thing and anything that will help build up the north
western section of the state and as means to-
wards this end, know OF nothing that has come
up in the past, come up in the future, quite
big and good the Normal school, question
which will be voted upon by the people of the state
at the general election in November. Somehow be-
tween Progressives and Stalwarts, tariff and free
trade Ballinger and Pinchot, this far more impor-
tant subject to- our people, has seemingly got lost
in the shuttle Certainly, it will not only be mis-
fortune, but crime, if our people, for Individual
ambition, and advancement fail to get together and
unitedly and continuously work for this institution
which means SO much to every man, woman and
child in section OF the state The business men
of Minot must wake up, both for their own personal
interests and for the good of the country. That
we should have Normal school is an admitted fact
That this great section possessing onethrd Of tho
school population Of the whole state, demands the

The best plank in the platform adopted at Stanley
which declared thusly, 1--WE do not view
with alarm the division within the republican ranks
known "Stalwart and Insurgent'' but rather feel
that good strong opposition within the republican
party is for the best interest of the party: We
would second that sentiment 1t has long been &C
know1edged that opposition party serves its part;
that it helps keep the party in line that is power
pose but in late has not been strong enough
to have the desired influence When we get down
to apply this principle, we see the advantage Of
having this division in the republican ranks. Here
after the republican party will not only be the party
in power but It will furnish its own opposition The
democrat party has been performing this service
and has rarely been rewarded for It's work. The In
surgents and Stalwarts nfurnish opposition for
each other and keep each other in line for the party
good and for the best interest Of the state. Does
anyone anticipate that the division of the party is
going to effect permanent division. This may be
the hope Of democracy but it is all dream. The
republican party WI stick together when commerce
is being carried on between this earth and Mars.
They not enemies but friends. They cannot be
enimies. Stalwarts and Insurgents are a unit when
it comes to party fidelity and party integrity They
will not suffer the republican party to Re dtsgra ed
state dishonored. The people OF the state
have given each halt Of the officers and It is up to
both factions to give the state their best service
each will be watching the other and there Is no
doubt in mind but that it will result in good We
then dispense with democratic opposition and
leave democracy to struggle along and make monkey
faces at the republicans if they wish-Pa2a Pioneer

IN HOTEL HOBBIES
Anniston Is Thriving


 H. P. Salver, general agent for th' Louisville and Nashville, was in Bir mingham yesterday. lie said the furnact at Anniston would resume operations within few days and that business from every viewpoint was looking uf considerably.
 We. residents of Anniston are very much pleased with the business outlook, :; said MT. salter
 We have been told that the furnace of the Woodstock Iron company would be resumed very soon. That means a great deal 10 our city. The other indus tries are running fine over in our city and from every indication we are to have a rather busy fall.
 "The cotton and corn crop in our eoun- ty is very fine. The cotton plant is TO- bust and fine looking. We expect from what the farmers tell us that one of the best crops that has ever been raised in Calhoun county will be gathered this sea son.
 The farmers and people of Anniston are very much interested in the state tar to be held here this fall, and it is probable that large number will be in Birmingham for that event. Ne have been told that it will be better than ever and have every faith in the statements. We have been boosting Birmingham's fair all the time and hope to see a great crowd attend every day"

timent, and the preferences of the voters will naturally be controlling.
 In New York state republicans in the cities of New York, Buffalo and Roehes- ter will hold primaries. and the result in the three cities will practically deter mine whether the machine or the pro gressives will control the Saratoga con vertion of September 27 Whether James Schoolcraft sherman is 10 be elected temporary chairman of the con- vention-whether direct primaries shall be indorsed or denounced by it.
 Every day is a political day at pres ent and today will be one of the warm est of the entire season. for both New York and New Jersey were once eonsid- cred trustworthy democratic states, and they may become so again.

