The Fargo Forum says there is a
growing tendency in favor of max
ing all county officers limited by law
to two terms, as the reasons for not
doing so in the sparsely settled
counties are now disappearing.
Heretofore in some of the counties
it was difficult to get good material
for states attorney and other officers
where special training was neces-
sary, but with the filling up Of the
state there are plenty of attorneys
to fill the Offices, in turn, and the
two term principle is what the peo-
pie approve. Stutsman county has
made a move in that direction that
has attracted attention all over the
state.

Senator McCumber's speech on
grain inspection made the elevator
companies squirm. They sent a
request to Senator Nelson, of Min
nesota, to refute the statements
made by McCumber. He replied
that he would be glad to do SO if
the elevator companies would pro-
duce the facts under oath. At the
present writing they have failed to
show up wherein Senator McCum-
Der was wrong. What the farmers
want is that the Senator will push
the bill through at this session.

It is said that the physicians of
New York are interested in a case
where a woman has laughed con-
tinuously for two weeks and can
not control her mirth. She has
probably been watching the ANTICS

session of congress trying to raise
an issue, and the frantic antics of
the Flicker to boost Willie Hearst.

A church in Chicago recently re-
fused a legacy of $4,000 because
the man who left the bequest was
burned to death in the Iroquois
theater fire. The church has no
hesitancy in accepting the millions
from Rockefellow, but just because
a man was burned to death in a
theater, they hold up their hands
in horror and say that money Sc
cured that way is tainted with the
hands of the evil one.
