Seek Rehearing in Church Dispute.
To get another hearing in the ase
involving the right of the liberal ele-
ment of the Icelandic Lutheran church
to retain possession of the Thingwalle
church in Pembina county evidence is
being submitted to Judge Templeton Of
the Grand Forks district court. The
proposition rests on whether a cer
tain portion of the church's consti-
tuition remains effective. this portion
providing that the church shall be re-
tanned by that faction observing the
doctrines of the denomination. The
conservative element, making the
fight for a rehearing. contends that
under this rule they are entitled to
possession, the liberals having depart
ed from the doctrine laid down by the
Icelandic conference.

A thinking man got off the train
the other day, and took little
walk around the business section
of the town and through several of
the stores. Then he SAID, "A
peculiar thing to me, in southwest

mers who raise crops do not raise
more vegetables. Here is a man
just loading his wagon. He has
just sold a load of wheat and now
is buying vegetables in tin cans
with the money he got for his
wheat. That fellow could probab.

Think Well of Clark

tional house of representatives,
still is the subject of fattering
comment on the part of news
papers all over the country. The
fact that Speaker Clark is to spend
a couple Of days in Hutchinson,
next month, naturally increases
interest in his presidential candi-
dacy.
Honorable Joseph Daniels, DEM
ocratic national committeeman
from North Carolina, and editor of
the Raleigh News and Observer,
says in his paper: Mr.. Clark is
a Democrat of the old fashioned
pattern, sound in the principles,
true in faith, slow to put down his
foot, but when it is once plantedy
he stands like the everlasting hills,
and if he should be called to the
high office of president, the coun-
try would have a man of such solid
worth and ability and character as
to make the Missourian worthy of
his predecessors.
The Washington, d. G., Post
makes the complimentary mention
of Missouri's fayorite son:
Democrats throughout the
country have been impressed by
the sound common sense Of Speak
err Clark. His progressiveness has
in it nothing of the headlong fren-
zy, and his conservatism has no
moss upon its back. He has dis
appointed those who thought that
his brilliant oratorical qualities left
no room for closet planning and
thorough execution of humdrum
duty. Republicans who expected
to enjoy the spectacle of victorious
foes quarreling over the spoils,
with Champ Clark utterly unable
to control his forces, have been
doubly disappointed. The course
of the house Democrats has been
consistent, united, and politically
wise. However radically any one
may differ from the Democratic
program, it must be admitted that
Speaker Clark's leadership has
been mastery"
The Jacksonville, Florida,
Times Union, believing that Mr..
Clark will be the next president,
says, editorially:
Few men have stood upon the
threshold OF the presidency so well
equipped for the successful admin
istration of that great Office. His
long service in congress has given
him a detailed knowledge of men
and affairs without which a presi-
dent can hardly hope to weather
the many storms which assail the
executive With every conyening
congress. Presidents in the past
have gone down upon the rocks OF
congressional incOmpatibility, be-
cause of their lack of experience
and their inability to correctly
diagnose the situation even when
understood. No such misgivings
would attend Mr. Clark's induction
into the white house. With him
as president, the harmonious CO.
operation of the executive and the
legislative branches of the govern
ment is assured"
The Wellsburg, West Virginia,
News makes the following compar-
ison between two candidates:
Mr.. Wilson is not at all in favor
in New York and if he were nomi-
mated he could not carry the state
in the general elections, nor can he
carry his own state, New Jersey.
More than this Mr.. Wilson will
not have the solid delegation from
his own state in the national con-
vention. Mr.. Clark is without

