The inauguration of Gov
ernOr Hanna marked the pass
ing from official life in this
state of a man whose record
has been one of the most re-
markable of any public man in
the state. Thrice elected gov
ernor in a republican state, ex-
Governor Burke has achieved a
position of eminence seldom
reached. The closing of his
term is a splendid testimonial
of the era Of good feeling which
is prevailing in state politics in
marked contrast to that which
has existed in former years,
Governor Hanna showed a
touch of genuine courtesy in
refraining from assuming the
executive chair for two days to
give the retiring governor an
opportunity to read his last
message to the legislature. The
Legislature, overwhelmingly
republican, by an unanimous
vote, recommended Governor
Burke to president-elect Will
son as a proper man for a place
in his cabinet. Such a recon-
mendation may or may not
have any effect. That is the
least significant point. The
chief point is that the passage
of such a resolution under such
conditions marks a great step
forward in political methods
and feelings. Grand Forks

ONLY T COUNTS
In a recent issue the St. Lou

In a recent issue the St. Louis
Republican says:
Woodrow Wilson's debt to
Bryan is the biggest debt posi-
bic in American politics. Prop
er acknowledgements of that
debt is expected. Popular be-
lief is that it will be paid"
Mr.. Bryan's Commoner re-
plies:
Cabinet positions ought not
to be regarded as currency with
which to pay debts. They are
responsible positions, and in
filling them the president-elect
should look to the future and
not to the past. A public
official has no right to dis
charge political obligations at
the expense of the public. The
men selected by Mr.. Wilson for
the cabinet should be selected
not because of personal service
rendered to him, nor even be-
cause of past service rendered
to the party. The individual
counts for little; the cause
counts for much. An individ-
ual, if he has had a proper mo-
tive for working, finds sufficient
compensation in the triumph
of ideas, principles and policies;
he does not need the consola-
ton of office. Offices should
be used to strengthen the party
and to advance the things
for which the party stands. It
is pleasant to reward those who
have been faithful, where that
reward can be given without
sacrificing public interests, but
where past service is consider
ed it is better to consider it as
an assurance of future service
than merely because it has
been rendered.
The Commoner declines to
discuss cabinet possibilities,
but it ventures to express the
hope that Governor Wilson will
be governed by a higher mo-
tive than gratitude in the selec-
ton of his official household.
A great responsibility rests up
or him, and he will need the
assistance of the best and
bravest for his work. He
ought to feel free to select for
each place the man best fitted
for it; in no other way can he
hope to measure up to the ex-
pections of the public. He
need not-he should not-con.
slider any service that MI. Bryan
has rendered to him or to the
public. Mr.. Bryan has been
abundantly rewarded for all he
has done, and does not feel that
the party, OF any individual in
the party, owes him anything.
If he ever holds any Office, il
ought to be given, whether by
appointment or election, with
the view to the service tina,
CAN be rendered in connec.
ton with the work YET TO
BE DONE, not with the idea
of rewarding him for anything
that he has done. And the
rule which is here laid down fol
Mr.. Bryan is the rule which he
believes should be laid down
for all. In other words, the
welfare of the party and the
welfare of the country, not the
ambitions of men or the inter
ests of individuals, should b.
considered.

plague. There have been two new
cases in the city within three weeks
and one of those was in home
where smallpox had been running
its course. The other was in a new
location, causing five families to
since remain under quarantine. That
was fifteen days ago and none Of
those feared to have been exposed
have so far given any indication of
taking the malady. The Fink death,
which caused the alarm last Sunday,
had followed siege OF 81 days, and
while it caused more excitement than
any other case of smallpox in the
city, owing to the failure to report
same TO the authorities for quaran-
tine and attention, it is felt that the
danger of new case from that
source is small.
For the past three weeks there
has been a general feeling that the
city had emerged from under the
spell of desolation caused by the dis
ease, and each day we passed with
out a new outbreak added to the
feeling of security. To make mat
ters better and safer, the outbreak
over the county has beea- stopped,
One case still remains at Soper as
the last of dozen there, and the
and the patient is doing well. One
case at Fort Towson has all bit
recovered. Boswell had no case,
and the Messer section is now
clear of smallpox. The outbreak
below Grant is well on the road
to recovery.
Hugo is probably safer than any
large CITY in this section from dan
ger of contracting smallpox by the
visitor. The strict quarantine
against those few still remaining
makes it impossible for anyone 70
get close to them, and the fact
shat more than 1000 citizens have
taken the vaccination road to safe
ty reduces the probability of talk
ing the disease to the minimum.
With the opening of schools, places
of amusement, lodges and societies
meeting, Hugo again assumes its
normal position.-Husonian.
