Some of the southern states that
have repudiated their bonds issued
many years ago have met with hard
proposition in the shape of recent
decision of the United States supreme
court to the effect that the southern
states must consider such obligations
just ones. A New York capitalist
who brought several thousand dollars
worth OF the bonds of North Carolina
and who could never collect a cent be-
cause private individual was not al
lowed to sue the State. made the State
OF South Dakota a gift of several of
the bonds and said that if the state
would undertake to collect the value
OF the repudiated paper that he would
make his gift still bigger. provided
that the sum realized from the bonds
should be used for charitable and
educational purposes by the state.
The test was made by South Dakota
in the courts and the supreme court
decided that North Carolina would
have to pay the amount of the bonds.
This decision will probably affect
many of tue southern states. The rul-
ing is just and proper. A state is no
more nor less than an organization of
private individuals for the purpose of
maintaining a civil status, and if it
is wrong for a private individual to
repudiate his debts it is equally as
wrong for state to-. A state should
think just as much of its credit as any
private individual.

The State Ticket,

Robert G. Dunn is not a. great
statesman, a learned jurist or an &C.
complished scholar. But he is never.
theless one Of the most deserving and
most popular candidates for governor
ever presented to the people of the
State. He is strong with the plain
people of the State for the same rea-
son that he was strong with the con-
vention which represented them. For
he is one Of them himself-a plain
man of the plain people, whose sturdy,
native common sense and rugged hon
esty and firmness of character and
purpose united with a large and intel
ligent public spirit and a keen and
comprehensive capacity for public
affairs made his administration of the
Office of State auditor a memorable
epoch of progress and reform in the
history of the State, and when his
connection with that Office ceased,
lifted him, by reason largely of his
record there, high above any other
candidate in public favor for the
highest Office of the State. He will
probably receive the largest vote in
November ever given to a candidate
for governor in this State. and that
is saying good deal. His associates
on the ticket merit in the main the
highest communication. Lieut.. Gov
Ray w. Jones, Secretary of State
Peter E. Hanson and State Treasurer
Julius Fl. Block had already served
the State SO acceptably in those Offices
that their denomination was matter
of course. E. T. Young of Appleton,
the successful candidate for attorney
general. has a reputation for ability
which warranted his selection for
that important Office. Two only of
the four justices of the supreme court
were renominated-Judge Brown of
Morris and Judge Lewis of Duluth.
Just how it happened that Judge
Lovely, who was supposed to be par
ticularly strong, failed of nomination
is not clear-except that he did not
have votes enough for the purpose.
Judge Douglas turned out to be much
less popular as a judge than he had
been as attorney general. The sue
cessful candidates in place of these
two, Charles B. Elliott of Minneapo-
lis and Edwin A. Jaggard of St. Paul,
will add strength to the supreme
bench. The denomination of Ira B.

meritorious public service. The nomi-

In an editorial in it's issue just prior
to the converting Of the Republican
State convention the MINNEAPOLIS
Journal in speaking of the results of
that convention said:
What the outcome will be must
be settled by the delegates them
selves when they get together and
the roll is called. The result can
not be safely forecast at this time.
The Journal for once spoke cor
rectly. It realized that the delegates
to that convention would settle the
outcome themselves, and they did and
they did without the vote of Hennepin
county. Now that the State conven-
ton has met, nominated ticket and
adjourned, any criticism of the &C
tions Of that convention is to question
the judgment of an overwhelming ma
jority of the delegates to the conven-
tion-men of all trades, professions
and callings from all parts of the
State, whose combined Judgment ought
to be as good as the judgment of any
one individual or set of individuals.
The Minneapolis Journal may be lily
white and is at liberty to bolt as often
as the conscience Of it's inner self may
seem to dictate, but in the meantime
the Republican party of Minnesota

The plan of having Fourth of July
celebration with the intersection of the
main streets as the hub is supreme
farce and humbug, and in the future
if Princeton intends to celebrate it
is to be hoped that those having the
celebration in charge will have enough
regard for the comfort and pleasure of
those coming to join in the celebra-
ton to make provisions for the exer-
cises and at least part of the attrac-
tions at some place where better &C.
cOmmodations can be furnished. If
Princeton has reached a stage in it's
development where Fourth Of July eel
ebratiOns are to be held for revenue
only then let's quit celebrating or turn
over a new leaf.

gloom that has settled on the Mime
sofa Democracy as one result of Fri
days convention Pioneer Press.
Robert G. Dunn of Princeton was
nominated for governor Friday even
ing by the Republican State conven-
ton. The action of the convention
was unanimous, and heartily endorsed
by the Collins and Eddy supporters,
who had been fairly and decisively de-
feated. The victory of Dunn is hon
estly and Loyalty accepted by those
who supported others. The entire
ticket is an excellent one, and will
have the hearty support of Republi-
cans. 1t is especially satisfactory to
people of northern Minnesota, and will
receive the largest majority ever given
a ticket in the State.-Little Falls
Transcript.
The feature of the campaign was the
great natural popularity of Robert c..
Dunn. The forces that were brought
to bear against him were tremendous.
and the demonstration of his ability
to win without the support of the great
cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis
astounded the Oldest politicians on
both sides. In Mr.. Dunn the News
Tribune sees a man of tried integrity.
OF exceptional executive capacity, and
OF deep sympathy with the masses of
the people. His triumphant election
is foregone conclusion. and the pub
lie is warranted in expecting from him
an administration Of State affairs the
equal OF the best Minnesota has had
in the forty-six years of her existence.
Duluth News-Tribune.
The nomination of Mr.. Dunn will
be highly pleasing to the northern
part OF the State particularly, while
the votes he received from other Sec
tons where the Collins strength was
supposed to be greatest, showed that
his popularity extends throughout the
State. Mr.. Dunn, while State auditor.
gained the respect of the people of
Duluth by his sturdy opposition to
various measures aimed at the pros
perity OF this city, and his firm stand
against the attempt to deprive Duluth
OF the benefits of vessel registration
at this port was largely responsible
for the splendid showing his friends
made at the primary caucuses here.
Mr.. Dunn is in many respects we'll
equipped to make an excellent cover
nor. It is charged against him that
he is too impulsive and at times hot
headed, but his rugged honesty and
open and fair dealing more than
counter balances any such defects in
his nature. The denomination OF
Judge Charles L. Lewis of the supreme
court is very pleasing to st. Louis
county, and the addition of Judge
Elliott, of Minneapolis, and Judge
Jaggard of St. Paul, to that court
will strengthen it greatly.-Duluth

