CORE VS. PIE.

Our friend ON the Marquette Mining
journal. according to an editorial
which appeared in the issue OF last
Tuesday, fears that someone has drawn
the rich, red blood OF The Diamond
Drills OK and smeared il all over
everything connected herewith. We
are surprised that common, every
day OK should be suspected at this sea
son OF the year when there are so many
bull moose running about and the
hunting season wide-open but that .
what the Mining Journal says--our OK
is gored. it's all because IN our adver-
tislng last week Clarence ID. Dryer,
who is the democratic candidate for
prosecuting attorney of this county
paid for a double column half tone
while August J. .Wafenw, no is the re-
publican candidate, paid for only a
small campaign card half-tone. BE
tween the lines one can read that the
Mining Journal editor reasoned the
difference in the size Of the halt-tone
TO be boiling Of Mr.. Waffen by The
Diamond Drill in favor of Mr.. Dryer,
who happens to be associated in the
law business with Mr.. Moriarty one
OF the owners Of this paper but who Is
wholly apart from the management.
In order that our friend may not
misunderstood us we wish to set him
right at the ontset viz, The Diamond
Drill endeavors to be consistently re-
publican that IL is giving what slight
influence II possesses to the republican
ticket from top TO bottom, including
Mr. Watfen; that ID is in the publish
ing business. the same as the Mining
journal, and sells its space to any per-
son who has printable Advertising at
its regular rates whether that adver-
tislng bs for pair OF sox or candi-
date for probate judge. Mr.. Dryer
does not expect The Diamond Drill 10
support him and it would not do so II
he did for the simple reason that this
is a republican paper and II we ever
find il necessary to change our politics
it will not be because OF any pique over
a party candidate.
This may seem strange 10 the Mining
Journal for in our twenty years OF &C
quaintance with our esteemed friend
we have seen him lined up with what
ever party seemed to be in the ascen-
dancy. When Grover Cleveland was
dealing out the pie the Mining Jour
nal was feasting on simon pure stuff.
When the republicans got back into
grace it changed its diet and got its
front ieet well anchored in the
trough. Now that the bull moose
seems to our friend to be the bright
specK on the horizon it Is scurrying off
after hind quarter steak.
No. my friend. We have no kick
coming. The dear peepul. whom the
Mining Journal se.s mp as the right
full arbiter Of all that is great, M
lifting and ennobling in political life
have selected Mr.. Waffen as the candi-
date on the republican ticket and what
suits the majority OF the people suits

TAX COMMISSION HELD A REVIEW

missioner Merschon asked ii the fact
that there is a tax commission would
not remedy that shortcomIng and Mr.
Conlin replied that he thought not uu-
less yearly inspection should be had
of each and every property. In justi-
ficaticn of his opinion he cited the fact
that in 1901 the state tax commission
came to this county and increased the
valuations of the mining properties OF
the county but that in very short
time thereafter the mining properties
were back where they were before the
raise.
The review was continued all
through the day. The only item of i'm
terest coming up in the hearing OF the
mining representatives being the OBJ
lection filed by Supt. Lawrence OF the
Verona properties on the valuation
placed upon Stambaugh township.
He presented list of figures show
ing that Stambaugh township paid last
year AZ per cent of the tax Of ron
county and he said that il is an injus-
tice to that township to continue that
condition adding that no person ac-
quainted with the conditions would
trade the other seven assessing districts
for the StambauRh district The com.
missioners were quite interested in the
table and filed it away for reference.
When the Amasa- Porter property was
called Mr.. Rose OF the Porter Land
company took the stand. He had no
objections to hle against either the
Amasa- Porter or Mastodon valuations
but asked leave to file objection to the
valuation placed upon several thousand
acres of mineral reservation that his
company owns. In this protest he was

who introduced the present laborers

HOW BLAlsDELL STANDS.

Minot Democrat: The fact that
Hon. Alfred Blaisdell has the undi-
vided support of every newspaper in
his home city as we'll as in Ward
county in his candidacy for congress
is evidence of the respect in which
he is held by the people who know
him best. Both his opponents who
live in Minot are prominent men and
stand high in the regard Of their fel-
low citizens but it rs generally coh-
coded that Mr. Blaisdell has by far
the best show to win at the primar-
les. 1t is an opportunity for this Sec
ton Of the state to elect congress.
man-and one we may never have
again. While Mr.. Blaisdell will ably
and faithfully represent his whole dis
trict yet the interests of western
North Dakota are almost identical
and the strongest man should have
the support of the republican voters.
Mr.. Blaisdell is not a man of wealth
nor is he even in moderate circum-
stances. 1t is true that he held the
office of secretary of state for two
terms and it is also true that many
county offices pay larges salaries than
he received from the state The ex-
penses of living at Bismarck and
maintaining the dignity of state Of
hce were undoubtedly more than his
salary

REGISTER BAD CHARACTERS
Government Plans to Keep Track Of
Inmates Of Resorts,

inmates OF Resorts.
CHICAGO, May 14.-Registratio of
improper characters in many cities
will be undertaken by the federal gov
eminent as part of a country wide
crusade against the white lsave"
evil, according to Stanley w. Finch,
chief Of the bureau Of INVESTIGATION of
the department of justice, who has ar
rived in Chicago. The government
plans to keep register of all inmates
of disorderly resorts in all cities of
more than 1000 population, and by co.
operation with the police maintain a
close record of the movement of this
class from one city to another. To
do this An extra force of 1000 special
agents will be necessary, and con-
gress will be asked for special ap-
preparation of 100000.
In Chicago ten special agents will
be appointed to look after this work.
Attorney General Wickersham de-
cided to adopt this policy of dealing
with the evil at recent conference of
government officials recently held in
Washington, and it is expected the
plan will be in operation in a few
months.
Chief Investigator Finch, who will
take personal charge of the work, will
visit every large city in the country
to arrange for putting the system in
operation.
