CALL UNSATISFACTORY

Bismarck Tribune: There is con-
siderable well founded criticism of the
call issued in Fargo recently by the
committee of twenty-one. The plan
to call two conventions at Minot, May
12, is good one, but the decision to
give the I. v. A. arbitrary represen.
tation in the republican convention is
without precedent and decidedly irreg-
ular.
It looks as though Treadwell Twich-
ell, chairman Of the purged' unit Of
the republican state central commit
tee, was trying to pack the convention
in behalf Of some certain candidate.
The Tribune holds no brief for any OF
the aspirants in the field and is not
committed to the candidacy Of any
man for governor. It has, however,
a deep and abiding conviction Of how
the candidate should be selected to
head the republican anti -Townley
ticket. There is no reason under the
sun why the I. v. "A. machine should
be given special consideration any
more than any other bipartisan or
ganization.
When it comes to republican organ
ization, the I. v. A. should cease to

RAIDERS ARE BUSY.
Feather Bed Proves to Be Hiding
Place for White Mule. Arrests
for Gambling. Stills Raided. h.

~ Considerable interest was aroused
locally by raid on stills and gam
blers during the week. 1t is said
that twenty-five different booze-man-
ufacturers are slated, although part
Of the arrests have not yet been made.
One of the booze-vendors was picked
up in Linton, and the lady of the
house in which the liquor was found
put up husky scrap with the sheriff.
The liquor raids were made by 1. T..
EChaney, Sheriff Meinhover and H. c..
Lynn, as representative of the states
attirney. The Goldade place in
North Linton was one of the first
raided, and the officers report that
they found a goodly supply of liquor
cached in feather bed. They say
that Mrs. Goldade put up a real
scrap with the sheriff, scratching his
face and otherwise more or less mar
ring his personal beauty.
Numerous stills have been discov-
cred in the county districts surround
the town, and Mr.. CLANCY states that
some twenty-five arrests will be made
No hearings have yet been held, a
change of venue being taken in some
of the cases from Judge Clancy to
Judge Gillespie.
In addition to the liquor arrests, 8
raid was made by Mrs. John Quash.
nick on a bunch of alleged gamblers
in room in the rear of the Britts
barber shop. It is reported that
Mrs. Quashnick swooped down upor
the players, swooping the stakes in
the game into hat and getting away
with it for evidence. Three arrests
were made, they being M. Gallentine
A. S. Seelsy and John Quashnick
It is said that a fourth player in the
game was county official and thai
Mrs. Quashnick mistook him for an
other party, the true identity of the
player becoming known at a late
time. Mr.. Chaney reports that {
warrant for this officials arrest will
be forthcoming yet this week.
The names of those owning still
have not yet been made public, for tn
reasons that numbers of them have no
yet been arrested.

BURGEs HOME.

Mr.. and Mrs. o. E. Burge arrived
home last week from spending the
winter in California. When asked
whether they enjoyed the trip, Mr..
Burge dug down in his pocket and
pulled out little clipping Of poetry,
and offered the poetry as an express
sion Of his sentiments. And here is
the verse:
It Is You 4
If you want to live in the kind Of a
town,
Like the kindSof town you like,
You needn't shpyou clothes in grip
And start on a long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing that's really new,
It's knock at yourself when you
knock your town.
It isn't your town-it's you.
Real towns are not made by men
afraid III.
Lest somsone else gets ahead.
When everyone works and nobody
shirks & s}4
You can raise town from the dead.
And if, while you make your personal
stake, ~ /.
Your neighbor can make one, too,
Your town will be what you want to
see.
It sin't your town its you.

TWICHELL ON RAMPAGE.

Bismarck Tribune: "Why were the
l. V. A. given blanket representa-
ton in the suggested call for a re-
publican convention Minot May 1872"
Treadwell Twichell, self-appointed
head of the purgad republican organi-
zation was asked over long distance
today. Mr.. Twichell has headquar-
ters in Ed. Coles Metropole hotel
looked upon as a hangout for Nonpar-
tisan beaguers. .
"None of your D. business"
came back.
Just Sizzles

"But why did you give the L. V. A.

terians or other organizations any rep
resentation? Why stop at the I. v.

