FOR The QUIET SEASON
Some Notes and Comments That Will
Interest Fargo Council During
the Hot Months.

Owing to the extremely hot weather,
coupled with the vacation season,
travellers have not been much in evil
dence the past week, and will prob
ably not be for the next couple OF
weeks. The old adage Necessity is
the mother of invention" is again
brought to our attention by wise trav-
cling men, who carry a pocket tele-
phone with them, selecting a cool and
shady spot, comfortably arrange them
serves and proceed to call up their
customers, soliciting orders, thereby
saving themselves the time and labor
OF. climbing stairs and wasting env
ergy in the hot sun.

News Summary of the Past Week

Associate Justice Edward Douglass
White of the United States Supreme
Court is TO be elevated to the chief
tusticeship. President Taft has sent
the nomination to the Senate.
President Taft is still worrying about
his Supreme Court appointments. The
refusal of Senator La Toilette to go to
the White House to consult with the
President about the matter has not
added to the latter's peace of mind.
1t is known that the President fears
Senate combination which will re-
ject any appointments he may mako
and force the question of filing the
Supreme Court vacancies into the
next Congress and before a Senate
which will probably be controlled by
the Democrats, and the insurgent Re-
publicans. In order to avoid this calam-
ity, the President has submitted to n
number OF senators list of the nine
men he is considering for the Supreme
Court The list has been permitted to
reach the press. 1t is believed that
the President is anxious not only to
placate the senators but is desirous Of
sounding public sentiment.
