The Sargent Mcclure fight for the
school superintendency was of more
than passing interest because of the
activity of the Law and Order Leag-
ue. 1t was generally admitted that
Sargent had signed the Leagues
agreement to support only such
nominees as it might endorse. On the
other hand it was stated that Nc
League, had been asked to sign the
agreement but had refused. There
fore there was some unkind enough
to question McClure's name-blown-
in-the-bottle Republicanism.

We have, it seems, according to
certain discoveries Of this latter day,
artificial panics, artificial reductions
of business, artificial financial strin-

industrial and financial difficulties, all
in the interests of politics. 1t is
charged now that the decreased traf-

of wages are all artifciallly brought
about, through certain malevolent in

postoffice appropriation bill was UNI
der consideration in the house today
but the discussion under license of
general debate took a wide range.
Speculation in cotton, finance, tariff

the session. Mr.. Sims Of Tenn,
spoke in favor Of the Burleson bill to
abolish dealings in cotton futures;
Messrs. CLANCY of Indiana, and Lind
berg of Minnesota, talked on the
financial question; Mr.. Hitchcock Of
Nebraska, pleaded for placing on the
free list of wood and pulp and print

the floor. for brief periods.
A general debate on the postofice
appropriation bill will conclude to-
morrow at o'clock, when it will
be read for amendments.

CREAMERY
FOR STANTON

Stanton, N. D., March 4.-Last
week a number of men assembled
at the court house to discuss the
creamery proposition. 1t was de-
cided that the cooperation plan was
the best, and that an agreement
should be circulated for the purpose
of getting pledges for as many COWS
as possible, on the basis Of $1,000
Of capital stock to each COW. That
is, if man pledges ten COWS he
thereby subscribes for $4,000 CAPT
tai stock, if he pledges rs cows, he
takes $4,000 capital. stock, It was
also decided that a sinking fund
should be established on basis of
five cents for every 100 pounds of
milk furnished. There must be at
least $50 cows pledged before it
would be save to organize. On the
above plan $50 cows at $1,000 each
would make $3,50O.oO, the amount
which it was thought necessary to
build and equip such creamery as
we would need.
The meeting was adjourned until
Monday, March 2, at which time
articles of Incorporation will be ex-
ecuted and bylaws adoped. Reports
should be sent in as fast as possible
and as soon as the requisit number
of COWS is assured, an ice house
ought to be built and filled, as the
river will soon be breaking up and
then it will be too late.

The length Of life Of queen bum

disappear. Nature does not supply in

So the loss Of the power Of flight at

THINKS TAFT WILL WIN

THINKS TAFT WILL WIN
National Committeeman Alexander
Mckenzie, who has been in the east
for several weeks, thinks Taft will
be the republican nominee, and that
Bryan will lead the hosts of the dem
ocrats. Mr.. Mckenzie has been a
warn, friend of President Roosevelt
and was one of those who felt that
the president should be a candidate
for reelection, and that he could be
such a candidate without any viola,
ton of propriety or precedent. Now
that MIR. Roosevelt has finally declar.
ed he will not be a candidate, Mr..
Mckenzie is friendly to Taft and has
assured the president that North Da-
kota will be for him, and that so far
as he is concerned in the national
committee, there will be no success.
full effort to handicap Taft's chances
by any ruling or action adverse to
his interests. In the Pioneer Press
of st. Paul, Mr.. Mckenzie is quoted
as follows on his return from the
east:
New York is for Hughes, Penn.
sylvania is for Knox and SO is Massa-
chusetts. New England is all anti
Taft except Connecticut, which I
think he will carry. Indiana is for
Fairbanks, Illinois is for Cannon, Wis
consin for La Toilette. But Mich.
gan, Iowa, South Dakota, Minnesota.
North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Wash
ington and others out on the coast, in
fact all the western states that have
no favcrite sons, will be for Taft.
In the south Taft will get two-thirds.
The sentiment in the south is for
Taft, and he has all the states so
far, but there are some contesting
delegations.
"But the element of strength in
Taft's candidacy is that he is the sec
ond choice in nearly every case. He
is in New York and probably in most
of the states that have favorite sons
This makes his nomination certain
ty on the second ballot. But believe
he will be nominated on the first bal
lot.
1T will be better for the party if
he is nominated on the first ballot.
1t will mean better harmony. You
know when candidate is nominated
on the first ballot there is less to ex-
plain. When a candidate has the
numbers against him, he will usually
be good. But when he is defeated
after several ballots he will have lots
of ways of figuring out how he might
have been nominated if certain things
had happened. 1t always leaves sore
spots when several ballots are re-
quired &c. ..t.
"On the democratic side it looks al
most certain that Bryan will be nomi-
mated. In New York / heard some
anti-Bryan sentiment and some senti-
ment for Bryan, so it is a mistake
to imagine that the east is entirely
against Bryan.

Al WITTY JUDGE.
His Conclusions on Tho Evidence Of
Ditto and True.

Ditto and True.
The late Hon. Noah Davis, well
known throughout the country as the
Judge who tried and sentenced Boss
Tweed, was Justly celebrated in many
ways. He was Of that type Of jurist
for which western New York was
famed during the half century follow
ing 1850. Orleans county is proud Of
him as one of her. noblest and most dis
tinguished sons. He was slightly
above medium height, full habited,
large head, fine, clean cut face-fndeed,
a striking figure in any community. He
was well read lawyer, an honest,
fair minded Judge, with keen sense
Of humor and withal something of
writer and poet. The following lines
from his pen, written on the spur OF
the moment and in the midst of q trial,
illustrate the alertness and quality OF
his mind. They are perhaps the best
play upon words of which we have any
record in the English language.
It was at the Niagara circuit In the
early seventies. Judge Davis presided.
An action in ejectment was called.
The dispute was over party wall or
q division line. It was purely q cues
ton for the EVIL engineer. Z The divi-
sion line established and the case was
won. The defendants attorney, realiz-
ing this, called as expert witnesses the
Hon. John A. Ditto, city engineer OF
Buffalo, and the Hon. A. r. True, the
engineer who constructed the canta-
lever bridge over Niagara river at the
falls. They were two Of the most emil
nent civil engineers in the state. They
made survey Of the premises and es-
tablished the division line as contended
for by the defendant and when called
to the witness stand 50 testified, giving
monuments, courses and distances with
such minute exactness that they could
not be successfully controverted. The
moment True, who followed Ditto as a
witness, left the stand, Judge Davis
wrote these lines and passed them to
