IF Mr.. LANCER is guilty Of all the
crimes you have charged him with on
the floor Of this house and you have
the proof, why do you not bring him
before the bar of the senate and i'm
peach him. You do not do it because
you dare not"
In thunderous tones that went
echoing down the musty corridors Of
the state capital at Bismarck and on
and on into the history of the state,
so spake Senator Frank Ployhar, of
Barnes county, who so ably represents
the fifteenth district of Barnes county.
He hurls the nefy at the bunch of
rubber stamps in his usual vigorous
manner and we want to pat him on the
back for getting up on his feet and
handing the bunch of political auto
nations the defy he uttered yesterday.
Frank has the courage of his convic-
lions and he is not afraid to speak
his mind regardless of what happens.
If we had more such men Pl0yhar
we would have a real legislature at
Bismarck. He told the truth. The
bunch dare not go before the state on
Of these officers so they
take the dirty, political action that hes
within their power to take away Mr.:
Langer's power by depriving him OF
his Office help, putting him off some OF
the state boards that go with the Of
flee, And in the same manner they
are getting back at Miss Nelson. 1t
is not a question Of what is best for
the state and people-but question
of how to hit back at fearless officials
who have shown up some of the mis-
of affairs of state. We
hope the people will wake up between
now and the next primaries and nomi-
nate men who are to make the laws Of
the state who are men of independent
thought and action instead Of mere
rubber stamps as a majority Of our
legislature is now composed. A more
boss ridden bunch never
yraced the halls Of this or any other
state in the world. y

A telegram in the daily papers
Monday makes the statement that
there are 1900 freight cars assembled
in Louisville in preparation for the
immediate shipment of whiskey from
Kentucky warehouses should the fed
eral supreme court, which is expected
to convene Monday, declare the war
time prohibition act unconstitutional.
Just think of it. For hauling whis-
key there are 1900 cars standing in
the yards at Louisville while up here
where we are in need of cars to haul
coal and merchandise, we are short.
If this is government operation of
railroads we are against government
ownership,

HENRY WOLFER AND HIS DREAM

HENRY WOLFER AND HIS DREAM
The entire State of Minnesota bows
it's head at the news of the death by
accident of Henry Wolfer. 1t was
tragic end in the usual personal sense,
vet rare death in the sense that few
men leave this world with their life
work so thoroughly completed as was
that of the really notable man who
made Minnesota State prison model
for the world.
How many men are there who can
retire from active participation IN
affairs with the feeling that the
dream of their life has been accom-
plished ? ! Henry Wolfer did just that
and expressed himself to that effect.
His work at the state prison won him
recognition as one of the worlds fore
most penologists. The handsome IN
stitution that stands at saltwater to-
day giving it's inmates every possible
chance to recoup their fortunes, get
something out of life and experience
reformation, is monument Of his
genius, his efficiency, his humanity
and his bright, optimistic sympathy
for the man who is down and needs re-
building.
Minnesota owes more to Henry
Wolfer than she could ever have re-
warded him. But success in chosen
line of endeavor is it's own reward.
And the consciousness of having ac-
complished real things for ones fell
low man is supreme happiness. Henry
Wolfer goes to his grave not only
loved and mourned but envied.-St.
Paul Dispatch.

I The league steam roller is running
smoothly at Bismarck. The senate
rubber stamp senators all voted to
cut down Langer's expenses to Grip
pie the efficiency of the attorney gen
erals Office. Some of the senators
admitted that instead of cutting down
the Office force of the attorney general
he should be given more help-but he
had the nerve to protest against the
present administrations way of bank
rupting the state, so that he must
be knocked off the league wagon. 1t
will be glorious day in this old
state when we can elect independent
men to the legislature instead Of mere
rubber stamps.

The Courier-News in lengthy edi-
torial Monday tries to show that
taxes will be less next year. This is
the same old story. They told the
farmer they would not be raised this
year and got them to vote for this
dawn of a new day. The taxes have
been raised two and a half times as
much as last year. How long is the
farmer going to be caught with the
chaff?

The state senate after passing bills
to take away Langer's help and Grip
ping his department, has now passed
a resolution demanding that he retract
what he said in his speech at Finley
some time ago. If we know our at
torney general we'll enough he will
tell the state senate to go to warm
er climate than North Dakota before
he retracts anything. We are going
to try and get Mr.. LANCER to come to
Barnes county and tell US some of that
stuff he told the Steele county farmers

year before. The state officers are
getting the same salaries as they did
before. Our good governor has not
had his salary increased but is draw
ing the same old pay. The trouble is
that the league program calls for SO
many more men to run it that it re-
quires hundreds Of thousands Of dol
lars to pay the salaries. And it takes
hundreds of thousands of, dollars to
experiment with socialism-that is
why your taxes have been more than
doubled.

