Mr.. WIsHEk's CANDIDACY,

Courier-News: The development of
the campaign for the gubernatorial
nomination makes it more apparent
that the candidacy Of Mr.. Wishek is
aimed at Governor Hanna. His appeal
is made to the resubmissionists, who
may not realize that no governor can
secure resuhmission without the con-
sent of the legislature. Moreover, the
liquor men are destined to the great
est surprise of their lives if they
think even by resubmission to get the
saloon back into North Dakota. It is
gone forever, and it is possible that
the people backing Mr.. Wishek know
this. 1t is not personal liberty so
much as the governors political scalp
they are after.
Meanwhile staunch temperance
worker calls attention to the fact that
the constitution of the German Amer.
lean alliance prohibits all political &C.
ction, and to avoid violating that, the
persons concerned organized the Per-
sonal Liberty league which is suppos-
ed to represent German American
voters.
1t is libel upon these citizens to
faint them by the odor of the rum
shop. There are thousands of Ger
mans in North Dakota who are fav.
orable to the present law, and very
many who realize that the conditions
attendant upon the use of alcoholic
beverages in America are very differ
ent from those in the Fatherland.
These are not led about by the Per.
sonal Liberty league or anybody else.
Meanwhile, If one can Judge from
the political gossip which floats into
this office, the enemies of Governor
Hanna are working overtime and with
a fertility Of device stamps them as
not altogether unfamiliar with time
Worn political methods. Some of the
governors friends would like to see
him stay in North Dakota and get in
action upon the variety of movements
aimed at him.

THE SPEED MANIA.

Are the new models in shipbuilding
to be credited with the disasters in the
maritime world in recent years, or are
these tragic stories of the deep a re.
suit of the fact that the sailors of the
new school have not yet adopted the
motto, safety first?"
The tendency in shipbuilding in re-.
cent years has been toward greater
height, diminished width, and a
length which would have been regard
ed as fatal to safe movement by the
mariners of an earlier day.
Sailors who are left to their own
methods are never in hurry. They
know what dangers there are in haste
over the variable highways of the
deep. Owners of vessels have plenty
of reason to know that haste makes
awful waste, where movement on The
ocean is concerned.
The fault is readily traceable to the
big travelling public, that refuses to
.. cultivate the capacity to enjoy leis-
urely travel, but which is determined
to patronize the ship that travels fast.
est.
The number Of disasters on the wa
, ter may be lessened greatly. But it is
clearly popular sentiment that must
be corrected, and not the science of
deep-water sailing.-Forum.

FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL.

Alfred Zuger, candidate for Attor-
ney General, was in the city Saturday,
and called at the office of the Times
Record. Mr.. Zuger is making an &C.
tive campaign for. the nomination
for Attorney General. and there is no
doubt but that he will receive a heavy
vote in Barnes county. While it is
claimed by some that the fact of his
and Heffron's platforms being modelled
along the same lines will react in
favor of Henry J. Linde, the third
candidate, there is no doubt but that
his long experience as an attorney
and as assistant in the office of the
Attorney General, would help largely
in qualifying him for the office he
seeks.

PUTTING OFF THE EVIL DAY.

The proposition of the Senate to
submit to arbitration the question of
Panama canal tolls exemption seems
to US to SAVIOR strongly of the ridicu-
lous. In one sense it may be proper
to ask an international tribunal to in
terpret the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
But there are the other and important
aspects. Here is a controversy in
which the entire world is interested,
every nation in proportion to the vol
ume of its shipping. 1t is not simply
difference of view between the Unit
ed States and England. So it is pro-
posed to submit to arbitration a ques-
ton on which every interested nation
has taken sides against US. 1t is in.
viting a decision against US in ad.
vance. How can We hope for verdict
from a jury which already has been
polled and found to be adverse?
If the diverting and flibustering
proposition Of the Senate is agreed to
and We 60 into arbitration, we will
lose. The result will be that we will
be compelled to take, under pressure,
a position we should take now as a
matter of right and justice. We will
be driven into policy which we
should adopt voluntarily because we
know it is just.
The arbitration proposition looks
like a mere time-saver. The outlook
has been for an early passage Of the
repeal measure and the opening of
canal upon terms of international
equality. To 90 into arbitration might
mean interminable delay and the en-.
joyment by the shipping trust, in the
of the unjust discrimina.
ton in its favor provided by the ex-
listing law. Perhaps that is what the
arbitration proposition means.

