The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1921-12-01

should be melted out and that there
was something more needed than just
arresting these offenders so that the
officials could make record. He SAID
that he was not going to stand Tor
that sort of thing and that these law
breakers were old enough and knew
that they were breaking the law OF
the state with wide open eyes, and ne
did not think il was a very manly
thing to hide behind the skirts OF the
! family to get them out OF trouble
| after they had gotten into it. inc
Judge said 50 many good things we
wish we could have printed them all
Judge Englert is demonstrating to
everybody that he is going to see that
the prohibition law is enforced just
the same as any other law that is
broken and in that he is going to get
the support of all law abiding citizens
Judge Englert is to be commended Tor
his fairness and in every case That mas
come before him has melted ouS JUS
tice fairly and reasonably.
In this weeks issue of the Peoples
Opinion of this city we discover the
following gem:
"When R. A. Nestos is inaugurated
governor of the State of North Dako-
( ia, he will be the first registered So
cialist who ever sat in the governors
chair. In the State Blue Book tor
1911, he is listed as member OF the
house of representatives, and his pol
itics is given in plain black type as
Socialist" If you have copy OF
the 1911 Blue Book handy, just look
this up for yourself. Look in the list
of house members for that year"
At the suggestion of the editor we
have looked it up in the blue book of
1911 and this is what we find:
"Ragnvald A. Nestos, of the TWEEN
ty-ninth legislative district was born
at Voss, Norway, April IL, 1877: tie
attended the public schools of his ma
tive land until the age of sixteen
when he came to the United States
He was educated in the public schools
of Buxton and later by a course in the
normal school at Mayville, from which
he graduated in 1900 In 1902 he en-
tered the university of Grand Forks
and in 1904 entered the law depart,
ment. At the conclusion of his legal
studies he began the practice of law
at Minot and has remained there
since. He is unmarried. He is re-
publican"
The above is what anyone can find
in the blue book of 1911 as suggested
bv the editor of the Peoples Opinion
1t can be found on page 543
We can all endorse the following
The new state administration ought
in the opinion of Treadwell Twichel
veteran in North Dakota political
FIGHTS, to shut the door on office seek
ers and seek the best men to help
give the state the best government
in the union. Mr.. Twichell, in the city
for few days, outlined his views OF
the situation as follows: There
should be one common effort made
bv all of those who are responsible 1ol
the result of the recall to be concern
ed only in those things that will bring
to the people of North Dakota the
best state government Of any state IN
the United States That opportunity
is here and it would be nothing less
than criminal not to be taken adVant-
age of. "The farmer should be ex,
cused for his seeming violence ano
vicious attitude for if anyone has
ri0ht to be foolish or vicious it is the
farmer under the conditions which
surround him. The load he carries
can only have a tendency to make MN

officers no one should expect or de,
