GONE HOME.

The Washington dispatches announce
that Martin n. Johnson Of Petersburg,
North Dakota, has gone home.
There is Il world of history and r0-
nance in this II simple statement.
To the average individual, who has
no inside knowledge of the facts in the
case, it might simply appear that Mar
tin y. johnson, a plain and unvarnished
gentleman who has been down to
Washington from North Dakota, seeing
the sights and hobnObbing with not
ablcs, has returned to his home after
IL pleasant trip, to 1--WE the natives

Of the new library and the impressive

tale Of the departure of Il truly great

OminOus shadows.

lights Of bucolic simplicity, leaving the

These We're Frank Upham, Company
c. Grafton; William Il. Howell, Com
pany X, Dickinson, and John A. Ewing,
Company G, Valley City. Howell was
a son of p. Howell Of Superior, Wis,
and his death occurred while enroute
home on a transport ship. Advices re-
ceived relative to the matter state
that he had once been offered his dis
charge but decided to fight it out, in the
hope that he would master the disease
that finally overcame him. He was Il
brave man and a good soldier. Up
ham was a brother of the former regis
ter of deeds of Walsh county, one of
the brightest young men in Grafton
and left Il good position to enlist with
the company. Ewing was a stranger
in the state until q short time before
he enlisted and the records of the Office
of the adjutant general show his neal
est relative to have been Agnes Hard
ing of Paterson, N. J. Three more
heroes are added to the rolls of those
who have given up life for country.

Two constitutional amendments will
Ike submitted to the people at the next
election. One of them provides for
the creation Of a state board of par.
dons, consisting of the governor, attor-
ney general and chief justice Of the
supreme court and the other for the
assessment of express and similar CON-
panies by the state board Of equaliza-
ton, for which there is now no consti-
tutional provision. These amend
ments have passed two sessions Of the
legislative assembly as the law pro-
vides they must before being submit
ted to the people.

Of the bills before the governor
passed by the recent legislature, about
half have been approved and the execu.
tive has fifteen days from the adjourn
ment Of the session in which to approve
the remaining measures. Measures
not approved or vetoed by that time
become laws by lapse Of time. The
governor had the work Of examination
and consideration Of bills well in hand
up to the last two days of the session,
in which the two houses finally passed
about Il hundred bills, which it will
take some time to examine and pass
upon.

The rapidity with which the vacant
land in North Dakota is being acquired
by settlers is shown in the annual re-
port Of the commissioner of agriculture
and labor of which there has been up
to the present time no comprehensive
summary. The report shows that in
the past fiscal year 1,6O5,391 acres of
land passed from the ownership Of the
government to private owners. These
were in the shape Of final homestead
proofs, cash proofs and timber culture
proofs.

The Glaspell matter was quickly dis
posed of by the legislature and the end
of the matter is generally agreed to be a
happy termination to an investigation
that should not have come before the
legislature in the shape it did. The
committee did all that was required Of it
in presenting the testimony and the
legislature dismissed the case as one
that, but for the persistency Of the
Judge and his friends, would mott have
come before the assembly.

The concurrent resolution providing
for Il local option and high license
amendment to the constitution failed
to come up for a vote. The resolution
was not reported from committee and
neither house was afforded any oppor-
tunity to express its sentiment as to
prohibition. except in the instance of
the senate when the temperance com-
missioner bill was defeated. But as
conservatives Of all beliefs admitted
that this measure was worse than fool
ish, this was perhaps hardly a fair test.
Still, it is doubtful if either house
would have passed any easur affect,
ing the present prohibition law-at
least the republican party was pledged
to take no backward step In this direc-
ton.
The new game law gives the state
game warden a smaller fee bill than
under the old, as under the new law q
portion of the fees have to be turned in
to the state. Under the old law the fees
were divided among the wardens and
in some counties fees to the aggregate
Of s 1000 were paid for hunters licenses
and the state or county received no
benefit.

The house would not hear of the re-
peal of the farm loan law, and it also
defeated a bill to provide for the clear
ing of the titles to the land that is al
ready m%ortgaged to the state. 1t is we'll
enough to say that the farm lands Of the
state are ample security for the school
fund, but no business man would allow
loans to stand out without satisfying
himself of the validity and accuracy of
the titles to the land on which his money
was loaned, and it would seem that the
state should be as careful in the matter
as the individual. If the state
should lose one loan, the people
would be called upon to pay as much or
more than the appropriation necessary
to clear up all the titles, as the school
fund, if lost in any way, must be made
good by direct taxation.

The primary election law passed by
the legislature was Senator Titles bill
which makes no change in the present
system except that it requires the cleo
ton of delegates by ballot, instead of by
the caucus system that prevails in many
parts of the state. The system hat has
been adopted has been in use in Bur-
leigh county for years and is satisfactory,
adds no complicated machinery to the
present election system as was proposed
by some of the bills introduced, and in
sures a fair expression of sentiment in
the choice of delegates to represent the
people in convention.

on wheels, although it's perambulations
will not be so extensive MS under the
old law providing for three terms at
Fargo, Grand Forks aud Bismarck.
The constitution of the state when
adopted, provided for three terms of
court q year, one ut each of these cities.
This arrangement was unsatisfactory
for the reason that the judges were
taken away from the library at the
state capitol and the records of the
court had to be moved at each term.
Accordingly q law was passed two
years ago fixing the terms of court ut
the state capitol. But resident clients
and attorneys of the Red River valley
objected to this arrangement, claiming
that the distance was q source of incon-
v%enience and the expense greater when
terms were held in Bismarck alone.
4 compromise vas effected by which
there will be two terms of court each
year, of two sessions each. The first
session Of the spring term will be held
rat Fargo and the second at Bismarck.
The same arrangement is made with
reference to the fall term, except that
the first session is held at Grand Forks.
When cases are desired to he tried at
either the Fargo or Grand Forks term,
they must be noticed to the judges
twenty days before the term is called.

Of the republican party and among the
thinking people of the state. 1t may
be that the editorial columns of the
Argus were getting SO heavy lis to over
balance the other end of the paper.
But however it he, Editor Baker is OUT.
In the same issue of the Argus it is
stated that the legislature just adj
jOurned was an improvement over
many previous one and that there are
worse men than Jud LaMoure. So it
is doubly apparent that Baker is out.
