WAR NEWS SERVICE.

| Tbs readers OF The Grand Forks
Herald, in its various editions, are get
ting the most prompt and accurate
war news service that money can buy.
The backbone of the service is the
Associated Press, which has men on
the job everywhere, and which has,
beyond all question, the finest news
gathering organization in the world
The result of the labors of that in
stitution is placed before the readers
of The Herald as many times in the
day as there is ANYTHING happening to
warrant the issuance of g new edition
The Associated Press report is sup
plemented by service from other
sources. but tlae main reliance is on
the A r.
The Herald publishes as facts only
those things which are ascertained to
be facts. It publishes rumors, but it
does not publish them as facts. They
are given frankly as runners, and for
what they are worth. Some Of them
are correct, some are net. They are
published for whatever truth they
may contain. and for the light which
they often shed on ascertained facts
1t must be remembered that at a
time like this the handling of news
Is greatly hampered. Every Euro
pean country is now under censor
ship. No government will permit to
be sent out information which can be
Of service to the enemy. And every
government is apt to emphasize its
own successes and minimize its re-
verses. Hence, in estimating the val
ue of a published runner it is necessary
to take into account it's source.
But these limitations apply to all
agencies, and no other organization
has facilities for obtaining reliable
war information as the Associated
Press. The papers supplied by that
service are giving the people the most
reliable news of the day. The Herald
gets that news to its readers many
hours ahead Of any other paper, and
the sales of the paper are evidence
that the service is appreciated.

to court disaster" France longs for
peace, but finds Germany's demands
couched, says M. Pinehon, I" in terms
So harsh as to merit the recall Of our
ambassador" Thus. too, of the time
when the nations OF Europe descend
ed upon France in 1898, Carlyle
writes:
shocked principally. it would seem, at
the condition of the River Scheldt.
Spain declares war: being shocked
principally at some other thing; which
doubtless the manifesto indicates.
Now we find it was not England that
declared war first, or Spain first; but
that France herself declared war first
on both of tiaen--a point of immense
parliamentary and Journalistic inter
est in those days, but what has be-
come of no interest whatever in
these
If war comes each power will have
not the least trouble in placing itself
in the most unassailable position of
injured innocence. The plain man
may he be"ildered among them in
placing the responsibility. But the
historian will find no interest in these
arguments, except as an exercise illus
trating the influences of casuistry. He
will have no trouble in placing his fin
ger upon the cause OF the war, and
there are men in Vienna today whose
descendants for many generations
will relden at his verdict

PDACING THE Bl1AME,

New York Times: With vast salts
faction does each of the powers prove
to itself that it is the injured party,
the victim Of aggression by another,
that 1t desires peace above all, but is
unwillingly forced to self-defense. The
ingenuity that has hesn expended on
these labors before every war is as
nanumental and as profitless as those
Of the medieval schoolmen. History
always sweeps them aside and goes
uRerrfngly to the real cause Of each
war, whether territorial lust, racial
fAuds, or what nat. But with each
rew war the uselsss endeayor begins

Inadvertently locked in the vault as

Clough was busy in the vault, and

Gushing was on the ear, ready to
leave for home when Lieut.. E. p.

came running out to say that Clough

Had Wing not happened to go into
the Office in search Of Cleugh, and
heard him pounding on the vault door
the chances are that he would have
been forced to remain there with pos
sibly very serious results. for the vault
is not exactly airy when closed.

WHO PAYS Piper?
COUNTIES At WAR
McHenry and Pierce Would
Avoid $7OO Bill for the
Trial at Court.
fHerald snecial senuiee I,


Devils Lake, n. D., Aug. 6.-Who
pays the cost of civil litigation which
Is carted from one county to another
by legal process? This is q question
involved in the case of McHenry coun-
ty against Peirce county which will
be tried before Judge G. w. Buttz of
the Second Judicial district who has
been invited by Judge Burr of Rugby
to hear the case. In that a question
Dakota is involved, determining a
question of great public importance,
the ease will likely eventually reach
the supreme court. The history of
case is interesting.
A workman employed by the con-
tractor building the new 500 depot at
Minet was injured during the con-
structien Of that building, and later he
sued the contractor and the 500 line
came up for trial at Towner, it was,
by agreement Of the parties, trans
ferred to Pierce county for trial and
was later tried at Rugby, the expenses
of the trial amounting to something
over 800 In the way Of costs of juf-
ors, bailiffs, court officers, ETC., which
SUM was paid by Pierce county.
Pierce county presented the bill to
McHenry county for these expenses
and McHenry county refused to pay
on the grounds. First, that the eN-
penses were chargeable only to the
county where the case was tried, and
Second, that the cause Of action did
not arise in McHenry county, but
arose at Minot which is in Ward coun-
ty.
Thereupoa Pierce county brought
suit against McHenry county upon the
claim and the attorneys for the latter
county demurred the complaint, which
raised question Of law as to Whether
Pierce county may recover from Nc
Henry county at all. Under the North
Dakota statute such cases may be
commenced in any county in the state
with the right On the part of the de-
fendant to ask to have the case trans
ferred to the county where the cause
CT action arese. In this case no such
request was made but on the other
hand the case went to Pierce county
by agreement. The usual practice in
civil cases has been that the county
where the case Is tried must stand the
expenses. Ia criminal cases there is
e statute providing that the case must
be brought in the county in which the
case arises, and if transferred the
original county must pay the ex-
penses, but there is no such statute
relating to civil cases and a decision
in this ease will be awaited with con-
siderable interest. The attorneys We're
given until August Is to brief the
case. Judge Buttz Informed the at
torneys that he would decide the case
within very few days after the briefs
reached him.

