Why wouldn't it be good idea to
pension P. G. Rocks. instead of having
him year after year draw a salary
for doing the work of Clerk of the
District Court, when the fact is that
his side-partner. Carley. does practi-
cally all his work for him SO that he
may be able to get out on the streets
Of Linton and around the county
working the political game? Will
Rocks be able to fool the people of
Strasburg again this year, as usual?
Have they forgotten how Rocks
when the Clerk of Court vacancy
caused by the death of Major Pitts
was before the board of county COM
missioners went back on Conrad
Kraft of Strasburg. man who
speaks English we'll and is entirely
competent to fill the office. and OBJ
tanned the position for himself?
But, hasn't Rocks always done this
same thing? He has been. support
ed at every election by the German
Democrats, and more than once he
has turned down their candidates
on the ticket. Is any one enough Of
a political greenhorn to imagine for
minute that in the fall campaign
Rocks would support Democratic
candidate against Carley, Naramore
or any of the other Gus Herolz toot-
ers and excusers? If such person
SO believes, he wouldn't long think
SO if he lived here in Linton. where
he could see the continuous perform
ance of the courthouse bunch of
Herolz admirers. We should be only
too pleased to give Boss Rocks space
in the Record to state whether or
not he will next fall double cross
the German Democratic voters by
supporting Carley and opposing
Adam Kraft, and whether or not he
would suppot a Democratic nominee
for the legislature as against his
political friend, Naramore?

The writer recently made a trip
to Bismarck, the beautiful Capital
City of North Dakota. The Slope
metropolis is coming to the front
right along 1t seems to have struck
gait that cannot be headed off.
even with two bad years "in row.
Building and preparations for build
ing are in evidence all over town.
Not only is this true of big business
buildings. but equally SO as to snug
cottage-h homes and more costly and
pretentions residences. To an old
timer it seems like miracle that the
ramshackle over.grown village of q
dozen years ago could have been
converted into such q substantial
city as it now is. There is plenti-
full supply of politics in Bismarck
just at present. as there always is
during campaigns in North Dakota.
One who doesn't go to Bismarck
frequently, and who feels an interest
in politics, should. first thing after
reaching town. see some friend and
get diagram of the latest political
situation. Otherwise, when you
meet man who cussed some certain
politician six months before, he may
now be praising the same chap. And
did'you ever stop to consider. gentle
settler of the early days. that there
seems to have been a complete change
in the politics of many prominent
Republican Bismarckers. and that
pretty nearly every one of them who
was formerly with certain faction
is now with the other. In other
words, every lnsurger used to be q
Stall-Wart and every Stall-Wart used
to be an Insurger. One also notices
that, regardless of previous con-
ditions" as to politics. great many
change their principles as the poll
tics or faction changes at the
Capitol, and it is amusing to hear
job-holders there talk about ma
chimes. ETC.. who never uttered a
yeep regarding anything of politi-
cal character until the job was Sc
cured.

Pspys and the Cook Maid.

There was q servant problem In the
seventeenth century, but 1t raj solved
in a rough and ready fashion. Pepys
records on April IL. 1867, that he came
home, saw my door and hatch open,
left 50 BY Luce, u cook maid. which
90 vexed me that l did give her a kick
In our entry and offered q. blow at her"
Two days afterward lords day.
Pepys writes this: ''Took out my wife
and the two MERGERS and two Of M
maids. Barker and Jane, and over the
water to the Jamaica house, where l
never was before, and there the girls
did run for wagers over the bowling
green, and there with much pleasure
spent little and 80 home" Luce was
not there. but the other maids were
treated as members Of the family.
