in LOVING MEMORY
OF LITTLE OWEN BURT

On Monday night, Septem-
Der 25th, the death angel en-
tered the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Vester Burt and claimed for its
victim their precious baby, age
seven months and six days.
He was sick but a short time
but his suffering was very
great.
But now he has gone to a
better home where suffering is
not known. We know the home
will be lonely without him, but
God knows best. He was a
bright, beautiful little treasure
and made the home so happy
during his short stay here on
earth.
He leaves a father, mother
and others to mourn his death.
Dear parents and loved ones
may be bow with humble sub
mission to the will of our heav-
emily Father and may He COM
fort and enable us to look be-
yond to that day when we car
meet little Owen.
His Grandfather
and Grandmother Brooks.

When Tuesday. March 2lst, ar
rives there will be found to exist
a rather unique situation in the
provisions for casting ballots of
those who live Immediately out
side of the territory embraced in
the limits of the city of Linton.
Practically, there is an area that
is a sort of mo mans land" so
far as voting is concerned.
Those persons just outside of
town who have heretofore voted
in Linton are technically without
a polling place. The commits
sioners left the matter simply
with A. N. Junge, of Linton, ap-
pointed as inspector for Linton
precinct. However, Mr.. Junge
lives in Linton and the city au-
thorities have the power of APP
pointing the inspectors within
the city limits. Recently, the
city council met and designated
three polling places--one in each
ward--for the presidential pri-

Frank S. Henry, State Land

county auditor asking him to ad-

purchase school lands to write
direct to his office giving the de-

desire to buy, so that the board

may know how much Of a de-
mand there is for the state Of
these lands in Emmons county:
and if there is a sufficient de-
mand, to order the appraisal and
sale in the near future. It will
be remembered that these lands
were appraised and advertised
for sale in the year of 1906, but
owing to crop conditions the sale
was called off. Since then, it is.
believed, the lands have doubled
in value and it will be necessary
to appraise them again. If you
desire to purchase any of these
lands, write Frank S. Henry

of the land, and if you can, with,

The European war has proven
to be such a vast and terrible ca.
tastrophe that the citizens of this

peace at any price" idea even at
the cost of self-respect. A ma
ton, however, can only gain the
respect of the world by being as
willing to live and die for its
principles under favorable con-
ditions as when we appear to be
able to handle the situation
easily. Wilson has voiced the
secret thought of the genuine
patriotic American citizen when
he points out that we should
avoid trouble in every way pos
sible except at the cost of self-re
spect.

wards for voting purposes, and
that according 20 statsite' the vot-
ers Of the city must vote in their
respective wards. Now comes
the question as to wlat us to be
done about those persons living
in the territory which has Fheen
known as Linton precinct and
which is outside Of the city
limits.
County Auditor Snyder states
that he is up a stump," so to
speak, as to what to do about the
matter. He says that he could
call meeting Of the boardsof
commissioners, but that it is
really too late for their action to
be legal. On the other hand, he
has no arbitrary power to order
the voters in mo mans land to
go to any particular ward to
vote. He has decided, however,
to- give notice that the poll:books
on hand for Linton precinct will
be turned over to the officials d
the second ward and that these
persons should go'to the fire-hall
to vote. :
In this way those wishing tc
vote can do so and any Legal
complications that might arise
can be thrashed out afterwards
In view of the fact that there is
likely to be but little enthusiasm
in the presidential primary The
plan may work out without
trouble. However, the situation
appears to have developed be
cause the proper officials did moi
give the matter their attention il
time, and the mix-up has thus re
suited.
At present, it is the plan fol
those voters living in "no-man's
land" to 60 to the fire-hall, OF
the voting place of the second
ward, to cast their ballots in the
presidential primary. They are
not, however, to vote for any city
officials in the second ward.

1t is generally admitted that
the true value of our leading
public men to the interests of the
nation are not to be determined
during their years of activity.
Historians of future generations
are more likely to determine
such matters. In view of these
facts it is worthy of considerable
speculation as to just what place
Woodrow Wilson will eventually
occupy in the roll of presidents.
Perhaps no president has
shown so many varied sides to
his official character as Woodrow
Wilson. At one time the critic
will be inclined to treat him
more or less harshly and to call
attention to well-defined weak
nesses. Then suddenly the pres
ident will display characteristics
that place him head and Shout
ders above the average states
man. Right now Wilson seems
to have forgotten all he knows of
political expediencies and is sim
ply talking and acting as a red.
blooded American citizen. And
he seems to be again securing
the respect and admiration of not

