It Is a Source Of Satisfaction.

II Is source OF Satisfaction.
jamestown Capital: It must be a
source of great satisfaction to the re-
publican party of this state to see such
splendid promise of complete accord
among those who are seeking the sup
port of the party at the primaries for
the positions of congressman and SEN
ator. With Col. Little in the senate
allied tremendously with Senator Nc
Cumber, experienced and largely SUE
cessful, and with Mr. Hanna in the
lower house working side by side with
Mr.. Gronna and the delegation in both
houses solidly united on every ques-
ton where the states least interest is
at stake, we very much doubt if a
more efficient and forceful factor for
securing needed legislation will be pos
sessed by any of our sister states.
The success, then, of these candi-
dates at the primaries means more to
! North Dakota than the mere triumph
of more or less imaginary faction
within the republican party itself
The real, material welfare Of the state
in its ceaseless struggle to maintain its
| place in the van of national progress
is at stake, and to risk the loss of that
harmony which is so essential to sue,
cess seems dangerous in the extreme
The republican voters of the state as
a whole, regardless Of geographical OF
fractional jealousies, should rise above
the petty disputes and quarrelings O
politicians, and seek, by a wise ant
judicious choice, to assure themselye:
and the state of North Dakota that ou
representation at Washington will b'
a solid unit working to upbuild ou
great commonwealth.

NATION.

Minot, N. D., April 4.-Robert S.
Noah, the self confessed murderer of
Gus Johnson, the Kenmare farmer,
waived preliminary examination be-
fore Judge Murray this morning and
was bound over to the district court.
Patsy Coyle also appeared before
Justice Murray, but did not wish to
enter plea. He staetd that he de-
sired to consult an attorney before he
made plea.
The two men are held on a charge
of murder in the first degree. The
confession of Noah frees Coyle from
any participation in the murder, but
the authorities believe that he was an
acoomplice, either before or after the
fact.
The two men are notorious charac.
tiers, and the outcome of the trial will
be watched with interest.

There is a division of opinion in the
Indiana commission which has been
named to make arrangement for the
placing of a statue of Gen. Lew Wal
lace in the statuary hall OF the cap
itol in Washington. Some of the
members want the memorial to be of
bronze, while the others want it to
be of marble. 1t is said that there
is no agreement on the matter in
sight.
There are only a few statues of
bronze in Memorial hall, and those
that are there, to some eyes at least,
have not the beauty Of the statues in
marble. 1t may be that this is alto
gether a matter of workmanship rath-
err than of material, but the marble
memorials have holding beauty that
the others seem to lack.
An officer of Wallace's old com
mand, Capt. McGrew, who is a mem.
ber of the commission, declares that
he never will consent to bronze
statue of the soldier-writer. 1t may
be that the matter will have to be
settled by the legislature of Indiana
but If the legislators were to go to
Washington and look over the memo
rials already there the chances are
whether they know anything of art
or not they will decide in favor OF
marble.

HAD NO TIME FOR sENrlMsNr
Secretary Morton Smashed Lifetime
Dream of Old Sailor.

In an article on Paul Morton, late
secretary of the navy, the New York
Evening Post says:
when, on one occasion, a navy de.
partment clerk brought him the great
official parchment commission of a
newly promoted rear admiral for his
signature he signed it, after reading 1t,
as he would any document before
signing, and noting the clerk still pres.
ent with the document, inquired what
he wanted and was told:
Admiral Blank would very much
like to receive his new commission
from the hands of the secretary of the
navy personally
Where is hep asked the secretary.
Admiral Blank is upstairs, in his
office, sir
Ask him to come here was the
command, and in few moments the
grizzled veteran presented himself to
the secretary of the navy.
Evidently, the officer was filed
with sentimental emotion on this
event-the climax of his naval career
From boyhood he had lived for this
moment, his long terms of sea duty
the monotony of shore service, the
anxieties of war, the arrogance of SUI
perior officers, the whole chapter OF
the rigors, the self-denial and self
discipline, was to be crowned with the
evidence of honor which his country
bestows upon faithful naval officers
He looked his expectation of words
of praise, as If in lonely watches he
had dreamed of the eloquent sentences
