DAMAGED
By Fire Was Residence A
Brink Haven

Brink Haven, June 24-The home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Frizzell in this
village was badly damaged by fire at
about three o'clock Thursday after
noon. The cause of the fire is not
positively known, but 1t is thought
that it was caused by spontaneous
combustion in Il trunk which had been
tightly packed and placed in the
kitchen at the rear of the house At
any rate, about three o'clock the
kitchen was seen to be burning and n
great effort was made to get all of the
household goods out in the yard be-
fore they were damaged, This being
done, the work Of extngulshing the
flames was begun, In a short time,
they were under control, nothing hav-
ing been damaged except the kitchen,
The loss Is about $l00

entirely different, but Sharp has ad-
vantages which he did not possess be-
fore. He has been in congress a term
and given the people the very best
possible service.
The people are satisfied and dis
posed to say as did Senator Hanna,
LET well enough alone" Then this
year Cannonism and the tariff are
issues. Two years ago while the tar
iff was an issue to a degree the con-
test against Mr.. Cannan was not men
toned. Moreover the tariff came in
in an entirely different way. Then the
Republicans we're upon a party plat
form pledged to revise the schedule
downward. Now they are standing as
the violators and repudiators of that
pledge.
The real question here Is whether
these new issues will gain for the
Democrats as many Republican votes
as the factional fight among the Re-
publicans gained them two years ago.
On this opinion is much divided, but
those who know politics the best and
are the best competent to judge be.
lieve in the majority that Mr.. Sharp
will be reelected, and the Democrats
are certainly more confident than the
Republicans. Outside Of Lorain coun'
ty, where both of the nominees live
the District will certainly be Demo
cratic. That county will have the de.
termining voice and 1t is going to re-
solve itself somewhat into question
of personal popularity at home. On
that score Mr.. Sharp need have no
cause for concern. He Is popular In
the extreme and his popularity is bas-
ed upon most substantial grounds.
In going about the district in the
different counties and among the
people Governor Harmon was found to
have degree lof strength he did not
possess two years ago. II Is the
strength which comes from accom-
hpllshment. His administration has
given the most unbounded satisfac
tion and one hears enthusiastic ex
pressions of approval everywhere.

SUDDEN
Was The Death Of Prof. Hall
At Gambler

Professor Arthur Cleveland Hall,
B. A., Phi. D., who has occupied the
Edwin M. Stanton chair of economics
and sociology at Kenyon college, died
suddenly last midnight of acute indi-
gestion after an illness lasting but a
half hour.
Prof. Hal attended the commence
ment exercises Wednesday and the
banquet in the evening and was SEEM
ingly as well as usual. What caused
the attack of indigestion Is not known.
DR.. Welker was called to the Hall
home at 1880 last night and did all
in his power to relieve the stricken
man but he passed away about 1900
o'clock
Prof. Hall was about AZ years old
and has been connected with the fac
ulty of Kenyon college for about five
years. He received his B. A. degree
at Trinity college and the Phi. D. de-
gree at Columbia.
During the commencement exercises
Wednesday, Prof. Hail introduced
Colonel James Kilbourne of Columbus
who received an honorary degree from
the Gambler school.
Prof. Hall is survived by his wife
but there are no children. The funer
al will probably take place Sunday
afternoon. Burial at Gambler.

A brief definition of "Cannonism"
has been asked for. Cannonism
means that when the interests of the
common people and the interests of
the steel trust, the sugar trust, the
lumber trust, the harvester trust and
the combination of New England cot
ton manufacturers come into conflict,
the latter get the legislation they
want and the people are forced to
take that which they do not want.

lustration. The people said; I'VE

While working on the construction

While working on the construction
of new bridge across Owl creek at
Green Valley, north of Walhonding,
Mike Pater fell from the top of the
structure, the fact that he fell into
six feet of water being probably all
that saved him from instant death.
Pater's head struck on an iron rod and
a cash six inches long was cut across
his forehead. He was taken to DR..
Sands sanatorium where medical at.
tention was given him.
Pater is structural iron worker
and is in the employ of the Mt. Yer
non Bridge Co.-Coshocton Times.

