THERE will be no further session of the
Legislature before Tuesday. After that
time the members will get down to hard
work to dispose of what business IS be-
fore them, and to come. The temper
ance commissioner bill will be reported
soon after reconvening, and the appro-
priation committee will return the bills
referred to it, with amendments, which
will be based on the finances of the
state, and equal fairness to all institu-
tions as is possible under the circumstan-
ces. AS long as the number of state in
situations and the amount of the states
finances are so seriously out of proper
ton, the appropriations will continue to
be much smaller than boards of man
agement believe they should be.

The persistence of the Fargo Argus in
misrcpresenting Representative Stevens
is not creditable journalism. Mr.. Stew
ems is not faultless by any means, and
has made mistakes-who in public life
has not-but he is able, earnest and sin
cere. He is a man of strong likes and
dislikes and as far as the press is con-
cerned it hasn't a better friend or cham
pion in the state. 1t is but human ma
ture to feel aggrieved when correspond
ents persist in misrepresenting him and
insist OF impugning his motives. The
liberties of the press are so great every
editor should strive not to abuse them,

The house amendment to the bill ap-
propriating $500 to pay the reward for
the conviction of the Spicer %murderers--
provides for the payment of the sum to
former Sheriff Shier of Emmons county.
The bill originally provided that the
governor should pay the reward to the
person found entitled to receive it-and
it would no doubt please the governor to
have the bill passed as amended-as
there are several persons who might be
applicants for a share of the reward
and the parceling out of the parts of the
appropriation cherry might not be easy.

THE bill proposed by the joint CON-
mittee on game laws embodies what the
members of the committee believe to
be for the best interests of the state. The
new law reduces the perquisites of the
state game warden, giving him only one-
fifth of the fees collected-instead of a
third. Last year the fees paid to the
state warden aggregated over $500
making the position a paying one-at
the same rate of collections under the
proposed bill the receipts of the state
warden would be about S1,5OO.

The Minneapolis Journal is wrong
again, for whatever may be said about
Hon. J. S. Green-contestant for a seat
in the state senate from Morton county
he's a pat man with his friends-and
enemies too for that matter-and one of
those uncompromising republicans who
believes that a republican can't be
wrong. No matter how the contest case
is settled Morton county ought to be
thankful, grateful to Green for the re-
suits of his energies-exerted in the
state senate two years ago.

AT a very recent banquet, given at
Dayton: Ohio, under the auspices of the
state republican league, Cushman K.
Davis spoke to the toast of "new lands
and new responsibilities" In the course
of the distinguished s~tatesman's re-
marks he eulogized the personality of
William Mckinley as a leader and a
man, (which entitled him to a renomina-
ton and triumphant reelection" and
then turned to the war with Spain. He
scored President Cleveand 'for evading
issues which, ifhe had faced them would
have kept aloft the horrors of war from
the shoulders of his successor" Mr.
Davis remarks will have a tendency tc
do away with the oft repeated rumol
that he was laying the wires for the
presidential nomination for himself.

A Healthful Drink for Hot Weather.

This is the twenty-iirst season for that
famous and healthful drink, Hires Rootbcer
The campaign has opened. The war against
thirst is Oh and of course Hires will reign
supreme in an undisputed realm of its own.
In all of these years it has stood proof
against imitation and counterfeit, and now
i'll its strength of full growth rises far above
any serious competition.
Summer and Hires Rootbeer are associated
in our mind as things !nseparable. We look
forward to that as summer beverage as we
look for the rising of the sun. 1t has been
of inestimable value to thousands of people,
supplying them at once with n delicious.
healthful and thirst uenching drink, occu-
plying the same place at the family table as
tea or coffee,
Its growth has been rapid and remarkable
long since reaching proportions never
dreamed Of by its proprietors. One Of its
remarkable features is its trifling cost, one
package may be converted into 5 gallons of
this delicious, sparkling, temperance drink,
containing medicinal properties of we'll
known virtue.
