IL
is concerned, it has fulfilled It's mis-
sion. The only cause for its continu-
ance lies in the course the league
leaders may take. The voters surely
have spoken in no uncertain terms,
and the l. v. A. supporters are not
anxious to continue the organization
unless the menace to a safe and stable
government continues.
The Record always felt that league
domination was attended with great
er dangers for all than any possible
good that might come. We have
never hesitated to state our position.
However, we do desire to see honest
and efficient government, both at Bis
marck and at home. The Record re-
alizes that the so-called I. v. A. or
ganization is not all that could be de-
sired. We have at all times refused
to become actively associated with it.
But, while the league was in control,
it was the only place for opposition
to rally If the nonpsrtisans will
show a little care in giving its support
to those who seek office, It will be but
a short time until the forces Of the
so-called I. v. A. will disintigrate.
Let the officials who have been
chosen show by their work during the
next two years what they can do.
Then, two years from now, let US all
unite in keeping the good and elimin-
ating the bad. And the Record will
be as quick as any to criticise if we
believe that criticism is due.

Several additional league papers
were eliminated from enjoying public
legal patronage as result of the re-
cent election. In many cases the
league newspaper law has proven a
boomerang for those who put it over.
For instance, Harding and Yeater
supported the law, the operation Of
which has busted" the local league
organ, the two gentlemen being
among the signers Of several thousand
dollars worth Of accommodation
notes. Had the league refused to
monkey with the newspaper laws, Ha-
zelton would still have it's newspaper
and both the Free Press and the Rec
ord would be paying their way: AS
it is, the Record is doing very well
financially. thanks to the support Of a
majority Of the voters in the last two
general elections.

In Strasburg the Record ran 215 to
4s, and our competitor says that q
number Of its friends were not satis-
fled with the vote.s We don't doubt il.
Neither was the Record satisfied with
the six votes it got in Gayton, but we
don't just see what we are going to
do about it. They're leaguers, that's
all. And down at strasburg they're
independents: That's the main diff
ference. strasburg has, been going
strong against the league ever since
it started. and it will probably keep
up the same pace for a long time to
come. rs

The Record ran behind, the inde-
pendent ticket in Hazelton about d
dozen votes, and our competitor points
to it as an indication that Hazelton
approved its position in whitewashing
the exhorbitant bridge expenditures.
Up at Hazelton they say it is an ar
gument over a base ball game that
made the difference. Just a differ
ence in the viewpoint, that's, all.

Friends and well-wishers Of the boys
have Clipped in various articles of

tires and other articles, and the filling
stations helped them along with oil,

pretty good stock of provisions, canned
goods and the like.

their venture, whether they wouldmake
it through according to programme, or
get stuck in the mud, or get cold feet

"GHoST OF ANTIGoNiSH"
Scientist Explains Mystery on Natural
.-- theories.

Boston, March 13.-Edward j. O'Brien
scientist and author, declared today
that that Ghost of Antigonish was in
reality the product of electrical energy.
After a months investigation in the
Nova Scotia country, where he was
lecturing at st. Francis Xavier Univer-
sity when the ghost stories first came
from Antigonish O'Brien said he found
that strong wireless currents between
the two great radio stations at Well
feet, Mass, and Glasebay, n. S., ran
through the valley at Caledonia mills
where stands the home of Alex Mac
Donald, scenes of the Eerie events.
THE MacDonalds," said O'Brien will
have to move their house out of range
of these powerful radio currents If they
wish to avoid the ghostlike incidents.
If not, the house may be burned down
when the atmospheric conditions are
just right, as they apparently were
when the fires were set around the
barn." The braiding Of the tails Of the
Macdonald COWS, which has been con-
sidered another Of the manifestations
of the unseen influence was done by
Mary Ellen. the Antigonish farmers
foster daughter because it was good
fun, is the opinion of O'Brien. Harold
Whidden, the reporter who had exper-
fences of his own when he went to in
vcstigate those Of the Macdonald fam
lily continued O'Brien was completely
carried away by his enthusiasm and
really believed that the ghost slapped
him" 4,
"Whddcn slapped his own face when
hc suddenly walked in temperature OF
% below zero and his numbed arm
became suddenly suffused with good
warm blood" O'Brien said.
Take the map, trace the line, apply
your scientific knowledge of wireless
operation. study the curious effects of
electrical currents in fires on ships and
on land and you have the solution of
the fires charged against the ghost Of
O'Brien predicted that DR.. Walter
Franklin Prince. New York, director of
the American Society for Scientific re-
search. who has spent the past week in
the haunted house" would fail to find
any other cause Of the phenomena.

WILL GIVE UP OFFICE.

yes, l have definitely decided not to
again become a candidate for recon-
mendation for appointment as county
treasurer. No, you might as well make
it public now if you so desire"
That was the reply of Mr.. H. e. Neil
to the question as to whether or not
there was any truth in the rumor that
he had decided to give up the office of
county treasurer
Mr.. Neil has been treasurer of York
county since June 3, 1909, when he was
appointed by Governor Martin F. An
sci to succeed the late. H. A. D. Neely,
and during that time he has become
recognized not only as most efficient
official; but probably the highest au-
thority in the state on county finance.
There is certainly no other man in this
county who knows more about the ad-
ministration of the ordinary county
fund, the road fund, the school fund,
the various bond funds, and in fact all
other funds. And the county never has
had an official who has enjoyed the
public confidence and esteem to larg-
er extent.
"a decision like that from you will
cause widespread regret" suggested
the reporter, land the public will no
doubt want to know your reasons.
What shall tell them?'
81 have been thinking Of that very
seriously" replied Mr.. Neil, land ]
hardly know how to say just what !
would like to say. l am sensible of the
high honor. / have enjoyed at the hands
Of the people for all these years, and
would not have it thought that ] am
ungrateful. feel that my position is
high one. For me know it is, and in
spite of what consider the heavy re-
sponsibility 1 enjoy it; but for some
time past it has been growing on me
that the work is too combining. In spite
of most efficient help 1 have to stay
with it too closely. I am convinced that
in justice to myself and to my family
I should have relief-that should be
more free to go and come as it suits
me, and while have not definitely de-
cided what I shall do, have made up
my mind that / will occupy myself
with private business"
when do you expect to quit? VIM
YOU resign or serve out your present
term" =.
"On that point am not fully deter
mined; but as see it now / viii prob
ably serve out the present term.
