The socialist club is the very latest
thing for Glendale. It is organized
with Steve Jones as president and N.
n. Bjornsted as secretary, and re-
gular meetings will be held with the
idea of getting new members and
disseminating proper literature.
What strength the new party will
develop in this county is yet an un-
known quantity, but it is we'll known
that the old-line populists are tired
of casting about in the sea of demo-
cracy and are looking for new
harbor Of relief. 1t is believed the
socialist party will meet the ends of
the RESTLESS" until their hopes are
again dashed to pieces, and some
wise head promulgates a rehash of
old ideas with mixture of the
spicier new. Only 3 handful of
votes was cast for the socialist party
in Dickey county two years ago, but,
those who claim to know are of the
opinion the socialist vote this year
will be felt. The democracy, with
its recent-year custom, will un-
doubtedly toy with the newborn
party-to it's complete ruin and
annihilation. Every party with
which the democrats has been asso-
ciated for the sake of political gain
has fallen, and now rests in obscure
graves in the political cemetery.

fence. Marshall and Spalding do
credit to North Dakota. There is
evidence of vigor aud industry about
the North Dakotans in Washington.
They are evidently here for work and
are doing their duty with energy ana
intelligence. While the bee may be
buzzing in the political bonnets of
individuals IN North Dakota for con-
gressional or senatorial honors, a trip
to the National Capitol would con-
vince them, as viewed in patriotic
spirit, chat we are we'll represented
and that fair measure of reward is
due for faithful service.
THE BEST THAT EVER HAPPENED.
Litchville Bulletin: 1t is the
general concensus of opinion among
the people Of North Dakota, that
while some changes are much needed
in the Washington delegation, there
will be no change so far as Thomas
Marshall is concerned. He is far ard
above any western congressman in
hustling ability and at Washington
as we'll as at home he is known as the
congressman who does things" Be-
sides those states that return worthy
members of congress term after term
are the states that obtain great
benefits, because it takes years Tor
man to get acquainted with all the
devious methods of national legisla-
tion. Then too, as a man grows old
in congressional experience he be-
comes leader of men and member
of great influence. Thomas Marshall
has now reached point where each
succeeding year in congress adds to
his influence and to the credit of
North Dakota. It is therefore pleas
ing to the people, who are not in
politics for the amount of plunder
they can extort, to commend one of
the very best congressman that ever
happened and to applaud the evid-
ent intention of continuing him there.
ENDORSED FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington correspondence in
Grand Forks Herald: If either
member of the North Dakota delega-
tion should be refused renomina-
tion by his constituents this year, it
would be years before his successor
could hope to get back on the com.
mittees on which both Congressman
Marshall and Spalding are now serv-
ing. I am not attempting to advo.
cate the denomination OF either man,
but I am attempting to point out to
the people of the state, thru he
MEDIUM of The Herald, the advan-
tages that will come to them by
maintaining their present representa-
tives in congress. Both Congress-
mon Marshall and Spalding are men
of far more than ordinary ability,
and their abilities have been recog-
nized by the leaders of the house.
Coupled with their ma tural ability is
the further fact that both men are
we'll known to be men of provity and
honor. This is indispensable to the
success of q man in the house. If it
is known by his fellow congressman
that he will not support measures in
committees and on the floor of the
house that are not meritorious, his
advocacy of any proposition carries
great weight with it. The advan-
tages that result to state by main
tanning it's representatives in con-
gress for years have been recognized
by the eastern and southern states,
where delegations have been kept
intact for as many as twenty years
without q single change.

PORTER FOR GOVERNOR.

Fargo Politician: Drifting straws
before the political winds indicate
that the present governor, White,

secure the nomination of Mr.. Porter

Jud LaMoure and other leading

TIE RRITISH DEMANDS.

The tragic incident in the North Sea primarily
concerns Great Britain and Russia. Those two
countries may safely be left 10 settle fl between
themselves. and we may confidently expect they
will settle 1t in a satisfactory manner. All
other maritime nations however have a strong
and legitimate secondary interest in It and In
the manner and purport of the settlement which
shall be effected. That is because these nations
also bave ships at which may happen TO

face Of the case nj the outset they might have
regarded the sailing Of that feet with equanim-
ity. If not with Indifference. and for them to
have demanded any special guarantees for its
conduct might have seemed superfuous il not
impertinent. But after what has happened in
the North Sea they fully entitled to ask
for some guarantee that that atrOcious perform
ance will not be repeated whenever their ships
are encountered
In making her demands upon Russia there

the spokesman of the world. Just as America
would be If it had been some Of her ships the

been had there been any Of them in those

British vessels as an earnest OF her possible and

New-York tribune., 1904-10-27

The unworthy and disingenuOus sneer thaI
the Presidents promise TO call another peace
congress was meant for campaign purposes
only Is amply refuted When the president
proInise or announcement, was made TO the
Interparliamentary Union no date for its fulhi-
ment WAS SET or even limited at, and there was
n general supposition that the actual issuing OF
the invitations might be deferred until next
,oar A DELAY OF several months would not
have seemed too great. But the president was
more In earnest than he was on all hands
credited with being. Only month has elapsed
and already the invitations are on their way TO
the powers Of the world.
There seems little ground for the other criti-
cisnl-that il is inopportune to call for peace in
the midst of a great war. The wisest OF all
philosophers ages ago reminded the world that
il is not the well who need physician, but
they who are sick A peace congress now might
not nut a stop TO the war. 1t would almost GER
tainly exert a considerable influence toward
ameliorating the passions which that war is en-
gendering in other nations, toward preventing
the extension of hOstilities among other powers
and even toward lessening the horrors of the
war itself. Another consideration which would
seem to make 1t particularly timely is that
some of the international issues which this war
has raised are susceptible of most profitable
discussion and disposition at the very moment
when they are freshest in mind. The questions
Of contraband. the treatment of prizes, the use
of mines and aerial batteries. the use OF wire
less telegraphy and other matters could not be
studied and passed upon at any time TO better
advantage than now. Even if it We're agreed
in advance that no determination Of the CON
gress should apply to this war. which was begun
before the congress was called, the object les
sons of the war would be of inestimable value
to the congress and would greatly facilitate the
making of equitable and humane rules for fut-
ure wars
That however, is for the nations 10 determine.
The President makes II sufficiently plain that
America. for one. is in favor of holding the con-
gress without waiting for the return of universal
peace He does not. however. assume TO i'm
pose that view upon others. He leaves it TO
them 10 indicate their various preferences as to
time ana place He takes the initiative, but
does not dictate He has thus discharged his
and his cOuntry's whole duty. and leaves with
the powers addressed the responsibility OF de-
teTmining whether the opportunity he has ere
ated shall or shall not be improved Concern
ing their decision there should be little doubt
a disinterested call for peace Is something no
nation can well afford 10 slight
