NORTH DAKOTA REPUBLICANS

Minot, N. D., May 1.-THE republic
can state convention to choose eight
delegates and an equal number of al
ternates to the Chicago convention was
called to order in the opera house here
this morning. The rivalry between the
two factions of the party. the "stal-
warts" and the insurgents" lends in
terest to the convention, as rejecting
the probable lineup and relative
strength of the factions in the sena-
torical contest to come. Both factions
are for Taft, so the contest has no out
side significance. The convention is
expected to give a hearty Endorsement
to the presidential candidacy of the
secretary Of war.

TO cover the crime, is now absolutely

body shows that the young Clifford

rifle, the bullet entering the back Of

through the neck, finally ploughing
Its way through the skull over the
eye OF the murdered victim.

officials who remain reticent.

WIFE OF the murdered man, will vet

steadfastly declares that Bachus was
carrying lamp which exploded. but
gives no explanation of the presence
OF bullet in her husbands brain.
The extreme reticence of all con-
nected with the case shows that more

California Farmer Caught Up From
Earth by Balloon.
San Jose, Cal, Sept 8.-A balloon
ascension at Alum Rock Park, Sun
day afternoon, came near ending IA
tally for Fred Biaggi. a prune ranch
or living near Alviso. 1t seems that
Biaggi had boosted to a number of
women friends that he was not afraid
to go up in the balloon, so, as the
balloon was cut loose, he rushed to
the spot and proceeded to get himself
tangled up in the ropes. The aero
maui yelled to him to keep clear, the
women screamed and there was
general panic AS the balloon shot
upward Biaggi struggled to free him
self, but not until he was so far IN
in the air that 1t was impossible for
him to drop and he was forced to
hang on for dear life.
AT an altitude of some $500 feet
the professional, balloonist cut loose
in his parachute and descended safe
~. but Biaggi was carried up and
out of sight. Then a wind caught
the balloon and carried it far over
the hills. 1t was nearly an hour be-
fore a rescuing party found the
rancher. Miraculously he was un-
injured. He hal held onto the ropes
until the balloon let him reach the
ground without scratch.

National AItruism.

Nothing fiEer has been said OF
can be said on the subject than this
which Mr.. Taft has written for q
missionary meeting. He admits
that there was a time when, enjoy
ing snug provincialism," he did
not appreciate the Importance Of
mission work, but experience in
the Orient taught him better:
No man can study the move
ment of modern civilization from an
impartial standpoint and not real
ize that Christianity and the spread
of Christianity are the only bases
for hope of modern civilization in
the growth of popular self govern
ment. The spirit of Christianity is
pure democracy. 1t is the equality
of men before God, the equality of
men before the law, which is, as
understand it, the most Godlike
manifestation that man has been
able to make. 1t is my conviction
that our nation is just as much
charged with the obligation to help
the unfortunate people of other
countries that are thrust upon us by
fate onto their feet, to be self-gov-
erning people, az it is the business
Of the wealthy and fortunate in a
community to help the infirm and
unfortunate of that community.
1T is said that there is nothing
in the Constitution of the United
States that authorizes national al
truism of that sort. Well, of course
there Is not; but there is nothing in
the Constitution of the United States
that fol bids it. What there is ir
the Constitution of the United States
is a breathing spirit that we are a
n ltion with all the responsibilities
that any nation ever had, and there
fore when it becomes the Christian
duty of a nation to assist another
nation the Constitution authorizes
is because it is the part of national
