proven their worth on at least
one farm. The Burlington
Hawk-Eye relates that a farm
er who became the custodian of
of a number of pheasants had a
potato patch attacked by bugs.
The pheasants soon found it
out and made their headquar-
tiers in the patch whe:.a a living

BURKE AND IMPEACHMENT.

While Messrs. Kelly, Kerlin, Bren-
nan and others Of Devils Lake we're
Initiating impeachment proceedings
they overlooked a shining mark.
There are at least two events in the
official career of Governor Burke upon
which technical impeachment proceed
ings might have been initiated-had
his opponents been as relentless and
vitriolic as those of Judge Cowan.
Governor Burke swore on three in
augurations-and when he became a
lawyer, possibly oftener, to support the
constitution and laws of North Da-
kota.
He appointed a state senator to fill
vacancy in the U. S. senate The
federal law says the upper branch of
congress shall be the Judge of the
eligibility Of it's membership the
state law-the law that Burke is sworn
to observe-says no member of the
state senate could be thus appointed.
When the row was on two years ago
between Peake and Poole over the Of
fee OF the ad1utant general-Governo
Burke OVERRIDE the civil authorities
and called upon the militia to take pos
session Of the office of the adjutant
general by force.
The North Dakota statutes ora aae
mite. as to when the militia shall be
called to act Under no provisions is
there any authority for the governor
calling on the militia in a case Of this
kind.
The governor--sworn to obey the law
Of the state-usurped the power of the
civil officials In this instance and as
sumed dictatorship. He certainly did
not act in conformity with the oath he
had taken.

jamestown, N. D., May 1S.-To The
Forum: II you wish to see a smiling
countenance. just look in the faces OF
the farmers since the rain. And the
land men have something of the same
good naturedness reflected in their
eyes.
Building has started in well. A gang
OF men are rushing the armory ais fast
as possible. The building is to be so
by lao feet. two stories high, with the
office front one-story higher. Hebron
brick is used for facing, with stone
trimmings. and 1t will be a handsome
structure. The Company II boys are
watching eagerly the growth OF their
new home,
Miss Alice Paddock, local librarian,
has gone to Los Angeles in company
with the Fargo Librarian, to attend
the national meet OF librarians. The
new Dickey library will not take tang
ible form this year, as the executors
OF the win have another year in which
to pay the legacies. Al fine site has
been chosen by the school board and
the city council close by the high
school.
Commencement Is in the air with the
students, and the last month cannot
drag slowly with so much OF interest
to take thoughts away from books.
Last Friday evening the senior class
of the high school gave a delightful
play. Tonight the juniors give
banquet and reception to the seniors
and faculty in the gym. Three more
weeks and the class OF nineteen will
have their diplomas and make their
final bows. IT has been decided to not
give the graduates any part In COM
mencement programme. This is not
satisfactory to the patrons OF the
school. for their interest centers about
the students. and not some educator
who comes to give an address In place
of the old fashioned commencement
orations. From The Forum we learn
that Fargo people will have a chance
TO see something Of what their gradu-
ates have learned.
The ministerial association OF the
city is corresponding with Rev DR..
Riley OF the First Baptist church OF
with the hope OF securing
him for an evangelistic campaign. He |
has made a great success In such |
work, and 1t il expected now that he |
can be here for the month OF Septemv

In time for that meeting, and will II
furnish an auditorium such a. we have |
never possessed before. Cor i.

RELIGIOUS CENSUS.

A religious census of the city OF
Fargo Is to be taken at o'clock to-
morrow afternoon. Every citizen of
Fargo, regardless OF religious afflia-
tons. or the lack of any, should take
sufficient pride in the good name of the
city to assist in making the enumer-
alton success.
Every denomination in the city Is CO.
operating in the movement. The city
is divided into six districts and hum
dreds OF workers win assist. The en-
tire count will be made in an hour
The accuracy of the results depends
largely ON the cooperation of the pub
lie. Blanks are being published in
the newspapers and will be carried by
the enumerators- II the residents will
fiji out the blanks and have them
ready 1t WIN save a great deal of time.
Ii 1t Is, impossible for you to be at
home tomorrow afternoon between 4
and o'clock, leave the slip-already
filled out--with some one, Help to
make the census accurate.
A good showing will be a boost for
the city as the results will be widely
advertised. The count will appear in
religious publications of all denomi-
nations, all over the United States.

the state, so to speak, has liberal and
proad-minded views and is no hypo-
crlte. lie is always In the open, and
mas never denied that at times he takes
tntoxicants, but never to a degree to
merit the sensational charges brought
against him. Neither have we heard
that even his bitterest opponents have
ever charged him with defrauding any
one out OF loddar, or questioned his
honesty or integrity. and his ideas of
hDerality will doubtless be shown by
taking no measures toward continuing
or stirring up the factional fight in
Devils Lake with view of securing
revenge on the prime movers In the
prosecution.

will feel that they have earned the
approval of all unprejudiced parties
by their original findings, and will feel
too. that their Judgment, had 1t been
accepted, would have saved much ex-
pense and time for the senate mem
bers as well as many others. Their
findings, backed by the verdict, allows
proper fitting for a phrase taken
from former editorial,--"never in any
case except when honest and proper
motives are back of the prosecution,
or when sufficient legal grounds are
shown TO exist" Representative Jor-
dal's committee may well say.-"we
told you So"
We believe that Judge Cowan will
prove himself equal to the opportunity
that now presents itself - that of re-
turning to the bench and Devils Lake.
and entering upon his judicial duties
and his private life without malice to-
ward the enemies who have sought
his undoing. We believe that il these
same enemies viii take the conduct of
him as their cue in regard to this feud.
less will be heard Of the Devils Lake
strife over the state, civic improve
ment will be less retarded, and more
credit rebound to their manhood. than
IL they show the narrow minded ami
mostly of a hard loser. Speaking from
the standpoint OF a disinterested
party or outsider" this would appear
to be the only sensible thing to do, and
should another outbreak of like por-
tent occur, 1t would be well to view the
epitaph which might f1ttingly be plac-
ed over the buried hopes begetting the
impeachment proceedings-"If thus SO

sun were you begun for"

TAXING THE UNPRoDUcTlvE.

A bill has been introduced in the
Massachusetts, legislature to tax spin
sters and childless wives. 1t will be
regarded as a companion bin to the one
taxing bachelors.
The unfortunate people are to bear
an extra burden for failing to obey the
divine injunction to increase and re-
lplenish the EARTH" These unfortunate
ones will no doubt claim the tax is
ineduitable-on the ground that Il is
exacting tribute on nothing. They will
insist that 1T would be as reasonable
to tax a moneyless man as to tax
childless wife. 1t will not take much
argument to prove that both are VIC
TINS OF poverty.
Whoever heard Of a bachelor who
does not confess his poverty and lone
Illness for being such?
Whoever heard of a childless wife
who did not yearn for the joy and sun
shine-which only her own child could
produce?
Whoever heard OF a spinster who
would not marry the man of her
choice?
Why tax the unfortunate?
In one OF the state legislatures a bill
was not long since introduced pro-
viding that married men should wear
rings on their thumbs as a mark of
distinction. This plan was intended as
a means OF preventing married men
from posing as single men. 1t was
found so many married men were f1irt-
ing that the married women inspired
the bill to legally mark and cIrcunvent
them.
1t is needless to say that all of these
bills failed Of passage.
Probably the bin taxing spinsters
and childless wives was defeated
through fear on the part of the legis-
lators. The one marking married men
went down under the righteous scorn
of the accused.
