4 Rapidly Growing State

Grand Forks, May 8.-Everi
if North Dakota is a dry"
state. there is one crop that
ALWAYS makes good and that is
the crop Of new citizens who
make their initial bow upon
the stage of the world within
the limits of our good state.
The March vital statistics for
North Dakota report-104l births
to 1853 deaths or nearly three to
one in favor of the stork.
The only contagious disease
reported by the state health
department where there are a
large number of cases was
measles Of which there was 245
cases in March. In a recent
address at Grand Forks, atten-
ton was called to the fact that
an epidemic of measles usually
comes along during house
cleaning season and the reason
for this is that the winter &C.
emulation of dirt is stirred up
in house cleaning in which
there are germs Of the disease,
the children breathe them and
there you are. The remedy Is
to keep the house clean the
year around, rather than to
accumulate cleaning for the
semi-annual events. Les
furniture, no carpets, hardwood
|hoors, etc, which will simplify
cleaning will help.

BLUE SKY COMMISSIONER.
Governor Vests Private Secretary
Gets Place.

Salem, Ore, March Ex-Governor
West has appointed his private sec
retary, Ralph Watson, as corporation
commissioner, the office created in
the blue sky" law passed by the
recent legislature. This appointment
came as a surprise, as it was expect
ed that the office would fall to c. D.
Babcock, the present corporation
clerk in the office of the secretary
of state. The governor stated that
the appointment was also surprise
to Watson, who had not asked for
the place and did not know the gov
ernor was considering him.
The governor stated that his pri-
vate stenographer, Miss Fern Hobbs,
would succeed Watson as private sec
retary.
The "blue sky" law is fashioned
after the famous Kansas act and is
said OF be full of teeth for question

BeIlyiew Entertainment.
At the Bellview school Friday
evening a goodly audience was de-
lighted with the program given un-
der the auspices of the Parent
Teachers Association. The entire
evenings enjoyment was afforded by
the proffered assistance of Miss
Maud Hawley, Judge C. B. Watson,
Messrs. Routledge and USHER, Prof.
H. G. Gilmore and Miss Weisenbur-
ger. Mrs. w. G. Gordon, president
of the association, very ably eX
pressed words of appreciation rela-
tive to this marked assurance of the
kindly spirit toward Bellview, so
manifest by the Ashland friends. A
piano had been loaned for the occa-
sion, which made it possible to have
several musical numbers by Mr.. Gill
more and one of his pupils, Miss
Weisenburger. Several encores were
responded to.
Miss Hawley with quiet self-pos-
session gave an instructive talk on
Mexico, where she had lived. Many
things were related incident to the
life, customs and conditions of those
people, and all were greatly attracted
by the souvenirs that Miss Hawley
had brought north with her, and ex-
hibited at the close of her talk. A
huge sombrero, an "oja" or water
bottle of clay, brushes, mantillas
scarfs. beautiful linen drawn-work
ETC., were among her collection.
Mr.. F. C. Rortledge skillfully
managed the lantern and slides for
the stereopticon lectures by Mr.
USHER and Judge Watson.
The "Shipwreck" scenes thrown on
the screen as M. USHER read an
illustrative poem were closely fol

ALL WOMEN To
VOTEIN TIME|S
SENATE'S IDEA
Even the Most Conservative Mem
bers Believe the Fair Sex Will
Cast Ballot the World Over.

WASHINGTON, June 2s.-That
women in all civilized countries will
be permitted to vote is regarded as
inevitable by the most conservative
Senators and Representatives.
1t is their opinion that steady prog
ress is being made and that Great
Britain, the United States and other
leading nations will eventually rec
ognize that further delay Is useless.
Two-Thirds Vote Needed.
The resolution proposing an amend
ment to the Federal constitution IN
der which women would be given the
ballot, now awaiting consideration by
the Senate, is expected to be passed
on at the next session. A two-thirds
vote would be necessary for its adOp-
ton.
It would require the appoval Of
sixty four Senators to make women
suffrage operative for submission to
the States, so far as the upper branch
of Congress rs concerned.
The chief handicap preventing
woman suffrage lies IN the opposition
Of Southern Congressman. The votes
for the women's movement have
made Roadway in the South. A bit
ter struggle is in progress in Ala
bama, where Representative Hobson
is seeking the Senatorship as against
Mr.. Johnston, on a platform favorins
woman suffrage and temperance.
Senator Johnston says he will achieve
reelection without difficulty.
Have Twenty Four Votes.
1t is figured that these Senators
will certainly support the Chamber
lain resolution providing for con-
stitutional amendment permitting
women to vote; Ashurst and Smith
Of Arizona Thomas and Shafroth, OF
Colorado; Borah and Brady, Of Idaho;
Myers and Walsh, of Montana Gal
linger and Hollis, of New Hampshire;
Chamberlain and Lane, of Oregon;
SmoOt and Sutherland. of Utah; Jones
| and PoindeXter, of Washington;
| Clark and Warren, of Wyoming; Gore
and Owens, of Oklahoma; Ransdell
| and Thornton, Of Louisiana.
This totals but twenty-four of the
sixty-four votes necessary in the
| Senate. In view of recent action in
Iowa, Illinois and Kansas It is pos
| sible that Senators Cummins, Ken
| yon, sherman, Lewis, Bristow and
| Thompson may be added to the list
making thirty In all. 1t is claimed
that two or three additional votes
may come from New England, but
no names are suggested.

Il looks now as II the decks have

and that Leo Franks trial may be
expected to proceed in dignity and or
der and that in its final analysis the
truth Of Mary Phagan's murder may
be established, at least to the extent
OF Franks real or suspected partici-
patton therein.
II Frank should be convicted, that
would mean the subsequent indict-
ment and conviction Of the negro Con
ley, as an accessory after the fact.
Conley Indictment May Follow.
II Frank should be found not guilty
that would mean the indictment Of
Conley. as principal TO the murder, in
all human probability
1t evidently is the purpose of the
state to hold Conley free OF indict-
ment pending the disposition OF the
charges against Frank. His status as
a material witness depends much
upon this. OF course.
There always Is a chance, however
that a Grand Jury may take up q
