won out splendidly over the in
surgent candidate, Twichell of
Cass. and went before the voters
of the state as the republican

been an easy victory, il insur-
gentism were true TO principle.
But, insurgent like. the insurg-

that anomaly, a democratic gov

To incoming settlers it is be-
coming quite apparent that they
are being worked altogether too
heavy for the inspection of their
stock. Granted, that the inspec-
ton of live stock brought. in is
an important and salutary meas
ure. it is nevertheless strongly
akin to a holdup game on the
part of the government, or rath-
er perhaps-its agents to charge
the ruinous rates now current for
inspection, leaving out of view
the further burden of frequent
unnecessary delay. If the gov
ernment sees the necessity of in
spection, such inspection should
be had at nominal figure =
even such being a burden on the
Immigrant. But, to stop man S
Tourney and hold him up for
three to six dollars, is nothing
else than robbery. To make
matters still worse, the helpless
honyak is every once in while
made to pay for a second inspec-
ton, and it does look as if the
whole thing is scheme to seper-
ate the traveller from his coin.
Instances in corroboration of
these lines are numerous and
easily obtained.

took the train for Huron, S. D.,
on Thursday morning, to take in
the Travelling Mems convention
which meets there today and to-
morrow. They go with the
credentials of the Lennon Com

invitation TO invite the Jolly
bunch of commercial travellers to
come to Lennon for their 1911
convention. 1t is needless to
emphasize that the quintette
named will leave no stone un-

We acknowledge with ap-
probation a postal card from
Walter F. Belcher, showing in
photograph the arrival of the
Tribune force, armed to the
teeth, on a wagon loaded to the
guards with print shop para
phernalia. In the background, a
humble tent, flanked by a most
pretentious sign reading THE
Tribune. All this is at Timber
Lake on the reservation. And
in the corner the humble ad-
mission: Nobody is going to
run this paper but Us. If you
want to find out who is boss,

And now report has it that the
Northern Pacific railway has dis
continued the building of It's
branches from Mandan out. If
this be so it is a heavy dissa-
polntment for the thousands
who have been expecting the ar
rival of the rails with logging.
AS yet the C. M. & st. P. is
building on it's branches, and
heres hoping" for the sake of
the many, that it's arm may not
| tire ere the task is done. The
reason which the Northern Paci-
fic advances is that the political
agitations of the last months,
and the federal inquiries have
had such an effect as to leave for
the present at least all further
developement work out of the
question. So much for the con-
temptation of the anti-railroad
agitation. You can make ex-
istence so miserable to railroad
as to drive it out of business
but by such tactics you cannot
build any roads or develop terri
. tory. The unexpected and un-
desired cessation from railroad
work up north is a case in point.
The meeting of the city coun-

tabled the matter of granting

Mining is brisk at Mt. Hope, Richard

ore have recently been located. Iron
was mined at Mt. Hope in pre- -Revolu-
tionary days and cannon balls forged
from the ores taken out of the bowels
of the earth at Mt. Hope were fred at

No Place in a Public school.

Summit is just now divided over the
question Of retaining or dismisSing its
so, 400 lady school superintendent. The
board of education last week decided
to dispense with her services. She has
justified this action for in talk be-

Man in Public Life" among other
things, Miss Connolly is quoted as
saying, .'are you not filed with awe
when you see young man earning
fifteen dollars week ask woman to
marry and live on that sum 2"
A person giving expression to such
sentiments has no place in a public
school system where boys and girls are
in training for good citizenship. Fif-
teen dollars a week is considerably
above the average of incomes in this
country including professional men
and women. We venture the asser-
tion that more homes are secured by
families living on less than that sum
than those having more.

sentenced to Jail to be Disinfected.

Sentenced to Jail to be Disinfected.
Because he did not think it neces-
sary to go into quarantine after being
exposed to scarlet fever, and because
he was not aware that suit of cotton
clothing will catch just as many dis
ease germs as a molasses barrel will
flies, John Reubens was taken into
custody by the board of health OF
Summit.
Rubens was forced into quarantine by
Justice of the Peace Arthur Hicks, Of
Summit, and given twenty days in the
county jail for disinfection.
Rubens walked right into the home
of friend where there was scarlet
fever, and without malice or fore
thought walked right out again into
the highways and the byways with
enough scarlet fever germs upon his
person, it is alleged, to start an epi-
demic.
When taken to jail Rubens told
Warden Dodd that he couldn' t tell a
germ from dromedary. II don't see
why I'm here" he said.
You're here for carrying concealed
weapons" was the apt reply.
This is said to be the first case of the
kind in the history of the county.

association is seeking a location for a
speedway and it's special committee,
composed of Lewis A. Waters, L. s.

quarters of a mile in all of road being
used.
