HALLS STATENENT
TO NEWSPAPERS
Aug. 10. 1914.
J. P. Dotson,
Publisher Forum,

EuDLlaner FORUM,
Fargo, n. D.
Dear Sir: 1t has come to my attention
that an attempt is being made to pre-
JUDGE the minds of the newspapermen
of the state against the state print
ing commission and it Is said that this
effort is being backed by the larger
printing Offices of the state which were
either unsuccessful in securing the
state printing at the letting of the
biennial contracts last month, or which
failed to make a bid for the work. AS
the state printing board is composed
Of Gunder Olson, state treasurer; Carl
o. Jorgenson, state auditor, n my
self, l believe no harm can come Of
making to the newspaper men, who
own and run the small shops Of the
state, a statement of the matter as it
presents itself to me.
The complaint made against the
state printing commission is that it
refused and failed to reject the bids
o. n fifth class of state printing
that being the class which embraces
blank books, embossing, ruling. per-
forating, punching. binding and general
stationery. The argument Is made
that, had the board rejected all bids,
the small shops Of the state would
have had some chance of getting some
Of this work at a good price.
From the records of this department
I have assured myself that the smaller
shops would have benefited very little
had the board seen fit to reject all
bids in this class. The big shops have
always taken the lions share of this
work and the country printer has had
little, if anything. It is therefore
surprising that the big shops should so
suddenly become solicitous for the

"And the Law Is Common s.nsaD

rHo tHS la" ~ kommon sense"
ST. Louis Republic: Judge Calvin
S. Miller of the court of criminal corr
rection has just rendered a decision
which opens a brand-new field in one
of the oldest of the sciences.
The evidence in the case in question
showed that a miscreant stole up be-
hind a laden moving van and cut the
rope which held a portion of the load
in place, letting $3.50 worth of fragile
furniture fall to the ground and be de-
stroyed. We quote from the publish
ed account of the case:
The information set forth that the
furniture fell to the street and was
ruined, but did not set forth that the
rope that was cut was of value. Judge
Miller commended the rope should have
been specified in the charge, as the
damage to the furniture was only in
cidental to cutting the rope. and dis
missed the case"
"And the law is ommon sense
Anyone can see with half an eye that
the destruction of the rope was the
aim and end of the offender. Doubt
less he was surprised and grieyed
when he found that, in his single
hearted desire to bisect a roIe, he had
unwittingly. involuntarily and wholly
without malice aforethought ruined
$3.50 worth of furniture!
~ IHis iIuitiul pI1uClple mas a pos
sible application much wider than this
case. We recollect a case in New
York, for example, where a man was
hanged, in the old days before the
electric chair, for killing another man
with a revolver he had fred through
the plate glass window Of the victims
office. It now dawns on us for the
first time that the offender ought re-
ally to have been arrested and punish
ed for MISUNDERSTANDING, since the
window was of value and the killing
was merely incidental to its shatter-
ing.
Verify, on the ruins of the old there
ariseth a new school of law.

GOVERNOR MAKES
APPEAL FOR AID

State of North Dakota, executive
department.-To the people Of North
Dakota: During our wal with Spain
thousands Of dollars were sent by the
European Red Cross societies to the
American Red Cross to aid N the care
Of sick and wounded soldiers.
Now. in the hour of their supreme
need. the American Red Cross, both
for the sake of humanity and to ex-
press our gratitude for their aid to us
in the time OF trouble and distress
has decided to charter a ship and send
to each country involved, doctors,
nurses and hospital supplies. This ship
sailing under the Red Cross flag will
be under the protection OF the treaties
of Geneva and the Hague and can en-
ter any harbor for the discharge of it's
beneficent duty. In no other way can
this trained personnel so greatly need
ed reach the different countries. Pro-
lection is provided also for the person
mel of the Red Cross societies of neu-
trail states that render aid by the trea-
ty of Geneva.
The American Red Cross has ap-
pealed to all of our people, to the gov
ernors of the different states. as presi-
dents of the Red Cross state boards,
to the Red Cross chapters, to mayors
Of cities, to chambers Of commerce, to
boards of trade and to all associations
and individuals for contributions %
carry on this work.
Contributions may be DESIGNATED by
the donors if they SO desire for the aid
Of any special country and will be used
for the country designated, but assist
ance will be given to all in the true
spirit of the Red Cross, represented by
it's motto, Neutrality Humanity.
Grieved as we may be oyer this terri
BILE war, the agonizing cry OF suffer
ing men cannot appeal to us i'll vain.
The American Red Cross asks for
prompt and generous response. Con-
tributions may be sent to r. S. Adams,

AN OUTING

KRONE HERRsT ENJOYS THREE
WEEKS ON THE MISSISSIPPI
RIVER IN A HOUSE RoAT-sAw
THE BIG kEoKuk DAM.

