age of capitalism. Among the many
types of these reformers there are true
prophets-men who realize that prog
ress to be sure must be gradual. They
appreciate that traditions and estab-
lished social conditions cling tenacious
ly. They know that in every society
there is conservatism that resents in
noyation and that holds fast TO the
affairs of the past, They, therefore,
seek to educate the people to the new
order of things. They have introduced
the leaven into the lump; they have
sowed the mustard seed in the hope
that it will in time become a tree.
These are they who in time remake our
society and bring permanent improve
ment to the less fortunate among US.
In the labor movement there are
false prophets. They are the enemies
alike of labor and capital and the gen.
eral public. They preach the gospel
of direct action, They are represent
ed in the United States by the dyna-
hitting trade unionist and by the in
dustrial warriors of the Industrial
Workers of the World. Sabotage and
the sympathetic strike are their
weapons. Their aim is to bring the
machinery of civilization to a stand
still until the demands of labor are
complied with. Theirs is holy war
and they inspire in their fellows the de-
votion of crusaders for a religious
cause. Even these men may have their
place in the great movement for the
betterment of the working class, but
upon the whole they defeat the end
for which they strive by the means
they choose. In country as demo-
cratic as the United States, syndicalism
has no place. When the people are
convinced they will vote needed re-
forms and they will not be persuaded
by violence. Fanaticism that breaks
heads and ties up business doesn't ap-
peal to them.

A good sized audience attended

reception.
He arrived on the Oriental Limited

was a large crowd at the station to
see him and those who were glad they
knew him." walked to the Gardner and
saw that he was we'll fixed for the
time in Fargo.
Luck is a much different appearing
boxed Al Withers and others in this
city He looks more the man THAI he
did then, for he was quite boyish in
and he now looks like a
well-to-do business man.
He was accompanied by Billy McCar-
ney his business manager, and one or.
two others. The early part of the
evening was spent by the now cele-
brated pugilist in visiting old friends
in the city and owe in Moorhead and
he was warmly greeted by everybody.
When he left Fargo he wasn't much of
a. boxer, but he persevered in the work
and returned acknowledged by many as
the champion.
AS a show the exhibition In Prizes
hall wasn't much, but the crowd, which
wasn't very large, all saw Luck. They
saw him do some boxing, shadow
fighting and there was a series of NOV
ing pictures which showed him from
%boyhood to the present time and the
fight which won him so much credit.
Strange to say there was nothing
shown in the pictures that would indi-

SHERIDAN COUNTY
HAS Two BOARDS

McClusky Gazette: On Monday
morning at S O'Clock, County Auditor
Teibel was awakened from his peace
full slumber at his rooms at the court
houSe by two sets of county COM
m~issioners. There seems to have been
some confusion regarding the term of
county commissioners, and it was
thought by many that the old board
was elected for two years only. Others
were of the opinion that they should
have cast lots to ascertain which one
would retire at the end OF two ear
or Jan. l. 1913. At the recent election
there appeared on the ballot a candi-
date for county commissioner in each
of the three districts, John T. Skogmo,
in the first; H. B. Curtis in the
second; and Anton Arnes, of Good
rich, in the third. These commits
sioners, of course, received highest
number of votes at the election. and
were given certificates to this effect
by the county auditor. In due course
Of time they furnished bonds and on
Monday morning appeared for business.
However, the old board, acting on the
advice of the attorney general, who
rendered his opinion last year that
they were elected for four years. also
appeared and finished the business for
1912, approving the minutes of the last
quarter and they adjourned sine die.
They at once convened as a new
board, electtng Mr.. Ahlbrecht as
chairman or 1918. At the same time.
the new board elected John T. Skog-
mo as chairman for the ensuing year.
The old board was represented by
Attorneys Jordahl, of Goodrich and
Thorn, jr, of Denhoff, and the new
board was represented by Attorney
Hyland of Washburn.
County Auditor Teibel refused to
recognize either board. The auditor
stated that he was neither a Judge
nor a proper court to decide the legal
points of the controversy n that he
would recognize neither board as legal
until the matter was threshed out be-
fore the proper authorities.
VIM. F. Ahlbrecht kept a record Of
the minutes Of the old board, while
the new board appointed c.. c. Sturdy
as it's clerk, so two sets of proceed
ings were filed with the county
auditor, who refused to recognize
either as official. AS several matters
of importance should be acted on at
once by the commissioners it is thought
that the matter will be settled in short
order when presented to the court.
