The United States supreme
court Monday denied the applica-
ton Of Alex Mckenzie for leave to
file q petition for a writ Of habeas
corpus. The decision Of the court
is based on the ground that the
habeas corpus proceeding cannot
be made a basis Of proceeding in
error. This action will give the
triumverate of ghouls Phelan,
Morrell and Mofett-an oppor-
tunity to hold another caucus and
gloat.
w. M. Buswell in Fargo Forum:
I have great respect for Alex
Mckenzie. I have kept close
watch on the proceedings and re-
ports and I feel that he is perse-
cuted. There were two courts
an order from one-a different
order from the other-to obey
either, was to disobey the other.
Contempt followed, and I have my
contempt also-for the order Of
the court that seeks to injure and
does jeopardize the liberty of one
of the best and foremost citizens
of North Dakota.
Special Agent Lounsberry warns 8
settlers that an occasional visit to
a homestead claim does not consti-
tute residence and does not entitle
persons holding claims in that
way to make proof at the end of
fourteen months. Men or women
holding positions which would
make it impossible to reside on
the claim as required by law, can
not justify themselves on the
ground that they have done as we'll
as they could. If they cannot re-
side upon their claims as required
by law, and know they cannot
when they make them, their en-
tries are in bad faith from the be-
ginning. Persons who have
actually established residence on
their claims, and are living there
on, making it their actual home,
are not barred from seeking or &C.
cepting employment and can be
absent for this purpose not ex-
ceeding six months, and if sick
ness then comes upon or if they
have lost their crops leave of
absence may be obtained. But
those who have made a pretended
residence, only, are not entitled to
leave of absence.

ton among the newspapers of the

The newspaper man. or some unknown
writer connected with the press, frequently
writes the speech, frames the argument, or
composes the able article that makes or keeps
the politician OF reputed statesman famous,
and establishes reputation for wisdom often
strangely at variance with his public acts or

The law just passed at Bismarck
requiring notaries public to attach
