Restoring Republican Uniiu

The voting strength of the Republican party will
be fully and equitably represented in the next Ma
tional Republican convention. When it became evi-
dent, in the National Republican Committee meeting
at Washington that lately d%iscordant elements over
questions of party organization were ready for con,
cession and compromise, and that the committed
could, without danger to party interests, itself adopt
q new plan of party government, the necessity of
holding a special convention disappeared. The hold.
ing OF such a convention would have been costly,
making drafts upon the time and means Of men at
tending it. These sacrifices Republicans were willing
to make, under the plain and growing necessity OF
restoring party harmony Of action for party principles
the defeat OF which can now be seen as a menace
to prosperity. The convention would have been inev-
table had it been found impossible to reach a basis
of united action in the ommitt The result of its
deliberations could not have been more conclusive,
however, than those of the committee will be, since
they could not possibly be more fair, Or wider in
their recognition of the primary system. the ratio OF
delegacy, and the rights of states to select and &C
credit delegates either at large or by districts, and
to have them seated in the temporary organization
of national conventions upon certificates by minis.
terial officials.
1t is gratifying to note that late lines of division
are seen disappearing in the one ballot taken in COM
mittee, which was on the question Of holding a
special national convention early in the coming year.
We can find some representatives of what has been
called the "standpat' element voting for the calling
Of q convention and some of them against it. We
can find, also, some committeeman elected by the
progressive wing voting against the convention and
others for 1t. All of these votes were but the e.
~pressions, Of individual judgment reached by members
seeking the best means of meeting the party demand
for new forms sofs organization. The majority of more
than two to- one against the convention, and in favor
Of committee action, must have been a result Of the
discovery that all Republicans. under the impulse of
reuniting the party for defense Of the common inter.
est, were ready to agree upon ways and means and
that the work could be done in committee as well as
IN convention The majority OF Progressivss, seeing
thesea opportunities OF immediate action, voted
aga1nstStlhe convention call. The vote, 30 to IA
algainat the convention, showed the turn in the tide
81 Progressive sentiment, II that sentiment has been
fairly representa- w leaders who have been most
~insistent for . convention.
This Is encouraging In q high degree. 1t shows
that the mass of Republicans who took independent
seton last year are still Republicans, and anxious to

An important State Office

There is a new office in the state Of North Da.
ia which is doing excellent work and of which but
little is known. 1t is the Office of state fire marshal.
In this state this Office is In the hands Of A. II, RunSe,
marshal, and Fl. L. Reade, deputy.
There are also few people VINO realize the import.
ance Of such an Office, and probably as few who
realize that there are hundreds of crooks in the
country who make arson a profession. These people
make a business of firing or dynamiting buildings
for a consideration, and are, Of course, OF the most
dangerous class. There are now Al states which
have fire marshals, besides a similar office in Canada.
With this Office is a corps of sleuths who arc not
on the trail of that class of outlaws who destroy prop
erty, and now that the fire marshals of each state
and those of Canada are working together faithfully
and diligently, the life of the flre-bug is made a pre-
cari0us one. They are chased from one state to an
other, till their profession is most undesirable, and
1t Is hoped that in a few years the system Of oper-
alton by the fire marshals will be so complete that it
will be- almost impossible for anyone to commit the
crime of arson without being caught. '-
The police powers of the fire marshal are SO
broad and liberal that this officer is one to be feared
by the wrong -doer. Not only is it the duty of this
Odacer to look up fires, but it is also his duty to
inspect school houses, hotels, public halls, theatcrs
and all places where the public congregates.
Messrs. Runge and Reade, marsbals of this state,
are making a most thorough canvass of every town
and are making a most rigid inspection of all such
properties. They are also ferreting out the cause
Of every fire which occurs in the state and arc MAX
ing themselves not only felt, but are putting the fear
Of the Lord and the law into the hearts Of the wrong
doors.
They are given u wide latitude, and it is well that
they are, and, furthermore, North Dakota is to be
congratulated upon having two sleuths Of the typo of
Runge and Reade.

a. Visit From 1.-THE Old Mic"

