Congressman Slayden's anti-third
term resolution developed one Of the
most amusing situations the house has
faced for some time. While it was
pending action, senator-clect Ollie
James of Kentucky, Bryan-progressive
Democrat, walked over to group OF
Democratic friends and demanded:
"Don't you know that if you adopt
this resolution it'll nominate Roosevelt
for PRESIDENT"
"Nominate nothing" replied one of
his hearers. "Anyhow, suppose it does
Wen beat him out of his boots.''
"Why, you can't beat one side Of
him. retorted the man who, having
just concluded a long and successful
campaign, thinks he knows how the
people are thinking.

Democrats. No more significant dem.

One of the most amusing studies
that can be called to the attention Of
anyone is the different things that are
scrubbed on the telephone book while
parties are standing by the phone wait

This is especially interesting if you
happen to get hold of a book where
someone who has been deeply gagged
in thought other than the message that
is being delivered or sent. Many peo-
pie air themselves unknowingly in this
way.
6 In the drug stores particularly are
these things noticed more than any
where else. Almost every proper name
can be seen on the cover of the phone
book and some Of them traced over
q hundred times. On this case it is

party was thinking Of. Where you find

In order that Ramsey county might
be properly represented at the state
mass convention to select delegates to
advance the candidacy of Theodore
Roosevelt as far as North Dakota is
concerned, Ramsey county will hold q
mass convention next Saturday after
noon to select delegates to the Grand
Forks event, which will be held Feb
ruary 20.
The idea, conceived by Hon. F. a.
Baker of Edmore, for county mass
convention, made in his motion, which
was literally seconded is indeed a good
one, in that it gives proper represent
alton from over the entire county, and
Ramsey county will be able to sing
the praises of the Colonel in the verv
best way, knowing full well that it will
be properly represented.
While this county is not alone in the
mass convention idea, yet the plan was
inaugurated in this county and has
met with the approval of others in the
state, especially those who through Mr..

aid and Times are able to have an op.
portunity to express their will.
The World trusts that many from

WHO IS GUILTYs

The World had hoped that by this
time the fellow from Colorado would
see the folly Of his ways and repent Of
his disgraceful acts, but it is ha-l fol
one who has been !'chjnd tho bars to
ever look upon this woc.J in anything
but cold manner, and while it appears
cruel to him, surely it must seem more
cruel to the onlooker to have him with
in the realm. To protec. his boss and
save him from humiliation, the man
who writes scurilous articles about his
neighbors, is the very fellow who is far
more guilty himself. Such a man
would lie on the witness stand and say
that he never bought liquor in a place
claimed to be owned by the man, under
whom he works. This same fellow
who would enforce the laws Of pool
rooms and prevent all gambling woul!
not dare state that the gambling is be-
ing done in a building owned and con-
trolled by his only advertiser. One
would think that forty dollars could be
easily secured in Devils Lake because
the officials do not attend to duty, but
when one Of his own tribe permits and
knows that gambling is going on on
his premises, the officials might find it
difficult to enforce the law, being un-
able to get the information from the
proper source, the. source that is al
ways looking after his neighbours af-
fairs. One of the pool rooms where
"seven-up" is pastime and where the
"silk-stocking" boys hang out is be-
ing watched by the officials but goes
on unnoticed by the man with the
checkered career, probably because
these same "silk-stocking' boys
were very evident at Bismark

RADIO mans wishes. + is al different
