Hon. Oar s. Hall WRONGLY accnsad

Hon. Oar S. Hall has been accused
OF inefficiency and wasting govern
ment funds in the removal of Mile
Laos indians to the White Earth
reservation. The accusation is un-
founded. Mr.. Hall used every effort
to carry out his instructions and ac-
complished as much as any man could
under the circumstances. In an inter-
view published in the Pioneer Press
Mr.. Hall is quoted as saying.
u g entered the service in 1909 for
the purpose of moving the Indians
from the Mile Lacs reservation to the

service two years, but only one year
and eight months. In that time I

OveryTorking the Frank.

Clapp, and, it is announced, is being
sent out under the senator's frank,
La Toilette literature is being sent
out under the same frank from the
progressive republican league head
quarters in Minneapolis, it is re-
ported. It is use of the privilege for
just such purposes that convinces
many that the frank should be
abolished. There is no reason why
the postal service should be burdened
with the expense OF carrying on the
campaign efforts even of members of
congress. The theory on which the
free use of the mails is granted is that
it will result advantageously to the
people. It is being used to further
the ends of the politicians.
A few months ago a representative
IN congress, under the guise of max
ing an address in connection with the
selection of the city in which the
Panama exposition should be held,
had incorporated into the Record a
long list Of advantages of his own
home city. The speech was printed
and circulated as a population-getter
for his own city. That is only one
of many abuses of the franking privi-
lege in addition to the campaign
burden loaded on to the postofice de-
partment every two years. Meantime,
postal officials are discussing the ad-
visibility of increasing the rate on
second-class matter in order to meet
the expenses of the department. They
might get some interesting data by in
quiring Of the people whether the pub
lie would rather pay more postage on
it's periodicals or have the supply OF
campaign literature curtailed.- st.

SOCIAL GATHERINGS.

Wedding of rlr. and rIrs. Plaas
and Heine is a Suspect.

The third meeting of the "earIy
timers" of Princeton was held last
Saturday at the home of Mrs. Mary
Rines. AS it was the eve of St.
Patrick's birthday, the hostess had
planned refreshments and arranged
her table in a manner to symbolic
the day, and as a surprise to her
guests. That it was a success, both
as being unexpected and from an
artistic point of view, was fully at.
tested by the cries of surprise and ad.
miration which escaped the lips of the
company as they entered the dining

A harp was suspended above the

with candies and displaying the flag

themselves into "society" and
bestowed upon themselves name:

also decided that meeting should be
held once each month, and the
members are already looking forward

SPLENDID PROGRAM
St. Patrick's Entertainment Given bv
ST. Edwards Congregation is
Enjoyed by Audience.
Rev. Father Levings Delivers an Able
Address and rlusicaI Numbers
Are Finely Executed.

The St. Patrick's entertainment,
given under the auspices of the con-
gregation of St. Edwards Catholic
church, was treat in the true sense
of the word, although it was not as
largely patronized as it should have
been. A program was presented
which did great credit to the individ-
ual members who took part-it was
a program carefully prepared with
due regard to its appropriateness.
An orchestral selection opened the
entertainment and this was admirably
rendered. Following came the prin-
cipal address of the evening by Rev.
Father Levings, who selected for his
subject, "The Day We Celebrate. -
The orator, who is we'll versed in all
the details of ancient history, gave a
splendid talk on Ireland in the early
days and the great progress it has
made. His address was virtually a
history Of the Irish nation, and no
man is qualified to handle the subject
better than be.
A selection by the choir and reci-
tation by Forrest McVicar followed
and both we're we'll rendered, Mr.. Nc
Vicar demonstrating that he, like his
father, is we'll cut out for a dramatic
reader. He is chip of the old block.
Mrs. G. A. Galley, in her very best
style, rendered a vocal solo, "Mother
McCree," and responded to an encore,
and Miss Scheen admirably executed
a difficult piano solo. A pretty
chorus by seventeen little girls fol-
lowed and an orchestral selection
then enlivened the audience.
Ten small boys then gave a choral
number in excellent manner and
military drill, the precision of which
even impelled Cap. Galley to clap his
hands.
A recitation by Grace Dugan, vocal
SOLO by Mrs. c. A. Galley, selection
by brass quartet, choral number
and orchestral selection completed the
program.
This entertainment exce]led any of
a like nature ever presented in Prince
ton, and all who attended speak in
high praise of the excellence of the
program.

Rev. DR.. Jordan, who lectures at

evening, is very highly spoken CT by
the press of the country. From a
score or more notices, all eulogistic,
we reproduce the following:
Much was expected of DR.. Jordan's
lecture, but more was received. It
was rare combination of hunor and
pathos, wit and logic. AS a story
teller Mr.. Jordan is inimitable; his
power of description is wonderful. It
was unquestionably one of the finest
lectures ever delivered from western

