POLITICS AND THISTLES
Wilton, N. D.
Jan. 81. 1895.

Jan. 81, 1885.
Editor, Tribune:
Having heard Of the controversy
going on at the Capitol I am writing
few thoughts. Not al can get
what they want, and the most care
fully laid plans sometimes miscarry.
The Democrats not being 50 prac-
ticed in politics did not inquire care
fully enough as to the eligibility Of
their candidate. The opposing
forces Immediately threw q monkey
wrench into the state machinery with
pretty far reaching results. Isn't it
better to turn the attention from
people now and to conditions. Isn't
it better to compromise with sane
judgment, and just go ahead with
what you have got, II the set-up isn't
faultless why not limit the powers;
like for instance political appoint
ments and leave all such as they are
now. There are many good Demo-
Gratis In this state as in all others.
One Of your best trusted and most
influential citizen Of Ecklund town.
ship. one Of the earlist settlers, never
pretended to be anything but DEM
ocratic in the midst of Republican
voters and he was also voted into
office time and again by these Re-
publicans. If the money for schools
is insufficient let the teachers finish
their contracts and close the schools
for q time but please do not make
any schools into insane asylums.
Lease them to some educators to open
schools on a commercial basis, giving
revenue to the state.
And for the good Of those who can
keep up let us have some laws
about weeds. It really should be q
misdemeanor to let Russian thistle
grow over five inches. It should be
ploWed under while green.
Now that you have voted these
men into office and into the legisla-
ture 1t is due to you that they make
some improved provisions for the
state and its people, join forces at
once in remembrance Of the home
folks.
At this time it is better for the
state to take sides with the national
government. Politics are out OF date,
A VOTER.

In 1887, 1t became necessary to per-
suade the captains of the Yale, Wes-
leyan, Harvard, Penn and Princeton
teams to sign formal pledge doing
away with slugging. Possibly this
pledge occasionally slipped the minds
of the young men though because one
year later the job of umpire was Gre
ated so that the referee might have
some one to detect rough play and re-
port 1t to him.

1872 points In eight games, kaW made

four against Columbia. Hanson kicked
81 goals after touchdown for the Big
