tion is that Attorney Edward p.
Humphrey, the Beckham campaign
Chairman in this district, is espe-
cially we'll thought of in the party,
and whom many would delight in
assisting In any other cause he
espouses but the present one. II is
not believed that Mr.. Humphrey is
responsible for the bringing into the
local calcium light OF Beckham and
Haley, or that other blunder of try
ing to coerce administration en-
ployes into supporting the ex-Gov-
ernor's cause. Here is the situation
In a nutshell: Nine out of every ten
men on being queried as to their
choice in the Senatorial race will
answer by saying 'I have no espe-
cial choice, but am against Beck
ham," which means that Beckham
can not hope to carry this dictrict
in the primary and would seriously
endanger the success of the local
ticket in November IL he is chosen as
the nominee.
The supporters of Gen. Bennett II.
Young, candidate for the short
term, are highly pleased with the
success of his campaign thus far, he
receiving several big receptions this
past week, and with the promise of
a big vote in Louisville and Lexing-
ton, his managers predict for him a
big victory.
Hon. George B. Barrett, Repre-
sentative in the last General AS
sembly from the Forty-fifth district,
is being groomed as a possible can
didate for Railroad Commissioner
to succeed "Billy" Klair next year,
and many of the leaders have al
ready pledged their support, know
ing that his personal following
would make him a formidable candi-
date in either the primary or gen.
eral election.

EDUCATION HELPS PATRIOTISM

Just now Rome is full of Ameri-
can prelates, and many more are
expected in the next few months.
This year the dominant note in the
Holy Fathers conversation with Wis
iting prelates has been the religious
education of children. Bishop Nc
Donnell, of Brooklyn. in speaking of
private audience at the Vatican,
said: "The Pope's proverbial love for
the young seems to have increased
with years. He told me that moth
ing is dearer TO him than the news
that a new school or new asylum for
children has been opened. He firmly
believes that religious education
strengthens patriotism and purifies
and ennobles ideals-in every pursuit
of life. He urged me never to for
get the children of my diocese and
to send him frequent reports"
Bishop ]. ]. Hartley, of Columbus,
Ohio. told practically the same
thing

MEETING CROWDED.

At the meeting of Division 3, A. o..
u, on Monday night the hall was
crowded with members. every one
having something to say before the
proposition for raising the dues and
ntatoniiiiii Oi... -. ... ....-,.
initiation fee was decided. With the
exception of a few old members all
favored the increase. The purpose
OF the proposed change is to raise
funds in order to employ some
capable person to look after the hall
and home all the time, and also to
be enabled to make needed improve
ments from time to time. The final
conclusion reached was that for the
present the dues remain the same,
but all members who can will join
the Hibernian Social Club, the dues
OF which are only ten cents per
month, and In return the club will
take over the work and look after
the improvements. A large amount
of routine business was transacted
and eight applications for membef-
ship we're presented.

work of distributing free of cost and
throughout all the United States
Catholic books, papers, tracts and
leaflets, the total distribution for
the year being 476,000 pieces as
against 1000 for the year pre-
ceding-excess for the last year
1OS,9S5. The work of answering, in
columns of the secular press, attacks
upon Catholic doctrine and Catholic
practices has also been continued; (;
numerous communications to the
ends in question having been pub
lished during the year over the
signature of the society. II is the
hope that these public vindications
have accomplished some good, and
that they have in many things in
formed numbers who could not have
been reached otherwise in the in
terest of Catholic truth.

POPE is WELL.

A Rome cablegram says the Pope
is in excellent health. He has started
to take morning drives in the Vati-
can gardens with one of his secre-
taries in a closed carriage. He
breaths the "open air" as he says.
and occasionally walks for a few
minutes. Usually he drives. as even
at such comparatively early hour
the gardens are not very cold. The
halls and corridors of the apostolic
palaces with their light ceilings and
thick walls are much cooler, and thus
there is some danger OF the Pontiff
suffering from chill after returning
from the sunny garden tn the cool
temperature OF the corridors where
he would prefer to take walking ex-
ercise.

WHERE BIG STUNTS ARE DONE.

Hiram Gabb was a boss to work,
He was born that away, .
Does everything with a snap and jerk,
Work to him's like play;
Talk about your husking corn,
You'd better leave it to Hi,
He'll beat any man ever born
And at that he'll shut one eye.
Talk about making railroad ties,
Hiram took the medal for it,
Beat a galoot bout twice his size.
1t didn't bother Hi a bit. 7
He done all this and a blame sight

Sitting round the stove in the grocery

And about their size and weight?

That's the kind he used for bait!

