Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1922-10-16

The Fargo Courler-News, oficial
organ. of the. sNonparttsaRH League
has done some very excellent Icing
The management Of the paper
proudly claimed under seven col
umn .streamer only q few months ago,
that the paper had He'd In practically
every issue for a year. or more.
That being the case one is, hardly
prepared for quite such I'll crude Job
OF Icing as Is done by the Courier
News IN its issue: OF Wednesday, Oct.
IL, 1922, which the paper apparently
Townley's celebrated instructions to
lie like a horse thief, obeys orders SO
thoroughly as far as the Icing is
concerned that It doesn't even take
the trouble to be plausible.
Faxed Up Pictures.
In the issue named. the Courier-l
News publishes two photographs and

this page. which shows the state mill
and elevator as the league admins
tratibn left 1t. In the second photo
graph the lieing begins.
1t is also reproduced on this page
along with the rest of the layout. It
Is a fair picture Of the power house,
one of the smaller buildings connect !
ed with the mill and elevator plant.
The camera has been so placed, how
ever. that practically. nothing but the
power house can be seen. The mill
building is cut of, tho storage tanks
which make up a large part OF the
plant are practically invisible, n
several Of the smaller buildings erect
ed since the Independent administra-
ton took charge are left out entirely
The picture is about as accurate 2
.n~epresentation Of the actual cond:-|
lions; at the plant as would be one
made by a camera. placed in q light
proof box.
This is plainly shown by the pic
turo of the entire plant taken some
two weeks ago also on this page.
Some zeal Lieing.

few half truths. Only a small portion
of the: Hes -can%be dealt with in the
present article. The remainder will
be taken up later.
First, as regards the machinery.
which Is about the most bare-faced
falsehood of the bunch. !
In paragraph two of. the Courier
News article the following statement
IL made: -t.. $50. "a 81.
..No machinery has yet been in
stalled. in fact,most Of It has not yet
been manufactured, according to
reports from Grand Forks' a
Then in paragraph 8 Of, the same
article the Courier-News grows, e
more positive and says:
mo machinery is installed or
even constructed as yet"
Then to cap the climax in the edi-
torial column of the same issue OF
the paper the following positive state
ment is made:
'The buildings are still empty
shells and no machinery has been
placed"
rs show that Ii is determined
to do q good Job Of Icing r the !,
Courier-News in its issue of sat-
urday, Oct. IA repeats this par
ticular talsehoot and on page 2
column 1 declares:
"No machinery kaS been In
stalled In either the mill or the
%elevator.'.~
Now these are not statements
Of opinion. They purport at least
to be statements of fact, and they
are of such q nature that any
