Trouble Over
County Printing

Bonner county commissioners
have been staging an interesting
squabble over the county print
ing contract into which, at a re-
cent hearing before Judge Dunn
of the district court, the name
Of Secretary of State Barker was
drawn. 1t seems the old board
of commissioners composed of
Republicans, gave the county
printing to the Review, the news
paper the secretary of state edit
ed before taking Office. The new
board Of commissioners cOmpOs-
ed of Democrats, rescinded the
contract and gave it to the News,
a Democratic paper. The Re
view took an appeal to the dis
trict court, claiming that the con-
tract was legally let and binding.
The court sustained the conten-
ton. II was claimed at the
hearing that no public notice was
given of the intentions of the
commissioner to let the contract
and evidence was given showing
McColl, former Republican COM
missioner, had held a conference
with the secretary of state while
he was at standpoint and that the
Review had its contract drawn
two or three days before the COM
missioners let it. Commission
err McColl admitted that he did not
want the News to get the contract.

YOUNG AND VIGOROUS AT 80

Sam Y Gordon's Interlake Tribune
was 80 years old last week. 1t is the
same old reliable blanket folio with
its gorgeous head that it was when
Sam started it thirty years ago.
For 80 years, three decades, the
sturdy Scotchman of the clan of Cor
don has presided over its destinies.
Were he to write recapitulation OF
his experiences, reverses, discourage
ments and success in starting a news
paper on the extreme frontier and
hanging on during the lean years and
by pure pluck and persistency making
it finally, not only financial success
but also a power; not only in the To-
cality where it is published, but all
over the state, it would read like q
romance.
Sam has two boys who are running
a paper successfully in Montana, but
they will never make the newspaper
men that he is. They have had it toe
easy; they have never received the
stern practical knowledge in the col
lege of adversely from which their
Dad graduated.
And in all the 80 years no one has
ever discovered what the "Y." stands
for.

$50" FOR BELDEN

In the passing of C. D. Belden, for
many years editor of the Austin Tran
script, another of the few remaining
non-commercial newspaper men of the
state was lost to the profession. He
belonged to that class who personally
conducted his own editorial columns.
His opinions were not always right
but they were fearlessly expressed
and were always honest. Financial
reasons were never taken into consid-
GRAFTON in the policy of his paper. Pub
lie interests were always considered
in preference to profit. He never
made much money in the newspaper
business, but his paper was a vital
force in shaping the destinies of the
state and especially the southern por-
ton. He did not leave many shekels
to his heirs, but left them the price
less inheritance of an unblemished
reputation for usefulness.

LOSE IN A TEN INNING GAME
The Greys Kept Alexandria Scorless
for Eight Innings When Luck
Broke Against Them.

Sank Centre continued their good
ball playing squirt Sunday when they
lined up against Alexandria at that
city and played a ten-inning game
despite the fact that they lost
by to count. Let it be known thai
Alexandria has as fast a team as
there is in the league at the present
writing, having held St. Cloud to q
tie in their last game.
Bradley started the melee with a
Safety First" took second on Jacob
sons sacrifice bunt, but was unable
to count, those following proving easy
outs. Alex drew blank. Again the
Greys came back at them in the
second when Weisner hit safe and
romped home on crack on the nose
of the ball by Arnestad that went
good for four sacks. Ole's home run
evidently looked like too good thing
to the Alexandria umpire for the Sank
Centreites and he retaliated by calling
Weisner out for not touching THIRD
base, only one run counting. Yet that
run should have spelled victory.
From then on there was nothing do
ing in the score column until the ninth
frame, Fisher having the Alexandria
aggregation at his mercy all the way
and not a man got glimpse of third
oase. Sank Centre had the bases
clogged in several of the innings, but
when hits meant runs Knapton refus-
ed to loosen up and he grew better as
the game progressed. The spell was
broken in the ninth when Wills, for
Sank Centre, raped out a single
stole second and later scored from
third on a perfect single by Weisner.
Alexandria came back in their half
of this inning with a couple of hits,
this combined with slow fielding gave
them two scores. 1t stood two to two.
Sank Centre did their worst to put
one over in the tenth but failed, rain
putting damper on the game at this
time. Luck favored Alexandria, how
ever, and they put the winning run
over in their half with bad bounder
over Wills head, a grounder through
short when Lee was covering second
and Glockner's hit to right field.
Jake" should have cut off his man
at the plate, but the garden he was oc-
cupying was way below "sea level"
making the throw difficult one.
1t was Sank Centres game and
should have been brought home with
them, but the following perfectly le-
gitimate excuse should bear weight
with the fans: They went to Alexan-
dria without a catcher, not exactly
that either, for Schwartz played stel-
lar ball considering the fact that he
had not been in the game for two sea-
sons and he is entitled to a heap of
credit. A Mr.. Frank, of Brewer
vile, was signed up for Sundays

