Cooperstown Courier: The Courier
is for Thos. F. Marshall for national
committeeman. Mr.. Marshall is one
of the strongest progressives in the
state. When in congress he was a
hard working member and was doing
his level best to obtain legislation in
favor of the common people. We have
kindly feeling for the Cakes states
man and We hope when the votes are
counted next month he will have rip
ping big majority.

Cavalier County Republican: Feb
ruary Goth is the appointed time when
large number of the prominent stall
warts, as the Republican party in No.
Dakota will respond to the call of John
Scott of Gilby for mass meeting Of
republicans, and after enough deliber-
alton to make the proposition look real
ly sincere, will finally declare Roose;
welt to be North Dakota's logical can
didate, hands down, for the republican
nomination for president of the United
States There is no reason why every
thing should not go smoothly without
the least danger of the game being
flushed, for there are few progressives
who will care to go to Grand Forks to
play the other fellows game.

As Others See Il

Mandan News: The Hanna Subsid-
lied press of the state is rallying to
the support or nanna.s "pand wagon
Roosevelt cry. These same papers say
that sentiment Is universal for the ex-
president, evidently basing their claims
merely on the self-made attitude OF
their boss and owner. This is SO with
the Grand Forks Herald and Times,
Fargo Forum, Valley City Times-Rec-
ord and Devils Lake World. Has Han
ma better appreciation of the desires
and wishes and opinions of the people
of the state than the other members
in congress? Just consider the atti-2
tude of the remainder of the delega-
ton. w 80 a'' 7. & = I
Here is Helgesen and Gronna, as
avowed supporters of La, Toilette.
We're they not elected by the same
people that placed Hanna in congress?
And more than that there was no ac-
cusations against them of spending
$4,000 to be elected to position
which pays $500 a year. The ideas OF
Helgesen and Gronna are just as rep
resentative of the people, and even
more so, than those of Hanna, and
should be given the. same considera-
ton. -,- s..; -.
The News has more honor for Nc
Cumber's consistency in standing by
his principles of Stalwartism. His vote
in congress indicates his present po-
sition and he has courage to stand oy
it. This bespeaks "Hanna's vertebrae
liking that of a snake"
When old Jud LaMoure said that
"Hanna's name ought to be Yanna SO
he could vote with the majority by oe'
ing at the end of the roll CALL" he
spoke a great truth which is most il.
Illustrative of the luscious congressman
True, Hanna needs some impenetra
BILE coat to hide behind, for he has 8
bad record to cover up before the PEG
pie of North Dakota will sanction him
as the chief executive of their state
Smiles win their way into many things
| but the confidence of the voters of the
state are lost to Hanna and his Pc
litical boss, Alexander Mckenzie, anG
what his hand touches turns to undo
sirable in the politics of the state.
It may even have the same bad eff
feet on Roosevelt's popularity. The
> Roosevelt National League should take
notice.

SUCCESSFUL
Two Officers Are Reappointed
for Terms of Two Years
by Judges.

Miss Estelle Foster and c. A. Massie,
probation officers at the Police Court,
have been reappointed for another term
of two years. The appointments were
made by the two judges of the court,
Alexander r. Mullowny and James L.
Pugh.
The probation system is comparatively
new in Washington, Miss Foster and Mr..
Massie having been in charge of 1t since
the term of Office they have Just COM
pleted 676 cases have been handled by
them. The good results of the system
are becoming apparent, 1t is said, a great
many men and women who were formerly
considered hardened offenders having
been apparently reformed. -.
According to Mr.. Massie, probably the
rection of first offenders. whose offenses
have been due more to thoughtlessness
than to any vicious inclnations. Under
the probation system these people are
given another chance instead of having
to undergo the ignOminy of a. Jail or
workhouse sentence, at the same time
permitting the court to keep a check on
everything they do.
Judge Pugh said:
THE work accomplished by the proba-
probation system is on trial in WASH
ington. and / think that the system is
going to he a great success. This sue
cess will be in large part due to the con-
ScientiouS efforts of the competent Off
Gals in charge of the work."

IN each case the girl was a perfect dream
Some of those damsels turned me down
and others palled upon me after a season
Sufhce 1t to say that 1 married none of
them, but they We're all angels I'm my
sight while the infatuation lasted. I often
marvel upon this phenomenon. After a
girl told me that she couldn't be anything
more than sister to me I began to see
ne ner plemlshes and to congratulate myself
that had never led her to the altar.
Three of those women now live in this
town and not far from this moral family
boarding house. They were the ones 1
loved most passionately. There was Su-
san, with hair like the ravens wing.
There was Matilda, with golden ringlets
and laughing eyes. There was Jemima a
veritable sunbeam. While / was in love
with them 1 felt sure they must have
wings under their raiment They We're too
beautiful. too ethereal to be ordinary
mortals.
They all agreed to be sisters to me
when they handed me the ice pitcher. and
SO L naturally take a brotherly interest
In them: whenever L am blue and dis
couraged / go around to see one of them
and come back home reconciled to nv LOT
and satisfied that it's a good world after
all Susan has large red nose and is in
clined to badness. and she talks bass.
Matilda wears false teeth and Is threat
ened with chin whiskers Jemima has
shriveled up until you can hear her bones
rattle when she walks. I like to call at
their respective abodes in my capacity
