ing their conviction. One Matthew Hopkins was a celebrated witch finder of that period. Itswas easy to discover witches when you knew how. The sus- pected person could be forced to weep and then detected by the well known fact that a witch could shed only three tears and those from the left eye, or she could be pr1cked with pins to dis cover the spot inseusfble to pain, which was a sure sign of dealings with the devil That women were far more likely to dGObIe in wttchcraft than men was conceded. Ishe reason was satisfactorily explained by q famous German text book on witches published in the. fifteenth eeptury. It was sim ply that women were inherently wick
 ed, whereas men naturally inclined to
 goodness.

The Profeaaionai View. 7,

An English physician of whom many
 stories are in circu1s1on may not be
 as unsympathetic as a recent anec- sdote seems to make him. He is spe- cialist on all sorts of mental disturb ances and the fits, spasms and con- vulsions which sometimes accompany
 them. One of his patients, most ex- cttable person, if suddenly alarmed or distressed, would fau into a curious comatose state from which she could not be reused until the effect 1.-the

ROYAL TREATMENT FOR CAM.
PAIGNER

1t is not very often that a candidate
on a democratic ticket volunteers to
take a republican speaker around the
country free of charge. This, however,
is what happened in Dunn county this
week. Robert L. Wilcox. the nominee
for the house of representatives on, the
democratic ticket for the 4Sth district.
was in Manning on Monday and on
learning that the republican county
committee raj looking for a conveyance
for A. 3. Guptil from Dickinson to the
county seat, willingly offered his SER
vices. They were gladly accepted and
Mr.. Wilcox came to this city in his auto
in the evening and On Tuesday morning
hunted up Mr.. Guptil. who came in on
a .light train from the east, and took
him to Manning in good time for a re-
publican rally that had been called for
1 O'Clock in the afternoon. Mr.. Wilcox
took the gentleman back to Dickinson in
the evening and in speaking of the trip
Mr.. Guptil said that he never met a
more interesting gentleman than Mr..
Wilcox, and really he could not see how
he happens to be a staunch democratic.

NOVEMBER s ELECTION

Election will be over now in a few
days and most people will be glad of it.
It is always disappointing t a large
number. and it does not take a prophet
to truthfully predict that there will be
many surprises. There are always sur
prises in county and state elections.
In North Dakota the democrats are
claiming the election of John Burke for
a third term by q larger majority than
heretofore. but the republicans do not con-
cede this. They reason that the republic
can ticket was made up this year from
men of both the progressive and stalwart
factions and therefore there should be
general good feeling. a united party. and
consequently success at the polls for the
entire republican ticket.
The democrats have in reality centered
their entire energies of the campaign for
the reelection of John Burke.
On November 8 the question will be
taken to the people and finally settled.

BRANCH LINE SERVICE
TRIWEEklY FOR WINTER

President Howard Elliott of the North
ern Pacific railway vas a visitor in
Bismarck and Mandan on Monday. He
was accompanied by First Vice Presi-
dent J.. N. Hannaford. Third Vice
President A. o. Slade. Superintendent
A. M. Burt and R. W. Clark, secretary
to President Elliott.
Final arrangements were perfected fol-
the opening of the new south branch
and the first train to make the trip on
schedule time left the Northern Pacific
stations at Bismarck and Mandan a few
minutes after 7 O'Clock Tuesday morn
ing. The schedule provides for q tri-
weekly service. Trains will leave these
points hereafter on Mondays. Wednes-
days and Fridays. returning on Tu es-
days. Thursdays and Saturdays. They
arrive at the main line about s 80 p. N.
The official opening of this new line
opens to regular traffic one of the best
sections of the state. The southwestern
part of North Dakota has great possibiii-
ties and is growing far more rapidly
than many people from other sections
realize. The entrance into this fertile
territory of two large transcontinental
railway systems means the development
of new towns and new centres of trade.
The N. P. branch south does not e.
tend beyond Mott and will not until
spring at least. AS already stated the
line is projected southwest from Mott to
Marmarth passing eight or ten miles
south of New England. and will possibly
connect with the main line again at
Terry, Montana.
For the winter the train service will
be a mixed train and the company will
not attempt to make any fast time.

than help the man he seeks to assist.

The PRESS does not approve of the
report Of the republican rally published
in the Forum on October 81. The person
who made up that report was either
misinformed or else he had no regard
for accuracy, and there has been alto
gether too much of this kind of work In
the present campaign for the good of the
republican party. The rally referred
to was not q large one, in fact no larger
than the Hildreth rally aud not az large
as the Purcell gathering. 1t was a clean
cut rally, and even the democrats
could o consistently criticise Attorney

THE SUPREME OUR

NeAt TUESDAY, november b. m voters
of North Dakota will have an oppor-
tunity of expressing their choice for
three members of the Supreme Court.
The PRESS believes that there is a
desire On the part of the people gen.
orally to keep the standard of our
Supreme Court high, but too often mat
tiers like this, of the greatest impor-
lance, are not given careful thought, in
which event it is possible sometimes for
those least fitted to get an election.
Our present Supreme Court is COM
posed of five members, namely, Chief
Justice D. E. Morgan. Judges S%paldins,
Fisk. Ellsworth and Carmody. The
terms of JUDGES Fisk. Ellsworth and
Carmody expire this year. At the same
time q consti .utional amendment will
be voted upon to increase the term of
Office to ten years. 1t is thus seen that
the coming election is a most important
one to every citizen in the state, for it
involves a majority of the membership
of our highest court and for a period Of
possibly ten years to come.
The primary in June resulted in the
naming, as the six candidates for the
three places to be filled, the following
persons Judges Fisk and Ellsworth, now
serving upon the Supreme bench; Mr..
c. M. Cooley, an attorney at Grand
Forks; W.. A. Anderson, an attorney
practicing at Devils Lake; and E. T.
Burke and E. B. Goss. now holding
Office as district judges in the Fifth and
Eighth judicial districts respectively.
Of the six men who were nominated
at the primary under the non-partisar
judiciary act, as candidates for tn.
Office of Judges of the Supreme Court, il
is the opinion of the PRESS that Judge
C.. J. Fisk. Judge S. E. Ellsworth ant
Mr.. C. M. Cooley possess superior quail
ficatiOns, and that the interests of thu
state will be best served, and the higl
standing of the court will be best main
tanned. by their. election. This fact i,
the general opinion of the best attorney
of the state. There are those, however.
who claim that il is not necessary o
best to have all the members of the
Supreme Court learned attornies, but
that is not a very good argument.
Politically the candidates that thu
PRESS advocate, namely, Judges FISH
and Ellsworth and Attorney Cooley, ar
