Our friend William, adown Broad
way, has finally found flaw in the
legislative record of his more or less
esteemed co-w0rker In the local moral
vineyard. William says the Record
man introduced but one bill-a con-
current resolution to amend the
constitution SO as to provide for local
option in the sale of intoxicating H.
quors, and commonly known as s.tbe
resubmission BILL" We are sorry to
say that Billy's statement is incorrect.
Some OF the best members of the as.
sembly are those who introduce fewest
bills, but who are competent and will
Ing to assist good measure or help to
Kill the numerous unnecessary or harm
ful propositions. AS a matter OF fact.
the number OF bills introduced by a
member Is poor criterion for judg-
ment as to his value, for the reason
that members who are at all prom.
inent in legislative work are continu.
ally importuned to present bills AL.

Ak to grind, and a dozen OF these could
be introduced by any such member IL
he would consent to do So The fact
is that the thoughtful members OF
senate and house at each session re.
Eret that some means has not been
found to head or the avalanche Of
o'lls that are dumped upon the houses

clearly UNCONSTITUTIONAL, and most uf

NOTWITHSTANDING the outrageous
stories that we're written by eastern
newspaper men regarding the great
hardships and suffering" In North
Dakota during the past winter, the
general refutation Of the same put
forth by the state press seems to have
neutralized their evil effects; for in all
parts Of the state the local papers al
ready report the arrival Of many i'm
migrants who have come to make

A FORUM correspondent In the up
country nominates the Hon. John II.
Worst, president Of the state agricul-
tural college, as the republican can
dtuate for governor. IL goes without
saying that, iflle should be q candidate,
he would get practically solid vote
In his old-time home county. But we
doubt very much whether Mr.. Worst
would give up the work he is doing
IN exchange for the nomination for
governor. That fleeting honor would
be nothing In comparison with what
Mr.. Worst is accomplishing through
the splendid ability which he has
shown and is showing in building up
In this new state an institution that
y favorably known among scientists
throughout the nation, and that is the
pride OF the people OF North Dakota.
Should he become candidate, he
would have the support Of every news
paper on the Slope, and the Record
enthusiastically among them. But,
with Mr.. Worst preferring his present
position and he probably will prefer
tt-what's the matter with Treadwell
Twichell. speaker Of the house at the
recent session Of the legislative as
sembly? Mr.. TWichell was an insur-
gent; but he was SO fair and Just as be-
tween the factions that many of the
stalwart representatives went home
his personal friends. II Gov. Burke
should again be . candidate for gov.
ernor, 1t would be u wise idea from a
republican standpoint for the factions
to get together in the next campaign.
And that getting together could be
best brought about by choosing for the
Australian ballot at the regular elec-
tion men Of both factions in whom the
voters would have confidence. We he.
lieve that, barring Worst, there isn't
q man in the Red River valley who
would make better run on the Slope
than Mr.. Twicheli.

For.six months q pathetic sight In
Linton was little Allen Junge, the
oldest son Of Mr. and Mrs A. n. Junge.
We say pathetic" because during oil
that time the dear little fellow-al-
though free from pain and able to Be
about, aud often seen downtown with
his younger brother, Alton = was
doomed. Late last summer the boy
began to fall. An examination by .
physician showed that lie was suffer-
Ing from diabetes, and the parents
were given the heart-breaking intel
ligence that, although he might linRer
for months, he could not recover. But
the father aud mother could not make
up their minds that II must be %; aud
they 1T once went with him to their
old home, Ortonville, Minnesota,
where lie was examined and treated by
the former physician Of the family.
But the doctor could give no hope.
Uncomplainingly the little fellow lin
gered for about half year and then
gently he went to sleep-the sleep that
knows not waking. He died Tuesday
afternoon ct O'Clock.
Allen Albert Junge was seven years,
six months and two days old at the
time OF his death. Girlish and deli
cate In feature, lie was indeed . lovely
child. Everybody In town loved him,
and to see him downtown with his
brother Alton-to whom, when both
boys were little more than babes, he
gave the name Of Sweetheart" !" and
over whom he always manifested q
sort Of guardianship and knowing
that the youthful spirit must soon
take flight, would bring . feeling OF
sorrow and sympathy to the hearts even
Of those whose emotions ere not easily
affected. Only few days before he
died he was downtown In company
with his brother, who was his insep'
erable companion, and to the laymau
he seemed to be about in the same
health as he was six months ago.
AS said above, his death was pain
less. For several hours before he died
he laid, patient and accomplishing,
upon the bed, scarcely moving and
apparently suffering no pain. Death
came SO softly that It was almost i'm
possible to believe that the spirit o1
the gentle, loving child had left 1t.
tenement Of clay.
The funeral was held ut the resi-
dence Of the family on Eighth street
Wednesday afternoon ut 2:3O o'clock
The services were conducted by the
Rev. Meyer, the Lutheran minister.
The interment took place In Lixtor
cemetery.
Words Of sympathy can accomplish
but little in assuaging the grievoul
sorrow Of parents for the loss Of : loved
and loving child. Were they of avail
Mr.. and Mrs. Junge would surely heal
such words from every one; for moi
the relatives alone loved the bright
faced, manly little fellow whom tn,
townspeople knew was soon to b.
called away.

