A Good Idea.

An official of the war department
proposes plan which gives promise
of complete prevention of fraud in
pension claims growing out of the
present war, as we'll as an active
guarantee that every soldier, or his
heirs, will secure prompt and CON-
plete Justice in every claim made.
The plan is so simple, and withal so
easy of operation, that it is difficult
to see any objection to its adoption.
Briefly stated it contemplates the
same kind of physical examination
of the soldiers as they are mustered
out that was given them as they
mustered in. Such an examination
would disclose any wounds or injuries
received in the course of the war, and
the records, which would be kept by
the war department, would make a
ready reference book for the depart
ment in considering the pension
claims for the future.-St. Thomas

A. N. Carlblom, republican nomi-
nee for state auditor, is one of the
most capable and competent county
auditors in North Dakota, and enjoys
high standing in Sargent county,
where he has resided for a number
of years. He is very popular with
those who know him and is indeed a
strong candidate for the position to
which he has been nominated. He
is in every way we'll qualified for the
position and will make careful
conservative official, one that will be
u credit to his county and to the en-
tire state.-Lisbon Free Press.

A Voice from Trail County.

There has-never been a time but
when the result of a political conven-
tion has left some sore disappoint-
ments to aspirants for public honor
who, no doubt, we're ths equal, and
at times, possibly, superior to the
successful ones, and the last republl-
can state convention is no exception
to this experience, but, as usual, the
Swearing train" has had it's time
honored inning, the ticket has been
thoroughly scrutinized and criticised
and the mass of republican voters of
North Dakota proceed in the even
tenor of their respective vocations.
each man feeling that his interests
are secure and that it is good to be a
republican, knowing full we'll that
the platform as adopted at the last
convention will be strictly adhered to
in the administration of affairs of the
state, and that with no other party
could he he enjoy an equal degree Of
property and contentment. He ex-
perienced the inability of the much
vaunted fusion party to properly con-
duct the affairs of a sovereign power
from 1928, and he is satisfied. The
republican ticket is good one, after
all has been said, and it will, without
doubt, poll the usual republican ma
iority.-Hillsboro Banner.

Good American Doctrine.

If the warwas instituted in the cause
of humanity, there is no moral line
of reasoning that can permit this
country to return the PHILIPPINE Is
lands to Spain for further oppression.
We must keep them whether we
want them Or not until the people
over there are capable of self govern
ment. This country has broken its
she'll of obscurity during the war
and should assert and maintain what
is right, in the east as we'll as in the
west. The United States is no long

What There is Of Fusion.

Literally interpreted, fusion means
anything for office. 1t gathers into
it's fold every shade of political senti-
ment and invites the discontented
and disgruntled of every political
complexion. 1t stands for no clear
cut expression of principles. The on
ly common ground for populists,
democrats and silver republicans to
stand upon during this campaign,
taking their past declarations and
traditions into account, is the desire
to hold office and distribute state
patronage. The only way to accom-
plish this end is to defeat the repub-
licans, and in hope of doing this,
which they confess will require the
close union of all anti republicans.
their platform must be constructed
so that it means all things to all men.
Anormal democrat and normal pop
ulist are as diametrically opposed to
each other, so far as political princi-
Piles are concerned, as popu]ists and
republicans, and more SO, yet the
ease and facility with which they
amalgamate betrays the lightness
with which they regard their political
faith. A life long republican will CO.
alesce with the mixture with the
same tacility-failing to get in
to Office few times-and will
champion the new cause with as
much felicity as he erstwhile courted
what he could not win.
The triumph of fusion cannot mean
more than a temporary victory fol
the spoils of Office. Everything is
planned to that end. The organiza.
tion itself is but temporary make
shift for the present campaign. II
successful there will be but an indi.
vidual responsibility. fors an- iHaivid.

Jim Bludso Of Tn. Prairie Belle.

(By our new Secretary of State, John Hay.)
Wall, no! can't tell what he lives,
Becase he don't live you see;
Leastways, he's got out of the habit
OF livin' like you and me.
What have you been for the last three year
That you haven't heard folks tell }
How Jimmy Bludso passed in his checks
The night of the Prairie Belle?
He weren't no salnt-them engineers
Is all pretty much alike;
One wife IN tchez-under-the-Hill, ]
And another one here in Pike;
A keerless man in his talk was Jim,
7And an awkward hand in row,
But he never funked, and he never lied J
reckon he never knowed how.
And this was all the religion he had;
To treat his engine we'll;
Never be passed on the river; 40
10 mind the pilots bell.
And if ever the Prairie Belle took fire.
A thousand times he swore
He'd hold her nozzle agin the bank =
Till the last soul got ashore.
All boats has their day on the Mississip, ~ ~,
And her day come at last
The Movastar was better boat, j
But the Belle she wouldn't be passed.
And SO she come tearing along, that night
The Oldest craft on the line
With niger squat on her her safety valve,
fAAu uSE 1uiudCo cEdL1ltueu, fOblu anu pine.
The fire bust out as she c]ared the bar,71
And burnt hole in the night,
And quick as a flash she turned, and made
For the willer bank on the right.
There was runnln' and cursln', but Jim yell
led out, q
Over all the internal roar,
''I'll hold her nozzle agin the bank !
Till the last galoots ashore.'
Through the hot, black breath of the burn
in boat
| Jim Bludso's voice was heard,
| And they all had trust in his cussedness,
| And they knowed he would keep his word.
! And sure's you're born, they all got off
| Afore the smokestacks fell
| And Bludso's ghost went up alone
! In the smoke of the Prairie Belle
He weren't no saint-but at judgement
| I'd run my chance with Jim,
| 'Longside of some pious gentlemen
That would mt shook hands with him.
He seen his duty, a dead-sure thing
| And he went for it thar and then;
| And Chri st amt a-goin' too hard
