N.URA.
PROPER SPIRIT OF CRITICISM.
We are told in a news dispatch that the publishers of the
News-Times, a morning paper, and the Telegram, an evening
pape-- of Reading, Pa., have won the suit which was brought
against them by a violinist, in which he asked for $10,000
damages for injury to his reputation. The phrase which
brought the violinist to invoke the law was "he mimicked the
mannerisms of a weli known violinist."
From an ethical standpoint the verdict is probably all right
for to give damages against newspapers on every pretext,
however slight, would certainly curtail the freedom of the
press to an entirely unwarranted extent. But there are nec
essarily always two sides to any such questions as that of the
violinist which we have mentioned. Various papers are ail
too prone to criticise and seldom take the opportunity to give
praise where it picperly belongs, or where it would be in the
way of doing a great amount of good. Those publishers of
the Reading newspapers might just as well have left off the
criticism of the violinist and, if they could not praise, have
said nothing whatever against the performance. It was not
a question affecting public policy, and in any event such crit
icism could do no good.
A
VIGILANCE IS NECESSARY.
There may be no cause for alarm in the fact that fires have
caused more or less damage within two weeks on five of our
warships, that on the still unfinished dreadnought Oklahoma,
"which had already cost more than $10,000,000, making ex"
tensive repairs necessary. Crossed electric wires and the
carelessness of workingmen do cause fires frequently. The
reticence of officials in regard to the probable cause of these
fires, also, is commendable. But it was inevitable that ap
prehension should be aroused. The air is filled with ugly
rumors of all sorts of incendiarism. To order the navy yards
and shipbuilding yards in which government work is under
way closed to al visitors, as is said to have been done, would
be a wise precautionary measure.
Of course, if miscreants are really trying to damage our
naval vessels and blow up ammunition factories, their plans
can be defeated by vigilance. We have no occasion to build
fears on rumors. Guards should be doubled or trebled if nec
essary and care should be taken to put the right men on guard.
One competent man can see more than ten incompetents.
There is no particular reason why, in a time of great if
suppressed excitement, forts, navy yards, arsenals, or war
ships should be open to visitors. If for no other purpose
than to calm the public mind, it might be well to be cautious.
We know there are mischiefmakers abroad. Fools armed
with bombs have been at work lately. The perils of the hour
demand extra vigilance.—New York Times.
THE REAL STAFF OF LIFE.
Northwest Missouri has been experiencing its annual
floods, a great deal worse this year than for a long time.
Bridges were washed out, telegraph and telephone lines were
torn down, and trains halted. Many communities were cut
off as effectually as if they never had enjoyed the advantages
of modern life. At a few hours' warning they lost
nection with the affairs of the dav
When the waters had subsided somewhat, although trains
and wire service still were inoperative, a grimy man in hip
boots walked intp, a St, Jpseph newspaper office and presented
a note signed by? a half-hundred residents of a town thirty
miles away.

musical audience is always cap­
able of judging the worth of any performance for itself.
Hundreds of times has The Independent felt prone to criti
cise, but sobei second thought has told us that the was no
good in such a course, and there might be much individual
harm. Hundreds of times have we absolutely left out news
matter which might be inferred as criticism, where we were
not prone to give praise. We earnestly believe that if the same
ethics were more universally followed by the larger number
of the papers of the country, we would hear extremely little
about libel suits and the like. It is merely a suggestion, but
we believe that the advice would stand good for certain sheets
right here in Dawson county.—Glendive Independent.

you, this was no plea for food or clothing for the wai
er-beleaguered village. All its citizens sought was the news,
and for it their messenger had waded and swam through a
multitude of dangers. The news of the day is an extremely
necessary article, and the paper that addresses itself seriously
to dispensing it is performing a great public service. No one
is more ready to agree to this than those fifty men in that
flooded Missouri village.
The Chronicle still desires more country correspondents to
give us the weekly "doings" of several communities as yet
not represented in these columns. If your community is as
yet unheard honi—get it on the map.
The news notes have it that Mr. Bryan mounted the pulpit
in the absence of a brother elder a few days ago. Evidently
he has changed his policy as regards remuneration.

were handed a good snug package at Belfield on Sunday at

We Sold a Solid Train Load
of Silos in 10 Days
On July 6th, we ordered a solid Train Load of Weyer
haeuser Silos skipped from our mill at Everett, Wash.,
to our different yards in N.
This is the largest Silo order that has ever been
placed in the Northwest. All of these Silos were
sold in less than ten days by the THOMPSON
YARDS IN N. D.
The last week in June was advertised in all local
newspapers as Silo Week and the results show
that Silos have come to stay in N. D.
Not only does this record breaking sale indicate
that the average N. D. Farmer now fully under
stands the value of the Silo, but it also goes to
•how that he reads his home newspaper and Kftg
found out that the advertising of the THOMP
SON yards means just what it says.
AH
the people who bought Silos had investi
gated every silo offer ever made and had found
that none of them compared to the proposition
that they could get from this their home lumber
yard.
There is no need of paying agents commissions
on silos—no need of buying them in carloads—
no need of bothering to put them up—no need

YOUTHFUL VANDALS
CAUSE TROUBLE.
The work of vandals has ca'us"
ed no little amount of trouble to
citizens of the city during the past
week. Among those who have
been injuied as the result of their
vicious practices are Chas. Smith
of the opera house. Several ad
vertising heralds for rhe exploita
tion of the attraction which come
to his show house were torn off
the boards and the signs mutilat'
ed. Last evening S. C. Byrnes
from north of the city found his
mail box missing. When the
miscreants dare to tamper with
the United States mail boxes
there is very grave danger that
very severe punishments may be
meted out.
