The school maintains a band for

of the best and most successful in
the northwest. Chances to hear
the leading musicians of the

Did he Really Do III

Sheldon Progress: The ST..
Paul Pioneer Press has been nos
ing around the political corners
and processes to have found out
something about the coming cam
paign for the North Dakota Sena-
torship which will cause the aver
age North Dakotan to smile. The;
article in question pictures Con-
gresham Gronna as sending a
telegram from st. Paul to Jud LA.
Moure at Brainerd and purporting
to come from Senator Nc umber,
requesting a conference and then.
when Jud reached the city drop
ping in upon him himself. The
wise man of The Press dissent
mates the further information that
Gronna was looking for support
from Jud and the Stalwart wing Of.
the republican party for his boom
for the United States Senate and.
incidentally for Marshall's as his
running mate. Marshall to take.
the long term as successor to Nc.
Cumber and Gronna the short
term, now held by r. L. Thomp-.
son as successor to the late NJ. N.
johnson. Now the conference
may have taken place and there
would be nothing provocative of
criticism in such a meeting, but
why Gronna should go about Sc.
curing it in such a roundabout
way listens rather queerly and. ial
hard to believe.

We honestly believe that the

lawless counted much more in
favor of the ofice-seeker than the
mere possession of gold or its
equivalent.
All this has now changed. The
great bankers, spectators, pro-
moters, and combinations of these,
called Trusts and Corporations,
have a vise.like grip IN the necks
of the voters and endeavor in all
ways possible to compel their
sanction Of every scheme to furth-
er their own interests as against
said voters. This is done by what
may legitimately be called brute
force and cowardly intimidation,
and by the use of hired political
bosses and subsidized newspapers.
The elements of right, fairness,
justice and equality are totally
lacking.
The truth of the foregoing has
oeen clearly demonstrated during
the past few weeks by the many
newspaper articles referring to
political matters in our own state
of North Dakota. These articles
seem to favor the man with the
dollars as against the poor man
with brains. 1t is easy to see
why.
Our Attorney General, Andrew
Miller, is a possible candidate for
the United States Senatorship, al.
though he has not yet announced
himself as such. The entire press
of the state, besides the leading
dailies of Minneapolis aud St.
Paul admit that he is the only Of
fetal in this last administration
who has made good-at least they
mention no others-yet from some
unaccountable influence, (presum-
ably cash in handy, they are in
clined to sidetrack him for the fell
low who holds a mortgage on the
poor peoples farms and who is
working in the interests of the
millionaire trust companies and
bond. holders.
1t is unfortunate that Mr.. Mil
Ter was not born with a silver
spoon in his mouth and that he is
not a CRATER" He has never
been in Alaska, like Alex McKenz-
ie, and knows nothing about buy
ing Courts and gold mines to the
detriment of the common people.
He has simply relied upon hard
work and honesty to obtain the
position he now occupies. The
toiling citizens of our republic
appreciate the sterling hard hand
ed qualities he possesses and vote
for such as he, knowing that their
intetests will be served in minutest
detail. His patriotism consists in
a true regard for every citizen of
our republic, the rights to which
each is entitled, and that strict
Justice implanted in every human
breast without regard to special
moneyed interests.
Each and every citizen voter of
the state has q right to say what
he will have. If he chooses the
moneyed man and desires the

bankers and hired political bosses
to rule over him he has an inher-
ent right to do so. He is growing
his own potatoes, not us.
Some little time ago a political
boss could go in a convention any
where in the state and dictate to
the delegates what they should do,
but under the present primary law
in North Dakota each voter has
his rights and can. vote for any
candidate whether such candidate.

and died of chronic Brigbts disease, at
his home in Tionesta township, +, rest
county, Pa, Jan. s, 1909 In 1855 he was
united In marriage with Sarah Ann
Mealy, and to this union seven children
were born, six of whom remain to mourn
the death of their father, as follows: Mrs.
Christopher Kagle of Emlenton; Mrs.
Jerry Black of Warren; Mrs. Peter Bra
dybaugh, Mrs. Heck Brumbsugh, Philip
and Edward Byers, near the old home.
For many years Mr.. Byers had been a
devoted and consistent member of the
Evangelical church. He was man hon
ored and respected for his kindness, gen.
tility and unflinching honesty, against
whom no word of reproach was ever ut
tered by his neighbors or acquaintances.
Funeral services we're held at Mt Zion
church near his late home on Monday,
and the body was laid to rest In the cem-
etery adjoining the church. Rev. F.
Timmins conducted the services.
There's IN ssing link at home,
A dear father left today,
And we trust in realms of glory,
Where we know he'll always stay.
There's missing link at home,
The children hatbed in tears
For father long beloved,
Whom they loved so many years.
But he left the dear old home
For another far above,
And took with him Saviour's
And his dear children's love.
Dear faith r rest-when we like you
Have passed lfe's toilsome journey thru,
Wen come aud lay our weary head
Near thine upon thy same sweet bed.

IT is stated on good authority that
Auditor General Robert X. Young, will
vigorously oppose any effort to induce
the coming legislature to repeal the mer-
camille tax law. 1t has been repeatedly
intimated that such an effort would be
made, The law was first enacted in 1921.
General Young points out that with the
increased expenditures in behalf of va
rious forms of public charities and useful
state enterprises it would be unwise to
consider any proposition that would re-
duce the income of the commonwealth
He believes the objections urged against
the mercantile tax are really due to the
manner of its enforcement, and as this
is improving year by year he thinks IL
will soon be largely overcome.
