PRESS A POWER

To those who are wont to sheer at
the influence of the press we COM
mend Mr.. Hanna's case. \ mention
Of his possible candidacy for the gov
ernorship met with the approval OF
the papers of the state, which no
doubt had considerable influence in
aiding Mr.. Hanna to arrive at de-
cision, for it means his candidacy
meets with favor in the different COM
munities these papers represented. No
man has his ear closer to the ground
and is called upon to gauge public
opinion oftener than a newspaper
publisher. 1t might be said it is part
of his business. In uncommon in
stances he may give way to his per-
sonal spleen or an intractable strain
In his makeup makes him preverse,
but in the main it IS to his advantage
to represent sentiment in his COM
munity and get in line regardless of
his personal views. To the initiated,
newspaper support means more than
is apparent on the surface in this way
that the publisher CLEANS his pref
.erence through sentiment expressed.
And in passing it is only fair to add
the newspaper mans publicity acts as
fuel added to flame in building up and
propagating an idea or feeling felt
that constitutes public opinion.-Ryd-
er Journal.

This week Lieutenant Governor Bur
n hos !,

This week Lieutenant Governor Bur
dick has announced that he is not, nor
will not be candidate for Governor at
the next election. This leaves in the
field three pronounced candidates for
the Office for the republican nomination
at the primary election: Attorney Cen
cral Miller. Mr.. Aaker of Fargo and
Congressman Hanna. Not only has An
dy Miller been too presumptuous, but
he has tangled himself up in fractional
fights and squabbles, queerca himself
with most Of the newspaper boys, and
pranced around to such an extent that
it would be hard for him to command
the solid support of any wing or fac
ton of the party, let alone his getting
its solid support. Aaker is decidedly
an unknown quantity, and we know
nothing in his record or abilities that
warrants his coming out in the open at
all. Mr.. Hanna is the clean cut logical
candidate, with a record for straight
forwardness and ability that is equal
led by very few men in the state, and
his nomination at the primaries would
mean about as near absolute certainty
that the next Governor of this state
will be a republican as it is possible to
come to.-Minto Journal.

Rochester, Mimi, Nov 1.-The
board of education of Rochester has
put the 'lid' on dancing in the gym
nasium of the new s125,000 high

that the athletic association Of the

nasium to raise money to clear up a
large Indebtedness, but hardly had
the announcement been made public
than the school board issued it's edict
that dancing was tabooed in the
building. A resolution adopted by O.,
former board, prohibiting dancing I'M
der the name of the high school, and
also the formation of dancing clubs
among students was brought to light.

The election to be held at Devils
Lake November 6. to vote OH the prop
osition Of the city establishing munc-
ipal lighting system, seems to be the
center of attraction at the Lake these
days. When it comes down to the mat
ter of dollars and cents with the tax
payers Of our county seat, we can see
only one way to vote on the proposition
and that is for municipal plant. The
owners of the present lighting system
will undoubtedly work hard to retain
their monopoly, but we doubt if the
people will let themselves be fooled; by
voting against municipal ownership

NAB ALLEGED PIGGER.

CarringtOn, Oct. 31.-Carrington
officials are happy believing that they
now have in the city Jail the man who
is responsible for much of the booze
selling that has been going on in town
this fall. Chief Of Police Swanson
made the arrest shortly after the
Northern Pacific freight from the
south pulled in. A man who has been
suspected of being ''pigger" got off
the train carrying a grip. He started
for the west side, but was followed
by Chief Swanson, who took the lib
erty to examine the grip. He found
about two dozen pints of booze as
we'll as two bottles on the mans per-
son.
The man under arrest did not give
his name to the officers.

A SERIOUS INDICTMENT.

The following news item which has
been going the rounds Of the state press
and apparently is undenied is rather q
serious Indictment of conditions in
North Dakota:

the meeting in this city i,,cj:ldel Prof.
I \. Hoverstad. experimenting Of far
mcrs' institutes for North Dakota, who
is regarded as one Of the best insti-

pear that superintendent Hoverstad Of
the North Dakota farmers institutes
has been loaned to Montana to do in
stitutc work i'll that state, for the real

the work in North Dakota.

for this upon Governor Burke, who We

U. L. Burdick has announced that he

this coming year, so that will leave the

cerned, apparently, to Hanna and AJAX

lance, his halo barely visible on the
horizon. Outside of the Paige-Bren-

don t believe that Andy Miller has a
friend among the newspaper fraternity
of the state. So, perchance, if he is
elected, they cannot be accused of the

The CourierNews complains that
MIR. Hanna does not stand on the
housetops and "holler" his head off
about whom he will support for pres

should Hanna, who is a candidate for
governor, antagonize his friends by
taking hand in the presidential
fight? He says he will support the
peoples choice in his party no mat
ter if it is LaFollette or Taft. That's
fair isn't it? BY the way, who is the
candidate Of the Courier News for
president? -Cooperstown Courier.

MAY BE REIMBURSED
Probable That Tolley Banb Will Sc
Cure Money That Was Burned

Washington, Oca. Ex-senator Nc
Cumber has reopened with officials of
the treasury department the question
Of reimbursing the First National
bank of Tolley for the loss Of $500
in new bank notes through the burn
ing Of the express office at that place
in the fall Of 1908.
1t will be recalled that the bank
sent to the treasury department here
$500 in old and mutilated currency
and in return the department printed
"a like amount in notes of the bank
and expressed it to Tolley. twas not
real money, requiring the original
signatures of the officers of the bank
to make it bonaflde currency.
In due course the package reached
the express Office at Tolley. The agent
met an official Of the bank and in
formed him of it's arrival. For some
reason several days elapsed before
any further steps were taken by the
bank. Meanwhile, the express office
caught fire and was completely des-
troyed, not a vestige Of the $500 in
crisp. new bills remaining.
The express company refused to
make good the loss claiming that it
was not $500, but merely certain pa
per in the form of bank notes but
having no actual value. The Tolley
bank then laid the situation before
the comptroller of the currency and
asked that another $500 be printed to
take the place of the money Destroy
ed.
After careful consideration, the
treasury official refused to comply
with this request, contending that the
regulations require absolute proof Of
the destruction of currency before it
can be replaced. Inasmuch as not
even the charred remains Of the $500
in bank notes had been produced
which would have been all of the
Identification and proof required, the
bank must stand the loss unless the
express company altered its position
in the premises.
There was lurking suspicion in
the minds Of some persons that
theft might have preceded the fire
which destroyed the express office. In
| that event the thieves could have
forged the names of the LINK officials
| thus making the bank notes real
money, circulating them at point
far removed from Tollev.
Inasmuch as three years have
passed and none Of the missing notes
have turned up, Senator McCumber
feels that 1T is fair to presume that
they were utterly destroyed in the
| fire and hopes to convince the treas
ury officials that this is the only reas-
enable position for them to take.
