ERD GOOD FRIEND DONE INJUSTICE Editor Ranney of the Killdeer Tribune calls The Tribune’s attention to the fact that recently in using Mr. Ranney’s perfectly good editorial on “Taxation Facts,” in which Dunn county farm taxes were compared with those in Montana, where the farmers are still struggling along under the Old Day, wé gave credit to The Killdeer, Her- ald. This was a mistake which The Tribune is glad to rectify. The Tribune seldom finds any- thing in The Killdeer Herald whichiit cares to of- fer its readers, while the reverse is true of the Killdeer Tribune. “We are proud to be fighting the league,” writes Editoy Ranney; “but we must say that they are making it hard sledding for us.” The Tribune knows of nothing that is worth while which isn’t hard sledding in this day and age, and we know of nothing more worth while than the splendid, self-sacrificing devotion to the best ini:rests of the state and nation which is being displayed by that section of the rural press of which Editor Ranney’s Killdeer Tribune is typical. We have many weekly newspapers of this type on the Slope, and The Tribune is proud of them. There is something of the virility of the western country in their stamina and stickto- itiveness, and one of these days the editors of these or,ans of the people, the most free and in- dependent press we have in America today, will reap the reward which they have earned so many times over. These chivalrous knights of the Fourth Estate are martyrs to a glorious cause; there is nothing spectacular in the pyres of hatred and greed and deception upon which the Townley heirarchy is seeking to, immolate them, but if ever a present- * day crusader has approached sainthood it is these hard-working, long-suffering, underpaid, abused and berated country newspaper men who are be- ing crucified for a principle. : Editor DETROIT, Kresge Bldg. LOTS OF PEP LEFT “I regret very much’to learn‘of your loss by fire, but I know that The Tribune has always had lots of Pep, which has been stored up way back to the time. when: my~old. friend Jewell was editor and the Old’ Galg waa in’ power, and when every-| one ‘carried: gut, but hever ‘thought of "taking one dishdénest cent from, the:btate,”. writes’a Dunn county friend lim iettclosing @ check advancing his subscription, another ‘year. | If we had‘ a faw-old-time-senators like-Jud La- Moure, John Haggart, Bailey Fuller, C. B. Little, Frank Talcott, Cox, Simpson and Cashell, and many others of that day who were just as good, things would be different. We would at least know whom we could bank on, and a man’s word in those days was better than a_ post-dated check.” ¥ Yes, as we look .dver our present-day members of the upper house—our Cahills and Leiderbachs and Ingersons and Bowmans—and as we listen to their declarations of principles, we are forced to confess that the old days, the days of the OLD _GANG, if you will, were not so bad! The Old ‘Gang no doubt had its failings as have all of us humans since the days of Father Adan, but their faults were not of a little and despicable type. ‘They were at least Men. . A other Dunn. county friend of many years isenc: this message: ' “1 am writing you to express my appreciation ‘of your paper and my regret for the loss you have ‘suffered. It does not seem strange that you «shoulc ‘iave had a fire after the fight you have made on Townleyism, socialism and I, W. W.‘ism. ; And I want to further express my joy at your be- ‘ ing able to keep up the fight against the greatest ‘ menace civilization has ever known.” ‘ : The Tribune assures its Dunn county friends ‘that it has “plenty of Pep left,” and that it in- + tends te “keep up the fight against the greatest + menace civilization has ever known.” There was ; a time in Burleigh county when political bosses ; dumped inio the Missouri river the equipment of * newspapers which dared oppose them, but that : time has gone, and not even Townley terrorism can : restore it. It is understvod that Turkish laborers are about to strike for ia: ay and shorter hours. \ WHY APOLOGIZE? The editor of the Mandan News, a semi-Non- partisan organ, assures his readers that he is not a socialist. Whether he is boasting or apologiz- ing is not apparent, but we would advise him, if he wishes to‘hold his job, to see to it that Com- rade,Townley does not obtain a copy of that is- sue, REMEMBER THE KIDDIES For several weeks the open-air skating rinks about the city were kept up:in’fine shape, and 7 great was the enjoyment which the youngsters derived from them. Now fora week or two the jice has been buried under a foot or more of snow, and there has been no skating. We wonder if someone who has the authority could not see to it’ that the fire hose is trotted out and the rinks jgiven another dousing which will dissolve the snow and provide the kiddies with a smooth ice surface once more. It would certainly be worth while! OFF ON THE WRONG FOOT Per¢y Trubshaw of the Valley City Times-Rec- ord writes good editorials, and he usually is right. For that reason The Tribune is particularly grieved to find Percy stating in a recent issue of his paper that the boxes during the state conven- tion here last week were occupied by old-time “bosses” who quite visibly pulled the strings. The only old-time politician in evidence in any of the auditorium boxes that day was Assistant Attorney F. E., Packard, who hails from Percy’s home town, and whom we.do not believe Mr. Trub- shaw will class withthe standpatters. And Pack- ard was. there,’in the press box, as an innocent onlooker; and we are confident that he found in the state convention none ‘of the’ things which Percy imagines were better. ; Anyone who attended the state ‘convention could have informed Trubshaw of his-error. Un- fortunately, perhaps: partly due to Percy’s atti-) tude, there was no one from Barnes county there, and Mr. Trubshaw has been permitted to blunder into an error from which he must extricate him- self as best he may. It really isn’t necessary to raise the vice presi- dency’s salary. He must entertain, but he can al- ways take visiting dignitaries out to a hot-dog stand. : A San Antonio man, aged 102, attributes his long life to the use of booze.

Anyone who has covered our county by automobile knows that he can get anywhere in the county at almost any time and if he has tried to get as far as Bismarck even, he knows. by the condition of the roads when he hits the county lines. A detailed report given by the superin- tendent of highways follows, and it shows at what a surprisingly low cost our excellent roads have been built and maintained—McLean County In- dependent, (Nonpartisan.) REAL FARMERS TALK They are beginning to hear in Washington from the real farmers on the return of the railroads to their owners. The Nonpartisan league and the Society of Equity and some of the labor organiza- tions have been busy trying to frighten the mem- bers of congress into consent to leave the rail- roads under government operation for another pe- riod of two years. This is all a scheme to try to work in the Plumb plan, but yesterday 4,000,000 real farmers, through ‘their representatives, told the president to stick to his declaration that the roads would be returned to their owners’ March 1. Representations of this kind from thesg farm- ‘ers’ organizations will probably carry more weight than if it came from almost any other source, but ‘the shippers of the country, the manufacturers and merchants and consumers generally, who are affected by railroad operation and railroad rates, ie tee “DRAT THAT SHADDER?” A te ee the ttn tt ttt te MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1920 Seno weremrrenaae Seaeg = Aw, STICK AROUND, | GRANDAD, TEN YEARS CONSUMED ON VOYAGE FROM GLENDIVE TO COAST AND BUT HALF OF LONG JOURNEY YET MADE To be thrown into the headwaters of the Missouri river, to be found on “the banks of the river und again sent on its way to the sea, to be found again many years later, and to be thrown into tl lissouri a third time isthe interesting and un- usual experience of a small block uf wood.
