Wife says there are several kinds of club
presidents There is the gentle voiced

suspects that it is Just plain greatness that
IS her distinguishing qualification. There IS
the glad, efferveScent club president who
regards every meeting as her own private
party, and plays the hospitable hostess TO
perfection, scattering flowers of speech
about her. including everyone IN her glitter
ing generalities, and has a dynamo so big
that all present may take their little magnets
to her TO be recharged. There IS the school
teacher type OF club president, who NAV

come into line and behave.

schoolma am type of president. because they
have TO be lntlrnldated into good behavior

count OF real estate restrictions, lust the
same as III mems clubs. still they are not
alike. However, the women are developing.
All real growth is slow. For example, when
women first began to organize IN clubs. they
had to pay fine when they were absent. A
woman club then differed from a man S
club in that a man could stay away when he
wanted to and a woman couldn't. Wife in
forms me of this trifiing bit of rerniniScence
She says that was a long while ago. How
ever, even to-day no WOrnanS club is con-
Quoted in the least like mans club. and
any clubWoman who seeks to conduct her
self IN her club as her husband tells her 10 is
sure to do 1t all wrong. Directly the rnaScu-
line thought Is srnuggled into a woman s
club meeting, everyOne's feathers turn the
wrong way and there IS no end of trouble
Wife assures me of this, and she ought TO
know. She belongs to fourteen clubs, in
cluding the Moral Prophylaxis Society,
which she has recently joined and not for
getting the Pet Dog Club, which is not
member OF the federation, and two afternoon
card clubs.

Disciplining the President

WHEN a woman 5 club has an unpopular
president the insurgents have methods
OF torture all their own, not necessarily Seri-
Gus, although that depends upon the attitude
OF the president toward herself. The presi-
dent should be broad minded woman who
doesn't mind gadfiy torture. She mustn't
mind seeing an old fashioned picture of her
SELF IN the newspapers, for example. neither
must she care about an ANONYMOUS letter
now and then, nor few comic valentines
IN February. II she is strong enough to
dodge these missiles and escape nervous
prostration, then she is not only a club
able woman, but she IS also qualified Tor
leadership.
The test Is a telling one. Wife tells me the
only way to do IS to pay no attention To uu-
friendly communications, to drop them into
the waste basket and pretend YOU did not
receive them. She says that one time 4 cluh

MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVANCE.

With the exception of "Old Glory"
being in evidence in different parts of
the city-two ball games played during
the day public offices and banks
closed and a half-holiday taken by bust
ness houses generally there was nothing
doing in the way of appropriate observ-
ance of Memorial Day in Langdon this
year. Not because u people are lack
ing in public spirit and patriotic feeling,
but owing to there being no movement
with a proper head to it Perhaps
another cause to be assigned is that
Langdon's band has been allowed to
drip out of existence during the past
six months. Langdon of late years has
not had any military organization to
take the days program in hand but on
Memorial Day in years past the city
authorities, the various churches and
the schools have by uniting efforts given
Memorial Day such a fitting observance
that Langdon citizens have been able to
feel proud of. Our citizens individually
are not subject to censure for tho neglect
of proper observance of the day this
year, but let Langdon as a city try
and appreciate that the slight shown
it's honored dead in 1910 is a lesson that
all have so we'll learned that it may not
BIZ repeated in years to come. Ball
games and holiday making are not and
should never be the main features of a
Memorial Day, they are not out of place,
however, after the real duties of the
day have been observed. First should
come the decoration of the graves;
patriotism should be enspired by stirring
addresses to young and old, murtial
music and Old Glory from every
flag pole in the city. Let it not be said
another year by the few old veterans
who make Langdon their home that our
townspeople are becoming so sordid and
absorbed by their business affairs that
a little attention cannot be shown to
the fallen heroes of 1S6l-65.

1.-THE GOVERNORS SCALP"

The Fargo Forum, employing one of
its choice figures of speech, advises the
republicans of the state to ''get Burke's
scalp" in the coming election. 1t treats
of the election of Burke as something due
to a sort of madness on the part of the
voters, asserts that Burke will not be
able to fool the people a third time, and
says that as the governor has turned
down the insurgents in the distribution
OF "pap" it is not to be expected that
they will vote for him. Therefore, all
hands are to unite in a determined
eHor to throw out of Office a man
whom the Forum would have its readers
believe to be an interloper, a good-for-
nothing, and a political accident.
John Burke was elected governor
nearly four years ago, not by office
holders or office-seekers, but by men who
believe that under the existing cireum-
stances the best interests of the state
demanded and required his election.
There were not nearly enough democrats
in the state to elect him, and his election
was made possible by the votes of men
who were then and are now republicans.
The management of the republican
party had deliberately forced on the
state nominations which were thoroughly
unacceptable to the rank and file of the
party, and we're known to be so. 1t was
fortunate for the state that the demo-
Gratis placed in nomination for the Office
OF governor a man who was both strong
and clean. and who had the confidence
of the people, and to that man turned
republican voters who refused to be
bound by the action of party leaders
who did not represent them or their
sentiments, John Burke was elected.
and he made good.
Because the governor made good in
his first term he was given a second
term, the people who had voted for him
IN the first place voted for him again:
as a matter of justice and as an express
sion OF confidence. And again the
governor made good. He has shown
himself to be thoroughly fitted for the
office, and he has performed his duties
with fairness and good judgment.
Governor Burke has made some mis-
takes. He is human and fallible. The
Herald has been one of his heartiest
supporters, but it has not hesitated,
when such action appeared to be called
tor, to point out what it believed to be
his errors. But it has not doubted, and
does not doubt, that sven whom mis-
taken, he has been acting in what he
sincerely believed to be the best IN
tesesr OF the state. And, while, like all
other men, the governor has make mis-
takes, they have been few in nun Der,
and not serious in character. No man
Of whatever party who voted in either
election for John Burke has any need
to feel the slightest regret for that act.
The Forums suggestion that be-
u the governor had turned down
insurgents in matters of patronage they
might be expected to vote against him
out OF revenge is about what might be
expected from the Forum. It happens
that Burke was not elected by people
who wanted patronage, and instead of
being aggEisved the insurgents have
