j. S. Patterson of the Ross News land
ed a secretaryship of a committee and is
hare at work viewing the prospects. Mr..
Patterson is one of the brightest young
newspaper men in the state and has
been a hard worker for his party. He
has kept everlastingly at it, and his
many friends will be glad that he got
something more than an empty sandwich
at the pie counter. He has really done
a great deal more than has the Great
Northern railroad to put Ross on the
map. : 81
VIM. CI~everinga, one of the true build
ers of Strasberg. has come Up to look
over the legislative work for a. day or
two and is being introduced by Senator
Allen of his district. Mr.. Cleveringa
says that conditions have never been
better in his country than now, and that
all signs point to more and more pros
perity. And prosperity is the long suit
Of the Strasburgher. ta" "
J.. W. Calnan is here from Berthold.
He is one Of the hustlers Of hat nice
town, and has merely come down here
for a little vacation. He will then re-
turn, take off his coat and resume, town
boosting. Mr.. Calnan insists thai he is
the resident of the best town along the
Great Northern from Minot to Willis
ton. In fact, he wants to bet on it. In
the meantime, Mr.. Calnan will content
himself by putting some frstclass law
making over for his district.
The appointment of Lieutenant Dennis
Hannafn to a responsible position in the
cloak room of the senate will meet with
the approval of many people all over
North Dakota. Lieutenant Hannafin is
an old soldier and has thousands OF
warm PERSONAL friends. In his resplen-
dent new regalia Lieutenant Hannifin
looks like a true statesman.
Representative Holman has not yet
made his maiden speech in the house of
representatives, but it is coming. Broth
er Homan has been working on it for
weeks. and will soon throw himself bod
lily against the whole house. The gen.
tleman from Burleigh has already won
friends by his kindly good nature.
Lawrence Casey landed the bill clerk
ship in the senate. Mr.. Casey has been
here at several sessions and has many
friends. He and the house members
from the Williams-McKenzi district be-
gan to take obesity cure two months
prior to their arrival in Bismarck, which
accounts for the difference between that
in size and the one from the
Mouse river banks. But what the Will
liams-McKenzie boys lack in weight they
promise to make up in speed. "a n,

country eight presidents. and n OF
the eight was grandfather Of another
president. Again the White House
will be the abode Of a VirginIan for
four years and it would not be count
cd to his discredit IL his line OF de-
scent should be found to include one
of the matrimonial transactions in to-
bacco.
Let 1t not be supposed that the ex.
pertinent in the state OF Washington
lacks seriousness. There is good stuff
in its surplus men Or they could not,
among other things, raise apples that
have taken the lead in the markets OF
the world for excellence OF flavor,
form and color. A homesteader with
out q wife is a lonely object. There
is work enough around him for two,
and he seems willing to share it on
the cooperative principle. AS both
husband and wife have the full ballot
they break even in politics. Men,
bcrship in the Legislature is open to
both. A. board in control Of the state
bureau Of matrinony should be
equally in charge of men and women.
Courtship will be courtship wen if a
state assists in bringing it about. In
an affair of this sort no initiative can
deprive either side of a final personal
referendum. Princes are habituaIly
married as the state directs. Napole-
on was welded the second time by
sending a proxy to the ceremony, and
first saw his wife on a country road
in France when he opened the car
riage door and looked in upon the
blooming Maria Louise, otherwise
Mrs. B%onoparte. 1t remains for the
state Of Washington to make good,
and so far it has scored no failure.

EGISLATORS CAN DIVIDE STATE
BY PASSING SUCH A MEASURE
A PEN PICTURE OF THE
SECRETARY OF NAVY

The New York Herald mas drawn
the following pen picture OF Josephus
Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, who
visits Pensacola Tuesday:
He does not smoke, drink, chew nor
swear.
He owns three successful newspa-
pers.
He wears white socks the year
round.
He wears a crash suit and little
neck collars in the summer time.
He is infatuated with hard work.
He Eas a charming wife and four
fine healthy boys.
He hasn't much money and doesn't
care.
He is a veteran member of the
Democratic National Committee.
He is one Of the best liked men
in the Cabinet.
Walk right up ano slap him on the
back. He is not a bit warlike despite
his belligerent title.
He will be fifty-one years old on
May Is, and it's been :. battle with
him the greater part of Ihe journey.
There were no silver spoons IN the
Daniels family when Josephus arrived
His parents were in a position to give
him name, and that's about all:
but 1t must be admitted they hunted
around until they found q fancy one.
No danger of any one forgetting such
an imposing front name You're not
going to meet persons scratching their
heads in an effort to remember who
is Secretary of the Navy. His name
stands out in President Wilson'S Ad-
ministration like the Adams apple in
a giraffe.
The name Wilson has played a
prominent part in his busy career. He
was born in Washington, d.. c., but
not long after the family moved to
Wilson, In the same State. Newspa
lsers always ~&esv a ssosxarfsAl rfasctsea-s
ton for him. While he was help
ing himself to the three RS" he got
the idea that it would be grand
little thing to own the most powerful
paper in his native State The school
room door had not closed behind him
before he laid the foundation for his
goal by starting an amateur news
paper. He was only eighteen at the
time he began moldfng public opinion.
He studied law and was admitted to
the bar but never had any idea of
