A neutrality-suspicious.
bill has passed the national house of
representatives. 1t is the same as
the Crumpacker measure which
failed to pass the senate at the pre-
ceding session, owing to the fact
that it was crowded out by other
legislation. Under the provisions of
the bill-which it is said will pass
the senate and be signed by Presi-
dent Taft-North Dakota will have
three members Of the federal house.
instead of two, as at present, and
they will be chosen from districts.
instead of from the state at large,
as they are now chosen. A district
bill was passed by the last session Of
the state legislature. dividing the
state into three congressional dis
conditioned on the adoption
by the present session Of congress OF
a reapportionment bill which allows
North Dakota three members OF the
lower house Of congress.

There was no foundation for the
rumor that the legislature would
be called in extra session to settle
some financial matters caused by
the bull-headedness Of the state au-
diting board in refusing to carry
out the provisions Of a concurrent
resolution adopted by the legisla-
ture at its recent session relating
to the per diem of the clerks de-
tailed to remain in Bismarck to
write the House journal, as is done
at every session. 1t is doubtful
whether any one in authority would
have the nerve to put the state to
further expense in the matter Of
legislative sessions. after the fasco
of the Cowan impeachment trial.
that raw political job which saddled
an expense account of sixty thou.
sand dollars upon the taxpayers Of
the state.

Judge Cowan, when he was called
by the chairman. surpassed anything
ever heard in the opera-house. For
nearly ten minutes the applause
cotinued uninterrupted.

More than five hundred ladies
were in attendance at the opera
house. which for the first time in
its history was crowded to overflow

Judge Cowan's remarks were char
acteristic. He thanked the people
many of whom had known and loved
him for more than quarter of a
century-for their hearty support
and sympathy in his days of trouble.
and he assured his audience that,
contrary to assertions which had
been made. he entertained no malice
toward those of his enemies who
had sought his overthrow, and that
those who knew him would have no
fear that he would ever use the
power of his office against those who
had opposed him.

The present method of obtaining
birth-and- death reports in this state
is lame in some particulars. The
monthly report that is being sent
out by the state board Of health is
getting to be standing joke
throughout the state. If the board
has power to compel the prompt for
warding of these important reports.
it ought either to see that they are
sent or that the people who fail to
send them are punished. Poppy
cock is the only appellation to
which the present reports are enti-
tied.

The Homecoming.

Devils Lake. N. D., May 6.-Never
before in the history Of the city
not even excepting the visit Of Will
liam ]. Bryan-has there been such
an immense crowd in Devils Lake as
that which greeted Judge John F.
Cowan on his return from Bismarck
this noon.
A deputation Of citizens met the
train at Petersburg, Nelson county,
accompanying the jurist and a large
delegation from Fargo, Grand Forks
and other places.
More than two thousand people
were in attendance at the station.
where two bands furnished music.
After greeting his wife and chill
dren, Judge Cowan and his party
were taken to the opera-house.
where a brief program Of speeches
was given.

Isn't it fine situation that con-
fronts the people Of this state re-
garding the lack Of opportunity they
have for becoming possessed OF q
knowledge of the laws passed by the
last session of the legislature? For
some years an enterprising Bismarck
gentleman had gotten out "popu-
lar edition" Of the laws Of each ses-
sion. This was published several
months before the regular edition
was printed. 1t had paper covers,
and was cheap in price. That, how
ever, has not been done this year.
1t is hardly believable. although it is
fact, that everybody is amenable
to a lot of laws they know nothing
about, and the provisions Of which
they have no means Of ascertaining
unless they pay five dollars or
more, according to the length Of the
text Of the statute. for q certified
copy. And it does no good for the
layman to go to a lawyer and ask
him about it, for the lawyer is all at
sea, just the same, as it would cost
the lawyer about fifteen hundred
dollars to obtain certified copies Of
the more than three hundred stat
utes enacted by the last legislature.
In Minnesota and other states the
laws are published in the newspa-
pers within less than a fortnight
after the last bill has been signed by
the governor. 1t costs several
thousand dollars to SO publish the
laws; but the immense amount it
would require were it necessary for
each newspaper to set the type is cut
to a small fraction by the printing
Of the laws by ready-print house
and the furnishing of them in sup.
plement form to the newspapers.
The laws Of each session could be
published in the official newspapers
of this state at an expense Of from
fifteen to twenty thousand dollars.
Doing this would enable every one
to have q knowledge Of the new laws
within few days after the adjourn
ment Of the legislature. Theoret-
ically. the laws take effect the first
of the July following their passage
and approval; but. as a matter Of
fact, about three-quarters Of them
bear the emergency clause. which.
in case they carry by . two-thirds
vote, causes them to become operat-
i've as soon as they are signed by the
chief executive. The present sys-
TEN should be bettered; and. what.
ever the proposed method Of i'm.
provement. the conditions under
which the people Of the state are
required to obey laws Of which they
know nothing. and Of which they car

able outlay of money, ought to b.

