mittees will meet with them and
then active work will be started on
the various propositions put for
ward.
One of the most satisfactory fea-
lures of the meeting last Friday
night was the spirit of harmony and
cooperation manifest. During the
meeting many members spoke on
the various phases of the questions
under discussion. A final vote, how
ever determined each method of pro-
cedure and then all members dis
played spirit of push and energy in

meeting that they will more than se-
cure their moneys worth.

How many were on the train
is not known. A force of rebels

NEVER REALLY GOT
INTO THE GAME

Bartlett Wiley, travelling sales
man, has blown his brains out. at
Evansville, Ind. He was just
tired of the game.
He was As years old and a
bachelor. He was high liver.
He had Travelled extensively and
knew people and customs, history
and points of interest, and was
sill travelling.
Tired of the game? Why, he
wasn't in the game at all. Living
for oneself, enjoying oneself,
wandering about by oneself aren
the game. Forty five years old
and only himself to work for, do
fer, live for. No wonder he was
tired, but that is no more being
in the gone than buying a bag OF
peanuts at the. tent entrance is
seeing the circus.
The game is doing things for
others, not caring for self only.
The game is having a home, not
a chair in club room. The game
is having a wife and children in
ones heart, not having safety
of travel and of high living i'll
one s heart.
The poor devil was simply look.
ing at the game. He was merely
peeping over the shoulders of
players at the chess board of
life without knowing what
pawn could do to a ':Gng,"
or castle to a knight without
having a cent or a heart throb Of
mis- own at stake. Minneapolis

IT Is ALL A PO-
LITICAL DEAL

A writer in the Forum made
a great todo about the Joe Rem
ington release case, alleging that
the convict had his sentence COM
muted from life Imprisonment to
thirty years and that the remain
ing nineteen years of the thirty
had been further reduced some
eighteen years in year or SO Of
service and the man released.
This was claimed to be contrary
to law, and of course the old clap
trap charge was laid at the door
of the warden, Mr.. Hellstrom.
The claim was also made that the
lynchings at Steele and Williston
grew out of the pardon board s
action in the Remington case. A
more unt1uthful deliberate dis
tortion of facts could hardly have
been devised.
The Ozone never believed in
the Rent ngtcn pardon, but that
is merely matter of opinion and
has no bearing on the formal op-
Grafton Of the machinery provided
for the pardon board Is acraon IN
such case Remington was pardon
ed after his sentence was commut-
ed as many claimed would be the
case. But that the release Of
the man on the pardon by the
warden was an unwarranted act,
and that Remington is now a
refuge, as was claimed in the
letter, is not the fact. Alr. Hell
strom writes the Forum a clear
statemt Mt, and refers to the
inten Of the letter-to
create political capital. That is
the truth, and like all such dis
honest met ethods, will fall flat.

to change their habits. The only
way to see that the law is en-
forced is for the parents to join

A move is being made in the
senate to provide for commits
sion to be appointed by the presi-
dent to receive and pass on all
applications for appointments.
1t would relieve the president of

rejoice. At last they can pub
lish the news that "North Dakota
is swept by blizzard. 1t might
have been a real blizzard if there
had been more snow blowing
around and not so much dust, and
If the thermometer had gone
farther down. Let them spread
the news though as it will be

state. No other state in the
union can boast Of any better
weather than has been enjoyed
here this winter, and with no
storms until the last week in JAN

Here are what presiding Judge
Paul j. Mccormick Of San Fran
cisco has announced as ''Thirteen
Mistakes Of Life,'' easily made
and not readily rectified, as
result of his long experience on
the bench and at bar:
'"To attempt to set up your
own standard of right and wrong
and expect everybody to conform
to it,
'To try to measure the enjoy
ment Of others by your own"
ITO expect uniformity OF opin-
ions IN this world.
TO fail to make allowance for
inexperienced"
"To endeavor to mold all dis
positions alike.''
Not to yield in unimportant
trifles."
ETo look for perfection in our
own actions.
"To worry ourselves and others
about what cannot be remedied."
"Not to help everybody, where
ever, however and whenever we
''To consider anything impos-
sible that we cannot ourselves
perform.
''To believe only what our
finite minds can grasp"
"Not to make allowances for
the weakness of others"
"To estimate by some outside
quality, when it is that within
which makes the man."

wAsHBURN CORRESPOND
ENCE IN TRIBUNE

Washburn, N. D., Jan. 28.-Po-
litical matters in Mclean county
seem to be settling in regard to
the selection Of the next state
senator. While great many
candidates have been proposed,
since C. w. McGray of Under
wood, has announced his candi-
dacy sentiment seems to have
eliminated large number Of
Barkises.
With former senator John E.
Williams of Turtle Lake, deciding
to engage in the practice Of law
exclusively, and having announced
his candidacy for states attorney,
the upper branch Of the North Da
kota legislature will loose its
handsomest member, the distinc-
tion which Mr.. Williams has
borne with fitting grace during
the past four years Of his legisla-
tive experiences.
The nomination Of Mr.. McGray
for senator seems to be generally
conceded by his friends through
out the county, and it seems to be
generally acknowledged that
should he finaAy be choosen - .
member Of the upper house that
he will prove a valuable member.
He is q business man Of unusual
ability and experience. He Il .
pioneer Of the county, knows the
needs Of the county and his con- s
stituents. He is active, 10 q man 1
who makes friends rapidly, and I
will make an ideal man for the /,
place that has been choosen for
him. sss
Mr.. Williams who has decided to-
become candidate for states-st
torney, II one Of the leading law
yers Of Mclean county, and tits
his desire to devote his entire at- 4
tention to the practice Of law
that leads him TO fozsake the leg

seems nfident he will be nomi-
mated. q