 Oar government calls upon our ciu- zcus for but little service in payment for the rights of liberty freedom of pres, and speech, the right Co ret- giou, liberty and the manifold bleS- sings secured Co the American citizen bv our constitution On, duty re- uuired is that of jury service. This duty k often ouerouS and frequently work, a hardship upon the man serv- ing as juror. The troubles of the fury room in deciding between the rigE, and wrong, the government and the accused. are troubles which al- ways affect an honest juror with doubts and uncertainties as to the correct ness of his judgement. Yet, the duty is as paramount to the nation as in time of war when yoluuteer, step for ward and enlist for their country.
 The same degree of patriotism k necessary: there are no flashing co,ors, no strains or the bugle, no stirring of the pulses with martial music. mo loud voiced commands; but the call, of peace are no less iu,j>tent in their vital importance, and the man who doe, his duty as a juror may not re- ceiye the plaudttS of a large and eu- thu,iastic coucOurse of people greeting the return of the hero from war.

 The btI introduced last session in the house by Chairman Jenkins of the judiciary committee, had lhe endorse men, of the administration and but for the change in attorneys general would undoubtedly have becom, a law. To Uni, bill however was attached the claus. giving the appointment of '. <. commissioners to the governor.
 When the bill reached the senate an ambitious senator from the city made by Alaska, in his patriotism and unselfsh zeal for Alaska suggested the appointment of an addjtjona, judge, who should come on a juuketing trip to Alaska to hold court and also act as an understudy for Judge Hanford at Seattle. The appointee 10 be the law partner of the senator.
 Unfortunately this highly beneficial and unselfsh speices of graft defeated the creation of the division.
 When the Queen City of Puget sound performs and aids in the accom- pliShment of legislation for Alaska, with unselfsh and honorable motives, then let us aid Seattle's fair and lend Alaska's name to it. but not until then.

CUTTING DOWN ALASKA

The cutting down of Alaska'S rep resentation in the republican national convention from six delegates to two probably means that a majority of the national committee is antagonistic to Taft. The Alaska convention en- dorsed Taft for the presidential nom- ination. No doubt that action induced the anti-Tart men on the national com mittee to sat the territory back from the representation it has had in the last two conventions.
 The same cause no doubt induced the raising of the objection that Alas ka elected its delegates prematureIy in choosing them before the conven- ton call was issued, The rule has not previously been enforced against Alaska.
 The indorsement of Taft by the Ju- neau convention was based upon the argument offered by Ex-Mayor Harry White of seattle, who was there to hold up the Taft boom by the tail, that Taft, name would not go before the national convention unless he were sure of the nomination, which would absolve Alaska from his support, and if he is to be terminated it would be good policy fer Alaska to line up on the ground floor This argument pre- vailed.
 It is very nkely that when the con- vention meets it will admi, the six Alaska delegates. It certainly will if they belong to the crowd that is on top.

HARD TO FINE PLACE
 TO SLEEP IN CORONA

Cordova is accommodating larger population than the town is able to put under roof and many people are living in tents. When the steamer Northwestern came through she left twenty passengers on the dock in a heavy rain and they were greeted with the cheering intelligence that they would nave to stand up all night III the street unless they could set up tents in the darkness. Several women were in the lot and they stayed on the boat until she sailed next morning.
 In deference to all precedentS in similar cases the alarm of a forthcom- inc railroad has started rush into the town. Considerable work is in progress but it is admitted that eXten- sive railroad construction can not get under way until the snow goes off next spring. NJ. J. Heney, the contractor, says as much himself, Nevertheless people are crowding in to get on the ground floor, which in Cordova hap pens to be mostly tundra and swamp.
 In Seattle the belief is general that the railroad will build in earnest from Cordova this time, as far as the Kayak coal fields, but hardly any one believes that it will build to the interior for several years or any time until the Guggenheims want to get the copper out, which is not likely to be soon.

GoTHSELF DlSLIKED

Juneau accumulated a large measure of dislike in tn, recent territorial convention, which is d pity, because it k a good town and haS lot oi good people in it, including some of the best fellows in the world, but they got on wrong and several petty actions placed the territorial capital in the att titude of a pariah in Alaska politics, It will probably be several years be- fore another convention will be held in Juneau.
 To begin with, the apportionment was so grossly unfair that no decent apology can be made for it. It was made by Juneau men. Juneau was given ten delegates. Valdez, which boiled almost the same vote and three times the republican vote at the dele rate election of 1906, was allotted three. Seward, which boiled two- thirds the vote of Juneau. and double tho republican vote. was "iven two. All down the table Southeastern Alas ka was given the best of it.
 Then the queer spectacle was pre- sented of taking up a collection on the convention floor to pay for the opera house and other convention expenses. No man in the convention could re- member that he ever before heard of a convention city compelling the dele gates to pay for the hall in which they met. Citie, usually offer free halls and other inducements to get conyen- tfons. In this case Juneau reaped a fair harvest in the money dropped at it's third rate hotels and it's bars by the delegates, who were mostly good speuders.
 Then the walk-out of the Juneau crowd and others because they could not have their own way left a bad taste. It was their privilege but the other fellows did.not like it,especialIy as they offered the minority every thing except to surrender the victory that had been won in the primaries. They offered any concession in the way of representation iu the election of delegates and committee member ships. The Juneau delegation could have named any man they chose for delegate to the national convention, even Gov. Hoggatt himself, who does not lack esteem for his any good qualities, in spite of his mastery of the gentle art of making enemies in politics.