GERMANY'S REPLY

On July "a the United States form
ally notified the Imperial Government
of Germany, in third diplomatic note
that any REPETITION of acts complained
of, in which lives of Americans were
lost or endangered would be consider
ed by the Government of the United
States as decidedly unfriendly act"
which is the diplomatic way Of saying
an act of Hostility.
Germany made no official reply to
this note, but recently torpedoed the
Arabic, and as far as now appears
this torpedoeing was exactly on all
tours with her previous actions.
Of course there are many things to
be taken into consideration. The Ara
bic NAV have been under an armed
convoy when torpedoed, and If so she
had no neutral rights. Again she may
have violated a warning to stop which
if such was the case, the action was
justified. So far we have not had the
German side of the case.
But if it is true that she was blown
up on high seas, when not under con-
voy, and without warning, then under
the declaration it was decidedly un-
friendly act.
1t looks as though this was the case,
and that Germany serves notice on
the United States that she intends to
pursue her submarine warfare in her
own way regardless of what this gov
eminent may think or say. In other
words she does not intend to pay the
slightest attention to the protests OF
the United States. That seems to be
the case in a nutshell and it is up to
Uncle Sam to make good his protest
or get off the earth.

"BY PERSONS UNKNOWN"

The coroner's jury that sat on the
remains of Leo Frank, who was muir
dered by Georgia mob, who stormed
a state institution and defied the au-
thority of the state to secure him, rem
dered a verdict: "That he came to his
death by hanging at the hands of per-
sons unknown" Not the slightest at
tempt was made to discover the iden-
tity of the mob who perpetrated the
outrage. The proceedings were le-
gal farce from beginning to end. The
lynching was a disgrace to civilization
and the verdict a deliberate attempt
to protect the men who perpetrated
the crime.

game as receiver but his otherwise
good intentions met opposition when
they run up against the Long Prairie
management on his way to this city,
and they decided they needed him
more than the locals and the result
was that they cheated us out of his
services and perhaps the game. This
action on the part of Long Prairie is
in violation of the laws of the league,
and if they played Cook and Joe
Graves as well as Frank, they over
reached again and their to victory
over Osakis reverts to the latter.
Sank Centre and the rest of the wheel
members are "from Missouri" when
club pulls this kind of work.
Fisher, who has got away better
with the local club than any other
pitcher this season, was in good form
Sunday and whitfield 10 of his oppon-
ents and allowed six hits. Knapton
struck out nine and allowed eight hits.
Only one error was made by the To-
Gals and two were chalked up against
Alexandria

on. And so the pessimist has
been wailing about the poor corn
crop, with consequent bad results
on the price of hogs, and the wall
ing in some quarters is prolong-
ed. How ridiculous and how
thoughtless! One would think
the country was in danger of

teous yield Of vegetables, the
splendid grasses, all the wonder

God in His infinite kindness has
blessed this favored land.

WHY SHOULD HE WIN?

Just at this time, there is con-
siderable speculation as to the
identity of the individual who will
succeed to Senator Moses E.
Clapp's seat in the senate. After
viewing the situation carefully
and scrutinizing the field minute
ly, we are. moved to say that it
will be Senator Moses E. Clapp.-
Winnebago Enterprise.
When in the course of human
events it becomes necessary for a
standard Republican paper like the
Enterprise to boost the candidacy of a
man who has done as much, if not
more than any man in the country to
rip the Republican party up the back
a decent respect for the opinions OF
mankind demands that it give just
reasons for such boosting.
Senator Clapp has been many years
a senator. Despite his impressive
front and magnetic oratory the only
piece of affirmative legislation tc
which his name is attached is the
"Clapp Bill" permitting Indians OF
mixed-blood to dispose of their lands
which enabled the land sharks to rot
the Indians of their inheritance anc
pauperize them. Outside of this his
efforts have been confined to fulmina,
ting and frothing against Republican
candidates and Republican policies
Will the Clapp papers stand up or
their legs and give reasons why Re-
publicans should support the "Blacl
Buzzard ?"