One of the features of the recent
meeting of the Mississippi Valley His.
torical Association at Grand Forks is
deserving Of more than passing notice.
This was the presentation of an His
torical Pageant of the Northwest by
the University Sock and Buskin So
ciety at the Bankside Theatre, Univer.
sity. 1t was an effort opresent some
Of the more stirring scenes Of the
early history of the northwest in as
realistic a manner as possible. The
scenes were mainly those of the early
explorations and the convicts between
the Indians on the one hand and the
English and French on the other in.
Guiding the story of Radisson and the
adventures Of LaSalle and Verendrye.
1t closed with picture of the Lewis
and Clarke expedition under the guild.
ance of Sakakawea. The cast of char
acters numbered more than three hun
dred persons including several full
blood red skins from the reservation.
From the point Of view of actual his.
tory it could not have been improved
upon. Every scene as we'll as every
phase had the approval of the genius
of DR.. Libby who is universally con.
ceded to be the greatest living author
ity on the early relations between the
white man and the Indians. The dra-
matte feature Of the production was
under the guidance of Prof. Koch and
he proved himself to be a genius in
deed.
The entire production including the
words, also the lyric interludes and the
music as we'll as the costumes and
stage equipment was the work of the
various members of the above society.
The story of the pageant has been
put in book form and bids fair to be.
come a permanent part of our histori.
cal data, while from the point of view
of dramatic interest it will surely have
a brilliant future.

Some idea of the view taken of the
Valley City Chautauqua and its Sec
rotary manager, may be gained from
the following excerpt taken from THE
Platform" the leading Lyceum and
Chautauqua magazine of the country.
Its editor, Fred High, stands high in
the Chautauqua world, and his views
will be of interest.
"A few days ago there came into
The Platform Office, a bushy-headed
preacher, from North Dakota. Just
one glance at hi mand l knew he and
l were friends. l could tell that by
his necktie.
1--WE chatted for an hour then went
out and had supper, visited some of
the centers where Chicagoans try to
extract the joys of life. We studied
few problems first hand that most
men and women see only in books,
and then departed with a better grip
on life, more love in our hearts for
our fellows and more sympathy with
the failures.
Rev. Alexander Karr halls from
Valley City, North Dakota-the town
that has found out that the chautau-
qua is not substitute for circus,
but is purposeful institution that is
run primarily for the benefit of the
people of Valley City and vicinity.
Here is another thing that Valley
City has found out. The people Of
North Dakota want entertainment;
they want to be lifted out of the rut
of the commonplace; the daily grind
is actually sending the farmers wives
to the insane asylum. North Dakota
is not looking for school teachers nor
preachers. She is looking for those
rare souls who radiate sunshine, VINO
give out inspiration and instill hope.
The musician with a soul, the singer
with song, the reader with a mes
sage, the lecturer with a purpose, is
what is needed in those towns and
villages on the great plains, where to
look is to see.
Rev. Kasr agreed with me that
more monographs and less thrashing
machines is what they need, and we
agreed on another proposition and so
that settled it.
Eyes, Clarabel, We actually agreed
that that Valley City needed more
chickens on the chautauqua grounds
and less henning on the platform.

MAKING HANNA VOTES.

The Mandan Pioneer charges, in an
editorial reproduced on this page, that
Burdick, who has been acclaimed as
conducting clean" campaign, was
anything but fair in some of his state.
ments in that city. In fact Mr.. Bur.
dick is alleged to have 50 far for.
gotten himself as to try to influence
votes by abiding to Mr.. Hanna's pri.
vate income, and insinuating that Mr..
Hanna controlled" certain papers.
This kind of campaigning will react
against the Williston man. 1t was
stated when Mr.. Burdick first became
a candidate that there would be moth,
ing of the kind this year.
The Bismarck Tribune also makes
the following charges:
Some Of the roorbacks being
sent out in plain envelopes, at
lacking Governor Hanna, show the
desperation of the opposition.
Roorbacks are the last resort of
lost cause. They can't hurt
Hanna, in fact they are strength
ening his candidacy daily.
The intelligent electorate of
North Dakota is not going to be
led astray by these eleventh
hour attacks on Governor Hanna.
He has made an excellent gov
ernor, even the roorbacks admit
that when they go back to the
mouldy arguments Of years gone
by.
He deserves a second term and
sgoing to get one. The attack on
Governor Hanna is too noisy to
reach the silent vote.
There have been conspicuous in
stances in the past in North Dakots
where the kind Of campaign that /!
being conducted against Mr.. Hanna
at present, has resulted in largel,
increased vote for the man who wa,
Knocked" Those who are attackin,
Mr.. Hanna in this way are maxim,
votes for him.-Forum.

