AFFECTED HISTORY OF WORLD
Influence of Jean jacques Rousseau
May Be Traced to Trivial
Incident In Boyhood.

In a village school In Boissey, Swift
zerand, one day in the first quarter
OF the eighteenth century, Jean
Jacques Rousseau, then a ten-year-old
boy, was severely chastised because
he was suspected of having broken
teeth in comb which did not belong
TO him. He WAS innocent, and the
most terrible punishment could not
wiring from him an untrue confession.
The boy did not stop to reason that
there was strong circumstantial evil
dence to justifY suspicion In his direc.
tlon. He felt only the rigor Of fright
ful chastisement for an offense of
which he was gulltless. And the as.
sociation of ideas was permanent: a
Iastlng Impression was left on him.
me one Idea which ever remained
strange to him, and which he resist
ed In theory and practice, was that OF
duty. Unable to identify himself with
the society In which he lived, he fail
ed to appreciate the obligations to
ones fellows which are the hest
part OF human life.
Yet his Influence for good was felt
IS Still being felt. II may be traced
10 the current political movements
IN France. in England and even in
america. He struck out for the
rights OF the many against the few
against plutocracy and self,shness. He
demanded that the people should rule.
ana that same demand is being urged
throughout the civilized world today,

In the light of Senator Massey's

vote for him? His vote was
directly against the people he re-

county officer, and from the facts
submitted below, we will let the
voters of Elko county determine
Mr.. Greenhouses fitness for the
office he occupies. One of the
principal duties IF auditor is to see
that no illegal hill against the
county is allowed and paid. In
another article In this issue,
we have shown some thing of Mr..
Greenhouses appreciation of the
obligation of this duty.
Examination of the county re-
cords since Mr.. Greenhouses in
cumbencv in office, show that he
has vetoed bills aggregating
$5.823.15. Of this amount, SIS,
S04.75 was passed over Mr.. Great
houses veto, and warrants repre-
senting this amount were drawn by
him, presented to the county
treasurer, and paid. Now, in the
matter of Mr.. Greenhouses veto of
the remainder of this $5.823.l5,
amounting to $3.50 this SIS.4O
was saved to the county through
Mr. Greathouse vigilance.
Of this $lS.4O, $1,000 represent
ed bill for extra clerk hire, in
another office which bill was pre-
sented without the consent, and
against the order of the principal,
and when vetoed, as it properly,
was by Mr.. Greathouse, was never
presented tn the commissioners for
subsequent action. Whether Mr..
Graathouse is always as scurpulous
in regard to extra compensations
arnnud the court house, can be
deduced from another article in
this issue.
The remaining $40 was due, in
whole or in part for fees ard ex-
penses of an officer in connection
with an arrest; and Will the
officer may not have been legally
entitled to the fees, he was with
out doubt morally entitled to
them, but Mr.. Greathouse very
properly, in view of the law cover
ing the premises, vetoed the bill,
and prevented this looting of the
treasury. We have heard upon
different occasions that the $1,000
veto mentioned above has at differ
ent times, and in different places
been magnified until it reached the
sum of $4,000, but the Indepen-
dent is without actual proof to sub
stantiate this.
Of the $5,S04.75 vetoed by Mr.
Greenhouse, subsequently, passed by
the Board Of County Commission
ers in accordance with law, and
later paid by the county, $4,000
vas for moneys expended ut Gold
Circle, in the building IF roads,
and it was admitted by all concern
ed, including Mr., Greathouse, that
the claim was moral obligation
upon Elko county and one which
the county received full value.
The remaining 5,3O4.75 repre-
sented three items paid at different
times to H. H. Weeks, for fees as
architect on the court house.
? Mr.. Greathouse's idea in vetoiny
these bills, amounting to $5,3O4 rs,
If sincere, must nave been because
he believed the claims illegal, and
ones whose payment should be
resisted. 1t is true that Mr.. Great
house did all that the law re-
quired him to do, when he vetoed
the bills, but If Mr.. Greath0use
was sincere in his desire to save
the county a sum Of SIS, BOATS, a
mere perfunctory veto was rot the
means to employ, for he must
well know that the statute provides
q remedy whereby the legality of
these claims could have been decid-
ed in court and their payment pre-
vented, if they we're illegal.
1t is true that It wa not incum.

GOOD o ASSURED.

MANNING, July 13.-During the
past week a generous amount of rain
has fallen on several occasions all
over the Slope country, and the pros
poets for a large crop were never
brighter than at the present time.
Grain in this locality is just now
heading out in good shape and there
is nov sufficient moisture in the
ground to properly cure it. The rains
have brought the early and late flax
in good shape and a bountiful yield
is expected from the large acreage
in Dunn county. There is also a
noticeable increase in corn acreage
this year, and this crop bids fair to
mature in good season and furnish an
abundance of good feed. From all
parts of the county come reports of
the excellent prospects

constant newspaper agitation, inves-
legations by two Senate committees
and committee of the Illinois legisla-
ture, millions of words of testimony
and scores of speeches have kept the
last of Lorimer before the public
charges and counter charges Of brib-
cry and corruption, elimination and
recrimination, indictments, trials and
confessions galore have filled the his
tory Of the case. Today's vote in the
senate ended one of the most sensa-
tional. legislative imbreglios that the
country has ever known.
1t began on April 30, 1910, about a
year after the election Of Lorimer to
the Senate, with the publication in
the Chicago Tribune Of q story by
Charles A. White, q member Of the
Illinois legislature, exposing corrup-
ton in that body and charging that
| White had been bribed to vote for
Lorimer for senator. Lorimer was
elected by a combination Of Demo-
Gratis and Republicans in the legisla-
ture. Shortly after the publication
| Of the White story the new senator
arose in the Senate chamber and de-
manded an investigation Of his cleo
| ton. A Senate investigation was or.
| dered and q committee headed BY
Senator Burrows (Republican, Michi-
GAM took up the task. For nearly
four months, September to December,
1910, the committee took testimony at

