COUNTY FAILS TO RECOVER MONEY LOST # McHenry county was held not en- titled to recover $14,796.79 from the Northern Trust Company of Fargo, because of a surety bond provided for the First National Bank of Towner, which closed December 20, 1920, the supreme court held in an opinion handed down. The county, alleging that the treasurer purchased cashier’s checks from the First National Bank for forwarding to the Bank of North Dakota for deposit, alleged that it lost $14,796.79 of county funds in the bank closing, which should be recovered on a bond of $30,000 pro- vided for the bank as a depositary. An arrangement by the county treasurer with the national bank, whereby the ‘treasurer delivered en- dorsed checks and other items to the bank for collection purposes and re- ceived a cashier’s check at the same time, was not intended by the par- ties to constitute a deposit of coun- ty funds subject to draft, as pro- vided in the surety bond, the court, inion by Justice Johnson, FIND OLD PATENT Washington, Oct. 25.—A copy of patent issued in 1791—the fourth pa- tent ever issued in this country— has been found by the patent office of the Department of the Interior.

Spectators line at Lakeh , a regulation which RISK COMPANY DROUTH LOSS CASEIN COURT Supreme Court Holds With Insurance Company on Adjustment The state supreme court, in a de- cision handed down today, affirmed the judgment of District Judge H. L. Berry of the Hettinger county district court which favored the National Union Fire Insurance Com- pany in one of the drouth insurance cases. Numerous other suits are understood to depend on the deci- sion. John Roether, farmer, had insured crops with the company in 1917 for protection against loss by hail or other causes excepting flood and fire. He claimed his crops were partly destroyed by dry weather and hot winds and that damage ot $10,- 000 was done. He settled with an adjuster for the company for $751.60. The adjuster, he alleged persuaded him the company was in financial straits and could pay him but 79 cents on the dollar, Later, his com- plaint said, he learned the company was not bankrupt, and he brought suit for the difference, amounting to $153.50, with interest and costs increasing the demand to $253.90. The high court, in affirming Judge Berry, in a decision written by Justice Nuessle. “Mere silence by a person against whom a cause of action exists is not such fraudulent concealment of the accrual of the cause of action as will postpone the beginning of the period of limitations, whether the action be one at law or in equity; there must be some affirm- ative act or representation designed to prevent and which does not in fact prevent the discovery of the cause of action, or lulls suspicion as to its existence,” said the deci- sion. “The relation of debtor and creditor, with silence on the part of the debtor concerning the existence of a cause of action against him, does| not constitute concealment within this rule.” BOY INJURED, KEEPS SILENCE Grand Forks, N. D., Oct. 25.— Stoutly refusing to tell how it hap- pened, 9 year old Robert Ward Goodman came home, riding on the handlebars of another boy’s bicycle, his face streaming with blood from a bullet wound through his nose and cheek and with several teeth knocked out, He says he is not get- ting any of his friends into trou- ble, merely remarking that he was playing with comrades and. that an accident happened.

D., He Says Four speakers appeared on the platform in the city Auditorium last night in a political rally staged pri- marily for the LaFollette-Wheeler campaign and secondarily for the Nonpartisan League * state _ ticket. United States Senator Lynn J. Fra- zier, A. S. Sorlie, Republican-League candidate for Governor, T. H. H. Thoresen, candidate for Attorney- General, and Walter Maddock, can- didate for Lieutenant-Governor, were the speakers. A La-Follette-Wheeler moving picture also was shown. The auditorium was well filled. Senator Frazier, who had been speaking in the east recently for La- Follette, declared that he found much interest in “conservative New Eng- land” in the LaFollette movement. “I am satisfied this progressive movement is sweeping east and I predict by November 4 that there will be a landslide for Bob LaFollette,” the Senator said. He declareg the people were with LaFollette because he had been fight- ing their battles for 40 years, and this fight was their fight. Senator ents with attempting to befog the issue by charging that LaFollette is a dangerous radical. Supreme Court He read the supreme court plank in the LaFollette platform — which favors a referendum on the adoption of an amendment to the Constitution providing that if Congress passes an act which is declared unconstitution- al by the supreme court a succeeding Congress may pass it and it shall be itutional. his xmendment would have to be adopted in the regular way, by three- fourths of the states,” he said. “It; means that if the supreme court cides an act unconstitutional it k and if passed by two-| is | reports to division headquarters here.

RELIGIOUS © Sunday Nov. 2, Designated as Religious Education Day Sunday, November 2, will be ob- served by the churches of the state j9s_ Religious Education Day. | The purpose of the day, accord- ting to C. A. Armstrong, State Sup- lerintendent of the North Dakota |Council of Religious Education, is jto place before the church people of the state, the necessity of more religious instruction for our chil- ‘dren. “Recent surveys made by Walter ‘Athearn of Boston University reveal the fact that 75 percent of the chil- dren in our public schools will lie, cheat, or steal. Moral instruction is desirable but it is not’ sufficient,” says “Religious instruction in home, Sunday school, and church must be made effective if the foun- dations of our civilization are to remain secure. The churches will be asked to Ipass a resolution petitioning the next Legislature, to make adequate provision for the establishment of Week-Day Church Schools. ~—_____.—_—_-~« DON’T FORGET | | | Der | STUDY URGED, y it shall become law.!

ASSERTED BIG ISSUE IN N. D. Halvor Halvorson, Speaking is Radical EXPLAINS THE SYSTEM Says Forefathers System of Checks and Balances in Government Fargo, N. D., Oct. 25.—There is just one vital question before the voters of North Dakota in making their decision as to state candidates at the coming election, declared Hal- vor L, Halvorson, coalition candidate for governor, in his address at the Fargo auditorium last evening. That question is: Do the voters want to turn this state over- once more to one of the most drastic programs of socialistie experimenta- tion ever attempted in the world out- side of Russia, or do they want to continue the work of getting North Dakota back onto the sane, tried and proven methods of government which have made these United States the envy ang the admiration of the world? Mr. Halvorson spoke to one of the largest crowds that has turned out to hear a political address in recent years in Fargo, a crowd that filled the entire lower floor of the big Fa go auditorium to capacity and over- and which listened with the closest attention from first to last and accorded the saker a rdusing burst of applaus The addr was broadcast radio fans throughout the northwest from station WDAY.

The document included the text of an alleged letter marked ry cret” from M. Zinovieff, president the executive committee of the Communist Internationale, to — the central committe of the British Communist Party, containing in the words of the foreign office “in- structions to British subjects to work for the violent overthrow of existing institutions in this country and for the subversion of His Ma- jesty’s armed forces as 4 means to that end.” Hostile newspapers find proof in} the letters of their contentions that the Labor Party is under the sway of the Communists. Meanwhile it is stated in behalf of the accused Russians that the of- fending document is a manifest for- | gery. One of the signatories of the, letter as published is Arthur Mc- Manus, British representative in the Internationale, who has just return- ed from Russia, He says he never signed such a document and that it is a clumsy forgery. GIVES PRAISE FOR COOLIDGE FOREIGN TALK Head of Near East Relief Sees it as an Important sentation of the important questions which confront North Dakota, Presents Masterly Plea His plea for the preservation of the American constitution as the foundation upon which has been builded the great success of the American system of government was masterly and he flayed the LaFol- lette idea of departing from this: tried and proven system of govern- ment, the oldest continuing system of government in the world, to em- bark upon an experiment that would {put into the hands of congress terri- ble and tyrannical power, “The fathers who founded this re- public, who wrote the constitution that has lasted longer than any other system of government now in exist- ence, were fearful of the very thing which LaFollette now proposes to do,” said Mr. Halvorson. “The fathers were men who had known the terror of tyrannical pow- er. They had come to this land to be free from that tyranny and they planned a system of government that would be an automatic check on tyranny. Fathers Planned Checks “They planned to have three chief He made an attack on Governor Nestos. Mr. Sorlie said he had made a statement in Bottineau that two, men on the Industrial Commission! had come to him to talk about his! becoming manager of the state mill.} He said the Governor had denied, this. He also said he hhd been. talk-! ing to his office in Grand Forks, andj an employe said he had overheard the conversation and knew Sorlie was telling the truth. “Back in July when they talked, about me managing the mill I said ‘you don’t want to appoint me man-j ager of the mill and elevator. The industrial commission would be only a board of directors then, there would be no polities and you wouldn't have anything to say about it.” Sorlie ridiculed the board of man- departments in government: the ex- ecutive, charged with enforcing the laws; the congress, charged with making the laws; and the courts, charged with interpreting the law: and the constitution. “The fathers realized that to put any two of these powers into one body. would be to invite tyrannical usurpation of power. ‘Now comes Mr. LaFollette and asks the American veople to give to congress, not only the power to make the laws but if the supreme court held any law unconstitutional, all that congress would need to do to nullify that decision would be to Pass the law a second time. ‘That would put into the hands of| congress a terrible power, and I do not believe the American people are agers idea, and declared that good (Continued on page 8) ELKS HAVE BiG TIME Initiation of Nine Candi- dates, Parade, Reports, Feature Last night was a big night in Bis- marek Lodge No. 1199, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.

Another big initiation ceremony is planned in November. in favor of giving such power to congress. Mask For Socialism “Mr. LaFollette is, indeed, being used as a mask behind whom the socialists of the country hope to come into power. If you do not be- lieve that, read the press dispatches which tell of the fact that Victor Berger, the Milwaukee socialist, has come out and boldly proclaimed that LaFollette has come over bodily to the socialists. * “If you want further proof, all that is necessary is to realize that Dewey Dorman, who has a 15 years record as a socialist in North Dakota, is LaFollette’s campaigm manager in those four states.

Seated at plain pine tables the guests partook of the same simple menu which is provided daily for thousands of refugee orphans under Amertean care in Bible lands. The guests were a notable company. The Ambassadors of France, China and other countries were present. Jus- tice Stanford of the United States supreme court sat beside Major Gen- eral Harbord whose pioneer work for Armenia was recognized by the cheers of the guests. “Aside from the presence of Mr. Coolidge the occasion would have been internationally notable through Ambassador Jusserands remarks. The French Ambassador announced that this was his farewell address te the people of America. His plea for continued support of Nea: East Relief based on his personal know!- edge of its work in Syria was one of tke most important utterances of its kind ever made by 2 foreign diplomat.” Goose Hunters Have Fine Luck Haezlton, N. D., Oct. 25.—Local goose hunters have been having the very best kind of luck in bagging the big birds during the past week, ; and are bringing in some very fine specimens of the large white geese. They say that Long Lake is literally alive with the birds, it having esti- mated that there were at least 5,000 geese on the lake last Sunday.

Loan Approval The president took occasion also to restate that while this govern- ment had given its “general appro- bation” to numerous loans made by its private citizens in aiding the refinancing of European countries, the loans were made “without the assumption of any obligation what- ever by our government.” Going into a detailed account of the errands of mercy by this gov- ernment in Europe, and the far east in recent years, and to its accom- plishments in stabilizing economic conditions generally, the president referred to those “exceedingly mod- est souls” who “constantly deprecate | their own assumption that our coun- } try has done nothing for Furope.” American relief during the famine periods in Russia had prevented, he declared, the spread of bolshevism over a large proportion of Europe. But for this relief, he added, civil- ization “which has been set back a generation in Russia, would have! had the same setback over a half score of other countries. Peace would have been impossible.” Payroll Holdup Is Discovered Whippany, N.

Wallace of Iowa, Secretary of Agriculture in President Coolidge’s Cabinet, died this afternoon. Washington, Oct. 25,—Physictans attending Secretary Wallace of the agriculture department, who is ly- ing between life and death in a hospital here, said before noon to- day that the “secretary's condition cculd hardly bq more unfavorable for recovery.” There still is a slight Hope but Mr. Wallace has been unconciou3 since early this morning and the poisoning which followed an opera- tion a week ago appears to have spread to all parts of the body. Dr. Joel T. Boone, the White House physician, who is in attend- ance, indicated after this morning examination that it was only a question of how long the heart ac- tion would hold out. There were grave fears that the end might come within a few hours. The Agriculture Secretary 1s in 59th year and although natural- ly of a robust constitution the ef- fects of the toxemia poisoning have made serious inroads on his vital- ity.
