The date set for the Manitoba election
is July 10th. The campaign now in pro.
gress is one of the hottest for many
years. Several new issues are up and
the reciprocity issue which was appara.
mount four years ago is lost sight Of al
together and others like referendum"
"Abolish the Bar" etc. have taken the
place. That the Rollin government will
be sustained there is not much doubt as
seen at this distance, but DR.. McFadden
who has represented Emerson nearly all
the time for over twenty years seems to
have the fight of his life. 1t is said that
manyiof his old time supporters have
deserted him on account of the way he
has dispensed patronage in many cases.
Emerson owes lots to DR.. McFadden's
influence with the government and il
he goes down to defeat the loaves and
fishes which have been SO literally dis.
tributed by the government through his
influence will be small until there is q
change in the government which is not
altogether likely. The Canadians are
strong on the theory that ''to the victor
belongs the spoil"

In recent storm at the Twin Cities
several lives were lost in the adjoining
lakes by the overturning of canoes. II
the victims of these disasters had been
boating in row boats it is probably that
not life would have been lost. About
the most unmanageable thing on the
water is light canoe in heavy wind.
Only the expert can do anything with
such craft at such time. An ordinary
row boat may blow away in spite of the
efforts of the occupants, but it will not
readily capsize from the wind alone as q
canoe may do. Many amateur sailors
will declare that canoe is just as safe
as row boat, but that is because they
are amateurs. A canoe is compara-
lively safe for an expert, but there is al
most as much difference between hand
ling row boat and canoe as there is
between walking on the ground and
walking on tight rope, and yet the
favorite craft for the boys and girls who
want to 60 riding on the water Is a
canoe, while as a matter of fact, the
row boat is just as easily rowed, is as
peedy and is far safer at unp time.

GIBSON TO ATKINSON.

TIE following letter was not intended
for publication but it breathes so fine
spirit that we take the liberty
of printing it because SO many candi.
dates nurse sore spots after defeat.
Politics is game, just like base ball, AN d
the player must expect certain disap-
pointments, and more or less bad luck.
1t he cannot stand for this with smile,
hs better stay out of the game.
st. Thomas, N. D., June 9th, 1914.
Friend Charles: (Atkinson)
Congratulations on your success. 1t
wasa good clean campaign and I for
one am perfectly satisfied. I consider
that I have been used more than good
by the people of Pembina county. Kind
est regards to all the boys. I do not ex-
pect to see much change on the final
count.

BOTH SHIPS COLLIDE
WHEN STANDING STILL

The testimony before the board which
is inquiring into the causes of the Emp.
ress of Ireland and the Storstad collision
find from the testimony of the officers
and sailors of the Empress that she was
standing still at the time of the accident,
and from the testimony of the officers of
the Storstad that that vessel was also at
a standstill when she rammad the Emp
ress and cut her half way in two.
Ifboth these stories are taken, 1t will
certainly prove to be the most remark
able accident OF the kind that ever oc-
CURED. But the witnesses all agree
that it was pretty foggy about that time
and probably the fog is to blame for the
different stories. Fogs aro notorious as
deceivers.

port" But as the "report" must say
under oath that all taxes possible have
been collected is the difference?
As the Pioneer Express said before,
we are not arguing against having the
personal taxes paid; they ought to be
paid and the collections enforced when
not paid.
We are not trying to interfere with
the evident misunderstanding between
the board and the sheriff, but we are
thinking about the way this sudden
change in the manner of collecting af-
fects the taxpayers themselves.
This county board and the county
boards preceding since organization.
have been in the habit of making "set.
Elements" with delinquent taxpayers.
There was nothing wrong in this in itself;
pit is only Nshat:all business men do under
similar circumstances.
1t is stated that the county board have
been urging the sheriff to make these
collections by distraint since last fall.
'What may be true, but the delinquent
taxpayer has iust come to the realiza.
tion of that fact-now-in the middle of
sammer, when he has no money.
Now it is easy to 'opiticise, far easier
than to suggest remedies, but we will
venture to make this suggestion to either
or both the county board and sheriff.
Under the law,when the sheriff makes
a SO izure he seixes the property, but
leaves it with the owner until the time
of sale, which the law says ''shall not be
less than ten days from the time of seiz-
ure"
Now, let the sheriff seize the property,
take receipt from the owner, and then
make the tune of sale sixty or ninety
days hence. That would give the county
absolute security because the property
could not then be disposed of, while the
time would give the delinquent an op
portunity to gather his harvest, or real
ize some cash in some other way.
But before even this is done, fair warn.
ing should be given that it certainly will
be done, and then the delinquents will
mostly pay up without any distraining
process.

VACCINATION.

