This certainly is true, since the rou-

of the lawyers, being private matters
between them and their clients, are
unknown because not of record.

The Judge who had the deciding
word must have been Solomon Of
a Missouri strain. He had the clerk
add the original $212 to the $500
court costs, and after ascertaining
that the sum was. $712, and having
it duly certified, he directed that the
clerk divide it by two. He was Off

workingmen who are thus being urged
to pull the chestnuts out Of the fire
will not gain anything by defeating
the bond issue and may burn their
fingers in the attempt.
The "Review" has spent considerable

OF public opinion in this matter.
With but two exceptions we have
been able to secure q statement for
publication from all those business
men with whom we could get in touch
in time for this issue after hearing
of the attempt to defeat the bonds.
Those two who did not care to talk for
publication did not in any way de.
clare themselves against the propo.
sition but merely stated that they did
not care to be qnoted. Thus it will be
seen that business favors the voting
of bonds in sufficient amount to carry

The home contractors should take
into consideration the fact that they
expect to be rushed even more this
season than they we're last year. Dur
ing the summer of 1913 it was simply
impossible to get a carpenter to finish
up even the SIN allest job, There were
some twenty new residences erected
last summer and the men we're pulled
from one job to another in order to
keep the builders from getting frantic.
Practically every house was still ,un.

would be at least thirty new houses
putup in 1914. If this is the case they
will have their hands full without wor.

Let Us take all these things into
consideration and then go up to the
polls and vote "Yes" for the bonds.

THE PEOPLE NEED JUDGES, NOT
CAMPAIGNERS.

One of the most. difficult tasks that
confront the people in Republic is
the. election Of worthy judges. The
responsibilities of the bench require
especially the election of men of the
highest character. But many other
qualities are needed. The worthy
judge should have unquestioned knowl-
edge of the law. He should be by
natue able to Judge issues impartial:
ly. He should be so situated as not
to; need the office fora livelihood.
The one particular thing he: need not
be is good cannpaigher. r,
Yet, unless, the people have the
best possible advice and leadership;
unless they are constantly on guard,
the man most likely to be placed on
the bench by their votes is the man
who has greatest strength on the
stump.
A mere statement of these facts
known by every intelligent voter
makes clear the special responsible
ity of lawyers in the premises. They,
amongst US all, know best what man
of their number has the needed ju-
d;cial qualities of mind, what man
combines knowledge Of the law with
those qualities, what man can most
confidently be counted upon to inter-
pref and enforce the law without a
weather eye open to the next election.
It is therefore, the plain duty of
lawyers to advise their non-lawyer
neighbors. They should meet and
choose one of their own number for
recommendation to the people. Any
man upon whom they unite will be
almost certainly impartial. If, then,
the people will but serve their own
interests by following such advice,
they may be assured of strength in
that place where courage, freedom
from bias, and independence of poll
tical ENHANCEMENT are most indis-
pcnsable to fair government for all
the people.-Minncapolis Tribune:

WHICH SHALL. WE CHOOSE?

Not only North Dakota but other
states as well in this splendid garden
country of the world would do well to
heed the following advice. given by
the editor Of the HBowman Citizen"
"Why all this desire to make of
North Dakota q manufacturing state?
Are we growing tired of the green
fields and the open prairie, and: do we
long for the smell and dust of SCOT
from the smoky chimneys of fac
tories where men and women toll all
day for a chance to keep body and
soul together?
"Is it healthier and does it make
for more noble character to bend all
day over a machine in a dust laden
atmosphere until the head swin1s and
the eyes ache, rather than to ride the
gang pillow beneath the open sky and
fill the lungs with the purest air?
"Rather let us strive to maintain
the purely agricultural character Of
our state, and let our energies be
directed toward making it the best
farming state in the Union. For the
coming of the factory with it's dirt,
noise and disease, means few more
millionaires, and thousands of work
ers always on the verge of starva-
ton. Is this desirable? Or are we
so blinded with the glitter Of wealth
that we must copy the effete East
and sacrifice the healthy and natural
rural life to build up big cities which
are nothing but huge warts on the
face of old Mother Nature? .:. y. -.
Here's hoping that North Dakota
will never become. a manufacturing
state where few men grow rich at
the expense of the many and where
the problems of capital and labor pre-
cipitate numerous civil wars in IAN
endeavor on the part of the employer
to- make the worker a helpless slave"
It seems to be natural to want to
do what we see other people Are'
making a success at while we let the
opportunity near at hand 60 unheed-
ed. This applies not only to the use
OF natural resources but to matters
of education as we'll. People insist
that their children must be educated
to be professional men and women
when there isn't one chance in ten of
their making good in, such lines,
whereas if the natural bent of the
child were followed we should have
not one success in ten but rather the
one tenth would cover fully the fail
ures' in life. Not only do we let our
agricultural fields lie fallow.

MISSOURI COURTS MUST BE
SHOWN AT SOME LENGTH.

A case was started in a st. Louis
court MarchN25, 1899, and it is a
pleasure to record that it has now
progressed to the extent that the
court has ordered it settled. The
original amount of the claim was
$212 AS no constitutional or inter-
national questions were involved,
merely questions of the ownership of
certain negotiable household goods,
it will be understood that there was
no occasion for haste. The litigants
appeared to be good and spunky, full
Of grit and tcnacity, and SO the law

times, perhaps dismissed with the

THE QUESTION OF THE HOUR,

Again We have before US the spec.
.sacle of q ringmaster cracking the
whip. and the ::.clown jumping and
tsunbling about in the attempt to pro-
'duce something that will not do the
clown q bit of good and will make him
very tired when it is all over. In
sother words, the workingman is being
urged to fight the additional bonds
for the new schoolhouse because, (here
is where the whip does its cracking,

1t was with regret that we saw the
contract awarded to an out of town
firm. So far as we are concerned we
would prefer to see local concerns get
the contracts for the new schoolhouse
even tho it cost the: city several thou
sand dollars more 70 build than by
awarding to the out of town people.
We believe that there are quite a
mum Der more who feel the same way
but it is not at all likely that the ma
,iority Of the tax payers feel that way
because if they did home merchants
and home producers in every line
would not have to fight against the
mail order houses. Thej average
householder wants to get his daily
necessities as cheap as he can and il