THE GRAND JURY VERDICT.

The Grand Forks county grand jury
which was called in response to pc
tition Of representative citizens to in
vestigate certain charges of bribery
arising out Of the Cooper murder case
reported yesterday evening that after
making the most thorough investiga-
ton possible of the facts and state
ments laid before it, it was unable to
find sufficient evidence to warrant
the indictment and trial of any of the
persons named in the complaints. This
settles the case for all time.
The Herald has, in connection with
this case, followed the only course
that could be followed by a self-re-
speeting newspaper. In its news col
umns it published the statements Of
witnesses on and off the stand, giving
them for what they are worth, with
ont bias or prejudice. But it has never
at any time while any of these eases
were pending, commented on them or
the testimony, or sought by the ex-
preston Of any opinion of its own tc
" CJudi6e g SdSS ~HiCia ~as III pEOESSS
of trial. At the beginning Of the cas-
es it comm ented on their gravity, and
urged its readers to withhold iudg-
nent until the facts had been proper
1y presented. That has been the ex-
tent Of it's comment.
At this time it feels at liberty to ex-
press qualification that, after rigid in
vestigation by jury chosen from
among the masses Of the people, and
In response to the demand Of worthy
citizens. it has been impossible to find
even a presumption Of guilt and that
the wrong which has been done these
men, one Of them an old and respected
fellow townsnan. has been righted so
far as it is pessibls fer courts and pub
lie bodies to right such wrongs.
The Herald regrets that zeal which
vas evidently misguided, and possibly
some perversien OF judgment due to
Political conditions, caused these suits
to be brought and these saen to be
subjected to this humiliation. But,
the suits having been brought, 1t is
pleasing to every man who cares for
the reputation Of his city and respects
the fair name of his neignbers, have
been exonerated after the searching
inquiry which has been made.

NEW OFFICERS DR
dunn County
Appointed Commissions
Adjust the New Cou\
House Difficulty.

Manning, N. D., avg. s.-Dm
county has an entirely new set Nf
commissioners. After the resisnath
of one, T. J. Anders was named as !
successor, and following the resigA
tions Of the other two, A. w. sadoH
ky and Frank Anderson were eheA
to fill the vacancies.
The next question is the adjustmel
of the courthouse matter for a BULL
ing to replace the one destroyed i'll
spring. AS only three months remai
until the general election, 1t has bee
thought best to call for bids for tw
courthouses, one at Dunn Center an
one at Manning, both on the sam
plans, with the understanding tha
the courthouse will be constructed I
county seat.
This question will be submitted I
the voters in November. A couri
house could be constructed MOI
cheaply at Dunn Center, as the ma
terial would have to be freighted fror
that point to Manning,

IF THE JINGoEs HAD RULED.

II the counsels Of the Jingoes had
ly urged, plunged into a war witt,
Mexico months ago, what beautiful
situation we would have had!
As it is now, the conditions are
complex enough All of the countries
n Europe are ether actually engaged
in war or are on war footing, with
all that this means in demoralization
Of trade and industry and the break
ing down of banking systems. These
nations are customers for our exports,
sources of supply for our imports, cor
respondents of our banks, buyers of
our securities, fellow citizens with us
Of the great world.
The conditions which exist in Eu-
rope are reflected here in every ae-
tivity Of life. New m neans Of ocean
transportation had to be devised, new
methods Of handling credits had to
be arranged, new ways of doing ev-
erything had to be invented And
this with ths United States In a con-
ditien of profound peace, and ct lib
erty to take freely every step neees-
sary to realize on its great resources
and the absolute seundHess Of our
commercial and financial condition.
Suppose that instead of this, while
We had been suddenly plunged into
the chaos of the old world, We had
already been creating a chaos of our
own. Talk Of the fefeible paeifaeatien
of Mexico in a few days or months is
absurd. The work would have re-
quired years, and it would have re-
quired a great army, how great no
man knows. We have special rea-
son for thankfulness now that not
only the government at Washington,
but the entire American people had
self-pessession and poise enough to
reject the wild counsel of the handful
of men who would have plunged us
into war
