W|lL|ST0N FAIR
Was OPENED TODAY
Big Annual Event in Progress
Prospects For Success
Are Very Bright

Williston, N. D., Sept. 20.-Another
of western North Dakota's county
fairs was opened today when the
Williams county event was formally
declared under way. The first day
Of the fair was given over to the old
settlers and the old soldiers and q
program of particular interest to
them had been arranged.
One Of the distinctive features of
the fair is the exhibit of produce
grown under the Williston irrigation
project. and these exhibits denote in
a striking manner the fact that the
lands under the project, with the
yea%r-around supply of moisture. are
quite capable of bringing forth some
of the best kind of vegetables.

GO on TO STANTON

Mandan, N. D., Sept. 2O.-With only
two or three more weeks required to
complete the north line of the North
ern Pacific as far as Sanger, local
residents are extremely optimistic at
the prospects for even further con-
.struction work this year which would
result in placing Stanton, Mercer
county. on the railroad map. Presi-
dent Howard Elliott of the Northern
Pacific, in a letter to c. L. Thinner
man of this city states that it is more
than likely that the line will be ex-
tended through to Stanton, although
he says the work to Sanger must
first be completed before a decision on
that point can be made.
Within another month regular
service will be established as far as
Sanger.

as Bert Counter heard the crash of
the glass from his rooms on the sec

window to take a look. He did not
see anything but threw a bucket of
water down to the ground. He was
under the impression that a chande-
lier had fallen down below in the
postofice and did not know until the
next morning that he scared the burg
lars away by the threatening bath.
Footprints were left both outside and
on the inside of the window, but moth

will not permit him to shift the issue
from the great question of a states
having the right to adopt any sort Of
constitution which suits 1t within the
limitations named, to a petty squabble
about the recall.
Anent the vetoes
"The provisions to 60 into a state
constitution do not depend, under the
federal constitution, upon the whim,
prejudice or taste Of the man who
happens to occupy the white house,
or of the men who happen to be rep
re~sentatives or senators in congress,
but upon the will Of the voters of
the state itself; but the president
seems to be laboring under the de-
fusion that he knows better what the
people of Arizona need and desire
than they know themselves, and that
his wishes and desires rather than
theirs should be incorporated into
their constitution, which is a queer
opinion to be entertained by an
American president"
Cseferring to President Taft's veto
Of Che various tariff bills, Mr.. Clark
said:
Ellis action makes It clears as the
sun shining at midday in a cloudless
sky that the people can hope for no
relief from tariff extortions at the
hands Of the Republican party, but
must look to us for relief from the
monstrous load which they are now
carrying.
"The language of the presidents
veto messages raises a very grave
question. He seems to think that
congress should not consider or pass
any tariff bills except such as he
recommends, which is reversing the
modus operandi of making tariff bills
provided by the fathers of the repub-
lie. The assumption that congress
shall neither consider nor pass a tar
i'll bill until recommended by the
president, is not only absurd but is
revolutionary, utterly %subversive of
our theory Of legislation, il submitted
to, will be only another long step in
the process Of usurpation which in
late years has SO greatly increased
the powers of the executive at the
expense Of the legislative branch OF
government.
For the last thirty odd years, the
enormously increased patronage OF
the executive has increased his power
to an extent never dreamed of by the
founders Of the republic and which
should set men to seriously thinking
as to whether so much power in the
hands of n man is entirely salutary

keep up the interest of the schools.
The monthly report is very import

growth of the association, and men
