holding out to the world that our city is noted for lawessness.
Watch different state papers and notice how articles appear about
the law violations in Devils Lake and Lieutenant Way is doing
imagine they are the handiwork of any outsider. When John
Burke was the Democratic governor the Democratic Daily
kept closed up like a clam, but when the encannpnent was held a
year ago and 1900 bottles of beer found its way to the military
grounds to be palceled out to 600 men in ten days Hanna must be
chastised, and all of the National Guard officers.
Well, what is the result? It has been handed out cold that 50
long as the present national guard officers hold their office there
will be no more encampments at Devils Lake. Some of our bust
ness men had a talk with several of the head officials of the guard
and in the conversation they argued that no attention should be
paid to the matter as it was only the Journal, but the answer was
that the people of Devils Lake are responsible for the Journal be-
ing here and therefore, in a measure, it is the fault Of our citi-
Gems. If the end sought was to rectify a wrong @g, or suppress the
elsewhere, that would be different, but that is not the case. 1t was
all done for cheap politics. Thus, it will be seen just how the I'm;
how a cheap skate like this man Way. can do more damage to a
community than a dozen honorable and respected citizens can re-
pair.
