The Browns Valley Tribune
alleges, editorially, that the
travelling men have begun to
pound" Jacobson, and draws
the conclusion that all the big
interests "are behind johnson
and opposed to Jacobson. Looks
as though Bro. Gordon was not
quite fair in his inference. The
alienation of the travelling men
was caused, as Bro. Gordon very
well knows, by an unfortunate
utterance of the republican can
didate for governor during the
1904 campaign. They voted
solidly for johnson then and
have been his friends ever since,
believing him to be worthy of
their trust.

COUNTY MATTERS

Denmark when the conduct OF
the affairs of Stearns county is
considered. The commissioners
have been open to criticism for
some time. Their action in
awarding the contract for
official printing for 1908 to a
political organ "for services
rendered. was a disgrace and
the public has not forgotten it.
The wide publicity given this
scandal by The Herald and the
other county newspapers who
offered a larger circulation and
better service at less cost, has
caused two members of the board
to stay out of the race this year,
while the remaining trio look
forward with fear and trembling
to 1910 when their day of reck-
oning will surely come.
Nor is the auditors Office
above suspicion. The official
proceedings of the board omitted
certain details relative to that
transaction that should have
been inserted. The record was
so skilfully worded as to give a
wrong impression to the voters.
All that was told was the truth,
but not all the truth was told.
"A half truth is worse than a
lie", and that's what's the mat
ter with the auditors record Of
the proceedings of the commits
sioners' proceedings awarding
the county printing contract for
1908.
Does any sane person suppose
for a moment that the omission
of the name of the commissioner
who made the motion to award the
printing contract, and the name of
the commissioner who seconded
the motion, or the omission of
the names of six of the papers
which were included in the print
ing bid which was rejected
does any one suppose that these
omissions were accidental? This
incomplete report favors the
commissioners; it helps them
square themselves with the
public.
To show that the auditor can
give a full report, including
names of commissioners making
and seconding motions, The
Herald calls attention to a re-
print in this issue of the official
report of a recent meeting of the
board-the one concerning which
Commissioner J. II. Garfield of
Sauk Centre declined to talk, as
[related in last weeks issue.
Why omit names in one case and
use them in another? The
auditor gives this official re-
port a, and yet in the same breath,
in a newspaper interview, de-
clares this same meeting illegal.
Here's good opportunity for
the auditor to square himself
with himself. ....
Again, Mr.. Crever admits that
he owns stock in Der Nordstern,
the political ha If brother of the
Times. The Times gets the
official printing contract in face
of a better offer from other
papers, while the contract to
furnish the county officials with
stationery is Jumped off
to Der Nordstern, while
the quality of stock furnished
the county is not such as any
self-respecting business man
would use. And Mr.. Crever,
being interested financially in
| Der Nordstern, profits in pocket
by the transaction.
Mr.. Crever, personally, is a
gentleman, "a companionable
fellow, a good ''jollier" and The
Herald likes him. Mr.. Crever,
in his official capacity, owing to
his close relation with the Times,
Der Nordstern and the political
ring which controls Stearns
county, occupies an embarrassing
position and does not appear to

Next Sessions Teaching
Corps.

Since publication Of the list Of teach
ers for the coming session, a few chan
ges and some additions have been made
The changes have been due in the main
to the failure Of some Of the appointees

Some OF These appointments as we'll az

Oh the August examination. The facuI.
ties at st. Martinrille and Breaux Bridge
have been increased it will be noted, by
the employment OF Mira. Jos. GrsyemLere
aud Miss Amelis OLIVIER for the coming
session to teach the French classes. The

Injustice To Tax Payers.
OBSERVER.

The Drainage Board at its last meet
ing, rescinded the action it had taken at
its previous meeting and deliberately
refused tG proceed with the work former
ly mapped out for the lands adjacent to
Grand Marais, on the ground that the
funds were insufficient to do the work,
and the canal could not be completed in
time for the next crop.
The estimated cost for the main canal
made by the engineers when the LIST tax
was presented to the people was $4,000
the amount for which bonds where to be
issued. This estimate was based on q
contract price Of 10 and % cts per cubic
yard.
The second election raised the sum to
$56, 900 dollars and a bond issue OF $685.
OOO or SIS 600 more than the LIT tax.
The boat il now doing work at a cost OF
"a to 3 cts per cubic yard.
The engineers making liberal esti-
mate. claim that Ivy working during the
LAY only, the work can be accomplished
in $50 days. il night crew is worked it
reasonably follows that the work can he
done In l25 days. II the canal is com.
pleted in nine months it would b. 10
ample time for the next crop.
1t can readily be- seen that time and
money are not In the way.
The engineers claim that at a reason.
able estimate large sum Of money will
be left over. Why not then make good
to the people who pay the tax.
Grand Msrais to be properly drained
should have canal its whole length.
Lady OF the Lake, Keystone and other
land OWNERS should have Bayou TOrtue
connected with the canal. The people
Of 81. Martinville paying 5000 of taxes
would be benefit by roads through Grand
Marais for the fari'ity Of traffic. The
health Of the town would be benefited
and thousands Of fertile acres would in
Crease the trade of town.
The board in taking this course is do.
ing al injustice to the Taxpayers Of st.
Martinville and the Grand Marais Sec
lion. who pay half of the total tax and
will if they carry on their plan get the
measly appropriation Of $4,000 while
more than $4,000 will be left over.

Observer Makes Correction.

To the Editor of the Messenger:
In a communication addressed
to the Messenger dated Aug. 20,
1908, and signed "Observer" there
appeared the following statement
viz: 1T is also said with what
truth the writer does not know,
that some of the teachers examin-
tons held in this parish have been
more or less of a farce and that
some who had not passed them
had been appointed to teacher
ships in schools while others who
had passed them had been left
without employment" We did
not vouch for the truth of that
statement and said 80 in the CON-
mencement of it; but lest it be
considered prejudicial, or often
sive to the School Board, we here
by withdraw it, as if it had not
been written.
