all In their power to4remedy Industrial
conditions. The bill to relieve all fu-
ture embarrassment in financial cir
cles, submitted by Senator Aldrich, the
astute f1nancier from Rhode Island is
ample evidence of that fact. It IS to
this Senator that the members Of both
houses Of Congress have looked from
the first to frame, measure that
would adequately meet the exigencies
of the rnonied interests OBJ

to electra new and inexperienced man,

There is but little doubt that: The
Neche Chronotype got the best of it in
the argument with. the Gretna people, |
and Lampman} is receiving congratuia-I
tons from all sides for the stand he
took.-Edinburg Tribune. 81 i

Bryan is well within the limits of truth
when he declares that Governor John
son, Chanler and others who haveI
been mentioned" as possible demo-
cratic standard bearers, are being
brought out by the interests. which
are opposed to his candidacy. The
same identical interests" are trying
to defeat Rooseveltism by .'plugging,|
for Knox, Cannon, Fairbanks and
Hughes. =, 1t is practically certain, how
ever, that the choice of the people will

be the presidential nominees of their
respective parties.-LaMoure County

/ Senator Hansbrough has offered a /
cure for the deficiency in the Aldrich
banking law that makes the bill more
acceptable than it was as first offered.
In the original it was provided that the
deciding of when a money stringency

partment, to his recent appointment
as commissioner Of the land office, has
been rapid and his success pleasing to-
his old North Dakota friends It lis
all the more gratifying because of the
unusual fact that his preferment has
come through personal, rather than
political influence. His appointment
as assistant commissioner was made
at the request of Commissioner Ball
niger; who Had observed Mr.. Den
nett's official career2in Seattle and IFS
elevation to the head. Of the general
land office was also made by the presi-
dent at the request of Secretary Gar
field, and entirely without influence OF
request from either Senator Hans
brough Or Senator Met umber.: who
were not advised BY President Roose-
welt Of the appointment until after it,

was gratifying and entirely satisfact-
|ory4to both Of our senators. -Langdon
