Hanna Coming to Fight

Washington, May II. -Representa-
tive Hanna of North Dakota will leave
to-day for his state to remain until af-
ter the June primaries. He will enter
the campaign in the interests of his
candidacy for governor.
We understand from the above that
the great and mighty Hanna, who is
long on promises and short on memory,
is going to call upon us with his usual
amount of baled hay and it is reported
that one Charley Billows will have
charge of this baled hay. The said
Billows is a man who was post master
at Turtle Lake and was always short
in his accounts when the Inspector came
around but by and through the pull Of
the honorable congressman, was kept
in office in spite of the protests Of the
officials. This Mr.. Billows, who never
voted a straight republican ticket, is
now a blind pig inspector in Minnesota,
a position Hanna no doubt helped him
secure. Billows has helped Hanna dish
out baled hay before and may again.
We do not look for any here but would
like a few rocks for u harbor.

King Frederick VIII of Denmark
died in Hamburg, Germany last Tues
day. The king was on his way home
from a long trip in the south where he
had been convalescing from a serious
illness. He was out for a walk alone
when he had an attack of apoplexy and
fell. He was taken to a hospital where
he died before he was recognized. His
remains were taken to Copenhagen for
interment. The king was a great fav-
orite and his death will be deeply
mourned.

Hon. George Winship, former pro-
prietor and editor of the Grand Forks
Herald and one of the pioneer news
paper men of this state, is now out
west but is still interested in politics
in this state. He worked for q quarter
of a century to take the rule away
from the bosses, knowing the people
were Eve represented but by one
man. Mr.. Winship now gives to the
voters some good advice that is we'll
worth following if they want to be re-
presented direct. He says: III. +.
Helgeson in the First district, George
M. Young in the Second district, and
P. D. Norton in the Third form a trio
of candidates who merit the endorse
ment of the people, and l have so much
confidence in the discriminating judg-
ment Of the electors of North Dakota
that I feel assured that no mistake will
be made when the polls close the battle
of ballots or the 26th day Of June.
Helgelson, Young and Norton would
reflect credit on the state in the ca
of congressman and I sincerely
hope they will be nominated"

Do Not Elect Promises

The woods are full of legislative can
didates. The air is thick with fair
promises Of what each would do il

Every platform is q glittering pledge.
Our candidates are, before election, q
noble band Of patriots.
Twas ever thus from childhood's
hour. Campaign promises are always
as redolent Of virtue % Q rose Of per.
fume. and as pristine in their beauty Al
. May morning.
But promises are often torn up after
election. Everybody promises, and

ahould be scrutinized.

ahould be scrutinized.
The man should be his own platform.
A. huge PERCENTAGE Of all the plat
forms that were ever written have
been ridden over, roughshod. The
pledges in national platforms have beer
broken. All parties have done it.
There never was a more fragrant case
than the ruthless disregard Of the tariff
promises in the last national republican
platform.
State platforms have, in the perfor.
nance, been made mere lies, many
time. City platforms have been the
vehicle for unlimited Ananiasing. AND
the personal platforms Of many Of
those now making the fairest and most
virtuous professions will not, if the
usual rule be followed, be worth the
paper on which they are written.
1t is not platforms, but men, that
should be elected. Past records of can.
didates are a fair promise of what they
will do hereafter. No man can be a
lodging, sidestepping politician for q
years, and then burst out as q full orbed
patriot.
The thing for the voter to do is to
look straight at the man, and estimate
what he will do by whet he has done.
His past is the best earnest of what he
will be in the future. A stream does
not rise higher than its source. A
pure stream does not issue from a con-
taminated fountain.
There is crying need for good, stable
men in the legislature. 1t is the short
comings of past legislatures that make
the initiative over used. 1t was those
shortcomings and follies that caused
the initiative and referendum to be
devised. The initiativeand referen-
dunn are living protests against
past legislative failures. They are an
every day and every hour Indictment of
broken promises in past legislatures.
Their present over use is i%ncontro-
vertible evidence of the lack Of conf
dence in legislatures, caused by the
failures and follies of past sessions,
There is nothing nor neededin North
Dakota than a good legislature, If
such a body is not selected, it will be
due to the lassitude and lack of Interest
by the citizens. 1t is the citizens who
are on trial. They ear do much to
make the initiative and referendum less
used by electing men instead Of
promises.

VIII Win Out

P. D. Norton, secretary of state,
passed through Washburn Wednesday
on his way to Max and Minot. It is a
noticeable fact that all are swinging
in line for Norton, the prominent can
didate for congress from this district.
Mr.. Norton has a reputation of having
staying qualities and does not switch
with the wind. His word signified
something. He has made good as a
secretary of state and will no doubt
make good as a congressman. It is
time the people send a man to congress
in place of the wishy-washies that have
represented this state for years.
