The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1914-02-12

The Fargo Forum is actually and
energetically working for the nomi-
nation of President J. W. Worst as
United States Senator from North Da-
kota. Just at this time some unkind
charges have been made against Mr..
Worst but the fact remains that he Is
North Dakota farmer who settled in
Emmons county and left his farm to
take position in the Agricultural Col
lege and that he has done more for
better farming than any other one
man in the state. These are cold facts
and if his friends finally bring him out
as candidate he will be strong man.
Unfortunately his name has been
mentioned in connection with the
Chamber of Commerce people but it
will be mighty hard to make the aver
age farmer believe that Mr. Worst is
not with them, heart and soul, or that
he would betray them, in fact such a
thought is foolish. The Times Record
dislikes the thought of this man leav-
ing his present position and hopes that
he may decide not to do so. But should
he finally decide to do so will Loyalty
support John w. Worst against any
one mentioned up to this time. He

THE POWER OF WATER.

THE power of water is enormous. A
tiny jet of water descending 1900 feet,
travelling at the rate of 100 yards a
second, cannot be cut into with an axe
or a sword. It will fracture the best
blades of Toledo steel. It will hurl
an axe through an oak plank. It ID
quite impossible for man to cut this
stream through.
To compute the power of falling
water 1t is necessary to multiply the
volume Of water in cubic feet pei
minute by its weight, 62.5 pounds, and
this product by the vertical height
Of the fall in feet, and divide by $4,000
the number of foot-pounds represent
ing I h. p. for / minute. A stream OF
water when flowing over a weir five
feet in width by one foot in depth at
the rate of one foot a second and hav'
ing a fall Of twenty feet, develops
eleven horse power.

have devoted more time to politics
than to the study Of the problem Of
taxation. And why? Primarily, be.
cause Mr.. Jorgenson refused to pay
their salaries until he was certain that
the law authorized him to do so. The
law was ambiguous. The best lawyers
in the state were not agreed as to its
Interpretation. Mr.. Jorgenson, as a
matter of self.protection, could not
pay out state moneys until he was GER
tain that the law required him to do
So
Suppose Mr.. Jorgenson had assumed
that the tax commission were entitled
to the amount they demanded, and
had papid it without questioning his
legal authorization to make the pay
ments; and suppose, further, that,
after a number Of payments, the court
had declared the payments invalid;
what would have been Mr.. Jorgenson's
position then? Simply this: Mr.. Jor'
genson would have been compelled to
restore the money he had illegally paid
to the state treasury, and to recover
from the tax commission as best he
could. Even if the courts gave judg'
ment in his favor, what could he re-
cover from the impecunious Packard?
These are the facts. And in the
light of these facts can any fair-mind-
ed person say that Carl Jorgenson did
not act intelligently, consistently, just
ly and honestly The efforts of the
tax commission to discredit him by
sending out Kisitzky at the expense of
the state, to asperse his character as
a public official is reprehensible in the
highest degree. And in view Of the
fact that the tax commission, which
the law intended to be non-partisan, is
merely a political machine, maintained
at the expense of the state, it is we'll
that the taxpayers, whom the commits
sion is supposed to especially benefit
should be informed as to the true state
of affairs. Kositzky was not made
secretary of the commission because
he was qualified to perform the duties
of that position. What does Kositzky
know about the science of taxation?
No; it looks like he was appointed to
that position because he was glad and
willing to do the political dirty work
mapped out for him by F. E. Packard.

GO 70 CHURCH.

Sunday. February 18th, has been set
apart by the various churches as day
on which all are to be urged to be
present, as has been noted elsewhere
in this paper. Men are becoming
more and more careless of their church
duties and those who have neglected
attending church ought on this partic-
ular Sunday to begin again and attend
services Sunday, February 18th and
each Sunday in the future.
Various excuses are offered for none
church attendance-none Of them
good-but nevertheless they serve as
an excuse to quiet the conscience:
Some say there is a lack Of the old
fashion religion, others that the min
listers are lacking in the Christ spirit
and are inclined to be worldly, others
that society has made the church a So
cial affair, all of which we are dispos-
ed to consider in a deplorably large
measure as true, but even If so the con-
ditions do not furnish valid excuse
for deserving the cause and giving up
the fight and we frankly admit that
none but moral coward would do so,
The invitation comes from all
churches. as we understand 1t, includ

AN IMPORTANT CHANGE.