WHAT is YOUR BABY WORTH?

Not long ago little child disappear
ed from the home Of a well to dc
eastern family. The father Offered
ten thousand dollars for the child's re
turn. A few days later, in the heart
of New York's Little Italy, the son Of
a struggling shopkeeper was kidnap
ped. Its father, who accumulated
small capital by living on bread and
macaroni and working fifteen hours a
day, seven days in the week, offered
one thousand dollars for the return Of
the child.
Was one baby worth ten thousand to
its father, and the other one thousand!
No! The baby was worth just every
dollar the father could rake and scrape
together.
That is the answer every father
would make: MY baby is worth ev.
erything l have in the world" And
mother would agree with him.
Yet, isn't it strange that parents,
who will pay all they possess as a
ransom to kidnappers, do not realize
that they are taking bigger chances Of
losing their babies because they do
not Know the best ways for the care
and feeding of their children?
The officials of the Valley City
Chautauqua will have a remarkable
feature on the Chautauqua grounds
this year "a Better Babies
Contest-which will not only prove
how much babies are worth to their
parents and the community and the
nation, but how a better race of babies
can be insured. The Better Babies
Contest is a scientific medical ex.
animation of children under five years
of age, for physical and mental de.
velopment. The judges are physic.
ians who pass on the baby's condition.
Sturdy limbs, firm flesh, steady nerves
good digestion-these and not pink
cheeks, soft hair and dimples, make
better baby and prize winner.
Such baby of incalcuable value to
parents and the country, for a healthy
normal baby means a healthy desir.
able citizen.
If you think your baby is in this
class, write to R. Acher, the superin.
tendent Of the Better Babies Contest,
or to the secretary of the Entries and
Enrolment Committee for inform2&
ton about this splendid contest II
your baby is up to the standard, it
will win prize, and even If it does
not win prize, it will be given Ger.
tificate of examination, showing that
it has Joined the ranks of the Better
Babies and is going to be the best
baby next year.
In addition 20 the contest and the
interesting examination of the babies,
the Chautauqua officials will distribute
free literature on the care and feeding
of babies and there Will be a Better
Babies Health Exhibit which will in.

COMMUNICATION.

~ Iuc 4AAACS 4NCCOAu.
Why cannot road overseers use a
little common sense while building
roads? Here We are again, up against
the same proposition as last year, but
with more backing, such as more
money, farmers clubs, automobile
clubs and other organizations in that
line. What has become of all that
money that has been spent on roads
o nthe rolling prairie where we find
grades over sloughs, which after lots
of work, have been for nothing be-
cause of lack of drainoge?
We find in almost every case where
the water is allowed to run down the
wheel track, when it finds the grade in
the. slough there it finds the higher
grade on the sides and lower in the
center and forms a pond until it sinks
down and soaks up the grade. Is it
any wonder we have such deep ruts on
our grades? If these were properly
crowned, the water would have no
chance to lodge and form a pond and
grades woul always be hard an dry
For an illustration. If two inches Of
water is above to rain in the wheel
track it would require two hours to
soak it in and it would have the same
effect as five hours of steady rain. Now
if it rains hard for one hour ant the
water is allowed to run of, 1t would
soak in only an inch or two. Now any
one can see how harmful water is to
roads. We can safely say if proper
drainage was taken care of, We would
have public highways instead of what
we have now. If any Of the road over
seers can not see the danger Of water
remaining in the roads for hours, they
had better walk down the railroad
track to notice the many difficulties,
cuts where cutters are so frequently
filling up. But the section foreman
tages care of this because If the water
was allowed to stand on the tracks, it
would be easy o6gure out what con-
dition the road would soon be in. The
road overseers ought to take lesson
from the railroad and get busy, as the
country roads need drainage as badly
as the railroads.
When the road overseer goes before
the township clerk and qualities, he
solemnly swears that he will support
the constitution of the United States
and the constitution of the State Of
North Dakota. That he will faithfully
discharge the duties Of the Office of
road overseer for road district so and
so, to the best of his ability, so help
me God. We will ask the applicant a
few questions: Does he not know that

"A BETTER DEMAND. Downward Movement Checked After
 Heavy Selling.

