MAY REDIsTRlcT cAss.

There is some agitation for having
Cass county redistricted for county
commissioners. There are FIVE dis
tricts in the county and they are by no
means equally divided as to population
or voting strength. There are three
legislative districts. Fargo and Fargo
township compose one OF those, but
there are FIVE commissioners districts
and the oitv has added to it a large
number of townships. 1t seems pecu-
liar that it takes so much more terri
tory to make one-fifth of Cass county
for commissioners-than it does to
make one-third of the county for Leg
islative districts. The representation
should be equallzed so one-fifth won't
be so much larger than one-third.

PAN-AMERIcAN MoNRoEIsM

Boston Transcript; 1t is reported

gates to the Pan-American congress
are tentatively bringing forward for
consideration, If not for action, the
proposition that the Monroe doctrine

The dispatches which bring this i'm
formation are SO meager as to leave
room for plenty of doubt as to the mo-
tive underlying this suggestion, and
the motive must have great bearing
on its expediency. Every one familiar
with South American opinion must
know that while South Americans
realize the value the doctrine has had.
they are jealous OF anything so much
as limiting that they are under the
tutelage Of the United States, and are
inclined to regard themselves as suf-

BOOSTERS AND MUSIC.

A famous chicken fancier says.
There is no sweeter music to the ear
than the growing of the rooster"
Upon second thought, a very large
number Of people will hold that this
statement is perfectly we'll founded
though the clarion calls of the cock
have not always received rating among
the realms of music.
The theory raises the question, What
| is music? And here the average indi-
vidual will find himself in doubt. While
the instruments in the orchestra are
being tuned, the din is quite appalling,
though every sound produced is, per-
haps, musical sound. When the tun-
ing process is completed, and the mu-
sicians are launched upon certain ed
ucationar and "elevating" forms of
music--the result is occasionally wholly
obnoxious to ears that delight in the
strains Of my Old Kentucky Home"
and other such homely ditties. A very
great composer is said to have caught
a theme from the household cat which
walked along the keyboard at hit arN
miss intervals, and to this day the
musical elect will listen with rare in
terest when THE Cats Fgue" is being
skillfully executed. But the Blind Toms
of the tonal woodland the majority
may be so referred to-feel that pianos
and players are being scandalously
abused when THE Cats Fugue" claims
their time. b -s# ...
On the contrary, there are sounds
which the conventional musicians ut
terlya ignore-but which are nightly
soothing to the common ear.

the wind and rain and darkness, calls

Grafton exceedingly valuable, even IL
not set down in the bond.

A Pan American Monroe Doctrine so
drafted as to give the great South
American governments a voice in its
enforcement and a right to decision as
to whether occasion had arisen for that
enforcement, might be easily rendered
q device for multiplying the "hegemony"
OF the United States. Whether In view
on the great development Of all Amer
lean nations in general and Of the Uni
ted States in particular, we need to as
sert on even intimate that "hegemony,"
IS question not to be decided offhand
By Pan American congress in which
we participate.
when the doctrine was enunciated,
more than eighty years ago, an attack
on the independence of South America
was a condition to be apprehended;
now European encroachment on their
soverelgnties is simply theory mainly
employed in conjectures as to the real
purpose Of the Kaiser in upbuiIding the
German navy. European nations have
such extensive financial and CONNER
ejal interests in South America that
an attack by one Of them on a South
American state would be an effront to
all the others. Here is one condition
that makes for peace Another which
initiates against the probability of
European earth hunger seeking salts
faction on this side OF the Atlantic is
the general recognition Of the Carib-
bean sea as within our sphere Of in
fiusnce." Nothing may come out Of
the discussion OF Pam American pact
at present. It is a proposal which the
United States wants to think over not
twice, but many times. AS the most
powerful Of fhe slgnatories, we should
naturally have to make the largest
contributions for the defense of the
compact.

Devils Lake Inter Ocean: Senator

from the start that Senator Cores
detective work was decidedly coarse.

bride like he contended was offered to
him are altogether too shrewd to go
at it in the manner indicated +. by
Cores sensational confession. His
effort to incriminate the vice-presi-
dent of the United States is the veri-
est kind OF buncombe. That man
Hamon, who seems to have been the
alleged go between, when called as a
witness made some statements that

able position.
He said that ne and Gore had been
friends for many years; that Gore Of
ten called upon him for campaign aid
and got It though Gore was a demo-
crat and Hamon republican. He
said he and Gore were in many busi-
ness deals. Mentioning one, he said
that several years ago when the In
dian lands were for sale at auction,
he, Gore and others entered COM
bination not to bid against each other
so that the property could be secured
cheaply.
He said that they got the land.
When asked If he did not know that
1t was against the law to prevent

did not know 1t at the time.

N. D. POLITICAL GOSSIP

Mandan Pioneer: The political sit
uation in North Dakota this year is
more harmonious than in any state In
the northwest. A very even distribu-
ton of the officers between the fac
tions Of the Republican party makes
possible and necessary united action
and the best OF feeling prevails all
around which augurs we'll for the sue
Gers for the entire ticket in Novem-
Der.
Mandan Pioneer: The Fargo Fo-
rum and many other newspapers in
this state are advocating revision Of
the primary election laws by the next
session Of the legislature. Under the
plan proposed the state convention
will be restored, the delegates to
which will be chosen at the primary
election as will candidates for county
office
There are many arguments in favor
OF the restoration Of the state nomin-
ating convention.
The experience in most states where
primary elections have been in vogue
for number of years Is that the
ticket selected by the voters Is
at best makeshift as compared to
the work OF a delegate convention
where fitness for office, geographical
location and other important consid-
erations are given due weight.
The Pioneer believes that there is a
crying need for Improvement over the
present primary law which makes IT
impossible for a man Of moderate
means to run for office without run
ming deeply in debt.
