Mr.. Johnson was for two term,
mayor of the city of Minot. ]. M De.
vine in speaking of his work in this
position at public meeting in this
city recently, said it was a time and DO
sition that tried mems souls. Minot
was not different from other new
towns and there had been. as there
always will be, certain element
which insists on negative enforce-
ment of the law Usually this element
Is In control In the early DAVIS. But
as the low abiding element becomes
stronger, the other is driven out and
the city or town is improved. The
period when this change takes place
is one in which the highest ability In
the municipal executive Is demanded.
rms was the period when c. A. johns
son was called by his fellow citizens
TO become the mayor of Minot. Again
indirectly quoting Mr. Devine, MIR.

order and SO well did he do his duty

To the voter who wants to know
what Mr. Johnson's qualifications for
the oftice of governor are, his eight
years as county superintendent four
years as mayor Of his city and four
years as a member Of the state leriy-
lature ought to be sufficient answer
But these things tell another stor,
that ought TO appeal to the fair ana
open minded voter. 1t is reasonabla
that il G. A. Johnson had not made

ready fund for this purpose.
The Forum merely wanted to show
the statements OF the governor and
those Of his personal organs were
false when they claimed he had to
sign the $4,000 salary grab bin to get
money for making. trips In the inter
ests Of the state.
One OF the governors pet organs
PUSHES Silly into the soup--with the
statement that the governor has not
even spent all the $500, allowed for
years for that purpose.
If this statement is correct-it shows
much less reason and justice for the
governor grabbing $4,000 additional
under the subterfuge 1t was for trips.
1t also shows this $4,000 grab was
all the more illegal and was for extra
compassionate not for expense
as has been falsely claimed.
The governor can now go along and
annex all the $4,000 salary grab, which
he takes from the state--without hav-
ing to render an itemized account--as
required by section 1876 of the state
constitution.
This is the same constitution Gov
ernor Burke took an oath to support.

RACES AND POLICIES.

There are those who hold that all
the races Of mankind are made in q
single mould-that all men are created
equal and that all the apparent diff
ferent variations of temperament are
due to accidental rather than to in
flexible natural laws. There is not
much to be said in favor of this theory
except that 1t does not square with
the facts. There is very marked and
Iineradicable difference between tn ,
Welshman and the Englishman. They
are nourished by the same sun and
the same rains. They live within the
confines of the same narrow island,
but they are different-and they can
not be brought into intimate fellow
ship with each other. So it is with
the Englishman and the Scot-with
the Irishman and the Briton-with the
Partisan and the Breton. 1t is i'm
possible to bring them into full sym
pathy with each other. All the
waters of the Atlantic cannot wipe
out the sentiments and the feelings
that divide them from each other.
So it is with the river-divided ma
tons of Europe. Only the Danube
separates Austria from Montenegro
but there can never be any identity
of feeling or sentiment between the
wild warriors of the Black mountains
and the polished dilettanti of Vienna.
They are as wide apart as the north
and the south poles. So when you
hear Of a republican uprising in Por-
tugal do not imagine for a moment
that 1t means a republican ferment
throughout the whole of Europe. That
little continent is divided altogether
on racial lines, and the races are not
sympathetic. The black haired little
men of the Iberian Peninsula are
stirred by altogether different i'm
pulses than those which move the
Italian or the observation-disclosures
between these there is a certain de-
gree Of racial sympathy. But who
would ever dream that the fierce i'm
pulses which sway the Iberian or the
Frank would affect the colder blood of
Scandinavia or even of Germany? The
Scandinavian races are not deficient
in self-respect or in ambition, but
their aspirations take more moder-
ate range. In the United States the
Norsemen, the Swede and the Dane
are among the most valued citizens
but they are careful not to plunge
their own country into a fratricidal
war to bring about the realization of
their ambitions. 1t is different with
the Iberian nations.
The moral Of the whole story is that
while God made Of one blood all the
nations of the earth-He made them
in some respects very different. And
these differences are in many re-
spects very marked.

