LAMPMAN PERE FAREWELL
ANNOUNCEMENT

With this issue the connection of
the undersigned with The Chronotype
ceases, the business, plant and goodwill
of the same having been sold to Rex H.
Lampman.
During the years in which the writer
has been engaged in the publication of
the paper he has made many warm
friends in Neche and Pembina county,
and has, as natural consequence,
acquired some equally warm enemies.
The former will long be most kindly
remembered, while the latter will be
charltably forgiven-and forgotten. =
H. HI. LAMPMAN.
The above farewell is very Lampman-
like. In bidding adieu to editor Lamp
man, the publishers of the Pioneer
Express sincerely hope that they will
not be numbered among the forgotten.
The future politics of the Chronotype
is not yet given out but it is understood
that it will be- Independent, with pro-
bable Democratic leanings.
The paper is left in able hands, and
Rex will always get up a readable local
paper.

At the late meeting of the state
W.C.T.U., Governor Burke and Hon. G.
A. johnson, Republican candidate for
governor, were both elected honorary
members of that body. Both were pres
ent and made addresses. After the
honor of election as members had been
made, Mr.. johnson went over to Mr..
Burke and said, Governor, now that we
have been selected as honorary members
it is up to us to 60 forward and sign the
constitution and by laws together" But
for some unexplained reason Governor
Burke declined and got away out doors
as soon as possible. The joke lies in the
fact that signature as members includes
a teetotaller's pledge and Mr.. johnson
had signed and kept such pledge since
he was twelve years of age.

The Supreme court have "set" on the
30 per cent clause of the primary law
and Matched out decision that is as
puzz]lng and vague as the clause itself,
AS nlear as we can make out, the court
thinks that where there is group of
candidates, like members of congress
and county constables, etc, that the law
don't apply, but where only one candi-
date is to be selected for an office, then
1t does apply. The court seems to think
that legislature can regulate 'party"
nominations and elections, but apparent
ly has never considered the fact that
there is no such thing as party" known
to the constitution, and that the statute
itself while constantly referring to "par
ty," has no tangible legal definition Of
what 'party" is.

new and somewhat wild state. yet he be-
came convinced that the Republican
party Of this county was strongly in
favor of state prohibition, and he there
fore pledged himself at the convention to
support prohibition, and SO we'll did
he carry out his pledge that Mr.. Pollock
who his called "the father of the prohi-
bition law" in this state, gave Mr..
LaMoure credit for being the real cause
Of its final passage in the legislature.
Mr.. LaMoure has been denominated
railroad man. From close and critical
watching Of his legislative course, we
think that is true-but not in the sense
in which his critics have sought to place
him. Undoubtedly he has done as
much, if not more than any other man
in the state, to extend the main and
branch lines that are now scattered all
over the state. On the other hand he
has invariably voted against wild, radi-
cal and unconstitutional legislation
against railroads, believing that such a
policy would prevent what we most
needed, the extension of railroads; yet,
the roll calls of the legislature will show
that he has also invariably voted for
measures that placed fair share of the
burden of taxation on these corporations.
What Mr.. LaMoure has done for this
county we all know. We know that he
makes a business of looking after his
own constituency, and that is what we
want him for. 1t is because of this, that
in spite of his own personal wishes, and
in spite of his i'll health and advanc-
ing years, that the Republican party of
this senatorial district have unanimous
ly asked him to accept for one more
term his position as state senator.
That he will receive almost the unani.
nous vote of the district will not be in
disparagement of his Democratic oppon-
ent, but will be because it will be the
last time that we may be able to give
Mr.. LaMoure this well-deseved compli-
ment.

MORE GARDEN "SASS."

If a comfy fair had been held within
the past two weeks Neche would have
captured some prizes in the agricultural
department. There's Don Malo's thirteen
ounce tomato, and Tim O'Brien's three
pound potato, and now comes Charley
Sand with cabbage weighing twenty
one and half pounds. 1t was grown on
his little farm up the formerly
owed by VIM. Cox-and is a fine and
solid specimen. There are a dozen heads
in the patch of about the Sane same size size.

