ible as Boss Macarthur directed
through the circulars called Cold
Facts, issued over T, c. Kelly's Eame
president Of the John Bruegger
club" which was never in existence,
in the last moments of the cam
paign, when it vas too late for any
Of the gentlemen to reply.
The North Dakota Democrat sup
ported Senator DuiS for national
committeeman, and would have liked
to have seen him elected. 1t feels that
all the gentlemen opposing him are
worthy of the trust of the democra
tic voters of-the party. had the party
so declared. In Mr.. Bruegger The
North Dakota Democrat feels tina a
servant of the party has been elected
who will meet its requirements and
fill the position capably, but we hope
he will at nee fling from him the
odium of a would-be boss, a burden
which he cannot afford to carry in
this day and age. and particularly
in this state.
On Fargo's streets since the cleo
ton, it has been rumored that the
democratic boss who holds down the
job Of state inspector of oils-which
is one of the latest jobs in the state,
has said that should there be a demo-
crat president next year, the White
House win not dictate to Mr.. Brueg-
ger, that no body as hat gentleman's
ear but myself. We hope Mr..
Bruegger will not allow himself to
be dictated to by this self appointed
and present unworthy official Of North
Dakota democracy.
If Boss Macarthur is as great as he
thinks he is and his machines infu-
ence throughout the state is para
mount, he could nave elected Mr.. Nc
Lean, who came within three votes
of carrying Cass county, but he turn
ed his support at the last moment to
Mr.. Bruegger and knitted his friends
for his own selfish ends. The reasons
he gave for his flop from the game
warden to the newly elected com
mitteeman were to bring fractional
differences and the party together.
The truth of the matter is, there
were no factional differences In the
state democratic party excepting over
Macarthur himself as he will prob
ably learn a little later on.

WANT TWIcHELL.

One Of the peculiar features Of the
recent primaries is the effort Of GER
tain insurgents to induce Treadwell
Twichell OF cass county to enter the
yubernatorial race
MI. IwichelI is in a rather peculiar
position. He was a participant In the
convention that named Buchanan.
He would have to be voluntarily releas-
nd from that--or else Buchanan would
have to withdraw-to leave him in a
position to make the race.
Mr.. Twichell was a candidate for
the nomination before the first state
primaries four years ago and was
beaten by c. "A. Johnson. He has been

JONES OF ROCK.


1t had been rumored that the demo-
cratic bosses in North Dakota were
successful in their efforts to keep
Zones of Rock out OF the race for
the democratic gubernatorial race,
Later advices are to the effect that
Warden IZellstrom Of the state pen is
not to have a clear feld-but that the
LaMoure county official will enter the
contest.
Jones is a good speaker, very ambi-
tious and is reported to have a lot OF
encouragement from the democrats
who are not too closely tied up with
Governor Burke. Some of the latter
do not want Hellstrom. Others are
opposed to Hellstrom for fear he will
withdraw and have the committee
name Burke. s
These are reported to favor the can
didacy Of the states attorney from
LaMoure and they also insist that as
he is a young man he will be able to
capture a lot of first voters" through
his candidacy-and build up the dem
ocratic organization in the state.

PEOPLE ARE HONEST,

That the average man is honest is
strongly impressed on the public by
numerous striking incidents. They
occur with such frequency that the
general belief to the contrary is los
ing it's hold on the people.

f91,566 persons borrowed $2,4SS, 041
during the past five years from the
Hebrew Free Loan association. This
society exists to help self-respecting
persons without regard to race OF
creed to help themselves by lending

expenses, to be repid in weekly in

The losses were a little over 5 pei
cent. Undoubtedly they were attrib-
utable moro to the inability than to the
dishonesty of the borrowers.
The public is just beginning to fnt
out that the public is honest. The
Survey further points out that the
subscription book business-growr
from insignifcance to wonderful pro.
portions-has been remodeled as a re.

HEALTH AND WEpLocK.

