Official Paper Not Public Office


An "official county newspaper" is
not public Office" within the mean
ing and application Of the North Da-
kota corrupt practices act, District
Judge F. P. Allen holds in decision
announced this week.
In his decision he sustains the de-
murrer Of the Lisbon Free Press, in
terposed in a recent hearing in the
case in which the election of the Free
Press as official newspaper of Ran
som county is contested by the En-
derlin Independent on the ground that
the defendant had violated the corrupt
practices act.
A. w. Cupler, attorney for the In
dependent, stated that he would ap-
peal the case to the state supreme
court.
The publishers of the Independent
contended that the advertised prom
Use Of the Free Press, if elected, to
furnish free copy Of its paper con-
tanning the delinquent tax list to every
taxpayer in Ransom county, consti-
tuted~a promise Of something Of value
as an inducement to vote for that
newspaper, and therefore violation
Of the corrupt practices act.
The Free Press, at a hearing at
Lisbon on temporary order issued
by Judge Allen restraining the Free
Press from qualifying, based its case
ON demurrer in which it contended
that the position Of 'official county
newspaper is not public Office =
and that the North Dakota corrupt
practices act applies only to elections
to public office.
Judge Allen specifically holds that
his court has no jurisdiction in the
matter, that the complaint does moi
state any cause Of action, and that
the case is not a matter for equitable
relief, and dismisses the case.

Best Original Article by

Any Pupil of Country or Town School,

Does it pay to trade in Oakes? OF
course it does, you will say; what an
odd question. Don't form a conclus-
ion too hastily, however; wait until
you find out what it is all about.
Everybody living in this trade ter
ritory knows that buying in Oakes
has many advantages. Knowing this,
our bump of curiosity got the better
of us and the Times is anxious to find
out just how strong an argument can
be presented in support Of the con-
tention.
In order to do this, the Times has
decided to offer cash prize Of $1,000
for the best original article on the
subject, advantages Of Buying in
Oakes." Now, Of course, it will be
readily seen that it would be impos-
sible to publish all the articles if this
proposition should be offered to the
entire public; therefore the Times
feels that certain limitations as to
eligibility to compete are necessary.
After considering it from all angles,
we believe it best that only school
students be allowed to compete. Any
student of either the local schools OF
any school in this trade territory may
enter the contest.
Teachers are urged to make spec
ial effort to interest their pupils in
this proposition, because it will ere.

In order that contestants may be
assured Of impartial treatment, Mrs
C. l. Gross and Supt. ]. c. Gould have

Despite present conditions, scare

unpleasant reminders that things are

Oakes mercantile establishments are
busy from morning until night taking
care of the wants of Christmas shop
pers. This notwithstanding the fact
that the weather has been very un-
favorable for several days, the ther-
mometer lowering below zero most
Of the time.
This, however, is not SO very hard
to understand. When people become
imbued with the Christmas spirit they
do not allow little things like the
above to discourage them. It may be
that in some instances the shoppers
are making smaller purchases than
in other years, though this, too, is
open to question, but the fact remains
that everybody is going to be remem-
bered as usual, especially the chill
dren. Christmas would be only an
ordinary day, anyway, if it were not
for the young folks.
This is the most delightful of all
seasons Of the year. At this time, if
at no other, we lay aside our petit

thing.
