any person be forced to place notices
in some one particular paper when tie
person doing the advertising is tine
one concerned-AND THE PERSON
WHO HAS TO PAY THE BILL?
The law restoring powers to the
state superintendent Of public instruc-
tion needs no discussion. The only
fight on this proposition is comins
from the socialist bosses of the league
who want the teaching of socialism in
the schools, and who know that they
can't have their way if Miss Nelson
can prevent it,. VII
/ The league newspapers are oemand-
ing that you vote against all these
five measures. They don't want to be
prohibited from loaning our money 70
Ynon-residents when there isn't funds
enough to supply the demand Of actual

Miss Nelson to have charge Of the
schools. They don't want schoo,
boards and townships to have the
right to deposit their funds where
they can get the highest rare Of IN

away from it BY the board Of admin

Read these five propositions over,
and see If there is any one of them
that you can possibly be opposed to-.
The proposed law permitting pubic
officials Of school boards, townships,
county boards, village and city boards
to deposit their funds. in the bank that
will pay the highest rate Of Interest
certainly will receive a majority vote.
There is certainly no reason why these
concerns should be forced to lose IN
terest on their funds, and have to pay
even for the check books they use.
If the Bank Of North Dakota is 4
sound pfooposition, and is needed in
the state, it will certainly be able 70
compete with the private hanks in
paying inerest en- public funds. If
not, what's the reason?
The law providing for examination
of the Bank Of North Dakota by elect
ed officials of this state certainly can
not be wrong. And why is Townley
so anxious to have vote against this
measure, if the business is being run
on thessquare7
A law prohibiting, officers of the
Bank Of North Dakota from loanine
on real estate to other than bona foe
farmers who are resident Of the state
should certainly meet with the ap-
proval Of the league bosses If they
are honest in their claim that they
are working only for the, good Of the
farmers. It would prevent them
from loasipg $25, 900 or more to men
like McMahon, the nonresident spec

them at any price, and if you run
across any this year get rid of them.
We want people in the schools who can
earn more than they are getting,
and then people will not object to
paying good salaries. This is mat
ter for school patrons and school d.
rectors to watch. Visit your school
and get first-hand knowledge.
The rural school inspector was un-
'b'e to be with us last week on ac-
count of conducting an institute at La
Moure. He very likely will be with
us next week. Those schools that
can be gotten up to standard should
be looked after. Please see what
your schools need and get them in
shape before the inspector comes. Last
year we raised the number of Stand
ard Schools in the county from seven
to twenty-five. Let's make it at least
fifty this year.
There is a School Officers Section
in the State Educational Association.
At the last meeting it was urged that
each school in the state send repre-
sentative to the meeting at Grand
Forks this year. It will pay every
district to send a man to this meet
ing as in that way school boards will
keep up with the trend of education.
It is hard for the county superinten-
dent to convince many boards whas
they should do unless they get the
same ideas from other sources. II
you attend the state meeting in No
vember, you can form your own ideas
along some lines, and we can make
more progress in education in this
county. Let up know how many win

School taxes are high. Why not.
get your moneys worth and send all
your children every day? We expect
you to do so -er you will get into
serious trouble. In 80 cases out Of
100 it is not the fault Of the child
that he is not in school. It is the
fault Of the parent. If this is the
case, why should not the parent be
punished?
This is the time Of year when teacn-
ers should visit al the patrons Of their
community. Get acquainted. :. now.
Unless you become = part Of the COM
munity you teach in you cannot be-

Last weeks league paper attempted
to outdo its own record of misrepre-
sentation in an article published o.:
the front page Of the same signe:
Contributed.
The article in question attempts &c
claim untrue a. number of statements
from former issue of the Kecors
relative to the gang of resident anc
nonresident socialists that organized
and managed the nonrartisan league.
Note we stated these men helped to
organize and manage the league. The
Contributed" article demands thas
we show that they are now connected
with the league. A vast difference.
Some of the men in question got in
a fight with Townley ard quit. Some
Of them had larger fish to fry. 9TH
ers proved to be poor advertising for
The league, and We're ordered to stag
out Of North Dakota during the cam
paign. This applies especially TO
Mills. While Mills took an active
part in former league campaigns, lie
did not show himself in. North Dakos;:>

