The Anvil Chorus Gets Out It's
Little Hammer.

Editor County Record:-
| saw in last weeks Record" Mr.
j j Graham'S views rad oliid-
ing. He says he believes in giving
each township the work that it is
entitled to from the communication
and one-mill road tax and he is OPP
posed to bonding the county to work
the roads, as he believes the roads
could be worked under the present.
system if properly managed. That is
my view, but is Mr. Graham practic-
ing what he is preaching? We have
roads in the lower part of the coun-
ty in Anderson township that never
get anything done to them but a
little mud thrown in the holes some
times once a year and sometimes
once in two years and the tops of
the bushes cut off. If this township
gets its portion of the work, its por-
ton is very little. The roads were
contracted out last year; the con-
tractors collected all they could out
of the delinquent road hands at
$3.50 and $500 each. Those not
able to pay the money were taken
on the road and worked what was
done to the road. The contractors
did not hire any work done. What
right has a contractor to collect
road tax and how could he have the
right to collect more than $500?
Why not hire the same man at $500
a day and save from Sl2 to SIS per
day and let him summon the delin-
quent hands and see that the work
was done? We would have better
roads by so doing, for as it is we
haven't any, or as bad as none.
We haven't had any work from
the chaingang or road machine since
they have been in existence, but still
live in hopes, while it is common
thing to have them in other sections.
Now, Mr. Graham, practice what
you preach or quit preaching.
BETTER ROADS FOR SAME MONEY.

With Mrs Nettles and her capable

health. The governor advised him
to resign not only on account OF his
health, but to the end that the DEM
ocracy in North Dakota might be re-
stored to a normal state of order.
Senator Thompson did not have to be
urged. The governor suggested the
resignation and it was forthcoming
without delay.
Mr.. Purcell was one of the demo
ocrats whom Governor Burke was
anxious to placate, and the Governor
left Washington with his mind made
up to name Mr.. Purcell as Mr..
ThOmpson's successor. Governor
Burke was determined to keep the
matter quiet until it became known
through Mr.. Purcell's arrival and his
request for qualification as member
of the senate. Mr.. Purcell got here
Monday, when the resignation of
Senator Thompson became effective
and from which date his own COM
mission was operative.
Courtesy Saved the Day.
The senate is the sole Judge of the
qualification of its members and the
committee on privileges and cleo
lions, Of which Senator Burrows, OF
Michigan, is chairman, advises the
senate on such matters. For a time
it seemed as if Senator Burrows
curiosity would result in failure of
Mr.. Purcell to qualify as a senator.
He took exceptions to the form OF
the credentials nreSentod nv Mr.
Purcell. Senatorial courtesy saved
the day when Mr.. McCumber told the
senate that Mr.. Thompson had really
resigned, that Mr.. Purcell had real
ly been appointed and that he hoped
the senate would overlook any little
irregularity in the form Of the ere.

to-be.
! Senator Burrows gracefully with.
drew his objection and following his
lead other elder statesmen who were
somewhat upset by the informally
of the proceedings, refrained from
placing any obstacles in the way OF
the qualification of Mr.. Purcell.
The announcement that Mr.
Thompson had rendered his resigna
ton as a member of the senate
created a more or less dIgnified in

ployes.
His Clothing Not "De Rigeur.''
1t is customary for men about to
be sworn in as members of the SEN
ate to appear at the capital with
high hats and frOck coats.
Mr.. Purcell did not observe the
conventions in this respect. When
he arrived at the capital he wore a
SLOUGH hat and sack coat. AS he
entered the senate it was observed
that his waistcoat was rather noisy
in color and garment that did not
at all meet the approval of the good
dressers of the upper house of con-
gress.

Purcell with a chuckle.
Would Like to Keep Toga.
Senator Purcell announced that he
was a candidate for election to the
senate by the North Dakota legisla-
ture. Il shall make campaign for
the place." he said. This looks to
me like a good democratic year.
North Dakota is ripe for a change
There is a lot Of dissatisfaction in the
state with present conditions. For
example, our people believe in tariff
revision-tariff revision downward
The law enacted last August did not
revise the tariff downward to our
way of thinking. I shall make my
campaign for election to the senate
on the issues of the tariff, advocating
reduction Of rates and such other
enactments as are in line with the
progressive thought of the day."
Referring to the agitation against
the present high level of prices for
food stuffs, Senator Purcell said:
"There is a good deal of talk in
North Dakota on this subject. The
people of our state believe the ques
ton should be inquired into in order
that the facts may be brought on,
II the tariff is at fault in this re-
gard we should be Informed of it. II
the big combinations are at the bot
tom of the trouble we should know
it. An impartial investigation would
disclose whether it is the tariff OF
the trusts or a combination Of both
that is the cause of the present high
cost of living. Let us get at the
facts. I shall support any PROPOSE
ton that appears to tend toward the
attainment of this end"
Senator Purcell said that he wa:
disinclined to go into an extensive
discussion of public questions a.
this time.

have transpired in Washington, but
it would hardly be proper for me
at this time to be obtruding my views
on the public. I have positive opin-
ions on the tariff, and in due time l
shall express them in speeches in
North Dakota. There is marked
public sentiment on this question in
our state. 1t should be needed. So
far as it is in my power I shall bring
this subject forward prominently,
and while there is little hope Of &C.

to believe that Senator McCumber
was advised as to what was about to
transpire when Governor Burke ap.

Governor Burke came here at that

Thompson that the situation among

Good Work of a Little Girl.

The department is sorry to lose, in the
person of Oracle White, president OF the
Davie street school civic league, one OF it's
brightest and most enthusiastic junior
workers. Oracle, who left a few days
ago for Henderson to spend the summer
with relatives, was shining light among
her schoolmates and set an example in
cleanliness and unretiring energy which
every boy and girl should emulate. She
kept not only her own promises like the
proverbial new PIN but the street OF
the entire block in which she lived. Woe
to the hapless miscreant, no matter OF
what age, color or social condition, who
threw paper or trash in the street over
which Oracle had supervision. He was
promptly taken to task and politely re-
quested to go and offend no more. We
look for the organization OF Junior Civic
League in Henderson as a result of her
visit, and there is need OF such an organi-
cation in every town in America.
The above is taken from the Civic
Notes department of Greensboro
Woman's Club, in the Greensboro
Daily News, and will be read with in
terest we are sure by the friends o. the
young lady in Henderson, where she
formerly lived. Miss Oracle is the
daughter OF Mr.. James W. White and

ton in Greensboro and will travel she
