The First Day in Congress

Assuming that Thomas B. Reid was right when he described a statesman as a dead politician, then we have in the reassembline of Congress the greatest array of statesmen ever collected under the Capitol dome. The shattered phalanxes of Republicans are on deck, but like Christians in Tur- key they wonder what is to hap pen next. Never forgetful of the ldes of November they wonder whether anything worse can pos sibly happen. Not a single Dem ocrat, need be told that he is a part of "the whole show knows it.
 It was considered quite natural that Speaker Champ Clark should , break two great mallets in less than an hour and a half of the first session, but one cannot help wondering how many the Speak CT would have required in the same length of time had the ma jority rule been in force in the Baltimore convention. "The House will be in order," he would declare, giving at the same time mighty whacks with a mighty gavel. But surely good old Champ while repeating this phrase sixty times a minute for eighty odd minutes on the opening day of Congress, could never have meant it once, another striking illustra- tion in progress since George Washington confessed the cherry tree incident.
 O o O
 Strange though it may seem, during the continuous round of ovations in the House on the op- ening day, ex-Speaker Cannon, erstwhile arch enemy of every Democratic policy, was accorded the monster ovation of the day. In March he will have completed nearly forty years service in the House, and though official Can non and Cannonism have been assailed throughout the country, yet Cannon, the Uncle Joe" kind, is so likable and unique that not even the most partisan Dem ocrats in the Chamber attempted to refrain from showing their kindly feeling toward the good old scout whose scalp has so long been eagerly sought. Included in the cheering game, which was equal in velocity to a football rush, and in vociferousness a ri- val of the motor cycle, four Gov ernors-elect were given distinct recognition, they being Cox ot Ohio, Robinson of Arkansas, Sul- ger of New York, and Hanna o1 North Dakota.

Good clothes make you look better; good houses make the whole town look better.
 Don't work for bigger town merely-work for a better town.
 Which are you trying to do- boost this town or bust this town.
 The man who says he is merely living in the town is merely liv- ing on it.
 Try to say a good word about the town and it will soon be a habit, not an effort.
 Don't be satisfied merely to live in this town-help make a better town to live in.
 Don't you ever believe that every knock is a boost; but every failure to boost IS knock.
 It is easy for other towns to be bigger than this; there is no req why they should be any better.
 Sometimes opportunity knocks at a mans door and he doesn't t hear it because he is doing so much knocking himself.

Opening of the Senate was a sober affair, as the hour glass of life had spent it's sands, and three of the members of the worlds greatest legislative body hadi in a few short weeks fallen with the autumn leaves to enrich mother earth. Vice President Sherman was gone, and so were Senators Hepburn and Reyner. The ses- sion was devoted entirely to the memory of those who had fallen, and with grave and thoughtful demeanor those in the Senate ob- served the brief proceedings. In the evening as the writer of this paragraph met Sen. LaFollette, who was trudging along toward home with bowed head. The i'm patient gladiator like the other Senators, had been unable to shake off the depression of a scene which emphasized the in significance of man.

Grand Forks.-At a meeting of the
Grand Forks county district Of the
Meridian Road association and the
Grand Forks good roads commission al
the commercial club it was decided to
change the route of the Meridian road
through the southern part of the
county.
The new route is two miles west
from the one previously selected. At
the so.cailed White place. instead Of
going a quarter of a mile east, the
road leads q mile and three-quarters
to the west and thence straight south.
An interesting announcement at
last nights meeting was that County
Commissioner Donovan OF Thompson
had guaranteed that the road for a
distance Of eighteen miles would be
maintained In ftrst-class condition in
the summer months by Thompson
boosters.
Grand Forks implement dealers are
taking an active part in road building
In the county this year. Through their
efforts in providing drags and other
road machinery o work will be
done within the next few days.
