Official Paper of Valley County

While neither of the Glasgow pa
per mentioned the fact, it is current
ly reported that an inspector repre-
senting the Civil Service Commission
was in Glasgow last week Investigate
ing the alleged political activity of
Deputy Inspector, Jas. r. Stevens.
After election last fall Sheriff
Small reported Mr.. Stephens for per-
nicious activity in politics. Upon in
vestigation Mr.. Smalls charges were
not sustained and the matter was
dropped.
In the city election in Glasgow this
spring the Democrats were badly
split. Senator Truscott, George E.
Uurd, Ed. d. Coleman, A. w. Mahon
and all the other influential demo-
cratic leaders opposed Mayor Daw-
sons election an account of his past
political ENHANCEMENT and also fear
ing that he would supplant them in
the leadership Of the famous GU Dem
ocratic organization of Valley coun-
ty.
Sheriff Small and County Attorney
Dignan were with the aid of republic
can votes elected but they felt that
they had not been properly support
ed by the old leaders and decided to
put the organization out of business
which they did, Mayor Dawson soon
as elected reported Mr.. stephens for
pernicious political activity in oppos-
ing his election and these charges
were investigated last week by spec
ial Civil Service Inspector assisted |
by Small, Dignan and Dawson the |
new Democratic party of Valley
county. This should be a splendid !
example to the Republicans who have
been supporting a part of the Demo-
cratic ticket. Four years ago when
Dignan was defeated by that loyal
Republican, John J. Kerr, he con-
tested kerr's election, causing that
old gentlemen much loss and ankle
ty. The complete failure Dignan

knowledged by even those who sup
ported him. Small never was aught
but a traitor 10 his friends. Small's
conduct in turning down Hurd who
has stool by him, managing his cam
paign and defending him against the
attacks of his enemies for ten or
twelve years, is worse than that of |
the arch traitor, Judas. |
Dawson, Dignan and Small, the
new Democratic organization, are
fighting the old organization for re-
yenge.
Let Republicans be Republicans
and hereafter remember the treat t
ment Stephens has received from the :
new Democratic organization and al
ways vote the ticket straight.

Pure FOOD Law IS
WORKING REFORMS
EFFECTS ARE PARTICULARLY NO.
J. TIcEABLE AMONG THE
MEAT DEALERS.
Less Preservatives Used in Curing
.,Meats-Home Manufacturers Claim
preservatjves Not Harmful.

That the pure food law is showing
its good effects in marked manner
is apparent from the following state
nrent of Prof. Ladd, pure food COM
missioner:
"When the pure food law was first
put in force in North Dakota, hardly
a butcher in the state could be found
who was not using preservatives in
meats, especially In sausages ana
hamburger steak.
In this case the preservat1ve EN-
ployed was largely sulphites. ny some
considered no more harmful than
benzoic acid or it's salts.
= ,.After the food law had been IN
force for two or three years in the
state, and the sale of all food pro-
ducts containing sulph1tes had De'en
strictly forbidden physicians in gen
eral, and several particularly, nave
stated to the writer that there mas
been a marked decrease In certain
classes of stomach trouble, previous
lv prevalent. They attributed this to
the fact that the people were no long
or using this preservative and the dis
turbanees which naturally come from
the use, of sulphates had been remoV-
ed until the physicians had been
able to notice in the larger towns,
marked decrease in their office prac-
tice for this class of ailments.
"There are many manufacturers
and ardent supporters of the interests
who however, maintain that preserva-
tives are not harmful and desire TO
20 back again to an age Of chemical
Dreservatives, and 'smbalmed foods
but for what reason they do not make
clear.
commissioner Dunlap of Ohio, mas
issued the following notice:
'Jobbers and dealers are hereby
instructed not to accept from the
packers, shucked oysters to which ice
or water has been added, and retail
ers are cautioned not to add ice or
dilute them with water.
"This action On the part or the
food commissioner of Ohio is but fur
ther evidence that the stand taken by
this department with regard to the
sale of such oysters in North Dakota
is generally recognized as just for the
protection OF the customer and not to
the detriment of the honest dealer.

years in the state legislature, Is WIS.,
iting with friends in the city for a few
days after having completed the bust
ness in connection with the erectlon
and dedication of the tWhitestone Bat
tlefield monument near Merrfcourt
The major has the credit Of having
originated the idea of erecting a mon
ument to the memory of the brave
soldiers who fell while defending the
frontier from the depredations Of the
red men. When he first settled IN
Dickey county he was informed that
a notable battle had been fought with
in the confines of the county, and up
on looking it up decided that the
event was of sufficient Importance
to be commemorated by a monument
- In Dickey county there was a Vet
eran and Sons of Veterans society,
which had been organized along SOC
ial lines, and after some discussion
it was, decided to turn the attention
and efforts of the society towards
securing money and land for the
erection OF monument, Major Ken
nedv originated a bill which was pre-
scented to the Legislature and passed
whereby the Whitestone Battlefield
monument was authorized, and a
grant Of land made. The land was
finally sold and the proceeds were
used In securing the monument and
the commission saw the consnmmatfon
OF their hopes last week when the
monument was unveiled.
The land granted the commission
was entirely unsettled except one
quarter section and the settler on
this pieces was persuaded to give up
his claim. ALI of the land was sold
except 72 acres and this was used for
the erection Of the monument and
parking purposes. The monument Is
erected about seven miles from Mer-
ricourt in Dickey county.
Major Kennedy has served six years
as sergeant of arms in the state leg
islature and IS well known over the
state. He has acted as president OF
the commission since it's Inception,