He Doesn't FORGET . Friend.

During the time when the Cowan
impeachment proceedings were be.
fore the House of Representatives,
the members from this district,
Messrs. futile and Streeter. op.
posed at every stage the attempt to
use the power of the state and the
money Of the taxpayers for the pur-
pose of backing a bunch of Cowan's
political enemies in their attempt to
ruin the man whom they could not
defeat at the polls. And the men,
bers from this district were not
among the number of weak sisters
who reversed themselves because Of
the Indignation meetings" worked
up at Grand Forks, Valley City and
Jamestown. nor were they influenced
by the work of the foxy Hanley, the
6erce-looking Homnes. the ladylike
Nestos and their supporters for a
reconsideration. Judge Cowan is
one of those true-hearted souls that
never forget their friends who have
stood by them. The members from
this district, although neither proph-
cts nor the sons of prophets. had
claimed that there was not sufficient
evidence to convict Judge Cowan,
and that an unjustifiable impeach-
ment trial would simply pile up an
immense expense account, which the
taxpayers of the state particularly
after poor crop season were in
no condition to pay. So. the writer
was not much surprised. though
pleased. to receive, soon after Judge
Cowan's acquittal, a telegram from
the loyal old-timer. 1t reads as fol-
lows:
Bismarck. N. D.. May 4.-Hon.
D. r. Streeter, Linton, N. D.: Ac-
cept my hearty congratulations on
the approval of your judgment by
the Senate votes to-day. You seem
to have been an authority as to the
sufhciency Of evidence in impeach-
ment cases. Your friend,
John F. Cowan.

BISMARCK, N. w., May o.--Llke a
crash Of thunder was the deafening
applause that greeted the announce
ment of the verdict Of the Senate.
by President Burdick. that John F .
Cowan, judge Of the Second Judi
cial District and former attorney
general Of North Dakota, was not
guilty Of the sundry crimes and
misdemeanors preferred against
him in the petition for his impeach-
ment signed by nine citizens of
Devils Lake, last February. to the
House Of Representatives of the
state Of North Dakota.
The storm Of applause resounded
through the Senate chamber and
lasted many minutes. In vain Pres
ident Burdick pounded with his
gavel for order. and it was some
time before the loud cheering could
be hushed.
At the conclusion of the final vote
on Charge No. 8, Lieutenant Cover
nor Burdick. who had presided
with fairness and impartiality over
the impeachment court during its
long and tiresome sitting. asked the
accused jurist to stand before the
bar Of the Senate. In a somewhat
dazed manner. Judge Cowan, still
sitting at the table of the conunsel
for the accused, arose and listened
to the verdict.
John F. Cowan.' said the lieu
tenant governor, "the senate Of
North Dakota. after having listened
to the testimony introduced in the
trial Of your impeachment as judge
Of the Second Judicial District, has
considered the evidence, and l now
inform you that it has found you
not guilty."
Order came only when motion
for y recess was made. The ques-
ton was not even put, the president
seeing that the only way to regain
control Of the senate and audience
was to allow the many spectators
and friends of the Judge the privi-
leRe Of showering their congratula-
tions upon him.
The first to take his hand was his
old friend, Judge McClory. who had
sat by the respondent all through
the trial as one Of the counsel in
this case.
These two friends. now on the
sunset side of life. studied law to-
gether years ago on the North Da-
kota prairies. in the days of their
youth. and lived as neighbors during
all of the subsequent years. They
fondly embraced each other in the
presence Of the anxious throng that
had waited eagerly for the verdict.
showing their great devotion and
regard for each other and the
friendship which has stood the test
Of time.
Senator's. old friends and neigh
bors who have remained in Bismarck
throughout the trial, filed past, re-
joicing in the acquittal Of the de.
PENDANT and thanking his many
able counselors as they showered
their congratulations upon him. 1t
was demonstration perhaps that
will never be seen in North Dakota's
legislative halls again.
That the prosecution utterly
failed to prove any of the allega-
tions, in the minds Of the members
of the senatorial court. is shown by
the votes on all the specifications.
the average for guilty being twelve.
On seven specifications there were
no votes against the judge; on four,
only one; on two, only two: on two

-four; on two there were six; on two,

The open charges made in advance
of the taking of the vote-that there
would be lineup to prevent the
conviction of Judge Cowan, regard
less Of the evidence presented-were
completely annihilated when the
final ballot was cast. There wasn't
one man in the Senate who didn't.
on one specification or another, vote
for the acquittal of Judge Cowan.
and some of these did several times.
