EDITORIAL NOTES
BY J. ID. WATSON

ny y. ~. WATSON
WHILE the resignation Of Mr.. Bryan from
the Cabinet caused sensation through
out this country, as well as in Europe, the
result OF its effect has been entirely different
from what Mr.. Bryan thought it would be-
Instead OF the people siding with the
former Secretary, they have condemned him
IN the most scathlng terms, and the brick that
he threw at the Presidents back. rebounded
and struck him down.
Never before has this generation seen a
public official left so alone in the cold to
bear his OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES before have we
seen the Democratic press turn on former
leader OF the party and denounce him for
about everything that public official could
be called
From a traitor, guilty of treason, to
selfish egotist, seeking the opportunity to fur
Their his selfish ambitions, is the way the Dem
ocratic papers, heretofore loyal to Mr. Bryan
through thick and thin, are picturing him to
their readers, and not one of them has said
word in his defense.
Those papers that formerly made efforts
to defend him as Secretary of State have
Joined the anvil chorus, until Mr.. Bryan
stands alone, unworshipped and despised by
the very ones who, since 1896 have blindly
followed his every move.
Where last week he was honored and re-
spected he is today denounced and despised
SO bitterly that it is impossible to fully realize
the completeness of his fall-it is impossible
to realize that the man who always played
such an important part In the affairs of the
Democratic party, stands entirely stripped Of
everything stripped even of the credit for
sincerity and good intentions.
Who would ever have dreamed that Demo
cratic papesr In the South would have de-
\ ID i Il
have believed that they would describe his
last public act as one of treason?
But the unexpected has happened, and the
empty campaign orator of many years has
retired to private life. valued at his true
worth by the people who have been SO long
fooled
Equally as unanimous as the denunciation
of his resigning is the opinion that the
country gains by losing him as Secretary Of
State-nobody now dares deny that he was
simply an empty politician undertaking to
fill statesmans office.
And perhaps the lesson will be good one
to the President in appointing a successor.
Perhaps it will show him the error of pay
ing political debts with such high honors as
those bestowed upon Mr. Bryan. Perhaps
it will make him realize that the American
people desire Premier who measures up to
size in the discharge Of his duties
His next appointment will save us the en-
barrassment of being the laughing stock Of
the world-it will save us the humiliation of
seeing our highest Cabinet officer, auctioning
himself off to the highest bidder for chautau-
qua attractions, to fill out the side show per-
Torrance.
Whatever was the real motive that
prompted Mr.. Bryan to resign, the con
census Of opinion is that it was other than
that stated in his note to the President-no-

Thursday evenings dance in the
Odd Fellows hall, at which the music
was furnished by the Langdon orches-

corded quite ar attendance of the
young people of the town and vicinity,

Ben Cooperman, a former Langdon

over here from Pembina in his capa-
city as deputy state game warden for
the Seventh judicial district his visit
here gave him the opportunity OF
greeting a large number of old Penn
bina county friends, whom he had not
seen in years. When Gov. Hanna
named Gunder G. Thompson as one of
his state game warden, the choice fell
upon a man who has all the true
instincts of a hunter who would con.
serve the game interests of NORTH

honored recognition to the long stand.

John Mahon of Langdon was here
Monday looking after his farming
interests south of Iona. He proposes
to build several bins to hold the big
crop which he expects to start thresh-
ing in the course of the next few days.
Hasso Pepperack, who is the right
hand man of Erick Larson, the 500
section boss at this point was on the
sick list for a day or two of last week
but is nov on the job again.
John Kunkle arrived here from
South Dakota one day of last week
and SAYS that he struck a dandy Job
through the harvesting and threshing
season in less than half an hour of the
time he landed in Iona.
Referring to the Democrats item
of the "Gussie' Scholtz wedding in
the last issue your correspondent de-
sires to say that the paper %blundered
to the extent of putting the pants on
the wrong party participating in this
nuptial event over on the 500. The
high contracting parties were Mr..
Gus. Scholtz of Iona and Miss Inga
Dahle of Nekoma.
The Merriam car baked on the way
to Iona while they were making the
trip here one day Of last week. How
ever, they were fortunate in being
carried as passengers on another car
going in the same direction. Their
machine had to undergo a course of
repairs during the interval. 1t is
now all right again, until the next
time.
Fred Thompson and wife were over
Sunday visitors at Derrick, where
they enjoyed the hospitality at the
home of the parents Of Mrs. Thomp-
son, returning home Monday forenoon.
This vicinity experienced a killing
frost during the night of Wednesday,
the 25th of August. 1t seems to have
come sufficiently early to do damage
to most of the late uncut grain while
all the garden stuff through this Sec
ton got fixed for keeps. Old settlers
state that Jack Frost's visit this fall
was earlier than usual, but if we re-
call events that have transpired since
the opening of spring it will be noted
that conditions prevailing through the
entire season have been what might
be termed abnormal.
