VALUE IN STRAW PILES.

Governor Hanna has interested
himself in the study OF the straw pile.
If the war can concentrate the at
tention of capitalists upon the f7as
straw that each year is either burn
ed or allowed to rot and d~eteriorate,
who can tell the possibilities for this
state?
Pulp for the manufacture OF pa
'pers and pulp boards is decreasing.
Our forests yield each year a smaller
supply and it is only a question OF
time when substitutes must be used.
Governor Hanna, with a business
foresight that has made his admin
~istration as chief executive such a
success, when in Congress introduced
a bill that provided an appropriation
to defray the cost OF investigating
the use OF flax straw in the manufac-
ture of paper and other products.
If the war keeps up certain sup
plies of raw material will be exhaust
ed. Already our mills and factories
are realizing the true significance Of
'tmade in Germany" Let US hope,
however. that the trade slogan,
"Made in the U. S. A." will be known
all over the world.
In Europe's misfortune lies our op-
portunity.
Governor Hanna is taking steps
now to develop the trade possibilities
of the state. His selection as one
of the directors Of the regional bank
will prove a big boon to this state
As the "a progresses money natu-
rally will not respond to the trade
demands as readily as in times OF
peace. Governor Hanna can perform
a great service for the state by yir-
tue of his position on this board.
He has shown by his deeds, no.
words, that he is qualified to direct
the business of this state. The vot-
,ers are not going to swap horses at
this stage of the journey.

Minded Institute
Fills Important Place
Is Doing for Inmates What No Other Institution Could Do in
Way Of Training and Improvement.

The biennial report of the 1nstitu-
ton for the Feeble-Minded, at Graf
ton, made TO the board Of control, and
now on file with the governor, con-
tains some interesting facts.
Under section Is of the enabling
act, admitting North Dakota to STATE
hood, the wing to the p~enitentiary
built at Sioux Falls, S. D.. costing
$4,000, was granted to South Dakota,
and a like sun, fora like purpose,
was granted to the state of North
Dakota.
By a subsequent act of congress,
the building was located at Grafton,
and the secretary Of the interior pur.
chased 10 ere of land fer a site and
called for bids for the building
In the meantime the people were
under the impression it was to be a
United States ~peniten1iary, and it was
NOT until 1898 that the fact became
known that it was 10 be a state peni-
Tertiary, so the state had no use for
II, as the state penIentiary had al
ready been built at Bismarck.
In Superintendent Archibald's re-
port of the state hospital at James
tcwn, for 1898, he called attention to
the fact that there were l25 feeble
minded children in the state. of teach
able age From This report Senator
J. l. Cashel conceived the idea OF To-
Gazing an Institution for feeble-mind-
ed at Grafton on the property already
belonging TO the state. Accordingly
he introduced a bill amending the
state constitution at Grafton. On &C
count of various reyerses and over
sights the amendment was not passed
till 1901.
The institution lies one-half mile
from the business center of the city
OF Grafton-Io the west. The ins1iau-
ton farm lies north and EAST of the
institution buildings and consists of
1s3 acres
Besides the main building, hospital
and ward building there is a we'll
equipped manual training building. a
laundry building and a power house.
The farm buildings consist OF farm
hoTse, barn. machine shed, hog house,
chicken house and silc.
The main building cost 5000: the
hospital building, $4,000; ward build

~NoN.PARTisAN JUDICIARY.

It would seem that the easiest way
to secure a non-partisan judiciary Is
to discard the elective system OF
judges entirely. Sentiment for an ap'
pointive judiciary is growing daily
When we adopted a I~on-partisan 1u'
dietary law, the selection Of judges
was made more partisan than ever,
1t compels candidates for judicial OF
flee to placate more than n party,
Instead OF reducing the scramble for
Judicial places it has increased the
number OF candidates.
Recently in the state Of Washing
ton, Democrats, Republicans and Pro
gressives, pending q primary election
issued a joint address, urging that
the present judges whose terms were
about to expire be unopposed.
Our present primary law does no;
decrease the amount of campaigning
a Judge must do. On the contrary.
il increases the burden. A man quail
flied to dispense Justice often at the
behest of his friends and members
of the bar, is forced to make a can
of the voters and to resort to
other political methods most distaste-
full to a judge and not in harmony
with the dignity of the Office.
The only hopeful sign of a sue
cessful elective system is the atul'
tude taken by the parties in Wash,
ington. That is a step that approx
mates, at least, non-partisanship.

With the Editors
AN lNslNUATION.

We hardly like the heading of the
paper used by the ladies of the North
Dakota Suffrage league. "Woman's
Ballot viii Bring National Prohibi-
ton in 1920" 1t is an insinuation
that the men of this state have not
been doing their duty as good ci.i-
zens and lack in effort to further
moral movements. A glance at the
laws on u statute books as com
pared with those of any other STATE
or country, will convince the most
skeptical that moral issues have not
been neglected or the proper safe
guarding Of children or that u pure
food laws are no. the best in the
world. 1t may be that human rights
demand suffrage for all persons alike,
whether male or female when Of
proper age and sound mind. That has
the sound of argument The charge
that the men are not capable n will
ing to do what is right is q part Of
the argument of the long-haired and
the short-haired women which cannot
find favor with the majority OF the
present-day yoters-Balhgate Pink

course to pursue in the game Of poll
tics lis to claim everything, but bet
on nothing" In a finished address
last evening, Doc Purcell put the
sky limit on his Democratic claims.
He painted a picture little short of
the millennium and garnished it by
an apotheosis of Wilson and Bryan.
Graft he nailed as purely a Repub-
lican diversion. Preservation of
peace with the world, he credited to
the pilot of our ship of state, VIII
liam Jennings Bryan, the second in
command"
He declared that the Democratic
party was the first in the history OF
this nation to d~ifferentiate between
an Aggregation of capital and a
group of individuals" The result,
he declared, was the aorogation OF
government by Injunction"
His definition Of the difference be-
tween a trust and a labor union was
mere political sophistry. Everyone
knows that a labor union admins
tered arbitrarily can become as po-
tent a trust of its kind as any "ag-
gregation of capital"
Mr.. Purcell also claimed for the
Democratic party the credit for the
dissolution OF the International Har-
vester company. The records show
that the Investigation Of this alleged
combination was begun under the
Taft administration and practically
completed when Wilson was elected.
There was another slight slip in
Mr.. Purcell's facts. He declared that
the New Haven was prosecuted by
the Democratic administration. Only
the preliminaries were commenced.
Unless memory fails us. Attorney
General McReynolds compromised
and the dissolution vas accomplish
ed without prosecution.
Big business has always been a
welcome visitor at. the Democratic
court Posing as an inplacable foe
OF the trusts and Interests" is mere
political clap trap, as Wilson's visit
ing lists clearly show.
Mr.. Purcell declared emphatically
that every pledge in the Baltimore
platform had been fulfilled and that
the Democratic party goes before the
nation as pure as snow and chaste
as Ice.
There is one startling evidence OF
platform promises unfnahlled. With
revenues falling OF due to the Under
wood-Simmons tariff bill and the wal.
the Democratic administration is
launching one of the largest appro-
priation measures in the history OF
the nation The Baltimore platform
went on record in no uncertain terms
against extrayagant expenditures and
promised to decrease appropriations.
Governmental authorities on all
sides have shown the Democratic
leaders in both the House and the
Senate how they might lop OH s1o5.-
O0o,onn from the general %appropria-
ton bill and thus eliminate the neces-
aaty of ! war tax"