Colonel Roosevelt At Home Again

On Sunday last Colonel Roosevelt re- turned to his home at Oyster Bay and no doubt in the present week will be inaugurated all the steps that are to be taken looking to a control by the pro- gressives of the Saratoga convention.
 Wherever MT. Roosevelt talked during his long tour in the middle west he did not hesitate to denounce political bosses and to uphold direct popular action In politics. He also expressed a great many other Bryanesque views, and he pretty fully identified himself with the radical side of the present political up- heaval, He is the Roosevelt of old with larity of the more radical utterances of the two great popular leaders is in- deed remarkable. The one is a progress sive republican and the other a progress sive democrat. Both are built that way and neither could we'll be a conservative in anything. Both believe there should be corporations provided those corpora tions can be controlled, regulated and su- pervised by the government of the peo- pie. Both desire to divorce the corpora tions from politics.
 All this is plain. and it is plain that MT Roosevelt has placed himself at the head of the progressive movement in his own state But how far he will go in his state and what he will demand at the Saratoga convention remain to be developed. These are epochal days in politics, especially in the pivotal state of New York, and the student who de- sires to keep up with the progress of events will do well to watch the dele gate from Oyster Bay, in Nassau eonn- ty, to the Saratoga convention in the closing week of the present month.

AMENITIES

From the Washington Post.
 Off with the new loves and on with the old, is the original programme of Affinity Earle,a he of the sad eyes, the wistful whiskers, the sub-divided heart, and the many soulmates. He's sick of wandering and of the new faces. Af- yearns for his first love, his first wife, the quiet and peace of the fresde, and is now on his way to Paris, where he hopes to meet Emily Fischbacher. whom he sent away so that he could marry Miss Julia Kuttner his affinity
 MT. Earle says he is not feeling well, and that he is tired of wandering. 7. We hope 1t is not a case of when the devil was- sick, the devil a monk would be, and when the devil was we'll the devil a monk was he" Anyhow, he Is now go- ing to put to the test the great 4pes- ton of the day, Gan a man come back?'
 In his campaign for forgiveness, Earle is going to try the method of the wom- an who borrowed jar and returned it cracked. She said it was cracked when she borrowed II, ana, besides, she had never borrowed it, anyhow. MT. Earle intends to say to his wife that he is sick and tired of the affinity business, and that his first wife, therefore, should for give him. and, if she doesn't, he threat ems to search the whole world for an other affinity.
 Perhaps if the first Mrs. Earle forgives the errant husband he may settle down to a nice, quiet life, away from the public gaze, and no longer create .scan- daf in his community. It is pretty hard to teach an old dog new tricks, and so far as the scandal is concerned, "Af- finity' Earle has already done about all the harm he can do.
 Each person, in his own little zone, can be an example of good or evil to others. Earle's example has been in the nature of lowering respect for marriage The best service he now can do is to make himself as inconspicuous as pos Sible

VIII Surprise Outsiders

The daily census bulletins are attract ing close attention all over the country, said Capt. Romaine Boyd, city attorney elect. 'and when Greater Birmingham s population is given out showing an ac- tual gain of from 95,OO0 to 100000, with an increase of nearly if not quite 260 per cent, Birmingham is sure to boom as never before.
 Based on AtIanta's gain of only 64,0O0 or 72 per cent increase, the. New York Tribune and other northern papers are heralding Atlanta as the future metropo- lis of the south, but when the census bureau gives out Greater Birmingham s figures the result will be surprising to outsiders, and will prove the fallacy of the prediction about Atlantas metropol- itan future. I firmly believe the popula- tion of our city will far exceed the pub lished estimates and will afford the peo- pie of Birmingham just cause to cele- brate Greater Birmingham day at the approaching state fair"