mer. A minority report, however.
presented by Senator Beveridge OF
Indiana sustained the charges against
Lorimer. After a lengthy debate In
the course Of which Lorimer delivered
a biographical speech defending HIM
SELF, the majority report was adopted
by the Senate on March 1, 1911, by
| a vote Of as to 40, five not voting.
Meantime the case had startled I'LL
nois and the state was ablaze with
the developments. Indictment after
! indictment was found against the
members of the legislature which
elected Lorimer. White had confess
ed that he was given $1,000 by Rep.
resentative Lee O'Neil Browne, the
: Democratic leader Of the legislature,
and 5000 by Representative Robert Q.
Wilson to vote for Lorimer. Browne
was indicted for bribery. At his first
trial the jury disagreed and at the
second trial he was acquitted. Charges
Of jury bribing in connection with his
acquittal we're made but a jury which
tried the bribery case disagreed. Rep
resentatives Wilson and Michael $.
Link were indicted for perjury.

ure for Bismarck

The federal government makes lit
tie noise when it gets ready to do
things. Outside of the fact that a
federal building was to be built in Bis.
marck, the government had little to
say OF the kind of a building, outside
of the amount of money it had to
spend. So people here did not realize
wnat a fine building their Uncle Sam
was about to present them. They
are just now beginning to receive
what a beautiful addition the new
government building will be to the
many fine buildings in the business
district. AS the big boom of the i'm
mense derricks swing to and fro, up
and down, under the skilled hand of
expert engineers, carrying their bur-
dens of stone and steel, and expert
mechanics stand ready to receive the
burden and put it in place the build
ing is fast assuming size and shape.
The guiding hand Of all the work is
August Palm. Mr.. Palm is a quiet
man. He does not believe in talking
much. He. has little 70 say to his
crew, but what he does say counts.
He works with his head, and every
thing done on the big building, from
the time the first load of dirt was re-
moved has fitted in and worked out
with te plans of the building, SO that
v e to the novice in building the
careful planning of the work by Mr..
Palm is evident in everything. That
the government does not intend to
have it's work sighted is very evident.
It's plans and specifications must be
fulfilled. So It, too, has a represent.
alive. Moving about the building, Qui-
city, and in an u%nassuming manner is
seen the tall erect form of the gov
eminent superintendent, Mr.. Henry
Brack. He too says little. An OBJ.
server would not think from his &C
tons, that behind him was the power
of Uncle Sam. He too speaks quiet
ly, but like the words of Mr.. Palm,
they are listened to and needed.
There is little questitn but what the
government will receive what it is
paying for.
When completed the building will
be a handsome stone structure. II
| will be full three stories, with q high
basement and an attic. The attic will
will be formed in the space made by
the French roof. The roof will be OF
red tile, which will be a pleasing con.
trast to the while of the main build
ing. Room will be provided in the
interior, not only for the post office,
but United States court, with rooms
for attorneys, marshalls, and jury
rooms. These will be on the second
floor. On the third floor will be the
United States Land Office. Rooms
will also be provided for United
| States Commissioner. Oficials Of the
Bureau of Animal Industry and Civil
service examinations. The people OF
Bismarck will always be proud of the
new government building, and well
they may be.

United States Senate had exhonerat
ed Loriner. While this commission
was in session, Clarence s. Funk
general manager of the international
Harvester Company, testified that he
had been asked by Edward Hines, the
wealthy lumberman, who had been
closely interested in the Lorimer case
in the Senate to give $4,000 OF a
100000 fund to help put Lorime1
over at Springfield" This created
another sensation and resulted in the
re-opening Of the case in the Senate.
A special committee of eight began a
demonstration Of the case. Once
more the stories of alleged bribery
and corruption we're dragged out and
nearly one hundred and sixty wit
nesses were examined.
Meantime Lorimer took his place
daily in the Senate chamber and con
Quoted his own defense against the
charges that that place had been
bought.
The second committee headed by
Senator Dillingham; Of Vermont
brought In q majority report again
generating Lorimer and a minority
report condemning him.
Again the debate began and fol
months the matter was under discus
sion. Finally an agreement was
reached that a vote be taken on the
Legislative day" of July 6th-last
Saturday. But the debate again grew
bitter and by recessing instead Of ad
journing the Senate kept itself on thu
legislative day Of July 9Th until today
when the final vote was reached.
Throughout the second investiga
ton Senator Lorimer's. health faile'
rapidly. At one time he was kept a
his home in Chicago for weeks, hi
physician refusing to allow him to re
turn to Washington. For this reason
the consideration of the second repor
in the Senate was delayed from weel
to week, to allow him time to appeal
in his own defense. He has beel
constantly in his place in the Senate
however, since the time for q vot'
was fixed.

GOOD CROP OF RYE.

Capt. /. p. Baker has demonstrated
his ability as a farmer. Last year
he planted his farm near this city to
flax. The dry weather was more
favorable to Russian thistle than flax,
and last fall he had the most beauti-
full crop Of that weed that you would
care to see. Here is where MI. Baker
proves himself a real farmer. After
looking 1t over he gave his order to
SOW winter rye on the thistle field.
This year he has a wonderful crop
Of winter rye just ready to cut, and
the field is entirely free of the pest.
