Just as matter of courtesy, the

Reason Is Given Why
Viskop Children Are
Not in Orphan Home

Much interest centered for months
around the Viskop family of Palisade,
who were all victims of typhoid fever
and through which the father lost his
life
The Palisade Red Cross, the village
Church, DR.. r. T. Scott and various
other individuals, rendered assistance
until the recovery of the family was
complete, and until the mother could
get her bearings and decide what was
best to be done.
Mrs. Viskop is now employed in the
home of DR.. and Mrs. Scott, and the
children are in Jersey City institu-
tion for the homeless.
Criticism has been heard in Pali-
sade because of the fact that the Chris
tian Orphan Home in Fort Lee did not
take the Viskop children, and in JUS
tice to this Home it should be said
that after DR.. Scott, at the request of
Mrs Viskop, prepared the necessary
application papers, the Board of Trus-
tees of the Christian Orphan Home i'm
mediately accepted the three Viskop
children, even though the Home was
already taxed to it's capacity, and
three Hackensack children had to be
rejected.
Mrs Ernest Sibley had arranged to
take Mrs. Viskop and her children on
Friday morning, June 26, to join the
Home children, who were leaving at
ten o'clock for their summer farm at
West Park, New York, but very early
that morning Mrs. Viskop visited Mrs
Sibley's home and explained that she
had had sleepless night and could
not bring herself to the point of plac-
ing her children in any institution.
The three Hackensack children were
then summoned and taken in place of
the Viskop children, and later Mrs.
Viskop found it necessary to locate
another Home for her children-which
she did in Jersey City.
The friends of the Christian Orphan
Home feel that it is not too much to
say, that every criticism of the Home
can be met with a satisfactory ex-
planation, if such information is
sought where it can be accurately
given.

FERGUSON PRESENTS GOVERNORS

Contract With American Road Company

Austin, Tex. Dec. 2.-(P- "A state
ment was issued today by James f.
Ferguson, husband Of Governor Mir
lam A. Ferguson. giving the COVER
nor's side Of the highway situation
in Texas.
The statement follows in part:
"For the past few weeks the op-
position to the Ferguson administra-
tion have been Growing in high glee
over alleged frauds upon the state
by the action of the highway com
mission in letting contracts to the
American Road company. Attorney
General Moody is being proclaimed
as the man of the hour, because it is
claimed for him that he has detected
great fraud and corruption and that
he has saved the state hundreds OF
thousands of dollars which was about
to be taken from the state by con.
tracts which. as stated by him. were
made in fraud and executed in fraud
In aid of this propaganda and cam
paign the daily papers Of the state
largely unfriendly and hating the
present administration, have by mis-
leading and deceptive headlines and
contortion of the facts, sought furth.
er to fix in the minds of the people
that an awful and lasting crime hac
been committed and u blot had beer
placed upon the fair name of the
state.
The Ferguson Side
"I now desire, in justice to ou'
friends throughout the state and il
answer to the Moody crowd. to pre-
sent the Ferguson side Of this con
troversy and let the people decide
where the blame lies and what in
jury the state has suffered.
''In the first place let me call at
tention to the fact that after five
weeks Of deliberation the grand jury
of Travis county has adjourned ant
has found no bill against any EN-
ploye or official connected with th'
highway or any other department ot
the government.

our friends to do is to quit reading

gin to learn that the persecution Of

The Facts
"Now what are the facts? On

American Road company, the pro.
posal for the work of re-surfacing

The statement then reciteS the
specific language of the contract pro.
viding for a second treatment Of the
rOadways if necessary, and declares
that the company was just starting
this second treatment when Mood!
filed suit and had the company en-
joined from receiving further pay
mentS.
Contract Not Completed
Notwithstanding the express pro.
vision of the contract" the state.
ment says, calling for the secon6
course treatment, Mr.. Moody alleged
in his petition that the road company
had completed it's contract and that
it could not be further required to
do any additional work under the
contract. He alleged that the price
paid for the one course treatment en-.
abled the American Road company to
make grossly and unconscionable
profits. Let me say right here that
if the. road company had completed
its contract and the state was not
entitled to receive the second course
treatment, Mr.. Moody would have
been entirely correct in contendine
that excessive and unconsciOnablt
profits had been made. But, if tn,
English language means anything
then the American Road company wa.
bound and was ordered by the state
engineer to put down a secont
course treatment

Olive Branch In Evidence

While Republican leaders in the
senate were shaping these decisions
in conferences begun yesterday, on
the house side the olive branch was
in evidence in the plan to let the in
surgents decide for themselves wheth-
er they wish to be considered as re-
turning to the party fold by their
votes on organization of the house,
before dealing with them in making
committee assignments. Another
test of "rcgularity' will be the vote
Oh return to the old rules of pro-
cedure. The insurgents forced
amendment of the rules two years
ago.
! The developments, with respect to
la Toilette and NXe, were made
known officially after Chairman Wat
son of the Republican committee on
committees and Chairman Ernst Of
the senate privileges and elections
committee had visited the White
House yesterday. 1t was later stat
ed there, however. that President
Coolidge had not discussed the sub
ject with his senatorial callers and
that he regarded the matter Of deal
senators themselves to decide.
Senator Watson also announced
that before the meeting Of the sem
ate Republican conference Saturday,
Senator La Toilette probably would
he asked by the committee on COM
mittees to indicate whether he de-
sired assignments to the standing
committees as Republican.
In indicating that they purpose to
discourage any attempt by individual
senators to raise the question of Mr..
LA Follette's party regularity at the
Saturday conference, Republican
leaders are known to take the posi-
tion that line should be drawn be-
tween his status as a senator nOmin-
ated and elected on the Republican
ticket and those senator's who were
read out Of the party year ago for
failure to support the Republican ma
tional ticket in 1924.
SOrlie Acted With Authority
.. As to Mr.. Nye. who expressed him.
self as "elated" over the turn of
events in his case, most Of the Re-
publican leaders have convinced
themselves that Governor A. G. Sor-
Alie acted with full authority under
the North Dakota law in appointing
him to succeed the late Senator Ladd.
The privilege and election committee
is going into the matter cOnclusively,
however, before an invitation is ex-
tended to him to attend the party con-
ference Saturday.
