Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1910-06-16


the effort Of Herolz 4 Co. TO throw
a big list of lands held by the county
TO the Hackney Boynton Land Com
pany for less than the face OF the
tax and penalty owing on such lands,
whether it was illegal bridge-letting
by kurtz & Company. or any other
peculiar proposition Of public ma
ture the editor OF this paper has be-
lieved it to be his duty to oppose it
and to make the matter public to
the people of Emmons county. OF
course a program Of this kind has
made us enemies of those whom we
criticised. And do you suppose for
a minute. Brother Thurston. that. il
the editor of the Record had not
been extremely careful to verify ev-
cry charge he has made in the differ
ent schemes he has antagonized. he
would not long ago have been pro-
ceeded against for LIBEL

We are willing to admit that we
could have led much less strenuous
existence during the past quarter OF
a century had we been willing. like
the editor of our esteemed contem-
porary. to say nothing and saw
wood" to grin at all creation, to
strive to make everybody believe we
loved him better than anybody else.
and to drop one friend as soon as we
found that another could do more
for US. But we prefer the course we
have adopted however much it may
displease the editor Of the Republi-
can-to the course he has pursued.
| Until there was danger to his pres
ent political job Of making insurg-
ent medicine in Enmons county at
state expense in exchange for posi-
lion. and against his former political
friends, ne had neger expressed Al
opinion IN his pape, ab.au. AWNING

matter We said the majority Ut the
board OF county commissioners u
two years ago the ones Who ran
things took illegal action BY which
the taxpayers Of this county we're
beaten out OF more than thousand
dollars. We gay 20 now. We said
that such contracts should be let 10
the highest bidder according u law.
and. while accusing no one u graft.
we said that such an illegal course
opened large possibilities for graft.
We say so now. And now, too, such
bids are let according TO law We
said that, while refusing 10 do JUS
tlce to the petitioners for proper
road facilities in the Winona neigh
borhood. Commissioner S. f.. Kurtz
advised a number Of such petition
ers to cut the wire fence across such
road. We say so now; and. although
we understand Mr.. kurtz privately
denies It, if he will deny it in print
we WIN give in print the names Of
our informasts. No. Brother Thurs
