{. j. TAYLoR's CANDIDACY.

The people of North Dakota are
greatly interested in the selection Of
competent man for superintendent of
public instruction in this state. E. ].
Taylor, formerly county superintend-
ent Of Grand Forks and for some years
deputy superintendent in the office of
the state superintendent, is candidate
for the position. He has kept in touch
with educational work and is right up
to the minute. He is competent in
every way and the voters of the state
should cast their ballots for him.
Speaking of his candidacy The Grafton
Republican said:
Drowning men grasp at straws. In
order to belittle his opponent in the
eyes of the people Mr.. Woods has cir
oulated broadcast over the entire state
the story that E. ]. Taylor over one
year ago and again a few months later
wrote Mr., Woods to the effect that he
had no intention of becoming a can
didate for superintendent of public in
struction himself. and that Mr.. Woods
candidacy would be satisfactory to
him; and yet in the face of these prom-
Uses Mr.. Taylor has proven himself a
traitor, and consented to become a
candidate, and as Mr.. Taylor has prov
en- himself Enthusiastically, the people
ought to choose Woods. This Is the
cheapest campaign thunder we ever
knew a candidate for state honors to
use, and even Mr.. Woods would NOT
make use OF 1t, If he were not absolute
" destitute of any other argument. In
fact. the use OF the argument is direct
admission that his opponent in every
respect is superior so far as oualiflca-
tions are concerned. But let MS scruf-
inixe Mr.. Woods mud"
In the first place the letters Dub-
Iished BY Mr.. Woods merely prove that
Mr. TayIor,s modesty has driven him
TO stand in his own light. and that he
had not the slightest intention of be-
coming q candidate until very recently
when the pressure brought to bear
upon him was SC great that he could
not refuse. The state educational as
ISOLATION at AFinot showed plainly thai
they did not want Mr. Woods. ana a.

Travellers Tales

Frank Promo was talking to COM
pany of travellers last night during
the heated spell about the new tangled
notions that are afloat all over the
country, when he got into reminis-
cent mood. and he said:
Probably you never knew It, but
used to have little girl away back
there in Canada when l used to be a
member of the Queens constabulary.
She was nice girl and / was sta
toned at the town Of Hamilton. in
Ontario. We kept company for
long time and / went home with her
every evening. we used to kiss each
other goodnight in an artistic manner.
one night after we had been going
together for nearly six months she
said she couldn't kiss me again; that
she had Joined a kiss not club and
she had taken the oath never to kiss
any man excepting her own husband.
ri seemed to me clear case or bluff,
but she stuck to 1T, and although /
delivered a great many fine orations
and whispered tender nothings into
her shelI-like ear there was nothing
doing. She was obdurate and then
some. She wasn't at all unkind;, nor
cross, only she said she wanted 20
keep her obligation, and that If she
would break it she would be fined. In
vain told her I'd pay the fne. Sud-
denly put on d most sorrowful look
and said. Well If you don't say good
night in the old way wen never 20
together again. :

of the men about the front of the
house in the big chairs, said:
We'll how did il turn out?"
"Oh," said Frank as he blushed like
a school boy delivering his first reci-
tation. We went together for six
months after that,

North Dakota Political Gossip

Bismarck Tribune: The appeal of
the .insurgent leaders in other states
to the people of this state to vote for
Messrs. Gronna and Marshall viii have
little weight with the voters. For
tunately for most of us, we have the
intelligence and discernment to know
how to vote and what are the issues
Of the campaign. We know whether
we went to paddle our own political
canoes or be tails to some aspiring
kites in other states. we know pretty
nearly what is the record Of Senator
McCumber and Congressman Hanna,
and we know what has been the rec
ord of Mr.. Marshall during all of his
years in public life, and of Mr.. Gronna
during his several terms as congress
man. We know, also, that good
many of these insurgent leaders who
come out with a specious appeal to
the voters Of the state Of North Da-
kota, are making an open fight on the
administration of President Taft.
Down in South Dakota they had the
interference of this band OF political
bushwackers, claiming all the right
eousness and honor in politics, and
the people of that state returned Con.
gresham Martin and Congressman
Burke. In wisconsin, the republican
state convention has Endorsed the adj
nttnistration OF President Taft. In
Iowa, desperate efforts were made by
the insurgent senator's and congress
men to defeat the denomination of
Governor Carroll. and both senators
went back to the senate to turn the
tide. The voters renominated Carroll
and the republicans will be in control
Of the state convention and indorse
President Taft and his administration.
The insurgent candidates for Office
in this state are pretty we'll known
here. They would do better to trust
to their records in this state as off,
Gals and candidates for Office than
to bring in the perfunctory and hol-
low Endorsement of a bunch OF out
side politicians, engaged in warfere
upon the republican party. Let US
North Dakotans settle our own politi-
cal choices, without the gratuitpus and
unsolicited suggestions and advice of
men whose services just at the present
time seem to be pretty badly needed
IN their own states.
North Dakota voters will select
their own senators and congressman.
They know Mr.. Gronna and Mr.. Mar
shall about as we'll as any of the
signers of the recent advice to voters.

