The Grand Forks Herald is
putting in some good licks these
days in favor Of direct legisla-
ton for the people, and in con-
sequence is getting some hot
shots from some of it's oppon-
ents. At the same time the idea
is one of the best and would be
a great thing for the people gen
orally. With measures put be-
fore the voters for a direct vote
it would do away with a mass of
corruption and bribery and mer-
itorious measures up before the
legislature that are defeated by
lobbies and scheming politicians
would receive a fair show of
either becoming a law or not as
a majority of The voters desired.
The Herald is pounding away
along the right lines and the
fruits of it's labors in this direc-
ton will be felt after awhile.
What We want is less politics and
more legislation for the good of
the people.

seat in the national house last
Thursday by a vote of 27s to 50.

ing a seat We're 1853 republicans.
80 democrats and i populists;
those who voted in favor of his
taking a seat were II democrats,
2 silver republicans and / popu-
list. In the November 23d issue
of the Sentinel appears an edi
torial which said that the w. c..
I. U. and other organizations
were terribly scared for fear
Roberts would be seated. and in
another editorial of another date
the Sentinel intimates thai the
republicans were trying to make
the Roberts affair a party issue.
The Sentinel isanything but con
sistent and speaks without any
knowledge Of the attitude of the
party it represents. 1t will be
seen by glance at the vote that
the democratic party is again st
polygamy and made justas much
a party issue of the matter as
did the republican party. OF
course il the democrats voted
wrong, it must be that those
memb bers who voted not to seat
Roberts did not receive any IN
structions from the Sentinel as
to what stand to take in the mat
ter. Hereafter when such an
important matter comes up in
the house we hope that the Sen
tinel will keep the members
posted so that the two will not be
pulling in opposite directions.
The Courier congratulates both
the democrats and republicans

North Dakota will see more
railroad building in 1900 than in
any year since statehood. 1t is
almost a certainty that the Aneta
branch will be extended, in fact
we are informed that that sur
vey has already been started out.
In the event of the Great North
ern pushing out of Aneta it
would seem reasonable that the
Northern Pacific would also run
up into the northern part of this
county and on to Ottofy. The
building of these new extensions
means the bringing of hundreds.
yes. thousands of new settlers
into the state and consequently
will send up the price Of farm
lands.

Eight thousand manuscripts
were received by the Ladies
Home Journal during the year
just closed. Each was given a
careful reading, but out of the
entire number only eighty were
found worthy of publication. The
manuscript bureau of the Ladies
Home Journal is operated at a
large expense, but the hope of
discovering new writer's or some
aspirants with undeveloped tai
ent warrants the outlay. 1t can
be seen that the articles secur-
ed by such a careful winnowing
process brings the cost of each
up to and above the remunera
tion paid our best writer's. These
facts bring refu tation to the oft
repeated but none the less erron-
eous assertion that only we'll
known writer's of established lit
erary reputation are able to find
a place for their work in the mag
azines. Exactly the contrary is
true. The Ladies Home journal
through the manuscripts
considered, has discovered three
or four new writer's of excellent
merit and great promise, and
this find" its editor regards as
fully warranting the large outlay
OF maintaining an expensive
bureau for reading all the. manu-

Insanity Increases.
Grand Forks Herald:


crowded condition of the insane
hospitals of the country was the sub
ject of an animated discussion be-
tween two local physicians yesterday,
the matter in debate being what steps
should be taken by the legislative
bo1ies Of the land to check the
alarming increase of the malady. 1t
is we'll known fact that in this and
other states, about one.half of the in
mates of the insane hospitals are
Scandinavians. With the exception
of the Jews every other nationality
is represented.
One of the physicians thought that,
more than any other one cause, the
extreme business activity of the pres
ent period is responsible for the in
crease OF insanity. He said that
competition in all lines of business,
as we'll as in the various professions
was so keen that thousands of peo-
pie were not able to stand the tense
mental strain. Though the average
man would not lose his reason from
this cause, one who perhaps inherits
a weak mind, often succumbs to the
continual worry incident to an active
business career. In his opinion the
people OF the present age were living
too fast, and while the conditions that
prevail might result in the develop
ment of great number of brilliant
minds, proportionably, the same con-
ditions result in the breaking down
of many others.
The other physician held that the
in n,anity records would not bear out
any such theory. The insanity rec
ords OF Grand Forks county for inst
ance, show that large percentage OF
the patients committed lost their
mental balance from one of two
causes, viz. Alcoholism and re-
Ilgion. Hereditary insanity in this
state is not on the increase; nearly all
other forms are. Both physicians
agreed that immediate steps should
be taken to check a further increase
in the terrible malady, as the crowd
ed condition OF the instition at
Jamestownis is standing monument to
the necessity OF prompt action.
At the present time there are about
500 patients at the jamestown
asylum, and, would the facilities
there permit, at least $50 more
patients who have been examined by
the insanity boards in the several
countries of the state, would have
been committed. As it is the milder
cases are not sent to the hospital as
they should be, as in many instances,
course of treatment in the early
would often result in complete re-
storation of the mental faculties of
the uniortunates.

