BURKE AND sTocKWELL.

Have there been frauds in the man
agement of the North Dakota school
lands?
Have they been exposed?
If the attention of Governor Burke
had been called to frauds would it
be his duty to investigate them2
If evidences of frauds in school lands
had been submitted to Superintendent
of Public instruction Suockwell-would
he be expected to investigate the mat
rer-or smother it up?
If charges of fraudulent school land
transactions had been submitted TO the
state board-of which Governor Burke
is member and when he was present
would his oath of Office impel him to
ferret out the offenders-or would he
: ignore the charges just because friends
were involved?
II, having been cognizanr of the
charges of crooked work, while he was
a member of the board-the governor
later appointed one of the benefciaries
to high office-would that be right,
even IL the appointee had financed the
governors campaign?
These are some questions that nat
urally arise following the investigation
of certain school land matters that have
been brought before the state board
of public lands of which Superintendent
Stockwell is the head and Governor
Burke is a member.
There is every reason to believe
there have been fraudulent practices
In connection with the sale af school
lands-that deals have been made
through which prominent men got the
choicest section of school lands in a.
certain county in the state at the min
irnum price-when others stood ready
to bid.
1t seems that these lands were sold
after regular hours-following the an
nouncement the tracts would not be
offered at that saIe-and later certain
favored individuals were permitted to
profit thereby.
In this deal, it appears that both re-
publicans and democrats participated
and prohted. a+t ~ 5
The charges were made within the
last year, however. but SO far as the
public is concerned no estigation Is
known to have been made. 49,
The matter has been brought to the
attention of Governor Burke and Sup
erintendent Stockwell. No publicity or
prosecution resulted. The only official
action, II any, that was taken, has ap-
parently been to screen and protect
the guilty parties-because some of
them, at least were close to Governor
Burke. One Of these men was after
wards selected by the executive for
q high honor.
VIII Governor Burke deny the mat
ter was brought to the attention OF the
board OF public lands? If not. will he
tell the voters and taxpayers of the
state whether he has officially acted7
VIII ne tell the public whether he has
been true or recreant to the trust inn
posed I'm him? VIII he inform the
people OF North Dakota whether ne has
kept his cath OF once or violated TT

PUBLICATION NOTES

The March number of Hampton's
Magazine is even better than those
two remarkable specimens of high
class American publications, the Janu-
airy number and the February number
and gives this new brilliant periodical
right to it's trademark, The Best
Magazine in America. Leading off
this month is an article by Charles
Edward Russell which gives some
sensational facts about the Chaos and
Bomb Throwing in Chicago. The
famous Peary North Pole narrative
continues. The third big feature is
Admiral Evans final article on the
Panama canal in which, with emphatic
vigorous and vicious accuracy he at
lacks the railroads of this country fol-
trying to block the progress and sue
cess of this great waterway. In: pur-
suing their attack upon the sugar
trust, the editors of Hampton's this

ymous, to have an airing i'm fictional
form. Following this story is an ex-
quisite poem, The Ballad of the Com
forting by Theodosia Garrison. Among
the articles The Making of *, the
Wool Schedule, is a striking analysis
of the system whereby a small group
of men decide not only what we must
pay for our clothes, but how little
wool we may have in them and who
may participate il the profit Judge
Lindsey's autobiography intensifes as
