Washburn, N. D., Jun. 2S.-Politica
matters In Mclean county seem to b.
settling In regard to the selection Of the
next state senator. While! q great many
candidates have beer proposed, since c,
W.. McGray Of Underwood, has announce
ed his candidacy sentiment seems tc
have eliminated u large number Of Bar
kisses.
With former senator John T.. Williams
of Turtle Lake, deciding to engage in
the practice of law exclusively, and hav-
ing announced his candidacy for states
attorney, the upper branch Of the North
Dakota legislature will lose its hand
soonest member, the distinction which,
Mr.. Williams has borne with fitting
grace during the past four years of his
legislative experience.
The nomination of Mr.. McCray for sen.
ator seems to- be generally conceded by
his friends throughout the county, and
1t seems to be. generally acknowledged
that should be finally chosen as a mem-
Der Of the upper house that he will prove
a valuable member. He is a business man
of unusual ability and experience. He is
a pioneer Of the county, knows the
needs Of the county and his constituents.
He is active, is a man Mhoy makes
friends rapidly,s and will make an ideal
man for the place that has oeen chosen
for him. :.
Mr.. Williams who has decided to be-
COM a candidate for states attorney, is
one of the. leading lawyers of Mclean
county. and It Us his desire to devote
his entire attention to tfsah3practicc Of.
law that leads him to forsake the lcgis-
lative field. He has already commenced
his canvass and seems confident he will
be nominated. XXI

Bryan, Roosevelt and the Senate

In his reference to the Senate the other night, Mr..
Bryan confessed that when young he aspired to a
seat In that body, not that he was at present cher
ishing such an aspiration. Those who wish to make
Mr.. Hitchcock uncomfortable have another thought
coming.
one can easily understand. how a seat, in the SEN
ate appealed to the young man in whom ambition
was beginning to stir. He had the stuff in him for
eminent public service, and it was moving him to
drea1ns and plans. The Senate must have looked
both great and COED. /.
Not mprobably;~had he not scored with his bril-
liant speech at Chicago in 1896, he might at an
%opportune time have, made play for the Senate. He
had aStaste of the House, and while a representative
had surveyed the Senate close up. And close up the
Senate looks to an experienced man as good as to"a
gifted lad just waking to opportunity.
But the Senate now is, or should be, out of Mr..
|Bryan's calculations. lie scored at Chicago, and
thereby developed a quality taking him out OF the
Senate's line. His work is of another kind, and le
does It not only effectively, but with relish. His
gifts are for agitation and entertainment, rather than
for the details of legislation. The Senate would cirs
culmscribe his powers and opportunity. AS an elo-
qaents agitator and entertainer lie is one of a few.
There are not many in his class.
and then it is suggested that Mr.. Roosevelt
may round up in the Senate. He would be as much
out OF place there as Mr.. Eryan. His talents and
tastes are wholly unsenatorial. His forte is agitation.
True. when young lie served in the New York legis.
lature, and when governor Of New York, and later,
when President, helped shape legislation. But the
Senate would be a slow place for him, and he a slow
man In the place. So restless and intolerant a nature
would chafe under rules and practices imposing. ia.
thence and federation. He would either languish and
become unnatural in such an environment, or else
to save himself would resign and return to duties
conEenial to his equipment.
The field gfsagitation is always open, and many
enter but 1sssBsssAafnntsants in this country have done
90 much thsfasA n MI. Bryan and Mr. Roosevelt.

Travel or Maryu?

A young man recently put this problem I'M tn an

he is through school, has made a good start as a
salesman, has a nice little nestegg Of money and
possesses the go which foretells, success.
Il would like to travel" ne says. II would like

There are unquestionably too many men who set
tie down and become mere grinds; men who recall
that famous English epitaph: "He was born a man
and died a grocer Travel broadens a man; has its
delights stored Up IN memory which no business fail

But! iffhe could do both! The travel would make
him more efficient and perhaps a better companion
and father by and by. And one can secure its bene-
fits without the full year and the trip around the
entire globe, il he SO chooses"
The young ladies who read this will think: why
Doesn't he go on in business, marry the girl, and
take her abroad with him on a honeymoon trip; and
have the whole thing?' Sure Observation-Disclosures.
The fact that the new treaty with Switzerland:
contains a clause dealing with ~yodelers serves to
remind that Colonel Bryan is still secretary of state.

