zen has right to his own opinion and
to attempt to deprive him of such right
is species of tyranny that will never be
tolerated under the present administra-
ton.
ltis universally acknowledged that
Governor Burke in his board appoint
ments has been eminently fair and the
welfare of the state institutions has
been his one and only consideration
We happen to recall that on the board
OF the Institution for the Feeble Minded
at Grafton, Walsh county, (the county
of the Park River Republican,, the Gov
ernor appointed j. E. Gray and w. c.
Treumen of Grafton, both prominent and
influential members of the republican par
ty, and on the Board of the State Uni
verslty, located in the county adjoining
Walsh, he appointed H. T. Helgeson of
Milton man high in the republican par
ty and late candidate for Congress on the
republican ticket. He also appointed on
this board Judge N. c. Young, former
Chief Justice of the state and a life long
republican. That the matter of politics
of these gentlemen were not regarded as
hlndrance to their appointment by
democrat governor is self evident; and
1t Is convincing proof of the honesty.
patriotism and good judgment of Gov
ernor Burke that he recognized the
eminent fitness of these men for the
positions named and secured tothe state
the great advantage of their services
without for moment considering the
question of political expediency.
The governor in common with eyerv
citizen of the state, is proud of the
achievements of Prof. Ladd, Pres. Mer-
rltield, Pres. Worst, Prof. Bolley and
other splendid men connected with our
state institutions and for the opponents
of Gov Burke to seek to prejudice his
candidacy by a scare taat these gen
tlemen will be disturbed as matter of
politics is the acme of political knavery.
The spirit of fair play which abides
with every Individual will not tolerate
this style Of political warfare ana it de-
serves the wholesale condemnation of
every true citizen of North Dakota.

Democratic Nominee fo1 Co. /udge
The position ofthe COURIER DEMOCRAT
has always heen that all things being
equal the man who has served in
public position for any time is better
qualified to serve the public than new
man. This explanation of our position
at this time is called for by the comment
of the Milton Globe last week to what
in a previous issue the COURIER Demo-
Graf had to say ia sunpori OF the candi-
dacy of /. Z Dorval for re- election to
the office of Judge Of the county court
Our position is not one ut objection to
the new mar Judge Dorval'S opponent
on the ruhican cket +. w Bleaklev,
but is based ON The fact that the man
who can render the most good in the
position is the man who should till this
responsible office
Judge Dorva. even hy those who op,
pose him, Is admittedly an efficient and
faithful otficial AID though in some
quarters opposed i4r political reasons
the admission l., readily granted by the
oppostlun that '.u better official can be
found As u trnurr of office there is no
comparison bet0ern the county judge
shl, and other offices on the county
tich ct Judicial matters TO be property
conducted may almost be SAID to require
the continuous services of an incumbent
and the r. ercuun of an experience
tried official NhU has been faithful to
his duties. and has given as general a
satisfaction TO the tax payers as Judge
Dorval uas for - many years. we con-
tend is the proper thing to DO.
In the above contention We are sup
ported by the fact that many county
| judges IN North Dakota have been
elected for many successive terms. For
instance: Grand Forks, Ward, Pierce
and Rolette counties among others. If
the Milton Globe as a republican organ
is sincere in its effort to keep the
judiciary out of politics why does it try
to raise a point of long service against
such an efficient and tried" incumbent,
who has served with as signal ability
fairness and faiUhfullness as Judge
Dorval

Few II any men are better known to
the older residents of Cavalier county
than W. H. Speckmann, the democratic

bor-everybody can truthfully and glad
ly say a good word or do kindly act
that will help "Speck" win out in the
canvas he is making for election this

fication and personal popularity that
will make the vote cast for him on cleo
tion day one that neither he nor his
friends will needs feel ashamed of. We
do not ask the voters to cast their bal
lot for Mr.. w. H. Speckmann because
he is one of the best fellows on earth
which he most assuredly is-but because
he has the qualifications and possesses
the fidelity and fearlessness of character
which go to guarantee that the Office
will be properly looked after. He has
been resident and tax payer in this
county for over twenty years. His home
for long time was here in Langdon n

RESTORED THE
DEAD TO LIFE
Fdthef.in-LaW Of Harry Beach
Brought Back to Life by
Him After Doctors Had
Declared Him Dead

Harry Beach, an electrician, en-
ployed by the Hughes Electric CO.,
returned Thursday from Grand Forks
and tells a remarkable story of the
coming to life of his father in law
after two doctors had declared him
dead and had sent for an undertaken
to prepare the body for burial.
Beach's father in law is a hostler
in the Great Northern round house
at Grand Forks and recently was ter
ribly crushed by an engine backing
against the round house wall. Beach
was called to the bedside of the in
jured man, but the doctors said he
was dead when Beach arrived. Beach
was struck with the lifelike appear
ance of the supposedly dead nan and
expressed the belief that he was not
dad, but this idea was secuted b. the
medical men.
After the doctors left and before
the undertaken arrived Beach rails
ed his relative to |, sitting posture
and began rubbing his head and
hands and was astonished to find the
body warming, and soon after the
man opened his eyes and breathed
naturally. The doctors were recall
ed, and when Beach left the Forks
his father in law was in fair way
to recovery, but the mystery of the
case is a great puzzle to the doctors
and the mans family, though, Of
course, there is great rejoicing in the
latter.

Beautiful Sight

The display of the aurora borealis
last night was one of the finest ex-
hibitions of that mysterious power
which on certain occasions illumine
the northern heavens with all the
hues of the rainbow and few others
mixed in. Huge curtains of colored
lights hung in the northern skies with
that beautiful waving effect incident
to this phenomena and presently the
curtains grew until the zenith was
reached and there hung like half
opened umbrella waving in the wind.
Bright swords of light were flung
across the sky from east to west and
altogether it was one of the grandest
display Of northern lights seen in
| many day.
