AuToIsrs HAVE SOME RIGHTS.


1t is popular to condemn in measured
terms the auto drivers every time there
is an accident. 1t is but fair to state
that a greater part of the time they
deserve the roasts they get. But ever
the auto drivers have their rights.
The machines are here in great mum
bers. They are here to stay and the
residents of Fargo may just as well ad-
Just themselves to the situation. As
long as an autoist complies with the
speed regulations and exercises a fair
amount Of caution. he is as much en-
titled to the use of the streets as other
people. 1t is the wild-eyed speed ma
MACS, the careless or vicious drivers
that arouse the indignation of the
public.
The public should be educated to the
realization to the right of autoists tc
use the streets-and the latter should
remember the pedestrians are not vet
equipped with wings. A little respect
for the rights of each will go far-not
only to prevent accidents but also re-
move the ill-feeling that admittedly
exists.
One Of the just complaints made by
autoists Is that children are permitted
to use the streets for q play ground
Frequently tho tuveniles--in spirit OF
daring and without understanding the
great risk they take-endeavor to run
across streets Immediately In front OF
autos. An occasional one will stand
perfectly still-directly in the track of
the approaching machine-and see how
near he can permit 1t to approach be-
fore jumping out Of the way. These
incidents lead to many accidents. The
further fact that many grown ups as
well as children frequently rush out of
a building and directly across the
streets In the middle Of a block is
sometimes the cause Of trouble. Auto
lists are prepared to exercise a reason
able amount of care on the crossings
but are not always so much on the
alert elsewhere

Trains Going West.
BURKE FOR v. p.

The political ambitions OF Governor
Burke are said now to be along the
lines of the vice presidency. The wise
ones figure that no western man will
be nominated for first place on the ma
tional democratic ticket-that Gaynor
or some other easterner will be the
selection. In that case it will be in
the cards to name a western man for
second place
1t is quietly tipped off among the
faithful that the North Dakota gov
ernor wants the place-and further
that his friends have already started
a quiet boom for him.
AS a nucleus they insist they have
North and South Dakota, Minnesota
and Iowa already lined up. They have
men at work in Wisconsin. Illinois,
Montana and elsewhere to see what
can be done.
To make the proposition win-Burke
must be elected governor Of North Da-
kota for a third term. He must break
all records in the land of the Flicker
tails and serve a half dozen years
in the executive Job. When he turns
that trick-in strong republican
state--his supporters will then start
his boom all over the United States
and point out what a great hero the
North Dakotan is.
1t listens all right.

For the man who finds II hard to
lay aside his surplus earnings. who
would like to save but finds that the
money slips through his fingers with

there's nothing like the plan offered
by The Northwestern Mutual Invest

financial institution that Is making

Their plan is to take the small
amounts of many investors combine
them and with the aggregate large
capital invest In and develop the very
best selected locations OF city property
in the faster growing sections of the
northwest. The form Of investment
Is certificate, issued to mature In
10, is or 20 years, bearing per cent

Payments on the certificates are
made iii yearly, quarterly or monthly
installments compelling systematic

AMERICAN CARDINALS.

One of the results Of the recent vati.
can episode has been to call public
attention to the fact that the United
States possesses only one representa-
tive in the college of cardinals at Rome
If there is any doctrine Of common
acceptance which has come down with
unimpaired force and effect from the
fathers Of the republic 1t is the doc
trine-which affirms that the people
are entitled to adequate representa-
ton in the councils which govern them.
Like the ancient Sanhedrin in Je-
rusalem, the college of cardinals at
Rome contains seventy members.
The majority vote is cast by Italians,
For obvious reasons this is wise. If
Rome is to remain the seat of govern
ment
How long will Americans-who are
reared in the atmosphere of free in
stitutions and who are taught from in
fancy to believe In the principle of
representative government-patientlv
submit to a distribution of red cans
which gives them only one representa-
tive in the college Of cardinals?
American Catholics possess wealth
and influence to a degree which is
nowhere else excellent. The dis
tinguished prelates of the church in
this country are men of intellect and
OF consecration-mighty forces for
righteousness, whether in civic or IN
religious affairs, and in every respect
qualified to sit in the highest eccle-
siastical councils.
The numerical strength of Catholic
ism In the worlds greatest stronghold
OF popular government is thought n
entitle the United States to more than
one representative in the college Of
cardinals.
Some Of the most powerful organs
OF public opinion in this country are
beginning to agitate this question.
Catholic papers themselves are out
spoken
sooner or later the laws OF euui,,-
brium are bound to assert themselves
whether in the religious or In the
physical spheres of phenomena.
While American Catholics are de.
vout churchmen, they are also stalwart
and sturdy American citizens--and be-
fore the present agitation is over II Is
well nigh certain that Cardinal Glib
bons will not wear the only red car
on HIS side Of the Atlantic.

North Dakota Political Gossip

Williston Graphic. Sen. P. j. Nc
Cumber of this state had the honor of
presiding over the senate on April
IL, having been appointed to I'LL the
chair during the absence of the pre-
siding officer. This is not of much i'm
portance probably, but it goes to show
the standing of our senior senator at
the capitol. He ranks among the
leading parliamentarians in the coun-
try and is also recognized as one of
the strongest senators in Washington
today.

Cakes, insurgent candidate for the

Kenmare Journal: It is with pleas
ure that The Journal notes the an
nouneement of Hon. P. H. Rourke of
Lisbon for supreme Judge. 1t Is such
men as Mr.. Rourke whom one takes
pleasure in endorsing, feeling that
there can be no mistake, for I'm the
many years past he has served the
public truly and we'll and never failed
to do honor to the Office and to him
self
Mr. Rourke is a pioneer in North
Dakota, having come to Lisbon in
1SS2-just twenty-eigh years ago.
During these twenty-eight years he
has labored in the best interests of
North Dakota, and in territorial days
was found working diligently that a
great state might be carved out of the
wonderful territory of Dakota. He
was one of the men who foresaw
North Dakotas possible greatness and
he was one of the men who exercised
much energy, diligence and fore
thought that the structure of this new
state might be properly framed, and
that it might be gifted with a consti-
tuition and laws which would make it's
people intelligent, prosperous ana
happy.
Probably Mr. Rourke had as much to
do with the framing of our original
laws as any man now residing within
it's borders. In the early days his was
a guiding hand in the senate which
steered our young ship of state clear
of many shoals. 1t would be hard in
deed to find man in North Dakota
with wider scope of knowledge of
the law or keener insight of the
science of law, together with clearer
idea of the true intent and interpre-
tation of our statutes, for he was in
strumental in making many of them.
For twelve years Mr.. Rourke has
been United States district attorney

JUSTICE HUGHES.

The selection of Governor Hughes
Of New York as a member of the II
S. supreme court is one of the most
happy appointments President Taft has
determined upon. Few men in the en-
tire United States enjoy the respect
and esteem in which Governor Hughes
Is held. His fitness for the position is
conceded on all sides and the appoint
ment will be heartily endorsed by all
except possibly those who disagree
with his views on the income tax
measure.

could afford for the service rendered
Now If he sent similar announcements
to every paper in the state-as he
should do--than what with postage

would expend about $1,000 which

which they acted. They went into the

down for a few moments, then the old
fellow suggested that they walk about,
which they did. He had her tightly
