liking the chambers of the Judge of the
district. By the terms of the first act
making the Seventh Judicial. District
Grafton was made the place-and the
only place--for the hold ng of court in
chambers. The change In the law re-
ferred to by the Gazette did not remove
the chambers Ito the extreme corner of
Pembina county," but compelled the
Judge to hold chambers at least once a
month at the county seats of each of the
counties in the district. The Gazette
says this new arrangement causes a
great amount Of inconvenience and de.
lays in the transaction Of legal business"
What the Gazette really means to say, is
that whereas heretofore everybody who
had business at court in chambers neces-
sari'y had to go to Grafton and pay ho-
tel ana similar bills there, now has the
opportunity TO attend court at the county
seats OF his own county, or. what is yet
more convenient, can by arrangement
with the judge go to any one of the three
towns that best suits his convenience.
The original law was framed with two
ideas-one, that everybody IN the three
counties should he compelled to 90 to
Grafton, as We have stated, and also to
thus compel the presiding Judge to live
in Grafton. Judge Kneeshaw has pre-
ferred to live among the people with
whom he has been neighbors and friends
for many wears and to. whom primarily
he mas owed his political and judicial
preference. That is what is the matter
with Grafton. They wanted to make it
almost impossible Tor lawyer outside
OF Grafton to be candidate and if such
was successful candidate then compel
him to move there. IfJudge Kneeshaw
had moved to Grafton at the beginning
OF his term there would be no opposition
to him now in that courtyard as + SIS,
there wilrbe little outside OF Grafton.
On the judicial platform" as given by
the Gazette, how should you vote on
this question, Mr.. Pembina County Dem
ocrat? 1t would be poor rule that
would not work both ways when it
comes to locality. Should particularly
appeal to the voters of Pembina county,
irrespective of political faith"

AN AWFUL BLuNpER

The act of the Russian fleet in firing
at the British fishing vessels in the Eng
iish Channel on Sunday last, by which one
tlshing vessel was sunk and several men
Killed, while undoubtedly some kind of
horrible mistake, is almost impossible of
explanation to a sailor. The fishing fleet
1t seems was composed of many vessels,
perhaps hundredor so, equipped with
steam power and under the command of
All admiral" This admiral had lust
been signaling his fisherman as. to the
disposition of their vessels during the
night while fishing, and had in this sig
nallng been displaying colored lights;
ihis Is rather an unusual occurrence
among vessels other than men-of.war.
ana this seems to have frightened the
Russian captains into the belief that
these fishing vessels were Japanese tor
pedo boats and then they let 90 a. them
with the deplorable results.
On the other hand, the Russian fleet
had previous to the firing turned their
search lights on the fishing fleet as they
had passed and should have known at
once whatthese1vessels were and what
their business by theirappearance. Sail
o 9 know ships justine same as farmers
know horses or cattle. When ships meet
each other at sea they know. by the
build, rig and generp appearance pretty
mnchlall they may latersfnd odtsby inter

The sailor would no more mistake a
fishermen for torpedo boat than far

"a HAPPY HoME.n

Col. Grant S. Hager has recently been
appointed by Governor White member
OF the board of trustees of the state home
for the feeble minded One of the Colo
nePs first official acts should be to see to
it that Deacon Wardwell is assigned
comfortable quarters in the Grafton
home.-Happy Hooligan of the Chrome
type.
We were half inclined to get real mad
at H. H. for his unkind and as we
thought undeserved insinuation, but
when we read the following in the Ham
ilton Independent, we realized that after
all Br'er Hooligan was speaking from
personal experience in the newspaper
business and was thinking OF himself as
we'll as ofus. The Independent para
graph evidently means H. H. because he
was raised OH all Indian reservot ton and
was recently at st. LOUIS.
1T is told of an Indian Territory editor
that he visited an insane asylum while in
st. Louis recently, and was mistaken by
a lunatlc Tor Il fellow sufferer just arrived.
Becoming Confidential, the inmate asked
the editor what made him go crazy, and
to humor him the editor replied, "Try-
ing to make money out of the newspaper
business" "Rats," said the lunatic,
You're not crazy; you're just d-m
fool"
We make just one appeal to Trustee
Hager, and that is, that he put his twin
brother Happy in the wing farthest from
the comfortable quarters" SO kindly as
signed US. Just for the sake of peace
in our Happy home.

seems very strange.
If there were any Japanese fleet on the
coast Of Europe how long could they
keep concealed? If they were there
where could they have come from with
out discovery? Certainly not from Japan.
If there were such fleet in existence,
Russia would have been promptly in
formed of the fact by the daily papers,
even if they could not find it out for
themselves.
From sailors standpoint, from pres.
ent information it seems to have been the
biggest fool blunder ever perpetrated by
men who have worn a naval officers uni
form.
