THURSDAY. OCT. 20, 1910
JUST FOR INSTANCE.
The Old Gang campaign
managers are bending every
energy to defeat Governor
Burke for re-election. Why?
asks the Devils Lake Journal.
The principal reason is this:
They figure that after elec
-tion the state board of equal
ization will consist of the
following republican members:
INSURGENT— STALWART—
Andrew Miller, W. C. Gilbreath,
Attorney Gen. Com. of Agr.
D. K. Brightbill, Gunder Olson,
Auditor. -Treasurer.
AND
OR
John Burke, C. A. Johnson,
Governor. Governor.
It will be seen at a glance
that the balance of power rests
with the man who shall be
elected governor on Nov. 8th.
Governor Burke and his in
surgent republican associates
on this board have raised the
railroad, assessment in this
state so that the railroads are
now paying annually $250,000
more in taxes than they paid
when the board was under the
control of the Old Gang.
This raise has been largely
responsible for the" fact that
the levy for general taxation
purposes for 1910 is the lowest
since statehood.
Mr. Voter, Mr. Taxpayer:
Do you want to turn this board
back to the control of the Old
Gang?
Do you want this board con
trolled by Burke, the progres
sive official, or Johnson, the
reactionary official?
Do you want the state board
of equalization handed over to
the Old Railroad Gang, with
•C. A. Johnson at its head, or
do you want it to remain in the
hands of John Burke, Andrew
Miller, and D. K. Brightbill?
This is a live question.
This is THE question.
It is the important consider
ation at the bottom of the bitter
fight being made on Governor
Burke. Nothing is being said
about this matter in the Old
Gang papers. When the sub
ject of the State Board of
Equalization is mentioned, it
is always in a whisper. For
political reasons, silence is
maintained. But in the esti
mation of the Old Gang:
The Control of the State Board
of Equalization is the Supreme
Issue in This Campaign.
It is the question as to
whether, hereafter, you, Mr.
General Taxpayer, or the rail
roads shall pay that $250,000
per annum additional taxes.
The sudden passing from
this life of Senator Dolliver of
Iowa is a distinct loss to the
senate of the United States and
to the progressive republican
cause with which he had be
come identified. Senator Dol
liver was one of the strongest
men in'public life in this coun
try and had the highest esteem
of his contemporaries at Wash
ington as well as the people
that he served. In the struggle
to make this a government of,
for and by the people he will
be much missed.
And now comes the report
that William Jennings Bryan
is to tour the state in a special
train in the interest of democ
racy. Wow, but the democrats
•are 'getting active.
Attorney General Miller is
fighting opeftly for the re
election of Governor Burke.
And why not? Haven't they
made an excellent team
state officials?

THE TRUTH
COMING OUT
Minot Daily Reporter: "Editor Colcord of the
Independent is surely an 'amoosing' cuss. He
suggests that the Reporter is opposing C. A.
Johnson only because the fellow has refused to
come through with money to purchase our sup
port. The trouble with Colcord is that he imag
ines every man can be bought the support—if it
is fair to call it by that name—of the Independent
has been sold and resold so many times in every
campaign that Colcord can't get the idea into his
head that every editor is not for sale—all the
time. It is less than three weeks ago that Col
cord told us that he was not going to get very
'sassy* in this Johnson fight until he saw the color
of C. A.'s money. He has evidently seen it.
"The truth of the matter is, the Reporter served
notice before the primaries that we would not
support Johnson if he was nominated. We didn't
wait to see if C. A. was coming across with the
money, as the Independent did we sailed right
into the gentleman just as soon as the primaries
were over and we are still sailing.
"And mark this, Bro. Colcord. While we have
been threatened with personal abuse while the
Reporter has been boycotted by certain interests
while we have been notified that the Reporter will
be killed off while every conceivable pressure has
been bought to bear in a business and personal
way to call off the Reporter in this fight, we are
still opposed to C. A. Johnson, and during all the
time which intervenes before election, the Re
porter will continue to fight the election of this
man Johnson.
"The people of the state do not take the Re
porter fight on Mr. Johnson very seriouslv, says
the Independent. 'True one or two other demo
cratic papers in the state are copying lark's edi
torials,' says Colcord. We would say to Bro. Col
cord that nine of the state papers which came to
our exchange table this week contained Reporter
editorials on C. A, Johnson. Two of these papers
are democratic, the others republican. If the Re
porter is not taken seriously, and we are helping
instead of hindering the candidacy of C. A. John
son, why all this fuss? Why does the Independ
ent and all other controlled sheets in the state de
vote so much space to roasting the Reporter editor
for the stand of his paper on the^ governorship?
"We intend to keep the Reporter alive until
after election at least, Mr. Colcord, and we intend
to do all that we can to defeat C. A. Johnson. Of
course the Independent does not take the chance
of suggesting that we have been bought by the
democrats Colcord knows that it was as much
of a surprise to the democrats as it was to many
republicans to discover that the Reporter had the
courage to oppose the election of a man who is as
utterly unfit to become the governor of North
Dakota.
"The gang may be able to put us out of business
and kill off the Reporter, but the last dying gasp
of the old sheet will be" a warning to the people to
stand by John Burke, and not allow a gang of
boodling politicians to hoodwink them into voting
for a man who is a mere tool of the gang repre
sentatives of corporate interests.
"Two years ago, Bro. Colcord, the support of the
Reporter was bought. We sold it. And you sold
the support of the Independent. We can tell you
the exact amount of the purchase. When we sold
the support of the Reporter, we did not know that
C. A. Johnson was to be a candidate for governor
but we stood pat and swallowed the fellow we
did it for gold—just as you are doing now.
"When the deal was made, we were simply
standing pat with the gang for a fixed stipend,
and the deal was made before C. A. was announced
as a candidate. We swallowed the whole bunch.
The money was being passed around freely and
we happened to be on the right side of the fence,
and agreed to do a certain amount of work for the
republican ticket—straight, without a chaser—
and we received therefor a certain sum of
money. You did the ^ame thing, but there was
always that question whether or not you would
stay fixed. But what did we accomplish? It was
patent to every voter and tax-payer in the county
that we had been fixed, and that we were writing
editorials for what there was in it. We fought
Tom Marshall under orders and fought the best
we knew how. You did the same thing Colcord.
But the people could eee the insincerity in your
writings and knew that practically every paper in
Ward county that was peddling the gang dope
had been bought, and the result was that our can
didate for the senate was low man, while Tom
Marshall, the fellow we were all fighting, carried
the county. In the fall election, we were still
standing pat—you too, Colcord. We fought the
best we knew how, without any sentiment, for
C. A. Johnson the result was the same—the
people voted for the other fellow. We learned
something. You can't fool the people.
"This year, we are as thoroughly independent
as the Independent is not. We are supporting
John Burke because we have .come to that turn in
the road where we will be honest with ourselves
at least. C. A. Johnson can't buy us. We would
not lie to the people for him at Roosevelt prices
one dollar a word. We need the money—Lord
only Kiows how badly we need it! And it may be
that our independence will be the means of killing
off the Reporter. But, we have business and cap
ital enough to keep going until November, and
we will have the satisfaction of knowing that we
didn't sell our soul for thirty pieces of silver.
"We may nbt be able to do much good in this
fight, but our editorials will have a ring of sincer
ity rather than a jingle of silver, and the people
know that we haven't been bought again,
'i "We wish we could say as muCh for the Inde
pendent."