Some years ago Colonel Creel
of Devils Lake insisted this state
should have a Law requiring a
physical examination Of all people
before they were married. There
were quite a NUMBER who made
sport of re Devils Lake solon. At the
last session a member Of the legisla-
ture from the northwestern corner Of
the state revived the idea. 1t was
. given more consideration than when
first proposed. At some future ses-
: sion, probably the next. the Legislature
will enact a measure regulating the
physical requirements Of those who
seek to marry.
= Much is written these days about
eugenics and along kindred lines. The
idea is becoming an issue and the i'm
;portance Of perpetuating posterity is
being impressed on every one.
= An advanced step was recently TAX
en- by prominent Catholic authorities
when it was announced that no mar
riaEes would be performed in the ca
thedral unless the parties to the union
presented certificates from reputable
physicians to the effect they are nor
NAL, mentally and physically, and have
/ neither an incurable nor communica-
BILE disease. .
When a conservative organization
like the Catholic church assumes such
q position-it is after careful deliber-
alton and serious thought. The action
Is along the line followed by the Cath
olics from the earliest period of the
Church-in safeguarding the sanctity
of the marriage relation.
Other religious organizations, scien-
tifc societies and especially the medi-
cal profession have taken a forward
step in this movement. Some time it
will be criminal for incurables and de-
fectives to marry. When that day
comes the future Americans will not
only be sounder in body, but greater
and stronger mentally and morally.

The Atlanta Georgian recently pub
lished an editorial, in part, as follows:
Young men and old men, fight power
ty as you would fight slavery if it still
existed among us. Ask the old around
you, and they will tell you that power
ty is the great, widespread curse.
Not wealth is necessary to happi-
ness, but freedom from the poverty
that grinds, poverty that worries, pow
erty that makes a mar the slave of
any man that has q dollar-that is nee
essary to happiness.
You have seen pictures of the slave
traders rushing through the African
forests and the poor blacks fleeing be-
fore them in terror.
What the slave-catcher was to the
black man on the Gold coast in the old
days Of slave-ships poverty is to you
today.
Keep out of poverty-keep out of
debt.
Remember that the dollar you spend
so quickly today, and the other dollar
tomorrow, inc the day after, might
mean later Independent manhood,
power to control your own time, di-
rect your own career.
Money enough-though it be but 10
cents a day more than you spend
means freedom, independence, the
right to look any man in the eye as an
equal. -
And poverty, debt, the spending of
ever SO little more than you actually
have, means slavery now, anxiety,
humiliation in the future.
Poverty deprives children Of edu-
cation-and so it means ignorance.
Poverty deprives children of care
and good food-and so it means dis
ease.
Poverty takes away mems courage,
drives them to despair, makes them
seek relief wherever it can be found
and so poverty lei drunkenness.
Wherever you find men miserable,
poor and underpaid you will find ig-
norance and drunkenness.
Wherever you better conditions and
lift the weight of poverty, drunkenness
and ignorance diminish.
Whatever your age, or habits, or
condition, there is one Of two things
ina you can uo-yOu can D6LLer your
self or you a. make things worse.
If you are a young nan or woman
starting out in life, or one young
enough to have many good years
ahead Of you, it is absolutely in your
power to make your life dignitied, in
dependent and satisfied.
However old you may be or dis
couraged, it isn't too late to fight
against the curse that weighs on mil
lions Of men. the curse of present pow
erty, and that other curse, almost as
great, the dread Of poverty in the fu-
ture.
1t is in your power to be free if you
will do it. Spend, less than you make,
and you will find that spending less
means in almost every case, earning
more.
If a man puts into learning and
thinking the hours and the vitality
formerly devoted to frivolous spend
ing he will soon find his power to earn
increased.

Intention Of the People.

In his opinion in the case in which
the MajoTRoach gerrymander Of sen
atorial districts was severely condemned
Judge Woodscn (democrat) of the su-
preme court said:
The evident intention OF the peo'
pie Of the state, as manifested in said
constitutional provision, is that, when
counties are combined to form a dis
trict they must not only touch each
other but they must be closely united
territory, and thereby guard, as far as
practicable, the system Of representa-
ton adopted in the state against the
legislative evil commonly known as
the "geuymander" In a republican
form Of government each citizen should
have an equal voice in the enactment
Of the laws, their Interpretation and
execution. This is the true spirit and
meaning Of our constitution and laws,
and the judge upon the bench, in con-
strung and giving them effect, should
put aside party feeling and be governed
solely by the spirit Of the old proverb
ial saying, 'Tros Tyriusque nihi nullo
discrimine agetur,' Inequality Of rep,
resentation in i republican form OF gov
eminent is just as offensive as is taxa
ton without representation. Both are
repugnant to and inconsistent with the
American idea OF government and true
citizenship"