nation would resent from Spain

coming from Germany or Eng.
land, or any Of the other warning
nations. Wilson is voicing this
idea in no uncertain terms when
he is bending every effort to pre-.
vent the rank and file of congres.
sional timber from passing a res,
olution that would be an act Of
cowardice and a confession to
the world that we will do any.
thing, be anything or say any
thing rather than get into
trouble.
The president has forcefully
stated that any and all rights of
American citizens shall be re-
spected the world over, and that
we cannot afford to protect our
personal interests by deviating in
the least measure from such
principles. 1t is a well-known
fact that our citizens are sup
posed to be protected in coming
and going across the seas, de.
crees of any of the warning ma
tons Notwithstanding. Despite
this fact there are many men in
Congress who are anxious to pass
a resolution which would prohib.
it American citizens from taking
passage on any passenger boats
of any of the warning nations
which Germany has declared to
be her prey.
While it is but right and pro
per that the individual citizen Of
this nation should remember the
best interests of his country tc
the extent that he would not
needlessly bring about a condi
ton that might draw the United
States into trouble. Yet, it has
been established for years that
these citizens must be protected
in time of war among our nations
the same as in time of peace.
And one of the satisfactory re
suits of the presidents stand is
the fact that many members oil
congress, both republican and
democratic, are standing by the
president in his determination.
Germany can be expected tc
] take any measure, whether
agreeable to international law OF
not, that may be vital to her in
terests. But this nation cannot
and should not be controlled by
such measures. Only by such {
course can our integrity be re
spected throughout the world

hope that the peace at an,

tEf - II
Right now we are having al
chance to see the practical work
ings of the present direct pri-
mary system. It is but a short
time yet until fte presidential
primary in this state. Never
theless, the voters of North Da-|
'kntai know about as much about
who'wiH be logical candidates for
republican presidential nonina-
ton as poodle-dog does about
Latin. Hence, their voting for
president this year win be about
as intelligent as Greek to a Co
manche Indian. Four years ago
the stare wentto La Toilette, of
Wisconsin, who succeededin cap
turing the delegation from his
own state-.and there his aspira-
tions ended.
The fact,is that numerous and
sundry individuals will conceive
a liking for a trip to Chicago to
the national conventions. They
will file petitions at little or no
expense, and some Of them will
get the necessary votes. They
fwill4go to Chicago and cast their
Votes for the candidate receiving
the state preference. When that
candidate stands no further show
theywi1l cast their votes accord
ling to their own sweet will. The
individual voters of the state will
have had mighty little to do with
the result.
And still, the presidential pri-
mary will mean a pretty hand
some outlay Of, cash for taxpay-
Iers of the state. OF course, the
newspapers are getting their
share Of the expense money, and
perhaps they haven't any kick
coming. But is the present cleo
ton system sensible? That is
more important than the ques-
ton of how much there is in it
for some one.

An unusual situation has

XII uAuouo1 SAIudllOll lids Q6-
veloped in this county. Articles
purporting to be facts have been
published in newspaper at Lin
ton regarding the editor Of the
Record. Said articles were pre-
stunned to be written by one other
than the editor of the publication
carrying the same as they are
labeled Subscriber" The
charges are untrue, ,andathe per-
son attacked has eausedaa notice
to be served on the publishers by
the sheriff demanding a retrac-
ton. TWAS impossibIe4to get at
the person responsible for the ar
sticle because the authorship is
not common knowledge. The
publishers practically refused to
retract the statements made
and they failed to make known
the author.
Is it to be assumed that there
is no redress under such circum-
stances? Is it possible for the ed
itor of the paper to ,snugly de-
clare that he knows nothing per-
sonally about the truth or falsity
of the statements, and let lit go at
that? Certainly he doesn't, for
he wasn't here at the dates men
toned. But, las "a newspaper
publisher lheiis certainly respon-
sible to the extent Of making GER
tain that any charges which he
allows to appearsin his paper are
true.
There is no way that action
can be secured which will deter
mine the facts except to hold the
t1uDttoilc1S dSN1dHtdUde DIS pro-
tvided by law. For such reasons
papers have been prepared in a
libel suit with E., B. Streeter as
plaintiff and, JIM. Stewart and
Lloyd Stewart defendants.
In many states there is agita-
tion tossecure legislation which
will require the signature to be.
published where individuals are
attacked by persons other than
the publishers. In that way it
would make people think twice.
before publishing stuff in a news
paper which was not the truth.