THE REAL DANGER AND THE ONLY ONE

Some of our contemporaries see lions in the path of the Arizona cor poration commission and they are predicting that Special Privilege" and tkPrivate Interest," will secure federal interference with the rulings of the commission. They have care lessly avoided an explanation of the manner in which thisinterferenee is to be effected.
 While federal courts have now and then intervened in purely. state af- fairs the growing tendency at present is to let the states administer their own affairs without interference, pro vided such administration does not concern. outsiders.
 The usefulness of the commission is, therefore, not menaced by the federal courts but it will depend en- tirely upon the character of the com mission, it's fitness, it's intelligence, it's appreciation of it's duties and powers, assuming that it's powers have been properly conferred.
 There is always danger that an ill- informed commission or commission of bad judgment will transcend it's powers, in which case there is likely to be 8 violation of constitutional rights and in which case there would probably be an interference with the orders of the commission. A commis- sion to whom 8 corporation is crime per SC is almost certain in the long run to be 8 failure worse than use- less expense.
 Thus, the effectiveness of the con- mission will depend entirely upon the intelligence and fairness of a majority of its members and we think it would be better to look to the immedia te and only peril, which may be averted between now and the election, than to tremble before distant and shadowy dangers which, by the way, could not be averted if it shopld be found that they really exist.

THIS IS NOT A BATTLE IN AN INDUSTRIAL WAR

Is there a war between capital and la bor? It is assumed by the attorneys for the defense of the MCNama that there is and that its existence is universally recognized. Proceeding upon this assumption the attorneys for the defense are asking the tales men some questions which to outsid- CTS may seem improper.
 They are asking if they belong to Ia bor organization and when the re- ply is in the negative, the attorneys, evidently taking it for granted that the talesman is hostile to labor pro- pounds a series of questions calcu- lated to draw out expressions of hos tility.
 That is, those who are not for or ganized labor must se against it; here, it is assumed, is a state of war which must be to the death: there can be no compromise.
 In interviews with attorneys for the defense printed in the Los An geles papers this idea is brought out a little more clearly. The attorneys comr lain that the venire has been unfairly drawn: that ninety per cent of the several hundred members are not affiliated with any labor organiza- tion. Hence, ninety per cent of them, they think, will be disposed to hang the McNamarras. Another implied unfitness of the veniremen, or of many of them, is the fact that they are well to do farmers or retired business men.
 This view of the case is the worst for organized labor that could be promulgated. On the authority of the attorneys of labor, unionism is direct ly linked with the defendants. Their acquittal means the vindication of

THE TIMIDITY OF THE OFFICE SEEKER

We have come to the conclusion, from observations. made during
 the course of the present campaign, that the office seeker is the most
 timid specimen of humanity-we
 should say the average office seeker,
 as there are exceptions to all rules that it has been our lot to see
 during our brief journey through
 this vale of tears. He will shy away from a crowd like a broncho
 when there is a likelihood that
 he will he drawn, into an argu-
 meut and he will take to the
 tall timber when he is invited to
 express his opinion on the merits
 or demerits of any other candidate,
 either state or county. If he had
 any political election he has forgot
 ten them. Putting on an expan-
 sive smile and wise look he is all
 things to all men and witholds his
 applause until sure that the crowd
 is with him. We have seen in this cam mpaign candidates who were
 few months ago bitterly opposed to certain provisions of the Arizona constitution now giving endorse ment to that instrument in its etirety lawyers have critizised the recall provision as applied to
 the judiciary before they became candidates for judges; now they are it's most vigorous advocates.
 The political candidate seems to be as changeable as the wind and as careless with his affections as a coquette. The candidate keeps his ear to the ground. He ceases to be leader in the community where he may reside and becomes the meekest of trimmers and follower at the heels of the crowd no matter which way it is going. | The average political candidate is the best example of a personal during campaign that we ever saw.

labor; and their conviction, it's con demnatiou -'t
 We do not believe that the country at large has ever taken such a view. It has not prejudged the detenda nts and it has not been disposed to as sociate unionism as principle with the destruction of the Times building. It has only demanded that it be as- certained whether the men charged with that awful crime are guilty. Organized labor so far as the public is concerned is not on trial and is in no way involved and will not become involved except at the instance of itself.
 The cause is not being served we believe by the assumption that this is battle in war between capital and labor. The defendants them selves would not be benefited if the public could be made to believe that. It sees nothing except the trial of men charged with a horrible crime. -Bisbee Revew
