inclusive. 1t is with regret tina, we
chronicle the fact that E:nrnons
county will not be among the list of
counties 10 exhibit. In years past
there has been complaints of vari.
Gus nature relative to the manage
ment of the exposition. However,
in q matter of this kind it is impos-
sible to please everybody. And per:
haps injustice will be done. But
in the long run, it Is better to for
get these small troubles and push
the main idea along. The industri-
al exposition iden in itself Ia good
one. 1t is fathered by thu state
government and is under the super.
vision Of one of the state officers.
The Northern Pacific railways
furnishes the lerRe building which
houses the exhibits, and ali the rail
roads operating IN the state help to
push the enterprise with money and
labor. The best proof for the in
dividual that the exposition is a
good thing is demonstrated by the
fact that the leading Industrial
minds of the Northwest. the men
who engineer Iarge'concerns such as
the railroads. are deeply interested
in settling North Dakota to twice it's
present citizenship, are the hardest
workers for the success of the VEN
ture. 1t is wrong to knock the en-
tire proposition because some fea-
ture of it does not appeal. 1t is
wrong to let petty jealousies inter-
fere in the cooperation necessary
between counties and people to
make the exposition meet its great
est worth.

No doubt the excitement of the
European war has overshadowed
politics in this country for there has
heen little interest manifest over
the near by elections. In the state
camps there has been little doing.
Just last week the Republican cam
paign committee organized and got
under way. Their work will be
easy. Never in the history of the
state was there better feeling with
in the Republican ranks than now,
while the opposite holds good as re-
CARDS the democrats. National pat
ronage has been the undoing of the
organization and there are many
sore spots yet to be healed. There
will not be a democrat or progress
sive elected on the state ticket--and
the same holds good in the county
contests in this county.

In the Illinois primaries "Uncie
Joe" Cannon. one of the foremost
figures in American history for
many years. was renohiinated by the
Republicans as a candidate from the
Danville district as a member of
the national house Of representa-
tives. Cannon and Cannonism have
furnished food for demagogues for
many years and two years ago the
speaker failed of reelection. He,
unlike most of the old-timeis, Ie-
fused TO stay down and became q
candidate again this year. AS
speaker of the house for many years
he was likened unto despot in his
ruling, and was the recipient Of
many virulent attacks. One of the
greatest fighters in national politics,
he always stood his ground and
fought IAN eye for an eye and a
tooth for tooth. :" Just as every
thing else changes, SO does public
opinion. For that reason the meth
DDS in vogue during the time of
Cannon are not the methods If to-
day. However. that Cannon. was a
corrupt official; that Cannon was an
Inscriptions official does not fol-
low. Naturally most domineering
in makeup. he no doubt carried
those traits to his position as speak
er Of the house. Equipped with
long years of experience as parlla-
mentarian in the house and the
leader in many struggles of the ma
tion's history, it was only to be ex-
pected that he would be more or
less high handed. Should he be re-
turned to the house this fall it is
quite likely that the public viii dis
cover that Uncle Joe is the same
scrapper now as he was in earlier
times. And what is more: He may
not carry the prestige or power of
former times, but he will be at all
times power to be reckoned with.
The traits winch go to make up the
character of the man are those most
beloved by the American people.
With nothing of the superficial
about him. but with an excellent
command of language aud fiery
temper, he goes after an object
hammer and tongs. And he has
made his point perhaps more times
than can be said Of any other celeb
rity in national politics today. The
result of the Illinois primaries shows
thar his fellow-citizens admit his
worth. The hest test of a man is
the esteem in which he is held at
home.
