Bert Benedict
Pardoned

Among the pafdons granted by
the state board at the meeting which
adjourned Thursday was that of J. p.
Dahlquist, formerly a member Of the
Fargo board Of education and after
ward a hotel keeper, who was SEN
fenced by Judge Pollock to four
months Imprisonment for violation
of the prohibition law, and to a fine
Of $500 in lieu of which an addition
al six months was to be served. The
board of pardons RENTED that part
of the sentence fixed as an alterna-
tive Of the fine, making the total sen
tence to be served four months.
The pardon of Bert Benedict gives
that individual an opportunity to be-
gin over and retrieve himself. Bene-
dict, was frequenter of disreputable
places at Williston, and with wo.
man, took morphine, to which both
were addicted. The dose proved too
great for the woman and she died.
1t has always been claimed that
there was no intent on the part OF
Benedict to effect the woman's death
He was sentenced to fifteen years
and had served five. E. L. Sutton
Of Minot appeared for him before
the board of pardons.

"A town that never has anything
to do in public way is On the way
to the cemetery. Any citizen who
will do nothing for his town is hep
ing to dig the grave. A man that
curses the town furnishes the ccf-
fin. The man who is so selfish as
to have no time from his business to
give to the city affairs is making his
shroud. The man who will not ad-
vertise is driving the hearse. The
man who is always pulling back from
any public enterprise throws bou-
5quets on the grave. The man who is
so stingy as to be bowling hard times
breaches the funeral, sings the dox-
ology and thus the town lies buried
from all sorrow and care.

CAMPAIGN SHOTS.

Here is a specimen of some OF the
legislation passed at the instance OF
w. L. Stockwell, superintendent of
Public Instruction, for the fostering
of country schools. The apportion-
ment for rural schools by the consti-
tuition of the state was fixed accord
ing to the number of children in
the school district. In 1903 Stock
we'll got a law passed providing that
school district should have its APP
portionment fixed upon the basis of
the number Of children attending
school sixty days in the year. AS
1t happened that in many cases the
school census was taken so as to d.
vide the time of the attendance, chill
dren who really attended the sixty
days did not get credit for it. There
are other causes and conditions
which prevented children from at
tending the full sixty days, although
they were there good share of the
time. There was such an outcry
against this law that Stockwell in
his deep love for the rural schools
had it repeated in 1906 and suggest
ed a. substitute which is even worse
in it's effect. AS it is now, if at least
fifty per cent of the children do not
attend the rural schools sixty days I'M
the year the school does not get any
share at all of the apportionment.
The result of this Is that schools in
the most sparsely settled portions of
the state, in the new counties, which
should be helped the most are not
helped at all, but are cheated sout of
their apportionment.
The Minneapolis Journal recently.
sent reliable newspaper men through
Minnesota, the two Dakotas, Iowa
and Wisconsin and found in each
that the republican party is divided
by sQuabhles for senatorial toga
here, congressional seat there, for
the state machinery in another place.
The false issue raised by the 'touts"
is the same all over. They Charge
the Gins" that they constitute ina
chine, and that their ways are COR
rupt, the specific offense being
friendliness to corporations. The
Journal finds that this pretense is
false. There is nothing at stake
greater than personal ambition Of a
selfish nature. Loyalty to party Is
cast aside; party success is ringless
cipher and personal ambition is all
and all. Men who have been in tile
republican party all their life and at
the hottest points in the firing line
have been spurned, abused, called
"corruptionists'' and "hirelings" by
men who are raw recruits in the par
ty and not half converted the party
politics. The lowest political tricks
are resorted by self-righteous puri-
tans in politics. Beaten, they carry
on the conflict merely to split the
party. The Journal thinks that 1t is
thousand pities that with enough
republican votes to carry every state
north Of Mason & Dixson's line.
nearly dozen Of the states are sub
jects of anxiety because Of factional
fights within the party. The. Journal
concludes regret is all the more
acute If one reflects on the small,
personal, and selfish ends of those
who insist that this conflict shall
go on and make doubt Of success.
The necessity for harmony is great,
the dilemma Is manifest.
Get together or get beaten"

America Alone. Has Hummins Birds.


America Alone Has Humming Birds.
Though the art museums Of Europe

America cannot boast. our. continent

OF these there are said to be some 400
species-the Four Hundred we may
well call them-neariy all Of which
are peculiar to the. tropical regions.
Only eighteen cross the borders Of the
United States from Mexico and occur
only In our southwestern states. The
popular idea is that the hummer lives
only on honey gathered from flowers.
This Is mistake. The bird does Sc
cure some honey, but its food consists
mainly Of the small insects which fire.
quent the flowers. Some Of these In
sects are injurious to the blossom, and
the tiny bird fulfills useful function
in destroying them. That the hummer
is insectivorous, is also shown. by its
habit of catching tiny insects on the
wing, which Is occasionally Observed
