than an eccentric and meteoric sort Of
character as in the Wilson admins
tration. The choice of cabinet
seems to satisfy no one absolutely,
yet it also bellies the charge that any,
one or anything would dominate the
president. Harding's old sensational
colleagues were opposed to Hughes
and Hoover, most especially Hoover.
Both the radicals of the johnson type
and the conservatives of the Penrose
class were dissatisfied. On the other
hand, Hays, Doherty and Fall are
much in the nature of natural party
selections.
We imagine Harding will be pref
ty honest and dependable sort of pres
ident, with plenty of common sense
and an inclination to look out TO,
trouble in advance rather than to figh,
himself out of hole after needlessly
getting into one. And, above all
the United States will be the United
States under his guidance, not an ad.
junct to some new-fangled world con.
federacy Of states.

AMERICAN LEGION NOTES


The adjutant has sent in the neces-
sary papers, etc., SO that the local
Post will have at least ten rifles for
ceremonial purposes and, if desired,
we can start rifle club as well.
So far the Finance Officer has not
been overly rushed with contributions
for the Stand of Colors which we de-
sire to have before Decoration Day.
Several parties have expressed their
willingness to come across. Several of
the members of the Post have also
promised to give nice souvenir Of
France for every contribution of $40.
Don't be backward; just hand a ten
spot to Otto Becker, and tell him what
it is for-we'll do the rest. II.
This stand of colors consists of a
large silk U. IS. flag and staff and a
large silk banner suitably lettered foc
this Post of the Legion. They are
for carrying in parades, at funerals,
etc., and we certainly ought to have
a Stand. Of course, if you cannot af-
ford $40, you can slip a five across.
It won't go amiss.

started to build a new school in Lin
ton. To date, all attempts have
failed.
There is naturally a difference of
opinion on the matter of location.
Even families do not agree among
themselves on the matter. The cleo
ton will give chance to make their
choice and work for their preferences.
But, after the election is over, the
election to vote bonds should carry
one hundred per cent. We must
have school, and any personal fric-
ton or dislikes should not be allowed
to mar the chances of bringing the
present effort to successful conclu-
sion.
The editor of this paper isn't what
might be considered a bosom friend
Of the school board, but. the columns
of this paper are open to assist the
school project in any way possible.
And we are less concerned in the
choice of location than in the final
voting of bonds and the securing of
adequate school facilities.

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE NOTICE

The kindly cooperation of the par
ents and citizens Of Emmons county
is hereby respectfully requested in as
sisting and permitting children of
school age to attend school. In order
that our boys and girls may grow w
intelligent citizens. it is certainty very
necessary that they receive at least
all the education possible for them to
obtain in our common schools.
The undersigned, as States At
torney, is daily receiving requests
from parents for permission to keep
their children out of school. Under
the law parents are required to send
their children Of school age to the
public schools each day they are in
session, with few exceptions, such
as sickness Of the child, etc. The
States Attorney has no authority to
excuse anyone from sending his child
to school unless such child is actually
necessary for the support Of the fam
lily. This condition very rarely exists
in Emmons county. Consequently, there

1t is interesting to read the opin-
ions of the big minds of the country
on the new administration. Hard
ing's showing in the presidential cleo
tion was record-breaking. However,
it was not the Harding popularity,
but the dissatisfaction with the Will
son administration that contributed
mainly to the result. Hence, the first
moves of the new administration have
been watched with more than common
interest as an indication of what we
may have in store in the way of gov
eminent for the next four years.
Any man at the head of ticket would
have duplicated Harding's feat, no
doubt. The choice of his cabinet, and
his initial moves indicate sensibly-
minded steady sort of nature, rather
Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1921-03-17

is seldom a case in which the States
Attorney can legally grant permission
to keep child out Of shcool.
. In order to treat all citizens equally
and alike, it will be necessary for the
undersigned to refuse all such re-
quests, unless the child is actually
necessary for the support of the fam
lily. AS parents and guardians, know
ing that the best we can do for our
child is to educate it, we should be
willing to sacrifice for its welfare,
such as hiring additional help in order
that the child may remain in school,
or, if help cannot be obtained, then
getting along as best we can, but in
any event, leaving the child in school.
Respectfully,
cHAs. COVENTRY,
States Attorney.

We might mention in passing that
we are watchfully waiting for the
time when the local league organ will
take its readers into its confidence as
to some of the big news stories OF
the past few months.
The F. P. can wax enthusiastic
over some ready-made phrase as
Summer fallow and fight" but il
seems to be shy at printing one WORD
of admission Of the closing of the
league bank at Fargo, or the amount
of state funds therein. 1t SHES al

packing plant at Fargo despite the
fact that its readers have sunk thous.
ands in the plant. It barely sneaked
in a word admitting the losses or

If at any time the Record publishes
an inaccurate report concerning any
business development, or any other
matter of public concern, we will
gladly rectify the same. OF course,
courtesy in acquainting us of such err
ror will be appreciated. However,
correction will be made in any case.
Recently, we published the report
that an elevator company had been
caught in the closing of bank. We
reported that the amount was sup
posed to be $4,000. Communications
later published in our competitors
paper, and also sent to the Record,
waxed sarcastic, but failed to deny
being caught in the closing. The
amount seemed to be the only argu-
ment. So far as any light en- the
subject was given, the amount might
have been in reality $5,999.99, instead
of $4,000.
And, in passing, we wish to say
that the columns of this paper are
open at all times for communications,
or other expressions from the public,
always providing statements are not
libelous, and not intended to stir UP
any personal troubles between neigh
bors.

proposes to "stay close to tie far
mers." He should have said close
to the farmers pocket-books.

