AROUND The S1ATt

I'VE occasionally hear of some one
| who is arranging to sell out his real
estat for the purpose of seeking some
spot on earth where he thinks he can
maze more money, with more COM
fort to himself than he can get in
Cavalier county. Now, our advice to
all these people is, that they go slow
and not be in haste to sell themselves
u, of home h re until they esn
find better place to live in than
they have now. No man should pull
up stakes and emtgrate until he has
visited the place where he proposes
to settle and knows what he will set IN
the new place. little caution In
this matter may save those who ex-
ercrs, it, considerable expense and
trouble" .,.
An attempt is to re made this year
at the regular election to force on the
people, by way of an amendment to
the constitution a ten year term for
the members of the state supreme
court. This would fix it so that one
would be elected every two years.
Some attorney who wanted to secure
stand in with the members of the su--
preme court no doubt drew the bill
and had it presented to the legis!a-
ture providing for this vote and prob
ably helped push 1T through. Whether
the recall Of judges is likely or net
to become a law in this state we
don't believe the people will allow
ten year term to be slipped over on
them, thus making it more difficult to
get rid of a shyster on the bench. -
