BRYANT Defends
JUDGE BURKE
LOGAN COUNTY EDITOR THINKS
JUDGE AMADoN's CRITICISM
UNJUST.
BELIEVES THE DISTINGUISHED
FEDERAL JUDGE IGNORANT
OF REAL FACTS.

Editor Bryant in Napoleon Home
stead, 28th: Logan county people
have read with considerable surprise
the article appearing in the Fargo
Forum of Monday evening, Oct. Oath,
1910, which was headed IAN Outrage,
saws Amidon." TIE statements con-
tanned in that article are, we regret
to find, great and unwarranted out
rfage upon Judge E. T. Burke Of this
judicial district, owing to the whole
sale misstatements of facts in the case
made through misstatements OF
Judge Amidon.
Here in Logan county where the
people are acquainted with Judge
Burke and his methods of conduct
ing court, the people are merely
aroused all the stronger in his behalf
in the interest of his candidacy for
associate justice of the supreme court
for they are too cognizant of the real
facts. They are more than aroused,
they are-many of them-higly in
censed that such fragrant misrepresen-
tations should breed and gain mo-
mentum. Nor do we feel that Judge
Amidon has meant to attach any
blame where it did not belong-he has
simply been deceived and trapped In
his decision with reference to Judge
Burke in practically the same manner
that the latter was deceived and
trapped when he signed enormously
fraudulent naturalization paper for
the clerk of the district court OF
this county upon Misrepresentation
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1910-11-02

here in substance as it was in the St.
Louis cases. The foreigners were
brought before the court in droves,
and simply passed into citizenship
without any knowledge on their part
of the requirements for admission to
citizenship, or on the part of the court
as to whether those requirements had
been complied with. The foreigners
could not speak English and did not
understand word of the proceedings.
No Interpreter was employed. No
questions were asked. No examina'
ton was had. Simply the oath OF al
legiance was administered to the
whole band of applicants in body"
BY reading the above the average
citizen unacquainted with the facts
in the case, as are hundreds Of Logan
county people, would infer that Judge
Burke was about the-well anything
but entitled to preside over our dis
trict court. The above is wholly I'M
true on the following counts
/. The foreigners have not been
brought before Judge Burke's court
in Logan county in droves and simp'
ly passed into citizenship without any
knowledge on their part of the ne
quirements for admission to citizen
ship, or on the part of the court as
to whether those requirements had
been complied with.
2. Not all the foreigners were un'
able to speak English and could not
understand a word of the proceed
ings."
3. Interpreters have been employ
de for each and every foreigner that
were brought before Judge Burke's
court here who was unable to under
stand the language of the court.
4. Special agents of the U. 8. gov
eminent have been present and were
present at the time in question and
cross examined the applicants and
witnesses very infinitely.
S. The oath Of allegiance was not
administered to the whole band and
not administered to the whole band OF
applicants in a body.
6. The writer knows whereof he
speaks because he was present dur
ing said term of court and was a wit
ness for one of the applicants.
The writer does not for one minute
, believe that Judge Amidon has so Sc
verely castigated Judge Burke without
believing himself we'll informed. He
has had the case "miserably misrep'
resented" to him, whereby an almost
unbelievable wrong has been per.
petrated upon Judge Burke, and
which should be corrected. believe
| that Judge Amidon's fine sensibinty
of fairness will prompt him upon be
coming cognizant Of the real facts to
make an effort to amend his action
, in this matter. The press Of the state
, has seized the matter and 10 making

capital of same against Judge Burke
at this time in his candidacy, along
with five others for election to the su-
preme court.
The writer will not here contend
for or against the fitness OF Judge
Burke or any of the rest OF the can
didates for membership to that great
est honor our state can confer on
one of it's citizens. The interest OF
the writer is that an error be cor.
rected and square deal be had all
around. =.
1t is quite clear to the writer that
the source of Judge Amidon's infor.
nation was prejudical in a political
way to Judge Burke and that the for
mer was unconsciously made an in.
strument to further the purpose OF
Judge Burke's enemies, and especial.

it's effect would be most deadly, IN

of the latter to the effect that he
Judge Burke), 'had forgot one,'
meaning, of course that Judge Burke
had, by mistake or oversight, failed
to sign the record of one of the par
ties naturanzed by him.
Reader, imagine yourself visiting
Judge to our district court. You
come here once or twice a year. The
court room is crowded with people
who are strangers to you. A portion
of the business of the term is to hear
the petitions Of thirty or forty aliens
whose faces and names are strange
to you. They are mostly men, but
some are women. Would you not
lean considerable upon the clerk OF
your court as source for identiflca'
ton and assistance and safeguarding
the interests Of the court? We be-
lieve you would. Surprising the clerk
should "slip one over" on you as was
the case here in that of Matilda
Schultze, person who had been dead
for several years, in the manner
above recited. Would you be guilty
of any Intentional wrong doing OF
simply the victim of misplaced con
fidence in the main prop of the court
The people of Logan county who
have attended sessions of court here
know that foreigners have not been
naturalized in droves, as intimated
by Judge Amidon. That they have
been admitted singly and in due form
with the presence and participation
of special agents of the U. 8. bureau
of naturalization. That Interpreters
have been employed in all instances
where the applicant or witnesses
could not understand the language
Of the court.
The accident which befell Judge
Burke in the case of Matilda Schultz
could easily, just as easily, we be-
lieve, have befallen any other Judge
If coming up in the same way.
The following paragraph of Judge
Amidon's charge to the Jury is 50
erroneous that we cannot pass II
without reputation for those of ou1
people who may not have read it in
the Forum. Numerous people here
who have read it before have been
very outspoken in resenting it and
many have called our attention to the
same with the request that it be cor
rected. We reproduce same as fol
lows:

Togus defeated the Odd Fellows

has played the second team here sew
eral times and put up good game of
ball, but yesterday they seemed to
have an off day, and although the
Home team had the best of it there
would have been less scores had the
visitors made less errors. The visitors
got their first runs in the fifth, when
with two down Narnum at third
fumbled an easy grounder and Burrell
was safe. Mccurdy singled and Lang
got a nice single to left and in trying
to stretch it into a double was thrown
out at second by Kirk, but with the
two runs in. McCurdy pitched a fine
game but had poor support. while Har-
vey had fine support and didn't have
to work as hard to hold down the hits.
Two games are booked for next week.

Streets Badly Cut
Up by Storm.

rhe street department of this city
has been very unfortunate in the mat
toy of it's roads being washed away by
Thursdays heavy storm. That section
of the city, known as the Plains. was
perhaps the greatest sufferer. resting
as it does on the edge of the river bank
and in other places having steep hills
in which the water rushed down in
torrents. washing away everything be-
fore it. The lately completed piece of
road along Front street, from Lock-
wood to Temple street and along Tenn
pie street to the foot bridge crossing
over to Winslow, had all the top sur
face Of gravel washed away, and on
Temple street. the body of the road was
washed into he river. Street Commits
sioner Morse began at once the work
of restoration along Temple street,
force of men filling in and repairing
that street These series of storms
have been very costly to the city, and
at time when the city can i'll afford
it. OF course, no part of the city es-
capped the ravages of the storm but it
was inconsequental in other sections
and the repairs needed will be slight.
