hi CABINET POSITION.

While North Dakota generally would be pleased to see this
state land in the cabinet column and Governor Burke receive
the position as secretary of the interior, it is evident that
other states think different and President Van Hise of the
University of Wisconsin is being strongly urged as the proper
man to fill this particular position. The Butte, Mont,) Miner
has the following to say with reference to Governor Burke:
One of Governor Burke's good political friends in North Da-
kota is sending out a circular letter to prominent democrats
and newspapers of that and other political faiths, urging that
the.executive of the state mentioned be appointed secretary
of the interior.
This appeal is directed particularly to the citizens of the
Northwest states, and this does not appear to make much of a
hit with the Spokane Chronicle, which, under the heading,
Cant Blame EN- for Wanting to be in the Northwest says
editorially:
"Fargo, n. D, is 1000 miles from the Atlantic ocean and
1880 miles from the Pacific.
"Out from Fargo comes a prettily printed plea that the
northwest states have never had representation in the presi.
dents cabinet Coupled with this is a gentle announcement
that a united effort is being made to induce Presdent-elect
Wilson to name Gov. John Burke of North Dakota secretary
of the Interior
probably Gov. John Burke is a nice man. So are lots of
democrats in Montana and Oregon. Probably he has some
ability. So have lots of democrats in Washington and Idaho.
If, in the placid judgment of Woodrow Wilson, John Burke is
as "a representative of the northwest states in the presidents
cabinet
well Professor Wilson has studied geography. He ought
to know where the real northwest u.s."
Citizens of Montana have.no little admiration for Governor
Burke, and they believe he would make a very good vice presi
dent, and for that reason their delegates at the Baltimore
convention supported him Loyalty for that nomination.
81 There is no question that he is well fitted to preside over
the United States senate, and doubtless he would make a bet
ter secretary of the interior than any eastern man who could
he named for the position, but the northwest feels that it has

trained insurance mon of the country.
1t is held by many good lawyers
that the court has no authority to pass
upon the adequacy of a rate, that be.
ing q matter which must be left under
the representative system. of govern.
ment inherent in Their fr~aternals, ia
the members themselves, through the
action Of the head representative body.
What an adequate rate is, which il
required for the perpetuity Of a , order
Of any kind, is a closed question to ex.
perts in the insurance business, hut it
is evidently yet In open question to
the courts.
The new rate, 30 far as new mem.
bers are concerned were put into effort
last May, and over 80, 900 members
have joined the order, since that time,
each paying the new rates on his cerri.
hcate. The society thus finds itself in
a position where by the terms Of the
certificates Of these new members, il
is charging rates which the cour,
deems unreasonable and excessive.
In addition to this, iftthese new mem
bers hold their certificates, two classes
are created, SO far as rates are con.
cerned, the n class paying the new
or adequate rates, and the other class
paying the old rates. The officials, and
well wishers Of this order, and othe,
fraternal orders, hope that the higher
court, if it takes jurisdiction Of the
question, Of an adequate rate, will see
matters as experts see them, and take
an entirely different view from that
taken by Judge shirley.-Western I'm.

THE DEMOCRATIC LANDSLIDE.
Since the catastrophe Of November
9Th, we have heard much, read much
and seen much Of the so-called demo.
cratic "landslide'' and most people
have been willing 70 take it for grant
ed that there really was q landslide and
that Wilson was elected by the great.
est popular vote ever accorded . can.
didate for president. "A psrusnl Of the
final hgures shows that this is enron.
eous.
In 1908 Bryan, who didn't come VITA
in more than . million votes Of being
elected; received $685. 8 votes. In
1912 Wilson received 6,158,748 votes,
OF 236,434 less than Bryan in 1908,
when that distinguished gentleman did
not, as We have shown, come anywhere
near getting . majority Of the popular
vote. s:
Take al an example our own state
Of North Dakota. Here Wilson polled
q total Of 1886 votes as against a..
56s cast for Roosevelt, 22,o92 for Taft,
6,740 for Debs and 1890 for Chain. In
other words Wilson received less than
one in every three votes cast for pres.
ident in this state, and yet the elector.
al vote goes to him.
The truth is that Wilson is, not the
popular choice for president. He was
simply lucky and slipped in while the
two factions Of the republican party
were giving a good imitation Of the
famous Kilkenny cats.
The theory that majority does, and
by virtue Of being q majority, should
rule, received q sad jolt III the late un-
pleasantness. But we have to stand it,
at least for the next o u years.
And meanwhile the republican party
will nurse its hurts and eventually
awake to a realization of how many
different kinds of ---- -- fools
are within its ranks.

