MEMBER or ASSOCIATED PRESS

As we have already stated, the
Grand Forks conference was held
largely for the purpose of relieving
some of the opponents of Congress
man Marshall of embarrassment in
their support of him. Among these
| is the. Grand Forks Herald, which
some time ago vigorously resented
the CHASING Of the congressman as an
insurgent or an independent. The
forces at work to obtain the indorse-
rnent of Mr.. Marshall, including those
who desired to profit also by an in
sdorsement for Office, were too strong
for the Herald, and that paper ac-
cepts Mr.. MarshalPs Endorsement as
the Overwhelming desire Of the in
surgents Of the state The Herald,
however. is more charitable toward
the insurgent convention than it was
toward the regular republican conyen-
ton held at jamestown last year.
After that It preached openly that the
ticket should be knitted. Now it
breaches support of the insurgent
ticket for the sake of Harmony,
Verify, politics is full Of strange reas-
oning and crooked logic.

It is stated that the balance Of the
insurgent slate will be named by a
committee. thus entrusting the nomi-
nation Of insurgent candidates for a
good many important Offices to an
even less representative body than a
convention. Certainly nothing, In the
palmiest days of the old convention
system approaches this Capitalization
of authority in the hands of few
insurgent followers. In the light of
the convention that has just been
held, the naming Of a committee to
name the balance of the ticket, and
the methods followed in the Grand
Forks convention, the insurgent in
dorsement of the primary law and the
pledge to support it is remarkably in
consistent with the attitude of the
few insurgent leaders who managed
the advisory conference at Grand
Forks. "a "a. s5s III

The pleas Of the insurgent leaders
that reform and not office was what
they desired do not seem to be borne
out by the recent nominating conyen-
ton OF the insurgents. Twichell, who

converts, are Endorsed for Office. SEN
ator Young, who has finally decided
that he belongs clear over in insurg-
ent camp gets an Endorsement Hell
geson who has been an ardent re-
former, gets Endorsed for congress.
Surely it is not possible that the ac.
tiyity Of these candidates for reform
was induced by desire to form d
nesw political Organization under
which they might be elected to Office.

Cured by a Goat.

Eli Edwards, sixty-aine years old,
a well-known farmer of near Shelby
vile, Ind, for several years had been
afflicted with nervousness for which
physicians could give no relief. If he
shook hands with an acquaintance
it was likely to precipitate an attack
lasting for days and even weeks.
A week ago Edwards went to the
barn to assist in feeding the live
stock, and he discovered a goat in
the corn crib. AS the goat jumped
from the crib Edwards aimed ter
rife kick at the animal, delivered
with such force as almost to jerk his
hip out of the socket. AS result
Edwards was confined to his bed for
three days, but when he arose he
found that he had been cured of his
nervousness. He now asserts that
the goat accomplished in five seconds
what five physicians had been trying
for that many years.

Rats as Judges OF Ivory.

(Ncw Orleans Times Democracy
The ivory dealer pointed to half
dozen rats gnawing among the yellow
heaps of tusks and ivory fragments
in the garret.
''They are quite tame, you see,"
he said. why shouldn't they be
50? The fact is, they are on my pay
roll. They work for me. Their
wages are pound of cheese and a
loaf of bread a week.
Ivory dealers like rats, for rats
are ivory's best judges, and without
their help we should often want a
higher price for a bad tusk than for
fine one."
He took fragment of ivory from
the floor and pointed to Gel tain
small burrows in it's surface.
THE rats did that" he said.
Those burrows are a proof of the
lvory's excellence. Rats gnaw the
ivory that contains animal glue, OF
2 ,...tlrle. substance of which they
ire fond. And this substance it is
that makes ivory excellent, yet a
mere man can't tell whether a tusk
contains it or not.
The rats can tell. They are ivory
experts, and they work so cheap"
