prosecution fail, the information, the warrant, was merely a
mistake, and was not true. In cTlticisIng a court or other
body, how can one do other than allegea motive, based on the
prima facie evidence at hand? In the practice Of the law, it
is Nor a crime, but the universal rule, to set up the motive
as the cause of action. In the case of Cruzen, above, the
court seems to hold that crcunstantial proof of his motive to
control politics by protesting to control the Capital News was
stronger than his direct proof that he had no such control
Under this line of proof, not one accused in a million could
escape conviction: not even the court could escape. Might
not a court follow the usual theory of law and evidence when
itself is accused? Might not a court call in unprejudlced
judges, free from passion, free from vengeance, free from the
spirit that makes this verdict repugnant, and give the action
the semblance of real trial on the evidenced
No one should think that this case affects merely the news

MISTAKE THAT is GENERAL
Too Often Time is Wasted Consider
ing Difficulties Instead Of Per-
forming Allotted Task.

When a hard thing is to be done the
natural inclination of most Of us is to
allow ourselves to think on the effort
necessary to do it, instead of going
ahead and doing it.
And here we make one OF the most
common mistakes in our lives.
When one is confronted by :. severe
task Of duty which seems almost be-
You'd ones powers, it is fatal to pause
to consider its difficulties.
Never mind how hard it ma seem.
nothing can be tolerated in the mind
except the consideration of ways of
accomplishing it.
The secret of accomplishment lies
in the answer of the urchin who was
asked if he thought he would get the
woodchuck for which he was ener-
~getically digging: Get him? Why.
man, I've got to get him; the minis
ter's coming to dinner and there amt
no meat in the housed"
1t is q wise economy in daily life
to train the mind to take the attitude
of determination in the beginning, to
be deaf to the self which insists upon
dwelling upon difficulties, and at once
to bring into action the self thaf is
determined to succeed.
Most persons have had the expert
ence of looking back over an o
Dlished task with amused surprise at
the exaggerated idea they entertained
of it beforehand. Do the thing first
and consider its difficulty afterward.

Blind Potatoes.

Everyone knows, of course, that po-
tatoes have eyes, but it may be news
that they are sometimes afflicted with
blindness. A recent publication of an
English agricultural authority makes
the assertion that some potatoes are
afflicted with blindness, and says the
disease is SO called on account Of its
completely destroying the eyes of tn
bers, making them worthless for seed.

PRISONER HAD
been RELEASED
Deputy Sheriff Ed Barnes
Returns from Wisconsin
Without Coma

Deputy Sheriff Ed. Barnes, who left
Saturday for Two Rivers, Wis, with
a warrant for the arrest Of George
Coma, a former resident OF this city,
on a charge Of enbezzlement prefer
red by w. G. Woodruff Of this city,
returned Friday night without his
prisoner.
Deputy Sheriff Barnes arrived in
Two Harbors Monday morning, only
to find that Coma, who had been ar
rested by the chief of police of Two
Rivers, after receiving a telegram
from Sheriff Barnes Of Bismarck in
structing him to arrest Coma on a
warrant charging embezzlement, had
been released under habeas corpus
proceedings in a decision Of Court
Commissioner j. S. Anderson Of Man.
itowoc, Wis.
The chief of police Of Two Rivers
had turned over Coma to Sheriff Schu
cite of Manitowoc, and he was held,
it is said, in the county Jail at Man
itowoc for three days, being released
on the writ OF habeas corpus.
When Coma left Bismarck he said
that he was leaving on account Of be-
ing summoned to Two Rivers by the
death Of his father. He had been in
the employ of Mr.. Woodruff, who is
an electrical contractor, as his book
keeper. His employer said that he
was in the Twin Cities or IA business
trip at the time that Coma left the
city; that he met Coma in st. Paul,
and when something was said as to
why he was leaving he mentioned his
fathers death. Mr.. Woodruff said
that he offered Coma some money
for the expenses of the trip, and, that
after returning home he discovered
that his former boOkkceper had col
lected some accounts due him which
were not properly Appropriated.
Mr.. Woodruff said that he had re
ceipts to show for about $1,000 that
Coma had collected and made no ac-
counting for, and that not one cent
had been turned in from the collec-
tons Of the office during the week Of
his absence, this being in addition to
the $500 already mentioned.
In the petition Of Gonia's attorneys
for a writ for his release, it was
charged that the man was held with
out legal warrant, the only 'informa.
ton that ManitowOc authorities had
being the telegram that was sent from
Bismarck by Sheriff Barnes. Sheriff
Barnes claims that the telegram, stat
ing as it did, the crime COMA was
charged with, was sufficient. .Rela-
tives Of COMA are said to sibe willing
to reimburse MI. Woodruff to the ex-
tent of his loss, but this statement
has not been verified by Mr.. Wood.

Gladstons on the aaIkans.