Town officers and Road Taxes,


All town officers elected at annual
town meeting are required to qualify
within ten days after their notification
by the town clerk; anyone who voted
at the election is presumed to have
been notified.
Road overseers must file. their ac-
ceptance with the town clerk.
Any town officer who enters upon
the duties of his Office before taking
the oath required by law shall forfeit
to the town the sum of $50.
Failure to file oath and bond within
the time prescribed by law shall be
deemed refusal to serve.
Within 20 days (not later than
March 30 this year) after the annual
town meeting town boards are re-
quired to meet and assess the poll tax
also the road tax on real and per-
sonal property. Every male between
the ages OF 2l and so is liable for poll
tax. A road tax on real and personal
property not exceeding one dollar on
each one hundred dollars of assessed
value may be levied.
Town boards are authorized to lew
an additional road tax, payable IN
money, over and above the amount
voted at town meeting. Here is the
language of the statute:
"After an annual town meeting has
voted the assessment of any road tax,
the board may further assess the
property Of said town not to exceed
five mills on the dollar, on the last
assessed valuation thereof, and if
they so assess they shall certify the
same to the auditor for extension and
collection, and before the same is COL
lected they may pledge the credit of
the town by issuing town orders, not
exceeding the tax so assessed, to the
expense of road and brid GO work.
Hence town boards are authorized
and empowered to assess not less
than one nor more than four days
labor, road tax on all real and per-
sonal property not exceeding one dol
lar on each hundred dollars assessed
value, payable in labor at the option
OF the taxpayer, and in addition five
mills on the dollar on the assessed
valuation payable in money same as
other taxes.

Did Hetne Dope the Salad:

Friday was Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Plass' wooden wedding anniversary,
and the occasion was duly celebrated
by the members of the ''cut-up" club,
who assembled at the apothecary s
home for that especial purpose. AS
is customary upon such occasions,
card playing and feasting constituted
the principal features of the celebra-
tion, but there we're little side issues
which added largely to the merrinent.
For instance, Heine Plass danced a
Holland jig in pair of wooden shoes
which be brought from the old country
and, in endeavoring to perform the
"tullp twist" slipped and fell, his
abnormal nasal protuberance narrow
ly escaping coming into contact with
the punch bowl. Then Ira Stanley
sang, "When the Frost is on the
Pumpkin or rather sang one verse
Of it, when be was ruled out of order
by Toastmaster Tom Kaliher and
jerked into his seat by Frank Gould
ing. Doc McRae then asked per-
mission to speak on "The Teeth of
the Ancient Egyptians Found in the
Pyramids," but was very properly re-
fused and had to content himself with
singing a solo, "Baby's Cut An
other Tooth.'' o. B. Randall, it
seems, monkeyed with the toast
masters chair by attaching an
electric wire thereto and, just as Tom
was raising a goblet of sherbet to his
lips-during Lent Tom never drinks
coffee-the current was turned on and
the table almost upset. Tom jumped
four feet into the air..
Mrs. Plass provided an excellent
supper and, among other things,
there was a liberal supply of chicken
salad. All the guests, with the excep.
tion of Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Kaliher,
partook of q quantity of this delicacy
and later wished they had not, for, it
is alleged, Heine Plass, who is skill
full compounder of harmless medi-
cines, secretly doctored the salad.
But then it was merely a joke and no
one suffered any i'll effects therefrom.
Z Those present at the celebration
were Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar Stark, Mr..
and Mrs. Ira G. Stanley, Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Keith, Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Avery, Mr.. and Mrs. A. r.
Davis, Mr.. and Mrs. T. j. Kaliher,

and Mrs. Henry Plass, Mr.. and Mrs.

Gently we have noticed that papers
published on the same day in different
localities contain the same Identical
editorials. For instance, here is an

which appeared in three papers that
came to our notice last Friday-the
article is clipped from the Inter-Lake
Tribune, published at Browns Valley,
in Traverse county: - sa...-
ST. PATRICK',S DAY.
., St. Patrick is a character so over
flowing with optimism and good
humor that he commands a general
interest to an extent rare with any
racial hero. Protestants frequently
show friendly sympathy by wearing
the bit of green, and they might we'll
also learn something of the traditions
of the day.
Patrick kindles the enthusiasm of
every Irishman, perhaps for one
reason because of dauntless cour-
age that is very typical of the race.
Traditions say that in Patrick's
day the idol Cromcruach was
worshiped by King Tigernas and bis
mobiles and people, with the highest
veneration. Yet disregarding pains
and penalties of courts and kings,
Patrick lifted up his staff when
approaching the image of gold and
silver, and commanded the devil to
come out of him. Thereupon the
image fell over, and twelve smaller
idols we're swallowed up in the. earth.
And so in after years, the genius of
the Irish race has never stopped to
count the cost of defiance to DO
tentates or enemies. The rolls of our
soldiers have always been thickly
strewed with Irish names, and no
strain of blood can be found more
largely in the American National
Guard or the regular army and navy
today.

Positively the Last Word.


The q ion is in receipt of a
lengthy communication relative to
village affairs which we respectfully
decline to publish. Election is over
aud there is nothing to be gained by
a prolonged discussion of what is
passed. Boiled down, the sum and
substance of our correspondents
effusion amounts to this: He claims,
and the records sustain his conten-
ton, that the old council-the Ferrell
council-in 1910 levied a tax of Sc, 900,
$4,000 more than had ever before been
levied in any previous year, and that
the Pennison council had the benefit
of the 1910 tax levy; hence be asserts
that, had it not been for the extra
$4,000 levied in 1910 the net indebted
ness of the village would have been in
creased to So, TIP. 72 this year instead
of $l,772.72, as set forth in the
Union. If the total tax levied in
1910 had been collected our corre-
spondent would be correct. But the
published statements show that the
receipts for the year ending March l.,
1912, we're ST, ,S54.92 greater than the
receipts for the year ending March l,
1911, hence if the increase in taxes is
taken into consideration, the net in
debtedness of the village was in
creased during the year ending March
l, 1912, So, 582.64, and not So, 772.72 as
our correspondent claims.
