Not Self-Seking

A. Gravescn who was re-
elected member Of the local
school board did not qualify for
the position. Mr.. Gravesen re-
ceived a good majority vote for
the office but seemed to be of
the opinion that had his name
not been printed on the ballot
he would not have received so
large a vote and therefore was
not the choice of the people.
Hence he did not qualify.
We believe tho. that he was
the choice of the people and was
fully justified and entitled to
qualify. At any rate it shows
that it WINS not case of the man
seeking the office, which is more
then can be said of a good many
office holders. Carl Madsen was
appointed by the Board in Mr..
Gravesen's stead and has quail
fed for the position. This is
good selection as Mr.. Madsen is
the kind Of man who can al
ways be relied upon to do his
best. Another thing is that he
lives several miles out in the
country which will be more salts
factory to those who were of the
opinion that too many of the
Board members lived in or too
near the village.

Running Down Slander
Tn Insv0

The article published below is
clipped from the Hampton. Iowa,
Chronicle of last week and was
handed us by one of our readers.
Slandering is almost a disease
with some people and it appears
that some times it is necessary
to bring some one to time in or
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1918-08-29

community.
The article reads as follows:
Two government representa-
tivcs have been in Hampton the
past couple Of days looking up
evidence on a few cases of al
legged disloyalty in this county,
said to have been committed by
parties some time ago, a particu-
lar case being out near Latimer.
One Of the government agents
was here at this time primarily
for the purpose Of getting a list
of names Of persons who started
an outrageous, lying story about
Oliver Schweiger, now a member
Of the United States army sta
toned at Camp Cody. Not only
the party who started the story,
but the parties who have been
repeating it are liable to court
martial, with a death sentence,
if they are convicted.
1T has been reported, and the
story has gone the rounds of the
county during the past week,
that Oliver Schwieger and five
others in his company, had been
convicted Of being German spies,
and were to be shot at sunrise on
q certain day. 1t is a we'll known
fact that the story was started
by persons opposed to the young
soldiers father, J. w. Schwieger,
chairman of the local exemption
board, who is a candidate for re-
election to the office of sheriff.
To accuse such patriotic young
man Of the worst crime in history
for the sake of injuring his faith
or, is and will be resented by the
people Of this county, but now
that the government itself has
taken a hand in the matter you
can bet that the traitors here
will all take to the tall grass.
Government agents say that peo-
pie who start lying reports about
men in the army, or about men
at home who are doing war work
for the government, are the
worst kind of traitors, as they
are lending aid and comfort to
the enemy by misleading the
people here at home. That is
one of the reasons why the fol-
lowing article Of war has been
adopted:
Article of War: Any person
or party caught telling any lies
or falsehoods about any enlisted
man or soldier in the United
States army charging him with
treason or indemnity, to the gov
eminent, may be subject to
death or any such punishment as
the court martial may direct
oliver Schwieger is true pa
triot, only eighteen years of age
when war was declared. but he
was one of the first boys in this
county to voluntarily enlist, and
at time when enlisting in the
army work was not as popular as
it Is today. Everybody who
knows him knew the story was a
falsehood. but in order to get di-
rect information concerning the
story being told about him, DR..

of his company and received the

To the Honorable n. NJ. Calhoun, Judge
10th District Court of Louisiana, in and
for Tensas Parish:
We, your Grand Jury empanelled fol
this term of court, beg leave to submit
this, our final report:
We have examined all matters brought
to our attention, and have found bills of
indictment where the evidence justified.
The absence OF crime of serious ma
ture in the Parish is very gratifying
fact, and We congratulate the citizenry of
the parish as whole on this healthy con-
ditiOn of affairs.
We have examined the public build
ings, and find the same in good order,
except few necessary requirements and
repairs in the waterworks system of the
Jail. and some repairs to the bars of the
Jail windows, which should be made abb
solutely secure.
We suggest that the proper authorities
take necessary steps to have these repairs
made.
We desire to call the attention of the
sheriff to apparent violation of the Sun
day closing law, and that he strictly en-
force this law and report at next meeting
of this body.
Having completed our labors, We now
ask to be discharged.
Respectfully submitted,
