ALWAYS HOWIJNG

Congressman Hanna has formally an.
nounced his candidacy for the nomi-
nation for governor next June. This
he seems to have done without consult
ing the Fargo Courier News-at any
rate that paper takes the very first op-
portuinty' to raise a howl, because Mr..
Hanna's announcement is not sufic-
iently explicit to suit his taste-Well,
there is a good long time between
now and next June. Meanwhile, it
may be sort o. interesting to keep tab

with particular reference to their ex-
plicitness.-Maddock Standard.
The Courier-News is always rails
ing howl but then what's the differ
ence We are "durned' sure that L.
B. Hanna is not obliged to bow down
to the editor Of the News or any other
fellow of that calibre. Not on your
tin-type. It will probably be pleasing
to the editor of the Courier News TO
know that l.. B. Hanna will be our
next governor.-Warwick Sentinel.

Either the state should change its sys-
TEN or else the present Secretary of State
and his Office should be more painstaking
in the issuance of the Session Laws.
Heretofore this has been done under the
supervision of q private individual and
the work has been excellent, but fearing
that something was being slipped past
him the Secretary of State now has the
work entrusted to his care. We had oc-
oasion last week to refer to the hail in
surance law in answer 10 an inquiry and
finally found it indexed under the head

details North Dakot, has drawn prize
in its Secretary of State.

Governor Burke wanted the legislature
last winter to give him power to remove
officials for misconduct Why did he
want this additional power? He already
had the power and the law provides that
he should supervise the work Of the
state officials, but what good has he
made of that law and how good has he
enforced it? 1t was not Governor
Burke's action that started State Treas
urer Bickford to the penitentiary for
embezzlement nor was it Burke who
started the case against Superintendent
stockwell for Incorporating state
funds for his personal benefit. which re-
suited in the supreme court ordering him
to return the money. Burke would like
to have more power to dig into his po-
litical enemies. He would like to have
had more power and state money to
spend against Cowan in the farcial i'm
parchment proceedings, but when the
miscrcant was within his own nest, as in
the Stockwell-Bickfordc cases, he let the
other fellow do the enforcing of thu law.
and kept his hands off. A governor who
car only prosecute outside of his political
machine is poor man, regardless IF
how good politician he may be.-Beach

A REAL USE FOR PICTURE POSTAL.

4 REAL USE FOR PICTURE POSTALs
Virginia. Mimi. has hit upon a novel
scheme for advertising its agricultural
resources and opportunities. 1t is to
make use Of the nuch-abused picture
postal card.
The picture postal has been made to
do service for pretty much every pur-
pose under the sun, put has not as yet
at least not in this section, been system
atically utilized to promote farm settle
ment. Their use in this way would do
much to restore their dilapidated repu-
tation.
Instead of meaningless buildings or
street scenes, bit of parkway or pub
lie square, there would be the farm
scene, the display of products, the dairy
herd. the farm home. the usccu!cnt pota-
t, enc the queer'y celery.
This would add the personal and the
familiar: it would bring them within that
un,versa! field of human interest which
has the ;'r"n.:st appeal To r,ost re.-
pie a building is just building; its ar
chitecture has little or no meaning, is as
apt to be vile as fairly good and Impress
es only for the appearances Of bignesa.
Ditto the street scenes. the work of a
park the waterscape and all .he rest.
Eft everybody knows. the farm; every
ore eats vegetables; everyone has see
| filds of growing grains, and so all have
rules for comparison and discriminating
| judgment.
1t is good sheme and If tens of thous-
ands of these little messengers could be
sent out from this territory, they would
/ soon bring in the much-desired reputa-
ton of an agricultural country, with the
accompanying impression of stability,
rcrmanence and enduring prosperity.

Who can tell the inner working of
this political games just as the race
for governor was looking like Burdick
and Hanna, with Aaker bringing up
the rear, Burdick withdraws, leaving
the field open to Hanna and Aaker.
Then when the people had become ac-
customed to the new slate, Aaker pulls
out in favor Of Buchanan. This push
ing and showing has all taken place in
the ranks Of the insurgents. We are
now patiently waiting for Buchanan
to withdraw in favor of some one else
and by doing so few more times the
insurgents might, by the time the cam
paign starts, get hold of man who
will make a formidable candidate
against Mr.. Hanna. They passed up
their one best bet when they let Bur
dick get away from them and are now
trying to make the best of bad mess,

ALDERMAN MILLER AGAIN.

After working and voting against
the Municipal Ownership Of the Flee
trio Light Plant, Alderman Miller, the
Socialist representative of the Third
Ward breaks into print in the Journal
and attempts to voice the opinion Of
the people as to the method to be pur-
sued by the council in regard to the
erection of the new plant. The gall
of Andy Miller and the nerve Of Pat
Norton fade into supreme insignif-
canoe alongside OF this self appointed
spokesman for the people Of Devils
Lake. Mr.. Miller would have the
council "proeeed immediately with
the erection of the plant. With snow
drifting in pretty turries around the
foundation he would have laborers dig
ging into the frozen ground to put in
the machinery pits. With Il cold win
ter approaching he would have the
poles erected before the council has
even met to adopt the vote of the peo-
pie or the contemplated contest of Mr..
Kerlin is decided by the court Mr..
Miller is truly representative of
the people" is he not?
Mr.. Miller, who is so anxious to have
cxpediency shown in these matters was
some months ago appointed as chair
man of a committee to look into the
ACCESSIBILITY of establishing Munich
pal Wood and Coal Yard, resolution
he introduced himself at the request
of the Socialists. As yet no report has
been made by that committee. Does
Mr.. Miller contemplate waiting until
next summer before putting wood and
coal on Municipal basis, which would
benefit the people, according to the
claims Of his party9
As The World understands the re-
cent election, the people of Devils Lake
by a decisive majority placed them
selves on record in favor Of Municipal
Ownership Of the electric light plant,
the method to obtain the same to be
left in the hands Of the council. Mr..
Miller. with few of the other Social
list leaders, who were suddenly
switched from their sworn platform,
voted against this and it would seem
to us that Mr.. Miller is one Of the
very few men in the city who has
nothing to suggest.
The World is anxious to see the Mu
nicipal Plant installed as quickly as
possible and knows that the council
vii use every effort to get the bonds
sold and the work started but the sell
assertiveness of Alderman Miller hard
lv sits well with the people after his
attitude in the recent election. Like
his namesake, Andy, he evidently be
lieves in deserving the party that elect
ed him and then bobbing up and at
tempting to dictate policy to its ranl
and file. Heaven protect us from thu
Millers.

Going back into the dark ages and
counting up all the cases that a few at
torneys of impeaching ideas have been
able to gather the Journal was able 20
exaggerate enough to get fourteen afi-
davits Of prejudice filed in the district
court, but the fourteen was only in the
