Communication.
The following from the Bismarck
Palladium will be of interest to read
ers:
Cleveland, N. D., Feb. %, 1906.
To Hon. B. F. Spalding, Leader of
"The Republican Good Government
League" Fargo, N. D.:
. Dear Sir: l have Just received the
enclosed circular No. $50 from your
league and in reply beg to say, that l
am heartily in accord with any move
ment that will better the conditions
OF our state and country. l am a
Roosevelt republican and, l hope, a
Roosevelt American.
1 do not take much of an interest
In politics and am not a seeker after
Office, but I do want things right l
believe in Roosevelt reform, but l be-
lieve in making that reform within the
grand old republican party, when re-
form is needed, not out of it, and when
l received the enclosed circular l be-
gan to look back over the history of
the G. o. P. and when l find back of
your movement such men as Murphy
of Minot, Lauder of Wahpeton, White
of Valley City, Winship of Grand
Forks, Johnson of Petersburg, Glas-
pell Of jamestown and pretending
leaders of the Scandinavian league
over the state i am forcibly reminded
that the leaders of your movement are
not without fault. For did not several
OF your leaders run on the democratic
ticket as soon as the republicans re-
fused to feed them with more nomina-
lions, and were they not first whipped
in the republican and then the demo-
cratic ranks? Are they not of the
anything for an office" class? And
have they not time and again tried to
break into the state or national capt.
toll buildings? Take your own case.
Were you not turned down by the par
ty at Grand Forks and your place fill
ed by another?
Then, too, am reminded that all of
your leaders have been members of
the regular republican party Of the
state when its management has not
been different OF one whit worse than
1t is now and seemed glad to seek and
sometimes hold Office hereunder.
II there is to be reform move
ment let us make it in the party-not
outside.
There seems to be nothing wrong
with our state government and as for
the primary election system, it seems

Facts About New York runn.l.

Among the interesting facts about
the new Pennsylvania railroad tunnel
and terminal in New York are these:
Total cost, s6o,O0o,Ooo. in addition to
the s10,0O0,OO0 for the station site, on
which were about 500 dwellings; daily
train capacity. 900: passenger accom-.
mediation daily, 100000; men at work,
about 10000; time required for trip un-
der the Hudson, two minutes. In pro.
jecting this enterprise the engineers be.
lieve they have solved all the prob.
lens which baffied the most daring en-.
gineers of % years ago. Philadelphia

to be the politicians hope, and not
the hope Of the people. The new sys-
tenn forces the man to seek Office, not
Office to seek man and wholly does
away with our fathers idea that the
Office should seek the man. The new
system will soon do away with the
poor mans chance. 1t renders 1t too
costly. Two campaigns instead of one
al a great cost In our expansive coun-
ties.
Your new system would render it
impossible for any of us living In the
outer precincts to make a campaign
owing to the great expense, while
under the old way we could get our
few neighboring precincts and win q
nomination with hardly no cost at all.
Even under your System" I don't see
how your friends in Stutsman county
could win anyhow as they have been
the "old gang" for quarter of CEN
fury and of late years have been turn
cd down by a popular vote from 21s
to to 1 in the choice of delegates.
OF course Pm no politician but
like to keep posted on the current
POLITICAL events and if I am not right
in my surmises and conclusions, let
me know. l want to do that which is
right, but am unable to believe in
these quick reformers who are dis
gruntled Office seekers or politicians.
1t seems to me that the government
of the state is first class, and our rep
resentatives in congress have gained
in Importance and legislative ability
until they stand in the front ranks of
cur national government for integrity
and sagacity with no one as good try
ing to caluminate them. l am so we'll
satisfied with the present government
in state and national affairs that
must refuse to join your new organi-
cation.
Yours truly,

A Wise One.
There was a man in our town,
And he was wondrous wise;
He opened up small hotel
But didn't advertise,
Because he knew that if he did
He'd make the business hum,
And never could accommodate
The people who would come.
