of the board of registration before TIE
city election to be held in this city on
Monday April 9Th.
Judge Engerud, a member of the
legal fraternity at Fargo, who in the
political campaign of a year ago figured
prominently, is here attending court this
week.
District court visitors and high degree
Masons from towns all over the county
have each contributed their quota to
the crowd of visitors that have thronged
the hotels of Langdon all this week.
Judge Jno. f. Cowan and Miss Laura

So guests of Miss G. q. Mcmillan dur
ing their stay in the city.
@. Tetrault was here Monday from
Fremont township with a young French
Canadian for examination by the board
of insanity. Evidence shows that the
young man, who is about thirty years OF
g is, in all probability, a resident of
Manitoba, and should therefore become
a charge of the authorities on the other
side of the line.
On Wednesday evening Of last week
MI. and Mrs. VIM. Stevenson entertained
the members of the Presbyterian church
choir in honor of Mr.. e. Moore, one of
their departing member, who is leaving

years. After a very pleasantly spent
evening in which quite a social time was
enjoyed dainty refreshments we're served,
following which Mr.. Stevenson, in behalf
of the choir presented Mr.. Moore with a
handsome gold locket and watch charm,
rendered as a small token of the esteem
in which he will always be held by those
who have for many years been able to
appreciate his services as one of their
number in the choir.

Hannibal entered northern Italy Ia
the year 21S B. C. and gained during
that year the two victories of Tcinus
and Trebia. both in Cisalplne Glul.
The next year he advanced elrther
south and defeated the Romans at
Trasymenus. and the year following,
having proceeded still farther south,
he inflicted upon them the terrib'a de

remained for thirteen years longer,

THE GORDON BLEU.

At First an Order For Women Cooks
Establishes by Louis XIV.
When you hear man spoken of as
Gordon bleu" you know he is a
great cook. but few people have any
idea Of how and when the expression
originated The Gordon bleu was at
first an order for women cooks. 1t
was established by a king-which

thar only men could cook really well.
The famous beauty challenged the as
sertion. bat The king insisted that he
was right--thut women might be all
right for boiling potatoes and per-
forming The simpler operations of
cooking but that when it came to a
work of art It took man.
Soon after this argument the royal
favorite invited the king to dinner.
He praised every dish. be even ex-
pressed his august approval Of the
menu as, whole. Then his hostess
triumphantly announced to him that

dishes to the preparation Of the sauces
and the sweets and the serving of the
several plats. Accordingly she claimed
the foundation of an order OF merit for
her female cooks The claim was at
once granted and the Gordon bleu
was first conferred upon the women of
Nine du Barry's kitchen.
Gourmets of today would be inclined
to say that, however great the cooks
Of Nine du Barry may have been in
their day, the dictum Of Louis XIV
would be true today. There are now

BY gibson GARDNER.

WASHINGTON. June 2S.-The
above program sounds rather COM
plex. but It is after all quite simple.
II is one way 10 defeat the passage
/ OF an income tax after Aldrich has
discovered that there are a majority
OF three votes in the senate in favor
OF such an amendment 10 the tariff
act. The three votes favored an
amendment drawn along the lines OF
Taft's recommendation in his letter
Of acceptance. when he said that
constitutional amendment was, in his
judgment. unnecessary, and when he
urged that the question be resu0'
mitted 10 the supreme court.
There are two great forces which
are arrayed against the constitutional
amendment for taxing incomes. They
are:
l. The opposition Of people VINO
live on the proceeds OF invested
wealth.
2. The opposition OF the favored
class OF manufacturers who profit by
the tariff system.
East Against Income Tax.
Geographically considered the cas-.
is against an income tax. whether IN
the form Of the present law or fu'
ture constitutional possibility. There
are more people in the New England
states living on the interest OF IN
vested wealth than in any other see
ton Of the country. There are enough
people in states like New York.
Massachusetts, and the other sur
rounding group whose incomes are sc
derived 10 dominate the legislatures
OF their states and make those legis.
latures unwilling 10 ratify the pro
posed amendment 10 the constitution.
Working along the same lines Will
be the manufacturers who enjoy the
benefits OF a protective tariff system.
The plan for raising revenue by
direct tax on incomes is regarded by
such manufacturers as a menace 10
/ the general protective scheme. The
more revenue that IS raised by IL.
rect taxation the less revenue will
! be needed 10 be raised through Gus
toms house taxation. II $4,000. 000
year is permanently added 10 the
Income OF the United States by 4
tax on incomes. II will be necessary
TO raise that much less revenue each
year by duties on imports. The re-
suit will be an inevitable demand
| for a revision downward Of the tariff.
Twelve Can Defeat II.
The joint opposition of the tariff
people and the people who live on
/ invested wealth u expected TO find
expression in the opposition Of
dozen states TO the constitutional
amendment Two-thirds must ratify.
IL would be sufficient 10 defeat.
The killing or the corporation tax
will be a simple matter IL won't
be necessary 20 fight this in the open.
Members Of the senate can vote and
talk in It's favor. They can be very
noisy in showing how much they want
such a law. Republicans and Demo
Gratis can join Ia voting for the amend
ment TO the tariff law. The men who
have the final say viii De that power.
full trio. Aldrich. Hale. Penroe. II
will be up 20 them as members OF the
conference committee 10 support the
corporation tax as against the house
amendment for an inheritance tax
Just how vigorously Aldrich and Hale
will fight 70 retain the corporation
tax In the bill may be left 70 the
imagination Of the reader. When the
conference is over they Will emerge
and Say that this waue one OF the
