You've all probably done that--left
the phone down or wedged 1t against

howler call your attention to 1t.
Trouble in this case was, the phone
was at the other fellows ear and i

is equally timid about coming out for
the leaguers. That's being a square
shooter, is it? Morals and honesty
are all right with him until he gets
into politics but just as soon as he
gets into politics he can loosen up on
his honesty long enough to try to get
a seat in the legislature. Personally
we believe in shooting straight all the
time, both in and out of politics and
we are not going to hide behind the
veil of "doing things for humanity,
forty years in the county or being a
straight shooter" but we are going to
keep right on in the open, fighting
for the side we believe to be right
and we want Mr.. Northridge to have
the courage of his convictions-if he
has any-and to let the people know
lust where he stands. We are not 60
ing to urge a newspaper war and the
editor Of the Peoples Opinion knows
it. We can easily see what is 'bit-
ing" him. If Mr.. Northridge is such
a square shooter let him come out and
tell the voters of the fifteenth district
just exactly where he is standing
that is the proper thing to do and
they are entitled to know.

usually places him in the same class
There is nothing disrespectful, moth
ing out of the way in the Times Rec
ord demanding some statement as to
where Mr.. Northridge will line up if
he goes to Bismarck or on which side
he will work in the legislature. He
either is or he isn't as the Irishman
would say-and the people of the dis
trict want to know-and they have a
right to know. You cannot serve two
masters at the same time, old man,
and you know it, and camouflage is
not going to get you anywhere. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Northridge's own
statement he was solicited to run for
the legislature by Mr.. Noltinier and
C. A. Fisher, and they are some of the
strongest nonpartisans we have SO we
take it that when they ask a person
to become a candidate they are sure
of their mainland that is how we feel
about it.

May pages of history ever find YOU
To be loyal to God and to man.
You then leave the good behind you

God of the universe is ruler
A kind and compassionate friend
His love to US is fuller
Because He loves to the end
Honor your Country by words, deeds
and actions
But give God the best of all.
Fail not to see His attractions
He answers when in faith we call.
Live for the good of the people
Work to have beauty abide
Plan to please God the creator
For from Him no one can hide
How it fills our heart with gladness
When happiness ever we find
But oft-times there sure is sadness
Because peace can't continue to I'M

Man And Wife Park Automobile In
Park And Shots Fired From
Across The River Kills Them
Both. No Enemies Known.

Aurora, Ill.,, May 22-Officials to-
day believe that the killing of John
Homer and the shooting of his wife:
at Fox River Park, three miles from
here, was the work of a moonshine
crazed man. The Homers had no en-
emies that authorities could find trace
Of. The Homer's had come to Aurora
with their daughter, Edith, to spend
Sunday. They had parked their au-
tomobile in the park and while still
sitting in the car a shot was fired
from across the river aind struck
Mrs. Homer but did not injure her
critically. Mr.. Homer stood up in the
machine and hollered across the river
when bullet pierced him through the
heart. Police say that three auto
mobiles sped away from the spot
across the river.

THE LOYAL AMERICANS

It's good thing to honor your coun-
try
But don't forget our loving God;
These lines of merely poetry
Are written for home and abroad.
Think of His love for the nations,
The people of which they consist.
Dear people of all donations
Place yourself on the blest ones list.
Let Him give you the full measured
freedom
Accept from Him the things worth
while
And blessings you sure will see come
That bring the eternal smile.
You have dared to do much for your
country
For which it's people are glad
Your creator only good has done the
Unless we accept Him, He is SAD.
AS long as history remaineth
The good of it's people remains.
There's joy in what it containeth
And memory will play the strains
You strive to be known among people.
God desires fellowship with you
Seek Him now in the strength of
your youth
Wait not until eyes become dim.
He blesseth the people that seek Him
So nothing is lost thereby.
So only acknowledge His goodness
You reap blessings that in your path
lies
God, the giver of beauty, ever
watches
And waits His people to bless
They who harken to His sayings
Are on the road to success
Its daring thing to be soldier
TO be at all times in great danger
Risk your life to the God who loves
Make Him your friend and no longer
stranger
Dare to stand for truth and hardships
That sometimes come in your way
Be manly, courageous and strong
And aim for the right every day.

JUST REAL MAN

Editor Trubshaw of the Times
Record, who is candidate for
the House Of Representatives of
the 18th Legislative District, in
his publication Of Tuesday, May
10th, runs another editorial try
ing to get newspaper war with
his worthy opponent, Mr.. Benja-
min Northridge. He insinuates
that Mr.. Northridge is a socialist
and that he is being backed by
the nonpartisan league, etc. Dur
ing the past couple of years when
referring to socialists and when
any name was used the editor as
mentioned above generally men,
toned Kate Richards O'Hare,
Debs, Mills, and others Of their
stamp. Mr.. Northridge has been
a resident of Barnes county for
nearly forty years. He has prov
en- himself to be an honest, up
right men, "a square shooter,
standing at all times for good
clean government, has always
been found fighting for the right
of humanity. He has been found
to be man that would stand
without hitching and to class him
with that socialistic bunch is done
for no other purpose than to try
to fool his brother farmers. Nay,
nay, Brother Trub, that won't
work, the farmers as we'll as the
voters of Valley City know Mr..
Northridge, they know what ne
stands for, they know he will be
the same tomorrow as he is to-
day, good square shooter, work

the people all of the time.-Peo-

voters of Valley City know Mr..
Northridge, they know what he
stands for, they know he will be
the same tomorrow as ne is to-
day, good square shooter, work
ing for the best interests OF all
the people all of the time.-Peo-
pies Opinion.
Editor Moe, of the Peoples Opinion,
has gone a long way around to DELHI
erately falsify our position. We have
never at any time either insinuated or
said that Ben Northridge was a So
ciaist or attempted to class him with
that bunch that Mr.. Moe so glibly &C
cuses us of doing. All we have said
or asked is to have Ben Northridge
come out flat footed on one side or
the other. We admit cheerfully that
all the Peoples Opinion says of him
as regards to his character are true
but that he is not the only one run
ming for the same job that has these
same qualifications. The writer, his
opponent, has been here nearly forty
two years as Mr.. Moe we'll knows, not
all the time in Valley City, but we
were here in Barnes county living in
Sanborn for many years, going there
in 1882. But what has that to do
with the issues in this campaign. Like
our competitor that the Peoples Opin-
ion editor so highly extols, we have
| lived Just as clean a life as our COM
petitor, we have done just as much
for humanity as he has, we have been
shooting just as square as he has
only we shoot along one straight line
all the time-and he is trying to shoot
into two targets at one and the same
time. For forty years we have stooC
for all those things that we have be.
lieved are for better government, re-
CARELESS of where the chips might
fall, and we have never had to strad
die the fence to give our own persona
views-we have been a straight ant
square shooter all the time. So aftel
all why is Mr.. Northridge or the writ
err any better in these respects THAI
thousands of other men in the coun
ty? 1t is expected that we shall liv'
clean, square lives, isn't it? The
why deviate from the points at issu
to extol the virtues one possesses
we lose sight of the one Fundamental
principle that we are seeking in thi
campaign-on which side are you go
ing to line up if elected to the legis
lature, Mr.. Northridge. The peopl
know how we live and they will vot
