ANrl.cowANlrEs AEDoINor

BY their unfounded and sensational
charges-and their determinations
against senators and imaginary per-
sons--it appears the opponents Of
Judge Cowan see the handwriting on
the wall--and have begun to hedge,
They are making bitter attacks on
certain senators and making other des-
perate efforts to conceal their dlsap-
pointment at the evident failure of a
great majority of the charges against
the Judge. They are apparently en-
deavorlng to secure a soft place to
light and seeking to place the blame
on some one.
The ghosting Of some newspapers
and the celebrated quartette of 'ln-
dignation" meetings worked to the in
terests OF the Cowan opposition in the
house. Some OF the members did the
weather vane act. But II is doubtful
IL the efforts to ghost the members OF
the senate will be so successful The
senators are more experienced and on
the average are made Of sterner stuff.
or course there might be an occasional
member whom IL would be possible to
bluff a trffle-but the majority would
not be influenced. They have seen the
ridiculous attitude in which certain
house members placed themselves and
viii not be caught by any such a
game.
One of the weaknesses Of the prose-
cution of Judge Cowan is the despera-
ton with which the contention has
been made for Charge 7--the blanket
charge on delayed cases and affidavits
for payment of the salary to Judge
Cowsn.
In Charge there are forty-nine
specifications on delayed cases. 1t is
natural TO presume the prosecution
picked out the forty-nine strongest
cases at their command. If the Judge
cannot be convicted an that number
why have q blanket charge to raise
the lid for the 5000 or more actions
he has heard? why place the state at
more expense--and the members of
the senate at still greater inconven-
fence?
The testimony in the delayed cases
has been neither strong nor convinc-
ing. Some of the attorneys who were
called as witnesses have not protest.
ed because of delay. II the attorneys
and litigants are not dissatisfied-what
interest is It to the rest OF the people
especially those outside the district?
Some OF the testimony on the DELAY
ed cases was SO inoonclusive the attor-
neys for the defense did not even deem
1t of sufficient Importance to cross
examine the witnesses.
The great hue and cry or the anti
Cowanites that witnesses were being
tempered WITHHELD fiat--as have their
other alleged sensations.

Mh<S AND NOTES

Kenmare Journal: We have read
with absorbing interest the speech
made by Senator McCumber in the
United States senate In defense of the
farmer against the nefarious reciproc-
ity bilI which is now before the spe-
cial session OF congress.
Say what you viii but this man has
stood for the people Of this state in
the face of threats OF political an
initiation, and has proven a man OF
the courage OF his convictions.
There is one trait in Senator Nc
Cumber's character. and that is he
stands on the same platform in Wash
ington surrounded by the powerful in
fiuences of capital that he stands on
In North Dakota.
On Feb. %, last, Mr.. McCumber
made a stand in the senate for his
home people which clearly made him
the leader Of the senate in the fight
against this very unfair proposition
Of the interests.
Page Record: The action OF Gov
ernor Burke in vetoing the bin ap-
propriating $4,000 to defray the ex-
penses of the farmers institutes which
have been the means OF so much prac-
teal good in the state, is being very
generally criticised. 1t does seem as
though this amount should have been
applied TO so worthy a cause when
about double the amount is being used
by the game wardens. It Is not the
first time that the governor has shown
his lack of appreciation or the i'm.
portance Of the agricultural interests
Of the state.
Beach Chronicle: The appropriation
bin for maintaining farmers insti-
tutes over the state was vetoed By
Governor Burke. He evidently does
not believe in spending money for
the benefit OF the farmers; this Is
not the first time he has vetoed a bin
which was passed for the beneft OF
the agricuIturalists Of .ha =...a The
bin providing Tor state grain inspect
ors at Duluth and Minneapolis was
also vetoed BY Honest John. the

SHE WAS NOT A NOVICE.
Miss Ronine Who EIoped Not in Mar
shall Convent at Time.

Marshall, Mo-. Aug. 1S--The dis
patches Thursday of an alleged escape
from the convent in Marshall, Mo-, of
a girl who eloped has caused a great
deal of feeling on the part of the sis
tiers in charge of the Notre Dame De
Sion convent, from which place the
dispatch claims the elopement of Roma
Romine with DR.. Beecher B. Baldwin
of Elk Horn, Neb., occurred.
The press dispatch states that the
convent authorities have prosecuted q
hunt for the girl. This the sisters
claim is false, because the girl left
here in June after school closed to go
to her mother in Omaha, Neb., and has
not been in the convent since. Doctor
Baldwin never came to the convent DIT
Marshall to visit Miss Ronine while
she was here, either to see her profess
sionally or socially.
The dispatch further states she slid
down the convent wall. There is no
wall of any height surrounding the con-
vent and it is accessible to the public
at all times. Miss Rornine was born N
Saline county. Missouri, and is a mem
Der of the Baptist church and not Il
Catholic, and is too young to take the
veil, as was stated she was going to do.
She could not take the veil at the con-
vent because they do not give the veil
here
