Duty When he Voted Against Ceun.
eel For Fort Yates

For the benefit of the elfridge
Journal and others who are finding
fault with Commissioner Stiles for
his action of doing his duty in the
county seat contest case, the Pio-
.neer will say that Stiles pays more
taxes to Sioux county than all the
businessmen in Selfridge and al
the farmers tributary to Selfridge
do all together. When it comes to
spending public money Stiles is
very conservative-but he is no
such cheap skate that he would
evade his duty to the public for
the sake Of saving a few dollars.
Commissioner Leach is also a tax
payer and one of the oldest resi-.
dents in the county. In addition
he has been a successful business
man and is financially responsible.
II these men have overstepped their
duty it is an easy matter to recov.
er from them. Commissioners Ci-
bart, however, failed to do his duty
and might as well be a private citi-
zen as far as him being able to
render the people Of the county any
real service.

And me and Isrui Parr
