II, commences to look as though a mir
acle had been wrought in the Beach Ad-
n Office. Last week the Advance
published two large Taft pictures and
n land Office notice. No proof notices
had appeared in the Advance for a long
time, and in connection with these
published signs comes the announce
ment that the Office has purchased
SIS, 900 or Sc. 900 worth of new material,
including a typese ting machine and
folder, and so far as can be learned the
Chronicle. which burned out three weeks
ago, has not placed an order for new
equipment. These things lead one to
believe that the newspaper wal at Beach
is to cease and that there is a move
on foot for the consolidation of the two
publications. The consolidation would
certainly he a good thing for the pub
fishers and for the business men of
Beach who have been advertising in
two papers where one should have

Morton county is the LARGEST county

an effort is being made to divide the
territory into four parts. The PROPOSE

create Lincoln county, embracing "a
townships of the northwestern part ;
Clark county, embracing "a townships
and a few fractions of the southeastern
part and Grant county. embracing "a
townships of the southwestern part of
Morton county. This division would
leave old Morton in the northeastern
portion, embracing about the same ter
ritory as the three proposed new coun-
ties. with Mandan. the present county
seat, on the extreme eastern side and
New Salem about three miles from the
western extremity. Sweetbrier would
be central east and west on the main
line of the Northern Pacific. with Fort
Rice e the southeastern extremity of

1t was not necessary for Senator P. J..

that he has been one of the administer

drich tariff and at all times standing
with the trust interests. 1t was Senator
McCumber who came to the rescue of

true that he talked and blustered-for

VISITING SCHOOLS

Belfield Times Tn the locals of the
Dickinson Press dated October 18th, we
noticed that Superintendent of Schools
Mary Nolan spent the past week looking
after her duties in the eastern part of
the county. Good thing for the schools
that election day occupies a date on the
calendar-lf only once in two years. At
that many are the schools Miss Nolan
never will visit. And the nerve of her
to ask the voters to use their suffrage
for her reelection
The editor of the Times insinuates
that Miss Nolan did not visit her
schools during 1911. but the records
both at the court house and in the
teachers registers of the various
schools. do not bear out this insinua-
ton, and we are inclined to think that
Editor Dence has been misinformed.
If the qualifications of a county super
intendent are indicated by the number
of school visits made in a year-the
amount of mileage at 10 cents per mile
charged up against the county-then it
may be that Miss Nolan has not been
as diligent as she might have been. for
the records show that she has been very
economical in this respect.
The law says it is the duty of the
superintendent to visit each school once
a year but it is not mandatory.
Miss Nolan's statement published
elsewhere in this issue, shows that she
was visiting schools in 1911 the same
as this year and these are facts that can
be verified by any one.
Supt. c. E. Ward of the Belfeld
school and the republican nominee for
county superintendent of schools. is a
good educator and has a reputation for
excellent work in the county, and the
PRESS is sure that he is too much of a
gentleman to wish to have the good
work of Miss Nolan, his opponent on the
democratic ticket, belittled or mis-
represented.

There are those who have been indus
triously circulating stories over the
county the past few weeks that Fred
Maser. regular republican nominee for
the office of county judge. does not care
for the Office. They are also telling
that old story used before the primaries
that Mr.. Maser is a prohibitionist and
thus trying to injure his chances of cleo
tion with certain classes of people.
MI. Maser is q candidate for the Office
for which he fairly won the nomination
at the primaries. He has not had a
chance of seeing all the voters this fall
and he does not think that a..man should
be expected to neglect his business alto
Rether for campaign purposes. Mr..
Maser will see as many of the voters as
he can between now and November 5th.

NORTON A PERSISTENT AND
CONSISTE MT REPUBLICAN

OOA>OAO4 ' ANAA OA4A4OT14N
Viewed from this distance it looks as
if Secretary Of State Norton would have
an easy victory for member of congress
in the third district, but it i3 stated
that forces are al work to deprive the
voters of their choice and to bring about
the election of another. Mr.. Norton re-
ceived the plurality Of the votes and the
republican candidates received 10, 6O2
votes, some 8, 243 votes more than the
democratic choice for the nomination.
The sole offense which can be charged
to Mr.. Norton is that he has been a per-
sistent and consistent progressive, has
never fawned upon those who might
dole out some patronage or place and
has not hesitated to take his stand early
in the game, and let others know where
he could be found. If that is %reprehen-
sible, then his course and attitude has
been very consistently and p%ersistently
bad. But we do not believe that the
people of the third district will be de-
ceived into voting against Mr.. Norton
and those principles for which he has
stood and worked. He should be elected
to Congress by an overwhelming major

The proposed amendment to the state
constitution extending the term of
judges of the supreme court from six to
ten years will. We think, find little
favor with thinking voters. This meas
ure was quietly slipped through the leg
islature and now comes to the people.
Its friends argue that with the initia-
tive, referendum and recall the people
can remove a poor judge. But we have
not got the initiative, referendum and
recall and may not get them, and we
think the people will feel that the
present term of six years is long enough
for a poor judge and that a good judge
has little to fear in coming before the
people for reelection. The amendment
should be voted down.

ROOSEVELT A GREAT. POWER

Following the attempt to take Theo-

Record Herald says:
mi. Roosevelt is easily the most
conspicuous man in American public
life. the one who has the largest and
most enthusiastic and devoted personal
following. He has not only held the
highest Office in the land but he was a
great power in that Office. and he has
remained a tremendous force among us
since his term az president expired.
Notwithstanding partisan controversies
