ATTORNEYS In
D0RSE JUDGES
The Attorneys Of the State in
Session at Fargo Endorse
Fisk, Cooley and Ellsworth

The new system of electing
Judges of the Supreme Court
without regard to p arty is
about to be tried for the first
time, and the people find them
selves somewhat at loss to
know just how they are to get
the necessary information to
enable them to iutelligently
vote.
Heretofore candidates have
come before the people with
the recon- mendation of their
Party organization, and, to the
credit of Parties, it may be said
that they very seldom abused
the confidence of the people by
recommending unfit men for
these judicial positions.
A number of ne ewspapers over
the state have commented edi-
torily upon the situation to the
effect that under this new sys
tenn it was the duty of the law
yers of the state, who knew of
the qualifications of various
candidates, to take some posi-
tive stand, and say to the peo-
pie who, among the candidates,
were best qualified for the po-
sition to which they aspire, and
would best maiutain the stand
ing of ourhighest court.
Partly in response to this at
titude of the press the leading
lawyers of the state have got,
ten together and formed an or
ganization known as the Com
mite of One Hundred of the
Bar OF North Dakota, with the
purpose of conducting a cam
paign for those candidates who
they believe to be best qualified
to serve as judges. This orga-
nization has its headquarters
at Fargo, and included in its
membership at this time more
than a hundred lawyers who
do more than eighty per cent
of all the business that is done
in the Supreme Court.
AS guarantee of the stand
ing of this organization, and
the good faith of it's endeavor-
ere, it is sufficient to say that
it's President is Elk Chief JUS
tice Corliss, and at the head of
the roll of members are found
the names of Elk Judgns En-

gerud, Young and knauf, the
only men now In the state be-
sides Judge Corliss, who have
served as Judges of the Court.
Associated with them are lead
ing members of the Bar from
all parts of the state, and more
are continually joining in with
the movement
The ordinary voter does not
know who is qualified to hold
the position of Judge and who
is not, and he has no means of
learning except by taking the
judgment of lawyers in whom
he has confidence, and assum-
ing that they, familiar with the
Court, and knowing the quail
fications of the different candi
dates are able to tell him who
is best qualified to serve the
interests of the state.
This organization has taken
the stand h a the present
Judges, Fisk and Ellsworth,
who are candidates fo- re elec
ton, and the Honorables Chas.
Cooley, who is for the first time
a candidate, are possessed Of
superior qualifications, a n d
that in the best interests of the
state and the people those men
should receive support at the
coming election.
AS far as the people of Rich
land County are concerned they
should need no further guaran
tee of the fact that the three
men mentioned are entitled to
support than the knowledge
that the practicing lawyers of
Richland County have sodidly
endorsed them, and have joined
the Committee of One Humid.
red, pledging them their sup
port. No county in the state
has a stronger Bar than Rich
land, and this we think is gen.
orally recognized by the people
and when the lawyers of this
county, who are continually
opposed to each other on op
posite sides of cases in the su.
preme court say to the people
these men are the best qualified
to sit and Judge of our cases,
and we on both sides are will
ing to entrust our cases to them
then the people will not be act
ing intelligently if they vote
contrary to such recommends
ton.
Every vo te r in Richland
County should cast for the
three men named; there is no
politics in the matter; candi.
dates for Judge appear on a
separate ballot without any
heading, either Democratic or
Republican.

INTEREST GROWS
IN BURKE BOOM

Pushing Candidacy Of North
Dakota
That the presidential boom
started at Devils L a k last
summer for Governor John
Burke, on Democratic day at
Chautauqua will not down, is
evidenced by the many friend
ly newspaper notices given the
governor in many of the lead
ing newspapers of the country.
The attempt of the little cotiere
of peanut politicians in North
Dakota to belittle the candi-
dacy of our distinguished gov
ernor is availing little, except
to show how small the average
republican heeler can be when
lie is working under ord RS.
Recently Col. a. B. Curling
of Devils Lake received letter
from Hon. Frank A. Day, sec
retary of the late Governor
John "A. Johnson of Minnesota,
and one of the leaders Of Min
nesota democracy, in which he
says:
"There is no question but
what Governor Burke is of
presidential 8 ize He is of
strong character, has unique
personality and the faculty Of
attracting frieuds-friends who
believe in his sincerity, ability
and his future usefulness. If
he should carry North Dakota
this year by good majority,
you would be justified in ask
ing Minnesota and the adjoin.
ing states to cooperate with
you in an organization looking
to his candidacy for national
honors.
minnesota democrats will
anxiously watch the outcome
in North Dakota and if your
people give him a vote of con.
tidence at the coming election,
you can count on Minnesota
democrats TO be with you in
using every honorable means
to exalt aud nationalize your
distinguished chief executive.
shall watch the outcome in
your state with a great deal of
solicitude."
From the great state of Iowa,
where the democrats have a
lighting chance of winning this
fail, comes another cheering
letter. Judge Martin ]. Wade,
of the leading democrats of the
Hawkeye state, writes as fol-
lows:
ain Iowa we consider John
Burke as a prominent candi-
date for the presidency in 1912;
at the Ottumwa convention
tine democrats were much in
terested in the fight he is max.
ing and if an offer had been
made there is little doubt but
what the convention would
have given him a strong en-.
dorsement; it was not deemed
advisable, however, to make an
endorsement of any candidate
at this time. but the democrats
of Iowa will watch the fight
in North Dakota, and if he
wins his fight it will place him
in the front ranks as the choice
of the Iowa democrats for the
White House."
Similar letters have been re-
ceived from prominent demo
cratic leaders of nearly every
western state, and there is no
question but what North Da-
kota will attract a whole lot OF
attention in the democratic ma.
tional convention two years
hence.
Far-seeing democrats appre.
ciate the fact that the next
candidate must be man who
can draw the support Of Viii
liam ]. Bryan and his friends
if he is to win the election, ano
this Governor Burke can do.
No wander the gang republi
cans of North Dakota do no
take kindly to the meution o
Governor Burke for President
they have reason to be worried