A great cry is going up from hungry
democrats against the action taken by
President Taft when he put about 49,
600 postmasters under the protection
Of the civil service laws. If this order
stands there will be only 10000 places
in the entire federal government to be
filed by the new president.
Naturally the famished democratic
onlce-seekers protest bitterly, against
such barriers in the way Of satisfy
ing their appetite for public jobs and
fat salaries from the national treasure.
They are demanding that Governor
Wilson shall revoke President Taft =

The daily press is making "a lot of
unnecessary fuss over the Jack John
son-Lucille Cameron episode. In every
large city there is q class Of white wo.
men who have fa-.en so low that thaJ
are willing to bear the stigma Of the
term g nigger-chasers." Likewise there
is a class of negroes whose highest am
bition is to have a white wife or at
least q white mistress. IF all or even
part Of the rumors in circulation are
true, Lucille Cameron wa q "soiled
doves" before she ever met Jack John
son. Neither Cameron nor johnson is
typical Of the race to. which they be-
long. Rather, both are abnormals. The
negro is a big black brute, and the
woman lis a soft, white one, but none
the less a brute. We should consider
them well suited to each, other, and to
consider the incident closed.

EFFECTS OF the PARcE1s POST,

EFFECTS OF TIE PARCELS POST,
The parcel post law which becomes
effective Jan. l opens up. a new field
Of opportunity to the merchant. This
field will be open IT. practically any
merchants who plans to develop q mail.
order business. That It. will increase
the mail order business there can be
no doubt. Whether the mail order
is a good thing or q bad thing is
not the question: On Jan. / it will be.
come a most potent fact that must be
met.
If the merchants Of North Dakota
make arrangements; to: take advantage
Of. the. possibilities Of this new law
they can reap a splendid harvest.

How q Fargo merchant will: benefit
over a'St. Paul Or Chicago: merchant
can best be explained BY an example.
For instance a pair Of shoes boxed for

Sending the shoes by express would
cost q Fargo merchant IS cents, a st.
Paul merchant 40 cents and q Chicago
merchant IS cents.
In North Dakota there are $50 rural
routes. Each route serves An average
Of 100 families. This means that S..
600 families living in rural districts in
North Dakota will be able TO- have
goods delivered at their door. for a
less rate than they "a now have the
goods delivered to their home town.
There is no question but that the
big catalogue houses will make a
strenuous effort to benefit by this law,
but it the local merchants and other
North Dakota merchants will go after
this business, as they can, through
their local papers, this trade can be
kept at home.-Fargo Forum.

considerable Importance to the farm.

farmers from fraud and oppression in

sion the night to investigate the moth.
DDS Of the bonding companies who fur.
nish the bonds for the two thousand
elevators doing business throughout
the state.
The litigation, briefly reviewed,
which called forth the decision Of the
supreme court grew out Of an attempt
on the part Of the commission to force
the bonding company to make good the
SUM Of $4,000 which n Samuel Kittlrs
a grain dealer at Turtle Lake. owed
the farmers in that vicinity when he
went into bankruptcy.
The Dakota Trust company, which
had furnished the bonds for HITLER
denied the right Of the commission "a
interfere in the matter, and claimed
that it was only fair that they, the
bonding company, should lave he right
to settle with Kittler's creditors in any
manner they saw At.
The commissioners retorted with q
threat to cancel the other bonds of the
company then outstanding.
