The primary. signMico^ce of graft
has undergone a notable modification
during the past few months. Corrup
tion in public life is not viewed with
the same tolerance that obtained a
brief period since. Official investiga
tion is considered of greater conse
quence than formerly and the insis
tence upon good citizenship is not
sneered at so much among that class'
of politicians popularly termed the
"gang." What does it all mean? Is
it an ordinary reform that is sweeping
the country, spreading temporary ter
ror among those whose business has
been to disgrace American citizenship
by crime in public office? Is investiga
tion of public officials a fad that will
shortly die out as other fads have
done? That depends upon the vigi
lance of the American public. The
president did not put it too strong
when he stated that every form of
bribery should be wiped out and every'
grafter ought to be punished to the
full extent of the law. Many do not
fully appreciate the depth of meaning
in the condemnation of the bribe giver,
who is worse than the bribe taker and
deserves greater punishment. Inves
tigation of public officials has not gone
far enough. No public official ought
to fear official investigation, no matter
how rigid .and exacting it may be. The
official who has gone through the fire
successfully stands before the public
justified and his reputation has not
been injured. .The one who cannot
withstand the search light of official in
vestigation is really no worse off after
exposure than before. He only thinks
he is., It may be said that the strenu
ous campaign against official grafters
merely touches the edge of a system
of graft that is doing more than any
thing else to undermine democratic in
stitutions. It is scarcely to be won
dered at that many consider it a fallacy
to hold that public officials should be
public servants and that "a govern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people" should be other than a
meaningless phase. And yet good cit
izenship means something and public
sentiment when aroused is powerful.

opportunity of voting on a proposi

$2co,coo to raise funds for the con

commissioners have taken an intelli

county capitol building and shown their
confidence in the good sense of the
people by submitting this proposition
in the present shape. It lies with the
voters Whether Cass County shall have

step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of
the kidneys and bladder and not to a
habit as most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made miser

ent conditions are considered. And it
is perhaps best that a special election
should be called to decide so moment
ous a question. The fact that the pro
posed amount was placed at $200,000
is an indication that the preponderance
of sentiment over the county seemed
to the commissioners to favor that
sum. There will be considerable" dis
cussion as to the advisability of bond
ing the county that amount, but when
it is remembered that Cass County is
the largest and richest in the state,
with an assessed valuation about one
tenth of the entire state, it is evident
that too county is better able .to under
take such an obligation and for so
necessary a purpose. A courthouse
that is intended to be adequate to-ihe
needs of the county for a generation
ought to be paid for by citizens of the
future as well as tliose of the present.
The burden of taxation for that pur
pose ought to be as equitable as pos
sible. The time of the special election
has not yet been definitely fixed iut
there will be ample time "to thinlcjjfehc
matter over. The old courthouse was
far too small and the $20,000 annex
would have afforded only temporary
relief. The county is growing rapidly
in population, having increased ahout
40 per cent in ten years, ^nd the future
needs as well as those of the present
should be considered.

"A farmer down in Kansas not many
years ago," said Attorney Stambaugh
the other day, "lost his wife. He mar
ried another within a week and took
her to his home.
"The people of the neighborhood
thought he should have waited a little
longer, and went around on his wed

horse
fiddles and a lot of tin horns and made
a frightful racket.
"When they \vere well under, way

his house with his new wife:and .shout

'Get away from here! You people
ought to be ashamed of yourselves to

"Well." said he, "I'll tell you. One
night a man paid, me $18 he had owed
me for years. I took it to a Moorhead
saloon where I loafed and spent it all
in one night. The next day without
a cent in my clothes, was standing
at the bar in the same saloon. It was'
raining cats and dogs. The boss came
in. He had 011 a swell mackintosh.

Gratia Forks Herald: Lawrence
Carr came down from the farm near
Langdon, N. D~,, last week to have a
time. From his story told in Judge
Sullivan's court. yesferday it appears
that he had some fun ait rights but
hardly worth the price he paid fjor it.
Carr was the complaining witjness
against Chris Seims, formerly employed
in the lngalls House barber* shop on
the west side, and alleged that Seims
had robbed him of $300 in money. He
claimed that the robbery had occurred
Saturday night somewhere between
Rytter's saloon and the Park House.
Seims and Carr had been drinking to
gether, although they had not known
each other before that tyne, Carr tes
tified that Seims tried to get his hand
in the pocket of the witness, while
they were walking across the bridge.
A bartender from the Club saloon
and one from Ernest Rytter's place
testified that Seims and Carr had been
in the saloons late Saturday evening
and had been drinking together. The
battender at Rytter's place testified
that they left the saloon together at 11
o'clock.
