be chosen this fall to occupy for the next.

order of their plurality the highest judi.
cial Office in the gift of the people. North
Dakota has a right to be proud of he1
supreme court and there is no reason te
believed that the choice of any of the
six names which will appear on the
ballot will in and way tend to lower the
high standard of efficiency and probity
which has been established. North Da-
kota has always been considered as a
veritable maelstrom of political activity.
and it is therefore all the more to the
credit of her people that the considera
ton of political affiliations has been so
entirely eliminated IN the selection of
our court of last resort. Whatever else
may be urged against the primary cleo
tive system it is certainly not develop
ing any weakness IN the quality of men
who have been selected as candidates to
this most important office

The national administration is trying
to square itself to some extent with the
people. But it has made a record that it
cannot get away from, and because some
good deeds are performed its notorious
shortcomings will not be overlooked by
people. The voters will also make a note
of the fact that the big interests are lay
ing their wires for the denomination and
and reelection of Taft in 1912. The
people don't want him and if he is nomi-
mated he could not be elected. There
are lively times ahead for the national
election two years hence, and the people
need to be as we'll informed as possible,
SO as to be able to guard themselves
against deception. There is a move
ment on foot and there has been for
some time in this state, to get it in a
political condition to make it a Taft state
in 1912. This it will not be, and cannot
DO. IL the bosses are for Taft they can
not take the rank and file of the voters
with them.--Fargo Daily News.

The Calvin Times editorially ensures
the post Office department at Washington
for having closed the post Office at
Daniels and abandoned the mail route
between Calvin and Daniels. L had
been the hope and expectation of the
people of that neighborhood to have
had the route extended through from
Calvin to Wales this summer and have
raised Daniels to a money order office.
Conditions as they now exist make it
impossible for the people of the vicinity
OF Daniels to get a reply to a letter
written to Langdon in less than a week.
The Times is right when it suggests that
the townspeople of Calvin petition their
representatives in congress to get busy
and do something to reinstate the
Daniels post Office and extend the mail
route from Daniels to Wales.

WAS BURIED AT HANNAH
Pathetic Death of Oliver |Skene of Hannah at
Grand Forks Last Saturday NioFt.

Taken sick Sunday night last week
Oliver Skenes, aged twenty-five years. a
student at the university, who:e home
was at Hannah, passed away Saturday
night at seven o'clock, just two minutes
before his brother, Elmer Skene, arrived
at the A. b. belong home at 5l1 North
Fourth street, where the young man was
staying. The deceased's mother, a
widow, and his sister were at the bed
side when the end came. Paralysis,
supposedly the so-called %infantile
paralysis, is believed to have been the
cause of death, although the case was a
most peculiar one.
A decidedly pathetic incident was the
failure of the younger brother to arrive
in time before death came. The family
reside on a farm at Hannah, the young
er brother, Elmer, being in charge of
the farm. The mother and sister arrived
in the city early in the week, but on
Friday, the patients condition was so
serious that Elmer was telephoned for.
He caught the train yesterday and was
met at the depot by a hack. for it was
realized during the afternoon that the
end might come any minute. The efforts
to reach the death bed, however, were
futile for the unfortunate man passed
away Just two minutes before his heart
broker brother reached his bedside.
The deceased was a young nan of
most exemplary character and was loved
and esteemed by all who knew him, He
had roomed for a number of years in the
DeLong home and vas regarded by
them almost as a son. The remains were
shipped to Hannah on Mondays train
where the funeral service we're held on
Tuesday.

The Fargo Forum wants the primary
election law changed. This is strange.
But, come to think of it the Forum and
its little friends. Alex. and jim, were
not the loudest shouters for a state wide
primary when the bill was up to the
legislature. Still, o the bill has be-
come law-both in spite of Jim and Alex
and because of them and the law has
resulted in the nomination of McCumber
Hanna and johnson, and a grand "stal-
wart" victory-according to the Forum
headlines of June last-where any just
complaint against the primary can be
made by the Forum is more than the
public is able to understand. Still the
Forum is probably not anxious to be
understood.

Vaca n III and From the Land.
Vacation on a farm for town dwell
ers Ntl' dream of going back to the
lane" s!i' uld be an eye opener. Ad-
van!age$ aud drawbacks may be test
ed that Wy without paying dearly for
the eNpe innce. 1t works the other
way too. There usually comes a spell
between srNdtime and harvest when
farm folks IAN get an inside glimpse Of

urban life a"d figure out whether it be
possible or worth while to break it's
hold upon their city friends and rela-
tives or upon themselves. If it is all
a matter Of discomfort the vacation
trip will Danish it.
The clerk can quickly determine
whether the farm is his proper level
and the farmer whether to go back
and sell his land or drive his stakes so
deep they car never be pulled up.
Thousands Of people manage to COM
bine town life and country life and are
in a position to show the door to dis
content whenever it appears. Perhaps
here is the solution of two problems.

Forty-eight Stars.

After New Mexico and Arizona are
admitted in accordance with the bill
that has been signed by the president
there probably will be Il long interval
before another new state will require
a star in the flag. 1t has taken consid-
erably more than a hundred years to
add thirty-tive to the original thirteen.
After Colorado, the Centennial State,
added the thirty-eighth star to the flag
In 1876 there was an interval of thir-
teen years. Some of the existing states
may yet be divided. and it is possible
that the end has not been reached even
though Alaska and our island posses
sions. eve come in.
The combined population of the two
new states is estimated at less than
lion before they secure representation
in Washington. But, whatever the
population, each state will send two
senators to the upper house and have
the same representation there as the
states where the population runs we'll
into the millions.
In view Of the great natural re-
sources of both Arizona and New Mex
leo, the statehood act cannot be a mis-
take. 1t is simple justice. and justice
is the foundation on which the repub-
lie has built and must build.

1t is interesting to note the increase in
the assessment of the state in the past
few years. In 1897 the valuation as left
by the board was $91, 722.990. This
steadily increased until in 1909 it was
SITS, 400, 23O. The evenue has increased
from $403,591 in 1897 to S1,4l9,842in 1909.
Large as the revenues now are it is all
used up by the appropriations made oy
the legislature, whereas it would seem
that there should be a large surplus. It
appears to us that there is need of some.
thing approaching economy. II twelve
years ago, the state government could be
maintained upon an income of a little
over 100000, it appears to us that there
is little need of spending nearly a million
and a half of money at this time. The
question may be asked: "Where does
the money go?" All expenditures must
be authorized by the legislature, and it
seem to us that eur legislators have been
rather too free in making appropriations.
We are paying about S2.70 per capita
as state tax. And then we have our
county taxes besides. It certainly is
time for the practice OF economy. The
quetion is-will we get it? The best
way to insure getting economy in state
expenditure is to vote more economically
| Voting the straight republican ticket all
the time does not seem to promise much
retrenchment or much economy. The
state legislature has been solidly republic
can too long now. Changes are said to
be wholesome. Perhaps a democratic
legislature would help some. 1t would
scarcely be worse. Suppose we try it.

use of a receipt has been compulsory
under the postal law, but now it is at the
option of the sender whether or not he
gets a receipt. In order to get a receipt
he must write his request on the face of
