on the Street.

Mr.. W.P. Britt, who lives near
Fairmont, had somewhat of a
mix-up with his mule and buggy
and some peaches Friday morn
ing on Elm street, in front of Mr..
LII. Caldwelfs store, ,all because
of an automobile coming into
town from Rowland. Mr.. Britt
had stopped his mule on the street
and walked into Mr.. Caldwell's
store when he heard all automo-
mobile coming. He started at
once for his buggy and just as
he got between the wheels in an
effort to get hold Of the lines the
mule dashed off and jerked the
hind wheel over him, bruising
him very badly. About a bushe]
of fine peaches which were in
the buggy were scattered down
the street for some distance.
The mule ran down Elm street
to Mr.. Fuller's stables, where
he was stopped without doing
any damage to the buggy.

M'CUMBER SHOWN UP

In a letter recently published by j. M.
Anderson, secretary of the Society of
Equity, regarding the sending out Of
McCumber literature under seal of the
society envelopes, there is a lot of good
reading. 1t shows up the repeated
attempts of Senator McCumber to
"work the society to his gain" and that
he has burdeled the mails with dozens
of sacks of his speeches IN defense OF
the Aldrich tariff, which stuff he en-
deavored to have the society send out
with its endorsement.
The secretary characterizes McCum-
Der as "the champion of Lazarus at the
gates of Dives" and says very properly
that for the Society of Equity to center
a campaign for or against the reelection
of any of them(the senatorial or con.
gressional %candidates) would soon cause
our downfall
The secretary also says H. Bachelor
the press agent, who has been using the
Society of Equity's envelopes, has assum'
ed the title of deputy organizer" with
out authority of the society, and that he
offered to work for nothing, and pay in
addition 800 per month to the society il
it would make him state organizer. The
secretary further says he believes this
money would have been furnished from
the campaign fund of Senator McCum.
Der, as Bachelor is not a man of means
and could not afford to carry out this
offer unless someone else made it up tc
him. The letter shows beyond any ques
ton the attempt of the senator to prosti.
tute the Society of Equity to his OWL
ends.-Fargo Daily News.

lessly tells the truth to its readers and
warns people to think twice and ''count
tho cost" before rushing to leave .heir
homes for new one in Montana. I must
certainly be condemned by the real estate
men of Montana, for their pictures are
all rosy and in striking contrast with
those of the Husbandman says:
"The worst mistake it is possible to
make is to try to raise a crop on sod land
the first year" And again "The man
with as much money as our dry land
farm experts recommend is all right
anywhere, for be can eat and his family
will have plenty; but the nan who
undertakes to build a dry land homo
without ample funds, will find it diff
ferent from a like undertaking o
irrigated land. For the wife and the
children of the dry land home builder;
who is short a years maintenance, our
heart bleeds. The dry land home is
not meant for such. The proposition is
essentially for the well-to-do class.
AS many know, to dry land farm, one
must keep a loose dust blanket on the
land one year to save up the moisture
for the next years crop. Only half a
mau's land can be farmed each year.
1t would be too dry entirely to raise a
crop on the sod the first year, and a man
who goes there in the spring will have a
year and a half to wait for returns aud
n who goes there in the fall will have
two years to wait. 1t will take consider
able cash as the Husbandman says to
carry a man and his family through this
first stage.

The Minneapolis Journal reporters

The Minneapolis Journal reporters
interviewed Governor Burke while at
Minneapolis a few days ago and reached
the conclusion that the governor would
finally be forced to accept a nomination
for a third term. The governor does
not want to make the race again but
the democrats are insistant and he is
not likely to turn them down without
good reason. With Cashel, Purcell,
Burger and Jones, or equally good mon
as candidates for the various congressi-
onal honors, and Governor Burke to
head the state ticket and the balance of
the ticket composed of such excellent
material as can readily be found among
the democrats we will have a ticket.
which, if backed up by a platform
equally good and in line with reform
ideas and true democracy, is likely to
make a winning. The people are awake
to their own interests and tired of the
Aldr1ch-Cannon rule and can see but
little in insurgency to offer relief unless
the insurgents act with the democrats
as they have in some instances done tc
the benefit of the people at large. The
feeling is that if the insurgents platform
is similar to that of the democrats the
best way to be certain of accomplishing
the end is through electing democrats.

