The. selection of candidates for the
judiciary Occupied considerable time
and attention at the recent meeting
of the state bar association. There
were several propositions for a
change from the present methods
of selecting Judges, and Attorney
Combs of Valley City proposed the
selection Of candidates by local and
the state bar associations and their
recommendation to the people by
such associations regardless of pol
itics. AS the matter was finally left,
the bar of each judicial district may
recommend a candidate, who may
be also endoTsegd by the state assoc
citation, or. the state association may
indorse some. other candidate or
make no recommendation at all.
This leaves the matter about as it
is at present, and, Of coures, the vot-
ers of the district would be free to
accept or reject the recommendation,
of either the local or the state bar
association. The general intent of
the resolution that, was finally pas
sed is thatathe state bar association
take some action upon whatever rec
concentration. may be made by the
local bar as to candidates for the
%judgeship.

WELT DOESN'T RUN.

New York Times Saratoga Special:
P. i. McCumber, United States SEM
tor from North Dakota, who is here
IN attend the national encampmens
of the Grand Army of the Republic
and. who was one of the speakers az
last nights campfire" said today
that in all probability there would
be such an insistent demand at the
next national convention for Presi-
dent Roosevelt that he would be
compelled to accept the nomination.
for a third term.
"What about Gov. Hughes?' Sena-
tor McCumber was asked.
"Gov. Hughes has many friends il
North Dakota, where his career is
being watched very Closely
"Do you regard Gov. Hughes as .
presidential possibility"
"If President Roosevelt should MOI
run again Gov. Hughes, or almosI
any one of those whose names so far
have been mentioned. would be 8
possibility I am sure, though, the
party leaders would settle on some,
body who could be depended upon tc
carry out President Roosevelt's poll
cies."
do you regard then, that Secre'
tary Taft, who seems to be the Roose-
welt candidate, as his legal success
sor?"
81 don't think, said Senator Nc.
Cumber, chat there is any justifca-
ton for the impression which has
gone abroad that Secretary Taft is
President Roosevelt's candidate. II
there should prove to to any ground
for that belief, in my opinion, il
would not help Secretary Taft any.
The natural and perfectly American
sentiment as regards such a candi
dacy wuld beone of resentment"
What do you think about Mr.
Fairbanks and Speaker Cannon {.
presidential possibilities" PHI
"Fairbanks is a good man, and the
more the people get to know him the
more confidence they will have in
him. We don't hear much talk about
Speaker Cannon in my part of the
country"
Senator McCumber is the father
of the old age pension bill whick
passed congress at the last session
and he will introduce the widows
pension from IS to $12 a month.

Grafton Residents Give Senior Senator
Glad Hand on Recent Visit.
Grafton Record: Senator H. G.
Hansbrough, the senior North Dakota
Senator, arrived in the city yesterday
morning and was shaking hands with
his many friends in the city. Senator
H~ansbrough has represented the state
in congress since the state was ad-
mitted in 1899. One of the first legis-
lative triumphs was the appropriation
of the land west of the city for a nat
ional ~penitentiary. The penitentiary
was not built but it paved the way for
the institute for feeble minded. The
senator will remain in this city until
this evening when he will return to
Grand Forks.

Fargo ~Searchlight: The Interna-
tional Harvester trust has been ban
ished from Texas and has just paid q
fine of $4,000 to that state. This is
the same trust that Senator Hans
brough has been attacking, and for
which The Forum of this city has
given him credit as being the originat-
or of the movement. If the senator
means business he can do much dur
ing the next session of congress to
curb both it and the other trusts and
to protect the rights of the people.
There never was a better opportunity
for members of the senate to dis
tinguish themselves than now and
The %Searchlight expects with conf
dence that the members from this
state will not neglect the opportunity.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1907.

