The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1916-12-07

WE are informed this week by a man familiar
with the paper trade that before spring the news
papers would be obi ged to pay $40 per hundred
pounds for paper such as the Independent uses.
We now pay $500 per hundred for it, and a year
ago we paid So. IS per hundred for a better grade
of paper. Now there is absolutely no reason
for such a boost in the price of print paper, and
an administration that can raise the wages Of
the railway trainmen ought to be able to give
the people of the country some relief from the
hold up by the print paper trust.-Minot indie
pendent.

EDITOR MATT JOHNSON appears deplorably
obtuse when it comes to understandings the
Courant. Thus when we suggest a change in
the North Dakota ballot, modelled after the
Minnesota form, Matt pretends to think that
we thereby repudiate the Australian ballot sys-
tenn. We dislike to think that Matt is as dense
as he appears-in his editorial utterances.
Bless your heart, Matt, Minnesota has the Aus
tralian ballot system, but in a form far more
democratic than the one adopted3 in North Da-
kota under the decentralization regime. If
our memory serves us right. Matt clatnored
strongly for extending the operations of the
primary law to state Offices after it had been
tried out in the 1906 primaries for county Offices
only. But we are not mean enough to suggest
that he was opposing the primarily election
system. At any rate we are willing to stand by
our guns and assert that the North Dakota bal
lot is not Observation-Disclosures Matt may think VI
it.

IT is now the Minot Daily News, that being
the name assumed by the Optic Reporter. The
Daily News is rapidly forging to the front as
one of North Dakota's leading newspapers-in
fact it contains more news of western North
Dakota than any other daily. The Daily News
is also very fair and reliable in it's editorial
columns and should have the first call on sub
scriptions from this section of the state.

A FEW of the weekly newspapers of the
state are still publishing that Public, Forum
plate dope, furnished free by the National Lii
quor Dealers association, the telephone trust,
and big business generally. Publishers who
have no more regard for their readers than to
print this stuff, in order to save about 81. 30
a page in plate should get out of the business.
They are a disgrace to the profession.

ACCORDING to newspaper dispatches, a man
in the western part of the state tried to solder a
full gasoline tank. An explosion ensued where
in the man was killed with conclusion of the
brain. 1t hardly seems probable that any per-
son trying to solder a full gasoline tank would
die with conclusion of the brain.

DR.. c. H. Cook OF Natick. Mass.

at the Cook home had unusual fear
lures. First the farm has been &C.

lily since 1901. 1t was settled by
Charles Cook in that year. In 1904
a son Charles was born who succeed

The second Charles Cook died in 1868
and his son John 3. Cook when he
was married 81 years ago took pos
session Of the farm. BJohn b. Cook is
in his eighty-ffrst year and still lives
there with his wife and a son who
has just completed fine modern barn
1913 feet long. Although marriedf s
years there has not been a death in
the family of John B. Cook during alt
that time, and the old homestead has
been developed into one of the fer
tile and attractive farms of Vermont
