A List Of Schools and Amounts Raised From Each As Compiled by County Superintendent Hattie F. Booth. An effort is being made throughout the county to encourage the teaching of agriculture in the rural schools. The Itasca County fair association has been offering premiums for work done by the children of the rural schools but the work hereto fore has not been of an agricultural nature so much as along the line of their regular school studies, At the annual meeting of the fair association last spring a committee was appointed to act with the county superintendent of schools in an effert to encourage agricultural edvcation. It was considered advisable to offer premiums to school children for agri- cultural products grown by themselves, and that this would have the best effect in the promotion of agnculture in the school. A special building for the school children on the fair ground would lend considerable influence, and if built in part by them would add stil greater interest. In this purpose Ms. Booth took the Matter up with the teachers of the rural schools, and splended results have followed. It has been considered best to wait Grand Napid 4 4 2 4 Herald-Neview Granp Rapips, Irasca County, MINN., Wepnzspay, AUGUST 26, 1908. acredit to the cause.

QUALITY a A. L. THWING CANDIDATE FOR DISTRICT JUDGE A Splendid Endorsemen from the Businessmen of Grand Rapids and Surrounding Towns. THE INDEPENDENTS UNFAIR TACTICS REBUKED BY REPRESENTATIVE MEN Not Withouf*Honor in His Own Town. The Dirty Policy of the Inde- pendent Causes Mr. Thwing’s Associates to Publicly Endorse His Candidacy and Will Push for His Election. WHEREAS, because of the resignation of Hon. M. A. Spooner, one o the late District Judges of the Fifteenth Judicial District, Minnesota, it will be necessary to elect his successor at the next general election to be held on the 3rd day of November, , 1908, and also necessary that candi- dates tor said office be nominated at the general primary election to be held on the 15th day of September, 1908, and WHEREAS, Mr. A. L. Thwing of the village of Grand Rapids, Itasca county, Minnesota, is one of the Republican candidates for nomination at said primary election, and WHEREAS, we know Mr. Thwing to be an able and well read lawyer, possessed of a good judicial mind, and in every way qualified for said office, and also know him to be an upright, honest and honorable citizen and in everyway worthy of said office, all of which has been evidenced and established during his seven years’ residence in Grand Rapids. and WHEREAS, there has been published in the columns of the Itasca County Independent, certain charges, insinuations and inuendos against Mr. Thwing, and certain claims relative to his candidacy for said office, all of which charges, insinuations, inuendos and claims, are known by us to be absolutely false, and manufactured out of whole cloth by said newspaper and its editor, for the purpose of creating a false impression damaging to Mr. Thwing in other counties of this judicial district and for the purpose of maliciously injuring the standing of Mr. Thwing in such other counties of this district and preventing his nomination as a candidate for said office, Now THEREFORE, we, the undersigned residents and citizens of the county of Itasca, Minnesota, do hereby state over our signatures, that in our judgement and belief, based upon seven years’ personal acquaint- ance with Mr. Thwing, and acquaintance with his conduct and character, all of which are well known to us, and also based upon our acquaintance with his honesty, integrity and ability, he is eminently fitted and quali- fied both by education and by natural endowment, for the office of Dis- triet Judge.of this District, and that his personal character is above re- proach. That he is in all respects an honest, honorable, clean, capable and upright man and citizen, and in every way worthy of being elected to said office. We further state that the several slanderous and defamatory charges, insinuations and representations relative to Mr. Thwing and his candi- dacy for said office, heretofore published in the columns of the Itasca County Independent, are each and all maliciously false, in gross and de- tail, and were known to be false by the person who wrote them and by the editor of that paper when they were so published, and that they were each and all written with the malicious and sinister design on the part of one or two persons of whom that paper and its editor are the mere tools, to injure and damage Mr. Thwing in the several counties of this judicial district, by creating the impression that Mr. Thwing is not of good standing in the community where he liyes. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that we heartily endorse the candidacy of Mr. Thwing for the office of District Judge of this Judicial District and earnestly request the good citizens and electors of this district to give him their support at the coming primary election.

