q technzcaIlty. NeStOs contends that
since these officials failed to re-ile
their oath of office, they ARE automa-
ticaIly removed, and he has appointed
men to take their place. Meanwhile
the ousted officials stand BY their guns
and refuse TO recognize the Govern
ors action. This is as it should be.
The people will remember that less
than a month ago, Governor Nestos
publicity charged the men he seeks
to remove with MaIfeasance, Miscon-
duct in office. and incompetence.
These are serious charges, SO serious
in fact that they had better never be
made unless abundant proof is evident.
All of the officers declared the Cover
nor's charges false and refused to re-
sign at his request. He promptly an
nounced his intention of proving in
the courts if necessary, the charges he
brought. Still the threatened officials
stood firm. The Governor stewed and
threatened-but no proof was forth
coming. Instead, prominent business
men and attorneys in the state offered
to appear in behalf of the accused Of
fieers at a public hearing, to prove the
charges brought against them to be
false. Attorneys yer secured and &C
ton by the governor awaited. But
Governor Nestos knew better than to
attempt to prove malfeasance where
it did not exist. He preferred instead
to take advantage of a technicality
and thus remove the men whom he
could not convict-even on his evid-
ence. Finding no oaths of office had
been filed upon the disappointment of
the officials whose removal he desir-
ed, the governor promptly took adj
vantage of this technical irregularity
to bring removal proceedings.
Governor Nestos by his action has
admitted the falsity Of the charges he
brought against Messrs. Totten, Cahill,
Muir and Bloom. The people are en-
titled to know why he made these
charges if they were not true. He
had publicity announced that he would
attempt the removal Of no officer who
was not guilty of gross misconduct in
office. How can he reconcile his an
nounced policy with the action he is
pursuing? Governor Nestos sad
prior to his election, he would be, if
elected, a governor of all the Peo-
pie" Upon that platform he was elect
ed. His actions since election have
warranted the charge that he is deli
berately betraying the people and
their representatives into the hands of
the same group of political highbin-
ders who backed him for election. We
believe his policy thus far, reflects his
real attitude. We do not believe he
at any time intended to be a "Gover-
nor of all the People" and we venture
a predication that the people them
selves are going to become ware Of it
some time before the primary election
in June.

GOT THE JOBS MIXED UP
But at That, Old Gentleman Had
Equipped Coffin for the Crossing
or the River.

Joseph G. Lincoln told this story
at the luncheon of the Brooklyn col
ony Of the Society of New England
Women recently to illustrate the eff
cacy in the old days of New England
rum: 3Nas3 .
IAN old Cape Cod settler made both
boats and collins. One day he was
called upon to make a coffin to be
finished Ii two days. The old fellow
demurred because he was busy max
ing a boat. But the need for the coffin
was imperative, so it occurred to the
insistent customers that New Eng
hand rum might help. So a bottle was
forthcoming The old fellow took a
swig and agreed that he reckoned
he would have to accommodate the
gentleman. In two days they returned
to find the old man asleep in the o r
ner, the bottle empty and the coffin
ready, resting on two chairs. But the
old captain had put a c~enterboard in
the coffin"

TONS OH HAY SHIPPED SHIPPED
INTO WESTERN DAKOTA

Fargo-0ver one hundred carloads
of hay have been shipped from Nor
thern Minnesota to Morton and other
western Dakota counties, 70 save the
stock dying there Of starvation be-
cause of heavy SHOWS which make
grazing impossible. In addition to
that which Is now rolling or already
received in Morton county, about fifty
carloads more have been purchased
and will be shipped out soon. This hay
was bought at an average price of
$1,000 per ton, Mr.. Ise reports that he.
has been able to effect a big saving
in price to the hard pressed farmers
who are losing their stock, by buying
directly from farmers instead of thru
shipping organizations. ~
The shipments of hay r being
financed by the War Finance Corpora
ton. The county issues warrants in
payment for the hay and these war
rants are cashed thru the War Fin
ance Corporation.
"We have lost a lot of horses and
cattle, but farmers have tried to save
their cattle first in most instances"
says MI. Llse. "The loss of horses is
going to be felt when we begin spring
work but we hope that we will be able
to replace lost stock from the ranches
to the north and farther west where
there has been more food. "I think
the outstanding thing about this ex-
perience is the terrible lesson that has
been taught. Those farmers who rails
ed corn and built silos have been able
to save their stock. While those who
did not are suffering. There were 81
pit silos put down in Morton county
last year and these will save a lot of
stock that might otherwise have per-
ished. The crisis will soon be over in
the western part of the state. AS
soon as the snow melts the stock will
be able to feed again and that will put
us out of the market for hay. The
Northern Pacific railroad has given
US excellent cooperation, they have
given our hay right of way and have
rushed shipments west as fast as it
has been possible"

Fargo, N. D.-Upon motion of Mr..
attorney, Judge Lauder of
Wahpeton, the heralded embezzlemene
case brought by Attorney General
johnson against Pres. A. C. Townley,
was Indefinitely postponed.
This action is taken by many to
mean, that Johnson found himself
without evidence when he came to-
prove the charges against Mr.. Town
ley. Pres. Townley has stated that
there is no evidence against him, and
that the entire case is a deliberate
frame up for political purposes. The
postponement secured, would seem to
indicate that this is true.

