.PROFFERS SUPPORT
TO BURTNESS IN
COMING BALLOT
Many Give Assurance That
They Will Aid Republi-
can Candidate

Grand Forks, ". D., June 3D.
Support OF o. B. Burtness, Repub-
llcan nominee for congressman from
the First district. is being offered by
large numbers OF First district resi-
dents, according to letters received at
the Burtness headquarters In Grand
Forks.
One of the most interesting letters
Of endorsement is from p. c. NJ.
Hjelmstad, a prominent farmer of
Holmes, a point on the division line
between Grand Forks and Trail
counties.
In writing to Mr.. Burtness, Mr..
HJelmstad, in part, says:
Just to inform you that you will
have my vote on July 10 and my sup
port from now on.
I am a member Of the farmers or
ganization, believe the farmers have
right to organize as well as any
body else.
1T doesn't matter what line of busi-
ness they are in, and know you will
agree with me, you are not opposed to
this organization of ours. At least,
You have said you thought it was a
good thing.
':Now, am sure that you win, and
can, do as much for the farmers when
you are elected to congress as Mr..
Baer can. You were born and raised
on a farm. All of your folks are liy-
ing on farms and you certainly ought
to know the needs Of the farmers as
well as Mr.. Baer or anybody else.
Il want 1t understood that / am not
opposed to the league and the league
program. No, I am a member, and I
Will stick, but I am not in favor of
Mr.. Baer for congress. When we
farmers have a man whose record
will show that he will fight for what
is right and just, If he has got to fight
alone, let the fight be for the farmers,
business man, or anybody else.
Il hope you will win the race, Mr..
Burtness. hope the majority will see
this the same way as / do"
Well Equipped For Post.
o. B. Burtness in a statement issued
by Chairman P. o. Thorson Of the
campaign committee, is exceptionally
well qualified for the post Of congress-
man, to which he aspires and for
which he has been nominated by the
Republican party.
"Mr. Burtness should prove a most
useful member of congress. He has as
a preparation for the work he will find
awaiting him, both a college and law
education, rounded out by his years of
experience as a lawyer and public
official.
HE has the capacity for hard work
and application to detail which Is nee
essary to any one who expects to
master in all its phases each question
coming before him, and acquire the
exact knowledge essential to a correct
solution of each legislative problem.
This will prove Of especial Importance
in the work in the different commit
tees where the legislation adopted by
the house is really framed. His educa-
ton in law and experience as a lawyer
will prove of great value in enabling
him to determine the legal effect of
the many proposals which constantly
come up for consideration.
"Mr. Burtness also has the gift of
ready and convincing speech and the
ability to marshal his arguments in
an effective manner. On the important
questions which will be debated in the
house, Mr.. Burtness will undoubtedly
be heard in manner highly crafty
ing to his friends and constituents.

Under an agreement with the trade

tailers are adding so much to the cost,
officials say, that the price to the con-
sumner is far higher than it should be.
Bituminous jobbers will not be al

freight and their profit of % cents a

THE ESKIMO.
He Is Happy Mental and Pities the
Res OF the World.

Gregory Mason, in The Outlook:
Christian Leden, q young Nor
wegian explorer who has lived among
most Of the tribes of Eskimos, be-
lieves that in many respects the Esk-
limos, the the happiest people
in the world, and that in many respects
their civilization is the highest exist
ing today. Mr.. Leden has spent most
Of his time since 1909 living among the
Esl1imos, and he knows most of the
tribes that have been discovered by
white men.
I'm some ways we can learn as much
from the Eskimo" says Mr.. Leden,
''as he can learn from us. We COM
monty think that the world ends where
the timber line ends and where the
great Arctic waste begins. The Esk-
limo thinks that the world ends where
the ice ends and where the timber
begins. In many respects the Eskimo
civilization Is the highest in the world.
For instance, the Eskimos never in-
dulge in tribal warfare. They cannot
conceive how one whole nation can
make war on another. Occasionally
there are fights or duels between two
Eslkimos, but even these affairs are
rare, and, as a rule, are carried out
with a cold-blooded formality that
would astound us. One method for
is for them to swap blows until one
cries quits. A offers his shoulder for
B to strike, then B does the same for
A. Then A permits B to hit him on
the temple, and again B reciprocates.
This goes on until one man has had
enough, but there Is never any temper
shown. This Is usually just in sport to
see who can stand the hardest blows.
AS a rule, however, the real disputes

1t was we'll known that the white man
was not entirely human, but had in

In regard to- the origin of the Eski-
mos, Mr.. Leden says: "The most gem
orally accepted theory is that the
Eskimos belong to the Monaghan race.
and emigrated to this continent and
Greenland from Asia. Another theory
is that the Eskimos are the survivors
of a race who lived on the northern
part of our globe before the glacial
period" Mr.. Leden, however, as the
result Of his Investigations of the mu-
sic of the Esiximos which he has found
to be very similar to the music OF the
North American Indians, believes that
the closest relatives of the Eskimos
are these Indians OF our continent,
and not the Mongolians.

ATTACKS PENSION Law
BEFORE SUPREME COURT
Ransom County Treasurer Refuses to
Turn Over Ten Per Cent Assess
n1ent to Trustees of Fund.

Bismarck, N. D., June 30.-The con-
stitutionality of North Dakota
teachers retirement and pension act
was attacked in supreme court Friday
by Treasurer A. e. Hauge of Ransom
county, who appealed from a district
court decision unfolding the act.
Hauge declined to turn over to the
trustees Of the fund the ten cent per
capita assessment levied by law on all
children Of school age, holding that
such act would constitute an illegal
diversion of funds.
The trustees of the teachers fund,
John A. Haig and others, brought &C.
ton against the county treasurer to
compel him to make the assessment
They won the decision in the lower
court, and the Ransom treasurer ap-
pealed. He was represented by
States Attorney General H. A. Bron-
son.
In the course Of the arguments II
was stated that more than 800, 900
has accumulated in the retirement and
pension fund, while pensions due total
but $4,000.
