MkS AND NOTES

Linton Record: During the meeting
OF the editorial association at Devils
Lake the writer heard a gentleman of
that city give a very plausible ex-
planation of Governor Burke's interest
in the attempt to ruin Judge Cowan.
1t was to this effect: Burke is a
shrewd and foxy politician. He knows
better than anybody that his talk of
getting the democratic vice. presiden-
tial nomination is all CUFF" Even
were he of sufficient caliber for the
position, he is aware of the fact that a
state with only four presidential cleo
tors will not get a candidate on the
vice. presidential ticket. He thought
that, If he could be elected Judge of the
Second Judicial District, he would have
an opportunity to still further attitu-
dinize and make political medicine, and
would possibly secure sufficient prom
inence, eventually, to get q cabinet
position, or something equally as
good" in case democracy should win
the presidency. He knew he could not
beat Judge Cowan for the position. for
he had tried it once and been unmer-
cifuIly skinned by the genial Scot. He
believed he could defeat any lawyer i'm
the district were Cowan out Of the
way. Hence, his deep interest in the
impeachment of Cowan and his fell
lowship with the bunch who were at
tempting Cowan's overthrow.
Pembina Pioneer Express: 1t has
often happened in legislative and con-
gressional fights that small body of
men who held the balance Of power
between two nearly equal contending
parties have been able to dictate legis-
lation; but we do not remember, when
a score Of men in the senate, ever have
been able by just straight, square.
standup fight, to keep that body ON
the defense in extra session for
months. in the face Of an overwhelm-
| ing majority, including the president.
| AS mere matter of argument the
majority were driven to practical ST.
lence, they at the least refused to try
to defend what they proposed by mere
force TO carry out. II the question
had been settled according to the mer-
it's of the debate and the arguments
shown, reciprocity would have been
defeated. In fact it is stated that If
the senators had voted as they really
believed 1t would have been defeated
This in itself is a great victory for
that score of senators mostly from the
northwestern states, of whom Senator
McCumber was one of the leaders. who
without reference to previous affilia-
tions as to stalwartism or progressive
ism stood by their farmer constituents
in spite of the strongest sort of presl-
Dental and party pressure.
i All Of the North Dakota delegation
and most of the Minnesota congress
men were on our side and made the
greatest night possible against the pacl
land deserve the thanks OF their con
stitutents accordingly.

THE KISS MIcRo5E.


The scientists have just got up kiss
ing screen, and suppose
They'll pass a law that every gal must
Have one hanging on her nose,
The microbes are the cause of 1.-THE
mikes that linger in the kiss
And turn into a grave disease the
thing we've looked upon as bliss.
Then when a fellow wants to pop the
question with a chaste salute,
He'll have to stop make quite sure
the microbe trap is fixed to suit,
There's not much joy in kissing with
a wire contraption In between.
/ hope they'll put the price SO high
my gal can't buy kissing screen.
The microbe scientists all seem to
bear a grudge against romance.
They don't seem willing to stand back
and give the Cupid kid q chance
It's taken them good long time, the
kissing peril to perceive.
For folks have been hard at 1t since
old Father Adam first kissed Eve,
It's going to be an awful blow to all
heightened seaside resorts.
Because the screen will spoil for good
the greatest of our indoor sports
The scientists have gone too far. The
time has come to make a fight
If those kiss microbes want to bite
say, doggone 'em. Let 'em bite

The day-po that stands by the track,
And took an old ramshackle hack
Unto the promised land.
We drove a record breaking race,
Two miles an hour, that was the pace,
And in five hours we reached the place
And jumped out in the sand.

A dandy place to rest.

wARpwELL PHILosoPHIc.

Editor wardwell Of The Pembina
Pioneer Express sees the silver lining
even II Cavalier did take away the
county seat. He views the removal
OF the ofaces from Pembina without
alarm. In a philosophical way he re-
fers to the coming change in the fol-
lowing:
The deed which transfers the county
seat TO Cavalier as do all deeds, will
also transfer the ssHereditaments and
appurtenances thereunto belonging"
There is a large proportion of these
'appurtenances" that Pembina viii
gladly relinquish to the victors; among
them we might specify the following:
The political and social hatred and
enfnity systematically fomented by
jealous neighbors, from which Penn
bina has suffered for more than q
score Of years.
The political classification OF practi-
cally all county officers as citizens OIL
Pembina.

RuruIar Alarm Went OF.

Hillsbero Banner: The burglar
alarm OF the Hillisboro National bank
went off last Saturday night. or
rather early Sunday morning, and
caused not little excitement. What
caused the alarm to go off we have
been unable to learn. but we do know
that a real burglary was being pull
ed off. The alarm kept up con-
tinuous warning for over an hour, and
in the meantime some one would oc-
casionally fire off a gun. giving the
occasion the appearance of genu-
inc battle between yeggmen and
citizens. Several good stories could
be written Of the affair, but we re-
frain from doing so for fear of
casting reflections on the bravery of
some persons.

NORTH DAkoTA's TURBINES.
Time Taken for Critical Examination
After a Years Test.

After a Years Test.
New York sun: The battleship
North Dakota. one Of the newest and
largest sea fighters, which put into
the Brooklyn navy yard the first week
in May for its regular overhauling,
has been detained far beyond the
usual eight weeks for repairs on ac-
count of unforeseen difficulty in maxi
ing a thorough examination OF its tur-
bine engines.
Before the rotors can be hoisted to
the deck the diaphragms which are be-
tween the rotor blades and prevent
the steam from rushing too quickly
through the engines must be taken
out. These diaphragms, which did not
respond readily to the treatment OF
hydraulic jacks, held UP the work. The
starboard engines have been examined
and the engineers are now working
with the port engine. Three OF It's
diaphragms have already been raised
and two yet remain. The mechanism
Of the turbines is delicate and the work
Of hosting the 100 ton rotors has to
be conducted with the greatest care.
The North Dakota is the only United
States battleship at present in COM
mission having turbine engines. They
are distinctly an experiment, the COM
manding officer says. and 1t was
thought that now was good time to
examine them and see how they have
stood a years test.
