New Move In
Booze Situation
No Arrests Yet County Pays Wit
nesses-Notice to Retract Only
Development.

At last it appears that the object
of the so-called investigation is out.
The reason for the recalling of H.
A. Thoreson last Saturday and the
reason for some other mysterious
performances is explained in copy
of document which we print here
with.
1t didn't seem possible that sever
al weeks were needed to carry on a
more or less listless Investigation
when the states attorney had incon-
trovertible evidence that several
persons in Emmons county were
having liquor shipped here for H.
legal purposes.
1t was near the first of May that
this evidence was brought to the
attention of the states attorney.
Since that time what has been
the action of the states attorney?
He has subpoenaed people here and
there. and in many instances persons
who certainly had bought nothing
in the county and such fact was
generally known. He has done
everything but actually bring any
prosecutions of the blind-piggers.
Now the states attorney has
served notice on the writer to retract
some of the statements that discred-
it his conduct in the matter. Else
where in this issue appears an ar
tilce relative to the first matter of
H. A. Thoreson's complaint on cir
Gus day. Relative to that matter
the facts are that Thoreson went to
both the states attorney and the
sheriff and told them the facts re-.
garding Kundert's place. such facts
as later resulted in the sheriff's
seizure of the beer there. Although
he did not say in 30 many words, II
want Kundert arrested" no one but
mad man or q fool could misun-
derstand his purpose and the writer
is willing to leave the verdict to any
jury Of twelve fair men. On the
other matters the same might as
well apply.
q 1t is bad enough that it seems
next to impossible to get any sum-
mary action from the officers of
lawl enforcement in this county
without one of them trying to pull
libel auit because there are those
who take exception to his course.
The present course of the states
attorney bears the earmarks Of
another master mind at work.
AS will he noted the notice to. re-
tract is signed by '.H. C. Lynn,
State's,Attorney Of Emmons County
N. D., ''and 80 it is impossible to
determine whether the same is sup
posed to be the groundwork for q
civil or q criminal action for libel.
Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1915-07-01

However. let that be as it may, we
don't propose to let up on this fight
for the enforcement Of the law and
whether it be civil or criminal ac-
tion, we will leave the verdict with
the jury that tries the case-if the
gentleman in question brings it to
trial
II Is wonderful what startling
speed the states attorneys office
can develop if the action is against
the writer. This is contrast, too,
the equally wonderful lack of speed
when it comes to prosecuting those
men whom the Milwaukee records
and common report show to be law
breakers.
Above all, how does it come that
Kundert's beer was finally seized
and he later skipped town instead of
being arrested as he should have
been if he was doing anything that
required the sheriff to confiscate his
beer?
The states attorney has asked
witnesses if they were aware that a
man could not be arrested without
a warrant. Well and good. Why
no warrant?
But here is the copy of the notice
itself. Read it, Mr.. Reader, and
see if. anything therein contained
appears to be other than the prob.
able truth. And remember, too,
that Kundert is conspicuous by his
absence. The Record and a good
many others. too. we're particularly
anxious to see some of the men of
the Kundert stripe arrested most
especially to see what they would
have 10 say if prosecuted.

More Baseball.

Thursday of last week the Pollock
baseball team came to Linton for
the last Chautauqua gams.and for the
return contest after the 4-to.0 vic
tory they won from Linton in the
South Dakota town. The sailing
was not the best, however, in base
ball way and Linton ran up scores
faster than q darkey could eat fried
chickens.
In the first inning Pollock led
off with couple of scores on CON-
hination of errors and light hitting.
Linton came hack atreng, however.
and by the end Of the third there
was no doubt about the final result.
The score stood ten to two at that
point. Pollock picked of couple
more during the other innings, but
were never again dangerous. 1t
was sweet revenge for the shut.out
early in the year.
Lesssman, Of Strasburg. pitched
for Linton and Pollock had q new
twirler from Iowa. Wald, of Stras-
burg, PLAYED third for Pollock.

ticles. Unionism has nothing to do
with this affair.-G. L. S.

INTO I HE CAUSES.-t is in
very calm and pensive mood that l
feel bent on penning a few thoughts
on the shameful Iynching of Leo
Frank in Georgia and the causes
thereof.
That race theories which breeds
prejudice and makes the lynching of
negroes and Jews possible should be
taught in this day and generation
only shows that our much-bOasted
civilization is still far from perfect.
Our good missionaries spend for
tunes to bring the heathens to our
standing. They take it for granted
that we are all perfectly civilized.
The war of Europe, the lynchiEgs in
the south and the shooting Of stTik-
ers in Colorado should be sufficient
to convince those weIl-meaning peO-
pie to spend their money in teaching
our own people the gospel of love and
justice which, is sOrely neglected in
Europe and America.
Spinoza has taught us long ago
not to divide nor bewail, but to
understand men in any given sitUa-
ton.
Therefore before we condemn
Georgia for the inhuman crime
which was allowed to be committed
in it's midst we should examine the
kind of spiritual food which the peO-
pie of Georgia have been fed upon
for a couple of centuries.
We know that from very early
childhood in the most formative pc
Rod of life the soUtherners have been
taught that they were superior to any
other people on this planet, and that
the negroes were specially created to
be slaves for them. Such teachings
cannot bear very good fruit.
Men who have burrOwed deeply
into the workings of the human
mind would call the mental state
which such teachings induces a

little significance. Hence the posi-
bilities of Iynchings, wars, and gen
eral racial hatreds.
Therefore we ought to pity the
Georgians for having been misled
from early childhood and to try and
show to them that capital punish
ment is a relic of primitive savagery.
We should not commit the same
crime against the mob as they did
against Frank. We should expose
the leaders, and if their conscience is
not deadened beyond remOrse then
they will be punished far more than
by the banefUI doctrine of retaliation.
If we would only learn to carry out
the great lesson, ''That we should not
Judge others until we have been in
their Places" we would accomplish
much more. We would soften the
heart of humanity by such course,
while by capital punishment we only
harden it.
Oh, if we could only go into the
causes of things we would soon hear
the foetal throbs of the birth of a
new humanity, a humanity which
will temper justice with mercy.-Sam
Druck.
