Senator Hansbrough's cent

Senator Hansbrough's central
bank idea appears to be along the
right lines provided he can keep it
free from the domination of few
bankers, who from their past record
would use it for their own bene-
fit. In other words, if all bankers
could be assured of the same treat
ment in times of need, the propo-
sition appears to be good. But
why not make the central bank a
strictly government institution?
The government could furnish the
elasticity in the currency necessary
in times of stringency with i'm
partially, if it could be done at
all.-Crystal Call.

STAIWARTS HAVE ALSO HELD
SESSION

The insurgents heidi a meeting
in Fargo last week at which time
they completed their organization
by agreeing upon a committee
consisting Of four johnson men
and four Marshall men, and pro.
vided for a large campaign fund,
Marshall contributing $4,000 if
the rest of the ticket raised $685.
600. making a total of $4,000 for
the insurgent campaign, and the
Grand Forks Herald admits this
is none too much with which to
conduct a campaign under the
primary law. There was quite a
fight between the johnson and
Marshall men, the johnson forces
thought Marshall should withdraw
in favor of johnson, but a CON-
promise was made whereby four
committeeman were appointed by
each faction, and the eight will
select the ninth, so it looks as if
they are divided on the senator
ship.

You can write any of these things yourself if

expert operator on the Oliver. Because the
Oliver is the simplified typewriter. And you
can see every word you write. About 80 per

because it has about 80 per cent less wearing
points than most other typewriters.
80 per cent easier to write with than these

require Observation-Disclosures knowledge
long practice and special skill to operate.
Than machines which cannot be adjusted to
any special s~pace-withw which it is impossible
to write abstracts, insurance policies, or odd

special attachments requiring experts to
operate.
You can adjust the Oliver to any %easonab
sptce-you can write on anv reasonable.size

with out the aid of any expensive attach
meut or special skill, and your work will be
neat appearing, legible and clear.

A few weeks ago a number of
the Wilton leaders presented to
the board Of county commission
ers Of Mclean county, a petition
for the good OF their town that
they may be allowed to jump over
the fence into Rurleigh county.
but our county fathers realized the
danger in permitting the bewil-
dered children to strike out among
strangers and commanded them to
stay at home, their prayer being
denied the petition died in infancy
About the same time some Of the
wide-awake citizens Of Garrison
wanted to do something for the
good Of the country, got up a pc
tition, that, in the interest Of
economy, they ought to be set
aside in a county by themselves.
A few days ago a couple Of patrl-
otto citizens Of McClusky were
touring the county, seemingly in
the interest Of their thriving city
as a prospective county seat, but
were evidently too timid to make
their wants known. We cannot
help but appreciate the good inten-
tons Of all those fellows, but when
we stop to analize the merits Of
their proposition, we can hardly
agree with them. Mclean county
as it is today is rapidly climbing
to the head of the column as a
wealth producing county, as we'll
as in population, it is now begin
ming to be recognized as one of the
most important counties in the
state, and if maintained as a whole
will command an influence in state
affairs that would be a source Of
pride to her citizens. The county
seat is of very little import
ance to a progressive town, just
think of Washburn which has been
the county seat of King Johns do
main for over twenty years to &C.
quire the fame and metropolitan
air that she now possesses. If the
people of Mclean county are fool
ish enough to divide it into three
dinkey little counties, we will each
be placed on the level with Oliver
and Mercer counties and would
seldom be heard of for years to
come. We have too much faith
in the wisdom of the taxpayers of
Mclean county to suspect that
they will assume a heavy extra an
nual tax to establish and maintain
two more county seats in order to
a satisfy few individuals who want
to be county officers Under
wood Republican.
