Senator Williams Contempt
For the Press.

The following interesting editorial
is taken from the Clarksdale Regis
ter, one of Senator Williams most
loyal and staunch supporters for
many years:
Senator John Sharp Williams is
one of the men who endorse the idea
that country newspapers should .pa-
triOtically" give their space free of
charge to the government. Writing
to A. ID. Fansler, publisher Of the
Carroll News OF Walden, Miss., SEN
atOr Williams says:
II should think that anybody own
ing . newspaper would be very glad
to help sell liberty bonds for the sake
Of the honor and safety OF the coun-
try without desiring to be paid for
everything good said about them. as
II 1t were advertising space. How
eyer, IL there be any editors who do
not want to do it al they have to do
II to cay nothing about them and let
them Alone"
This 10 Mr.. Fsnsler's reply in part
to senator Williams:
In response to yours of the 18th,
In which You say. Il should think that
any body owning = newspaper would
b very glad to help cell liberty bonds

viii cay. with the came degree Of con-
1tsto0cy, that the government should
ask the railroads for free transporta-
ton Of men and munitions. The pur-
chaser Of the bonds 10 paid interest.
Why not ask thu purchaser to accept
the bonds without interest?
I'VE don't suppose that you belong
to the class Of Missistippians who,
ask him for . sample copy of his
paper; who like tho paper and are
going to take it, but who never get
any further than the sample copy
stage.
I'VE have about arrived at the con-
clusion that it is . mistake to keep
men in public Office too long. They
get bevond the people and the life lin
times like these) narrows Their vision.
They lay great stress upon protection
of the farmer in the growing of war
wheat and upon everything else nec-
essary to the country's successful
more the appeal of newspaper pub
fishers for a square deal.
1.-The time is rapidly approaching
when newspapers will be in q position
to get what is coming to them for
services rendered,
Right now you are the court of
last resort and we are compelled to
yield to your ruling"
Mr.. CORTLAND Smith, of the Amer
lean Press Association. addressing
Senator Williams on statements made
in his letter to Mr.. Fansler. says in
his concluding paragraph:
I'VE firmly believe that advertising
is not an expense, but an Investment,
and we know for every dollar the
government pays in advertising it will
sell many bonds and save at least ten
times the amount of money that it al
ready has spent in other directions in
selling the first liberty loan ISSUE"
We might further ask of the Sena-
tor if he is contributing his time and
talent to the government in this time
OF stress. or is he dipping his hand
as deem into the nations treasury as
he ia permitted? Or. is he contribut-
ing his income to the upkeep of the
government of cultivating his acres
at heavy expense and turning over
the fruits of his labor to feed the sol
diers now in training?
Newspaper publishers as whole
are true to their country and what it
stands for, and deny to no man just
Congressman are not-in fact some of
them seem to be attempting to force
the newspapers of the country to
stand in awe of them feat which
they will never accomplish, as is the
case in Germany, SO long as America
stands as the peer of democracy.

THE SWAIN SHOWS
Are paramOunt-COm Soon to
Aberdeen.

By universal assent the w, [.
Swain Shows are conceded to be the
most attractive amusement enter
prises that have ever toured the ter
ritory south of the Mason and Dixon
line. And in giving them pre-em-
inence in the South, it is equivalent
to the bestowal of the blue ribbon
badge of superiority throughout the
length and breadth of the United
States, as the long summer tenting
seasons have been the means of at
tracing into this territory the very
best amusement organizations in
America, thus creating a standard
of excellence seldom attained in
more northern ATTITUDES. The SUI
preme success enjoyed by the Swain
Shows is attributable solely to the
infusion of modern business meth
DDS, coupled with keen insight into
the wants and desires of its patrons
and its ability to supply these wants
and desires. Emissaries are main
tanned fin New York. Chicago and
other large producing centers with
instructions to procure at any cost
the producing rights for new plays
that would appeal to Swain patrons.
Such lavish methods are only prac-
ticable where a large following has
been built up by years of honest,
straightforward dealing with the
public, and where a clientele of suf-
ficient volume is assured to fill
seating capacity commensurate with
the heavy expense involved in Sc
curing this class of entertainment.
Diversifcation is another poten-
tial element in the supremacy of the
w. |. Swain Shows. During the
period of one week allotted to each
town or city the patrons of these
shows are entertained by nearly
every form of diversion known to
the amusement business. Drama,
chautauqua, minstrels, musical re-
vues and farce comedies are pre-
sented in succession and by the best
artists obtainable in their various
lines. Popular band concerts by
day and serenades by night are given
free to the populace of each town
during each annual Swain week
The inhabitants of the smaller towns
and cities are extended the privi-
lege of attending performances equal
in excellence to those given in larg-
er cities, at cost many times less
than his city brother pays, and in
we'll appointed pavilion with twice
the capacity .of a city theatre. Is it
any wonder that the Swain Shows
are universally popular?

