The editor OF the Hannah Moon may
not be just exactly gmarvel of diplomacy
but the situation is certainly handled
with commemorate political skill when
with the wisdom IT King Solomon he
gives expression to a desire to see State
Superintendent Taylor and State High
School Inspector Hayward each hold
sheir present official positions for another
term. From Editor Boyd's view point
the solution is perhaps a logical one, but
many of the leading educators of the
state look upon Richard Hayward as the
tue logical successor of Sup't Taylor and
as for the Hayward vote from Cavalier.
his home county for nine years, that will
speak for itself. The non-partlsan feature
of educational offices under the amended
election law clears away the party ticket
obstacle, which otherwise might en-
barYass many of Mr.. Heyward's would

Langdon and WaIhalla, along with the
inland towns of Olga and Beaulieu on
the route, are giving voice to quite a Wig
orous remonstrance to the rumor that
the post Office department at Washing
ton contemplates the abandonment Oft
old established through mall route ser
vice between Langdon and Walhalla
Both terminal points feel that the
change, if made, is one that would wora
a great inconvenience and delay both to
handling of mail and other business
which for many years past has been
handled over the route. The CONNER
cial clubs of Langdon and Walhalla re-
alize what this change means and the
department will be petitioned and have
its attention promptly directed to what
an injustice would be done by abandon
ing the present service and serving the
patrons of the route with a schedule run
ming about half way from each town.
To abandon the present daily mail service
between Langdon and Walhalla would
work an unmerited injustice on many
small points in the north eastern part
part of the county. For instance it will
take a letter from Langdon as long to
go to the little post office of Numedahl,
twenty four miles distant as it would for
it to travel to New York city.

Governor Hanna is a pretty good busl-
ness man and perhaps that Is the reason
why he refused. as a member of the
board, to pay off the state prison bonds
as suggested by the then warden of the
penitentiary, +. O. Hellstrom, who called
his attention that there was money on
hand to pay these bonds and that such
steps should be taken. Hanna's business
instinct said "hold it over until it can be
done as coming from my administration"
1t was good business for Hanna, perhaps
not good business for the state however.
1t has cost the state just the amount of
she interest on these bonds since that
time that Mr.. aanna might make the
spectacular payment of bonds with
which the republican papers have been
allied for the past two weeks. 1t is
SAFE to say that Mr.. Hanna's safe and
sane business methods are those which
will rebound most to the credit of Mr.
Hanna. That is the way he became. a
multimillionaire and he still seems to be
IN the manipulating line. II the dear
newspaper boys who are bowling their
heads off about Hanna's great saying to
the state wish it we can give day, date
and amount at which and in which the
governors attention was called to this
matter. Some of the other statements
with regard to big benefits derived by
he state are ammunition which will
:ecoil as much as this interest saving
