A WOMAN GOVERNOR.

Under a recent decision OF the SUI
preme court of Nebraska that state
may have woman governor. It was
held by the court that women-al-
though not permitted to vote-are elig-
ible to any office within the gift Of the
voters of the state.
This decision was handed down in
the case of Miss Gertrude Jordan, a
young woman who was elected treas
urer of Cherry county by an over
whelming majority last November. The
man who held the ONCE refused to
turn it over to Miss Jordan because
there was no express provision in the
state constitution that :. woman was
eligible to the office
Six members of the supreme court
decided in favor Of Miss Jordan. the
seventh member dissenting, and de-
claring that he had no thought Of de-
Gliding on the right of woman to vote
and hold ofice-but believed that such
power should be specifically conferred
on her by legislative action, and not
given her by judicial decision.
In other states there have been de-
cisions which hold women may be
elected to offices which are not execu-
tive or judicial in their nature-but the
Nebraska decision is much broader in
its nature. and is regarded by equal
sufrragists as decided step forward
for women.
The county in which Miss Jordan
will be treasurer is as large as the
state of Massachusetts, in hel

500 miles on horseback in stages and

Travellers Tales

He was traveller all right. and he
created more trouble on the afternoon
train on the Northern Pacific than any
other troublesome passenger the con-
ductor had seen in long time. He
was going from ST. Paul to a point in
Montana and his ticket read "Iabez
Mutt" He had the toothache when he
started, but as the train proceeded on
it's way it got worse. He didn't know
but he could have got on faster rain
had he been willing to pay for berth
but he didn't know. Long before De-
troit was reached he demanded thai
the conductor stop the train for hall
an hour at Detroit so he could get his
tooth pulled. and more than once he
was detected in the act of reaching foi
the bellcord, but stopped. When the
train stopped in Fargo he alighted and
finally landed up in the office of DIR
Chandler.
The doctor best tells the story him
self of what happened. Said hei
We'll, man named Mutt blew into
my office about o'clock, and he was

ache, and he replied by saying No

Kuhn Messenger: The prediction
was made some months back that
county politics was likely to be luke
warm at the June primaries, owing to
the fact that there was little interest
IN state or national politics, and 1t was
thought that the vote at the primaries
would be light. Politics, however
state and national have been rapidly
developing into a game of exceeding
interest to all who take part in the
subject and instead of a summer OF
idleness the campaign this year in
North Dakota promises to be sharp and
bitter, and the full strength Of the two
factions of the republican party will
be polled while the democrat hoping
to benefit, as heretofore, from the i'm
ternecine strife In the republican par
ty, will be on hand in full force. So
instead Of campaign Of apathy over
the state there is going to be whirl-
wind campaign that is going to take
the breath of many.
In the meantime, President Taft has
been gaining in popularity among the
masses. At first by some unfortunate
circumstance he got crossways with
the insurgents in congress and they
blocked just what he had expected to
accomplish. Just now it looks as
though he would have clear sailing and
accomplish those things he started out
to do.
1t is now probable that r. S. Lewis
VIII become candidate for governor.
All along the line there will be fight
ing. There will be fight for all public
offices and red hot fight in every
senatorial and representative distric:
and for every county office
The fight between the half dozen or
more candidates for congress is begin

Skulason is organizing his forces and
preparing for a battle royal Skulason
is a good fellow, splendid mixer and
his campaign is sure to make votes.
The fight between Gronna and En-
grud is waxing warm. Gronna will de-
pend upon his record which consists
mostly of mammals, mummies and
pumpkins, while Engrud will make a
speaking campaign throughout the enc
tire state. They should certainly start
their race somewhere in Trail county,

For the first time local theatregoers
had the opportunity list night of see
ing Robert Edeson. Advance notices
Of his ability had not been exaggerated.
There was not as large a house as
should have greeted the popular actor
because of the inclemency Of the wea-
ther but those at the theatre made up
in appreciation of the clever work OF
Mr.. Edeson and his associates. 1T was
most capable cast in every respect.
The settings were beautiful and moth
ing was left undone that would add to
the excellence of the presentation.
Mr.. Edeson was good all the way
through, but especially at the conclu-
sion OF the second act and the third
acts. Curtain calls were numerous
after both and at the end Of the third
he was forced finally to make a speech,
which made a hit. 1.st

SELECTING APPoNTEEs.

Mayor-eiect Lowell is devoting a
great deal OF thought and time 10 the
selection of appointees for the heads
of the different departments. 1t is right
that he should. He will be held re-
sponsible for any failures they may
nnake-and it is of the utmost import
ance to him that the men he names
can iii the positions satisfactorily.
Those having the best interests of
the city at heart win endorse Mr..
Loven in his strenuous efforts to name
the proper men. Sc far the new mayor
is keeping his own counsel as to the
personnel of his appointees. There is
a great deak of speculation as to whom
he will name-but there is very little
authoritative information given out
1t is presumed that some of the pre-
sent officials win be retained. 1t is
difficult to see how some of them can
be improved upon. There are others
who are unlikely to be considered.
Each executive has his own ideas as to
the fitness of candidates and naturally
he wants men around him in whom he
has strong personal confidence in their
ability
The Forum believes Mr.. Lowell is
level headed and conservative and will
name men for the different departments
that will not only be capable in every
way but will meet with the approval
! of the voters and the taxpayers. In
the meantime he is not taking any
hasty action--and does not intend to.

North Dakota Political Gossip

has been witnessed at Valley City. Mar
shall & Co. have taken upon them
selves to say who are and who are
not insurgents, who have and who have
not the right to wear the toga of in-
surgentism. They have place. sheir
stamp OF approval upon selected
ticket and said the personnel Of this
ticket is made up Of simon pure In
surgents. They have declared that II
there are any other aspirants for pub
lie Office than those they have placed
their stamp of approval upon, such
cannot be classed as insurgents. They
have weighed all comers and have
found all not among their selectmen
wanting, and they are not qualified to
run as insurgents. Burdick and Skula-
son, both true blue insurgents and men
of ability, have been eliminated. For
some reason known only to those poll
tical regenerates, wh) framed the
ticket. these two bright young men
were declared out of the running. Many
others who have fought in the insur-
gent camp were also ostracised.
Whence did this Valley City committee
get its authority? Let us get back to
the good old days Of the convention,
where several hundred men had say
in the making up Of the old and much
decried gang rule of Alex and Jud
rather than the gag rule of Marshall