II NEWS AND NOTES

Grand Forks Times: In consider.
ing the qualifications essential to sue.
cess in the governor of a state. his
personal character and his public fideli.
ty, If he has held public office, are es-
sential elements. 1t has been con-
clusively shown that C. A. Johnson
has these essentials.
But if the candidate has had ex-
perience in public life and is con-
versant with public affairs, these are
likewise valuable assets in his favor.
A brief biography of Mr.. Johnson will
show that he is no amateur in state
craft. He is Ill years old and
was one of the comparatively early
settlers of Ward county. He is a
lawyer by profession, but has devoted
considerable time and attention to
public affairs. After coming to North
Dakota he engaged in teaching. He
was elected county superintendent of
Ward county and served eight years
in that capacity, laying the founda-
ton for the system in that county and
building from nothing. This required
the highest executive ability and the
fact that the people of the county
kept him in office for four terms is
evidence Of their approval.
He served two years in the lower
branch of the legislature, being elect
ed from Ward county. In this body
he was hard, though not spectacular
worker He never introduced bills
for notoriety, but confined himself to
those which his constituents and the
state needed and these he nearly all
ways succeeded in passing. He never
allowed a measure to come to vote
without knowing it's every essential
and his mind was always made up be-
fore the roll call started This ex-
perience would give him a decided
advantage in dealing with executive

THE LUXURY OF HEAT.
This Country Annually Burns Millions
of Dollars Worth of Firewood.


Boston Transcript: When coal first
began to find a place in the general
economy it was largely the fuel of the
rich. Now, except in the rural Sec
tons, the conditions have been re-
versed. The latest estimate of the
forestry service, necessarily only ap-
proximate, Is that the people of this
country annually consume firewood to
the value Of a quarter of billion dol
lars. Yet there has been a steady
falling off in this respect, and that for
obvious reasons. Thirty years ago,
with less than two-thirds of the popu-
lation that we have now, and a lower
cost for all forest products, the annual
consumption amounted to value of
nearly a third of billion. .
These thirty years have witnessed
the most rapid exhaustion of wooded
growth in the history of this or any
other country. What will the figures
show thirty years hence? The open
wood fire, which at once provides
warmth, cheer and the best kind Of
ventilation, has never lost its place
in popular affection. But for its cost it
it would still challenge displacement.
Rich people are putting moregflreplaces
in their houses than for many years,
and builders advertise them as special
attractions. But they have become
luxuries, and every year that status is
being emphasized, so that the dreams
that the leaping flames inspire will be
enjoyed only by constantly narrow
ing circle.

Trains Going West.
NORTH DAKOTA INDUsTRIALLY.

= North Dakotans-if they were thor
oughly familiar with the entire state
would be prouder of the commonwealth
than they are. It's a great big world
and the eastern part of it doesn't ap-
preciate the immensely of that section
west OF the Missouri river.
Fargo is the financial and the COM
mercial center of North Dakota and
has prominence in this respect which
will make it difficult for any other
city in the state to supplant it. There
is no denying, however, that the vest
ern half of North Dakota is destined
to become the industrial center-when
it's real resources are properly known
and intelligently exploited.
Lack Of cheap fuel and cheap power
is handicap to the eastern edge of
the state and is likely to continue no
indefinitely unless natural gas can be
found in sufficient quantities to solve
the problem. The transmission of
electrical power, generated from the
cheap coal in the western part of the
state, will relieve present conditions to
some extent-but the cities in the GEN.
trail and western counties will always
have an advantage in this respect as
to cheapness.
Added to the fuel and power which
IL found and can be developed so
cheaply in the western part of North
Dakota is the fact they have raw ma
terials, which the eastern counties do
not possess. Clays, said to be the fin
est In the United States for brick
making purposes, are found in all Sec
lions undertake with Ignite coal. These
clays differ in quality to some extent,
but the poorest will produce finer brick
than the best in this section.
Besides the brick clays there are
higher grade pottery clays that can be
nodded into shapes, which rival the
finest products of European pottery
centers The clays of the western part
OF the state are fitted for thing, sewer
pipes and dozens of other things that
range between bricks and pottery.
The country out there can produce
as fine grains as the valley and has
the advantage in fax, the straw of
which promises unlimited possibili- |
ties in manufacture when its value Is
properly appreciated and it's qualities
scientifically utilized.
The advantages are with the western |
counties in many other respects in an
industrial way The Missouri river
means much in the development of
that section for pure water and trans
portation. There's a great world out
there scarcely scratched. 1t is teening !
in potentialities which the brain and
foresight OF some men will sooner or
later properly exploit and develop.
