 Unwarranted Attack on Gov. Riggs
 \ local Wickcrsham organ publishes an absurd article to the effect that the swing around the cOuntry'' of Governor Thomas Riggs. Jr.. "osten- sihly to learn the needs of the people, really is nothing nor" than cam paign in the interests of Charles \. Sulzer made at the expense of the public"
 Personally hay" seen nothing 10 indicate the nefurc of th" ailr g e GcI.yc' cI by the governor of Mask ' in his trip through the territory But hry" i. on the authority of a rla" nnD recently passed through Cord ' . who had the opportunity to hear s"N- cral of the governors addresses. that the article in question does him q great injustice. This traveller is one of the most respected and best-be- loved among the oldtimers of the North, and he reports that Governor , Riggs did not mention politics in tn" speeches which he heard.

 The article under discussion informs the governor that he must not inter fere with the politics of the country, Hhlch is rather arrogant language |, is more than probable that Governor Riggs will continue to exercise all his prerogativcS as q citizen of Alaska, as well as those pertaining to his office. But why should Alaskas governor be denied the same right to talk politics that was exercised by the patron | saint of the WiCkersham press | Theodore Roosevelt-when he was | President?

 was the wont of the strenuous one!

PAPER SIOUX COUNTY
This paper has enlisted
with the government in the
cause Of A1nerica for the
period of the war ar-..--..

| pcYtJO OF the war -. ee~e
The paving of the way to declare
a vacancy in the office of judge of
district court in the 18th judicial
district, is a rather clumsy effort.
If it is true that Judge Hanley ac-
cepted commission in the North
Dakota National Guard, last year
following the declaration of war,
with the expressed understanding
that no successor was to be ap-
pointed during his absence, the &C.
tion now on foot to hold up his pay
and create a vacancy is small caliber
politics. Had there been no pro.
misses made to Judge Hanley, he
would have resigned. Being an
honorable man, it is natural to sup
pose he accepted the promises made
him in good faith, and is looking
forward to the day when he can re-
turn and resume his place on the
bench. 1t is not much spur to pat
riotism to have a mans position in
civil life taken away while he is off
in a foreign country in the military
service of the nation doing his bit
to make the world safe for Demo-
cracy. Major Hanley's friends will
resent at the polls any action the
administration may take to confs-
cate his pay and throw him out of
Office. When the war is over
Hanley can come back and get any
Office within the gift Of the voters of
his district. Any little, despicable,
dirty trick his enemies in the cap
ital at Bismarck may play now,
will help later to retire them to
political oblivion, while the name
of Major Hanley will ever be honored
and respected where patriotic cit
liens Of North Dakota gather.

"A. D. Martin of Thunderhawk,
this week announces he is cam
didate for the republican nomina-
ton for clerk of the court of Sioux
county. Mr.. Martin has been
resident OF the extreme west town
ship Of the county for the past seven
years. He has been engaged in
farming during the summer and has
taught school during the slack sea-
son. Since Menz township has been
organized he has served as justice of
the peace. Mr.. Martin enjoys the
confidence and respect of his neigh
bors, and will be a formidable
candidate in the three -cornored con-
test for the most desirable office in
the county.
| VIM. M. Young of Selfridge, in
this issue Of the Pioneer announces
that he is candidate for assessor in
the Second district. The duties of
the assessor are more important
than most people have any idea.
1t is to the interest of every tax
payer to see that fair-minded man
is elected assessor-one who will 20
to the trouble to do the assessing
thoroughly that no taxable property
escapes. If everybody is assessed
the burden Of taxation is equally
divided.
Last week just before the forms
|'closed, VIM. B. Jordan of Fort
Yates, brought the Pioneer an an
nouncement for the democratic no.
mination for sheriff. 1t is not
likely that Mr.. Jordan will have
any opposition for the nomination
and his main contest will be at the
general election against the repub-
lican nominee. Mr.. Jordan has
many friends throughout the county
and he will no doubt make good
showing before the final shouting is
over.