The traditional opposition of Bulga-
ria to Turkey constituted. according to
Mr.. Gladstone, one Of the chief fac
tors Of European progress. Speaking
Of the Balkan peoples, he one said:
: 'Thcy are like a shelving beach
which restraints the ocean. That beach.
it is true, is beaten by the waves; it Is
laid dcsolate; it produces nothing; it
becomes perhaps nothing save a mass
Of shingle, Of rock, Of almost useless
seawecd. But it is a fence behind
which the cultivated earth can spread
and escape the incoming tide, and such
was the resistance of Bulgarians, Of
Servians and of~Grceks. 1t was that
resistance which left Europe to claim
the enjoyment of her W. religion and
to- develop her institutions aud her
laws."-London Chronicle.

CLAIM BOARD Was
I. NOT within SCOPE

CROSBY. N. D., Feb. 1.-THE ac-
ton Of the auditor Of Divide county in
recalling the board OF canvassers for
the purpose of making some correc.
tons in the records Of the board, and
to secure a correction Of some Of the
election precinct returns, will not
have any effect upon the election con-
test recently instituted by Ambrose
to secure the setting aside of the
election by which Crosby was de-
clared the permanent seat of govern
yment for Divide county.
In the contest action started against
Crosby, it was claimed that the
county canvassing board, instead of
taking the returns from the certified
statement of the vote, took it from
the tally sheets.
At the special meeting of the corn-
ty canyassing board, called for the
purpose of %re-opening the canvass of
vote on the county seat question, some
of the alleged defects we're taken up,
and it is understood that precinct
election officials were called in to
make their returns more complete and
in compliance with the law.
Charge Board Without Power.
1t will be charged, when the case is
brought up in court, that the county
c%anvassing board was without power,
and that it was really no longer in
existence at the time the special
meeting was held, The claim is raised
that the board was automatically de-.
clared out Of existence at the time il
adjourned in December, when the can
yass was made,
There has been more or less com.
plication in the handling of the Divide
county vote at all times since the cleo.
ton of last year, and this new fea-
ture promises to furnish an interesting
sidelight for the contest when it is
heard before the courts soon.

His Own Property

The cast of Fred Nelson of Baldwin
who was charged with emlbezzle.nenn
on a complaint made by j. B. ,Slosson,
Of the Fox Land Co., of this city, was
heard before Justice Beers Saturday

Slosson, Nelson was hired by him for
a short time to work on the Thysell

to be paid $1.00 per day and board
for his services. Slosson said that

fendant permission to sell the hogs
with the understanding that the mo
ney was to be paid to a Mr.. Ullum,
whom Mr.. Slosson had placed in
charge of the Thysell farm. The
farm, Mr.. Slosson said, had been
purchased by the Fox Land Co., and
the titles, as a matter, OF convenience
had been made in S%lossOn's name.
Mr.. Slosson claims that Nelson sold
the hogs after they had been butch.
cred, and that he failed to turn over
the money for them, either to Mi,
Ullum or himself, and that it was for
this reason that he had a warrant
sworn out for Nelson's arrest OH a
charge Of embezzlement.
Attorney Mockler OF this city ap-
peared for Mr.. Nelson and counsc!
for the defense set up the claim that
Nelson had purchased the Thysell
farm, and the stock thereon, and that
in selling the hogs Nelson was sell
ing his own property and that lie had
a right to keep the money he had re-
ceived for the hogs. ....

Origin Of the Cigarette.

The Aztccs. it is believed, are respon.
sible for the cigarette. The Spaniards
first got a Whit Of the cigarette when
they INVADED Mexico under Cortes.
The Aztecs then used tobacco in no
other form. and the Spaniards learned
from them how to roll the little pack
age into smokable shape. They intro
duced the cigarette into Europe, and by
that route it found its way into Amerl-
ca, though it was nearly 200 years
reaching here. The Aztecs were also
using cocoa and its product, chocolate,
when Cortes conquered them, and it
was not long until the whole Of Europe
was eating the various preparations of
this bean. When the Spaniards first
tasted it they named it theobromus,

Ssrvian Women.

There Is no country In the world
where women occupy a more digniled
or honored position in the home than
Servia. The Servian idea is quite diff
ferent from that Of the Turk, who
keeps his women behind Shut doors, or
the German, whose ideal woman is \
good hausfrau. In Servia the woman
Is the companion Of the man. A man
Is responsible for his unmarried sisters,
and throughout the Balkan states it is
considered rather a breach Of etiquette
for him to marry before his older sis
ter. No Servian girl would feel she
could hold up her head in society III
less she could speak four languages.
There is hardly a Servian woman who
cannot play some musical instrument.
Embroidery. painting. drawing and
sculpture are all studied. Politics is
a popular feature among women. Ser
Wan women are very domesticated, and
the highest ladies pay personal atten.
ton to trivial matters Of housekeeping,

Trousers.
Modern trousers came into fashion in
1912, yet the column of Trajan shows
a group Of Sarmatians clothed in trous-
ers that are just like ours. As early as
"A. D. 80 n Roman general created great
scandal by going to war in trousers.
which were regarded as barbarian"
When the Bulgarian King Boris was
converted to Christianity in the sew
enth century. among the LOG questions
he propounded to the pope was wheth-
er it was lawful for Christians to wear
trousers. The explanation Of this is
that the Bulgarians had long been
among the trousered peoples, but as
conversion was coming from the flow
ing robed Greeks they feared that
robes instead Of trousers might be es.
sential to Christianity.