Minority Leader Browne Not Guilty

The verdict in the Brown case should read, Not proven guilty" It is diff cult in cases of graft to secure evidence. The first jury in the Brown case stood eight for conviction and four for ac- ouittal. The second jury rejected the evidence of White, the accomplice, and did not consider the corroborative evil cence sufficiently strong. So the chief grafter and briber in Illinois goes free The acquittal is not, however, vndica- ton in a moral sense, and no doubt the democrats of La Sale county will retry the case, for Browne has the effrontery to be a candidate for reelection. He the primary or on election day, demo- crat though he claims to be- The demo- cratic party must unload it's jackpotters and bribers.
 The chief charge against Browne is that he, the democratic leader in the lower house of the legislature, bribed democrats to vote for William Lorimer, 6 republican, for United States senator.
 The two trials have cost Cook county about $30,0O0, and no doubt the cost of the defense was heavy. Browne must soon face still another indictment in Eangamon county, where Representative White will again appear as a witness against him. Browne paid White s10OC to vote for Lorimer. Democratic votes, 1t should be remembered, elected Lori mer Both parties are guilty of corrup- ton in Illinois, and it is believed the people will in November properly pun ish all jackpotters and bribers regard less of their party relations.

KINDLY SUBWAY TICKET SELLER

From the New York Times
 A young friend of ours begs us to give the widest possible publicity to the fol- lowing incident, which, he says, is a complete demonstration that. the natural kindliness of human nature can survive the most unkindly circumstance It seems that recently in the small hours of the morning he walked up a sleep ing subway ticket seller to ask him for postage stamp. The young man ex- plains that he was simply bound to have a postage stamp, and that he had braced himself to endure the language which he regarded as the inevitable conse- quence of his temerity It vas far up- town and a long time between trains still longer between passengers. When, therefore, the ticket seller instead of making the fierce, grun noises expected of him, smiled amicaby behind his wick ct as he rubbed his eyes bit wider open the young mans nerve almost for sock him. He expected, he says the wEiplash of sarcasm full in the face, and his cheek burned already in anticipation. But no. The ticket seller reached for his pocket. By George he said (yes, By George" was the word), that s lucky. I just bought lot of stamps yes tcrday afternoon, so I can help you out. Don't often have 'em."
 The young man relates the tale, moral tag and' all. with undissuised wonder mcnt. Perhaps we do not quite share hIs surprise. We venture, in fact, to reoord the incident as typical rather than extraordinary, and an utter refutation fo the sour sayings of those cynics who arc so fond of deplorins the absence of the softer virtues in the employees of our public service corporations.

From Current Literature for September.
 AS the heavens continue to shine after the sun has set, as the forest con times to murmur after the storm has subsided, so the memory of Bjornson will sparkle and sing in the soul of the Nor "esian people. In later ages he will be ilkc a figure In mythology, grand symbol of the faith that belonged to mankind in the past, which our race will f;nd again in the future, endowing it W:th new meaning. For humanity will believe that the divine reawakens In men who are divine through genius. force. or goodness. Bjornson possessed those tbree qualities of human nature He was q creator, fighter, a singer, and a vic tor"
 Such is the beautiful tribute that FL len Key pays to Bjornson at the conclu- sion of a lifelong friendship. She had met the Norwegian writer before she had herself become a celebrated author. ir fact, before a single work of hers had Teen published. Bjornson was immediate. ly struck by her poetic nature and extra. ordinary intellectual gifts, and their inti. macy helped Ellen Key to acquaint her. self with Norway and uncerstand its as. p;rations for independence. Her words on Bjornson, written soon after his death exceed in enthusiasm even her estimate Of lbsen. They are chiefly an echo of conversations she had with him. In writ ing of Ibsen she speaks of the greatness or his works. In writing of Bjornson she speaks mostly of the greatness of the man

