THE COMEDIES OF SHAKE.
SPEARE.

Shakespeare has been referred
to as an intellectual ocean whose
waves touch every shore of
thought. He is indeed the master
mind of English letters. a man
who lived so completely the life
of all men that he is held after
three hundred years to be the su-
preme literary genius of the race.
His birthplace is the shrine of all
peoples. for his plays reflect uni
versal human nature. He is the
master artist of life, sounding the
deeps of its tragedy and skimming
joyously over the sunlit waves of
is comedy.
Few men are better prepared to
understand and interpret the
works of the great author than
Professor Frederick H. Koch, of
the department of Dramatic liter
ature at the State University. In
his lecture-reading, THE Com
edies of Shakespeare" which is to
be given in our city next Wednes-
day, March 26, evening under the
auspices of the High school Prof.
essorkochwill take up and discuss
several Of the best-known Of the
Shakespearean Comedies and
point will be given to his remarks
by eopious readings from familiar
scenes. All will he woven to-
gether and illuminated by the
wealth of information that the
speaker has collected ON these
topics by many years Of special
study. and the effect is sure to be
pleasing. This lecture is brought
here by the High school but it is
hoped that everyone who appre-
ciatcs intellectual stimulus will be
on hand to hear it. 1t will be

spare. Inc point tnat wish to
make is that it was not that merit
which determined its fate. The
same is also true of each of the
four county division. or creation,
bills now before me. A combina-
ton was formed which included
the friends of each bill. make
the bold assertion that without
that combination not one of the
bills would have reached the exc
cutive Office.
Not only was there co-opera-
ton between the friends of the
different county bills. but there
was Legislative logrolling,' which
influenced many measures entire
aly foreign to county division. Bills
which otherwise would have had
an entirely different fate were pass
ed or defeated by the influence
Of county division alliances, the
fact being that this class of spec
ial legislation to so marked a de-
gree as to be apparent even to
the most casual observer, and
yet this condition might not be
potent enough to move me to
veto but for the third and, to my
mind, all-suficient reason.
Above and beyond the ques-
ton of whether the legislature can
create new county by special
act the fact is that the people can
do so themselves. There is a
general law in force in Montana,
which was enacted two years ago.
The law is effective. 1t has been
tested in court and in the field.
Three new counties have been
created in accordance with its pro-
visions-created by those who
must bear the burdens and re-
sponsibilities of county govern
ment and who will enjoy the
fruits thereof.
This to my mind is right and
proper. 1t is in accord with the
popular sentiment of let the peo-
pie rules it is home rule, and it
is in contradistinction to the condi-
tions existing in the legislature.
where vast number of members
voted for the creation of counties
from territory which they had
never seen except perhaps through
the triple-plate glass in the win
dow of a modern; feeting Pull
man car. If it is fact lesisla-
tor. under these conditions, can
cast and does cast more intelli-
gent vote than would be score
or hundred citizens of the affect
ed territory, acting under a gen.
eral law which affects all alike,
my reasoning is wrong and my
conclusions necessarily so. can
not bring myself to believe in the
latter theory.
Much as l dislike to exercise
the veto power | feel impelled to
do so in this case. and therefore
transmit the bill with this my dis
approval of the same. Yours
truly,
IS. v. STEWART. Governor"

Farmers Cooperative Clubs Meet
AT Sentinel Butte and Elect Officers


COOPERATIVE Clubs held an ad-
journed annual meeting for the
election of officers at large at Sen
tinel Butte last Monday. March
! 9TH. 1t was held there by request
and all present manifested good
interest in continuing the organi-
zation. There was sentiment
advanced that an effort should be
made to make this farmers move
ment more effective and on a
broader scale.
The election resulted in again
selecting Fred A. Powers, presi-
dent; F. ]. Hill, vice president;
W. F. Lindsey, secretary; John C.
Odland, assistant secretary; ]. M.
Still, treasurer.
The several club. are expected
to hold meetings and elect local
officers for each locality as has
been the custom, and to elect a
committeeman to represent each
club at any general meeting of all
the clubs. A committee was sell
ected to draft bylaws and resolu-
tons to govern our future work
and special meeting will be call
ed to ratify the same in the near
future. 1t was the sense of the
meeting that central hall for
meetings should be built as soon
as the organization became strong
enough.
We found warm welcome
from the Sentinel Butte people to
hold our meetings with them by
extending to us the use of the
opera house free, and vote of
thanks was extended to them for
their courtesy.
After some consideration was
given the matter of changing the
name of our organization, mo-
ton was made and sustained to
hereafter call this farmers organ
ization the Golden Valley Coun-
ty Farmers COOPERATIVE Associa-
ton. Its aim and purposes will
be more fully set forth on adopt
ing the work of the committee
above referred to. but we wish
to emphasize at this time the need
of the farmers taking an interest
in matters relative to the enacting
of laws to meet their needs upon
the farms. There were two CO.
operative bills introduced in the
Legislature just closed. One in the
house for general cooperative
law such as has been allowed in
the states of Nebraska and Wis
consin and there is no good rea-
son why we in the great state of
North Dakota should not be grant
ed like privilege. Our honor
able servants who receive their
power from us at election time,
are very strong on their promises
but when it comes to matter of
making laws they see to it that we
get nothing relative to our needs
and become our masters instead
of our servants. The house bill
referred to above passed the
house, but was smothered in the
senate until the closing hours and
then only brought forth to kill and
get rid of. And how about the
cooperative bank bill? With
what favor was that received by
the banking committee? This bill
was introduced in the senate and
we never expected any favorable
consideration, going as it did be-
fore a committee composed en-
tirely of bankers. What could we
expect more than we got2 But
we did get the names of that COM
mittee and we verify believe the

Farmer Defeats {
Local Attorney
A. c. Townley Wins Debate With
r. F. Gallagher by Vote of 135
to 217, Former Speaking for
Socialism and Latter Against.