The campaign next year is des-
tined to be an exciting one, and it
is generally wished by all republi-
cans of the state to have harmony
in the party as it is necessary to
party success. As it is the wish of
all republicans to roll up a good
large majority for President
Roosevelt, much will depend upon
the candidate for governor. We
have heard a number mention the
name of Hon. Robert M. Pollock
of Fargo, believing that be would
be an ideal candidate, and a candi-
date on whom both factors of the
republican party could unite. Mr..
Pollock is a lawyer of ability, was
a member of the constitutional con-
vention and speaker of the house,
session Of 1901. He lis an ideal
citizen and if he can be united up
on as a candidate for governor, he
would carry the state without
doubt. by a large majority. He is
a man against whom neither fac
tions of the republican party has
any grievance. for he has never
taken a very active part in politics
in the state. He is a broad mind
ed, fair man, and one who could.
honor the state and the Office.

Collected Valuable Relics on Visit to

Collected Valuable Relics on Visit to
Observation-Disclosures Council.
Prof. Libby, secretary of the State
Historical society, has just returned
from a visit to the Fort Berthold In.
dian reservation, where he was es.
pecially successful in collecting val.
liable relics for the society.
Not only was the secretary success.
full in his efforts in collecting many
very are and valuable specimens of
ancient Indian life, but also secured
for the benefit of the society the loan
of the G. w. Hoffman collection, which
is the most valuable Gros Ventres col.
lection in the state and one of the best
in existence and is worth $500 to
$1,000.
Upon the trip Mr.. Libby was sue.
cessful in being permitted to attend
an Indian council, held in one of the
old lodges, just as they we're held
in ancient days, when they were the
most sacred rites of these people.
The council was in exact accord
with these formal rites for ages i'm.
memorial, consisting of the circle
around the fire, the smoking of the
pipe, and the speeches.
After the council was held the feast
of the roasted beef after the olden
style.
The trip resulted in his meeting
with many of the old men and listen.
ing to their stories, among them be.
ing Bad Gun, son of the great Man.
dan chief, Four Bears, who died in
the smallpox epidemic, when the five
villages were broken up in 1887, and
who, at the age of 10 was a hunter
and warrior of his tribe. Also valua.
bic pictures of Indians and Indian
scenes were obtained upon the trip.
But, perhaps, the most valuable
and rarest article obtained was a pair
of ancient baptismal pipes and legends
attending them; also the form of cere.

There is gloom and sorrow among
the Gros Ventres. Poor old Wolf
Chief was by some means prevailed
upon to dispose of some of the sacred
tribal relics and to let them pass away
from the state and go to a distant
eastern city. They felt that they have
been disgraced and dishonored. But
they are now willing to let the State
Historical society have these things,
as they will be preserved and hon

COSTLY PRESSURE.
Heart and Nerves Fall on Coffee.

A resident of great western state
puts the case regarding .stimulants
with a comprehensive brevity that is
admirable. He says:
Il am Sc years old and have had con-
siderable experience with stimulants.
They are all alike-a mortgage on re-
served energy at ruinous interest. AS
the whip stimulates but does not
strengthen the horse, 80 do stimulants
act upon the human system. Feeling
this way, gave up coffee and all
other stimulants and began the use Of
Postum Food coffee some months ago.
The beneficial results have been APP

THE JAMAICA DISASTER.

An earthquake, followed by fire,
partly destroyed Kingston, a city of
$4,000 inhabitants, and capital of the
island of Jamaica. Many persons were
killed and injured, among the dead,
according to report. being Sir James
Ferguson and 40 soldiers. Many
American and English tourists are in
Jamaica. the latter including party
of distinguished statesmen and agri-
cultural experts. Direct communica-
ton with Kingston was cut Off.
Later advices are that the dead In
the Kingston earthquake may reach
1000. Great distress prevails and
starvation threatens the survivors.
The United States dispatched two
shiploads of food at once and Admiral
Evans FASTENED to the scene on a
torpedo boat destroyer, followed by
two battleships. Other relief meas
ures were taken promptly in America
and England.