Twenty-Five thousand dollars is to
be appropriated by this legislature
to be used as a fund to investigate the
conduct of state officers, ETC., etc. This
in another nice little political purse
to divide among the faithful while the
tax payers Of the state are grooming
beneath the load of increased and
heavy taxation. What care they how
much the people suffer so long as they
can get their hands on the money ex-
tracted by the sweat of the brow of
the farmer and the business man of
the state. Appropriate, appropriate,
ad libitum. That is the program at
Bismarck. Constructive legislation
that would be beneficial and would
help relieve the burdens of the farmer,
has gone by the. boards and the only
kind of legislation that is being at
tempted is that to curb LANCER, Mel
son, Hall and Kositzky. And we are
paying thousands of dollars for that
kind Of session. How long, O Lord,
will we have to stand for this?

collateral. The league press cry of
big business and bank wreckers falls

this bill the legislators themselves

Paper is growing more expensive
every day, but a hundred years ago
it was so scarce that butchers used to
wrap up meat in large vegetable
leaf. Nowadays such a leaf would
be much too large for the ordinary
purchase, since meat is soaring in
price as well as paper. A recent hap
pening proves this. A man purchased
quarters worth Of sausage, and be-
ing in hurry did not wait to have It'll
wrapped, but grabbed the sausage
and wrapped street car transfer
slip around It and placed it in his
pocket. Upon arriving home the sau-
sage was missing-it had worked it's
way through hole punched in the
transfer.

We can now see where we are liable
to eat turkey for Christmas-right
away when we get that twenty-five
per cent Of our state taxes returned
to u.s. 1t is mighty pleasant antici-
patton but now that the taxes have
been levied and the books turned over
"a the treasurers all over the state
!.c,:5., are they going to do this? It
looks good on the surface The ma.
jority is getting mighty scared of
their own doings-the high taxes are
commencing to show up and the result
spells disaster for the league-hence
this grandstand play to return the rs
per cent. 'By their works we shall
know them," is mighty true and the
work Of the party in power in this
state has been mighty rank and expen-
sive. GAS We sow so shall We also
reap" The harvest is ripe for the
Sarnering and in the next primary the
tares will be gathered in to be replaced
by men Of soundness mad sanity.

GOING THE LIMIT

Voting will be made very simple
and systematic proposition from al
party standpoint by Senate Bill No. 81
introduced by Senator Bowman, which
regards as an absent voter any elector
who resides one-half mile from his
polling place. 1t is estimated that
ninety percent of North Dakota's cleo
tors, both urban and rural, reside more
than a half-mile from their voting pre-
cinct, and every one of these voters
can be put on record through an alb
sent voters ballot under the naachin-
cry which the league proposes. 4
Any voter residing more than half
mile from the polling place in his pre-
cinct may make application thirty
days before primary or general or
special state election for an absent
voters ballot, which will be furnished
him by the auditor This ballot may
be voted in the presence Of any officer
authorized to administer oaths. 1t is
suggested that every league organizer
and precinct hustler in North Dakota
can become notary public with an IN
vestment of 81 for commission and
thirty cents for seal, and that under
the absent voter act very exact and
precise information as to how each
man should vote can be conveyed to
the elector, with equally precise and
accurate information being made
available to those who are interested.
as to how the elector actually did vote.
The bill is said to be without prece-
dent. It is expected to pass, and with
it, it is contended, will pass all secrecy
of the ballot, all powers Of regulating
elections through legally appointed
judges, inspectors and challengers,
and all the other safeguards which
have been thrown about popular cleo
tons as result of years Of sad ex-
perience. .
If the Townley majority in this Leg
islature can be driven to the passage
Of such an act there is nothing, it is
said, which will prevent Townley from
absolutely, controlling elections in this
state for all time to come--nothing,
that is, short Of open rebellion and
| civil war.-Bismarck Tribune.

J. Nelson, here and elsewhere thru
out the state, will protest against
the suggestion Of the Cando Herald,
Townley paper, that the nonpartisan
league should next year make Miss
Nelson their candidate for superin-
tendent of public instruction. This
suggestion adds grevious insult to
all the injury which the present adj
ministration could heap upon Miss
Nelson. She has borne all the in
dignities with becoming fortitude, but
to ask her to endure the disgrace of a
league endorsement is too much. In

about this New York plan. No one
knows how long to go East Mother

say / must be "changeling," for l
seem utterly different from all the rest
of the family. I think I'm an ancestral
remnant-sort of an odd bit left over
from some adventuresome forbear
Jim and | have talked the scheme
over every night and morning for a
week. My heart cries, Co" But
my conscience says, Wait! Think it

Charles Belton's. And no matter how
much I reason about it, | cannot bring
myself to trust him.
A man who will stoop to the Shiny
little compliments he pays me when
ever Jims back is turned Is not above
business treacheries.
Yet he does nothing actually obiec-

to tell Jim about. ! did hint at it, but
Jim chose not to understand.
Now the question is, shall l assert

| ed to assert myself since that talk the
other day with Mrs. Hast, of New
York; and try to dissuade Jim from,
entering any partnership with Bolton
Or shall I try to think, as Jim does
that he is splendid business man and
that this Is Jim's big chance to launch
out in his profession?
| I am of a practical mind and there
| are some things l must find out def
nitely from Jim. Exactly how much

| Bolton would be. How much business
| Bolton is apt to contribute to the part
nership. And how much we could
! count upon to live on, for / understand
| the cost Of living in New York Is very
| high.

TO ask Jim for regular allowance O.

this thing settled beforehand.

grocer's and butchers and at Heavy