to The Chronotype-and Deacon Ward

has been task far more difficult than
most people realize to make the scant
revenues of this state meet the expenses
which naturally grew more rapidly than
the income.
With. the erroneous ideas of Mr.. La
Moure and of his motives, it has been
sometimes matter of wonder with out
side people who do not know him, how
it is that he has taken the position with
the voters of Pemblna county that he
has. If these same people would reason
a little, they would know that their con-
clnsions are wrong. The citizens of
Pembina acounty are certainly as intelli-
gent as the people elsewhere. If they
voluntarily give Mr.. LaMoure the pre-
ference that they have in all these years
there must be some good reasons. It
would be impossible for any one man to
obtain the prestige that he enjoys with
out the people here were willing, and
they would not be willing if they did not
know the man.
Mr.. LaMoure leadership in this county
is founded entirely on one definite prin-
ciple-and any man with ability can
lead his community in the same man.
ner. 1t is simple rule but is often
ignored by politicians, to their final
discontinue. 1t is this, just find out
which way the people want to go and
lead them that way. Mr.. LaMoure
gets in touch with his own constituency
first, and then keeps in touch.
AS an example of what we mean by
getting in touch with his own consttu-
ency. When the question of prohibition
in this state was first broached, though
Mr.. LsMoure, like many others, did not
believe prohibition to be practical in this
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1908-10-09

territory of Dakota, he has been one of
the leading men. In his time and ex-
perience the foundations of this magni-
ticent state have been laid. No other
new state has been started under more
favorable auspices and prospects. Edu-
cationally, morally, financially, socially,
North Dakota for it's age stands the peer
of any state in this union.
As a civic, county, state or legislative
officer during all the childhood and
youth of this fair commonwealth he has
exerted himself that the coming genera
ton might find it's resources conserved
and it's opportunities opened for progress
unhampered by mistakes or extravaganza
of the beginning. How much this means
at the present time and for the future,
few people yet Geallze, and it is only by
comparison with the management of
some other new states can we under
stand how carefully and wisely the
affairs of this state have been managed
in the past.
Mr.. LaMoure's ability is unquestioned,
but perhaps no man in the state has
been more misunderstood. Josh Bill
ings, the wisest wit that was ever pro-
duced in this country, once said "If
man wants to lead quiet life, he should
walk through the back Streets" Mr.
LaMoure has never walked in the back
streets,he has never feared to take sides
on every question at issue which has
come up.
Because he is natural leader, he
necessarily has made enemies. Bu. with
a legislative experience of a score
of years, with other prominent
positions requiring active duties, and
with the books of all legislative action

FOR SENATOR,

We hardly need name the original of

voter in Pembina county, and to
hundreds in the state, the features of
Hon. Judson LaMoure are familiar.
No other man has occupied SO promin-

time in the affairs of the territory and
state.
Since almost the earliest days of the

been able to show anything savoring of
graft or dishonesty in his career.
For many years at the head of the
senatorial legislative committee on
appropriations, he has done more to
keep the state finances in good shape,
while at the same time making proper
provisions for our needed state institut
ions than has any other man. And it

PENNSY WILL ORDER
new RAILS AND CARS

PITTsBURG. Oct. 22.-"The Penn

rails and equipment for 1909 delivery.
The order viii be about the same size
as usual. The company will not let
its lines deteriorate in any way / be-
lieve that the worst of the business
crisis is over and that there will here
after be gradual improvement"
These statements were made last
night by President James McCrea. Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad. when he
arrived at the Union depot on the in
spection trip which he, the board Of
directors and other officials of the
company are making over the lines
east and west of this city.
An average order of the Pennsvl-
vania for rails in one year for the
lines east and west of Fittsburg is
100000 tons. At the present rate Of
S2S ton this would foot UP $4,000. o.
600. In addition to this the COMPANY
will require not less than 200 more
steel passenger coaches. because Of
needs originating in the new Pennsyl-
vania terminals at New York CITY.
One Of these cars is worth $4,000. The
200 would cost 100000.

senger in a Sixth street car yester-
dav. Don't know whether it's in the

been disagreeable as disagreeable as IL
their breakfast did not agree with
them this morning.
81 have noticed lately that there are
certain davs when people appear 'n
that surly temper. You can't please
them. If YOU speak of the weather
You get a morose reply that the wealth
er never did anything TO them, and If
YOU mention the theatre, or the dinner
YOU went TO last evening, they turn
uD their noses and reply in grabbed
tene of voice that makes you wish you
were among race of dumb people.
yes sir that's the way people act
at times and it comes at regular inter-
walls"
just then a woman passenger waved
frantically at the conductor to stop
the car.
you've carried me two squares be-
yond my street now" she said shrilly.

LONG NlNDED PREACHERS
Three Hours Once Considered Fair
Average Allowance for a Sermon.

Dean Lefroy. who has expressed the
opinion that ten minutes is long
enough for a sermon, would have met
with scant sympathy from some di-
vines of past centuries
Thomas Hooker considered three
hours a fair average allowance for a
sermon. though. on one occasion, when
he was Ill., he let his congregation off
more lightly Pausing at the end of
fifteen minutes he rested a while and
then continued his homily for two
hours longer. Cranmer's sermons
