Travellers Tales

short time ago old Bessie wander
ed from the lane and shortly found
herself parading the tracks of the N.
P. railroad tracks were a most Pc
culiar thing to Bessie. They were
queer and rather unordinary. This is
the reason she spent SO much time
there the afternoon that she first dis
covered them-she never made a sec
ond discovery.
While Bessie was exploring the
wonders of the new found land No, 5
came laundering down the track
whistling for clear way ahead. Bos-
sic did not correctly construe the
meaning of the whistle so it became
the painful duty of No. to lift Bessie
out of the way. No was rude and
handled Bessie rudely. but Bessie
never complained
When L. w. Bohen, district claim
agent of the N. P, went out to Ole
Yansen's farm-this was the place
where Bessie had made her home-he
decided that he should secure the best
settlement he could and do the bust
1865 up ia SiOIL OEucES paying dnSeD
whatever he asked for Bossie's hide.
He met Mr.. Yansen, and after talking
about the crops for time approached
the matter of settlement for Bessie.
you see the N. P. realizes what a,
faithful old COW Bessie was. The Of
ficials of the road know perfectly we'll
that she was the playmate of the chill
dren as well as the prize winner for
milk and butter at the North Dakota
state fair. /, myself, will confess that
Bessie was one of the best cows that
have ever seen," was the line of
talk handed about by the diplomatic
claim agent to Ole.
He continued saying: But you I'M
derstand that the COW had no right
on the track. To be on the track at
the time when train is coming was
grlevously wrong for Bessie. You can

FAReoANs SHOULD CONTRIBUTE.


Seventeen, years ago disaster Wis
tied Fargo. 1t was most serious
blow. An appeal was made to the peo-
pie of other states. The cry was not
unheard. Responses were prompt and
liberal Much good was done some OF
the most unfortunate through the re-
lief sent by kindly people from over
the northwest.
A part of Minnesota has been strick-
en- by serious forest fires. Fortunately
later reports indicate the actual loss or
life was a great deal less than at first
estimated-but the property loss ap-
pears to increase with every report.
Hundreds and hundreds of homestead.
ers are destitute. Assistance for these
stricken people will be appreciated.
Having gone through a similar mis-
fortune the people of Fargo can more
readily appreciate the situation in
northern Minnesota. Their purse
strings should be loose and everyone
should help in the good cause.

being in five or six counties in the
western part OF the state with Con-
gresham Hanna. The receptions given
the congressman must have been very
gratifying to him-not only because OF
the bearing ii viii have on his re- cleo
ton this fall--but also as an appre-
citation Of the excellence Of his efforts
at Washington in behalf of the people
of the state.
Z Mr. Hanna need not worry over the
outcome of the election. If all other
candidates in the state were as certain
to win as he there would be little me-
cessity for campaigns, Despite this fact
Mr.. Hanna is making an aggressive
campaign and is endeavoring to cover
all sections Of the state He Is out

~. D. Decision. Reversed.

Madison, Wis, Oct. 1.-THE wis
eonsin supreme court today upheld the
20 per cent provision of the primary
election law. The 20 per cent law re-
quires that candidate in order to
nave his name appear on the official
ballot must have received 20 per cent
Of the total number of party votes cast
at the last preceding general election.
The effect of this decision will be to
prevent the names of number of
democratic candidates who received
less than the required number of votes
from appearing on the official ballot.

clearly see that we could not stop the
train and have the porter go out and
remove Bessie from the track. Fur
thermore, you see that we were power
less to keep Bessie off the track, as
we have no track walkers along this
division. And then again, you should
have kept Bessie within the bounds of

how impossible it was for us to have
saved Bossie's life after she had placed

Trains Going West.
RURKE's EXPENSE ACCOUNT.

y John Burke has his hands into the
treasury of the state of North Dakota
well UP to his elbows. He has three
methods of extracting coin from the
states strong box.
He is permitted a stated salary.
The last legislature increased the
salary of the governor to become eff
fective next January. In the mean
time-that Governor Burke might BE-
provided for-the legislature passed an
expense account to cover the present
two years. This gives Governor Burke
$4,000 more than the office paid during
his first term-and $4,000 more than
the amount of the salary of the office
at the time of his election for this
term.
Through the ready made opinion of
q friendly attorney general Governor
Burke's extra $4,000 was made effec-
tive from the beginning Of the pres
ent term, or two months earlier than
ZIG pAAA SASASu ny hAlA LUZ LAAAS puF-
pose.
This $4,000 was in the bill signed by
Burke to increase his own salary
when he said at the same time he was
compelled to veto other important ap-
preparations.
There was sufficient money to pro-
vide for the extra pay for him-but
not enough, he said, for other needed
appropriations. Burke had to care for
himself first.
But few people know the governor
} has still a third route by which he can
get into the state treasury.
In his speeches over the state the
governor has contended this extra
$4,000 was to pay his expenses in trav-
cling over the country-in represent
ing the people of the state at big
events.
But he didn't tell the voters there
had been for years, a fixed sum pro-
vided by the state for these junketing
trips.
Honest" John was silent on this
feature-when he was endeavoring to
justify his signing the bill for the ex-
ira $4,000.
He didn't tell his audiences that
when he went to the launching of the
battleship North Dakota that he turn
ed in an itenized account of his ex-
penditures, gave the account his own
o. k. and drew sum, himself, from
the state treasury.
Neither does Governor Burke tell his
audiences that when he went to the
meeting Of the governors in Washing
ton he turned in bill which was paid
from this stated fund.
But more particularly was the gov
ernor silent on the fact that he used
this fund-in two instances-after he
had signed the bill awarding himself
$4,000 extra.
The expenses of the governors trips
on such occasions should be paid by,
the state. There is no question as to
that
The Forum merely calls attention to
this extra fund from which his ex-
penses were paid--to show the falsity
Of his assertions in his speeches that
he was forced to sign this $4,000 in
crease bin to provide expenses for trips
on state affairs
provident legislature had done.

to catch the people with his plausible
half truths.