Woman has made her way in art

the advantages women haye, have all
been brought about by women. When
Lucy Stone graduated from Oberlin
college they would not allow her to
read her graduating essay as it would
not be proper for woman to appear
before the public, but one Of the pro-
fessors would read it for her.. She
refused to write the essay under those
conditions, and thus one blow was
struck that set people to thinking. Aft

minutes to the personnel of some wo-
men. Can he refer to Susan b. An
thony, whose eightieth birthday was
celebrated in Washington? Over 1900
letters and kilograms were received
by her from every civilized country in
the world. Perhaps he means Eliza
beth Cady, that grand old woman
whose name will go down in history
by the side of Abraham Lincoln. Is
it Frances Willard, whose memory is
held sacred in every civilized nation
on the globe, beloved by all. May be
many more like Harriet B.-Stowe, Ju-

carried out for women not by women?

In the debate on the Presidents
railroad regulation bill, Senator Dol
liver of Iowa, Republican, said; "The

Legislative life is saturated by the sus-
picion that even the English language
requires Watching" What did he
mean?
Whatever may be the principal
cause of the increased cost of living,
(and most people believe it is excess
sive protection), economists are prac-
tically agreed that the most practical
way to lower the cost of living is to
reduce the tariff on the necessaries
of life.

VITAL WASHINGTON NEWS
TAvENNER "WRITER AND THINKER" GIVES US THE
(By Clyde H. Tavenner)

Washington, June Achievement
by stealth, is fitting expression to
describe the gag-rule methods inaug-
urated under Mr.. Taft.
Not merely the average employee
of the government, but the highest
officials, are afraid to give newspaper
men information as to what is going
on. Employees are being made to feel
that they owe no fidelity to the pub
lie, but that they are mere personal
servants of the coterie of men now
| in hcarge of the government.
AS a result of the discharge of Pin
chot, CLAWS, Kerby and other interior
department employees, the average
government worker today feels that 1t
is worth his position to discuss even
matters of public record with news
paper man.
The following official order signed
by George Otis Smith, director of the
United States Geological survey,
gives an idea of the Russianrlike CEN
sorship that has been established ov-
er government information:
"Rule 2. That no interview shall
be granted without securing from the
person soliciting the same promise
that he will, before submitting the
material to his publication Office, pre-
sent copy of his manuscript to the
director George Otis Smith) for ap.
proval."
So far as is known among newspa-
per men in Washington, nothing SO
drastic as this in the way Of press
censorship has ever been attempted
before in America.
In 1890, under Cleveland, the total
annual appropriation for the expenses
of the national government was $340,
100000, or Sc for every man, woman
and child. In 1900 our expenses had
increased to S600,000,0OO, or $S for ev
cry man, woman and child. The last
Congress appropriated the colossal
sum of 81, ,O44, ,4O1 ,S57, or nearly $12 fol
every man, woman and child. This
Congress threatens to spend $4,000,
600 in excess of last years appropria
ton.
Republicans appear reluctant to con
Germ themselves much about govern
ment expenditures in relation to the
cost of living. But one thing is Ger
tain. Government does not pick vi
these hundreds of millions of dollar
In the street. This money comes on
of somebody's pocket. Unlike cit.
and state governments, the nationa
government has but one way Of rails
ing revenue to meet expenses, an,
that is by taxing things eaten, worl
or used by the people. Hence it /
that increased cost of living Is march
ing hand-in-hand with increased Re
publican extravaganza.

81 am sorry said Senator Bristow
of Kansas, while discussing the rail
road bill, that the senator from West
Virginia (Elkins) has deserted the
chamber, and l am sorry the senator
from Rhode Island (Aldrich) is not
here, and that the senator from Mas
sachusetts (Lodge) has also disap-
peared."
! A survey of the senate showed that
the railroad senators, after having
outlined the kind of legislation they
had decided should be enacted, had
fed from the chamber without wait
ing to hear those who disagreed from
the railroad viewpoint.
"Those of us who are here might
possibly be instructed" suggested a
Democratic senator upon noting Bris-
tow's chagrln, but If the senator from
Kansas imagines that anything he
can say will influence those senators
he Is wasting his time and breath.
Il am afraid the senator Is right,
answered Bristow. Then he went on
addressing the Democrats and the
empty seats of the standpatters.

campaign. The Tribune has urged
from the beginning that this matter
of supreme court judgeships Is high
" important one. The voters are en-
titled TO have and should get all the
light possible on the relative qualifi'
cations of the various candidates, and
cast intelligent ballots, with the opin-
ion formed from public discussion and
information as to the candidates. No
citizen of the state can object TO
choice made by the majority of the
people with a full knowledge OF the
men they are voting for. But choice
made hastily. unintelligently or acct
dentally is not wise and is not likely to
be productive of the best results. 1t IS
for that reason that we are glad to see
the matter brought prominently to the
attention of the voters. that they may
consider all the facts and arguments
and then make an intelligent choice.

