AIR. STRYVER had taken Mr..
N Jarr around to the garage to
see his new imported car.
why, there's no gasoline in the
tankv ne beloved.
And Mr.. Stryver jumped out OF the
drivers seat Of the car and shook his
fist in the face of the grinning garage
mechanic standing by
"Yuh oiduhs was not to touch the
boat" said the mechanic. his grin
changing to an ugly scowl. s''I won't
doity my hands with IT,"
There. you sect cried Mr.. Stryver
to Mr.. Jarr. IL tell you, this country
is bordering on Bolshevism! Well" he
added, turning to the mechanic, give
me twenty gallons--what Is gas q
gallon nowr
"Thirty-four cents a gallon" an
swered the mechanic. but yous has
Eotter douse your stogie foist."
Mr.. Stryver went to the door OF the
garage and tossed his newly lighted
Havana into the street.
Isn't it enough to make a man let
out a roar? Do you remember the
time we were paying fifteen cents a
gallon for gasoline? Then 1t went up
10 twenty and then twenty-five and
then thirty, and now it's thirty-four
in this den of thieves!"
You should worry about the price
OF gasoline" remarked Mr.. Jarr dryly.
Look at the money you've made in
oil stocks"
But Mr.. stryver stiL grumbled at
the price, as the mechanic filled the
new cars tank.
She's all right now" said the gar
age helper finally. "Shall 1 start her
for you? VIII you get in? Is every
thing all right?"
you tend to your own affairs and
let that machine alone" growled Mr..
Stryver.
Look out, you're in the reverse!
Throw her neutral. shut her on"
shouted the garage helper.
But this warning came too late. The
great machine uttered a sound like
"Humphw and puttered out back
ward. Mr.. Stryver losing his head in
the excitement, jumped out of the ma
chine and endeavored to hold II. But
with the easy effort of a giant push
ting over a child the great machine
threw its owner over on his back in a
pool OF oil and ran over his supine
form without further harming him.
Out OF the garage rolled the ma
chine. with Mr.. Jarr, who had not
gotten in the car, holding on to the
radiator, stopping on Mr.. Stryver's
oil-covered and florid face as the ma
chine pulled him out on the street.
Then it crashed into a fire plug on the
curb and came to a standstill with n
smashed tonneau.
why didn't you shut her on? Why
didn't you stop herr" gasped and
roared the anguished owner, rising to
his feet and shaking his fist in the
face OF the again grtnning garage
helper.
You told me to keep me hands Off
yer hew boat" said the helper coolly.
''Hully gee! Yer friend put his heel in
yer blinker an you got a lovely
mouse on it,"
How will we get the car back IMP
asked Mr.. JaIr
'T dunno" replied the garage helper.
Il got oiduhs not to touch it. 1
should worry"
And whistling merrily, he walked
into the office and told the book
keeper to charge the fussy guy for
twenty gallons of gas" at "a cents a
gallon.
rs that all?" asked the bookkeeper.
For the present. yes" was the re-
ply, but you can start on an estimate
for rebuilding the whole front works
OF the old crooks new car and half a
gallon of gas extra. II will take that
to clean his clothes before he gets out
OF here!"

Valley City has park of which it
can we'll be proud. It is place for
recreation in which any one who cares
to may spend their evening or SUM-
days in. The ely has now
placed day and night patrolman to
watch out for the welfare of this beau
tiful piece of scenery. However the
patrolman has either received orders
or has taken it upon himself to see
that the public is kept off the grass,
several people being forced to move
off the grass onto the benches yester-
day afternoon before the band con-
cert started. The park is place of
recreation and why not make it that.
It seems to the writer that if the city
street corners were cleared evenings
when large crowds of men gather and
block traffic so that ladies and children
have to edge their way through or
take the street to pass, it would be a
better thing than ordering the people
off the grass in our public parks as
was done yesterday and has been done
all season: The parks are for rest and
recreation and what better rest and
recreation than to lie down in the
nice cool grass after a day of toll.