It will be noted, from the names at
the head of this column, that Mr.. E d.
Lum, associated with the Times Re-
cord for more than a year passed as
local editor, has formally assumed the
duties of editor, and will make his
home here permanently. The manage.
agement Of the paper. and, we are con-
WINGED, large majority of those who
have come to know Mr.. Lum since he
came to Valley City, will be glad to
know that so efficient newspaper
man, and SO good citizen is to make
this his permanent home. o,
In the near future Mr.. Lum will out
line his plans for the news and editor
ial plans of the paper but in general
way it may be stated that he and the
former editor will work in harmony,
along the same lines politically, that
have been followed in the past. The
best welfare of the city will be consid-
cred, and it will be the idea of both
the editor and the manager to promote
as far as possible, the best interests
Of the community in which they live.
1t might be stated that this change
is deemed advisable because of a large
and growing businss, which makes
necessary a division of the various de-
partments more distinct than has been
the case in the past. The Times Re-
cord is making progress towards fin
ancial strength, but will have more to
say on this subject in the near future.
AT present it is sufficient to say that
this change has become necessary and
the management of the Times Record
is convinced that it is one which will
help the newspaper, both daily and
weekly, in every way.

EX-cONVICT WOULD BE COVER.
NOR.

Al Jennings, the famous outlaw and
ex-convict of Oklahoma is asking the
people Of his state to make him gov
enor. Jennings does not plead that any
injustice has been done to him, but
wishes to show the people that a con-
vict can really reform and make good.
1t is disgrace to the state of Okla
homa that train robber, who blazen-
ly faunts the fact should even be al
lowed to be mentioned for such an Of
fee. Jennings is not reformed, his
actions do not indicate that he rs but
rather that he is aiming for another
form of robbery. Even prison papers
are disguised with his brazen attempt
to gain publicity.

Probably, however, it is because his

OUR "NoN.PARTIsAN" TAX CON-
MISSION.

Bismarck Tribune: When a man
has become candidate for any public
office the first question that the intel
ligent voter asks is, lis he Qualified?"
1t is being more and more recognized
that ability to properly administer the
office is the principal requirement of
any candidate and that political affil-
iation is secondary consideration. In
other words, the man who helps to sup
port the government that is, the tax
payer, wants to know whether or not
the election of a candidate to partic.
ular Office will mean the efficient ad-
ministration of that Office. And, after
a candidate has been elected and has
assumed the responsible of his
office, the next question is: Is the Of
flee efficiently and honestly admins
tered?
Let each citizen apply these require
ments to the administration to L. B.
Hanna as governor and to Carl Jorgen-
son as state auditor Anyone who is
honest and who is informed as to the
facts must admit that Governor Hanna
has thus far given the state an efficient
administration. The business of the
state has been conducted in a business
like manner. We challenge anyone to
'adduce proof to the contrary, Packard
and Kisitzky Notwithstanding.

There is not town in the state today

as high as in Valley City, or where the

THE kNocKER-REPEATER.

In response to the requests of num-
Der of friends, who have feared our sill.
ence might be misunderstood, also to a
hankering yearning in our own breasts
we have decided to free our minds
"just this once" of an accumulation Of
facts regarding another publication In
Valley City, which we have suppressed,
in the face of general vituperation and
insult, for the better part of year.
It is to be regretted that newspa'
per which does respect its own editor
ial columns, and the value of its space
should be called upon to devote any
considerable space to matter of per.
sonal character, and derogatory to any
person, no matter how lowly his sta
ton, or the degree of his self respect.
In this case, however, we do believe 1t
is necessary, and we ask the indul.
gence of our thousands of readers. We
promise you it is the last time we will
refer in any way, shape or manner, to
the publication in question-unless it
be it's obituary
For the benefit of the great majority
Of you, who have not seen the "Cour>
ier," regularly, we will state that in the
sheets second edition last April, a
column attack was published, written
by a former resident of Valley City,
villifying and Safeguarding the edi.
tor of the Times Record, and his as.
sociate, Mr.. E. D. Lum, and all, so
far as we could see, without grounds.
While this attack was, according to
