YEARS EXPENDITURES
COST HALF CIVIL WAR

Hatton, N. D., Oct. 9.-Hon. James
Manahan, former congressman of
Minnesota, opened here today his
third week of campaigning in North
Dakota for the Republican national
committee. He urged the election of
Hughes and the return of Senator
McCumber and Congressman Helge-
son to Washington to secure protec-
ton to the farmers Of the Northwest
and stop the waste of Democratic ex-
travagance in the big appropriation
bills.
"This Democratic congress and
President Wilson," said Mr.. Mama
han, "spent 81 1926, ,439,2O9 in cash
and authorized the expenditure OF
S231 ,9l5,27j in addition in one year,
which, in the aggregate is approXi-
mately one-half as much as it cost
Abraham Lincoln and IL Republican
congress to fight the entire Civil War
for five long years."
A large number of farmers attend
ed the meeting and Mr.. Manahan
spoke of the effects of the tariff in
the market place for farm product:
and it's relation to the fight made by
the Equity in which he took part as
it's attorney.

ROOSEVELT BLAMES
WILSON FOR RAID

New YORK, Oct. -"The
day of the ostrich-elocutionary
ostrich-policy for the United
States has passed." Col. Roose-
welt asserted in a statement pub
lished today.
The "U" boat raids off the,
coast of New England, Roosevelt
charged, were the direct result
of Wilson's submissive policy
toward the nations at war in re-
CARDS to the rights of neutrals.
The boldness of the Germans
in sending a submarine to way
lay the shipping on the American
coast was the elimination, he
said, of the European contempt
for the United States.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l1.-Allied

according to the latest terms
quoted in the United States

point a Successor.

Major Dana Wright resigned We'd
Stutsnlan county. His resignation
was accepted by the board Of com

Office that expires January next.
Mr.. Wright was called home by tho
county commissioners to either resign
from the Office Of sheriff or give up
his commission in the North Dakota
national guard, the states attorney
having advanced the opinion that
Mr.. Wright was holding two public
Offices and that it would be necessary
for him to give up one or the other.
Mr.. Wright stated this morning
that he could not consider giving up
his military office, as he had held it
so long, and it meant much more to
him than the county Office. He as
serted that in case the regiment
from North Dakota was not relieved
from duty on the border before the
expiration of his furlough, that he
would return to Texas. Mr.. Wright
has been granted fifteen-day leave
and has asked for a thirty-day eX-
tension.
When asked what he thought about
Texas as a place to live, he replied:
ooh, it isn't so bad; still l wouldn't

TREASURER BURKE'S
WASHINGTON DUTIES
Affairs OF Office Run Automatically,
On Fixed System.

Washington, oct. Z, 1916.-(Spec-
aD-Statements coming from North
Dakota to the effect that Ex-Governor
Burke, now Treasurer of the United
States and candidate for the United
States Senatorship, is being repre-
sented as one who is influential in
the management of the fiscal affairs
of the Government, because Of his
official position, are causing amuse-
ment here as do many unfounded
notions that gain currency thruout
the country in respect to conditions
in Washington.
Th fact is, neither Mr.. Burke nor
any other Treasurer of the United
States has had anything to do with
the fiscal affairs Of the position. The
Treasurer Of the United States acts
as head bookkeeper in an establish
ment where by long usage fixed sy-
stem of bookkeeping has been SO
fully crystalized that there is no
need for directive powers. The
Treasurer of the United States has
nothing whatever to do with the
banks of the country nor with the
issuance of currency. Such matters
are controlled by the Secretary Of
the Treasury thru the comptrollers
of the Treasury and the Currency.
In the earlier days Of the Govern
ment, it was found that bookkeep-
ing division was required and the
office of treasurer was created. In
the first instance, men familiar with
bank bookkeeping were appointed
treasurer because it was thot they
would be better able to devise sys-
tens of bookkeeping for the Treas
ury accounts. Soon afterward, ex-
pert accountants came into general
use but the Office of Treasurer was
never abolished. For 80 years nei-
ther Mr.. Burke nor any other treas
urer has in fact been required to
have special knowledge of the keep
ing of accounts.
More than so years ago a system
was devised whereby every account
was a check on every other account
and the Office of treasurer was SIM
ply a devise thru which the funds of
the country go. The treasurer re-
ceipts for all funds received and
signs all vouchers for disbursements
for money. Disbursements must be
upon a voucher from some depart
ment. For every penny the treasur-
er puts into the treasury he presents
voucher from some other official.
He does not necessarily know and is
not expected to know where the
money comes from or where it goes,
except by a voucher from some other
official. He is bookkeeper pure
and simple, without any authority
of any kind to dictate to any bank,
or person. He does not
have anything like the authority that
is exercised by a county treasurer in
North Dakota and any statements as
to what he proposes to do with the
funds or the banks of
the country would have no impor-
tance.

