Deaf School
Des yes Hell,

Wells County News: The
school for the deaf at Devils
Lake is overcrowded, and is
seriously in need Of assistance
from the state. Such an insti-
tuition is one of the noblest crea-
tions Of our state government
while nothing definite along
that line has been suggested, it
is conceded that whatever Pro-
.fessor Ladd asks he will get in
the way Of legislation. Z
The state institutions are over
crowded, and some action on
them will have to be taken.
Just what is best to do, nobody
seems to know, but it is evident
that some action will be taken
which will relieve the present
congested condi ditien and avoid a
repetition Of the same hereafter.
About the lobbies one hears all
sorts Of irrigation talk, but wher,
sifted down, the cons Dseryative
men in both houses are in favor
Of doing that which will assist
in carrying out the provision of
the national irrigation laws.
Whatever laws, if any are pass
ed will be supp emented to that
measure.

His ASS atiOls
Have Been Good

Il, Mike lie Bere, the brilliant
Sheldon Progress editor, who by
the way is a pretty good Episco-
palian, has this to say of the ap-
pointment Of Chaplain Jones:
z Probably the quickest politi-
cal trick ever turned in North
Dakota was that Of the Rev. O.
f. Jones, the divine who has
just been transferred from
Devils Lake to Bismarck. Mr..
Jones reached the capital. Satur-
day night, got his picture in the
paper Sunday morning and at
the senate caucus Sunday after
noon connected with the pay roll
as chaplain of the upper house,
charged to Burleigh county. He
has winning ways that got the
Devils Lake editors on his staff
and can reform the senate if
such a thing is possible. The
Progress will not be a bit sur
prised to hear Of Jud LaMoure
singing in the choir and Colonel
Little reading the lesson. :

The legislature has taken a
step in the great fight now being
made by Senator Hans5roug to
protect the wheat growers Of the
northwest against the ,lirfloly
comb bination Of t he Minneapolis

against the granting of an Iap-
plication made to the treasury
department BY the Millers as
sociation for a ruling under
which foreign grown wheat may
be imported in bond under the
provisions Of the Dingley tariff
act. The resolution firmly pro-
tests. against the granting Of this
application Of the millers Of the
