buckers, and we should judge they
will have something to say about
the line of division when the
proper time comes. We repeat
what we have said before that all
parties interested should get
together and do something sensible.
We might even propose a plan of
action were it not that we feel the

The Independent at Garrison
seems, according to its editorial
printed in broad type, to be con-
fdent that the county division
proposition is invincible. The
editorial does not state which
proposition it supports. but it
would seem unwise, for the present
at least, to divide Mclean county
in any way. We have now, ac-
cording to the last apportionment,
two senators and three representa-
tives, and the Mclean county del
egation should thus have quite a
prestige in the Legislature by which
to carry any measure of good merit
in which our county may be inter-
ested. On the other hand, if the
county is divided at the present
time, the new counties would have
no prestige by which to accom-
plish anything. The time is. per-
haps, not very many years distant
when a county division may be Of
general interest.-Underwood Re-

The News is for the reelection
Of United States Senator Hans
brough-and why not? The sena-
tor has done more for North .Da-
kota in the past few months than
many Of the eastern senators do
for their states in a whole term in
Office. Last winter when the biz
zard was blowing 40 miles an hour
and the thermometer was below
40, Senator Hnnsbrough obtained
a leave Of absence of 80 days for
the homesteaders, and it was ap-
preciated. Just a few months ago
he secured the name Of North Da-
kota for one of the biggest battle
ships afoat and now when tho
money market becomes SO tight
that the crops could not be moved
he wired the president to establish
a government reserve in the twin
cities with the following quick re-
results: That a reserve has al
ready been ordered to the west
for the purpose of moving the
crops. Senator Hansbrough is a
of the senate committee
on finance and will therefore be in
a position to look out forthe north
western interests in any forthcom-
ing legislation. Furthermore the
senator is member Of the public

The Washburn Leader seems to
think that the people of Mclean
county will demand some good
reasons why Sentor Hansbrough
should not be returned to the SEN
ate, and that undoubtedly applies
to a few, but there is likely to be
quite a number who would like to
know why he should be returned.

Now perhaps the Republican
can show as "why Senator Hans
brough should not be returned"
We would like to be shown and if
Dull esteemed contemporary can
he will do something hat has not
been done yet. An enlightened
and free thinking people need no
other proof Of why he should be
returned than his record in the
senate and the monuments of good
done for the people of North Da-
kota, scattered over this state and
attained by his influence in that
body for the betterment Of the
people whom he represents. If
you knowsany just reasons, Mr..
Republican why he should not be
returned-do it, give the facts, but
don't throw up a heap Of smoke
like McKenzieism and a lot of
other isms; and above all, talk as
though you were addressing an
intelligent people such as Mclean

All Of Europe and the Swedish
people in this country are mourn
ing the death Of King Oscar II,
who passed away last Sunday
morning in the castle at Stockholm,
aged Is years. He was the fourth
of the Bernadottes who have ruled
and during his reign Of 35
only peace and prosperity was
known. With a firm hand he put
down all war parties that came up
even the one in 1897 which was
led by his own son Gustave, who
now succeeds him. It was his
greatest desire to bring his long
reign to a close without the dis
grace Of war. The old king had a
way of getting close to the hearts
Of the the people and as the Jour
nal says, she earned and deserved
the respects and admiration Of the
world, and the love and loyalty Of
the Swedish people,"

Its strange that the insurgents
or progressive republicans did not
indorse M. N. Johnson for the
senate. johnson has served eight
years in Congress. He made a

is one Of the original insurgents.
In addition to all this he. is a farm
er and besides is a Norwegian of
the finest type. As a vote getter
he would prove a whirlwind. For
some unknown reason to the writ
er the insurgent ''bucked' on sup
porting johnson who is the strong
est vote-getter in their ranks.
Marshall, a banker has been in
dorsed. That move virtually
queers Johnson's chance of cleo
ton. What johnson and his
friends should do now is to turn in
and support Senator Hansbrough
for reelection. Hansbrough has
also made a splendid record and
occupies the unique position of be-
ing neither an insurgent nor a ma.
chine man. He is a newspaper
man and not a banker. He is

same time can get the Senate to do
he desires. 1t takes
years to acquire the influence and
prestige that Hansbrough has OBJ
and it would be folly for the
state to turn down an efficient pub
lie servant who has done SO much
for good government and his con-
stituency. -Balfour Statesman.

Mclean county is a large terri
tory, and in fact too large for three
county commissioners to give
proper attention to the needs of
the people. We would therefore
favor a proposition for dividing
the county into five commissioner
districts instead of three, as we
have at present, and that it be
submitted at the next primaries

CRESCENT TEAM WILL
ATTEND AS GUESTS

The practice of the university bas-
ketball teams still continues fast and
furious. Last evening a game was
held for twenty-five minutes and thir'
t~y-seven points were scored. The
team of which the Hunton boys are
forwards was defeated by seven points,
their first defeat since returning from
Cheyenne. Team work is improving,
but more attention must be paid to
throwing baskets from the foul line.
Moir will probably make good in his
studies and Akeson will doubtless be
in condition to play.
The hop which will follow the bas'
ketball game will be under the charge
of a committee of student officers.
The entire Crescent team will attend
as guests. Chicago people are reputed
to be good dancers and everybody ex'
poets a good time.
Those desiring reserved seats will
probably be disappointed if they delay
longer than tomorrow noon in secur
ing them at the Red Cross pharmacy

seventy men lost their lives. Their
bodies now lie entombed in the bowels

from work, are endeavoring to mend
the machinery and refit the car shaft
