BURKE,s EXCUSE.

The expected happened with refer
ence to Governor Burke and the pardon
board. The onslaught for the acts of
the board were too much for him and
without sanctioning the acts of the
board, the governor hastens to say that
he was out of the state.
The fact that some have blamed the
governor for the acts of the pardon
GARD, caused him t. make the alibi
that he was out of the state. and now
from every corner Of North Dakota
romes the question, ''Wss the g,rcrAor
ignorant Of what the pardon board
was doing7' To such question the
answer can only be, "If Governor
Burke did not know what was doing in
North Dakota he should have known"
But it is safe to say, however, that he
did not know what the pardon board
was doing, and in any event, he is just
as responsible for what was doing
while he was out of the state as he
would be while in it. It is lame ex-
cuse for the governor to say that he
was away, and it is still worse be-
cause by so saying he admits that the
pardon boards acts are deserving of
all the criticism they are getting-and
so is Governor Burke, no matter wheth-
er he knew or did not know what the
pardon board was doing.

ORGANIZING THE INDIANS.

A movement has been undertaken to
organize all North American Indians
into fraternal association. To that
end all tribes have been requested to
send delegates to a convention to be
held in Washington during the winter.
The organization Of fraternal societies
and national associations is one of the
most widespread of American indus
tries. It is in fact the only one of
our industries so generally practiced
that it may be classed as a habit.
Whenever two or three Americans meet
a new society is imminent. Moreover,
all our foreign fcllow-citizens are
prompt to follow our lead. Why, then,
has the original native been so long a
sharer in our civilization without ad-
opting course which would enable
him to wear feathers and elect

prudence on the part Of congress taxa
ton in the way of tariffs may be re-
duced without causing deficit. To be
sure, the Democrats of the house have
not made a good beginning by passing
the big pension bill and preparing for
public buildings and river improve
ment bills, but these bills have not vet
become laws and are not likely to be
approved by the senate and the presi-
dent without substantial pruning, at
least. The house Democrats may be
saved from their extravagant folly by
the Republicans.
The tariff agitation and the presiden-

effect upon business, of course, but
there is reason to believe that the first
mentioned will not upset conditions
seriously, since business men are bear.

A travelling man was bemoaning his
fate to little knot of interested aud
itors in the hotel lobby last night. The
young man had been married about
two years ago and is the proud father
of few months old baby boy. He and
his wife recently had dispute over
domestic matters which resulted in a
serious quarrel and finally in mutual
agreement to apply for divorce.
Then the question as to the guard
ianship of the child became an issue,
each refusing to permit the other to
have the care and joy of rearing the
infant. Finally the young husband IS
face lit up with pleasure and he sug-
gested to his wife that each should
have the child for stipulated period
Of time.
"She agreed" said the woe-begone
benedict, "and I was at last happy,
thinking that he had found way out
of our difficulties, until I asked her
when she would prefer to have my son
and heir.
"'Oh, she replied, there's to be no,
question about that I must have him
during the day-you can have him
nights
"Can you blame me for being down

hold the customary fire, smoke and

"the most astounding bargains that.
have ever been recorded in the history
Of matrimonial affairs" or words to
that effect. Of course there are several
more of the sterotyped "bargain sale'
phrases that could be used, such as:
"These licenses are warranted to be
new in every particular-no second
hand or shop worn articles offered
guaranteed to last an ordinary lifetime
with ordinary care.' There is one of
the usual statements that would hard
ly apply in this case, tThese' licenses
are offered at. such sacrifice that
every man, no matter what his circ'n,-
stances, cannot afford to let the oppor-
tunity pass without buying at least a
half dozen" while "only ona to q

plicable.