The series of debates between
A. c. Townley, farmer and So
cialist. and r. F. Gallagher, attor-
ney and anti-socialist, came to a
close last week Friday night with
Mr.. Townley the winner by a big
vote.
Four evenings were occupied
during the discussion, March q,
]. IL, and 4, each speaker TAX
ing half Of the time of each even
ing. An admission of Csc was
charged and each admission ticket
entitled the purchaser to one vote.
There were 673 tickets sold DUR
ing the four nights and the bal
loting was done at the close of the
last debate with the result that
MI. Townlcy. the socialist, receiv-
ed 2l7 votes to Mr.. Gallagher s
l35, or total of 352 votes cast
out of 673 paid admissions. This
of course does not show the rela-
tive strength of the socialists in
Beach, but rather the opinion of
the audience as to the ability of
the speakers in handling their ar
guments. And of course some per-
sonality entered into the voting
which rather strengthened MIR.
Townley vote, especially among
the farmers.
The debate was interesting
throughout and after the vote was
announced Mr.. Townley thanked
the audience. saying he appreciat-
ed their good judgment. The
vote was rather a surprise to many.

SAINT with the treatment we receiv-
ed at their hands. and when the
time comes again to elect men to
fill Office they should be invited
to stay home. Let US give you
the decision of one of the bankers
in the northern part of our state.
He requested the privilege of
studying the bill, took it under

was frank enough to say, take it
as whole it is a very commend
able bill. and should be enacted"

also said. You'll not get it,

conference is to be open to a full

farmers may unite to secure cred

ALPHA.
There are several farmers in
this vicinity who have not finish
ed their seeding.
John Adams went to Beach
last week to prove up on his home
stead. taking Edward Eide and
Walter Barnett along as witness
eS.
R. D. Knapp, made a business
trip to Beach last week and clos
ed a deal there for an automobile
which he brought out this week.
J. K. Toft appeared before
Judge Jefferson of Beach last
week and was duly sworn in as
administrator for the estate of Ole
Malby. The land will be rented
for farming purposes this sum-
mer.
Walter Barnett spent a few
days in Beach and Sentinel Butte
last week looking up business in
terests. He also attended the
farmers meeting which was held
at Sentinel Butte on Thursday for
the purpose of electing officers.
Prof. Haley of the Beach
schools will appear at Alpha on
March 21st, instead of March 20,
as was announced by error in the
Alpha notes of last week. The
error was due either to a BRAIN
storm on the part of the cores
pondent or mistake on the part
of the linotype man. Carlyle will
appear here in debate on March
18th as announced.
The members of the baseball
team are very busy preparing for
the big dance and supper which
will occur at knapp's on Easter
Monday, March 24th. The dance
will be held in the barn, the floor
of which is spacious and in good
shape. An oyster supper in con-
nection will be served in the
house. The boys are anxious to
have all their friends turn out, as
the club will need new uniforms
and other paraphernalia which
will put the members to consider
able expense. There is now a
good prospect of getting a likely
bunch together this summer. as
several old 'bush-leaguuers' are
sojourning in the territory. The
Carewe boys will make welcome
addition to the bunch.

TROLLEY RIDING

TROLLEY RIDING
Trolley riding is one of the most
difficult of the high arts. It is in
dulged in, however, by millions who
have not glOmmed even the rudi-
ments Of the game.
Some folks have been raised to
trolley riding, having toured free
when babes-in-arms. Yet when they
roam down the aisle you'd think
when they were trying to balance
on tin gang-plank!
When the man in uniform asks
one of this kind to tip the poor cor
pOration with a nickel, or so, he or
she searches for the right amount
and scatteTs loose change all over
the vestibuIe. Then, in triumph, him
or her draws forth a seedy five-dOllar
bill and expects the conductor to
change it quickly while yanking up
fares, helping off fat women with
laundry baskets, warning males not
to smoke and stretching the kinks
out of the bell rope.
TTOlley-Tiding is altogether tangled
up with bad form. Take the man
who has cOrraled a seat while several
ladies are standing up. He pretends
not to see 'em, opens his newspaper
and cOnceals himself behind the
darkest murder mysteries he can find.
Suddenly there is a rustic, a fiUt-
ter, a jangle of vanity cases and other
junk, and a pretty girl enters the
scene. The man, who can't see any
thing through his paper, drops it! He
raises himself and his hat at the same
time.

Then the girl takes the preferred
seat without mUrmuring Thank
you!"
And the man goes home and an
nOUnces at dinner table that women
are an ungrateful lot and he never
will offer his seat in a street car. to
a gray-haired old lady again!
Trolley riding becomes a gala
sport when a large picnic is arrang-
ed and the car company reserves
lot of old, peek-a-boO summer cars
to take us out to- the picnic grove.
Folks who complain they can't sleep
on trains should get weary and bug
bitten at a picnic Then they must
ride home in the evening in a trolley
car that is out to beat the cold mo-
lasses record. Betcha they couldn't
keep awake on bet, or even a brass
tack.
During the evening rush" from
the business district trolley riding
often degenerates into a fierce battle,
worthy of the Cave-man era. IT'S
every man for himself, and a cold
supper take the hindmOst. Many of
the vaUnted deIicacies and polish of
our civilization get rubbed off in this
fierce struggle to climb on the pay

to check the growth Of the barley crop