New York, Feb. 26.-The aggressive bear party which took control of the market yesterday renewed the attack at the opening today. There was heavy. selling, especially of Steel. Read ing and Amalgamated, and prices were depressed generally, but the decline was small and of short duration A better demand appeared at the lower was checked. The shorts, unable to bring about a further break. began to cover, and prices rose fractionally above yesterdays close. There the movement ended. Trading in the lat ter part of the day was light and hue- tuationS were trivial.
 Foreign selling was less of an in- huence than on the preceding day, al- though London continued to dispose Of stocks here. Sales for European ac- count amounted to perhaps 2o,000 shares. This selling. together with the lower range Of quotations for American stocks i'll London, was influential in depressing the market at the opening. Foreign selling of the low priced rail- road stocks. an unsettling influence yesterday, subsided today, and these issues made a better showing. Denver and Rio Grande and Rock Island shares made good gains, and the de- clines in Missouri Pacific and the Wa bash and Missouri, Kansas and Texas stocks was halted.
 0SSplIG JAO p1 ClIpIllQOc "1iA1 WlI4N4l the bear onslaught was check td. oper- ators on the long side made nolattempt to force Up the market The possi- bility of 8 shift at any time in the Mexican situation made traders reluct- ant to take on new lines of long stock. Heaviness of foreign markets and sug- gestions of serious financial difficult ties in Paris also held back this mar ket.
 The January figures of the Hartman lines were in line with the reports of other railroads, indicating general falling off in gross earnings. Union Pacific's gross decreased $327,00o, but the net ghrinkage was held to $2b, 900 by means of a contraction in operating expenses. Southern Pacifc's gross de- creased $37o,00 and it's net nearly as much.

DoNcs IN THE AUTOMOBILE WORLD

| many different lines to be displayed Nle decorative features of the show in the past huve always been most elaborate and artistic. and while the
 detail of the. scheme for the coming show has not been made known by Manager Chester l. Campbell yet he states it will be Tore exquisite than | be a series of venetis\ scenes with a
 great deel of color winch will serve to make a beautiful background for sey- eral hundred new ears.
 The show Is only a few weeks away and Is all ready for staging, and New 1 Englanders may be assured that 1t !, will surpass anything that the Boston Automobile Dealers association has ever done. All of the various depart ments will be filled to their capacity
 and everything that is worth while In the motor car industry will be on ex- 1 hibition.
 There will be an unusual array of
 musical talent to entertain all during
 ranged for three widely known orches-
 tras that will give continuous con certs.
 Wednesday. of course. will be the
 big day of the show. It is Society
 day. The automobile show has all ways brought out Boston and New i England society in large numbers on
 the day that is set apart for them.
 There is usually a great outpourins of 1 beautiful women handsomely gowned. The governor of Massachusetts al-
 ways sets apart 8 day to visit the Bos- 1 ton automobile show with his staff. It has been the custom of the chief executive from the first time of the show. Governor Walsh will attend as usual this year with his staff. but at [ this time has not made known the day | that he will grace the occ&Slvn. ! The accessory department is going i to furnish very agreeable surprise l to the trade and public in general
 There will be in this department g
 great number of manufacturers that
 are going to make their debut to the
 retail trade of New England. They will bring with them number of in- | novations that will have & decided at-
 traction to the motor car trade. The
 motor accessory manufacturer is usu- 1 ally one year in advance in details of
 refinement for the motor car. In this
 department there is usually foreshad- l owed what is to come on the automo- bile of a year hence. and Manager Campbell advises all persons who are I interested in motor cars to make g i most minute inspection of the access sorles, as he feels that this is one o1 1 the most important features of the show.
 Of course. the cycle car is going tc be one of the strongest features This hybrid automobile is new to the mo- ! toring public. In fact. it is new tC | the trade, and it's appearance and dim inutfveness would naturally have ar 1 appeal that would be bound to at- 1 tract. All of these types will be ar ranged in one department on the first floor which has been given exclusive | ly to them. At this writing there art | a dozen manufacturers who have ar ] ranged for space. so it would appear that the cycle car division will be by far larger and more representatiN
 than any displayed in this country.