INCREASED JURISDICTION.
Why the Gouty Gout 8honld
In an action in the county court hav
ing increased jurisdiction the proper
parties shall be' entitled to benefits of
the provisional remedies, of arrest and
bail, claim and delivery of personal
property, .attachments and garnish
ments, and shall have the same juris
diction as the district ..court of all
appeals from justice courts and police
magistrate courts.
The judge of the county court with
increased jurisdiction has the same
power and authority in any action or
proceeding which can be lawfully insti
tuted before liim in chambers, which a.
judge of the district court has in like
actions instituted before him in the
same manner, and in all civil actions
which 8re triable to the court without
a jury. The judge, upon consent of
all parties interested in the action, may
hear testimony and take evidence in
any part of the^county when it will be
more convenient for all parties inter
ested and for. witnesses.
The clerk of the district court is also
clerk of the county court, and increas
ing the jurisdiction does not create any
new offices or new salaries. The reg
ular terms of. court are held at the
county seat commencing on the first
Tuesday in each month, but no jury
will be drawn unless there be criminal
or civil jury cases on the calendar
ready for trial.
All trials are conducted in the same
manner and subject to the same, rules
of the district court. All testimony is
taken down by the court stenographer
ana preserved, and a complete record
made the same as in the district court,
and in all actions tried in the county
court, if either party wishes to appeal
from any order or the judgment en
tered therein, they may appeal direct
to the supreme court the same as
appeals are now taken from the dis
trict court.
With increased jurisdiction of the
county court all persons have an oppor
tunity to have all their smaller cases
tried and disposed of in any month and
while everything is fresh in their
minds, and while they are in possession
of all their evidence and all witnesses
are present, and with less expense, -for
it will not be necessary to attend one
or two terms of- court with witnesses
and remain several days before their
case can be tried, as is often necessary
to do in district court, and a disposition
of minor cases in the county court will
keep the court work up so the district
court will be able to clear up its busi
ness at each teran and not be compelled
to keep the jury but a short time.
There is no doubt but that] increased
jurisdiction in tbe county court would
prove a very (jgjpat advantage to the
cpunty and.jtojptiga^s. The "question
will be 8ubmitttti at*the general elec
tion in November, and every voter
should vote,and work for its adoption.

KEEP THE HDNEYS WELL
Health is Worth Saving, and
Some Oakes People Enow
How to Save It.
Many Oakes people take their lives
in their bands by neglecting the kid
neys when they know these organs
need help. Sick kidneys are responsi
ble for a vast amount of suffering and
ill health, but there is no need to suf
fer nor to remain in danger when all
diseases and aches and pains due to
weak kidneys can be quickly and per
manently cured by the use of Doan's
Kidney Pills. Here is an Oakes cit
izen's recommendation.
Mrs. Myrtle Robinson, Oakes, N. D.,
says: "For about four years, 1 suffered
severely from a heavy ache through the
small of my back, extending into my
limbs. When the attacks were at
their height, I could neither stoop or
arise quickly from a sitting position.
Upon getting up in the'morning I felt
tired and unrefreshed and was almost
unable to perform the day's duties.
Finally procuring jjl©x af Doan's Kid
ney Pills at S. L. Harris' Drug Store,
I began their use iuid before long felt
greatly relieved. I was soon restored
to good htalth, andlnow feel a differ
ent woman." V"/

The Shoe Which
Stands the Test
If you have*a business deal with a man, you do not
rely on his appearance or his manner alone. Thieves
often look as well and talk as fair as trustworthy men.
What you need to know Is his reputation. If that is
good, either from your experience 'with him or from
what others tell you, you feel safe.
It is even more so with shoes.
A poor shoe does not disclose its
weakness at a glance.- It may be
made of paper but look better than
if made of leather. You cannot tell
until you have worn it. And then it
is too late.
The only safe course is to buy a
khoe with a reputation. Our shoes
have been made in St. Paul since
1855—for more than half a century.