~ go ~ = viz
A Revised Version; Ely Alice Jaynes in the Ladies'
Home Journal.
Twas the night before Christmas, when all in the
shop,
Not a salesgirl nor wrapper but thought she would
drop;
The cash children rushed with the money with care,
With wan faces strained, hither, thither they fled,
For to fail for a moment not one of them dare.
While visions OF reprimands flashed through each
head, ,H~
At III hour when rich children were tied in %nightcaps,
hud scltlihS themselves for their long winter maps,
Frcm tables ANA counters arose such a clatter
Some terrible tragedy must be the matter;
Tie lights from The shining bulbs, white in their glow,
Gave lrstre Of midday to objects below.
& yllcsgiri was selling small gifts. Like a flash
She tore, open boxes and counted out cash,
When what to my wondering ears should resound,
But a shrewish abuse you could hear aisles around,
From a woman, well gowned, who came just to kick,
| knew in a minute she was 'the Old Nick" 3.
She was dressed all in fur from her feet to her head,
And a comfortable feeling of opulence shed.
More rapid than reindeer, reproaches they came,
AS she scolded and called the poor girl a harsh name.
"How stupid! You vixen! Don't dare answer back!
I'll report you at once for being so slack.
Ny gifts never came. Now where can they be?
How such things can happenI really can't see!"
And giving a nod, up the store aisle she sailed,
Full Of wrath that her own Merry Christmas" had
failed. -. 49, ~
The ~salesgirl so pale went straight to her work,
For dozens Of buyers forbade her to shirk.
Hours and hours played the drama, long after she'd
gone,
Delivery boys, women. cash girls struggled on.
In hundreds Of stores, in many a city,
This spells Merry Christmas" Oh! good people,
pity:

gagged In industry and commerce, through a setting
aside of those party principles and public policies in
which they believed. The committee plan, now to be
submitted to the party in the states, is eminently
fair and just for giving expression to the party voice
IN all future nominations and declarations. Primary
laws insmany states, passed since 1908. have made
these changes logical. Every Republican wanting to
stay in the party can now see his way clear to an
active cooperation with all others against a common
enemy. The need is great. The emergency is urgent.
Minority, government, overturning the wellsettled
principles and policies of safety approved by many
and overwhelming majorities, is running amuck both
in t~he-fseal and financial legislation approved by
experience. Again the bull in the china shop is work
ing destruction, the crash Of which is already begin

stand together, not only for themselves, but for all
Of a thfeatened people. The question. is not alone one

A Visit From 81. Nicholas

.- -
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care.
In hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug In their beds,
While visions of sugarplums danced through their
heads;
And Mama in her kerchief and i in my cap
Had just settled our brains for a long winters nap;
When out on the lawn there arose such a CHATTER
| sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window l fed like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash;
The moon on the breast Of the new fallen snow
Gave the lustre of midday to objects below,
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But q miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,
With a little old driver so lively and quick
l knew in a moment it must be Saint Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled and shouted and called them by
name.
"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now. Prancer, and
Vixen!
On Cometl on, Cupid Oh, Donder and Blitzen!
To the top Of the porch! to the top Of the wall!
Now dash away dash away! dash away, all!'
AS dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly
When they meet with an %oostpcles mount the sky,
So up to the housetop the courseHSFthey flew,
With the Sleigh full of toys and Saint Nicholas, too.
And then in a ~twinkling l heard on the roof
The prancing and paving Of each little hoof-
AS l drew in my head and was turning around,
Down the chimney st. Nicholas came with a bound.
He was. dressed all in furs from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all furnished with ashes and
SCOT,
a bundle OF. toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack;
His eyes-how they twinkled! His dimples, how
merry:
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow;
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth.
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a broad face, and a little round belly
That shook when lie laughed like q bowlful of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old ell,
And | laughed when l saw him, in spite OF myself;
A. wink Of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon gave me to know that l had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work
And filed all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside Of his nose
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And awayfthey all flew like tie down OF a thistle;
But heard him excaim ere he drove out of sight,
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight
