HANSBROUGH GAINING

The result of the Minot convention
can have but one effect on the candi-
dacy of Hon. H C. Hansbrough for
senator and that Is to his advantage.
1t has clearly demonstrated that he
is sincere in his fight against the cor
porations, claim which numerous pa
pers throughout the state have been
denying, and the proof of which many
of the people of the state have been
waiting for. This will have a tendency
to enlist this vote which is large, in
his cause.
1t is a conceded fact that Senator
Hansbrough has ever worked for the
best interests of his state and nation.
North Dakota has been we'll and hon
estly represented. Mr.. Hansbrough
has, by faithful attention to his duty,
and jealous care in the administration
of everything that fell to him in his
capacity as senator, gained a high
place in his official carer One that
can only be reached by years of faith
full work, and one which gives him the
opportunity to represent the state as
no other man could possibly do for
years to come.
He is now at the head of several i'm
portant committees, and the people of
this state are not likely to experiment
at this time by putting in an untried
man, who at the best would require
several years to reach standing that
would give him an opportunity of do
ing much good in the senate
It is not the opportune time to make
q change in the senator from this
state What the people want is good
honest representation, and the best
possible results. They realize that
Mr. Hansbrough is in the best position
to give this and every day his popular.
ity grows. The fight is practically be.
tween Hansbrough and Little. repre-.
senting respectively good government
against government by the corpora.

NOT SO BAD AS 1T LOOKS.

If the result of the Minot conyen-
ton was a fair indication of the
wishes of the people it would indeed be
sad blow to our state, for 1t would
be an indication that North Dakota
was in favor of having our state con-
trolled by the corporations. But this
is not the case nor has it been proven
SO. To be sure the convention was
dominated by Mckenzie, and he is
the admitted tool of the corporations.
But this action On the part of the con-
vention does not by any manner OF
means represent the will of the people
of the state of North Dakota. We take

VIII the Plan Work?

A clergyman of western New York
who believes that gossip is one OF the
denominations has devised a plan for
checking its pernicious activity in the
town in which he lives. He announced
from his pulpit short time ago that it
was his purpose to set apart one Sunday
in the month for reciting stories current
in the gossip of the town, and ventured
the opinion that this would tend to put
gossips on their guard, because he had
no intention Of mentioning the names OF
the victims, but would take care to cred
it each spicy story to the lively narrator
responsible for putting it in circulation.
This is an interesting plan. 1t cannot
fail to do good. sure sign which diff
ferentiates gossip from legitimate news is
the invariable desire of its purveyors
not to be known as sources of the intor-
nation. The more dangerous the story
to the reputation of the person or per-
sons whom it concerns, the greater the
solicitude of those who whisper it to
shelter themselves behind the cover OF
secrecy. Whenever a communication is
i prefaced with the caution, You must
! not say | told you" it is suspicious.
| There may be some foundation for it, or
what seems like foundation; but the
particulars are likely to be exaggerated
! or supplemented in such a way that
somebody will be made to suffer.
The confirmed gossip is as mean as the
coward who hides behind fence and
throws stones at passersby. Acommun.
ity in which gossip runs rampant is sure
to be injured by the prevalence of the
vicious habit. The plan of making pub
lie the names of the Don't-say-I.told
yous hits at gossip in its most vulner
able part, and if faithfully adhered tc
cannot fail to have the effect of wei

Scientific examination of the trans

London has revealed the fact that such
instruments may easily play an impor-
tant part in the spread of disease. An
expert in bacteria was instructed to
scrutinize number of swabs taken from

ment ten miles distant, and was travel
ing over the ice with pack of dogs,
when he found himself driven off the
coast by moving ice field. Before he
realized it he was in an area covered
only with broken DRIFT ice, and before he
could stop the dogs the animals had
carried him into the water. The dogs
attempted to climb on DR.. Grenfel' $
back, and he was obliged to fight the
animals before he was able to climb onto
a solid piece of drift ice. The dogs also
succeeded in saving themselves. With
the wind blowing gale, the tempera-

"Since 1898 Japan has been preparing
