A.. arrival of tralnload of wounded
,oldiers at railway station as scene
NJ revelry, yet such is the account given
nv the special correspondent of the Free
MANS Journal at Amiens under yester-
A,v,s date. He writes:-
"a train of twenty carriages came in
,ooded with 600 Tommes. Sixty of them
were wounded, sent down from the fierce

fingers and gashes and rips in arms and

and every one of these boys was clam
orous to get back again in the thick Of
the business. The station was hushed
and auiet-until the fateful train came in.
And what happened? Why nothing more
or less tan a gala performance in khaki.
Instead of a dismal cortege this incoming
troop train presented a scene of sheer
revelry
EVERY carriage window was full of
brown, jolly. dirty, shaggy faces-faces

campaign there. leaving the German
armies In France to pursue defensive
tactics against the advancing allies)
LONDON, Sept IT.
The movement Of eight German army
corps from East Prussia to the theatre
of war I'm France Is taken to mean that
the Kaiser intends to aim final terrific
blow at the allies in an effort to crush
the opposition in France
Such sourse is directly opposite that
which yesterday was believed to be the
German plan. The withdrawal Of the
100000 soldiers in the East can only re-
suit in fastening the advance of the

PRES" FOR HANNA,

Governor Hanna's statement upon
his departure for Norway has captured
a majority of the state press. The Tri-
bune is publishing il another column
a few of the comments.
This is a case of the Office seeking
the man. 1t is an anomaly in politics
for a candidate to leave in the heat of
a campaign and notify the voters that
with them rests the decision.
The situation, however, is character
istic of Governor Hanna who has al
ways placed public service above pc.
litical service. If the people appre-
ciate his business administration, they
can continue it, but as for forcing
his nomination by recourse to mud
singing tactics Hanna and his friends
refuse victory at the price of self re-
spect.
The cold, substantial and influential
press Of the state is behind Hanna and
his first term will receive endorse

ANOTHER RooRBAcK NAILED.

U. l.. Burdick speaking at New
Rockford recently was challenged ef'
fectively by an old soldier when he
attempted to create the impression
that Governor Hanna had tried to de-
cieve the voters of this state in spre
seating the expense money allowed
the old soldiers by the state on the
occasion of their visit to Gettysburg
The old soldier Immediately stood
up and said:
"Mr. Burdick, l was there When
Governor Hanna presented US with
those ten dollar bills and he
was very careful to tell us that the
state was paying the money. He
never tried to take any credit to him
SELF"
This kind of Misrepresentation can
not help Burdick. Everyone who
knows Hanna, and even his enemies
will admit that he would not stool
to such small tricks. But a campaign
without issues or without excuse mus
find something even to the extend O.
creating them.

Attorney for Farmers Committee Declares They Received

Brantford, June Especial: More
than 100 farmers drove through a
binding rain storm last evening to
hear Benjamin Drake, attorney for
the farmers congressional committee

up the Manahan resolution, discuss
terminal marketing of farm products.

Toward the close of his address Mr..

that the committee representing the

Friends and foes of the liquor traf'

are affected. Pussey Foot Johnson il

agitation.
Under a ruling of the Uaited States
supreme court, that section of the 1856
treaty prohibiting the sale and intro
duction of liquor into sections OF
northern and central Minnesota is up
held.
1t is believed that other Indian

90 LOVE MARRIAGES TURN OUT
THE BEST?

You ask me to state my opinions on
a question which most nearly con
Germs me, says DR.. c.. w. Saleeby, for
it lies at the very root of Eugenics,
and everything depends upon the an
sWer which a man returns to it. So
pre-emlnent, for society and the fu-
ture, is the eugenic issue here that
you must allow me to extend the
meaning of your question, so that we
may ask whether love marriages are
the happiest, not merely for the mar
ried, but also for their children.
Yes, II Properly Defined.
IT the word love be properly defin-
ed, my answer is the most emphatic
affirmative that words can express.
Sensory attraction, however, called
love only by those who are incapable
OF loving, is not what we must mean
here. 1t is a necessary constituent
and physical root Of love itself, but
not the whole. TO base permanent
unions upon such attra ction-which,
unless 1t gives rise to higher things,
IS invariably transient-is to commit
the crime of crimes against society
present and to come. Hence the most
cogent argument for long engage
ments, that we may see whether ply
seal attraction is going to burgeon
in spiritual flower.
Some Cannot Love.

they have realings. Governor Hanna
has attained his place in the business
world because he is. a capable, eff
cient business man, who had faith in
North Dakota in the early days Of its
development, a man who grasped the
splendid opportunities that were Of
fered to the pioneers OF this state.
But more than all else, Governor
Hanna will get a landslide vote in
Fargo and Cass county because he de-
! serves it. He has done much for his
home city.
Had Governor Hanna not gone be-
hind Fargo college, both with his
money and his influence, that import
ant institution would have been clos
ed. This would have been a calamity
for the city and the state, and the
people of Fargo realize and fully ap-
%preciate it. The governors activities
in every effort that is made for the
advancement Of the city, county or
state, have always been noticeable in
Fargo. The Fargo college incident is
not the only one where Mr.. Hanna
has saved the day by the weight of
his interest, his inflcence and his hard
cash. q
Cass county has good reason to stay
solidly behind Governor Hanna. He
has been fair with the county and
stood for a square deal for Cass coun-
ty before the state board of equaliza-
ton.
Some of the friends of Governor
Hanna fear that if the prohibition ele.
ment in the state divides the vote be-
tween Hanna and Burdick, Wishek,
the man who is out on a resubmission
ticket, may be nominated. There is
probably little to fear from the Wish
elk vote, but friends of prohibition
should take no chances. While WISH
elk would have nothing to say about
resubmission, that being up to the
legislature, it would be an opening
wedge for the saloon element. The
safe way is to vote solidly for Hanna,
who is the avowed champion of pro.
hibition and bitterly opposed to result
mission.
The democrats are working for the
nomination of Wishek. They know
he would be the weakest man of the
three and easy to beat in the fall.
Governor Hanna has gone from the
state. He goes on the business of the
state, to represent the commonwealth
of North Dakota in his official capac-
ity, at the great Norway exposition.
Such a visit will be a big thing for
North Dakota and for the United
States. 1t will bind the old world
closer to the new, and will aid by in
ducing further immigration of the
sturdy and intelligent sons and daugh-
tiers of Norway to this state. Gov
ernor Hanna's visit to Norway is one
of the browning achievements of his
administration.
One of Mr.. Hanna's opponents, U.
l.. Burdick, has recognized this fact
and he stated that when Mr.. Hanna
went to Norway on this trip, he, Bur-
dick, would close his campaign and
go home. Will he do so?-Fargo Fo-

POOR COMFORT.

Those congressman who voted
against the repeal Of free tolls can
take little comfort now. The test
vote on the Simmons amendment fore
casts the early repeal of the free
tolls measure giving the shipping trust
a subsidy aid taxing the American
people, $1.25 for every ton that moves
through the canal free in American
bottoms.
The Simmons amendment is euphon-
ious and harmless. 1t was the means
of saving the faces of those who vot-
ed wrong the first time.
All but two of the North Dakota
delegation voted right and as far as
this measure is concerned the roll OF
honor is
