Has Done Much Good.

What do we expect from our
senators and representatives in
Congress? We naturally expect
them to follow correct lines in
general as what pertains to general
good and welfare of the whole
country but particularly to make
special efforts to further the inter-
ests of the constituents in that
part of the country where they
live. and whose ballots have elect
ed them to the positions they hold.
We have right to expect that
every public official will endeavor
to promote the common good, and
take a special interest in his own
district and state. Senator Hans
brough who is now seeking re-
election, has for many years served
the people Of North Dakota in a
very satisfactory manner. No let
ter addressed to him by a constitu-
ent has been unanswered. He has
spared no effort to aid and assist
even the humblest homesteader to
gain his privileges under the law.
He has succeeded in doing much
good for the state in work of ma
tional legislation. He has shown
that in every instance he is with
the farmer, and against the corpor-
alton. He is not afraid to go be-
fore the people for a vindication Of
his course in congress and the
and from the very first was
il. favor of the primary election law
He is at present opposed by the
corporations and particularly by
the International Harvester Trust.
This it nothing else should be in
his favor. and it is time now to
know whether the people or the
corporations are to control matters
Senator Hansbrough is not sup
ported by Mckenzie or by corpor-
ate interests, but is going before
the people on his record as pub
lie servant in Congress, and who
can say he has not been faithful to
the trust confded in him. In
every instance he has favored the
people as opposed to corporate
power.-The (Crary) Public Opin-
ion, Ramsey Comfy, N. D.

Why wouldn't it be a good thing
for us all to be candidates all the
time-candidates for the good will,

ment, why won't they work we'll

citizen whose stake is greater than
that of mere office-getting.

Law Enforce
ment League

The Enforcement League of the
state met in convention at Valley
City March 26th, which was by far
the largest and best attended meet
ing ever held in this state. Dele
gates were present from every
county and were chuck full of en-
thusiasm. Among the noted men
present who took part in the meet
ing, where Bishop John Stanley,
Governor John Burke; candidate
for governor Treadwell Twitchell,
ex-temperance Commissioner Muir
n, and candidate for attorney
general, Andrew Miller, also many
prominent ministers through the
state, representatives from all de-
nominations. All made interest
ing addresses on the enforcement
of the prohibition law and the pro-
gress Of prohibition generally. The
question of temperance was dis
cussed from all stand points, NOR
al, intellectual and business, and
from the arguments presented it
was clearly demonstrated that the
saloon under any condition was not
desirable institution. There
were present at the evening meet
ing about 1900 people. One of the
features at the meeting was the
apparent unanimous opposition to
the candidacy of Col. q. B. Little
for Z. S. senator, based on his
record in the Legislature Of this
state in opposition to the. prohibi-
tion law, and all measures seeking
to its enforcement. Gov. John
Burke and ex-Temperance Com
missioner Murry both paid their
respects to Attorney General Nc
Cue in language forcible and di-
rect, practically charging him with
not only utter Indifference to the
enforcement Of the laws of this
state but with the violation of his
oath Of Office. Governor Burke
said that despite the fact that At
torney General McCue had been
notified by the governor in July
that saloons were being run wide
open in certain cities in this state
and instructed him to institute
proceedings, McCue had done
nothing. He declared that an Of
ticer who took oath of office and
called upon Almighty God to wit
ness that he would do his duty,
committed perjury in fact, and
that such officers were greater
criminals than the men who vio-
latedthe law by sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors. He made it plain
that the duty Of citizens was to re.
spect and obey the laws of their
country. that if the law was not a
good one, it could and should be
but that it could not be
openly and generally violated with
out loss Of citizenship and respect
for constitutional authority. Ex-

vention:
Be it resolved, That the North
Dakota Law Enforcement league
commends Gov. John Burke for
his vigorous, honest and persistent
efforts to secure the enforcement
of our prohibitory statutes thruout

practical interests, which he
has taken in his Interpretation of

with regard to all law enforcement
Resolved, That the league ex-
presses it's admiration of the earn