And league candidate for state o.
Gce personally Informed the writer
that some of the league candidates
demanded that Mills be kept out OF
here. But Mills has been working
for the league il other states, juss
.he same.
But here's the funny thing abou:
the leagne newspapers method OF
meeting the situation. On the from:
page is the article. signed "Contribu:-
ed" Offering s1O0 if we will prove the
things they demand be proven. On
the inside page Of the league news
| paper appears the following: ''The
editor of the Free Press does no:
hold himself responsible for the opin-
ions Of the Free Press .correspoa-
dents" Ho, no. That's fine way;
of meeting the situation, to give the.
impression to it's readers thatsit baeas
its stand with 500; ana fnen to ieavc
a loop-hole where the hundred might
not be endangered
Before we go ont lto try to win
| that hundred bucks we wish to have
a little clearer understanding of the
situation. First, Of all, we should
like to know if Mr.. Contributed has
500, and, if SO, how we may Know
that the hundred will be forthcoming
if we meet the conditions. How do
we know that Mr.. Contributed is no.
in fact Emil Hardt, for instance:
How do we know that Mr.. Contrib,
uted is not the leagues importec
county manager, Mr.. Miller, who has
stated that the league was pehinc
four months with his pay check, anc
that he had been 'borrvwing" it from
the Free Press corporation in the
meantime
No indeed, the 1eagne newspapers
method Of meeting attack lis entirely
too thin to fool any but those who
desire obe fooled. And we propose
to pin some one down in black and
white before we 60 wasting time try
ing to grab that hundred bncks tina:
may perhaps be in existence and per-
haps may not be.
Course we'd like: to garner IN tha:
hundred. It would come in handy IN
the anti -Townley campaign fund, even
though it might come from good
Townley booster.

propaganda Big Berthas opened fire
in unison last week, and several leaguc
sheets that came to, our desk appear
to be all alike practically except tic
names IF the papers. The same
wording exactly fills most of their
columns. The same headlines pro-
claim their attacks. In other worcs,
like battery of heavy artillery ali
striking at the signal of the battery
commander, the various league news
papers throughout the state published
the same propaganda, in identica.
words, with identical headlines at the
signal of the mast mind that sits be-
hind the scenes and furnishes the ed
itorial brain power of the various
league organs. r. .s'as r
We call the attention of our read
ers to this condition so that they may
knowAsnsat to expect if the leagus
succeeds in driving out of business
what independent newspapers that are
left since the league newspaper law
became effective. Gentlemen, JUS.
subsidize one league newspaper in ev-
cry county with monopoly of ali
legal printing long enough and see
how many independent newspapers
you will have left.
Now, for a moment, imagine that
the Townileyites are successful in
their purpose and that all newspapers
in most Of the counties are extermina-
ted except the one league newspaper
controlled from league headquarters.
Then, with those headquarters writing
the copy and debating what shall be
printed in every league newspaper in
every county in the state, what may
you expect to find in the way o.
truthful statements about public mat
ters which vitality concern you?
Grant, that every independent news
paper is crooked and that every
league newspaper is above sin. Isn't
it just possible that there be kept with
in your midst some possible means of
publicity uncontrolled by the faction
in supreme control of the state? It
would seem 30, at least.
Today, the league newspapers have
a monopoly of all legal printing -prl-
vate and public-in the state. This
is due thanks to the league graft law
giving the secretary Of agr1culturc
and the president Of the railroad COM
mission power to choose such Of
fetal newspaper in every county o.
the state. This graft has existed
! since the 26th Of last July. And, if
the league bosses can control enough
votes it will continue to exist for tive
years more.
Now, look at the other side Of the
picture. A law has been in1tiatee
providing that the newspaper ia each
county chosen by the people shall be
the county official newspaper, bu:
that private legals, paid for by pr,-
vete persons, may be published in the
paper designated by the persons pay
ing the bill.
As far as the Record is concerned,
{ we have every reason to hope that It
will be successful in the coming elec-
ton IN this county. Therefore, from.
selfish point Of view, opposition to
the proposed measure would be ben
eficial to the Record {. But the thing
is.wrong in principal. and tends to Gu:
