LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATES.

Cass county is to select two state
senators and seven members of the
lower branch of the legislature Nov.
5. In the Ninth district, which COM
prises Fargo, r. NJ. Pollock is the cam
didate for senator and Messrs. Nc
Donald, Twichell and Lewis are the
candidates for the house.
Mr.. Pollock is an old resident of
Cass county. He has been prominent
in public life inc has served as states
attorney and a member of the lower
house over which body he presided as
speaker. He is pitted for election
against the strongest democrat the
party could find in Fargo, w. P.
Porterield. Fargo is normally re-
publican by a large majority-and if
every republican votes the ticket
Straight-Mr. Pollock will be elected.
There should be no question about the
selection of the three members for
the lower house.
In the Tenth district, which includes
the central part of the county, there
are two members of the Legislature to
be chosen, the state senator being a
hold over. The candidates are B. n.
Sandbeck n John Dynes. 1t is re-
garded as certain they will win.
In the Eleventh, the western side of
the county, State Senator Talcott IS
up for reelection. Any man who
beats Frank Talcott viii certainly be
compelled to sprint some. His long
service in the upper branch Of the
legislature should insure his return.
The nominees for the lower branch
from that district are Messrs. Hill and
Watt, two good men who stand well
in the district.

COMMONS CLUB MEET
A Good Attendance at the Dinner and
Meeting Last Night and Some Fine
Addresses Heard.

There was a good attendance at the
meeting of the Commons Club last
night which was preceded by a din
ner at the commercial club dining
room. On account of the Jane Adams
meeting at the opera house the diff
ferent papers were cut rather short,
but each of the two principal speakers
did remarkably well. Prof. Al. g.
Arvold read a paper on The Recall of
Public officials and he said that the
recall was growing in popularity be-
cause conditions demanded it, and he
cited the Declaration of independence
toy show that the people were at all
times to rule. and he cited the fact
that the employer of labor always had
the right to hire and discharge his
employees, taking the position that the
public official Is but a servant and
hired empIoye.
Robert B. Blakemore read a paper
on Recall in judicial Decisions, and
his was d most mastery effort. He
believed What his idea would be a check
on the judiciary in a measure.
Both of the papers were followed by
discussions that were interesting,
several Of the members taking part in
them.

NOTED ACTORS
NARROW ESCAPE

Paul Gilmore and five members OF
his company, narrowly escaped a very
serious accident when their automo-
bile turned turtle. Mr.. Gilmore, with
a few members of his company, have
been combining business with pleasure
since last March, travelling in autos
through the states from Florida to and
through Canada, and 1t was while
making the jump from st. John, N. B.,
to Sherbrook, Quebec, the accident
happened. They were going al about
twenty-five miles an hour when the
driver discovered a washed-out
bridge, and it was to aoid this that
machine was turned to one side of
the road, running it up a short but
steep incline, causing 1t to turn over.
A. Brown. stage director, sustained
a broken ankle and internal injuries.
Mr.. Gilmore and the other members
escaped without anything more seri-
Gus than a bad shake. up, which called
for a short rest, after which they re-
opened the eason at Peterabnro, On
talio. CANADA.
Mr.. Gilmore will be remembered in
The Mummy and the Hummins Bird.
He will appear here oon in his great
success, The Havoc.

Her frightened family hurried her off
to the nearest hospital where the sur
geon, after having her under an an
esthetic for an hour, finally succeeded
In getting her jaw back to its normal
place. He said, however, it was the
worst case of di~slocation he had ever
seen.
OF course man will not be mean
enough to say 81 told you SOL That
would be foreign to his nature. But
still he is going to do the proper
thing and use this incident as an argu-
ment against other feminine practices
that a~maze-when they do not alright
him.
There Is, for example, the custom Of
filling the mouth with hairpins when
the couture is being made. The ca
pacity Of the feminine mouth for such
storage has long amazed men, no less
than womans ability to carry On a
long conversation and articulate just
as distinctly as If speech had a clear
track. That a be pointed out as
dangerous now-and may be some
heed will be paid to masculine warm
ings.
Certainly the universal custom Of
woman-when doing a little plain sew
ing at home Of putting pins in her
mouth as a substitute for a pincush-
ion-cannot be called entirely safe
after this accident from the far less
deadly clothespin.

DEAD LETTER LAWS.

Unreasonable, illogical and foolish
laws-Which are enacted during a
period of momentary imbeciIity on
the part of law-making bodies be-
come a burden to the statute books,
falling by common consent into the
list of d~ead-letter laws.
Such laws ought not to be passed
fortune of this kind befalls a state the
first opportunity should be taken ad-
vantage of to repeal them.
Though the people of Kansas are
fully alive to the public interest, being
intelligent, progressive and practical
their legislatures have from time to
time committed the folly of enacting
laws that have died of their own
weakness.
Here are some. of the foolish laws of
Kansas:
To fail to clean a hen house once
every twenty-four hours, $25 fine.
To sell a dime novel with account
of crime, 500 fine.
~ hSSP "bAa I"SNSNSB Wv
To talk back to a policeman, 500.
To sic" one dog on another, 800.
To hitch a horse to a weight weigh
ing less han thirty pounds, $25.
To throw rice at newIy-wed couples,
500.
To white on a fence, $25.
To spit a wad of gum in a street
car. SIS.
To carry a stone out of another
mans yard, $50.
To throw a banana peeling in Crow
creek, 800.
To watch a corn doctor work his
jaw on the street, $50.
While some of these laws are not
utterly foolish, there seems not to be
enough good in any of them to have
warranted their enactment. Certainly
the public welfare did not demand the
passage Of such laws, and it is discred-
liable to the legislature that squander-
ed its time in considering them.
Every state has to suffer to some
extent on account of ill-advised, fool
ish and expensive laws.
North Dakota has many foolish
measures that should be wiped off its
statutes. Many of them are hobby
measures that some fellow got through
for his own satisfaction or to please
some constituent.

