the meritorious acts of Col. Little for
Bismarck and Burleigh county would
be- a waste of space and time. The
voters Of this county know that he
has been an active and loyal member
of the senate-an untiring worker for
the capital city and this county. He
has been true to himself and to his
people. The new magnificent fireproof
addition to the state capitol building
is only one of many measures, the
passage of which is due to Mr.. Little's
influence and persistency, and the de.
velopment of that great industry of
Irvine making at the penitentiary-the
watch dog on the price of binding
Irvine for the farmers of this state
and scores of measures of local as
we'll as general application and benefit
attest the fact that Col. Little is
worthy the confidence reposed in him
and entitled to an endorsement from
this people.

One of the strongest arguments
urged in favor of the selection of Mr..
Vigness, man, for superintendent of
schools in this county is the business
side of the duties of the office. AS
rule women make good school teachers
but it is a rare exception that a woman
is placed in position requiring great
executive and business Judgment.
Thus it is that the principals of schools
generally are men, Matters of bonds,
the regularity of their issue, the build
ing Of school houses and the systems
of accounts, etc.-the business end of
the superintendent office REQUIRES
executive ability, and the great dis
tances to be travelled in looking after
the interests of the various school cor
porations in the county make the posi-
ton of superintendent of schools more
in harmony with the selection of a
man than a woman for this position,
no matter how we'll qualified as a
teacher woman may be. During the
winter season and stormy periods of
the year the trips over this county re-
quired Of county superintendent, are
indeed trying even to a man of the
most robust health and entirely too
severe for a woman. ~. ~. -

1t is a curious fact that in three
judicial districts of this state the can
didates on the democratic ticket for
the judiciary-each having first sought
nomination on the republican ticket
and failed-are now urging their own
candidacy on the plea that "the
Judiciary should be taken out of
politics." 1t is also a coincidence that
each of these three misunderstanding
Glaspell of jamestown, Judge Lauder
of Wahpeton, and Judge Palda of
Minot were democrats before they &C
cepted judicial positions at the hands
of the republican party. They have
simply Switched again" in this cam
paign. Each of those gentlemen
sought nomination on the republican
ticket this year. Each failed. Each
then Topped to the democracy
Lauder in the 4th judicial district, was
running democratic newspaper in
the state of Wisconsin, when he de-
cided to come to North Dakota in $780,
The first crucial test that was ever
imposed upon Lauder came in 1896.
1t is we'll known fact that, although
occupying a judicial position at the
time and not expected to take an &C.
tive part in politics, he did, in spite
of his position, come out as a pro-
nounced free silverite and voted for
Bryan in that campaign. >. Mr.. Lauder
has generally opposed republican poll
cies and only affialiated with that
party as matter of policy and to Sc
cure a lucrative position. Just as
soon as he failed Of nomination in the
republican convention he took an ac-
tive part with democrats in his dis
trict, and has since openly supported
them. Mr.. Glaspell was a free trade
democrat in Davenport, Iowa, at the
time he came to North Dakota in the
early eighties. He has always been a
free trade advocate, and is at the
present time, and even when a candi-
date for Office on the Stutsman county
republican ticket, he refused to make
republican campaign speeches because
of his free trade ideas. He has en-
couraged the establishment during this
campaign of three democratic newspa-
pers in his district. Mr.. Palda in the
9Th district was an out and out demo-
crat when he was appointed. To give
tone to his case. is should be mention
ed that he has edited small book on
! socialism. Mr.. Palda has never, ex-
| cept for office. pretended to be a re-
publican. Each one of these men is
| now running on the democratic ticket
for the Office of district judge, telling
| the people that the judiciary should
be kept out of politics and should be
made non-partisan-a cry always made
by democrat in republican district

as Tar as they can to prevent excuses
They unquestionably wish an active,
strong and sustained market for some
time to come. In this desire lies the
chief present strength of the situation.
AS the market advances, however, the
risk Of reaction increases, and the de-
clines OF the last few days will do
more to improve the situation and al
lay feverishness than anything else.
From now on speculative operations
will have to be conducted with in
creasing caution, and purchases should
only be made on pronounced declines.
The market Is likely to be particularly
sensitive to the Anglo Russian EN-
tanglement; although q peaceful ad.
justment can confidently be relied
upon. ,sss II

Oil Wells in Mid Lake.

Lake Mercer, otherwise known as
Grand Reservoir, located In the
central western portion Of Ohio. Is
again filled with water, after lor e
period of dryness. This lake is sti !
the scene of active oil operations.
Ten or fifteen years ago when the
developments all around the lake
pointed to the probability that 1t
covered good oil territory, many
efforts were made by the different oil
companies to obtain leases from the
State that would permit them to
operate the territory there.
At that time the State would not
lease after the popular methods Of
leasing oil territory, but made en-
estimate of $50 an acre for the terri
tory and then made rental of 6 per
cent, per annnm, amounting to 50 per
acre, no rental to be given for le' s
than ten years. This would have
made the territory pretty expensive,
counting all the unproductive port
ions, for the reason that such territory
could not be abandoned, so far as tn
rental was concerned, short Of tel
years. But in this country we art
safe in saying that there is Yankee
somewhere who is equal to the emer.
gency, whatever it may be. and, SURF
enough, he hobs up serenely in this
case, and this is what he did: In.
stead of leasing the territory after
| The good. old fashioned way, he find
| a Door OLD fisherman who is scarcely
worth three pounds of dried herring
and secures the ten years lease in
his name, He is then able to suitcase
from him on terms that will permit
the holding Of all valuable territory
and dropping unproductiye, and the
State looks to the poor fisherman for
its SO per acre to the end of the ten
years; and said fisherman is to have
one. twentieth of the oil for the use
