With Holding Money

Bismarck, N. D., Sept 21.-w. C.
Gilbreath, of Bismarck, former COM
missioner of agriculture and labor, is
holding $2,213.34 belonging to the
state, alleges State Auditor Kositzky,
which he has had for four years. Gil
breath. in his term, was custodian of
the funds appropriated for the Bis
marck 1ndustril Exposition by both
the state and Burleigh county. In
December, 1914, he refused to turn
the money back to the county on the
grounds that he did not know to
which government the unspent> bal
belonged. Since neither the
state or county has made any effort
to get the funds back, Gilbreath has
been holding them under his personal
account. II think he ought to be
compelled to turn the money over to
the Red Cross with seven per cent in
terest," said Auditor Kositzky. Mr..
Kositzky is asking Governor Frazier
to act in the matter.

with poison toward his neighbors in
the towns and an insane desire to cap
ture the government for his own
class"
Townley still refuses to meet Rev.

Ray, Ariz., September %, 1918.
Dear Vernon: Received your letter
some time ago and was glad to hear
from you and that you are again
going to school for they are ones
most happy days. 1t doesn't seem
possible that I have been away
from home five months and out of
school that long, but l am out here
in these hills and mountains having
life easy and enjoying myself.
One couldn't wish for anything
easier or better any place. This
little town Ray is down in between
two mountains and our camp is
about 500 feet above the town so
you see that it is much different
from anything I was ever used to
back in old Missouri.
This is high altitude, a good
climate and it has begun TO get
real cool, but they say the winters
never get as bad as back there,
In the winter time we can be down
here in the valley and see snow
upon the mountains When we
came the air was so much lighter
than we we're used to that we
didn't have have hardly enough
wind to climb these bills So there
has been quite change one way
or the other since l left home. If
l can / am going to try and come
home in November or December,
but don't know whether I7will be
able to get furlouRh or not as
am the only one in this branch of
service here and I might not be
able to get one.
The boys are out building bas.
ket ball ground now. We have
basket ball, volley ball, foot ball
and base ball outfits and boxing
gloves. Another fellow and l put
on boxing bout down town the
other night That is about the
only exercise I get as don't drill
or do any work.
There is lots of good hunting
here, wild hogs, deer, wolves. rattle
snakes and many little poisonous
animals that we have to be on the
look out for. Some jof the boys
are going out hunting tomorrow,
but fellow has to know how to
how to get upon them and about
where to find them before they can
have any luck getting any.
With best wishes to you all.

If the Government Took the News
papers.

A number Of our exc hanges have
been specializing on what might hap
pen if the government took over the
newspapers. Well, the first thing the
subscription price would be raised
about SO per cent and the sh eriff would
be kept busy chasing delinquents.
The next step would be to raise wages
about Is per cent and editors, who
hadn't had cent in six months they
could call their own, would be placed
on salary. The merchants who fail
to get their copy in until press day
would be hauled up before che council

THE PATRIARCH OF
JERUSALEM IS SAFE

Some anxiety has been expressed as
to the safety of the Latin Patriarch
of Jerusalem, and it was reported that
the Vatican had made representations
to the British Government to make
inquiries as to his place of abode and
to secure his release. The Patriarch
is safe, and a Catholic officer in the
British Forces in Palestine writes of
him as follows:
Eve were able to rescue the Patri-
arch from the clutches Of the Turks
and Huns. When these gentry had to
leave Jerusalem last winter the Patri-
arch, who is over 20, was taken to
Nazareth. During the summer months
he was given leave to go to Haifa. As
soon as our advance took place he
was ordered by the German command
er-in-chief to leave Haifa and Join him
in his rapid retreat. The Patriarch
replied by q medical certificate. and

fought the war. We must give to our
lawful authorities the same undivided
loyalty and devotion and support
which we have given them throughout
the terrible conflict so courageously
carried on and so gloriously ended.
ut is for us to seek the right ways
the ways of justice, Of wisdom and
|of moderation-to remain united
against anything that might detract
in the slightest from our joy of VIC
tory-that might make anyone mis-
take liberty for license l hope that
our soldier boys soon will go home.
Everyone will be glad to see them and
to greet them and to thank God who
has been so good to them. When you
men do go home, do all in your power
to make this country worthy of the
honors that she has won. Unite in
the advancement of that country and
be subject to authority.
"Remember that obedience is not a

redress?"
And we heartily appreciate his
comment upon these issues:
Shall the assertion of right be hap
hazard and by casual alliance or shall
there be common concert to oblige
the observance of common rights?
mo man, no group of men, chose
these to be the issues of the struggle.
They ARE the issues of it; and they
must be settled-by no agreement or
compromise or adjustment of inter-
ests, but definitely and once for all
and with full and unequivocal ac-
ceptance of the principle that the in
, terest of the weakest is as sacred as
the interest of the strongest"
4. We submit that the solemn
Declarations of President Wilson bind
this Republic to secure the freedom
of Ireland as we'll as that of the other
oppressed and submerged Nations for
whom America is fighting, and that,
as Americas immense contribution to
the forces and resources of the En-
tente, under the direction of a great
French soldier, has turned the tide
of war; our Government has acquired
the right to demand it. The world
will not be made safe for Democracy
if Ireland remains under the heel of
England, and the Presidents Declara-
ton that ALL PEOPLES should have
the right of elf-Determination and
Self-Government will be nulliied.
5. We respectfully submit that, as
Germany is required to evacuate Bel
GUM and other occupied territories,
and to nullify the treaties recently
made with Russia and Roumania as
a preliminary of peace terms, our
Government should demand of Eng
land the immediate concession Of Ire
lands righteous claim for freedom,
and that her status as an independent
Nation be guaranteed by the Peace
| Conference.
