UP TO THE Sc

There are a number of board az
pointmentS for The senate to confirm.
The appointments were made by Gov
ernor Burke since the las session of
the legislatury and have not been act
Cd u"on b. the senate as yet. With
a new governor in the executive Office
i. put tie affair in a new light. Gov
ernOr Hanna will be looked to. by the
people 0 ithe state to give an ac'
counting Of his administration and it
thing to say about the men who have
charge Of the institutions and busi.
ness Of the state. It is possible that
the men named by Burke will be &C
ceptaDle to the present governor, but
it really does appear as tho the SEN
ate should get some expression of the
wishes of the present executive be-
fore confirming or refusing to confirm
the appointments Of the former gov
elnOr. Mr.. Hanna has promised the
state a business administration and he
should be accorded the cooperation
OF the senate in the selection of the
men who are really his deputies. In
no other way can he be held respons-
iblc for the work of the members of
the board that were appointed by Gov

| expect to improve the service or equal
it by the second.
But few people seem to comprehend
what the Tribune means to the city
Of Bismarck and to North Dakota.
There is not a paper in the middle
northwest which Is wider quoted, or
which Is looked 20 by the public for a
statement OF state affairs, equal to the
Tribune. There arc 4 large number Of
employees, the homes of which II plac-
ed on one street would reach almost
from Broadway TO the Capitol. The
payroll is enormous, and the wages
paid re almost as nigh as the highest
in the United States. This money is
spent in Bismarck. The Tribune has
done more to upbuild the state. and
especially the western portion of it
than any other agent within it's Dor
ders. 1t IS the II great agent which
has ba:tled for thc slope country thru
times good or bad all these years.
In closing it might be said that 1t
matters not what the opposition may
be, the Tribune will continue its
course, continue 20 give just a little
better service than the other fellow,
and promises a nice obituary when the
next subject passes with its predeces-

Supreme Court

State of North Dakota, In Supreme
Court, October, 1912, Term.
j. Fl. Mulroy, Respondent, vs., George
J. Jacobson,uAppeIlant ~
/. An oral contract was entered in
to between these parties in April, 1899,
whereby defendant promised and
agreed to procure for plaintiff a policy
Of life insurance in the Mutual Life In.
ance Company of New York, in eX-
} change for the notes described in the
complaint, which notes were owned
by plaintiff and executed and deliver
ed to him by the respective makers
thereof. Pursuant to such contract an
application addressed to the insurance
company was prepared by defendant,
who was the local agent Of such COM
pany and plaintiff signed the same.
Thereafter it was transmitted to such
company and accepted b it, and a life
3olicy in the sum of $4,000, being the
kind and amount Of policy mentioned
in the application, was issued and for
warded to defendant. After entering
into the contract plaintiff moved to
New Mexico, leaving the notes and
mortgages securing the same in the
bank at Walum for safe keeping, of
| which bank defendant was cashier.
| Upon receiving notice of the issuance
Of the policy defendant transmitted to
plaintiff by mIlil the notes for endorse
mcnt, and alsoj assignments of the
mortgages for execution with a letter
requesting plaintiff to endorse such
notes and execute the assignments
and return same Immediately, which
request was complied with by plant
if. Upon receipt OF the notes and as
| si3nmen:s defendant forwarded the
policy aforesaid to plaintiff, who refus.
| ed to accept same and Immediately re-
turned it, giving as his reason for SO
doing that it was not the policy agreed
| upon, his contention being that he was
to receive a one premium, or fully paid
up, nolicy for such al amount as the
agreed value Of the notes would pur'
chase. Defendants contention, on the
contrary, was and Is that an $4,000
straight life policy was agreed upon
and that the first premium thereon
was to be paid by defendant, in con-
s%ideration for which the notes and
mortgages in question were to be en-
dorsed and assigned ito him. After
some correspondence in which defend
ant refused to recognize the correct
ness Of plaintiffs contention as to the
contract, the latter notified the form
er in effect that he rescinded the con-
tract and demanded the. notes back.
This was refused, whereupon this ac-
ton was commenced for the alleged
conversion OF such notes and mort
cages.
HELD, that If plaintiffs version of
the transaction Is correct he has a
right, at his election, to rescind the
contract and recover the notes or
their value, and conversion will lie
upon proving such RECESSION and de-
mand and refusal BY defendant to COM
ply Herewith. II

The effort Of the present legisla-
ture to cut down the size Of the de-
"artment reports is in line with the
recommendations OF Governor Hanna
and is a move in the right direction.
There are few. very few, persons who
are interested in the detail of the de-
partments but a comprehensive and
brief printed review is necessary. If
the report is short there could be more
OF them printed and they would be
given a wider circulation and still
money would be saved the state.

In some manner the talk has beef
scattered around the legislative halls, re
garding the proposition of supplying
stamps for members that last session i
ators. 1t is ridiculous FOR such state
, ments to become current. II the SEN
it should be remembered that on every
day Of the session there were about SOC
ing mailed out for the members by the
mailing force. and that each package
required from 5 cents to 10 cents worth
of postage. As far as the amount spent
by the individual members was concern
! ed it amounted to practically nothing in
the way OF an expense item.
SO far, no bills have passed either
branch, though there has been 66 intro
duced in the senate and IA in the house,
and this will be the eleventh day If the
assembly. The committees are being de-
layed with their work owing to the fact
that so far very few printed bills have
| been received from the printer.
Mandan is well represented in the sem
ate this session. There probably has
| been no more active member of the leg
islature than Hon. James NJ. Hanley, who
represents Morton county's east end dis
trict in the upper branch. He is a thor
ougfl parliamentarian, as was shown last
session when he was speaker Of the
house. The aptness with which he helps
keep the parliamentary situation
is just as much at home in the senate.
He win be~in congress some day.
Both branches have 4 good sized mail
ing force and when the bills
to come IRON the printers they will be
sent out to the people over the state with
considerable promptness.
Hon. r.. j.. List Of Bowman county is
making many friends among his brother
members. He is serving his first term

HELD, that proof of any facts tend

he signed was in blank as to the
amount of the policy applied for and
that such blank was later filled by de-
PENDANT by the insertion Of the figures

HELD, that such application does
not constitute the contract between
these parties, but that such contract
rests in parol; hence the rules that
parol evidence Is inadmissible to con-
tradict or vary the terms Of a written
contract and that all prior or contem-
]poraneous oral negotiations are merg-
ed in such written contract, have no

to admit parol evidence to show what
the terms of the contract in fact were.
4. HELD, for reasons stated in the
opinion, that the proof as to the value
of the notes at the date of the alleged
conversion was sufficient.
5. The crucial fact in controversy
being whether the contract called for
an $4,000 straight life policy, as con
tended by defendant, or a one prem

HELD, that it was prejudicial error
to admit in evidence numerous letters
written by plaintiff to, defendant long
