SENATOR SIMPSON went on record
in the legislature this week as be-
ing convinced that that portion Of
the primary law which gives the
people a chance to express them
selves in the matter of choice ofU.
S. senators is a wise provision. In
s%econding the nomination speech
for M. N. Johnson, MI. Simpson
declared that the people of North
Dakota had shown great intell-
igence in the matter and he was
satisfied that the majority Of re-
publicans wanted the man who is

The appointment of Attorney
Carmody of Hillsboro and At
torney Ellsworth of jamestown as
supreme court judges seems to
give general satisfaction. 1t was
not expected that Gov. Burke
would name republicans for the
two supreme bench positions, but
in the selection of Mr.. Ellsworth
the state gets what is termed a
progressive" republican. He
has been employed in a number
of important legal questions TAX
en- to the higher courts and is
looked upon as an able jurist.
Mr.. Carmody is one of the old
line democrats, and he has the
reputation of being a very honor
able and capable attorney.
Politically the supreme judges
now stand three republicans and
two democrats.

The Hettinger county papers are
printing stories about an electric
line from that point to Dickinson
and at the same time Editor Hurd
tells the Legislators in Bismarck
that it requires nearly a thousand
miles travel to reach this city and
therefore he reasons that Hettin-
ger needs an experiment station.
1t would be a nice thing for the
county seat of Adams to have an
experiment station, but the work
would be a duplication of the
work done at Dickinson, but
seventy miles north, and North
Dakota is not expected to put
state institutions in as lavishly as
this. :

The election of Senator M. N.
Johnson for a full term of six
years was accomplished in the
legislature on Wednesday, he re-
ceiving the full republican vote.
There was no struggle, no trading
and dickering as has been the
practice in former sessions of the
Legislature. The election was dig
nifed and was made with out dis
turbing the regular work of the
legislature. The voters indicated
their choice at the polls and the
members of the senate and house
ratified the action. This is as it
should be and will result in great
good to the party. Another
commendable feature of the cleo
ton of u. S. senator this term, is
the absence of all scandal. Hon.
N. Johnson went before the
people in a quiet way and made
his campaign without the ex-
penditure of money and without
making promises.

When Senator Tillman says that

the obvious fact is that his hatred
has driven him outside the re-
gions of common sense.
Indeed, a similar state of mind
is the no less obvious fact in all
the congressional attacks upon the
President of the last few weeks.
Every member of Congress
knows Individually, and Congress
itself may be said to know collect
lively, that the following things
are true:
First. President Roosevelt
stands before the country as a
man who has led in securing GER
tain great, much needed and very
popular legislative and admins
trative reforms.
Second. Congress is for the
most part regarded as a body
leaders have stood. so far as
practicable, in the way of these
reforms.
Third. Neither the sincerity of
the President nor his honesty in
his public work has been at any
point impugned in all that his en-
emies have charged against him.
Finally. Even were the charges
of minor errors and inaccuracies
made against the President true in
every detail, the people of this
country would attach no partic-
ular Importance to them because
of the manifest motive behind
them. Such being the case, why
cannot the country be given a
little rest, even before the expir-
alton of the present Congress and

atty Without Tremor.
Union City. Tenn, Jan. 12.-Without

demning them to pay with their lives

In passing sentence Judge Jones de-
clared that he could see no mitigating
circumstances, mentioned by the Jury
in the return of the verdict, and con.
sidered that but compromise to some
members of the Jury who hesitated to
pass the sentence Of death. Thus he
felt that the responsibility had been
placed on him, a duty which he would
not shirk.
The six nightriders sentenced to
death and two others sentenced to
twenty years in the state penitentiary
have been placed in Jail at Jackson
and will be held in close confinement
to await the action of the state SUI

State Bar Committee Finds
Judge Root of Seattle Guilty
Of Gross Improperly.
Want GRAND JURY TO PROBE
Dickered With Great Northern Over
Money Matters and Accepted
Transportation.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 1.-THE state
bar association committee appointed
to investigate the conduct Of Judge
Milo A. Root, who resigned as a judge
of the supreme court two months ago,
made its report Saturday. Judge Root
was recently elected for another term
of six years. His resignation affected
only the term to which he was elected
two years ago. If he fails to qualify
Monday, Jan. II, the Office will be de-
clared vacant.
The committee finds that Judge
Root has been guilty Of gross impro-
priety, which units him for the SUI
preme bench.
Findings Are Sensational.
The report makes these conclusions
and recommendations:
That Judge Root had correspond
ence with M. ]. Gordon, attorney for
the Great Northern Railroad company,
concerning money transactions.
That Judge Root accepted from the
Great Northern and other railroads
free transportation.
That Judge Root filed as the opin-
ion Of the supreme court an almost
verbatim draft of an opinion dictated
by M. J.. Gordon, attorney for the
Great Northern, in the case of Harris
against the railroad company.
Some Points In Doubt.
The committee is unable to obtain
any facts to substantiate the rumors
of the giving out of advance informa-
ton concerning the decisions Of the
supreme court.
The committee is unable to obtain
any facts to substantiate rumors Of
bribery and corruption.
The committee holds that the con-
duct of Judge Root in receiving free
transportation is highly censurable
and requests the Judges Of the supe-
rior court of Spokane county to call
grand Jury to investigate fully the
yumors Of corruption.
Decide Course In Future.
Believing that its suggestion will be
acted upon, the committee feels that
II is only fair to withhold any other
recommendations.
Whether such inquisition be held or
not. the supreme court and the state
bar association will then confer to
reach basis for further action or
proceeding.
