County commissioners about the state, (not including those of Bel- trami county because they have al- ready acted), have been given a caus- tic rebuke because of -their failure to seek assistance of the state in the providing of tuberculosis sanatori- ums, by Dr. H. M. Bracken, secretary of the state board of health, who bases the refusal of the officials to act on the ground that they fear the failure of the people to re-elect them if they should cause the one-mill tax increase. “Relatives and friends of persons who have died of tubercu- losis, and of patients now in the last stages of the disease, who are unna- cessarily exposing the members of their households to infection because the family is unable to provide fa- cilities for the proper care of the pa- tient, feel deeply on the subject,” said Dr. Bracken. “Are the politic- ians, as usual, saying that the public soon forgets and that their re-eiec- tion will be assured if they only turn the attention of the voters to the high-tax ery and cover up the use to which such a tax levy of 1 mill or less would be put? The large part of the money will instead be furnished by the state and not by the counties.” Lee Neutral on Rmes Fight. To assert that William E. Lee and his friends are aiding Henry Rines in his recount fight for the auditor’s nomination against “Jake” Preus, the St. Paul Pioneer Press is assum- ing rather unfair tactics. Mr. Lee has not even been consulted in the matter, much less is he taking any part, direct or indirectly, in- the serap. Such an_ assertion is.an in-| justice to both Mr. Lee and Mr. Preus.” The friends and supporters of these men are entitled to know that this is untrue. The purpose of the Pioneer Press seems to be to pois- on the sentiment of the Preus sup- porters against Lee. The manner of “throwing the poison” does not meet with popular approval and will not accomplish its purpose even among the most drastic Hammond ‘support- ers. Lee has fought a fair fight. He has fought open and above-board, Tt has been so clean that Mr. Eberhart has concluded to support him at the fall election. He is deserving of the solid support of the Republican party and will doubtless carry a big Demo- cratic following at the fall election.

Even though those who are saying this don’t mean it, it is hoped to pro- duce something like “psychological eltion” that will influence the ac- tion of the voters in the fall elec- tion.—Red Lake Falls Gazette. —— A Kansas printer has notified the merchants of his town that he will soon be in need of a pair of shoes, a new shirt and a sack of flour, and that he will call for bids on those items, as that is the custom of the merchants when they want four dol- lars’ ‘worth of printing.—Exchange. e The latest report is that Chief John J.

Berlin, Aug. 1.—The day passed without a break in the heavy war cloud over the European horizon and there was no reliet to the almost | despairing uncertainty existing in the German capital. ues to increase. It had been general- ly expected that the day would bring the decision for peace or war and when a decree was promulgated pro- claiming martial law and consequent military government all began to think that armed:conflict. could be the only outcome. Government officials, however, re- frain from making any definite decla- ration, saying they preferred to wait till. all the resources of diplomacy had been exhausted. It was well un- derstood that the issue of an order for the _mobilization of the German forces would be tantamount to a declaration of war and it was decid- ed to postpone this action until the last possible moment in which there was a ray of hope for peace. 1t is admitted that the situation has become worse during the last twenty- four hours, but the fact that. both Germany and France issued official denials of their intention to mobilize is regarded as a sign that everything * x * % * { @irl fo go .south.