When the people get to flying in the

THE SMELLING COMMITTEE LAW

Do you as citizen of North DakO-
ia believe that is it wise to have laws
that make it possible for the members
of any political faction to use public
money for the purpose of promoting
their particular brand of politics, or
electing their pet candidates to pub
lie office, or to dig into your private
letter files, check books, and the re-
cords Of your lodges, your churches
and your school board in order to get
material for political blackmail? If
you do not, then you must vote
against the Smelling Committee law,
because that law makes it possible for
a committee Of five men, all of them
members of the same political faction
or party, to use $4,000 of taxpayers
money for political purposes.
This committee, or even its chair
man alone, can cause private investi-
cations to be made for private politi-
cal purposes and, under the pretense
of making Investigations, political
henchmen of the nonpartisan league
can be kept at work in every county
in the state for the benefit of the
league ticket at the expense Of all tax
payers, league or not league.
1t may be true of few members of
the nonpartisan league as it is of most
of the leaders in it, that they would
want such law in operation for the
purpose Of gaining political advan-
tage over those that are opposed to
them, but certainly a majority of the
league members are too honorable to
want to use either the money, records
or Offices of the state government as
means Of profit for themselves or for
the purpose Of promoting their per-
sonal political beliefs, or getting their
personal friends into public office. It
is well to remember that any law
that works unfairly in favor of the
league and against those opposed to
it, will work just as unfairly against
the league and in favor of those who
oppose it.
No political gang of any kind will
ever get a chance to use this law if
the people vote it down now.
Talk to your neighbors about how
needless, expensive and dangerous
this law is, and get them to agree
with you that they are going to vote
it down.

The Allison ball team of Fargo
came up yesterday afternoon to play
the Valley City bunch and we are
sorry to say that they did not even
furnish the local boys with a good
practice game. The score was Is to 0
in favor of the home team. However,
the Fargo boys came here as a matter
of accommodation. They are clean
bunch of sports and hay to go up
against a very strong team. Valley
City now has a real ball team and
with that new shortstop, Conway,
picking up the hot ones at short,
Wingfeld on first, Goheen on second
and Becker on third, we have an in
field hard to beat. The outfeld is a
stone wall too, and with Adams and
johnson doing the pitching and Cup
Ter the catching we guess the boys
will give the fans a run for their
money.

Very little has been said about leg
islative candidates lately at least
through this paper and now that it is
only a few days from the primaries
1T is time we Fingered up a bit. We
want to call the attention of the vot-
ers of the fifteenth district to the
candidacy of Hon. Frank E. Ployhar,
who is candidate for reelection to
the senate. Mr.. Ployhar has one of
the finest records back of him of any
man who has represented Barnes
county - or in the state for
that matter. He is a keen reasoner of
matters that are of interest to the
people of the state and he has always
looked after the interests of the peo-
pie. When it came down to matter
of safe guarding the constitution
against the ravages of the socialist
bunch Mr.. Ployhar stood firm for the
peoples rights. He stood for the
safe guarding Of the school lands
and funds of the state against the po-
litical hyenas who are trying to take
this heritage away from the children
of the state. He has stood for sound
legislation at all times and has gotten
everything for Barnes county that
possibly could have been gotten from
any legislative assembly. He is one
hundred per cent American and during
the big war he gave a lot of his time
and money to prosecute the war,
bought literally Of bonds and showed
that he had the right spirit in
contrast to some others who only
bought bonds because they had to-.
Frank Ployhar is better fitted by leg
islative experience to occupy the SEN
atorial chair as compared to his op-
ponent. He is the ranking member of
the senate at this time, he has shown
himself to be- broad minded and toll
Grant yet firm when it came down to
voting for the upholding of the peo-
pies rights against the encroachment
of the socialist jackals who are try
ing to socialize the state and its in
stitutions. We feel that the people
of the fifteenth district will make a
great mistake if they do not return
Frank Ployhar to the senate and we
have faith enough in the good judy
ment of the voters of this district to
think that they will do so by big
majority.