This week Krone Herbst returned to
this city from one of the most delight.
Ful outings he has ever had. Iii com
pany with some friends he spent three
weeks camping and floating in a house
boat down the father of waters. The.
party started at Winona, Mimi, and
noated down the river to Keokuk.
where they examined, the great dam
across n river at that point. From
there they went on down to S. Louis
and every day they had experiences
that added to the charm of the trip.
Mr.. Herbst says that the grea power
dam at keokuk Is the most wonderful
engineering feat of the century, when
the time taken to construct it is con-
sidered. The same party are planning
a trip for next summer that will take
them down the Mississippi to the Ohio
and up that river to Cincinarti, o.,
and from there they will return by
rail. He is nicely Drowned oy the sun

opportunity to bid and either refused
to bid or, having bid, were higher than
the successful bidder. There were but
five bidders on this class-three from
Fargo, one from Bismarck and The

others held aloof, apparently hoping
that the board would reject all bids
and allow them to get the work at a
price above that made in knights

But / am certain, by a careful read
ing of sections 80 and AZ of the revis-
ed codes of 1905, that it a mandatory
upon the board to let the contract

The law, in each section, uses the word
shall" and the supreme court holds
that to be mandatory. 1 maintain,
therefore. that the board had no choice
in the matter, unless it wished to dis

commission has taken an oath of Office
and each member has no thought of
violating it, and I, for my own part, am
convinced that not a newspaperman
in the state would want patronage at
such a sacrifice.
Let us see now If the bid accepted
was reasonable" The Knight Print
ing Co., of Fargo will set all display
jobs and type for the state for 27.6
cents per 1000 ems; it will do job
press work at 81 cents for the first L.

THE WAKE COUNTY PRIMARY.

The primary method of selecting
candidates for local officers in Wake
county received a rather severe shock
on August 20, and the result of the con-
test for register of deeds, is to be set
tied in the courts. 1t is reiatedthata after
the ballots we're counted on the even
ing of the primary the votes in Cara
leigh precinct, Raleigh township, was
announced as 81 for Sawyer and 20
for Wood the candidates for said office.
which gave Wood the nomination for
register of deeds by majority OF
20. But when the CaTaleigh returns
reached the official board of canvas
sers two days later they showed 70 for
Sawyer and IA for Wood, which re-
yersed the supposed majority for Wood
in the county and gave the nomination
to Sawyer by four votes. Judge Biggs,
who represented Wood before the
board of canvasseFs. declared that the
returns had been tempered with and
made; that the official envelope had
been torn open and the figures report
ed from the Caraleigh box erased ahd
changed. The Judge asked for per-
mission to put twenty men on the
stand from the precinct in question,
whom he said were willing to swear
they voted for Wood, but a majority of
the board of canvassers declined to
permit this and declared Sawyer the
nominee without further ceremony.
Claiming that an injustice had been
done him, Wood has appealed to the
superior court of Wake county and
twelve men will be asked to pass upo1
the facts presented when the case
Genes to trial. The News and Obse
yer declares the action of the boarl
of canvassers was indefensible and ap-
proves the action of Mr., Wood in de-
handing review of the case in the
courts. 1t is mighty bad that such diff
ferences as this should arise where
the primary plan of making nomina-
tions was employed. Primaries are
supposed to prevent broils of this kind
call convention and settle the matter
out of the courts.

THE FIGHT. is ON.

Hon. Thos. D. Warren, Democratic
State Chairman, has opened headquar-
tiers and is now engaged in the work
of organizing each precinct in every
county throughout North Carolina,
With the declared purpose of polling a
large Democratic vote at the approach
ing election. Chairman Warren says
he finds the people in the State gener-
ally satisfied with the records of the
State and National administrations.
He fears this condition may beget
over-confdence and admonishes Demo
Gratis to be active and on the alert:
that the factof this being an "off year.
in politics makes it much more impor-
tant that Democrats should be on
guard in every precinct. The chair
man pleads for the settlement of local.
differences wherever they may, per-
chance, exist and calls upon Demo-
ocrats to unite in solid phalanx to do
battle against the common foe. He
would dispel the idea some may pro-
badly have that it is unnecessary &c
make strenuous effort to organize il
times when there are no great con-
.ests to be settled. True is the sugges.
ton that every patriotic elector should
vote in all elections. so that in times
when popular government is most at
stake, there will be in readiness MILF
tant Democracy to meet the emergen-
cy- And let us all bear in mind that

az overwhelming vote of the people.
The calamity howlers are abroad in
the land seeking to weaken the forces
Of the Democracy and thereby make it
possible for a return to power party
which always has and still stands for
special privileges, and this fact should
impel every Democrat to exercise him
self to the utmost capacity in the ef-
fort to bring out heavy vote for all
Democratic nominees on election day
this year. Let it not be said that any
Democrat was found asleep at the
switch" during the all important cam
paign of 1914 The record of our Dem
ocratic President for doing things
worth while is without a parallel in
the history of the country and it is the
duty of every Democrat to express his
approval of it at the polls.
1t is the purpose of the opposition to
capture the House of Representatives,
believing such result would go farth,
SSlf III u1SCISu1I11S Tic IISSlu0uC. "A
fierce battle will be waged in every
close or doubtful district and it be-
hooves Democrats everywhere to place
themselves in readiness to stand at
Armageddon" and battle for their
congressional nominees. In this
district, Congressman Gudger, who has
been renominated, is the accredited
representative of President Wilson, so
that vote for Mr. Gudger means a
vote of approval of the administration.
OF course, the Democracy of the tenth
district is going to return Mr. Gudger
to congress. This is a foregone CON
clusion.. 1t is only question of ma
jCrity and the result will be decisive
if every good party man acquits him
self in a manner becoming patriotic
Democratic ideals. 1t is after all,
question of principle and not of men,

more.
