Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1909-02-11

The following excerpts are taken
from an article from the pen OF en-
Governor Devine whose experience III
educational matters gives to his utter
ances and recommendations great force.
Mr.. Devine believes that there is the
greatest necessity for another normal
school at once, at Minot, and agrees
with the recommendations of Supt.
Stockwell that in the immediate future
another normal school should be To-
Gated on the Missouri Slope to accom-
modate the great region extending from
Bismarck in every direction and COM
prising third of the states area. Mr..
Devine Says:
North Dakota is pre-eminently pro-
gressive state, and in no way is this
more definitely indicated than in the ex-
cellence of our system of common
schools and higher institutions Of
learning.
The wealth of this state is not in its

PRODUCED into the life of this state must
first be introduced into its schools in
order to accosamplish any great and
permanent progress. It is not, how:
ever, sufficient to have good educa-.
tiollal institutions, but there must be

consideration, namely, the ease with
which the youth of our state can get

of money and time. With this fact ac-

AN INJUNCTION

OFFICERS RESTRAINED FROM
REMOVING TO ALEXANDER ON
MARCH 3 ADVOCATES OF ALEX
AMBER MUST SHOW CAUSE
WHY THE INJUNCTION SHOULD
NOT BE MADE PERMANENT.
Judge Crawford of Dickinson, has is.
sued a temporary injunction restrain
ing the commissioners. auditor, Judge,
register of deeds, treasurer and sher-
if from removing offices and records
from Schafer to Alexander, recently
designated as the county seat of Nc
Kenzie county by the board of county
commissioners. The court fixed March
at 10 a. m. as the date upon which
the commissioners and others must
show cause why the injunction should
not be made permanent. This hear
ing will be held in Dickinson.
The proceedings will finally settle
the question of which town is entitled
to the county seat, it Is believed
While there has been several actions
before the court the issues we're not
so clear as in the injunctional pro-
ceedings. 1t is believed that the su-
preme court will be called upon to
rule in the case no matter what may
be the decision OF the district court.
The injunction was issued upon a
showing made by Attorney Steve Nc.
Kinnon of the office Of George A
Bangs. An extended petition was pre-.
scented. Service was made upon the
Mckenzie county officials yesterday.
The clerk of court has been at
Alexander since the, county was Or
ganized:: He insists Alexander should
be the county seat. In case the courts
decide In favor of Schafer he will be
obliged to remove his once from Alex

Mr.. Carnegie's frequent donations to

NEW YORK. May 17.-Satisfied that
Charles w. Morse is being illegally de-
prived OF his rights in being kept a
prisoner in the Tombs' though many
prominent men have offered to go his
bail for any amount pending a decision
OF his appeal. and limiting that hostile
forces of tremendous influence are al
work to keep Morse in Jail, Magistrate
Leroy B. Crane has made the following
appeal in the imprisoned fnancier's be-
half:
Il, am particularly interested in the
case CT Charles w. Morse, now con-
fnsd in the Tombs awaiting de-
cision OF the courts on appeal In case
wherein he CMorse) was convicted of
irregularities in his banking business,
and for which ne is supposed to serve a
term OF fifteen years Imprisonment.
Derived No Profit.
"As I understand the case, it is un.
der the United States statutes a misde-
meanor to have acted as he did in the
capacity OF a bank director. AS ap-
pears by the records, Morse and Cur
tbs were indicted for a conspiracy IN
making false entries and in misappli-
cation OF certain moneys Of a bank,
At the trial. however. on the conspiracy
charges verdict was given Of not
guilty The evidence does not disclose
the fact that either Morse or Curtis
proflted personally by procuring money
from the bank improperly or illegally.
In the United States courts, in cases
similar to this, where a writ Of error
is sued out, a bill Of exceptions fled
and undertaking given to stay eNecu-
tior Of the judgment Of conviction pend
ing a hearing of the writ Of error by
the circuit court of appeals, II has
been the general rule 10 allow bail to
be given In fact, It is exceptional
where cases in the misdemeanor class
can be found, that bail has been denied
or refused.