this withdrawal had to come about.
Col. White, with three candidates in
the field, had no possible chance for
getting the nomination under the
present political conditions. 1t is a
case of fighting the league with the
strongest candidate and those VINO
have the insight into the political
conditions of North Dakota at this
time feel that Mr.. Gronna is the
strongest candidate to 60 against Mr.:
Ladd, so Frank White has accepted
this view and is big enough and broad
minded enough to step to one side IN
order that the real republicans Of this
state can unite on one man to fight
the hand picked candidate of Mr..
Townley. It is we'll known that on
the informal ballot at the league con-
vention in. Fargo that Mr.. Gronna had
a majority of the votes Of those pres
ent and it was at this time that
Townley jumped up and in one of his
forceful and characteristic speeches
nominated Mr.. Ladd-because he
thought Ladd would best answer his
purposes. Townley does not endorse
anybody unless he knows just exact
ly what to expect Of that man. He
elected the present governor and you
all know how subservient Frazier is
to the will of Townley and to Bill
Lemke and those other leaders of the
socialist bunch. The withdrawal of
Col. Frank White demonstrates that
ne is big man, because he has large
personal following in the state and if
he wanted to be real mean he could
have gone into this fight, received a
big vote and defeated Gronna-but he
has shown himself to be bigger than
the ordinary, grasping, selfish polltl-
cian-he has thrown aside his own in
terests to help the republican party of
the state try to get rid of the red
menace that has threatened US for the
past four years. 1t shows a fine
American spirit on the part of Mr..
White-it shows that he can rise to
the fullest dignity Of the American
citizen any time if by so doing he can
dc his party or his country service.
AS soldier he has demonstrated that
he can and has done great service, and
in politics he has pointed the way to
great service to the others by his VOL
untary withdrawal from the field as
candidate for United States senator
at this time. Col. Frank White is one
of the finest men we know, he is a
gentleman all the time, he is man
endowed with good judgment, good
horse sense and thoroughly under
stands the needs of the people of the
state and in our own personal judy
ment we consider him to be the best
candidate for the position of any cam
didate now in the field and the one
who could have given US the most
prestige and service at Washington.
That is the way we feel about it and
in closing we reiterate that we are in
deed sorry that present conditions
have come about that has seemed adj
visable for the colonel to withdraw.
He has made himself bigger man in
the state by his unselfsh action.

ANNOUNCEMENT

In announcing my withdrawal as
candidate for the nomination for U. S.
Senator l wish to briefly state the mo-
tives that have actuated me in doing
so. / believe that the convention held
at Minot month ago made great
mistake when it failed to select a
complete ticket. l believe the COM
mittee authorized to fill the vacancy
should have acted on the matter long
ago. 1t is now so late that my name
cannot be withdrawn from the ballot
as it has been certified to the printer
and the ballots are already printed.
The campaign is being made entire
ly on state issues. The nonpartisans
have complete state ticket, not only
including candidate for U. S. Sena-
tor but also supreme and district
judges. The vote on their ticket will
not likely be materially split.
1t has been represented to me that
a division of efforts in the senatorial
contest is reacting upon and weaken
ing the state ticket of the convention
at Minot; that the contest is so close
that all energies must be united in
order to carry the ticket to success.
l therefore now withdraw as can
didate for U. S. Senator. do so sole
ly in the interest of the state ticket
nominated at Minot, in which con-
vention l participated, and without
prejudice to either Senatorial candi-
date.
wish to acknowledge the support
Of many loyal friends and to thank
them for it.
FRANK WHITE.
The above statement under the sig
nature of Col Frank White, is self
explanatory. In this connection the
editor Of the Times-Record desires to
state that he is very sorry indeed that

kota create another law-enforcing Of
flee with an appropriation of $4,000,
and with loop-hole for an unlimited
possible expense? We have constab-
les and justices of the peace in every
township and in every village, police
magistrates and a police force in ev-
cry city, a states attorney, sheriff
and deputy sheriffs in every county,
state and county grand juries, courts
of all kinds, an attorney generals Of
fee, licensing and inspection de-
partment, and National Guard, all of
it operating at the expense Of the tax
payers for the purpose of maintain
ing law and order. We have had no
serious riots or outbreaks, and there
is no reason to believe that we will
have any in the near future, so why
have law adding a state sheriff and
a state constabulary to all the rest Of
the machinery which we now have?
Do you as a citizen Of North Dakota
believe that it is wise to authorize the
governor to appoint a state sheriff,
who shall have authority to order all
county sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, and
ether peace officers, to do anything
he wants them to do, and to remove
them from Office if they fail to do it?
If the state sheriff law is approved on
June 3Oth, that is what will happen
in North Dakota. Talk to your neigh
bors about this law. Hand them lit
erature. Get them along with you to
meetings where they may hear this
law discussed. Ask them to vote
"No" on this law on primary election
day.
This nation is at the present time
enjoying the privilege Of knowing that
the man nominated by the republicans
at Chicago will be the next president.
Get your trunk packed Woodrow,
and prepare to move. And by the
way, why not send congratulations to
the man who will be nominated by the
republicans-the next president.
