Last week we interviewed the various can
didates for Congress from Minot, concerning
the appointment of an eliminating committee.
James Johnson stated conclusively that he
was only too willing to abide by the wishes Of
his friends. He did not desire to become a
candidate unless he was confident of having
his home city back of him. realizing that his
efforts would likely be futile other vise AL:
fred Blaisde agreed with Mr.. Johnson and
said he was willing to decide the matter in
any fair manner j. M. Devine and Nehe-
miah Davis did not favor the plan, preferring
to stay in the race whether or no. OF course,
every man has right to become a candidate
for any office to which he aspires, but it looks
to the Independent as tho the candidates
should form some plan whereby but one of
them remain in the race, the others all agree
ing to throw their support to the one select
ed. This would be an example Of practical
politics.

1t is high time that the Minot Normal school

1t is high time that the Minot Normal school
fight should end. The Supreme court has de-
cided upon the constitutionality OF the ques-
ton in favor of the school and northwestern
North Dakota All we'll and good. The Court
could hardly have done otherwise, and we are
advised that the only reason Andy Miller
ever had in raising the point was to delay the
expenditure of the money for the school tor a
few months. North Dakota is about $3.50, 900
in the hole and she's going in deeper every
day. If nothing had happened to the Normal
school, by Jan. L. 5000, 900 would have been
available for this institution. Judge Fisk,
sitting for Judge Leighton, will hear the Nor
NAL school site case in January. He should
be able to render decision one way or the
other very SOON after Both factions should
agree before this case is tried to abide by the
decision of Judge Fisk, who will render an
impartial decision. Let the matter be taken
to the Supreme court again, and the Almighty
only knows when we will get that school.
The state is in such financial straits that the
next legislature will be most energetic in cur
failing expenses. Let the case go to the Su-
preme court and the legislature will probably
give US an appropriation of five or six
thousand dollars for improving the site. We
can't blame them. If this controversy results
in long drawn out scrap, Minot deserves to
lose the Normal school. Unfortunately, Mi
not alone would not suffer. The entire north
western part Of the state is interested in see
ing this school built at the earliest possible
moment.

The Mnot doctors ought to appreciate the
efforts of the Minot dailes in helping to build
up the business fora travelling truss EXPERT,
by accepting his advertising matter. This
expert" does business directly in opposition
to the home physicians who are 10 doubt more
capable of fitting trusses than is this strang-
err. Every practicing physician knows how
to fit trusses and the learned business man.
ayers Of the daily papers ought to be ashamed
of themselves to assist stranger to take the

Abraham Lincoln had shtftless sepbrother who
hated steady work. He was always changing from
job to job and from town to another. Once
when he asked Lincoln to help him move from
Illinois to Missouri, "Old Abe" wrote him like this
What can you do in Missouri better than here?
Can you there, any more than here raise corn and
wheat and oats without work? Will anyone there.
more than here, do your work for you. squirming

Chicago minister has concluded that sewing
circles in connection with his church are not 80 bad

half dozen women of his congregation asked him
for some CASTOR socks and underwear, he thought

surprise when they returned to him less holy
and fully righteous.
