The Royal Neighbors gave a very
delightful card party Tuesday after
noon in the X. P. Hall. Twenty-Five

In the evening, after the regular

put on clever little play, "A Bunch

the members of the cast deserve much
credit for the time and work that
made the success possible.
Virginia Smith and Rhea Lund fur
nished music between acts. After the
play, lunch was served and dancing
was the order of the evening.
The Royal Neighbors have been
very active this winter. They have
devoted one meeting of each month to
social time and with a competent
committee in charge to furnish enter-
tainment they have proven most sue

A sincere compliment, all the
more sincere inasmuch as it Was not
meant as a compliment, was given
Minnie J. Nelson at the late nonpar-
tisan league convention. There was
question raised as to the advisability
of endorsing candidate in opposit-
ion to Miss Nelson, some of the del
egates thinking it politically unwise
to oppose her in the coming election.
However, it was pointed out that
Miss Nelson had shown herself per-
fectly capable of taking care of her
own interests in a political campaign
and that she had made affairs decid-
edly unpleasant for the league while
she had been in office. Any COM
pliments received from the opposit-
ion are certain to be sincere.

THE "RAT KILLING" ENDS

One wonders if the "rat killing" is
complete.
When Mr.. Liederbach, in the best
Lidgerwood Broadax style, announced
that he proposed to drive all the
"rats" out Of the league, did he con-
template that it would involve his own
retirement or was that involuntary?
In any event, the close of the con-
vention of the Nonpartisan league dis
closes a terrible slaughter among
what Mr.. Liederbach was pleased to
call the "rats."
Mr.. Townley has resigned from the
league entirely temporarily and
pending refusal to accept his resigna-
tion.
As for Mr.. Lemke we can do no
better than to quote Mr.. Townley's
feeling words to Mr.. Liederbach: my
God, how you have destroyed Bill
Lemke."
Mr.. Liederbach who aspired to the
position of chief rat killer, has found
himself unceremoniously hustled out
along with the "rats."
Mr.. Kaldor has resigned by re-
quest.
Mr.. Levang has resigned by re-
quest.
Mr.. Maddox and Mr.. Walker have
resigned voluntarily.
Mrs. Howard Wood, representing
the women's organizations and who
was accused by Mr.. Liederbach OF
starting Irregular tom cat fight" ev-
cry time she sat with the committee,
is out.
So ends, probably, the great rat
warfare. It started as crusade, but
it ended as tribal warfare-a kind OF
Kilkenny cat affair in which the
ssrats' ate each other up:
Only one point remains to be clear
ed away. That is: "who kidded Mr..
Liederbach into thinking he was a
czar?" - Forum.

JUDGE ENCLERT 4.
MAKES STATEMENT
March 27th. 1922

March 9th, 1922.
"Since I have often stated in public
and in private that the judiciary
should be kept out of politics, and be-
ing that I was recently endorsed by
the League delegates as a candidate
for the Supreme Court, l feel in duty
bound to say that such endorsement
was made without my knowledge or
consent. While l appreciate most
kindly the good will of those that
have enough confidence in me that
they would elevate me to the highest
court of the state, a position which
must lurk in the heart of every law
yer that loves his profession, yet I
cannot but feel that the position is
robbed of much of it's honor if secur-
ed through partisan strife. Under
the law, the judiciary should be strict
ly nonpartisan, and the judge should
feel under obligation to no one.
Two years ago was endorsed with
out my knowledge or consent for
judge of the First judicial district,
and only my favorable acquaintance
with my fellow members of the bar,
and with the people generally made
possible my election. That tribute of
their confidence in me shall not
knowingly or purposely mar. TO
have and to hold the confidence and
respect of the people are of far great
er satisfaction and mean more to me
than the mere holding of official po
sition.
l simply make this statement to
let the public know that l am under
obligation to no man or set of men,
party or faction except the people of
nv district. With this short explain
alton, should my candidacy be put
forth and should it be the will of the
people that l shall become a member
of the Supreme Court Of this state,
I will say to them that 1 shall dis
charge my duty there as 1 have here,
in accordance with the law and the
Constitutions Of the state and the
nation. The past is the best index to
the future. The lives and characters
of men are not shaped over night.

