They saw in the recent election that

there is any way in which it can be

last July, under the auspices Of the
Nation Aerial Coast Patrol commits

f. Peary is chairman, with the CO.
operation of John Hays Hammond,
Alan R. .Hawley and myself.
This unit earned the distinction OF
participating in the first naval maneu.
vers held last September under most
adverse conditions, and located ships
of the attacking feet as we'll as mines.
On September 8 one Of the Curtiss
seapanes Of the unit went out to look
for the two torpedo boat destroyers
representing the enemy attacking
fleet. The fog prevented the aviators
from seeing further than six miles
and when they were about % miles
outside New York harbor they were
caught in a thunderstorm.
But they located the destroyers,
Flusser and Warrington, unknown to
the latter, and reported them to the
Atlantic Yacht club
It is unlikely war conditions will
make possible raids by either Zeppe
Inns or aeroplanes. but it is by no
means impossible that a hostile Ger
man raider. should bring one or more
aeroplanes within reach of our coast,
or even that a submarine, with Sc
cret base on the Atlantic coast, should
bring over such raiders.
Facing the possibility Of such &C.

craft gun defenses, will have to be re.

tenor, possibly the greatest favorite
in the singing world today, will make
his first visit to North Dakota, com.

EMBRY'S RECORD.

Mr.. Embry, candidate for Repre-
sentative. is asking an endorsement
of his record in the Legislature. and
the organ supporting him has said
something as to his vote on the tax
bills. At the regular session he vot-
ed against the bill providing IL
cense on what is known as "Gypsys'
rowing over the State. trading horses
and feeding out Of the fields and gar
dors o. the Farms. He was reported
rs favoring 4 special session Of the
Legislature to pass now tax laws. He
seemed to think there was an emcr-
gcncy. The session was called. Mr..
Embry was there at $40 per dav
Note his record on these important
bills. House Bill number one pro-
vided for the creation o. the State
Tax Commission and on the passage
of this he is recorded as not voting.
House Bill number two classified
property for purposes of taxation,
released stocks and bonds from loca,
taxes and placed the burden on real
estate and other tangible property.
On this he did not vote. Again on
the bill exempting live stock from
local taxation Mr.. Embrv did not
vote. Then on the bill providing q
tax on the race tracks Of the State
Mr.. Embry is recorded as not voting.
On the proposition to tax rectifed
whskey fifty cents in lieu Of five
cents per gallon. he voted mo" He
voted for the bill to abolish the office
of Assessor. He did not vote on II.
b. No. 10, authorizing taxes for roads
and bridges.
As climax to this re~aIkable rec
ord he voted against bill number 40
which provided for taxing the great
oil interests, and against bill number
so to put tax on the great coal in
terests.
We do not know how this record
appeals to the farmers and laborcrs,
but TO US il looks lust little like
more interest was taken by eur rep
resentative in sens o. the classes
than in the aaSses o. which h;~ cen
stituency is largely composed.

The veters in the northern part Of
the county are reminded that the or
der changing the magisterial dis
tricts. so as to bring them in a days
ride of their justice, was drawn and
ordered to be entered on the 18th day
Of June; that it was held up by the
Republican County Clerk until the
afternoon Of the next day when a pc
tition, headed by some of the Repub-
lican candidates, was filed enjoining
the entry of the judgment. The
Court of Appeals decided that Judge
Wilson's judgment was proper and
that these candidates had no right to
prevent the entry Of the courts or

publican effort to retain that "shoe
string" district and the "debt-in-
ereasing" Republican Fiscal Court,
the change can not be made until af-
ter the election.

|. Just few Of our citizens need to
catch the spirit Of Perry Crowder. a
former Ohio countian, who has an in
teresting and patriotic letter in this
ISSUE Of The Herald. For many years
Mr.. crowder was active and proni-
.nent in Republican politics o. this
county. He did not always agree
with the methods and manipulations
OF the party leaders. ard when he
found that unjust and unfair blows
were being struck to members of his
party, he repudiated the actions Of
the offenders with telling effect. His
letter. with the true American ring,
shows that his heart is still in the
right place and that he is standing
squarely and enthusiastically behind
President Wilson in this great crisis.
Hurrah for Perry!