NEED ART sA6lY IN HTSs Rec D' Ring

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1s-'Tf American
manufacturers viii give the unfortu-

M. Canady. OF Vera Cruz. Mexico, in a
report to this government says.
1.-The use of artificial limbs at least
in this consular Jurisdiction, has al
ways been restricted to the fortunate
ones able to pay for the usually costly
substitute, for in nearly every instance
it is the unskilled operative who proves
to be the victim, one whose daily or
weekly stipend is not large enough to
warrant the purchase. Steam and electric
roads since their Introduction in this
country are in a great measure re-
sponsible for the many crippled per-
sons seen here; yet even among people
that could afford the cost of an artificial
limb, there are proportionately very few
who make use of one."

CALHOUN RAPs YELLOW
PAPERS, POLITICIANS
Street Railway Owner Also
Attacks New Nationalism in
Convention Speech

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 1s.-Politicians.
muckrakers and yellow journals were
scored by Patrick Calhoun. president
of the United Railways OF San Francis
CO. in an address before the convention
OF the American Street and Interurban
Railway association yesterday. Mr.. Cal
houn showed that he had had some ex-
perience with the politician who. from
the platform declares that the interests
must be driven out of politics, but
who secretly accepts favors from corpor-
ations in the shape of contributions to
his campaign fund. He declared that
there was but one safe rule to follow
with such men.
"A politician" he said. who will not
enter by the front door should be barred
from the back door,
The railway corporation, according to
Mr.. Calhoun, has no protection except
the good viii of the political boss and
is open to "cinch" bills. anncyances and
balckmail of every character. He said:
I'm every city of the country the
problems of street railway transporta-
ton are receiving the attention OF the
most skilled and competent men and
yet. no questions affecting our city life
have created more virulent, demagog1c
attacks. have been discussed with less
intelligence or more bitterness. The pol
itician. the yellow journal and the muck
raker have combined to misrepresent the
position of the railroads.
Managers and owners are falsely
charged with being the chief source Of
corruption In city government and the
effort is being made to separate them
from the balance Of the community.
They are denounced as the enemies of
society. The result OF these attacks has
been in notable instance, in the city
of Cleveland, to throw a perfectly solv-
ent, splendidly managed property into
the hands OF receivers"
The doctrine of the new national
ISM was scored by Mr.. Calhoun, who
said that under it the individual has no
rights. He asserted that the advocates
of the new nationalism assert that the
public must not only supervise the meth
DDS by which man acquires property,
but that after IL has been acquired, the
government must see that II is put to
the proper use. Can the theory of i'm
perial despotism rise higher?" asked Mr..
Calhoun.

JUDGE HUGHES TO PASS
ON LAW He HAD VETOED
Counsel in Missouri Rate Case
Says Executive Vetoed
Similar Act

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13,--By coinci-
dence the third case to be argued be-
fore the supreme court of the United
States after Justice Hughes became a
member of that tribunal was one in
which a high compliment was paid to
him as governor of New York.
1t was regarding the validity of the
Missouri 2-cent passenger rate law of
1907. In the argument of the case in
the United States circuit court for the
western district of Missouri attention
was called to the fact that Governor
Hughes, OF New York. had vetoed a
similar law in his state because the
legislature had not given the matter
sufficient consideration. 1t was argued
the same thing applied to the Missouri
law. --
Governor Hughes had the moral cour-
age to veto a measure of popular IA
vor," said Judge Smith Mcpherson, 'in
holding that the consideration Of the
legislature was immaterial in this case,
because, as he believed, the question had
not been fully considered. But the re-
lations of the government to the pro-
posed legislation and that of a court to
legislation contaminated are entirely
different" ~
= Nevertheless the judge held the law did
not grant a reasonable retum to the
railroads. Now Justice Hughes is to
pass in Judgment on the opinion of the
Judge. Arguments on the validity of the
passenger law and the maximum freight
law of Missouri enacted in 1907 win be
concluded today, according to arrange
ments entered into yesterday when the
argument OF the cases were begun.
