REMARKABLE DIPLoMATIsT.

Alvey A. Adee, the distinguished
second assistant secretary of state,
who has just completed forty years of
service in the diplomatic branch of
the American governments one of
the worlds greatest authorities on in
ternational law.
Administrations come and CO. cab
inets change, and the state department
undergoes many upheavals-but Mr..
Adee works on and is so indispensable
to the government that were he to
leave it would be absolutely impossi-
Bile to replace him. No important Dip
lomatic communication of the last
quarter of a century has been prepared
without Mr.. Adee's assistance and adj
vice. He is the master Of many
languages--and is easily the most
skilled man in America in the prepa-
ration of diplomatic papers.
Mr.. McAdee is a working diplomatist
in every sense Of the word. He is not
a theorist but has empirical knowl-
edge of international relations in all
parts of the world. He can instantly
give presidents which will throw light
on any situation which may arise.
Forty years ago Mr.. Adee became
secretary to the American legation at
Madrid, and thus entered upon his re-
markable career. In Europe he made
study Of languages which prepared
him for a position he accepted in the
state department upon his return from
the Spanish post. He was soon made
chief of the diplomatic bureau in the
department, and in 1882 was made Sec
ond assistant secretary of state.
Mr.. Adee is the information bureau
Of the department. When all other
sources fail, Mr.. Adee is called upon.
His wide experience and vast knowl-
edge have guided many a secretary of
state through troubled seas-and his
kindly advice and assistance have been
of inestimable value to hundreds f
young men entering the diplomatic
and consular service.
In every foreign office in the world
Mr. Adee's opinion is highly respected,
and he has friends and admirers scat
tered widely throughout the universe.

Glenburn Advance: Sam Clark of
The Minot Reporter has dropped into
the last state Of despair in his effort
to discredit Hon. C. A. johnson. the
republican candidate for governor. To
repudiate the nice things he said
about Johnson two years ago he now
makes a confession that he did IL
for money. Money then tainted his
opinion Of men, SO he now confesses.
and this year he is out fighting
not for money, but with a clear CON
science CO.. Mr.. Clark is a witty
writer, but he has hard time making
nis readers believe what he writes.
There is sad lack of sincerity behind
the words he pens and his most able
efforts are lost on the minds Of his
readers because they do not believe
he writes what he knows to be the
truth. Two years ago he wrote for
money. and this year he is writing
to satisfy envy and hatred. He will
find that his present articles are as
lacking in influence as he now con-
fesses were his others which were
written for money.

Walhalla Mountaineer: While the
democratic papers are making a con-
siderable effort in behalf of Governor
Burke, there seems to be a united ef-.
fort on the part OF the republicans, for
c. A. Johnson, the regular nominee.
tThe republican party learned les
son by experience dear one to them
and not easily forgotten-when they
elected democrat as governor, and
they are not going to make the same
mistake again. Party harmony seems
to prevail in the ranks, so far as this
years ticket goes-of course, at the
next general election, the factions will
get to work again, perhaps as bitter
as ever--whtch is all right. Probably
in that way the people get the best
men in the party and in the state.
Minot Optic: After all the eclat and
racFet made by the North Dakota
democrats it would seem that those
having things in charge down at the
conservation meet should have taken
more cognizance of the unterrified's
efforts and given Our John" some
thing to do that would at least have
gotten his name mentioned in the
papers so that they could point with
pride, and pull the wool over the eyes
of the voters some more with asser-
tons that Mr.. Burke was the only
real and genuine candidate for demo-
cratic presidential honors in 1912
There was surely plenty of excite
ment going on and big things were do
ed like a bunch of trip hammers at
the door of our chief executive but he
never peeped. 1t seems that If
Johnny was the big man that STEM
wick tries to make him out he would
have at least made an effort to show
these fellows that North Dakota is on
the map and has definite views re-
garding conservation. The whole
trouble appears to have been that the
republicans had things fairly in hand
and twixt the progressives and stall
warts having their say, but few demo-
Gratis were recognized, and John was
not one Of them. It's too bad too, be-
cause this state might have received
a nice bunch of free advertising out
of the thing, had it been properly rep.
resented. From present indications,
however, it looks as if this state can
not hope for much in the way of rec
ognition at the big doings until it
gets back into the republican columns
again. The time is rapidly approach
ing however, when the voters will be
given another chance to say whether
they want a presidential CD POSSIBLE
ity'' who has spent four years doing
nothing, or man who can make good
first, last and ali the time; such a
man as Hon. c. A. johnson of Minot
for instance, for their governor.

Supervisor RowIey.

Mt. Pleasant Free Press: John ",
Rowley of Keosauqua is the supervisor
for the First district. He was a super
vlsor in 1880, again in 1900 and again
this year. He is the only man in the
United States who has this dist.nc-
ton. Under him he has 1s5 enumer-
ators
To show You that the work is much
more extensive than it was the first
time he was employed it is only neces-
sary to state that in 1890 he had
twenty-one counties. This year &c has
only seven, but that will keep him busy
He is allowed two clerks, or stenogra-
pliers and they work from eight to
fourteen hours day, but they draw
extra pay for all work over eight hours
Rowley is a newspaper man and has
been at Keosauqua for thirty years;
in politics he is a standpatter and
drew his job through Congressman
Kennedy. It pays to stand pat. Aside
from his politics. Rowley is fine fell
low and We were glad to make his
acquaintance. as we ALWAYS are to
make the acquaintance of newspaper
men.

Is so clear and the issue so Sharply
defined thar no one need make any
mistake in the matter. What the dis
trict wants is a representative in con
gress who will support the President
and thus not only discharge his du1y

has been precisely the same as il they
had been elected as Democrats in

has been none the less disastrous TO
the party because the insurgents have
claimed that they instead of the
President and the majority of the
party were adhering TO the Republi-

What will be Mr.. Roosevelt's atti-

Republicans to reject the leadership
of the President and the majority and
go their own way in insisting upon
details OF legislation TO which the
party is pledged? Unless Mr.. Roose-
welt has changed his mind since he
wrote as above quoted he must say
that Republican senator's and repre-
sentatives WHO have refused to sup
port the President have failed to full
fill their duty by the party and the
platform to which they as well as the
President were pledged.