Hanna not only introduced a bill. He
put it through. We are to have a
magnificent government building in
Williston because of the efforts Of
Congressman Hanna. The local man
ayers of Tom Marshall are said to
resent the success af Congressman
Hanna in getting the City of Opportun-
ity this recognition. They are saying
things about Hanna. But the people
will not be fooled. And Hanna viii

consistent congressman, but ne has
been the real friend of williston. He
is the first friend we ever had 'at

jamestown Alert: Men like Judge
Engerud, who put up arguments and
reasons to voters are welcomed in
North Dakota, and what they say is
given attention and respectful consid-
Grafton. The principle campaign Of
the opponents of McCumher and En-
gerud has been to knock somebody
or something They stand against
what everyone knows are prosperous
conditions, They try to make farmers
believe that McCumber in Washington
has been a traitor to his constituents
in his votes on the tarifr bill. Facts
and figures and market quotations of
the prices Of farm products which
are grown in Canada and compete
with North Dakota prove that Nc
Cumbers votes on the tariff bill have
been wise and of benefit to the people
of his state. The indications are that
this attempt of the press agents for
Marshall and Gronna Is falling flat
around the state, and that public SEN
timent is not with them. The mater
ial used by the press agents to boost
Marshall and Gronna appears to be
well described as composed of 80
per cent bluff and 10 per cent office

Ryder News: C. A. Johnson was
superintendent of Ward county's
schools for three terms, was a member
of the legislature for two terms and
was candidate Of the republican par
ty two years ago for governor; in all
of his public life no one has ever
found anything to his discredit. If he
had lived an unclean life. been dis
honest or tardy in performing his du-
ties. he would have been exposed.
There are men seeking Office who
would be glad to md something to
discredit him with. HIS record and
life are clean and "they can find no
fault with this man.
Ryder News: The faithful and eff

and Senator McCumber in securing

Trains Going West.
CELEBRATES GOOD WORK.

Hon. w. c. Gilbreath has made the
office of commissioner of agriculture
and labor in North Dakota Of some i'm
portance. Before accepting the posi-
ton he had the newspaper training
which taught him the value of pub
licitv and of various forms Of adver-
Using. Through the use of pamphlets
magazines, newspaper interviews and
stories and through exhibits at big ex-
positions and state fairs, Commissioner
Cilbreath has made the state one of the
most widely advertised in the north
west. His publicity methods accom-
plished so much and were so widely
commended that commissioners in 9TH
er states adopted them.
The great increase in desirable i'm
migrants in the western part of the
state was largely due to the excellence
of Mr.. Gilbreath's efforts. North pa-
kota is stin in the developing STAGE.
More people are needed. Ten times as
many more can find homes in this fer
tile region. Mr. Gilbreath's work is
needed and his defeat would be CAL
amitv TO the state.
He is one of the few state officials
on the Job. He Is rarely absent from
Bismarck except On official business,
Visitors to the capitol building can US
ually find him at his post while many
of the other state offices are in charge
OF deputies.
Every voter in the state should ap-
preciate the excellence of Commissioner
Gilbreath's efforts and vote for him at
the primaries June %.

FEWER RAILWAY FATALITIES.

The railroads are improving Three
years ago in the United States alone
over 500 passengers were killed and
more than $4,000 injured in disasters of
various kinds, chiefly derailments and
collisions-all within twelve months.
Because Of the characteristic siren
uosity of American life it is quite gen.
orally supposed that railway accidents
in this country are more frequent and
more calamitous than they are else
where-and it must be confessed that
the above figures have given some war
rant for this impression
But from the bureau of railway news
and statistics there now comes the
surprising and gratifying information
that never before in the history of rail-
ways has such a record for compare
tive safety been made-anywhere in
the world-as that made by American
railways for the year ending June So
1909.
Here are the exact figures: Out of
s6s companies which reported to the
bureau, not less than SAT, operating
159,65T miles OF road and carrying
5To,617,56S passengers. went through
the entire year without a single fatal
ity to a passenger in a train wreck.
Ten of the remaining companies-op-
Grating over $4,000 miles and carrying
over 1s5,o00,o0o passengers-barely
missed immunity by s. single fatality
each. 1t is said that the roads which
have made this splendid showing for
the year cover the whole country from