FATAL HOBO
TRAGEDY ON
TRAIN NO 2
Murder of Man on Engine
Tender in a Holdup.

A thrilling tragedy occurred Friday
night, as train No. 2 on the n. P.
was nearing the station Of Bloom.
Few of the details OF the killing are
known. James Sherr, and James
Weir, two men who have been con-
fined in the Stutsman county Jail,
were released yesterday from their
terms of imprisonment. The men
started to leave the town, and re-
sorted to stealing ride on No. 9.
They had climbed on the rear end of
the tender and were riding there
along with four or five other men
who had sought the same place for
a ride. While on the tender, two
men suddenly climbed over from
the roof of the baggage car, having
mounted the train at some point not
known. These two men attempted
to hold up the other men on the ten
der, and according to the report of
James Weir, one of the robbers

tempted to grab it and push it away.
In the scrap that followed Sherr was
shot three times, in the mouth, in
the stomach, and in the leg.
The engineer stopped the train at
Bloom, in the meantime all the 9TH
er men, except Weir disappeared.
The body was taken to the baggage
car and brought to Valley City, and
at hospital an operation was per-
formed last night, but the man died
in the hospital.
Sherr, the unfortunate virtim OF
the "stickup" men, had been held
with his partner for somewhat sim
liar attempt on his own part and had
served a term in the county Jail for
threatening a brakeman at Medina
and the term having expired the men
were released. The killing of Sherr
is an unusually bold deal, even fo
the professional holdup men who are
now in the state. Weir is held at
Valley City for the present.

LIVESTOCK MEETING
WELL ATTENDED
Points in u Good Dairy Cow Were
Explained.

Linton, Oct 1O.-The first day of
the livestock meeting was held on
the Linton branch Monday. The
cattle from the Experiment Station
attracted a good deal of attention
The lecturers are old hands at this
kind of livestock meeting which
made the lessons brought out very
valuable. The three meetings were

ton.
Beef cattle and dairying are the
two subjects taken up. Frank San
ford and John Christianson, two of
the lecturers, were pioneers in North
Dakota farming. They both started
out growing wheat but it proved a
failure. They then turned to stock
Mr.. Sanford to beef cattle and Mr.
Christensen to dairy cattle and
from then on they were both success
full and have become well-to-do. In
these meetings they have been relat-
ing the things that they found to be
essential to success. 1t may be sum-
med up as follows. Select good
sire and breed up the common COWS
that can be found on the farms. By
keeping on with sires from the same

ing. The result is that they each
have good herds of pure bred cattle.
Mr.. D. E. Willard of the Northern
Pacific railroad, gave talks on the
points of the dairy COW. Explaining
the outward signs of good milk pro-
duction. He claimed that the main
business of the dairy COW is to eat
and convert the feed that she eats
into milk. The first thing to look
for is big eater which is indicated
by big mouth, big muzzle, and a
big middle piece. A big chest indi-
Gates good lung power and the big
udder of the right kind indicates
that the food is converted into milk.

MARRIAGE ANNULLED
AFTER ELEVEN YEARS

New Rockford, Oct 5.-In the dis
trict court here the marriage of Ed
ward Clark of jamestown, and wife,
Adeline Moss, known as Adeline
Clark, was annulled. The defendant
did not appear and the case went by
default.
The Story of The Case.
In 1901 the legislature made a
statute which provided that divorced
persons could not remarry until after
the passage of three months. This
law was in effect in 1905 and had
not been amended in any manner.
On May q, 1905 Edward Clark was
granted a divorce from his wife in
the district court of Foster county at
Darlington and on the same day Mrs.
Adeline Van Scheiver was granted a
divorce in the same court from her
husband and given her maiden name
of Adeline Moss. The two recently
freed persons two days later joined
their hearts and hands into new
partnership at Aberdeen, S. D., to
evade the statute which would have
kept them apart for the full ninety
days. They came back to this state
and resided at Valley City and also
at Jamestown, where Mr.. Clark was
the representative of a nursery COM
pany and is now the representative
of the Fargo Seed Co., and has a
flour and feed business. This marri-
age to all intents and purposes was
a happy one and the couple lived to-
gether for the II years that have
elapsed and they have one child. a
boy.
Clark Starts The Suit.
Thirty days ago Mr.. Clark came
to this city and employed Judge
Jackson as attorney to file the nec-
essary papers to have the marriage
declared annulled and set forth as
never having existed. The defen-
dant was served with the papers at
her home in Valley City but she
made NO objections to decree being
granted.
