: That VindicatiOn

The Strandburg Tribune came
out last week with a heading
across the full width Of the paper
Tribune Vindicated.' While we
cannot blame Editor Vernon for
being tickled to death because his
second-class mailing privilege was
not taken from him, nevertheless
just to keep the record straight we
want to call attention to some facts
as to this "vindication,' and we
for this purpose copy the body of
the letter which he received from
| the post office department, which
is as fcllows' !
Dear Sir: II
Receipt is acknowledged Of your
response Of the Sd inst. to the ci-
tation issued to you to show cause
why the second-class mailing privi-
lege of the Grant County Tri-
bune' should not be revoked.
Your explanation and statements
have BEEN noted and this office is
pleased with your statement that
it is your purpose Loyalty to sup
port the Government in the prose-
cution of the war, and through the
columns of your publication to
foster spirit Of loyalty on the
part of its readers. Your assur-
ance in this respect will be accept
ed and the case closed. 1t is hoped
that you will be successful in your
undertaking.
Respectfully,
A. Nd. Dockery
Third Assistant Postmaster General.
1t will be noticed from reading
the above that Uncle Sam has dealt
very kindly with Mr.. Vernon in
not revoking his second-class mail
ing privilege, and he says lis
pleased with your statemept that it
is your purpose to loyalty support
the government in the prosecution
of the war;" ETC., and ''your as
surance in this respect will be ac-
cepted and the case closed" Moth
ing is said however about the con-
fiscation of the offensive edition Of
the Tribune with the 'spit on the
flag" article in it. Surely if the
government thot the article would
be great help in floating the lib
erty bonds, or in securing volun-
teers for the army, or in bringing
the jisaffected into loyal support
of the war program. the postal au-
thorities would have ordered a re-
lease Of the papers that were held
up, and the government authorities
that stopped the circulation of the
offensive papers would have receiv-
ed reprimand. But nothing like
this has happened; the contiscated
papers are still in limbo, and the
government probably thinks they
are doing more good there than
they would be if circulating among
the thotless or the angry people
who would be liable to read the
offensive article.
Our Uncle Samuel is very lem
lent boss, particularly where he
thinks the offender is more to
blame in his head than in his heart,
and he probably thot that the warn
ing he had given Mr.. Vernon thru
the threat to revoke the Tribune's
mailing privilege would be suffici-
ent to brace up his loyalty for the
future and there would not likely
be any more "spit-on-the-flag'
nonsense. Your uncle knows there
are some queer birds flying around
these days, and he probably recog-
nized that we have one Of them
out here in Grant county.

CITY SCHOOLS
OPEN SEPT. 4,
BOARDDECIDES
Rural Institutions, How
ever, to Delay Opening
Until October

Although E. @. Guthrie. secretary
of the city board or education had
made announcements to the effect
that there would be no change In
the time Of opening the City schools.
nothing official was done on the mat
ter until at a meeting of the board
of education last night when the date
for the opening OF the term was fix
ed for Tuesday, September 4, as in
former years.
The rural schools OF the county
will open a month later and will
have their term continued up until
the first Of July. The reason given
for not opening the city schools at
a later date Is that there is but a
small percentage of children from
the rural districts of the county or
the state attending Fargo high or
the graded schools.
The report of the treasurer Of the
board shows $103,S07.22 In. each
which includes the $4,000 insurance
money received from the policy
carried on the old high school which
was destroyed by fire. The board
directed that the secretary place ad-
vertisements for bids on coal as well
as for new hues in the boiler Of the
Lincoln school. The coal bids with
but one exception were rejected at
the last special meeting because of
the high prices asked by the dealers.
