress from the Tenth
Ohio district He was addressing the
Business Mems association of Water
bury. Conn, and took occasion to
say that the Roosevelt system of 60
ing out to prosecute bad corpora
lions and wealthy malefactors' was
like hunting bears with brass band
1t not only frightens off the bears
but everything else within earshot.
To this plan of pursuit of the
trusts" he attributed in chief meas
ure the financial and commercial dis
turbances of recent months, drawing
several contrasts between present
conditions and those of a 12-month
back among them, this;
"A year ago shippers we're COM
planning of the shortage of cars, and
demands were made that the rail-
roads buy thousands of cars, hun
dreds of locomotives and build thou
sands of miles of double tracks. To-
day thousands of cars and hundreds
of locomotives stand idle"
Yes-and year ago, too. every
demagogue in congress or in a state
legislature was shouting for the en-
actment of laws to compel the rail
road companies to provide cars ON
mileage or a population or some
other equally absurd basis-to COM
pei them to do business under hard
and fast provisions of statute law in
stead of under the law of supply and
demand, For weren't they all wick
eddy overcapitalized and fairly burst
ing with money wrongfully wrung
from the peoples pockets? And were
they not all abusing the special char
t ter privileges that the poor and hon
est but misguided people had grant
ed them? md every last socialist
and popuist and "reformer at
large was applauding every yellow
that had any display type left or
could raise the price of keg of red
ink was lionizing these would-be law
makers. and even the pulpit was do
ling out little doses of the poison.
Now. suppose congress and the legis-
latures had adopted these hysterical
propositions-and the things did get
respectful hearing would a day
pass about this time without record
ing a railroad receiyership?
