Mandan lost the state fair and hardly
thinks it fair that VIXEN they started the
thing that they should be robbed of it.
And from Mandan stand point they are
right. But OF course for many years al
least Mandan will be too far from tn e
center of population and access to hold
anything but local fair. The tair goes
by compromise one year to Grand Forks
and the alternate year to Fargo. How
this will work we hardly know until we
see. At first sight it looks as though
each had a half pair of scissors. 1t
don't look as though it would put up
many permanent buildings. but perhaps
it may engender rivalry between the
cities that will make two blades of grass
grow where only one grew before.

again call peoples attention to this matter
but it has been the law for many years
The Pioneer Express has refused many
times in past years to announce the re-
suits of local gift enterprises and church
fairs for this reason. Almost every one
of the 'gitt" or guessing" prize
schemes gotten up by local merchants
are unlawful. Many of these are HARM
less, but in order to fix the law SO that it
cannot be evaded the statutes have been
made so strict that almost every kind of
scheme in which the element of chance
is part, is barred by the law.

Editor Sticklev of the Fessenden News
was away from home for a week and
when he came back he.had SIC, 900
libel suit OH hand and had to apologize
for couple more paragraphs the "devil'
had let in the paper while Stick was abb
sent. And yet some people think that
anybody could edit paper. By the way
we notice that our old time acquaintance
ofthis and of Cavalier county, H. B.
Doughty IS mixed up in the libel suit as
'saider and abetter" or Correspondent
Anyhow he informed on the writer OF
the libelous article for cunning blind
pig. 1t therefore looks like curious
snix-up at this distance-to those who
remember Doughty.

that it does give that oppe rtunity in not
o, of the pleasing features of primary
election law.
We might add that if the editor of
the Republican had kept tab on
Mr.. LaMoure's votes in the past years
he would find that the newspapers have
never had better friend in the legis-
lature-and that the only time the repub-
lican newspapers were ever paid for
printing the convention calls was when
VT. LaMoure was chairman of the ex-
eeutive committee.

"a NEWSPAPER GRAFT"

The passage of the Primary Election
Law SHOULD boom the newspaper bust
ness. Now that a candidates nonlin-
alton will depend so largely upon his
acquaintance with people-or at least
their acquaintance with hint will be
necessary for him to invoke the aid Of
the newspapers in bringing himself be-
fore the people and OF course that costs
money. And the candidate who can
spend the most money printing his
nictures in the most newspapers will
stand the best show Mandan Inde-

received an invitation from Governor
Terrell of Georgia, asking him to visit
Atlanta and make an address at the
Roosevelt Day ceremonies, on Friday,

with the presidents visit. Governor
Hayward was unable to say whether
he would be able to go to Atlanta,
though he Is anxious to do So, and II
the trip can be arranged he will take
advantage Of Governor Terrelps invita-
ton. It had been Governor Heywards
intention to meet the president In
Charlotte, but when he found that only
a brief stop would be made In that
city the idea was abandoned.

Charlotte Chronicle: The Yorkville
S. c., ENQUIRER notes that the manu-
featuring interests of Yorkville and
Clover are being seriously inconven-
fenced by the hold UP Of the pole lines
Of the Catawba Power company, some
farmers refusing the company the
right of way for its lines across theiI
lands. Every new enterprise finds
more or less opposition Of this kind
but the time will come when these
same farmers will run their threshers
corn cutters, churns, grindstones and
other farming and house utilities and
light their residences and barns by the
electric current furnished by this
company. Then they will wonder how
they could have made such fools Of
themselves as to have opposed the
putting up of the poles.
