WRONG VIEWS OF CENSUS.

When the enumerators begin the
work OF taking the federal census they
will have the usual experience of
running upon lot OF people who are
not quite sure what a census is. and
who suspect that IL conceals some pos
sibility Of harm 10 them.
This apprehension is based on ig-
norance. OF course, and the census
bureau is taking steps TO remove il by
throwing light into the ignorance, COM
ments the Duluth Herald. 1t is ask
ing clergymen. physicians, school
teachers, employers and others who
come in contact with large numbers Of
people 10 cooperate with the bureau
by telling people the real facts and
urging them to give full replies to the
questions asked by the enumerators.
Teachers are particularly requested
to explain it to their pupils. so that
they may make it clear to their par
ents
To this end, the bureau has prepar-
ed statement which should be OF help
in removing unnecessary apprehen-
sions about the census. II explains
that the constitution requires a GEN.
sus OF the population 10 be taken every
ten years in order TO reapportion state

Of representatives. II is the means
also to ascertain the increase in the
population. agriculture. industries and
the resources of the nation since tbs
last census.
II is emphatlcally declared that the
sought from the people of
the United States is used solely for
general statistical purposes. Though
questions are asked of John Jones
about himself his family. his work,
his business, his earnings, etc, John
Jones will not appear i'm the census
At all in any way that could be recog-
nized by himself or anybody else. He
will be part Of a mass of figures cover
ing the whole nation. Individual facts

Individual or enterprise. THE census

any way in the assessment of pro-
perty for taxation. or for deportation
extradition measures,
army or navy CONSUMPTION. internal
revenue investigations, quarantine
regulations, or in any way to affect
the life, liberty or property of any
person.
That ought to make it clear enough.
II you have been telling the assessor
that your property is worth only $1,000
when in point of fact it is worth ST.
100000, you needn't be afraid to tell
the census enumerator the truth. The
assessor won't hear about IT, and the
only effect it can have upon him is
TO puzzle him about why his totals of
wealth are so ridiculously small COM
pared with the census totals.
To clinch it, it is explained that all
he census officials are sworn to Sc
'recy, and that II they violate that
,ath they are liable to a fine Of 81 900 |
n imprisonment for two years or both.
So you needn't be afraid to tell the !
census man all about II.

FRAMING A TICKET.

The stalwarts are gradually filling in
their ticket, and it is now evident that
a complete ticket will be put in the
field before the time for filing petitions
is closed. So far the ticket selected is
as follows:
United States Senators-P. j. Nc
Cumber, long term; Edward Engerud,
short time.
Congressman-L. B. Hanna, Fargo;
Alfred Blaisdell, Minot, or B. G. Skull
ason, Grand Forks.
Governor-C. A. johnson, Minot.
Lieutenant Governor-C. H. Shiels,
Edgeley.
Secretary of State-Frank Henry,
Valley City.
State Auditor-John Flittie, Willis
ton.
State Treasurer-Gunder Olson, Graf
ton.
Superintendent of Public Instruction
e. j. Taylor, Grand Forks.
Attorney General. C. Adamson,
Bottineau.
Insurance Commissioners George
Stone, Mott.
Commissioner of Agriculture and
Labor-W. C. Gilbreath, Mandan.
Railroad Commissioners-W. H.
Mann, New Salem; o. P. N. Anderson,
Starkweather; one yet to be filled.
One by one these men have been pre-.
vailed upon to announce their candid.
acies, and while it was being done by
the secret agencies of the machine the
holier-than-thou newspapers were
dishing up dope to the public about the
!; insurgent machine, the elimination
committee, and the fracture of the
primary law. 1t is now time for the
Fargo Forum, and the cuckoo press, to
tell the people that public sentiment
has so naturally set about these candi-
dates that the stalwart organization
has decided to support them for the
positions named. The fact of the matter
The Oakes times., 1910-05-26

the method they have proposed is the
very best way out Of the difficulty. 1t
is not new matter to them. It is
nothing in which their personal interest
is any more than hundreds of people Of
the county. They are doing their duty as
they see it. and duty that you would
feel compelled to do if you were placed
in similar position. They are trying
to safeguard the county's interests,
the very things they have been elected
to do. If you do not want to accept
their method vote against the bonds
and keep the records and documents in
the same hazardous condition. Then
should they be destroyed put the blame
where it belongs-not on the county
board.
The interests of Glendale have not
been considered in the matter. 1t is a
county proposition, pure and simple.
True it may be that Glendale will prof
it from the erection of county build
ing. Any city would be proud of it.
Glendale in this instance happens to be
the county seat, and The Times believes
that whether the court house is built
now or built ten years from now, it will
be built at Glendale. Glendale only
requires one vote out of every three to
hold it, and the vote in the Glendale
country alone is sufficient to carry an
election. People may haye a prejudice
against Glendale, but there should be
no prejudice against the county. The
only interest at stake is the interest of
the county, and that is all that should
be considered.
The Oakes times., 1910-05-26

The supreme court has decided that
candidates for the senate must specify
their petitions whether they are csn-
dida es for the long or short term. The
decision fayors the contention of the
progressive candidates, Messrs. Mar
shall and Grcnna, who had filed re-
spectively for the long and short terms.
Mr.. Engerud came out with a long
opinion on the question last winter and
filed his petition without regard to
specifying for which term he intended
to run. The decision is contrary to the
opinion as expressed by Mr.. Engerud
and he must file for one term or the
other. Mr.. McCumber has stated that
he wants the long term, to succeed
himself, and there is nothing left for
Mr.. Engerud to do but accept the
short term candidacy. The progressive
republicans are fighting for principle
and want the issues to be clearly pre-
sented. They want the progressive
candidates to be .pitted against the
stalwart candidates, without any chance
here and there for a trading PROPOSE
tion. Now it will be Mr.. Marshall
against Mr.. McCumber and Mr.. Gronna
against Mr.. Engerud. In other words
vote for Marshall is one against
McCumber and vote for Gronna is
one against Engerud and vice versa.
The other way in some places Marshall
and McCumber would run together,
while in other places Gronna and Enge-
rud would be the favorites. Now it
will be the progressives against the
stalwarts, the very thing the stalwarts
tried to avoid.
The Oakes times., 1910-05-26

Here 10 what one prominent citizen
Of Oakes, . member of the city council,
says on the bond proposition. e. j.
Walton, writing from Steele under
date of May 10th, says: Dear Alex:
Allow me to congratulate you on your
stand on the bond proposition. Have
read your editorial with much interest
and think you have covered the ground
thoroughly and comprehensively.
sincerely hope the bonds will carry and
if it were possible for me to do SO,
would certainly put in some effort in
support of it." There are other prom
inent citizens of Oakes who have
expressed the same opinion to The
Times the past week-and we are not
so lonesome as some people imagine.
The Oakes times., 1910-05-26

Glendale Leader: The Monango
Journal seems to haye its knife out
for Marshall, presumably because Tom
was unable to deliver the Fullerton
postoffice into the hands of the editor.
1t is rumored that McCumber will re.
ward the versatile editor of the Jour
nal with the stampery.
1t should be remembered that the
postoffice at Monango is not in the
presidential class. The present post.
master, Mr.. Warren, is giving very eff.
ficient service, and such promise, il
it was made, would be as empty as
when it was offered two years ago tt
Editor McNeill. We all know wha,
happened to McNeill.
The Oakes times., 1910-05-26

There Was no active opposition to the
bond issue in Oakes until 1t was drawn
into the vortex of politics. Since the
commissioners made the order some
of our most prominent citizens have
been to the county seat and have been
quoted in the Glendale papers as in
favor of the bonds and many who are
now against the bonds in Oakes were
of the opinion that Oakes would vote
solid for the bonds. Why this turn
about-face now? The Times editor has
been consistent in his stand from the
beginning and does not see any business
reason now for being against the bond
issue.
The Oakes times., 1910-05-26

Some opposition to the bonding pro-
position lies in the fact that there are
candidates for county seat honors, and
they want to see the bonds turned
down. The Times editor is one of
those who firmly believes that the
county seat will not be changed, even
should it come to a contest, and the
time and money spent in county seat
fight will be useless expenditure. Of
course no one will welcome county
seat war more than will a newspaper
man.
The Oakes times., 1910-05-26
THE BONDS SHOULD CARRY

The bonds for the new court house
should carry. The Times can not see
the use of voting down the bonds to
start county seat fight that will but
result in Glendale keeping it. If an
issue of $4,000 for ten years will not
carry it would only be the expense of
another election to try and have the
bonds carry for 500, 900 for twenty or
twenty-five years. 1t would just be
double the amount and double the time
to pay. The same amount would have
to be raised each year either way, and
the larger sum and longer time method
would only make it that much harder.
Those who favor the issuance of the
larger amount are merely making it an
excuse to defeat the present PROPOSE
ton. When that was defeated some
other scheme would be brought forth,
and the result would be that in the
muddle the county commissioners would
not be able to decide just what to do,
and the county would 60 on as it is
nova court house that is not COM
mensurate to the needs and standing of
the county, records that are unprotect-
ed from fire, because uncovered in a
building that would burn like tinder if
a fire was once started.
In putting the bond issue before the
people of the county the commissioners
are doing their duty. Each member of
the board has been tried and not found
wanting. They have considered the
proposition from every standpoint and
The Oakes times., 1910-05-26

is, they have been selected by the men
who have domineered our politics for
years to the detriment of the party, men
who have held meetings off and on in
st. Paul, and are backed by the same
interests as is trying to domineer the
politics of the nation as we'll as the
politics of the state. The people are
not going to be fooled again by the
methods of two years ago.

The Journal man is making big
noise these days on the bond issue.
At last he has struck popular vein in
Cakes and Of course must make the
most of it. It is so seldom the Journal
takes decided stand on any question
it is real refreshing to know its editor
has an opinion-even if he has to
borrow it.
The Oakes times., 1910-05-26

If Glendale is promised the support
of Oakes on bonding proposition for
$780, 900, should the present issue be
defeated, how can Fullerton and Mo-
mango hope for any support from here
when "Oakes" is already bartered
away? We do not believe those who
have made such promises can deliver
the goods.
The Oakes times., 1910-05-26

Dickey county does not have to sell
her bonds at a. per cent. The commits
sioners were of the opinion that the
bonds could be floated better at that
rate, and that the premium would be
enough to make the difference between
that and per cent. The state pur-
chased the Sargent county $50, 600 issue
just last month at per cent.

Now that Fullerton has raised the
ante of Monango on the bond PROPOSE
tion it is up to Monango to dig up or
quit the game. If the county seat is
is to be pulled in by the highest bidder,
the stuff is all off. Oakes will be the
next county seat.
