Garrison Piggers
Were Tfpped-0
Garrison Was Soon Cleaned Out, but
Who Let the Cat Out Of the
Bag?-Were "Wise"

Word was received here Monday
that the sheriff was coming to Gar
rison, and in very few moments
after the message was received not
blind pig was visible in our city!
says the Independent. Is it any
wonder that an officer of the
law cannot do his duty when petty
offenders of every description are
assisted by SO many confederates
who are wise to the movements at
both ends of the game? 1t is a
shame to say it, but it is neverthe-
less fact that there are citizens
right in our midst who are shelter
ing the blind-pigger and the gam
bier and who never hesitate to tip
them off when they learn Of pro-
posed visit by an officer of the law
Will the time ever come when the
minds of otherwise respectable cit
liens will cease to be distorted, aud
their sense Of right SO benumbed
as to harbor in their midst a hord
of worthless loafers who prey off
their fellow men and give nothing
in return-not even thanks for the
tolleration? Their very presence
is contamination to all decency. 1t
is simply matter of the education
of the people against the liquor.
The people who help to harbor this
worthless element have no respect
for them, in reality, and would not
be seen associating with them, but
it is what they have for sale that
appeals to the citizen. Their de-
sire for the liquor overcomes their
respect for law and decency. When
the time comes that people will no
longer allow their depraved appe-
tites to rule, then the selling of
liquor in defiance of law will cease,
and not before.

Washburn School Notes

The Washburn city schools will
open for the l91O.'ll term on next
Tuesday, September 9th. The ne.
cessary repairs are now being made
on the building, and everything is
being put in readiness for the years
work. In order to obtain best re.
suits, every effort should be made
to have pupils enter promptly at
the opening of the term. Every
pupil should bring his or her re.
port card on entering and those
having state or county completion
certificates in any subjects should
bring them also. Such action is
more advisable for the reason that
the entire teaching force will be
new in Washburn.
Pupils will be classified in &C.
cordance with the records left by
last years faculty, and will be
placed in the classes to which they
we're promoted. or in which they
were retained, as the case may be-
High school work will be offered
in accordance with the require.
ments of the North Dakota state
high school manual, and every ef-
fort will be made to suit the work
in this department to the needs OF
the students and at the same time
avoid a multiplicity of classes, and
thus give sufficient time for each
individual class. 1t is to be hoped
that sufficient number will elect
some science study, such as botany,
to insure a rousing interest in such
work. The first three years of Eng
lish will be offered; also mathemat-
ical branches, as Algebra and per-
haps Plane or Solid Geometry. In
the languages, work will be open
in German and Latin as also in
Caesar or Cicero provided a sufic-
iently large number elect these
branches. Other courses, such as
history and civil government will
be arranged in accordance with
the regulations of the state High
School Board and the needs of the
students will be taken into consid.
Grafton in as far as possible.
