SPEAKER BURDIC|kI|,
DIDN'T VOTE Twice

Editor Tribune - In the controversy
over Senate Bill 81, locating the state
fair at Fargo permanently, many mem
bers and spectators were underline i'm
preston that Mr.. Burdick voted twice
as member from Cavalier county and
as Mr.. Speaker. This is erroneous
Speaker Burdick voted but once, when
"Mr. Speaker was called, which vote
would be the vote of member from
Cavalier county, and the result of such
vote made tie The speaker then an
nounced the motion lost.
Now, let US see if he is right:
We take the following rule of the
national house of representatives and
print it for the benefit of those who
may have any doubt on the subject:
"The speaker must vote when bal
lot is taken" In this case the vote
made a tie. Further, the rule says ::
"Where a ballot results in a tie the
motion is defeated The speaker SIM
ply announced such to be the fact in the
case of the Fargo fair bill and did not
exercise second vote to defeat the
measure, and, in justice to him, it is
no more than right this should be made
public, so that the people will be ap-
priced of the facts and not be lead into
a misconception. J. 7. MoRR1s.

Frank A. Wilson of Bathgate has
been reappointed as state oil inspector,
Notwithstanding the reports that have
been circulated that the place was apt
to go to younger member of the par
ty. 1t has been stated that Mr.. Wilson
was not active enough in the senatorial
election in the first district to please
some of the Democrats and that this
would prevent his reappointment.
Nevertheless Mr.. Wilson has been hon
ored with a reappointment and his NOM
nation was confirmed immediately upon
its receipt by the senate. MIR. Wilson IS

BOOST FOR EXPRESS COMPANIES

BOOST FOR EXPRESS COMPANIES
Fargo Call: The Northern Pacific
has placed in operation a new ruling
which will materially affect small
shipments. The company fixes it's
minimum weight for figuring of
freight tariff at 100 pounds and the
freight charge on any shipment will
be the charge on 100 pounds in it's
class. For instance, the rate per 100
pounds to Bismarck is 81 cents in a
certain class; a shipment of 20 pounds
or so pounds will be billed at 62 cents,
the minimum for computing charges
being 100 pounds. 1t is believed that
the effect of this ruling will be to in
crease the express business to the
detriment of the freight business.

PRESIDING OVER THE SENATE

In Mr. Sherman the senate Will have
a presiding officer thoroughly familiar
with parliamentary procedure, says the
Washington Star. He has often been
called to the chair in the house, and has
always ruled to the satisfaction of that
body. He is prompt and fair, and an
expediter of business. He will be en-
tirely at home in his new office.
Going back thirty years We come to
the case of Gen. Arthur. He had had no
experience in legislative life, and there
was some speculation as to how he
would like the duties of the vice presi-
dency. But he did not remain in the
office long enough to test the problem.
The extra session of the senate in the
spring of 1881 was very short, and be-
fore the regular session began death
had transferred Gen. Arthur to the
White House.
Mr.. Hendricks, who followed, had
many years before been a senator, but
was not parliamentarian, and had he
lived might have found his new duties
difficult.
Mr. Morton, who followed him, was
likewise inexperienced as presiding
officer, as also was Mr.. Stevenson, who
came in with Mr.. Cleveland in 1898.
Mr.. Hobart followed, and while a ready
man of business and personally popular,
was largely guided in the chair by
promptings from the desk.
Mr.. Roosevelt took hold valiantly, but
was soon in distress. The rapid firing
from the floor was too much for him,
and there was some puzzling as to what
would take place in case of 6rst-class
shindy with nice parliamentary points
factor in the game. His service in the
chair, like that of Gen. Arthur, was
short, and he, too, was transferred to
the White House by death.
Mr. Fairbanks had served but few
years in the senate when called to the
chair, but he showed at once his readi-
ness and capacity, and has made an ad-
mirable presiding officer. He has the
temperament that goes with the Office
when its duties are broadly considered.
He is as fair as a judge on the bench,
keeping the rules always before him,
and interpreting them without the re-
hottest suggestion of partisanship.
The senate has never been at disad- |
vantage by reason of the inexperience
of the vice president Its selections of
an understudy have always been we'll
made. Mr.. Edmunds served for years
in the best manner. Mr. ingalls,, for all
of his tartness in debate on the floor,
was while in the chair a model ruler
Mr.. Harris of Tennessee showed the
same change of spirit whenever he left
the floor for the chair Waspish as a !
debater, he was, as presiding officer,
kind, clear, impartial to- the last de-
gree, and he often, even when the re-
publicans were in power, presided
Mr.. Frye rules like the veteran, that
he is and is universally trusted and re-
spected. The whole procedure is a, b,
to him, and he hustles matters along
without friction. The most complicated
question finds him ready, and his de-
cisions are brief and to the point, and
as satisfactory to one side as to the
other

The bill introduced by Senator Crane
to prevent the intermarriage of white
and colored persons has been passed by
the senate and house and has also been
passed by the legislative assembly Of the
state of South Dakota, showing that the
reasons for the passage of this bill are
apparent not only in North Dakota but
in other northern states.

FLOWER DAY
 FUR THE SICK An Annual Festival For City-
 Wide Observance PREPARATIONS UNDER WAY
It Is Proposed to Place a Bouquet In Every Sick Room In the Community OnSunday April25--Names of Sick People Wanted.

Rev. J. A. Geissinger. pastor of the
 First M. F. church, has established, ! or is engaged in so establishing, an annual festival in this city to be known as Flower Sunday. It is a church in stitution only insofar as someone must organize and start every project of that sort and he has elected tO under take this work through his church or ganiZation. The purpose of it is one in which the whole city should and doubt less will join, regardless of creed or the lack of il.
 The object of flower Sunday is simple, for it consists only in seeing that bright. freshly cut flowers are placed in every sick room in the city where they are wanted. on Sunday, April 25. the date selected for the an- nual observance of this custom. There are scores of sick people in the city who seldom or never see a flower, and most sick people yearn for them. At this season particularly it should be a craving easily satisfied if those who are not sick will give the matter thoughtful attention, for nowhere can flowers be grown in greater profusion or more enchanting variety.
 It is proposed to have a special com mittee attend to the work of securing and listing the names of all the sick people in the city, together with their addresses, while another committee se- cures the names of those who will do- nate flowers from their gardens. In the meantime any person who has flowers to give. or who knows of the whereabouts of a sick person. is re- quested to inform Rev. Geissinger by postal card and he will pass the in formation along to the proper com mittees.
 On the morning of April 9 it is re- quested that all who have flowers to donate will bring them to the church In the meantime, the visiting com mittees will have grouped the names of the sick according to neighborhood, for quick and effective delivery of the flowers, which will be distributed by means of automobiles.
 This movement, it is expected. will become city-wide and that all will CO., operate in every possible way to make the day a memorable one, at least for the afflicted of the city. Flowers will be sent to St. Luke's home, to St Joseph's hospital, to the county hos pital, to the tenteolonies in the neigh borhood and to every home or private apartment where flowers may be de- sired by sick people, providing the committee is informed of the address There will be a meeting of the flower committee next Monday. the commit tee being a large one and composed of women, and the thing the public is asked especially to do now is to send in the addresses of the sick