Next Tuesday, Sept, 25th, has
been set for conyening OF the State
Legislature in extra session to es-
tablish a new basis for tax assess
ments as proposed by the State
Board of Equalization. A 100 per
cent. basis is planned. The COVER
nor also recommends the enactment
of several war measures, including a
statute permitting soldiers to parti-
cipate in all elections, even if on
foreign soil. 1t is expected the SEES
sion will last at least six weeks.

A stormy session is in prospect.
The designing politician and dem

candidates who are already sprouted

If resorted to, will react to strengthen

tofOre been called a 'Vardam an coun-
ty,' made a challenge to the friends
of Maj. Vardaman after reading what
he said were the exact words of Mai,
Nardaman about the United States
stabbing Germany in the back while
England and France had her down.
He asked, If there is man in this
vast audience that approves such ut
terances l want you to stand He
waited, but not seat was vacated"
The Weekly is not surprised that
no person vacated his seat when the
charge crediting Mr. Vardaman with
saying that the United States stab
bed Germany in the back while Eng
land and France had her down. The
reason is apparent that no one OF
that crowd. whether a friend or an
OppOser of Mr.. Vardaman, believed,
or was willing to put that construc-
ton upon Mr.. Vardaman's words.
Every one had read what Mr.. Var
daman had said in the interview
which had gone the rounds of the
press. Every one of that crowd was
intelligent enough to distinguish be-
tween a direct statement and a fig
ure of speech used by way of en-
phasis. and refused to acquiesce in
the far fetched and unfair interpre-
tatiOn. Otherwise they regarded the
proposition to stand up in much
the same way as a congregation
viewed the senseless proposition of
a preacher in revival meeting who
requested all who wanted to 60 to
heaven to rise to their feet-not one
responded. Every person viewed
the proposition as absurd and con-
Trajectory of the universal human
intention. The crowd at Ripley,
doubtless, viewed Mr.. Harrison's in
depreciation of the Vardaman figure
of speech as equally absurd and re-
buked it with equal indifference,
thereby signifying their positive me-
CATION Of the Harrison construction.

MUIR ELECTION
NOT EFFECTIVE
Crawford Still Holds Board
of Regents Presidency,
SAYS LANCER

Bismarck, N. D., Nov 2s.-Lewis
#. Crawford OF Sentinel Butte is stili
president of the North dakota board
Of regents. despite an election held
by the Frazier regents at the last
meeting of the board, when they
named Robert Muir of Sarles to this
office.
Attorney General william S. Lang
er, who to date has fought all the
governors battles for control Of this
board, so advised J.. w. Wilkerson,
secretary Of the state university, in
an opinion handed down Wednesday.
Secretary Wilkerson had written
the attorney general requesting an
opinion on the grounds that import
ant documents awaited the signature
OF the president of the board and
that Dean Babcock desired to know
which of the contestants might be
considered the legal president.
Immediately upon receipt Of your
letter / examined the minutes Of the
state board of regents from Oct. 30
to Nov. 2 conclusive, and from the
record as shown in the Office of the
secretary of the state board OF re-
gents it is my opinion that the rules
and regulations adopted by the form
er board Of regents for its official
procedure were not rescinded by the
present board, and that the former
rules provided that the president
should be elected for a period of one
year. Investigation shows further
that although an attempt was made
to elect Hon. Robert T. Muir presi-
dent, yet the said election was OF no
force and effect because it was in
conflict with the rule established by
the former, board of regents. and
consequently the action was illegal.
Consequently Lewis F. Crawford con-
tinues as president of the board of
regents and he is the proper person
to sign the vouchers as president of
the state board OF regents, says Mr..
LANCER in his opinion.

how becaus it is just like the ex-

1. Our town is named Donaldson.

very many people can spell it.
2. Population is $50 excluding
woman and children.
3. It is Kittson county. Some
people say Kitchen county but that
it not right.
4. Their are two hotels here in
town. One is painted yellow. The
other one has not got much paint
left on it but it is easy to find be-
caus it is so big.
5. Their are lots of farms around
here. Their is Fairview Farm and
Hookemcow Farm. The incest one
hasn't got no name. It has got a
sement block house with a tour on
it. They use the old house for
a sheep pen. They are all on the
Scenic Highway becaus I looked on

From Cass Lake (Minn.) Times.

NJ. N. Kohl Of Cass Lake, Minn.,
chairman of the Publicity commit
tee Of the Minnesota Scenic High
way association sent out a set of
questions to all the 40 towns along
the Minnesota Scenic Highway. He
is preparing a tabular statement
which will be inserted in the book
which will be off the press in June.
This book will contain over 100
pages Of maps, tables, cuts of seem
cry, and reading matter. Replies
to Mr.. Koll's request started to
come in within twenty-four hours
after he sent them and he is much
pleased at the ready responses.
Mr.. Kohl received one letter from
Donaldson, Minnesota, (if you do
not know where that is you will
know when you have read the let
ter) which he thinks is too good
to keep till the book comes off the
press, so he has handed it to us
for publication. It follows:
