TO PUT DOG TAX FEE
on DOCTORS

PORTLAND, April 23.-The COM
mittee on licenses has decided to
recommend to the council that a
tax or license fee of 81 year be
imposed upon physicians of this
city. A delegation of physicians
spoke before the committee, urg-
ing the passage of the ordinance.
Owing to the loose state law, it
is difficult to convict certain prac-
ticianers, but 1T is hoped by means
of this ordinance to regulate the
granting of certificates, and all
persons not having the required
certificate on display may be prose-
cuted.

Gronna Has Made Good

Mimic Journal: Congressman a..
j. Gronna of Lokota, who is can
didate for reelection is every day
making new friends throughout the
state because of his work in the
present session of congress. He has
commanded the attention of the en-
tire assembly by the strenuous work
he has been doing for the people he
represents. His last work has been
along the line to secure better grain
inspection, matter that would put
many dollars in the pockets of North
Dakota farmers, but of course every
inch of this bill will be contested by
the warehouse men and big grain
dealers. His record in congress
shows that everything he has done
has been for the welfare of his con-
stitutents in North Dakota, and ev-
cry time that a measure has come up
that was for the people of the north
west, he has been found on the right
side and with the people all the
time. He should be returned to con-
gress with big majority vote, show
ing that the people Of North Dakota
appreciate a good man.

more elements of permanency in the

in TRAIL COUNTY
HOW THE POLITICAL SITUATION
LOOKS IN THAT INSURG-
ENT COUNTY.

Correspondent in Fargo Forum,
M. N. Johnson has substantial fol-
lowing of sympathizers over the
county, and this faction seems to be
considerably in the majority over the
Marshall lineup. AS evidence that
Marshall's friends are showing their
hand in his interest is the fact that
a short time ago when Johnson was
at Mayville trick was turned
whereby he was prevented from max
ing speech as he had intended and
which was his object in visiting the
normal town. That deal has engen-
dered considerable disgust among the
Johnson faction in the county and
they are determined to prevent Mar
shall's strength gaining any proper
tions. Col G. B. Little of Bismarck
stands well in Trail county. and
were it not for the fact that Johnson
is in the race this county would be
for him almost to a unit as against
such candidates as Hansbrough and
Marshall. Little is admired for the
business like campaign he is con-
Quoting and for the manly manner
in which he is treating his oppon-
ent here, NJ. N. Johnson. Little is
conceded to be an ideal man for the
place and considering the peculiar
condition of affairs this county is in
at present, the colonel has reason to
feel proud of the standing he has
in this county.
It cannot be found as yet that
there is any opposition to regular
republican candidates for the depart
ment places at Bismarck. Smith at
Wahpeton, who is a candidate for
Stockwell's place, has a strong stand
ing here. A prominent county poll
tician in Hillsboro today said that
Stockwell was long way from hav-
ing this county for him. Consider
able work is being done here in the
interests of Carl O. Jorgenson for
state auditor. Blaisdell for secre-
tary of state, Cooper for insurance
commissioner and Gilbreath for COM
missioner of agriculture, have easy
sailing here and there is no danger
of these candidates having oppose
ton in this country.

The Issue in jamestown.

In the Jamestown precincts to
elect delegates to the county conven-
ton a strong interest was manifest
ed as there were two tickets in the
field, one with names of delegates
favoring Harry Wassert as a candi-
date for the national republican con-
vention, the other ticket of delegates
favored John Severn, who is not a
candidate for delegate to the nation
al convention but desires an endorse
ment as candidate for appointment
as postmaster which Office he is now
filling as acting postmaster. Dele
gates favoring both Wasser and Sew
ern are for Taft, for the presidential
nomination.
The result of the city caucuses
favored the Severn delegates who
we're elected in three wards, the sec
ond, third and fourth, while the
Wasser delegates carried the first
ward. The result in the third ward
was almost a tie, the last vote being
cast just as the polls were closed was

An Interesting Explanation of Roose'

The April American Magazine con-
tains a notable article on Roosevelt
by s.K''. tx" says he has known the
President rather intimately for ten
years, and that, Ssince it is every
mans right to relieve his mind on
the subject of Roosevelt once in life
time he cannot longer withhold his
accumulated opinions. emotions and
convictions.
ssK's'' idea is that Roosevelt is not.
genius. He says that he is just a
common man organized up to the 9th
power. Here is a part of his interest
ing diagnosis of Roosevelt:
cit is common to meet men of far
less fame than Roosevelt who give
one peculiar feeling of greatness
of some transcendent quality of gent
us which is above and beyond the
reach of mere human capacity. In
talking with many people who have
met Roosevelt for the first time l
have been impressed by their COM
ments upon his familiarity his com
ments upon his familiarity his COM
monness.' He is just like one of u.s.
tsI recall distinctly the first time 1
met Roosevelt. 1t was at Oyster Bay
before he was elected Governor of
New York 1T was warm afternoon
and he had been bathing in the bay,
and came up dripping and putting,
with his hair streaming sea water.
We shook hands and sat down to-
gether on a bench near the bath
house and had a good talk. / have
tried Gin vain) to imagine such an
experience with Gladstone-or Elihu
Root! I have understood that man
who meets j. P. Morgan for the first
time slowly shirvels up and quietly
disappears through a crack in the
floor provided for that purpose.
'tNot so Roosevelt. Roosevelt, is
familiar. He does not act familiar,
he is familiar; he is Just like one
of u.s. He is Teddy to half the
nation Many of those who meet
him Familiarity speak the things we
talk about, not as a political artifice,
but because he thinks them and
can't help it. AS have heard him
say more than once:
ST am no genius. The things 1
talk about are not new; they are
plain, familiar principles of right and
wrong"
Our regular army is manifestly
unfit and unable to serve the pur-
poses for which it exists. It must
lean upon the national guard, says
Rupert Hughes in "Our Falstaffian
Army" in the April New Broadway,
for a large proportion of the coun-
try's defense. The national guard
needs recruits, and finds them almost
as hard to obtain and to hold, as does
the regular army. The national
guard leans upon the people the
able-bodied citizens who have most
to gain and lose in their national
welfare. It behooves every man,
who values his birthright, to.do his
share toward coercing congress and
fitting himself and his country to
stand four square to all the winds
of the world. AS it is today, a
zephyr would shake our towers. Il

On Over-Eating.

On Over-Eating.
The insistent desire to have a GER
tain degree and character of appe-
tite not infrequently leads to con-
sulting the physician. Still more
common is the obsession that the
APPETITE must be gratified, the suppo-
sition being that the desire for food
is, in the growing child or in the
adult. an infallible guide to the
amount needed, though it is mat
ter of common knowledge that this
is not true of infants or of domestic
animals. II one leaves the table
hungry, he soon forgets it unless in
ordinately self-centered, and he has
no more desire to return than to go
back to bed and finish the nap so
reluctantly discontinued in the MORN
ing.
/ have heard the theory advanced
by an anxious forecaster Of future
ills that all unnecessary food, if
packed away as adipose tissue, serves
to nourish the body in period fstar-
walton. Assuming that the average
Individual need consider this stress
of circumstance, I am strongly of
the impression that the best prepar-
alton for enforced abstinence will
prove, not layer of fat, but the
habit Of abstinence. The nursery
poet says:
The worry COW would have lived till
now
IL she'd only saved the breath.
She feared the hay wouldn't last all
day.,
So she choked herself to death.
The quantity Of food proved by
experiment to suffice for the best
work, physical or mental, is sur
prisingly small. A feeling of empti-
ness, even, is better preparation for
active exercise than one Of safety