BURKE.

Bismarck, n. D., Sept. %, 1910.
To the Honorable John Burke, Cover
nor of North Dakota.
! The Fargo Daily News of Septem'
Der 2lst quotes you with having made
the following statement in your speech
at Tower City, Cass county, Septem'
Der goth:
The state home for the feeble
minded is located at Grafton, and
after reading some of the editorials
in the Grafton Record have arrived
at the conclusion that it is a good
thing that the editor is located handy
to this institution. He has W1LFULLY
ANSREPRESENTED me in regard to
the appropriation for the Grafton
home for feeble minded and is trying
to create feeling against me in that
section by such methods.
He must have WlLFULLY MISREP-
RESENTED ME-, because if he had
read enough of the bill to gain the in
formation he printed he must have
read enough to know that he omit
ted the greater part of it in his pa
per-"
Inasmuch. as the Fargo Daily News
is a democratic paper and Is support
ing your candidacy in this campaign
l assume you have not been misquot'
ed.
The Institution of Feeble Minded is
a humane institution made necessary
by the misfortune of the mental de.
fectives of our state. The object and
purpose of this institution is in har-
mony with modern ideas of humanity
and charity. The citizens of Grafton
are pleased that it is located there
and take pride in contributing in
whatever degree they can to the CON-
fort and care of these unfortunate
wards of our commonwealth. Under
these circumstances l feel that can
without any sacrifice of pride or digni-
ty pass over the gratuitous slur you
offered both to this worthy institution
and a resident of Grafton when you
your hearers that my
residence is in the same city in which
this institution is located.
To your assertion that ''WILFUL-
LY MISREPRESENTED" in regard
to the appropriations for the In
for Feeble Minded, l
wish to state that you are
entirely wrong. not only read
through carefully the bill under dis
;ussion before writing my editorial,
out as president of the broad of trus-
lees of the Institution for Feeble Mind
ed l assisted in making up the items
hat went into the bill and was per-
'ectly familiar with it's provisions.

II you had read even hurriedfy but
Understandings my editorial you must
have seen that was not discussing
the general items of the appropriation
bill, such as maintenance, salaries,
etc., but was only discussing the
items for NECESSARY IMPROVE
ments." The Introductory sentence OF
the paragraph which criticised your
veto of items of this bill reads as
follows: 1.-THE Institution for Feeble
Minded located at Grafton was grant
ed the following sums for "NECES.
SARY IMPROVEMENTS" Then
the items amounting to $25,60O were
enumerated and also the amount We.
toed. So you must see, since have
called it to your attention, that l did
not "WILFULLY MISREPRESENT"
you, but on the contrary, you
have misrepresented me. know you
will do me the justice to tell the peo-
pie of Tower City, through the colu-
umns of their local paper, the Topics,
that you were led into error by fail
ure to read carefully my editorial be-
fore you discussed it in your address,
or that you made your statement that
"WILFULLY M1SREPRESENTED
you upon unfounded rumor or unre-
liable information.
Since you have dignified my edi-
torial by attempting to explain away
a part of this criticism of your Of
ficial act, will you kindly tell the peo-
pie of the State of North Dakota why
you vetoed appropriations for many
worthy purposes March goth, 1909,
upon the grounds that they exceeded
the revenues Of the state" when on the
same day, March 20, 1909, you ap-
proved every appropriation bill passed
by the Eleventh Legislative Assembly.

1t is, We think, hardly fair for some
of the state press to intimate that
the committee of lawyers that has in
dorsed three candidates for the SUI.
preme court are seeking to mislead
the people of the state. We do not re-
member that the committee has any
where stated that the state bar asso
citation has Endorsed their candidates
or ii 80 we have failed to see the
statement. The committee of one
hundred lawyers, we feel it fair to as.
sumo, are working in what they be.
1ieve to be the interests of the bench
and bar of the state. There are law.
yers and those of the laity who will
not agree with them, and their in.
dorsement is by no means an infalli.
bic indication of the wisdom of their
choice. At the same time, there are
many able and conscientious attor-
neys of the state who are enlisted In
the movement, as they have an en-
tire right to do, and their opinion is
worth serious consideration by the
voters of the state. And it is hardly
fair to them to say they are trying to
fool the people in the ouset Of their