In 0nOCl0f COlUm0 IN CnlS issue lS q
notice given by the county board Of
health, and being sent to the school
boards of the county, in which it is o.
dered that all children shall be vaccinat-
ed before they begin school next fall.
While the writer personally believes 10
vaccination, yet there are many people
who do not, aud who will look on this
order to vacciaate as only scheme to
make a little pocket money for the local
doctors. In many of the states, similar
orders have been fought out in the
courts with varying results.
On the oae hand, it ls argued that the
general health Of the community Is
above the rights Of the individual, and
hence tcrcibie vaccination is proper;
while on the other hand, the opponents
deny the etfacacy Of the remedy, ard
also claim that at least in many cases it
is direct injury and often introduces
organic diseases Of other kinds.
That the present order will not 60
through without considerable opposition
is certain, though how far the opponents
will go is yet to be seen.
OF course nobody need be vsccinated
unless they want it, but if not, thea the
question arises, whether they can 60 to
school. or whether other legal privileges
may not be legally denied them, because
of non-vaccination.

Vaccination for Small Pox.
Respectfully,
j. r. GIBSON.

Cavalier, N. D., June 25th, 1914.
To The School Board:
Inasmuch as there has been snch an
epidemic of small pox around ths county
during the last year, with few schools
closed on account of it, the county
Board of Health thought it advisable to
enforce the state regulation relating to
vaccination.
THIS regulation passed by the State
Board of Health in November, 1913, is
as follows: mo child shall be permitted
to enter any school in the state until
satisfactory evidence of of successful
vaccination has been given to the proper
authorities"
Therefore at their meeting in May,
the. Comfy Board of Health passed a
resolution whereby every child in the
county must produce certificate of
vaccination before entering school in
September.

ELECTION GOSSIP.

The returns from the different pre-
cincts of the county are all in and as
tabulated by County Auditor Felson
make no changes from the figures given
by the Pioneer Express last week.
Most of the contested officers have de-
cided though small majorities. Among
those not definitely announced last week
are McMurchie over Garvey, by. about
200 majority. and Messrs Norton and
Bigwood as republican nominees for
county commissioners of their respective
districts. Both of the latter are strong
men. both have been commissioners be-
fore with good records, and they will
make the present commissioners, both
of whom are renominated without oppo-
sition, hump themselves to get reelected
next fall.
In the state there is nothing particu-
lar of note other than that already given
except that Steen was nominated as
state treasurer instead of Tharaldson Of
Grafton. In the case of county treasurer
there seems to be difference of only
Z votes, and we venture that both Msssrs
Gibson with his 4S6 and Thorwaldson
with his 40 would feel better satisfied
If this difference were less or greater,
because the official count may make a
difference. When the difference is so
small and change of two or three
votes even would mako fair chance for
a contest, the loser on the face of the re-
turns has nothing to lose and everything
to win, while the apparently successful
man has everything to lose and nothing
to win. Though of course in both cases
both are sure to lose money in a contest
il one should be instituted under the
old legal rule that in law contests, the
winner is loser.

Twelve hundred saloons closed their
doors in West Virginia on Tuesday when
that state Joined the rest Of the prohibi.
ton states. There are now nine states
in which. total prohibition is law, while
there is very large amount of dry ter
ritory in other states under local option.
The nine prohibition states are North
Dakota, Georgia, Kansas, Maine, Okla
homa. Tennessee. Mississippi, North Car.
olina, and West Virginia. What the
final result will be to the liquor business
in the whole county seems pretty clear.

DISTINCTION WITH
OUT DIFFERENCE

The part of the foregoing statement
from the Pioneer Express which says
that by resolution the county commits.
eioners directed the county auditor to
hold up the salary of the sheriff until he
proceeds to collect ALL DELINQUENT PER.
soNAL TAKES is false. The commission
ers never passed any such resolution.
The only resolution that body passed
relative to the delinquent personal tax
collection matter was the following ap-
pearing in the minutes of the board OF
May Is:
Wheras report required by section
1855 of the Revised Codes of North
Dakota for the year l905, relating to
uncollected personal property taxes,
ed bv law, therefore county auditor
is instructed to vlth held the issuance
of warrant in payment of salary of
sheriff until further order by the Board
of County Commissioners.
Further comment is unnecessary. The
deliberate attempt OF both the Pink
Paper and Pioneer Express to falsely
represent the action of the board Of
county commissioners before the people
in order TO make political capital against
those who are now candidates for re-.
nomination at the Primary election, is
apparent on its very face. In this we
see old county seat removal fight revived
against these commissioners, BY the en-
emies of removal, because Of their atti-
tude in favoring petition for removal
Cavalier Chronicle.
The Chronicle makes q great distinc-
ton IN case where there is no diff.
ference. While it is true that the county
board did not directly say COLLECT" they
did say "report according to Sec. 1866.
As a matter of fact, it ir Sec. 1854 that
orders the sheriff to make a report, while
Sec. 1856, the gist of which, relative to
this discussion,is in the following words,
- IF the sheriff is unable to collect
any of the taxes on his list y = = he shall
write on the margin opposite the name
Of each person = + + the word ''uncol-
lected" and append to such list his af-
tdavit y = stating that he has made
dilligent search and inquiry for goods
and chattels out of which to make COL
lection = y = and is unable to make and
collect the same.''
The Chronicle says that the county
board did not order sheriff to collect
they only ordered him to make IRE.
