PERLEY TALKS TO
NORMAL STUDENTS
PROMINENT LOCAL CITIZEN AD-
DRESSES STUDENTS DURING
THE CHAPEL HOUR TODAY ON
WHAT CONSTITUTES SUCCESS
ADDRESS GREATLY ENJOYED.

The students at the state normal,
Moorhead. were RECALLED during the
chapel hour today, with an address
by the Hon. Geo. e. Perley who Sc
lected for his subject, What Consti-
tues Success? The basis of his re-
marks was a predatory sentence con-
tanned In an essay which, by the way,
won the first prize, $3.50, offered by an
eastern publisher for the best essay
which should tell the real meaning of
success or what constitutes success.
The writer of the essay said:
HE has achieved success who has
lived well. laughed often and loved
much; who has gained the respect
of intelligent men and the love of lit
tie children; who has filled his niche
and accomplished his task; who has
left the world better than he found
it, whether by an improved poppy,
perfect poem or rescued soul; who has
never lacked appreciation of earth's
beauty or failed to express it; who
has always looked for the best in
others and given the best he had;
whose life was an inspiration, whose
memory a benediction."
Mr. Perley enlarged on the subject
most delightfully."- and was so forceful
in his conclusions that his hearers
could not help but carry away with
them many helpful crumbs of thought.
He was accorded the most careful at
tention and the applause at the close
displayed warm appreciation.

Few Changes Would Turn Tide.

AS it takes only "a districts to
change the complexion of the lower
house of congress, it will be seen that
less than half of these districts where
there was a plurality of under 1000, IL
carried by the democrats, would give
them control of the house. In great
many cases as a matter of course, u
plurality of 1000 or less is absolutely
safe. There are many congressional
districts where public sentiment runs
along in an even sort of fashion and
the party strength is cast for con-
gresham about the same as for any
other candidate on the ticket
The Australian ballot law, now in
force in so many states, has had de-
cided tendency to prevent the splitting
of tickets. The result is that congress
is much more likely to follow the ma
tional ticket than used to be the case.
On the other hand, there is a growing
spirit of independence among the vot-
ers. Independent tickets have multi
piled in great many states, and these
causes have operated to make it prob
able that the figure of Sc tdoubtfuI dis
tricts is well within the mark.
1t would be a great calamity for Mr..
Taft to be elected president and at the
same time have the opposition control
the house of representatives Under
the Constitution that branch of con-
gress must originate all legislation
raising or spending money Not only
the tariff bill, but every other measure
of a similar character must originate
in the house. All the great appropria-
ton bills which are absolutely essen
tial to the conduct of the government,
have their start in the house. The
senate can amend, but it cannot orig
mate any measure of this character
Change Would Handicap Taft.
The result will be that If Taft should
be elected president, and should find
himself confronted with a democratic
house of representatives, his admin
istration, no matter how well inten-
toned, would be SCI 4ously handicapped
from the start. He would have to
make bargains with the democratic
leaders to secure appropriations to
carry on the business of every de-
partment of the government.
This is the one real danger of the
campaign, and the republicans are
straining every nerve to see to 1t that
they shall secure a majority of the
lower house of congress. They could
afford, perhaps, to face a democratic
house in the middle of the Taft admin
istration, but 1t would be extremely
disastrous to the republican govern
mental program If such a thing should

What Does Democracy Mean?

Mr. Hearst said at Salem, ILL.,, some
time ago that the name democracy no
longer had any distinct meaning, and
he spoke the truth. For nearly half a
century the democratic party has been
trying to forget its past and every four
years 1t has made a new platform and
tried to square most of the past. That
party was opposed to National Banks
and then to public improvements at the
hand of the Federal government, in
sisting that the Constitution conferred
no such power on Congress to provide
for them BY law. They their declared
the war to be failure They took up
the greenback and fiat money issue
only to drop 1t after few years, OPP
GRAFTON. They were in favor Of free
trade. then of free silver and then
back to free trade again
But today the two most CONSPICUOUS
leaders of that party, Mr.. Bryan and
Mr.. Hearst, have gone over to the soci-
alists and populists for their political
doctrines and both favor government
ownership, not only of railroads, but all
'public utilities. The name Democrat
has in truth lost its meaning. 1t rep
fesents simply agitation, if the voices
Of these two leaders speak fora the
party which means them as those who
have right to speak by authority
If the majority of the people are
looking for novelties in government
they should vote the democratic ticket.
If they are looking for agitation and
revolution they should vote for Bryan.
But if the people are looking for sta
bility and peace with prosperity, they
should vote for the party and the men
who stand for stability against revo-
luton. for peace and prosperity against
agitation and adversely. The republi-
car party is not novelty company.
and its platforms are not made up Of
new and untried inventions on govern
ment. The republican party of today
stands Tor the same policies that 1t
did forty years ago, and Mr. Taft is
just the same kind of republican that

JUSTICE ToRsoN DISMISSED
CASE AGAINST PETERSON

The case against Peter E. Peterson
a saloonkeeper, for an alleged vio-
lation of the Moorhead license ordi-
nance, was called before Justice Tor
son this morning on a change of ven
ue from Justice Malloy's court and
was dismissed, practically for want
of other than mere circumstantial evil
dence. Certain witnesses who had
been subpoenaed by City Attorney
Sharp failed to put in an appearance
and the suspicion prevails that they
had conveniently left the state, in fact
it is stated that they are now in Mon
tana. The defendant was represent
ed by Mr.. Witherow who contended
that the evidence produced by the
was purely circumstantial
and of a nature that did not warrant
a conviction and the court took that
view and dismissed the case.

Herbert was induced by Higley to
invest 5000 of his money in an alleged
invention and Herbert became SO in

to invest a like amount. Higley told
the Burts that the United States gov
eminent had set aside $1,000,000 for
the first invention of perpetual mo-

proved a success, as it undoubtedly
would, he would give each one of the