CORN is KING.

AS a result of the prizes offered in
contests corr is rapidly becoming a
more popular crop in North Dakota.
Corn is the king of all food crops
in the United States-and it is grow
ing in Importance in all parts of the
world.
1t was found by Columbus in the
West Indies and introduced by him
into Europe. The English settlers in
Virginia n New England found it
cultivated by the Indians-who were
at that time engaged in simple agri-
culture n who had permanent viii
lagos.
While its use has extended very
slowly in Europe 1t has become Of
general use in this country, being en-
ployed for human food, and for live
stock, n for various other purposes
Its byproducts entering into a wide
range Of uses.
No food crop in this country is of
more Importance than the corn crop.
A bulletin of the United States De-
1artment of agriculture, in a cOmpar-
alive statement Of the value and acre
age OF the various food crops, shows
that corn exceeds in value, yield and
acreage-the combined crops of wheat,
oats. barley. fax, rye, buckWheat and
potatoes.
To demonstrate the value and mag
nitude of the corn crop it is pointed
put that an increased value of 1 cent
a bushel would add SIS. 200, 900 to the
profit of the corn ~raisers-while one
bushel an acre increase in the produc-
ton. at so cents per bushel, would add
$50,000,000 annually to the wealth of
this country.
Those who have made a study of
crops, appreciating the Importance of
increasing the yield per acre, have
been trying to bring about the needed
Improvement by teaching this valu-
able lesson to the farmers. The plea
Is a good one-that all those who
False corn should endeavor to SO i'm
Drove their soil and their methods of
cultivation as to grow two ears of
corn-where they have heretofore
grown only one. The point is to in
the yield without the increase
of cos or labor.
Many corn raisers have done this.
and many more will do it in the flu
ture.

The Orphaum.

Those who attended the Orpheum
last night had the pleasure of seeing
Fowler. The big act is that of Poney
Moore & Davey, a new novelty in
singing and dancing that was appre-
ciated. Winnifred Stewart appeared
in songs. She is known as the woman
with the mans voice and she more
than made good. Holman Bros. have
a new comedy horizontal bar act that
made their time on the stage pass
pleasantly and the genteel Rowland
Sisters, in their neat little musical act
were exceptionally good. The show
opened and closed with the great Or
pheumscope moving pictures and the
Professor Coscio orchestra, making a
very fine bill.

Avoid sedativo Cough Medicines.

If you want TO contribute directly
TO the occurrence of capillary bron-
chitis and pneumonia use cough medi-
cines that contain iodine, morphine, her.
DIN and other sedatives when you have
a cough or cold. An expectorant like
C~hamberlain's Cough Remedy is what
is needed. That cleans out the culture
beds or breeding places for germ dis
eases. That is why pneumonia never
results from a cold when Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is used. 1t has
a world wide reputation for it's cures.
1t contains no morphine or other SCI
dative. For sale by all dealers.-Advt.

thirty-five minutes. during which time
they do end stunts, singing and dane

each have a new novelty song, and the
singing of the two ladies was much
enjoyed, especially that of Miss Dare
who has a song that is well suited to
her voice. The pictures were the An
mated Weekly, What the Bell Told
and the Hoodoo Letter, giving a fine
entertainment. The two greatest
double reels that ever came to Fargo
will be here at the Grand the last half.

Press Comment

Rhame Review: The Review is a
republican paper, and as such, is sup
porting the republican ticket in the
main. We are for Taft, because we
believe the best interests of the coun-
try at large will be best conserved by
his reelection, even though he a
made mistakes as president. Our posi-
ton on the state ticket is we'll known
to u readers. We advocate the cleo
ton of L. B. Hanna for governor, on
his record as a business man and IN
congress, because he will give the
state a business administration, some-
thing hat is needed. The balance or
the state ticket Is as good as is usually
placed in nomination, and while there
are one or two weak spots, we are
making no fight on the state ticket.
In regard to the county ticket, just
watch what we have to say between
now and election. None of the matter
appearing in this column is advertise
ing, but is either our own candi opin-
ion, or when taken from other papers
is credited to them, published be-
cause 1t accords with our opinion. Any
matter for which we receive pay or ex-
pect to receive pay, will be plainly
marked advertising, as the law re-
quires. We do not expect everybody
to agree with us, nor should others ex-
pect us to see things as they see them.
We also wish to make it plainly UNI
