enjoyment is within the range of the

GOOD ADVERTISING.

Without question the most popular
cows in tho state of North Dakota are
those five owned by Mr.. Miller. of Bot
tineau county. which have brought,
their owner such splendid returns dur
ing the past season. This statement
is made advisedly after Il more or less
careful inspection of the state papers
for the story of the achievements of
those five coWs has been published in
at least ninety per cent of the papers
of the state. and we are not sure that
some Of them have not published it
twice. Newspapers are often criticized
for paying too much attention to the
evil things of life. Doubtless nearly
all papers err to ONE degree in that
direction. And yet here is a little

JOHN MITCHELL FOR THE SHORT
BALLOT.

John Mitchell. who is certainly one
leaders OF the country, is uncquivocal-
~ for the short ballot. In Il recent in
terview he said:
While the wage are moi
as voters less discerning thar other
citizens engaged in the pursuit of Il
livelihood, Yet they. like other busy
men, lack the time and have not The
means OF Informing themselves fully
in regard to the qualification OF all
candidates for public office. Their
and ability of candidates necessarily
increases with the multiplicity of
names appearing on the ballot under
the present system of voting. Indeed,
it is Il matter of general that
while the candidates for the most i'm.
portant positions may be and usually
are we'll known to the voters. the
qualifications of such mcn being fully
and freely discussed. there is an al
most entire lack of information as to
iC Nutijil%Hti'h W btltcT ttITlulQdICS
whose names appear on the same ball
lot for very important though less
conspicuous positions.
O this o it frequently hap
pens that men are elected TO office
and entrusted with the administration
of public affairs who arc entirely UNI
known TO The voters. whose nominal
tions are secured through political
manipulations. whose frs, allegiance
is to the machine that nominates them
and not to the people it is their high
est duty to serve.
therefore. it must he obvious that
a change that would simplify our
present complex system of voting.
that would concentrate upon a less
number of candidates the attention of
the average voter. and that would
u low price, but it sells them at a
strict accountability for their official
acts. would prove of great benefit to
the citizens of our country. To ac-
conlplish this purpose is. as I under
stand it, the object of the National
Short Ballot organization"

W. p. German lies at West Ellis hospital
tonight at the point of death as the re-
suit of a fractured skull sustained by
the aged veteran this morning when he
fell on Mcmillan avenue near Camp
Stewart.
The attending nurses stated at mid
night that Major German was expected
to live until morning. but that his con-
dition was extremely critical. His injury
was the first serious one of the reunion.
Maj. w. P. German a well known con-
federate soldier and pioneer citizen of
Birmingham, was seriously injured by a
fall at Chattanooga yesterday.
Major German went to Chattanooga with
Camp Wilcox TO attend the confederate
reunion, and was being shown over the
city when the accident occurred. Owing
to his advanced age little hope was held
out by the Chattanooga hospital author
tiles for his recovery.
His wife was notified of the accident
and left last night for Chattanooga to at
tend her stricken husband. He Is being
cared for by Knights of Columbus, OF
which order he is a member.
A private message to Frank McGowar
at an early hour this morning said tina
Major German was still living. but wa'
unconscious. An operation will be per
formed this morning, the message said
in the hope of saving his life.

years.
Commencement week at the High school

by the annual concert of the Euterpean
club. In addition to the choral work
under the direction of Miss Leta Kits,
there was a special group of songs by
Mrs. Marie Stapleton-Murray, and the
cantata "Melusna."
Mrs. Sta pleton- Murray was excellent in
her songs well as the title role of the
cantata. Her voice is excellent and her
work artistic Miss Evelyn Going was
very pleasing in the mezzo-soprano parts
while the male singers, Leon Cole and
John Thomas. gave satisfaction.
Probably the most attractive feature OF
the evenings entertainment was the work
of the chorus. Great credit is due Miss
I4eta kits musical director of the public
schools of the city. for her untlring ef-
