linger-Pinehot Investieat-
ing Committee.

Washington, Jan. 10-The insur-
gent Republicans in the house Of rep
resentatives are walking around with
chip on their shoulders.
They have no fear that Speaker
Cannon will avail himself of the OPP
portunity the senate committee on
public lands gave him of attempting
to reverse the vote by which he was
upset Friday.
'. Welcomes a Test.
I'VE will welcome another test of
strength with the Cannon organiza-
tion," said Representative Norris of
Nebraska. Mr.. Norris was the au-
thor OF the amendment to the Bal
linger-Pinchot investigation resolu-
ton, which was carried in spite of the
speakers opposition.
u will guarantee that the speaker
will be defepted more decisively and
more humiliatingly than he was be-
fore If he tries another fight" he con-
tinued. we will not only hold our
forces together, but we would have
additional votes and they would be
delivered by men who are now looked
upon as staunch organization men.
The fact of the matter is that the
anti-Cannon sentiment is becoming
strong, that many members of the
house cannot stand up against it
much longer if they wish to continue
in politics. The tide has turned and
the defeat of the speaker Friday is
but the beginning of series of de-
feats which will ultimately drive him
from his seat of power in the house"
House to Appoint Committee.
The Cannon contingent did not
change their plan of letting bygones
be BECOMES and it is still proposed to
stand by the will of the majority ex-
pressed Friday and let ', the house,
rather than the speaker, appoint the
house members of the Ballinger-P Pin
chot probe.
Nevertheless the insurgents and
the Democrats are not going to over
look any bets and they will remain
within shooting distance until the
Joint resolution providing for the in
vestigation is adopted by both houses
as they want it adopted
The speaker cannot expect any
Democratic support if he tries again.
Representative, Fitzgerald of Brooklyn,
the only Democrat who voted with
him Friday, declared that he would
change his vote if the roll was called
again. 81 cannot believe" he said,
chat the senate will countenance the
action of its committee on public
lands. To send resolution to the
house authorizing the speaker to APP
point the committee after the house

PREPARING FOR next
"SPELLIN' SKULE''
ALREADY PLANS ARE IN PRO.

TEST HERE.
Every County Will Be Represented
at the Coming Contest-WilI Be
Held Early in Spring.

Already preparations are in order
for the next state spelling contest,
which will De held in Bismarck in
1911. The rural school pupils all over
the state took such an interest in the
last contest, the finals of which were
held at Bismarck early in the spring,
that the plan proved to be much more
Of a success than had been anticipa-
ted. and it was Immediately decided
that the annual state spelling con-
test should be a permanent affair.
After much correspondence and
comforting it was decided by the CON-
mittee that there should be an entire
ly new list of words for the next
contest. and unique method of com.
piling the list was adopted.
The plan is for every county su-
perintendent of schools to prepare
about 200 words, beginning with GER
tain letters. The committee consists
Of five members, and to each member
is assigned approximately eight coun-
ty superintendent as assistants, and
each superintendent is expected to
report to the chief. A good list OF
words is to be selected from what
ever source the superintendent de.
sire, so long as only disable words
are selected. which are likely to come
into the life of the pupils in writing,
speaking or reading such books as
are ordinarily read. No word is to
find it's way into the list simply be-
cause it is difficult or "freakish," and
words that are so easy as to require
no preparation are not wanted.
BY having every county superinten.
! dent assist in the preparation of
this list it is thought greater va
riety will result, as some have access
to sources that are not available to
| others.
Naturally there will be some forty
six lists prepared because there are
! that many counties, but it is certain
that some of the words will be du.
plicated, and others may need to. be
eliminated for other reasons. The
completed list is to contain approxi.
mately 1000 words. which will be the
| only words used in the final test.

piled TOR Before Judge Winctester--
Continued to August IS.

Before Judge Winchester the appli-
cation T. II. PooGa for writ OF GER
tiorari to review the proceedings OF
the military court martial which tried
Poole for various military offenses
and sentenced him to- dismissal from
the national guard OF the state, came
up and at the request Of Attorney
General Miller, who appeared for the

Peake, the present adjutant general,
who was a party to the proceedings,
was absent from the city OH the en-.
campment of the state guard at Far
go, and the proceedings were there
fore delayed until his return:
Attorney Edward Engerud appeared
for Mr.. Poole, and said that the pro-
ceedings had been filed last year and
he thought they should be disposed
of in order that final Judgment may
be rendered, but he would not oppose
the request for delay If it was desir-
ed to have General Poole present.
The application for certiorari
aims to bring up for review by the
civil court the action of the military
court which tried General Poole eigh.
teen months ago. and found him gull
ty of offenses charged by the COM
mander in chief, Governor John
Burke.
Now it iy contended by General
Poole and his attorney. Edward Enge-
rud, that the court martial was with
out any jurisdiction to try General
Poole, and a motion is made to set
aside the verdict Of the court martial
which, if granted and sustained by
the court. would place General Poole
upon the retired list of the state
guard and nullify the proceedings OF
the court martial.