About the Chapter House

With a view that the public generally
of Langdon and vicinity may have a
clear idea of the correct situation of
affairs in regarding the Chapter House
which the ladies of the American
Woman's Leagne in Langdon propose
building this summer the DEMOCRAT
gladly gives space to the following out
line of facts handed in by officers of the
local league.
First a suitable building lot, clear and
free of incumberance must be secnred
by the local chapter and decided to the
trustee of the American Woman's
League to be held for tho use and
benefit Of the local chapter. The local
chapter is further protected by a clause
incorporated in the deed, that in case an
attempt should ever be made by the
league to sell, transfer, or use the pre-.
perty for any purpose other than that
for which it was donated the title there
to would revert to the original holder,
IL Is b PROVISION SlulldT w tu6G lOuuu III
deeds donating sites for public buildings
such as churches, libraries, ETC., and
absolutely protects the local chapter.
When the foregoing condition has been
complied with the league at once pro-
ceeds to let the contract for the building
of a Chapter House to a responsible
contractor. res
Another matter it is desired to make
clear is the fact that the Chapter House
is for the free and full use of all mem
bers of the Chapter. If the Chapter is
composed of members of any other
organization, such as the w. G. T. U.
Maccabees, etc., or of a local club, the
use of the Chapter House may be
divided among the several organizations.
all having its benefits in common and
without a penny of expense to them
selves. Thus any woman's club, or
society, or several separate ones, may
combine and by becoming members OF
the League secure the Chapter House
for their use.

JOHN BURKE FOR GOVERNOR

John Burke is the logical candidate
oil the democratic party for governor
this fall, if he can be induced to run,
says the Devils Lake journal. No other
democrat in the state has in so large 3
measure the confidence of the people.
Other good and bright mon there are in
the party, plenty of them, but none of
them who have been tried as he has
been. None whom the people know so
we'll and trust so fully.
John Burke has made good. Every
anti election pledge he has fulfilled, in
so far as his hands have not been tied by
a republican legislature.
1t is we'll remembered by the people
that before Governor Burke's admins
t~ration, it was the custom of republican
state officers to turn their official duties
over to deputies while they attended
to their private business elsewhere than
at Bismarck. This, John Burke pledged
himself not to do. He declared that if
elected, he would give his entire time
and strength to the State of North
Dakota. This he has done and so potent
has been his example that the republi-
can platform of 1908 pledged its candi-
dates to the same procedure.
He pledged himself = to secure anti
pass legislation. Such a law be has
been unable to secure from a republican
legislature. But he himself has honor
ably and consistently refused all passes
offered and has insisted on paying the
regular railroad fare wherever he has
travelled. AS one republican lobbyist
saws, "Yhe only thing | have against
John Burke is bis foolishness in not
taking passes"
Governor Burke pledged himself to a
better enforcement of the law. Hamper
ed by lax republican officials during his
first term, little was accomplished.
Governor Burke asked the legislature
for the power TO remove such officials
rs would not enforce the law. The re-
publican legislators refused to grant
him such power. But shamed by his
determination and feeling that the eyes
IF the people of the state we're upon
them the republican officials haye done
more in the last two years towards en-
forcing the law than was ever done
before.
Governor Burke went into office
pledged to raising railroad assessments
throughout the state. After a long fight
that, too, has been accomplished. In
every particular John Burke has made
good his promises.
Again be has been a credit to the
state, wherever he has represented it,
whether in the councils of the governors;
the various conventions which he has
attended or the numerous social events
to which his duties have led him. In all
cases he has been a marked figure. His
speeches have been heard and praised
for their wit, %eloquence and good sense
Everywhere he has compelled honor
and respect for the state of which he is
governor and North Dakotans have
reason to be proud of him as a n%ationa
figure.
The people want John Burke fol
governor again. They have every con
fdence in him, they trust him and the,
can see no eason why he should no
again serve them.-Park River Gazette

Milton, the dairyman's paradise"
was the headliner of a seven column
write-up of which Milton people may
feel proud and which appeared in the
Grand Forks Evening Times last Satur-
day. Even the editor of the Milton
Globe will be fain to admit that the
Evening Times is a pretty good booster,
II it does belong to the other bunch of
republicans.