Maine Goes Democratic

Every day heightens the prospects of a Maine, rock ribbed republican state, has gone democratic. It's election took place yesterday and Frederick w.. Plaster, democratic candidate for governor, was chosen by q decisive majority, and two out of the four congressional districts were certainly carried by the democrats, with a possibility of all four being placed in the democratic column when the re- turns are completed.
 This is the first time Maine has elected democrat for the governors office since 1881 when Harris NJ. Plaisted, father of the governor-eleet. won the victory. While the election of only two democrats for the House of Representatives was as sured last night, it is reasonably safe to count on three, with a possibility of a solid democratic delegation. This would be a political revolution indeed in state that has had, as a rule, a solid republi,. can delegation; solid almost as matter of course.
 Republican insurgency was not so much in evidence in Maine a it is out west. but still there was enough of it to hurt the G. o. P. What seemed to have helped the democrats espe- cially was the high character of their candidates combined with the clean cut presentation of democratic doctrines and sane policies on certain local is- sues. The republicans of Maine. for example. favored a continuance of con- stitutional prohibition, while the dem ocrats, in view of the fact that prohi- bition. after a trial of more than 50 years, is a failure, advocate resub . mission of the question to the people.
 The democratic victory in Maine will have a. telling effect on the November elections The democrats can but be heartened and the republicans cor respondingly disheartened. It now be- gins to look as if the democrats would have a landslide this fall and that the landslide would be repeated in 1912.

Campaign Expenses In Georgia

Finder a new and excellent law candi- dates before the people in Georgia are required to file a statement of campaign expenses including the source of all cam paign funds This practically prevents open subscriptions by corporations, or even subscriptions through dummies. Public sentiment unqualif1edly condemns corporate contributions for political pur- poses Champaign managers" says the Washington Evening Star, "are not, however. complaining. Their plans are on a liberal scale, and the work on both sides is going forward. The same old features are in evidence. Processions of spellbinders are "on the road.' Brass bands are playing. Public halls for ral- lies are under contract 'T.iterature," by the cartload, is circulating. All of this costs good money. Who are putting up? Later we are to have bills of par ticulars. But are we all looking for ward to them with entire confidence as to exactly how much money entered into the contests, and the real sources of the contributions Will the publicity or dered really publish?
 It is very plain it does in Georgia. In that state Governor Brown spent over s3o00 to secure a renomination that was refused him. Candidate Hoke Smith spent sl7,596 to get two-years term of $35OO office. He drew from his own pockets, however, but s10,4s9. while his friends contributed s7O97. No friend con tributed more than $500. The entire list of contributors appears in the Georgia papers. The entire sum was expended as follows: Office expenses, $s295; print ing, s4S71 advertising, s436; miscellan- eous, $792.
 As a rule the sinews of war come 1T great elections from Wall street, and II the subscriptions of the financial mag mates are exposed there will be smal trouble on that score. The new nationa publicity law calls for statements aftel election day. This is not what is needed
 but it is better than no publicity law at all In one way or another corporate contributions for political purposes mus
 be ended in this state and in all other states

Hobbies of Cigar Smokers

Probably there is not one smoker in a thousand. said Frank Corbett a we'll known cigar man, "who is not surprised, and in fact ineredulous, when he is told that the color of a cigar is absolutely no guide to it's strength. Yet such is the case, and fact well known to man ufacturers.
 ''The belief of the smokers that the cigar of a dark color is stronger than that of light shade is a point as fal- lacious as it is, general. This is but one of the many delusions harbored by the consumers of tobacco, which cigar men have smiled at and indulged from time immemorial
 But of recent years the inclination of smokers toward light colored cigars has almost assumed the proportions of a craze, and the producers are finding much difficulty in meeting the demand. The manufacturers and Cuban tobacco raisers would be glad to correct the error; but, after having carefully clas- sified their products under claros, colo radoes and maduros for decade they find 1t next to impossible to dispel the illusion. A maker of Havana cigars uses one grade in the body or filler of his cigars. Exactly the same stock is used in all the cigars. After his cigars are made a selector goes through and separates the make into colors. It is seldom that you will find a Cuban or a manufacturer who will prefer a light hued cigar to a dark one, believing that in doing so he is getting a milder smoke in the seection'