Princeton's Fourth was somewhat
telescoped by the State convention

program of arrangements in charge
were absent a few days before the
Fourth and there was little time after
returning to complete many of the de-
tails. The celebration was not what
it should have been, and the I'm on
feels like apologizing for the sins of
omission on the part of Princeton.
There was a good crowd present from
the country but they were very poorly
entertained indeed. We can safely
promise on the part of Princeton to
make good at the next celebration.

to deliver nice non-butting nannies
anywhere in the city. The goats will
be Grated and shipped right to the

all the consignee will have to do will
be to milk her goatship. The goat
will have a send-me-back tag and will
be returned to the green fields and
pastures new to get another supply of
milk. Great scheme.

THE WONDERFUL GOOSE RIVER COUNTRY
a County, North Dakota the Faot Traders
Called the District of the Northwest.

In the days Of the old Hudson Bay
companys trading posts over the
Northwest there was no territory in
the Red river valley which in their
opinion was So fertile, productive and
we'll worth owning as the Goose river
country, now embraced in Trail coun-
ty, North Dakota, and the old opinion
of those early pioneers in the North
west has been fully substantiated by
the further development of the coun-
try. Nowhere in the entire Red river
valley can there be found territory
which so richly returns to the tiller Of
the soil a magnificent profit Of his la
Dor as does Trail county.
Trail county was organized June II.
1895. A large majority of the county
are Scandinavians. Those sturdy sons
Of the North whose thrift, enterprise
and honesty has been SO well demon
strated throughout the Northwest, and
whose natural characteristics are writ
ten in history. There are some COM
munities in which the inhabitants to
a major degree are of German descent,
while there are not a few American
born citizens.
Prosperity reigns in Trail county.

mortgage companies, and there are a
very small number of homes which
bear any mortgage at all.
The richness of the agricultural soil
of Trail county is clearly shown by
the condition of the county banks at
Hillsboro, whose aggregate deposits
are at the present time in excess of
100000. This in a purely agricultural
district, is surely good showing.
Trail county is one of the best coun-
ties in the Red river valley. 1t is wa
tered through its central and western
sections by the Goose river, with its
several tributaries. and in the north
ern tier of townships by the Elm river
and its branches. The eastern boun-
Diary of the county is formed by the
Red River of the North. There are
about 10000 acres of land in the coun-
ty along the banks of the streams and
the banks of the GTande Coulee. The
soil is rich, deep black loan, formed
from calcareous and vegetable depos-
it's, heavily charged with lime carbon
ates and phosphates mixed with clay
and siliceous sands; friable as ashes
when dry, adhesive and slippery when
Wet The subsoil is of clay, which
renders the ground particularly adapt
ed to withstanding long dry spells.
The clay holds the moisture, giving
it up to the growing crops as drawn
up from its roots, hence crop failures
are a rarity not known.
The southern part Of the county
early became the paradise of the bO-
nanza farmer. The northern part be-
ing outside of the railroad limits was
nearly all taken up by homestead set

where everything raised finds a ready
market at good prices; the Great
Northern railroad traverses the county
from the southeast to the northwest,
and has another line surveyed in the
southwest corner and which will be
built this year, thus affording excellent
freight, passenger and mail service. 1t
has seven railroad stations, each Of
which has large grain elevators, fur
nishing ample storage room for all the
grain offered for sale, besides having
extensive loading platforms for the
accommodation of farmers who wish
to ship their own grain.
Land can be bought for a less price
than a single years crop will bring
and it is needless to figure out to an
intelligent person where he would be
at if he had foresight enough to get
hold of some of this land while it is
still cheap. Land has risen from
practically no value at all to
its present price in the past twelve
years, and compared to prices in Iowa
and Southern Minnesota it is almost
like getting it for nothing. especially
in view of the fact that its productive
ness is far ahead of these localities,
where land is selling from $50 to $50
per acre.
Langdon, the county seat of Cava-
1ier county, is city of over / 800 in
habitants. and is situated in the CEN
ter of the county. 1t has q public
school system equaled by none: owns
an electric light plant, and is a thor
oughly wide-awake place in every re-
spect. The buildings erected in the
past year exceeded 100000 in value,
and the outlook for this year is that
the above figure will be exceeded by
many thousands. An opera house cost
ing $4,000 is under way. and three
church buildings aggFegating $3e.O99
are about to be started, besides nu-
mero0s business blocks and residences.
