The Heir to the HoOrall.

Miss Nora O'Brien, the leading lady
of THE Heir to the Hoorah," is a
young actress of Irish-American par
entage who has advanced rapidly in
the profession during the brief three
years that she has been on the stage
Miss O'Brien was born in Baltimore
where her people occupy a prominnt
position in church and social circles
She was educated at the Sisters
schools in Baltimore and afterwards,
at the Convent of the Sacred Heart in
Montreal. She received the finishing
education which in great measure
fitted her for the literary and artistic
career she took up shortly after leav-
ing school. Miss O'Brien's first nota-
BILE success was made with Viola Allen
in the elaborate production of Shakes
pears comedy. Twelfth Night" in
which Miss Allen toured the principal
cities of the east. Later she played
in drama called "St. Anne's" by Paul
Armstrong, the author of The Heir
to the Hoorah." in which Miss O'Brien
comes to the metropolitan in the sup
port of Guy Bates Post.

The Real Meaning OF "Nachlne.'

Bismarck Tribune: The Herald of
Sunday, in it's accustomed lugbrious
vein, dilates upon the dreadful condi-
tons that shall come to pass il the
machine" is not at once curbed and
driven into the Winship garage for
overhauling and repair. The Herald,
as usual. is throwing dust in the hope
OF deceiving some of it's readers into
the belief that the machine in this
state differs from that in other states,
and in this state where the real truth
is appreciated, is known as organiza-
ton. The Herald makes use of the
word machine" because it would have
its readers believe that there is some
thing sinister and menacing in the
word. Just how any political party
is to be maintained without an organ
ization the Herald should be good
enought to explain. The Harald's COM
ments upon the machine" is in con-
nection with meeting at Grand Forks
for the organization of self-styled
good government league" Now

or of any other kind of league" in
any state or county has for it's end on

machine" in the mouth of its critics.
1t is necessary to the maintenance of
a political party of whatever name
or nature that there shall be central
organization and that this central or
ganization shall have subordinate or
CARNATIONS through the different polit-
ical subdivisions of state or of
nation. The republican national
organization is machine" as
much as the republican state organ
iZation. And If the elements in con-
troll of an organization would be still
not less than machine" In the DAYS
of free silver agitation it was Gus
tomary for the silver orators to paint
gold as huge and dreadful dragon
devouring whatever it came across,
and silver was pictured as fair and
radiant maiden being attacked and de-
voured by the Ubiquitous golden mon
ster. These attempted personifications
OF two lifeless and feelingless ele-
ments were made because there is in
human nature disposition to SYM
pathize with lorn and forsaken maid
en- and to hate and despise a dragon
of whatever sort. 1t was a kind of
deception that might appeal to chill
dren or persons of little perception or
insight. The same thing is attempted
in the Herald's fear of what the ina
chine" in this state will do II undis-
turbed. The machine. or organiza-
ton in North Dakota, is merely the

lican party. working together. It's

for the same.
These consumers would take up the
small products which now go to waste
for want Of consumers.
The man who raises one or two
beeves yearly is compelled to hunt for
a market because his neighbors are
nearly all engaged in similar lines
of production. IL is as though one
shoemaker took his work to another
shoemaker to find market.
But if there were large number
of people who did not produce from
the soil it is evident they would have
to buy from those who did so produce.
By this means the small articles from
the farm could be sold at first hand
whereas now it is necessary to sell
to the shipper who makes all the pro-
fit there is left after paying trans
portation charges to some of the in
dustrial centres hundreds of miles
away. Certainly better prices could
be realized by the farmers of this state
if Pittsburg, the great hive of con-
sumers, were placed in the very heart
of the state.
1t may not be possible to have a

coal towns in the state which will &C

Men who set out to gain political
preferment through deliberate as
saults upon other mems characters
always find themselves embarrassed
when called upon to furnish more
substantial reasons why they them
selves should be entrusted With the
responsibilities of government. Spald
ing, Winship, Helgeson & Co.. having
failed to convince the people of their
sincerity are now ransacking their
own narrow minds for Il new issue.
Their campaign of personal detrac-
ton has reached it's climax The peo-
pie have not responded as they were
expected to respond, and there is con-
sternatiOn in the insurgent camp.
They have discovered that they sprang
their scarlet magazine stories too
soon. An issue based upon falsehood
and SANDER invariably proves to be Il
boomerang if the people have time to
think it over. The Alaska fiction has
grown stale and unpalatable. 1t is
now a chestnut replete with worms.
Mr. Spalding might interest his list
less audiences by telling them what
he knows about some of the old war
claims that went through the house
when he was member of the war
claims committee. The "Looting of
the Treasury by Legislative Process"
would be good theme. Think it
over, Mr.. Spalding.

styled good government leagues"
Differences of opinion do not make
differences in men. and we apprehend
it will be admitted that the average
of humanity is much the same. Hence
it will be difficult for the Herald to
make intelligent readers believe that
there is essentially vice in the major
ity and virtue in the minority.
The Herald admits that the loss to
the state through the control of the
majority has not been in dollars but
in the corrupting of seekers after
spoils of Office. To reform and 'regen-
crate Office seekers and to uplift them
from their benighted condition is the
mission Of the Herald at this time.
This is indeed humane and ennob-
ling mission. Having long sought
political preferment unsuccessfully
at the hands of the machine" Editor
Winship has come through the fire
purged and cleansed and, conscious of
the happiness that comes through a
simple desire for the elevation of the
whole human race, is anxious to
spread the good tidings and let others
be glorified as he has been.
1t is, we may observe at this time,
a curious and cogenr commentary up
on the capacity of men for Office hold
ing, that many of those who been hon.
ored, at their own behest and solicita-
ton, by the machine" in this state,
having exhausted the possibilities of
office holding, have gone into the camp
of the opposition, in the hope that
further honors may be theirs. Their
knowledge of the darkness of the ways
of the machine" came to them only
when the light of Office went out AS
matter of fact, are they not merely
seeking in a new field some soil where
their aspirations for Office may take
root and grow again, and are their
cries of reform" not merely loud be-
cause their hunger for Office is great?
Men who have held one, two and
three public Offices, and who have
drawn one, two and three public sal
aries simultaneously it has been al
legged in some instances) are poorly
armored for a battle for reform, -
against the organization which has
honored them more than they have
honored the. organization.
The Fargo Call. published at the
home of B. f. Spalding, the man with
the grievance" contains these pointed
| paragraphs:

nected with the insurgent move
