HERE'S a pointer of what might be the
good fortune of Langdon people this
summer had the project to establish a
creamery been given the proper en-
couragement this spring. 1t is taken
from the jamestown Alert and repro
duced in hopes that before another year
rolls around Langdon may be sending
out big shipments of creamery butter:
1.-The first car of,butter shipped from
the jamestown creamery to Seattle went
out today. Its value was about $4,000
and the car contained about 500 tubs.
1t is expected that the creamery will
ship about two cars week during the
season which will mean payment to
farmers within radius of about IS
miles of between $4,000 and $4,000 a
week. The butter is collected from
the smaller creameries shipped into this
creamery, repacked and sent out to the
coast along with the surplus from this
creamery. There is demand for all
the butter that can be made and good
deal of it goes to the klondyke trade.
This is all new business, developed
within the last twelve months, and
speaks we'll for the growth of the butter
making in this locality

TUESDAY of this week was the one
hundred and twenty anniver-
sary of the adoption of our present flag
as the national ensign. On June IA,
1877, bill was passed by the Continen-
tai Congress which gave to us the
Stars and Stripes. That day was not
only an illustrious day in the history of
this nation but also of the world. The
principles enunciated SO clearly in our
Declaration of Independence, this flag
stands for and shall ever stand for.
More than any other flag on earth, our
flag has been blessing to mankind.
For over century and quarter it has
waved over us, proclaiming to all a
government wherein are equal rights for
all men and justice tempered with
mercy. 1t is now honored throughout
the earth not only as the ensign of a
powerful nation but more because of
what it means and the principles it
represents. It's natal day is milestone
in history and when June 14th comes
around next year, let everyone take
time to honor the birthday Of our
countey's ensign.

The Bathgate Pink Paper presen

The Bathgate Pink Paper presents
some ideas on the judicial situation in
this district and in commenting upon
the candidacy of the men who are seek
ing the judgeship Of the Seventh Judi
cial District says:
Report has it that Attorney Libby of
Park River has SHE'D his castor into
the ring and is making a canvas look
ing to his selection by the republicans.
This is the first intimation that there
was opposition to Judge Kneeshaw. 1t
was not long since that Mr.. Libby was
a candidate before the democratic con-
vention at Cavalier for Judge on that
ticket. He is little uncertain as to
party affiliations but is a good attorney
and hustler and may land the Walsh
county delegation. Cavalier county is
is more apt to have democratic than a
republican candidate for the position.
Here in Pembina county Judge Knee
shaw seems to have given satisfaction
.snd will doubtless have the support OF
his home county without request on his
part.

The annual teachers institute of

the necessity of regular attendance
throughout the entire week. The in
structors made a few Introductory re-
marks upon the nature of the work
which they wished to present.

a short talk on the correct use OF
language. DR.. Marsh gave some of his
experiences as teacher.
In the evening Prof. Squires of the
state university delivered lecture on
"American War Songs and Ballads to
large and enthusiastic audience.
By Tuesday the institute was fully

ception Of the afternoon when an i'm
promptu talk was given by Prof. r.

to the country that that section of the

labor, there being as many as five men
for every available job. Thousands OF
unemployed men are walking the streets

the most numerously represented among

NORTH DAKoTAs exhibit at the st.
Louis fair is severely criticised by
Editor Taylor of the LaMoure Chronicle
in his write up of the editorial excur.
sion to st. Louis in which he says:
North Dakota is deriving lot of adj
vertising of a decided unenviable sort
from the fact that it is the only one OF
the group of states embraced within the
Louisiana Purchase which does not
boast of a building of its own. South
Dakota, with an appropriation of only
$4,000 as against North Dakota 5
$4,000, owns one of the neatest build
ings on the grounds. 1t is small, com
pared with many of the others, but its
interior decorations are charming and
unique, and, it affords natural rem
devious and comfortable resting place
for the South Dakota visitors. Our
party was somewhat Inundated as we'll
as gratifed by the cordial welcome ex-
tended us by the South Dakotans and
their profuse invitations to make our
selves at home with them-''since you
have no building of your own" More
will be heard of this anon.

OUR CONVENTION SYSTEM.

If there is any peculiarly American
institution, it is the nominating conven-
ton. The national gatherings so soon
to convene are different from anything
on the earth. They are growth of q
new idea in the New World. The past
knew nothing resembling them, and
even now they are unknown in the Old
World. In the United Kingdom the
prime minister is never chosen by a
party convention. The king selects for
the position the leader of the party
dominant in the house of commons.
This leadership is the natural outcome
of long service on the part of member
who has proven himself man of execu-
tive ability. The president of France
Is elected by the senate and chamber of
deputies. The British colonies have
adopted the English scheme in prefer
ence to the American.
The convention system is an inven-
ton rather than a natural product of
evolution. 1t was stumbled on by acct
dent in Pennsylvania. was adopted in
New York and then spread over the
country. 1t is one of the American in
stitutions not inherited from England
or devised by the trainers of the consti-
tuition. 1t was in 1892 that the first ma
tional convention was held. Twenty
four years previously the dominant
party in Pennsylvania had called a
legislative caucus to nominate candi-
date for governor. Its opponents had
also called a caucus. but to make up
for deficiencies in representation in the
legislature the "Outs" invited their sup.
porters in unrepresented counties to
send delegates to the convention" The
two factions were called ''Constitution
alists" and "Conventionalists. This
was the first nominating convention ever
held IN America. New York and Other
states took up the scheme and elabora
ted it. By 1924 the democrats of Ian
caster county, Pennsylvania, suggested
in resolution that presidential nomina
tions ought to be made by "a conven
ton of delegates from all states in the
union" The difficulties in transporta
ton were disappearing with the con
struction of railroad lines, so that by
1882 the convention was held success
fully. The advantages of the inuova
ton were so apparent that it was at once
accepted. Since 1886 every presiden
tial candidate has been nominated by {
national convention. Certain details Of
the scheme of representation have beer
altered, but the essential principles o.
the system remain the same as those
adopted seventy-two years ago.

stock are being taken up by farmers all

animals on their places have proper
construction of the law as to their posi-