tory laws.
Resolved, That the fearless,
virile and judicious efforts Of Hon.
George Murry, who was appointed
to the Office of temperance COM
missioner, and occupied it until
the supreme court of the state de-
clared the law creating such an Of
flee unconstitutional: and that his
self-sacrifcing work as field secre-
tary of this league be endorsed
with enthusiasm and with graft
tude.
Resolved, That we express our
admiration and approval Of the

ten by R. B. Griffith.
Resolved, That the league use
every legitimate effort and in
Auence to secure the enactment by
the next Legislature of constitution
al amendments creating the office
Of temperance commissioner, and

neys.
Resolved, That this league ex-
press its deep appreciation of
splendid support given it by such
cooperating organizations as the
w. g. T. u, the Scandinavian
State Total Abstinence association

tions and many other friendly
bodies.
Resolved, That we record our
gratitude to Almighty God for the
progress now being made in behalf
of temperance reforms in all parts
of the country, and note it as Provi-
dental sway of human affairs to-
ward the state of righteousness
for which we have prayed and
and Of which prophets
and bards have spoken and written
in rapturous language.

Public Education.
Times.

Donaldsonville Times.
We note with regret the erro-
neous view our metropolitan
dailies entertain and in%cu1cate as
to public education. They speak
of it as a public benefaction and
undertake to discuss it from the
point of view of what they are
pleased for the nOnce to call
"the States ability"
Education is no public benefac-
ton. 1t is the highest kind of
a public duty. Under our sys-
tenn of government the maintain
ance and integrity of our institu-
tions depend on the education of
the coming generations-not in
mind alone, but in character as
we'll. This is a matter that is
vital to the State herself. It is
a matter of not only securing the
highest development, but even OF
self preservation.
For this purpose there is nc
limit to the States ability. There
may be and is in the nature OF
things a limit to the amour,
that may be be~nefcially expend
ed in any one year. We are fa1
from that limit at present. Eve
ry parish in the State is lacking
in adequate facilities. Thu
teachers salaries are not wha'
they ought to be. and too Otter
the school year is curtailed
especially in the country.
1t were we'll for persons il
authority and having the good o
the community at heart to Civ
thought to this subject and com
to a right conclusion. They ma.
also be assured that until Their
is shown a fair disposition t
do their duty in the matter @
educatiOn the best class of immi
gration will pass the State by.

The Delays of Justice.

Plcayune.
The laws delay in dealing out
justice has come to be one OF the
most serious defects in our sys
tenn for the maintenance Of pub
lie order and the protection OF
life and property of citizens.
The jails are always full OF pris-
oners waiting to be tried on
various accusations, or having
been tried and convicted are
detained. awaiting some decision
by a higher court.
OF course. the delay in many
cases is not the Immediate fault
of judicial proceedings, but is
part of the strategy for the de-
Tense. it being well known that
no criminal, however guilty. can
as a rule be convicted unless
there is a public sentiment
against him. and in case OF such
a prejudice if the trial can be
delayed for some time, the case
is forgotten and public indiena-
ton subsidies.

made up of lawyers from all
the Stotes, appointed some time
q a committee 10 recommend
changes in judicial methods,
which, if adopted, would go far
towards remedying some of the
evils mentioned. The Commit
tee formulated a report that
will be read at the National Bar
meeting. on August 25, instant,
at Seattle. in the State of Wash.
ington.
Some hints of what is pro
posed have been given out. and
among them may be mentioned
that the evil which seems most
serious to the Committee is the
disposition in many jurisdictions
to dispose of appeals or writs
of error in civil and criminal
cases upon technical grounds
and not decide them upon merits.
In the judgment of the Com
mittee the rules for deciding
appeals and writs of errors
should not be based on reversi
BILE error committed in the court
below, hut upon the merits as
the case appears upon the
record.
The unrestricted right to a
writ of error in criminal cases is
characterized by the Committee
as a fragrant abuse in judicial
procedure. These writs." the
Committee added, ARE constant,
" sued out solely for delay. The
punishment of notorious crimi
nails thus is constantly being
postponed in violation of Justice
This is especially fragrant in the
suing out of writs of error from
the Superior Court of the United

We recommend that 40 writ Of