"None of your damned business"
came back in a higher key-just like
kick from white mule.
"But Mr.. Treadwell is this going to
be a republican convention?" .
He Will Call 1t
"You just wait until you get my
letter, am going to call that con.
vention," in a lower key.
"Why not have the chairman of the
two recent anti-Townley conventions
in Bismarck issue the call?"
"No need of that, let the republican
state central committee call it," ex.
plodes Treadwell.
"But Bill Lemke is chairman o.
that" comes, back the questioner.
/ His Own Committee ..
"Not of this committee" says
Twichell-"I am the chairman"-short
pause as cigar shifts from left to
right side of the orifce-"and l am
attending to this business, and we
don't give damn whether you like it
or not" t |
"But just minute Twichell, how
are these county conventions to be

anti |-T0WNLtYlTtS MEET SATURDAY
County Convention To Take Place NJ in Court Room at
County Court House in Linton

Next Saturday afternoon, at p. M,
the county meeting of anti-Townley-
ties will take place in the court room
at the court house ii Linton. Each
precinct has chosen delegate to rep
resent the precinct at that meeting,
but the general public is welcome to
attend and see the antis work.
Practically every precinct will be
represented by farmer. The class
of farmers who will act as delegates
will compare very favorably, also,
with those delegates who represented
the Townly crew and who chose the
county and legislative ticket some
time ago to carry the Townley flag.
Just as the delegates to this conven-
tion are substantial, successful far
mers, so is the ticket they endorse
likely to be competent and successful
men. Numerous names have been
mentioned for the various offices, but
nothing definite can be determined un.
ii! after this meeting. Delegates are
coming to Linton with the aim of put
ting up the best ticket they can, desir-
ing to make the contrast with the
Townley ticket as great as possible.
The men who appear to be the best
propositions for the various offices will
be demonstrated at that time. There
will not be single active candidate
for office in the list of delegates.
If there are men who feel inclined
to go into the political game, it would
be well for them to see that their de-
sires are known when the convention
meets, so that their fitness for the Of
fee, etc., may be discussed by the
delegates.
One thing is certain. After the con-
vention has picked it's ticket, the fight
will be narrowed down to the leaguers
and their opposing anti-Townley
bunch. A candidate who has the en-
dorsement of neither faction will save
his money by making the race.
Lintonites have picked upon VIM.
McCulley to represent the city. just
who all the delegates are will not be
known until they present their cre>
dentials when the convention meets
In addition to endorsing the neces-
sary candidates, the convention will no
doubt take the necessary steps to per-
feet county fighting machine and to
provide for precinct organization in
each precinct. There is no doubt but
that the anti-Townley men are far in
the majority in Emmons county, and
the main fight will be to keep them
from working at cross purposes in any
case.
The league county ticket is gener-
ally admitted to be lamentably weak,
and the ticket endorsed by the anti
Townleyites should be an easy winner.
There is disposition all over the
county to put up to the convention to
pick the candidates, and then to all
fight for their election.
This method will help to strengthen
the anti forces in che county on state
issues, and thus bring about the larg-
est anti -Townley majority possible.

VIEWING 4. H. S. OF TODAY
THROUGH AN ALUMMUS' EYES
Where and How the $4,000 was Used
to Build up our Educational System
Arrangement of the Remodeled Build
ing and the New High School Annex.

Ever since the new High School
Annex has been completed we have
been planning a tour of investigation
through the halls, rooms and base
ment of the old institution flearn-
ing, known as Hope High School, but
it was not until this week that op-
portunity presented itself.
1t was a feeling of extreme pride
that Hope resident may look over
the monument to education which he
has helped to erect. But there is al
so touch of regret to some of us
younger citizens, regret that we
were just a few years to far advanced
not to share in the increased advan-
tages of this $60,0OO.OO modern
brick structure, and the additional
educational, physical and social ad-
vantages which it affords.
/ Upon entering the front door, our
steps naturally took us to the left
stairway leading to the basement
where the gang used to gather before
school. The manual training room
was inspected and found to have a
new ceiling, and door had been cut
in the east wall, this door leading to
staining and drying room for the
finishing of manual handiwork. Next
as before, came the door leading to
the boiler room. This room has un.
! dergone decided change. Two
large boilers and fire boxes seem tc
take up most of the room. They are
pointed north and south instead OF
east and west as before. Besides the
two heating plant boilers, there is q
pressure tank for drinking water, one
for cold water showers and one fo1
hot water. An extra little heating
stove is provided to furnish hot wa.
ter for the showers during spring and
fall. In an underground addition to
the northeast corner of the old main
building is located the coal bin.
| It seems almost useless to describe
the room which occupies the base.
ment of the new addition. It's pro.