An ImprQcticQble PROPOSAL

The reported purpose of Representative Stanley
to introduce q bill that will take out of the hands OF
the attorney general Of the United States the power
to direct prosecutions for violations Of the. Sherman
antitrust law and vest it in the various United States
district attorneys has been commended on the ground
that the President of the United States once declared
he would not %construe the purchase Of stock of
enc concern, during a panic. by a competing concern
such a violation of the law as would justify prosecu-
ton. But those who have greeted tine announcement
with glad acclaim seem to have reflected little on
the administration of Justice.
There are few cases of any kind In the United
States courts that originate with district attorneys.
Prosecutions for violation of the postal laws follow
Investigations by ~postothce inspectors, trained in the
peculiarities of the particular laws involved and in
gathering evidence. The prosecutions for counter
feiting follow operations by the trained secret serv.,
ice. Violations Of the internal revenue laws are
prosecuted after treasury. agents have done the pre-.
liminary work and requested the action. The prose-
cutio1s Of men accused with conspiracy to defeat q
goveyninental policy in disposng Of public lands have
been worked up and largely directed by specialists.
When a national bank goes into the hands of exam
iners tie department of justice sends a special agent
at request of the comptroller. Tie assembling Of the
evidence is done by the examiner and the special
agent. And so with practically all federal Ofenses.
The district attorney has neither the technical skill
nor the means of conducting investigations, even
where the overt acts have taken place in his juris-
diction. The appropriations for the courts are made
in lump and are under direction of the department
of justice. -
The very nature of a trust makes its prosecution
by the attorney Of a small district impractcable. II
it is much of a trust its ramidcations cover q vast
area Of country and the gathering Of evidence re-
quires work over a correspondingly wide territory.
The district attorney would have no time for such an
inquiry, in addition to his routine duties. lf sqPpierS
i mental legislation be enacted SO as to +; make sfpfadflnc 9
acts of a corporation or its officers ohenses, such
cases might be handled by the several district attor-
neys. But to entrust u general trust prosecution,
either criminal or civil, to q district attorney would
be folly<.:And the only argument urged IN Its sup
port, that the President and attorney general are
not t0" be trusted to do their duty, but that their
subordinates may be relied upon, needs put 70 w
stated for its emptiness to appear.

A Neglected Catherine

The press associations lack their usual sense OF
proportions in dealing with the National Conference
OF Race BetterIncnt, which was recently in session
at Battle Creek, Mich. Only brief dispatches have
been sent out concerning this assembly Of the fifty
seven varieties of reformers. No more cosmopolitan
gathering ever assembled in a city famous for its
collection of pecularities. Every phase of the uplift
is represented. The purposes Of the conference
cover unlimited scope. What could be more COM
prehensive than the general question of race better
ment? The presence of Dr.. Washington might lead
to the hasty conclusion that the word race is limited.
But the human race is embraced in the term, and
If any of the progressive thinkers should feel i'm.
pressed with the necessity of doing something for
the inhabitants Of Mars ne would be given an oppor.
tunity to air his views.
Space forbids a catalogue Of the varieties of re-.
form that were being urged at this national confer.
ence. Everything in the heavens above, the earth
beneath AND the waters under the earth, that in any
manner affects the welfare of the human race was
discussed with fervor and illumination. There could
not be %unanimity Of opinion, Of course. Advocates
of better babies clash with the advocates Of more
babies. Whether beer, grape juice or coffee is the
most injurious was another subject of lively COM
ment. On the general subject Of diet there was
naturally a wide divergence of opinion, with SO
many different makers of breakfast foods participant
Ing In the discussions. Even ~eugenics does not
escape debate. The proper day of rest could not be
agreed upon. many residents of Battle Creek dis
agreeing with the visitors.
But unfortunately, the human race must rest in
general ignorance of the plans being devised for its
betterment, owing to the inexplicable failure of the
press. 1t is to be hoped that a stencsraphic- report
OF the proceedings may be transcribed and that some
raceloving member Of Congress will read it into the
Congressional Record, so that it may be scattered
broadcast under the Thanking privilege. Otherwise
the race must grovel in ignorance and the enthusi-
asm Of the participants in the conference may be.
come lukewarm or die out altogether. There are
few mute, inglorious Millions in the ranks of the
uplifters of the race. They do not put their light
under a bushel. but set it upon a candlestick. The
general neglect of the gathering at Battle Greek
manifests a shameless lack Of gratitude. The very
saw materials in the breakfast food factories should
cry out against it.

LETTING PHILIPPINES DRIFT.

Alter the time which has been taken in the consideration of the Jones bill, which has for it's purpose the exten- sion of self government if not inde- pendence to the Philippines, it is with much confidence that the house com mittee in congress has the temerity to present favorable report thereon at this time. Under ordinary condi- tions such 8 bill is bound to arouse opposition until the people of those islands are in proper shape to under take such responsibility, but since the glaring exhibition of a total disregard for neutrality which has been furnish ed by this present calamity in Europe, the merits of such a condition have greatly depreciated. Such offers no security for the peace or independence of territory which is needed for carry ing into effect a plan of aggressive action against another country. Neith- CT does it serve as a. bar against the grabbing of such neutral territory for the extension of domain or the secur- ing of valuable possessions.
 The naturalization of territory has developed a grand failure in Belgium and there is no reason to suppose that it would get any better treatment elsewhere the moment such islands became necessary for maintenance of power. The Jones bill seeks to weak en the beneficial work which this country has been, and is doing in the islands and seeks to. shift a burden regardless of our obligations, or the results which threaten.

Cartwright, who stated that the object of the society was to en- tighten the minds of the public with respect to the nature of their just rights, to obtain a radical reform in the house of commons and to recover certain rights which they conceived had been lost by the people. Others who testified in his behalf were the duke of Richmond, the Hon. William Pitt the Rev MT. Myvill and the lord bishop of Gloucester.
 At the conclusion of the evidence Mir Gibbs, one of the prosecuting at torneys. addressed the jury. when the lord chief justice proceeded to his charges, capitulating the addresses of several societies and after a very able and impartial speech, proceeded to comment upon the evidence produced in behalf of the prisoner; the result of which, together with his observa- . tions on the other parts of the case and how the whole was borne out by the evidence, it was solely their i'm portant province to decide according to their consciences.
 The jury. after conferring for about eight minutes, returned with a yer dict of Not guilty" It was no sooner announced by the foreman than'it was received with universal exclamation.

Fifty five years ago today the first driven oil well in the United States began to give up its prec- ious fluid. The event marked an epoch in the illumination of the world and the beginning of many huge fortunes. The chief iHum- inants of that day were sperm, or lon; ''camphene," a derivative of turpentine and very liable to ex- plosion: "coal-oil," obtained from coaf~alnd Scotch boghead, selling at about S2.00 gallon. How to light the home and workshop cheapiy was a serious economic problem. It was that argument that infiu- enced two Connecticut finaneiers to advance $1.000 to 'Col." Edwin L. Drake, who proposed to drill an oil we'll near Pithole. Pa.. where for generations the local residents had been gathering oil as 1t hoated on the surface of creeks and pools. Drake began work in 1857. His early attempts resulted In failure; his financiers refused more money, and his workmen deserted. His country side. 'He might as well drill fer whiskey,'' remarked one rural spectator. When on the verge of starvation, Drake finally secured financial aid from Pennsylvanians and resumed his operations. Months passed. Several drilling methods proved fruitless, until he sank a. six-inch iron pipe. At depth of \71 feet the pioneer finally found traces of oil, and the next morning the liquid was found flowing ltb- orally upon the ground It was the beginning of one of the greatest of modern industries.
