The dsciaion Of the Post Ofics De-
partment to remove the postmaster
and the assistant postmaster At Park.
ersburg Is regarded here a. an indiee-
tion that changes win be made in other
postofhces In the State without walt
ing for the expiration Of the terna cf
Office Of the present postmasters. The
decision to remove the postmaster Il
Parketsburg was because he recotis
showed that the postmastsr,s eondaet

been filed against someof them, which
were ignored for political reasopss
Now that the Postmaster General has
shown an inclination to remove post
masters whose Offices have not been
conducted in q satisfactory manner. it
would seem that several changes would
be made very soon. Many Of the larR-
er postoffices in the State have already
been filed by Democrats but there are.
number left which have Republican
postmasters. some of whom have not
been giving satisfactory services. While
the Offices at Charleston, Hunting ton,
Bluefeid, Sistersville and number of
the other cities in the State have been
filled, and the Parkersburg Office is
about to be filled by good Democrat
the offices at Wheeling, Fairmont,
Clarksburg, Morgantown. Keyser. Mar
tinsburg, Charles Town and other cities
Of considerable size have not been
filled and the old postmasters at these
places are awaiting the expiration of
their terms of Office. If the policy
adopted in regard to the Parkersburg
Office IS carried out and the postmasters
whose conduct Of their offices is not
satisfactory are removed, there prob
ably will be number of these offices
to fill within a short time. 1t is well
known that some of the postmasters
at these offices have been under FIRE
and that complaints have been made
in regard to their offices. These are
expected to 30 reached soon and to be
scheduled to give up their places to
Democrats. When it comes 10 the APP
pointment Of postmasters in the first |
and second districts, Congressman Da-
Wis and Brown will make the recon-
mendatians on which the nominations |
will be made by the President. In the
remainder of the State, Senator Chil-
ton is relied upon by the President for
recommendations for appointment.
Senator Chiffon has recommended |
3. B. Rigg1e for appointment as post-
master at Middlebourne, Tyler county. |
Mr.. Riggle is the editor Of the Tyler
county Journal and one of the hard |
Democratic editors. few

KNOWING AND DOING

Few Of US practice all the
good methods that we know. It
is human nature to hang on to !
the old order of things even aft
er we have admitted the advan-
tages of the new. Perhaps the
adoption of improved methods
{ may mean the breaking up of
habits long since firmly estab-
Z Hshed; details Of management
must be rearranged and read
tusted; oftentimes new equip
ment and additional expenditure
of capital are required. All this !
demands initiative and strength
of will and SO the most OF US ;
simply go on procrasfinating
from day to day, promising our I
selves that tomorrow or next
week or next year we will get /
busy and make things hum, or,
as Riley says,
: I'VE promise, engage and de-
clare,
Until every day is Yesterday,
And Yesterday is-where?" !
Probably we as farmers are
particularly subject to this in !
dictment- The agricultural col
leges and the experiment sta
lions for years have been not
only telling us but actually
showing us improved methods
in every branch Of farming, and

tice these methods. Lets mug

.
Almighty, exalted. Commander-in-
Chief,
Dear Father, all wise. Of the Blue
and the Gray;
The Old Guard is here-'tis the last
grand relief
az comrades and brothers who mus
ter today.
And if, from the heavenly ramparts
above,
Old Abe and brave Stonewall can
look down, they'll see
The great transformation of hate into
love;
IT'S what they all prayed for-Grant,
Logan and Lee.
And while our great nation is thank
full today
For our glorious salvation, while
counting the cost,
There's tie that is binding the Blue
and the Gray
In the heroic army of braves that we
lost.
Tho. lost, we in reverence cherish each
name,
And are eager to tell of the deeds
they have done,
While in Northland and Southland their
glory and fame
Are pictured and told in the battles
they won.
Half a century has passed, and we mus
tep<today
But thin fne of boys that we mus
tered'of yore,
And millions rejoice that the Blue and
the Gray
Are united beneath the old banner
once more.
And We who survived, who returned
FROM the fight,
Would ask Thee. Commander above,
81 once again,
To watch here our actions, that we in
Thy sight,
May show that our comrades did not
die in vain.
Dear comrades and brothers, the wild
ow Is here,
The mother, the sister, in prayerful|
mood,
They come with a wreath and memo
ry dear
For the grave of the loved ones who
here shed their blood.
The sons and the daughters Of Gray
and the Blue
Are here with our bright-eyed grand
children today,
They met since the conhct-to meet
was to WOO, .
And to win; Cupid captured the Blue
and the Gray.
God pity the hand that would strive to
suppress
The growing affection that comes |
with the years;
May it live in its glory and never grow
less
AS our thin rank the shore of eternity
nears.
Raise your thoughts towards heaven,
my brothers in Gray,
And in hallowed fancy a picture
you'll see;
Looking down upon us from the bright
realms today
Are Lincoln and Jackson, Grant. and
And now, as beneath dear old Glory we
gather,
Inspired by the eyes of those heroes
Let this be our slogan, our motto, dear
Father:
Fraternity. Charity, Loyalty, Love.
Inspire with Thy blessing our love for
each other,
Keep us ever beneath Thy most
merciful ken.
And strengthen the love ties as brother,
meets brother,
Through our few years remaining on
earth soil. Amen.

BURKE'S REPUBLICAN ENDORSEMENT.

If Governor John Burke did not wake
up the other morning to find himself
famous, it is not the fault of the North

the members of the legislature, in joint
session, at 2:3O p. m on January the

Governor of one dolitical faith unani-
mously Endorsed by a state legislature

to the opposing political party. What
ever the future may hold in store for
governor Burke, it cannot rob him Of
the delightful recollectlons of the CONT
dence and esteem of the people he has
served so faithfully, as expressed in the
following resolution:
"Whereas, this day marks the sever.
ance of the high official bond that has
for six years held our distinguished
fellow citizen bound to the duties of the

of this commonwealth.
And whereas, it is a matter of sta s
pride that the name of our distinguished
ex-governor has been frequently men.
toned in the press of the country for a
high position in the national govern

And whereas, we the members of the
thirteenth legislative assembly, recognize
in him a man capable of rendering SER
vice of the highest order in the lnrger
field CT our national governmental affairs,
And whereas, having spent>his life in
the area of the greatest social and
economic development he understands
fully the elements and fundamental
principles which underlie the policies of
development and conservation of natural
resources as they touch the welfare Of
the state and the nation as a whole.
Be it resolved, that we, the legislative
assembly of the state of North Dakota
IN joint session, do commend him, the
Hon. John Burke, to the careful con-
sideration of the honorable Woodrow

The senate b as slipped the judicial
robes from Robert w. Archbold of Pen
nsylvania, a federal court Judge, who by
reason of his impeachment is disqualif-
ed to hold any Office of honor, trust or
profit under the United States. Arch
bold was found guilty on five counts.
The manner in which he capitalized the
influence of his Office for personal profit,
and the absence of mitigating circum-
stances in his bold operations, bares a
man OF corrupt nature, totally untitled
for the post he filled. The penalty which
the verdict imposes, with it's accompany
ing disgrace, will be considered proper
punishment for his betrayal of public
trust.

North Dakota is constantly making
records. The year 1912 shows the state
to have built a larger railroad mileage
than any other in the nation. The
Railway Age Gazette reports that three
companies built 347 miles of track in
the state during the past year. The
next nearest to this record is Texas
with 1856 miles. The construction of
this big mileage means that much new
territory in the state has been opened,
many new towns placed on the map and
thousands of acres of our fertile lands
brought nearer to the market.

Thursday of last week. The survey
was taken IN connection with the inter-