TIMID TONY DISPLAYS \GNORANCE In His Attacks Upon Mr. Thwing The Editor of that Paper is Wilfully Distorting the Truth Without End. Given a combination of idiocy, im- becility and viciousness, in the pos- session of a printing press, and suftic- ient type to set up a column of printed matter, and have the whole thing controlled by a contemptible slinking cowardly assassin of reputa- tion, and you have the Itasca County Independent in the summer of 1908 attacking Mr. A. L. Thwing. Never was the imbecility and vie- iousness of any person of paper mani- fested or exhibited more completely than are the imbecility and vicious- ness of the Independent exhibited in its article against Mr. Thwing printed in the first column of the first sheet of that paper of August 20, 1908. If the person who runs that paper had even a modicum of intelligence he would know that instead of his tirade being an arraignment of Mr. Thwing, it was and is an arraignment of the petit jury of Itasca Couny, an attack upon justice and right and that when analyzed by thinking men, it demonstrates that that paper and its editor insofar as they have any in- fluence at all, are dangerous to any community, and vicious in the ex- treme. Justice is not measured by the number of convictions obtained, but it is measured by the right thing being done by courts and juries when cases are submitted tothem. A real county attorney, the true representa- tive of the people, is nota persecutor, neitheris he one who thinks the winning of cases the great end to he attained. On the contrary, he is en- deavoring at all times to find the right, the real truth, justice; and when that is once found, whether it is in convicting a person charged with crime or ordering his acquittal, the result is the same, and it is the duty of the county attorney, when once that fact is determined or seen, to act accordingly. If, after an indictment bad been brought, and a defendant arraigned, a jury for the trial of his case called and sworn, and the evi- dence of the state submitted, it should devolve that the man was in- nocent or that the evidence was such that the probabilities of his innocence were so great that he ought not then be submitted to the possibility of a | conviction, it 1s the duty of the coun- ty attorney to immediately rise and so state the Court even if that county attorney believed that he could suc- ceed in convicting the defendant. The county attorney does not represent one side of the case. in that broader and better fleld of jurisprudence, he represents both sides of the case. It is the duty of the county attor- bey to submit the evidence to a petit jury sworn to try a case, to place that evidence before such jury fairly, im- | partially and with that dignity that belongs to the state. Then, in a closing argument, to quietly, candid- iy, honestly state the evidence and the deductions the state draws from the same to the jury, and then to leave the whole matter with the | jury for its determination, and when the state has done this and the jury, in the exercise of the powers conferred. upon it by law finds the defendant not guilty, such jury should not be criticised and a newspaper that attacks such acquit- j tals is an enemy to the state, a men- ace to the well beiog of society, and dangerous in a free country. The charge made by the Indepen- dent of the failure of Mr. Thwing to convict certain parties charged with crime is an insult to the juries of this county. The evidence in criminal cases is largely procured by the sheriff of the county, and his assistants, sv that these charges of the Independent are not only an insult to thej ury, but an insult to the sheriff as well. Does the Itasca County Indepen- dent think the juries of this county either acquit Or couvict men because of the county attorney? Does the Independent believe that the juries of this county are moved byt he personality of the lawyers who try cases, instead .of by the justice and right of the case? If so, it is very badly mistaken, and that mis- taken grows out of its imbecility, its idiocy, its viciousness. Such a paper ought not to exist, and it is one of the unfortunate things we have to fear that an idiot, a fool, an imbecile a vicious person, once given money enough to buy a priating press and type can set up and proceed to publish a@ newspaper for which he is absolu- tely and totally untit, both by nature and education. and yet his paper can be circulated where he is not kaown and have influence where it otherwise would be condemned. The agncultural society have about decided on holding the annual fair this year on September 17th, 18th, and 1gth. This will make it late enough so that the display of farm and garden stuff should be the best ever and will give exhibitors ample time to prepare their exhibits. The premium list promises to be the best everand if it is possible to have the track completed the association promises some inter- esting racing with a good string of outside horses in attendance. The various committees are now actively at work and in an early issue we shall presenta complete program of the fair. We hope this year to see a larger exhibit from farmers and others that may come in from a greater distance and can assure all such that they will be accorded the best of everything. Let’s make it a county fair in fact as well as in name. AGE. |e