Just thi..k of the many columns of
Free Press space that have been used
in raising hullabaloo over the COM
missioner matter in the First District.
The Ex-Dictator has found it neces-
sary to make baseless attacks on the
county commissioners, the Farmers
State Bank of Hazelton, local contrac-
tors, and road graders, the editor of
the Record, and most anyone and iev-
eryone else that stood in the way in
order to try to lash the voters Of the
First District to point where they
would comply with the Ex- Dictator's
desires.
First of all, Matthews tried to hang
onto his job, when absolutely unquali-
fed. Then, Misrepresentation was
used to get signers on a recall petit
ton. The members Of the county
board were abused and brow-beaten
because they no longer bowed to the
will of the tax-title shark. The Dis
trict Court decided that the recall did
not apply to officials below county
The Ex-Dictator then threw out in
situations by stating that the su.
preme court would decide whether
"the English language can be used OF
construed to defeat the intention OF
the electors" etc.
And-listen to the thud-the su.
preme court, the court of last resort
-fcur out of five members elected by
the nonpartisan league and the fifth
a winner over league candidate
has decided that Judge McKenna
twisted and construed the English
language" just the way it should be
twisted and construed.
The supreme court has upheld
Judge McKenna's decision. and Mr..
Lynn's Interpretation of the law must
go into the discard.
She's hard old world at best.

Another public meeting has come
and gone anent school matters, and
two proposed sites have been chosen
to be voted on by the electors of VIM
chester school district. A committee
of five men and women has labored
with the school board and the public
in narrowing the many proposed To-
cations to two for the purpose of an
election.
An election will be called socn to
determine whether or not the new
school building shall be located near
the site of the present high school,
or whether it shall be placed in the
east edge of the town at the end of
the street that runs by the postofice
and to the court house and old town.
In the latter case, the old school will
be utilized for some years to handle
probably four of the lower grades.
Authorities state that the primary
grade must be divided in future,
anyway, because Of the large number
entering school each year. It is pro-
posed to have one primary grade in
each building.
We are told that the. district may
bond for some $4,000, but that at
least year will expire before the
bonds can be sold. It is wise idea
to get the preliminaries out of the
way, and the bonds voted as soon as
possible. Linton has needed school
facilities badly for a number Of years
past, and the blame for present condi-
tions must lay in measure on the
lack Of foresight of school officers Of
years ago. Building school house
usually brings trouble in one form
or another. Other efforts have been

of State Fire Marshal Reade. A fire
department in a town the size Of

its efficiency. However, proper at

means of stopping a, possible bad fire
before it gets well under way. A

Walsh Appeal

Arguments on petition of the
corporate interests of the Rock Is
land Southern railway, to have the
property turned back from receiv-
ership will be heard in Peoria FRI
day morning at 10 O'Clock before
Federal Judge Louis FftzHenry.
Should the railroad go back to
the Walsh interests the receiver
ship will be declared ended Jan 1.
This would mark the end of a two
year reeeivership which followed
an era of Improbable operation.
Several changes in freight condi-
tons as well as the dismantling of
the electrification and changing of
the line into a steam road resulted
in making the road paying prop
osition.
The improvement in business has
meant an increase of approximate
ly $4,000 a month in the business,
or nearly $4,000 a year. The
Walsh interests believe that this
condition will continue to improve
rather than decrease
The receivers of the road are
Charles H: Beacon and William T.
Abbott. They were appointed by
the United States circuit court two
years ago. Other officers are G. w.
Quackenbush, traffic manager and
treasurer; T. d. Moberg, auditor;

FTREMEN HAPPY:
NO FIRES TODAY:
FIVE YESTERDAY

With a steady drizzle today and
streets coated with a thin layer of
ice, Rock Island firemen were ex-
tremely glad that no alarms were
received.
However, they had more than the
ordinary amount of work yester-
day.
Five calls were received The
first was at $50 o'clock Wednes-
day morning and the last at 8
O'Clock in the evening.
The first call was received to the
st. Joseph's church rectory. Sec
ond avenue and Fifteenth street,
home of Rev. p. H. Durkin. An
Overheated furnace pipe caused fire
in the coal bin. There was small
loss.
The firemen answered a second
call to the home of Henry Hutchin-
son, 915 Fifteenth street. Chimney
sparks had caused a small roof fire.
The third call was to the resi-
dence of Jacob Ramser, 1881 Tween
ty-ninth-and-a-half street An over
heated furnace pipe caused a fire
in the basement. The loss was es-
timated at $50.
= fourth call was received to
Thirteenth avenue and Twentieth
street. An automobile belonging
to William M. Beal, 1880 Twenty
first street, was endangered from
alcohol in the radiator catching
fire. The blaze was extinguished
without much damage to the car.
The last call of the day was to
1920 Fourth avenue. a defective
chimney allowed sparks to ignite
lumber at the side of the house.
The fire was extinguished with
pals Of water. Damage was nom
inal The property is owned by
Max Finklestein and is occupied by
James Ray.
