SAYS PLAN WILL fail.
Governor Allen Refuses TO Take Labor
Demonstration Seriously.

Governor Allen Refuses TO Take Labor
Demonstration Seriously.
Governor Allen refuses to take the
labor demonstration planned to be
held in Columbus this month as a
matter worthy of serious executive
consideration. He believes the pro-
gram of President Freeman, of the
state federation of labor. will fail as
demonstration against the state
courts.
'It is too obviously an effort to
bring public expression to bear on the
courts" said Governor Allen in a
statement today. 'I have too much
respect for the court to take this
threat seriously"
Freeman has urged union members
to report at Columbus June 81 for a
demonstration against the industrial
court law, when Alexander Howat,
mine union chief. is brought to trial
on felony charge. A circus tent has
been promised and the men will be
fed barbecue meat and oratory during
their stay in the Cherokee county seat.

LEGISLATOR may RESIGN
W. w. Harvey, of Ashland, VIII Ac-
cept Federal Appointment.

Speaker w. w. Harvey of Ashland
may resign as a member of the legis-
lature as soon as he is appointed first
assistant United States district attor-
ney. Harvey. who is in Topeka today,
indicated to friends that he would ac-
cept the post under Al F. Williams of
Columbus. He conferred with Cover
nor Allen today and is reported to have
discussed his resignation as well as
possibilities of special session.
Harvey was speaker of the 1921
house. 1t is probable that his appoint
ment to federal service would require
immediate resignation as a legislator.
This situation would call for election
of a new speaker in event of special
session.

A remarkable increase in road build

granted is shown in tabulations made
by commission engineers. A total of
1,l5O miles Of road has been con-
structed since 1917, Of which 1885 in

most of the surfac.ng being with

Elsewhere in this issue of the Rec
ord appears a report of an attack
made by the members of the board
of county commissioners on the reg
lister of deeds. There were really
two phases to the attack. First of
all, the register of deeds was "called
on the carpet" for using his daugh-
ter as deputy during the summer
months, in preference to an older
clerk in the Office. Every person
has a right to his opinion as to the
advisability of county officials using
members of their families in their
Offices. But, if there is a real OBJ
lection, the same applies to Mr..
Brant, one of the parties who helped
push the attack on Mr.. Irvine, the
register Of deeds.
The county superintendent and his
predecessor have both used their
Wives in their Offices, and Mr.. Han
son would resign in minute if he
were forced to have only the salary
paid county superintendent. about
three-fourths as much as Mrs. Ketch-
UNI gets as head Of the Linton schools
for nine months. Mr.. Atha, when
county treasurer, used Mrs. Atha.
Mr.. 1rvine's daughter was entirely
competent to handle the work she
did. But that feature of the attack
was far less despicable than the at
tempt to investigate his Office. -
Members of the board of county COM
missioners peddled yarns down town
about the deplorable condition de-
veloping from important papers" be-
ing improperly signed. But when it
came to q showdown, nobody could
locate the important papers" and
the. attack fell down entirely.
People who have much business
with Mr.. Irvine's office unanimously
agree that things are in first-class
condition, and that the work is well
kept up. Mr.. l.. has been continu-
ally on the job being on hand prac-
tically every day himself; except for
short visit to the fair at Fort Yates.
This cannot be said of every county
Office.
The Record is not personally con-
cerned in the matter in any way, but
we do not like to sit idly by and see
some disgruntled county commission
er attempt to take his spite out on
some one else just because the said
county commissioner decided to make
new political alignments that bene.
fitted his business interests and the
said some one else wasn't as nimble
politically. The handling of the
business affairs Of this county is a
big enough job to occupy the time
Of any commissioner, without using
the time Of the board to whip polit-
ical enemies.
