MAY LOSE THE JOB.

Much talk is being made in the state
press over the probable lucky ones who
shall be the appointees of Gov. Burke
for the ensuing term. 1t is understood
that editor Wilson of Bathgate is being
strongly opposed for reappointment as
oil inspector by some democrats who
have an old grudge against him IN this
county.
While this is not republican pie, and
therefore we have no particular interest
in the cutting thereof, yet if no other
reason is given for the decapitation of
Mr.Willson than which is mentioned, to
wit:-"That during the last campaign
he assisted in the election of Jud La
Moure to the state senate" 1t is of suf-
ticient interest to us to say, that while
we were an opposing political paper to
the Pink Paper during the campaign,
we never were able to notice any assist
ance that paper gave to any republican
candidate whatever. That the Pink
Paper did not deem it necessary to go
into campaign of dirty politics and lie
about and villify man whom the people
of the First District had for several
terms selected as senator from this
district, and whose last election had
been made unanimous, is true. That it
did publish many articles favoring his
opponent is equally true. Besides, the
Pink Paper had no need to do the scaven-
ger work of the party, as some of the
factional party opponents of Mr.. Wilson
in this county had hired paper for that
very purpose and so used it, though the
general verdict was that the scavenger
paper did its candidates more harm than
good by it's dirty work.
However, if the same reason is given
by Gov. Burke when he transmits the
name of successor to Mr.. Wilson to
the senate this winter-there might be
difficulty in having the name of the new
appointee confirmed by the senate.
There are not many democrats in the
senate

suburbs of Washington, meeting party
of school girls also riding, and getting
into an alteration with them about the
right-of-way. In both these matters,
one of some Importance and the other of
no moment whatever, we see the lack of
"gentleness" which should be charac-
teristic of the first gentleman of the land.
Strength so strong that 1T eliminates
gentleness, is weakness. We all admire
Mr.. Roosevelt. We credit him with
being one of the foremost makers of
history that has ever occupied the White
House. But even great as he is, he mas
his weakness.-and really, everybody
while they will regret his departure
from Washington next March. will still
breathe sigh of relief for the cessation
of sensations that will be missed there
after-under the administration of Taft.

story and such efforts as rule. when
rightly and judiciously handled, have
just the opposite effect. But it is the
people who love to tell and tattle, who
love to set their neighbors by the ears,
who forget that in this world we may
not axpect to find all things just to our
liking. Many a man never realizes how
much he suffers until some busy-body
tells him. 1t is part of the duty of the
good citizen rather to suffer some little
ills or discomfort rather than make a
row. 1t is certainly the duty of all good
citizens to prevent all discord possible
in the town, whether 1T be social, religi-
GUS, political, or private. Town fueds
are cancers on the public wealth.-most
of them are made of small things, by
gossipers and tattlers.-Put your foot on
"stories" don't fan them. Possibly the
matter is bad-but it isn't probable that
row will make it better.-Time and
patience is usually the best remedy.

MR. ROOSEVELTS STRENGTH
A WEAKNESS.

In many, indeed in most. respects Mr..
Roosevelt has been one of the best
presidents this country has ever had.
In the matter of ''initiative''he excels all
others. Brilliant, energetic, versatile,
strong, with exuberant physical health
and vigor, he has been the most specta-
cular figure that has ever occupied the
presidential chair.
But when man makes business Of
putting in his thumb into every pie, i. is
hardly possible that he will extract a
plum from each. Mr.. Roosevelt has not
only put in his thumb, but eveninserted
his whole anatomy in the political and
social pies of the nation for the last
four years-if indeed, he has not been
usy in the kitchen when the same we're
concocted-and tho wonder is, after all,
that he has succeeded IN getting SO many
plums; and so few burns.
Josh Billings remarked once "If man
wants quiet life he should avoid the
more crowded streets" Mr.. Roosevelt
has kept on the most crowded thourough-
fares all through his administration
and he has not had much of the simple
life.
His arbitrary and sef-sufficient man.
ners. legitimately begotten of actual
ability, have antagonized more people
than has ever been done by any other
president, even including that other old
semi autocrat, Andrew jackson. Hardly
a senator, and but few representatives
are personally friendly to the president,
and he has incurred the dislike or
enmity of many of the leading men of
he nation.
With the people, with whom he ha
little or no personal contact, he is
almost universally admired for his many
sterling qualities and perhaps some-
what because of his very combativeness,
as most men like to see even dog-fght.
it is human nature to like to see row
among other people.
just now the president is in turmoil
with the congress because he intimated
in his message that the members of
congress limited the work of the secret
service police to certain things and did
not allow the president to set these dogs
on any body he chose.-because the
members did not want to be investigated
themselves.
Mr.. Roosevelt could, il he had had the
tact, which he has not, have said the
same thing without giving serious
offense. Again during the week, there

HELP STRAIGHTEN OUT.

"Make my paths straight" is quota
ton, or the substance of quotation,
that is good text for the citizens of a
town. Not so much the streets them
selves, though that isn't bad idea, but
figuratively make the paths of grogress
straight and easy for the city. The man
(or woman) that helps stir up strife in
the town is actually working against the
progress of the town. Instead of making
the path ofprogress straight he is pulling
crooked, he is trying to make the town
60 in divided directions, he is trying to
make forks in the road"
There's always something in every
little Tor big) town, that isn't quite salts
factory to one; half dozen, perhaps a
larger number. By little injudicious
talk around the homes, about the streets,
in the stores, this one to that one, that
to another, and soon you can have the
town set by the ears. Maybe it is a
church trouble, perhaps school matter
perhaps merely social disagreement,
perchance it is political il we'll
famed it may make fine fire. Thus
some of the best people Of the town, the
hardest workers for its benefits, are made
to turn from united effort for the com.
munity, to become leaders of factions
who seek todestroy each other, and thus
destroy the town,-for these are part
and parcel Of the town.
This has no reference to genuine
reform movements. That is another

local office at Devils Lake dis
missed the case, when the con-
testant appealed to the COM
missioner of the general land
Office, and that office reversed
the decision of the local office
and held the entry for cancella-
ton. The contestee carried
the case still higher and appeal
ed to the secretary of the in
terror. The latter reversed the
decision of the general land
office. affirmed the decision of
the local office, and dismissed
the action. The case was
stubbornly contested on both
sides, and is a notable victory
for Mr.. McGillivray.

StockWeIi: Ambitious Den,agogue.

Fargo Forum: Friends of
Superintendent of Public In
struction Stockwell say that
he does not care particularly
about being re-elected-for the
mere ofice-but that he wants
the position 50 he can keep in
the limelight and run for. con-
gress two years from now,
Mr.. Stockwell has congressional
aspirations. He saw that the
stalwarts would not support
him and made wild leap for
the insurgent hearse which
he dirnly discerned and i'm
agined was a band wagon.
There again disappointment
met him. The insurgents
thought his conversion too
recent and named Young and
Helgesen. Being a wise man,
in some ways, Mr.. Stockwell
readily sees their fate. He
still believes he will be re-
ceived as the Moses of his
fac ction of the party and that
two years from now he may
secure the nomination. BY
using his present position for
the purpose of keeping before
the public Stockwell might
advance his congressional as
pirations but at the expense
of the school children of the
state.