That Is within an inch or two,
With scales the size Of a depot gong
And gills like an old rubber shoe.
The deacon flshed with a common

A rainy day when his bait was thin

Besides the ones he threw back in
He yanked 'em out till his arm got

SATURDAY HOLIDAY
FOR RETAIL CLERKS

The Survey: Tucked in among the
advertisements of white goods, para
soils M summer silks, in the New
York newspapers, there has been an
important notice the past week affect
ing thousands Of department store
clerks.
This notice that seven of
the largest mercantile establishments
in the city-Altman's, Lord and Tay-
FIor's, McCreery's, Vantine's, Bonwit-
Feller's, Franlin Stmons and Wanna
makers-will for the first time give
their employees an entire holiday with
pay on Saturdays during July and
August Oppenheim, Collins & Com
pany will close on Saturdays during
August. In addition, each of these
stores gives vacation with pay to
employees who have been with them a
certain length Of time, usually one
year or over. Another department
store, James A. Hearn and Son, has
closed its doors on Saturday for four
teen years., but in this case the custom
has taken the place of a paid vacation.
The Consumers League Of New
York City has been bringing pressure
to bear for many years that the Satur-
day half holiday now granted in the
big stores might be made a Saturday

hot summer months would react upon
the efficiency Of the workers.
But nobody dared go first. IF they'll
do it across the street, We'll do it," said

HfANANA'S SUPPORT.

The conditions favoring the re-
Nomination of Governor Hanna by the
republicans at the primaries next
"Wednesday daily grow more evident.
The governors candidacy is running
evenly all over the state. He will
have a strong following in each coun-
tfy. There are many counties in which
FBurdick will be Strong, but in others
he will have little support. The same
situation is true Of Wishek. 1t Is quite
apparent that the candidacy of these
two men is rather confined largely to
certain localities. A careful survey of
the political field indicates it is merely
a question Of the Hanna plurality.
One factor that is SO favorable to the
governors denomination is that so
many of the former insurgent lead
ers are behind his candidacy. George
b. Winship, who began to call atten-
ton to the faults Of the republican
organization twelve or fifteen years
ago., and through his publication at
Grand Forks made success possible
for the revolt against the old order of
things, is strongly advocating the re-
nomination and the reelection OF
Governor Hanna. He points III the
fact that Governor Hanna has quietly
Strengthened out many financial prob
tlerns in North Dakota. that he isspIac-

cry along more business like lines

ward to North Dakota taking the place
which 1t should rightly hold as a
manufacturing center. The efficiency
Of the appointees Of the governor. the
manner in which they have perform
ed their duties and nan other rea-
sons are urged why the governor
should be retained another two years
for the completion of the plans he has
formed for the development and the
betterment of the state.
His position favoring law enforce
ment and standing four-square for the
best moral interests of the state is
winning his enthusiastic support in all
sections of North Dakota. The people
have confidence in L. B. Hanna. They
know he has made good" and see no
necessity for a change.

A DICE.

Twas climbingsup a mountain path
With many things to 10
Important business of my own,
And other peoples too
When 1 ran across a Prejudice
That quite cut off the view.
My work vas such as could wait,
My path quite clearly showed;
My strength and time were limited
I'carried quite a load;
And there hat hulking Prejudice
Sat all across the road.
So I spoke to him politely,
For he was huge and high,
And begged that he would move a bi
And let me travel by.
He smiled-but as for moving.
He didn't ven try.
And then l reasoned quietly
With that colossal mule:
My time was short-no other path
The mountain winds were cool;
argued like a Solomon
He sat there like a fool.
Then I flew into a passion,
l danced and howled and swore;
I pelted and belabored him
Till I was stiff and sore:
He got as mao as I did,
But he sat there as before.
Then I begged him on my knees
/ might be kneeling still.
If I SO hoIed to mov hat mass
OF obdurate i'll will
AS well invite the monument
To Vacate Bunker Hill.
So I sat before him HELPLESS,
In an ecstacy of woe,
The mountain mists were rising fast
The sun was sinking slow.
When a sudden Inspiration came
AS sudden winds do blow.
I took my hat. I took my stick.
My load l settled fair:
l approached that awful incubus
With an absent-minded air.
And l walked directly through
him.
AS if he wasn't there!

what that nation has done; what It
has contributed to the commercial.
moral and intellectual advancement Of
this state, than this trip in the heat
of a campaign?
But Governor Hanna has stated tht
case briefly. If the people of North
Dakota want him for governor again,
well and good. He Is not an Office
seeker in the small sense of the word
and will only accept the responsible
ity of public service at the behest Of
the people.
Governor Hanna has not made a

a attended closely to official duties.
He left Fargo last night for his
long journey with a light heart, will

the just and dispassionate arbitra-
ment of North Dakota's electorate.
What little campaigning he has
done has been clean and dignified, be-
fitting the high office he holds. One
opposing candidate has waged an un-
fair campaign. Whether it was his
fault, personally, or just the intern

not, and We care not, but we do know