1t is is said that J adge Morgan
of the Devils Lake district is a
candidate for the supreme bench
to succeed Judge Bartholomew.
Judge Morgan is said
to have the best record
before the supreme court
of any district Judge in the state,
being an able jurist and a very
popular man. Taking into con-
sideration the fact that Mr..
Bartholomew has been on the su-
preme bench a number of years
will give Mr.. Morgan a pretty
good chance to get in. He
certainly will be a strong candi.

Judge Pollock has announced
an important decision on the nox-
ious weed law. There is pro-
vision on the statute which makes
it compulsory on the road over
seers to see that noxious weeds
along the roads in their districts
are pulled. When owners of
land refuse to obey the law, after
proper notification, the overseers
are entitled to have the work
done and tax the costs against
the property. Near Davenport
last summer a farmer was an
noyed by the weedson an adjoin
ing farm, and made complaint,
which was disregarded by Chris
tian Messner, the overseer. The
latter was brought into Justice
court and fined $50 for neglect
ing his duties. The case was ap-
pealed on the ground of the un-
constitutionality Of the law.
Judge Pollock holds the law good
and affirmed the decision of the
justice of the peace. The matter
is of great Importance to the
farmers, who are thus protected
against careless and inconsider-
ate neighbors.

Nearly every local paper in the
state these days is busy boom
ing the Cap e Nome gold fi,lIs
and the indications are that the
rush to this colorado of the pre-
cious metal in the spring will be
far greater than it was TO the
Klondike in 1898. AS these dig
gings are in the United States
there will be no dispute as to the
title with the Canadian authori-
ties as was the case in 1898. If
the expectations of the experts
are borne out the United States
in 1900 and 1901 will go to a high
rank among the gold producing
countries. The United States
has probably, when all it's gold
and silver mines are taken into
account, more of the precious
metals than any other country.
If the people of the down trodden
east don't want to go to Cape
Nome they can come to North
Dakota and Griggs county and
invest in farm, and if they will
work it properly in a few years
they will have asure enough gold
mine and will not have to under
go hardships and the risk of be-
ing disappointed in the end. Gold
mine hunting is q mere bagatelle
while quarter section of rich

The Minot Optic insists that
George B. Winship's ambition is
to be governor of North Dakota

one-that he possesses all the at
tainments necessary for such a

stumbling block in front of his
own door by himself that will
knock him out of ever receiving
the nomination. The Optic goes
on to say that the stumbling block
created by Mr.. Winship is his
attitute on referendum, direct
legislation, primary election law
and prohibition, /" and the Optic
says they are branches Of the
whitening tree of populism. The

planks mentioned in the republi-
can platform Of 1900. Any man

Dakota would poll the biggest

Why should native Hawaiians trust
Wilcox? In his first revolution he hid
in a gas tank while his dupes were be-
ing shot at and on his trial he escaped
justice by accusing the King. his ALL,
of being the real offender. In his second
revolution Wilcox always led the
fiinching and the running, finally land
ing himself and most of his followers
in jail. At Washington he put in his
time trying to get the Crown lands
away from the Queen so he could vest
their title in his own family. Back in
1898 he was the first deserter from Ii
liuokalanis cause. making an annexa-
ton speech in the Drill Shed and giving
the Provisional Government to under
stand that he would oppose restoration
II granted an office In return. Always
ready to betray his countrymen he
stands in Hawaiian politics as pro-
fessional Judas, grasping for his thirty
pieces OF silver at any cost to those
who trust him.
