The year upoa which we have just
entered certainly ought to be a very
Happy New Year for North Dakotans.
They have had q prosperous y ear during
1909. Prices of all agricultural products
are high. Farmers have both wheat
and money left over. Business men have
p%roited in good business from the
boun'iful yield of crops. There are
no internal or external disorders. There
is little poverty and distress. Times are
good and growing better. Farm lands
are steadily increasing in value. The
farmer has come into his own and COM
mands the highest prices for the goods
he has to sell. We have everything in
the way of material blessings to make US
happy. 1t onght to be a very Happy
New Year.

There Is no doubt that the wisdom of
Governor Burkes' choice of Fountain L.
Thompson of Cando to fill the senatorial
chair left vacant by NJ. N. johnson, will
make itself manifest later on. Of course
there we're many candidates for the
honor who are naturally disappointed
over the selection; but this is always the
case even whore there are fewer aspir-
ants. Mr.. Thompson bears an excellant
reputation in every respect and is held
in high esteem by everybody who knows
him. His training has been one of
success. Summing up his qualifications.
Mr.. Thompson is eminently fitted for
the important position he will hold,
being a mar of culture, force and in
tegrity. He is a staunch democrat of
the old type and will undoubtedly be
heard of in the future.-Bismarck

Thompson is a democrat of the good old
fashioned sort and it is predicted that
he will make an impression in the

attainments. He is the second democrat
to come from North Dakota to the

To ReVise the Constitution.

1t seems that thirty states. one after
another, have formally adopted reso-
lutlons favoring a change in the fed
eral constitution. The moving cause
in most cases was the demand for
direct voting for United States sena-
tors. The initiative was taken by the
legislature of Idaho in 1895.
A vote of two-thirds Of the Iegisla-
lures is required to empower congress
to assemble a constitutional conven
ton. There are f~orty-six states, and
the requisite two-thirds will have act
ed officially when the Alabama reso-
lutions reach congress in December.
No Legislature has as yet revoked its
previous affirmative resolution. says
the Washington Post. The constitu-
ton places no time limit upon the nc-
ton of Il legislature, yet the validity
Of an action taken fourteen years ago
may be questioned, Whether the work
Of the convention when assembled
shall be confined to the single prop
osition behind the call is also Il sub
ject for debate. The language of the
constitution is liberal upon this point.
1t is that congress shall call Il con-
vention for proposing amendments"