A WORTH WHILE SPORTING
EVENT

Once again Fargo has good reason
to be proud of it's high school athletes.
No gamer, cleaner team of good
sportsmen than the Fargo midget"
ever stepped on basketball floor in
this city. They came through the
final rounds Saturday with two no
table victories, and established their
claim to the state high school cham
pionship beyond all question.
They won because they were the
best team in the tournament, even
though the margin seemed uncomfort-
ably close.
Their victory is all the more pleas
ing because of the calibre of their
opponents. The Egeland boys who
opposed Fargo in the final round put
up a far better struggle than the
score of rs to 10 would indicate. They
fought Fargo to standstill for half
of the game and at one time, had a
lead of to g.. Fargo doubtless would
have won the game in any event, but
the margin would not have been so
great but for the injury Of the cap
tain Of the visitors, Wilde, real
star. The crowd naturally was with
the home team, but the visitors won
the hearty admiration of even the
most partisan rooter by their good
craftsmanship. .,
And our old rivals from the Forks
gave a splendid account Of themselves
in the morning, making the Fargo
team extend itself to the limit to nose
out % to IS victory. Nor 90 the
Valley City boys need feel disgraced
at taking 20 to II trimming from
this Egeland team.
The tournament was splendldly
managed affair throughout, and it is
to be hoped it can be made an annual
event, If the boys put up the brand
Of basketball displayed this year, they
need not worry about the little mat
ter Of attendance and Incidentally of
their expenses. 1t should be possible
to pay the expenses Of all competing
teams to Fargo, and thus give the
winners of each district title a COM
plinaentary trip to Fargo each year.
The tournament made lot OF new
basketball fans, and revived the in
terest of many old ones, and those who
did not attend the games missed some
of the keenest and most spectacular
sport seen in many a day.-Forum.

On last Thursday night the
Springdale Dairy station was broken
into and about $500 in change talk
en- from the cash register. The nur-
glars broke in by prying up a win
dow at the rear of the station. At
ter gaining an entrance they forcc,i
the cash register open and removed
the small change which had been
left in it. This amounted to about
$500. AS this was the night the
basketball team left for Fargo the
management is inclined to think tnat
the robbery was committed by some
young fellows who i'eeded some mon
ey to take in the tournament. No
damage was done with the exce;-
ton of the damage to the cash reg

A boy who observes the twelve

teach these things by means Of
games, contests and stories. Many
of these things are pure fun and frol-

HALF A LEAGUE

Half league, half league,
Half the league blundered,
There in the Valley of Red,
Three of them Numbered.
"Forward the plans we've made,
Down with the power they said,
well run the league ourselves,
Townley has blundered."
For our dear leagues blundered
And all our men dismayed."
Liederbach and Kaldor knew
Some one had blundered,
So they must make reply,
And ask the reason why
Their "funds" are growing shy.
Into the Paddock then, .
Rode the sick hundred. ~
Totten to the right Of them,
Lemke to the left of them,
Frazier in front Of them,
Gasping, they wondered
What was this awful spell,
All of our program fell
Bank, stores and mills as well,
Into the jaws Of hell.
Some one had blundered,
Laid all their secrets bare,
All of their plans to air.
How does poor Lemke fare!
Ah-how we've wondered,
Everything gone up in smoke,
Nearly all their leaders broke,
Just hear them cussin'.
Townley has just awoke
That he has sundered
Ties that held Inn fast
To the sick hundred.
When shall the horror fade
At the wild charge it made?
(Has C-N blundered?)
Honor to the charge it made,
Now it calls a spade spade
Noble sick hundred.