NETOS WILL NOT ENTER
.... SENATORIAL RACE

Asked if he might enter the SEN
atorial race in North Dakota, Cover
nor Nestos, authorized the statement
that he would not be a candidate. He
said he would be a candidate for Gov
ernor if he ran at all. A rumor has
been current in Bismarck for some
time, to the effect that Nestos would
be lined up against McCumber in the
Primaries. Inquiries Of all state Of
ficials brought forth the fact that
nearly all would be a candidate for
election. State Auditor Poindexter and
and Insurance Commissioner Olsness,
will be candidates for reelection, as
will Frank Milhollan, Commissioner
Of Railroads. Secretary of State
Thomas Hall declined to state at this
time whether or not he would be a
candidate for any office. Joseph A..
Kitchen will be a candidate for re-
election to the office of Commissioner
of Agriculture and Labor. If the Bal
ance OF Power Plan is adopted by the
League Convention, MI. Kitchen will
be actively opposed by a League cam
didate, probably Senator Baker from
Renville County. Miss Minnie Mel
son, Justice BirdseIl of the Supreme
Court, Justice Grace, Justice Robinsin
and VIM. H Stutsman, Railroad COM
missioner, probably will be candidates.
Among those who are likely to file

OLD RAIL FENCE IS M0URNED
Too Wastefui for Modern Days, but Il
Had Its Points Of Real
Usefulness.

Among the once necessities of farm
life that reflected prodigality in the
use of valuable timber was the old rail
fence. Like many other almost by
cones of rural life, it's place in farm
wastefulness now is well established,
and yet it had it's uses for which the
straight-line wire fence cannot qualify.
The Old rail fences serrated
stretches were the homes of small ami
NAL life that now is rapidly disappear
Ing. Around it's timberS there grew
the uncultivated blackberry, with its
sister the raspberry, and among its
recesses there thrived the elder, whose
fruit once was coveted pie material
and whose blossoms were the founda-
ton for elderberry wine that matrons
served of a winter evening when the
neighbors gathered.
The rail fence, with its %invariable
underground, was the favorite protec.
ton for Bob White In winter, and from
its top he sang in. the warmer seasons.
Beneath, the little ground squirrel bur-
rowed. From safe retreat he chartered

To the harvest hand it afforded pro-

q brief respite and its corners formed
shaded hooks under which the water
jug might be kept. -.
And from what royal timber was
this old fence constructed! Black wal
NUT logs, chestnut logs and the smooth
length Of the ash tree were cleft By
numerous rail splitters for the seven

LEMKE BACK TO
STAY THRU CAMPAIGN

VIM. Lemke has returned from Mex
leo and announced his intention of re-
naming thruout the primary cam
paign. 1t was said in many sources
that Mr. Lemke would be arrested on
an embezzlement charge as oon as he
returned. Evidently this information
was based on the theory that he would
not return, for no attempt has been
made to arrest him since his arrival.
The fact that no action has been taken
by any of the opposition officials
against Mr.. Lemke, is causing consid-
cradle comment, and it is generally
limited that the threatened Exposure
Campaign" which was thought to be
about to be staged by the Iva has fiz-
zled out.

NEW ONE on KITCHENER,
Great British Soldier Somewhat Out

8 To- ChapIains.

Here is a Lord Kitchener story, told
by the anonymous author Of seThe Mir
rors of Downing Street Kitchener
was a soldier and absorbed In his pro
fession. Details outside OF his ruling
passion annoyed him.
I During the early days OF the war
Lloyd George went to him at the wal
Office and asked the appointment OF
denominational chaplains for the svari.
GUS sects Of the army.
Kitchener had no interest In chap
lains. He regarded them as a negli-
gible factor In the fighting machine.
He opposed the appointments. Lloyd
George insisted, especially with respect
to Presbyterians. Kitchener finally
yielded and picked up his pen. 1"
Very WE'LL" he said, "you shall have
a Presbyterian" Then d faint smile
lighted his serious face. "Let me see.
