The following vas used by the Will

The home merchant. Who is hey
He is the chap who gives you credit
when you are financially broke, and
carries your account until you are
able to pay.
He is the chap who gives you back
your money or makes exchanges when
you are not satisfied with what you
have bought.
He is the chap who stands behind
his guaranty land makes restoration
of all losses that you may sustain on
the goods you buy.
He is the chap who meets and
greets you on the street every day
in the year and takes a neighborly
interest in your family and your af-
fairs.
He is the chap whose clerks and
~bookkeepers and other employees live
in Dickinson and spend their money
with you and with other Dickinson
people.
He is the chap who pays taxes to
help support Dickinson schools, and
build Dickinson streets, and maintain

BOUNDARY PUT BACK

Pat Burke, editor of the Scobey
Sentinel some time ago moved the
Canadian boundary north twenty-five
miles and the story made such a
commotion that Secretary Bryan had
to write a letter explaining that he
hadn't been consulted about the mat
ter at all. Burke has finally decided
to move the boundary back and stop
the agitation for fear that the neutra-
lity of nations may be pushedeout Of

He is the home merchant-your
neighbor-your friend-your helper
in times of need.
Don't you think that you ought to
trade with him, and be his friend and
his helper in the time of his need?
Don't you know that every dollar
that you send out of Dickinson for
merchandise, is sent to strangers-to
men who W spend a dollar in
Dickinson, to men who would not
trust you for a box of matches?
You don't save much, frequently
nothing, when you send your money
out of Dickinson and you take all the
risk yourself of short weight or meas
ure and of getting damaged or in
ferior goods. And don't you know
that the growth and prosperity of
Dickinson depends very largely upon
the success and prosperity of the
home merchants?
Out-of-town people judge the city
by the appearance of local stores and
the degree of enterprise shown by
local merchants. And the home mer-
chants cannot succeed unless home
folks give them loyal support. .

+ I have been in North Dakota three
years the 18th of March, 1915, and if
I had had a little money to start with,
I could have been sailing fine now;
but I was broke, and worse than that,
was in debt and had nothing to do
with but my hands-and had a wife
and four children to make a living
for, besides myself. But I made it,
and am going to make more if I don't
have too much bad luck. I now have

ONE BIG ACCOMPLISHMENT

ONE BIG ACCOMPLISHMENT
The Mandan Pioneer rings the
bulls eye with the following:
Even if this session of the legisla-
ture ignores every recommendation
made by Gov. Hanna in his message
except the suggestion of a budget for
the state institutions and the crea-
ton of a board of regents to have
charge of the educational institutions,
they will still have accomplished more
for the service of the state than any
other session for many years.
1t is no longer necessary for the
representatives from cities having
state institutions within their borders
to trade off their bodies and souls in
order that such institutions may re-
ceive what they actually need in the
way of appropriations for improve
ments or maintenance. The state in
situations are considered as a whole,
and the fact that an asylum is located
at jamestown or a reform school at
Mandan and that the fellows from
jamestown or Mandan or elsewhere
were not con the band wagon" cuts
no figure.
The board of regents to be ap-
pointed in charge of the educational
institutions will have powers to cut
out much of the duplication that has
cost the state a tremendous sum. We
are confident that Gov. Hanna will
make selections for this board of men
who have first of all good common
horse sense, with as liberal an educa-
ton as possible. But common sense
is more needed than a batch of de-
grees to qualify a man to make the
best regent.

In appointing L. F. Crawford of
Sentinel Butte for the six-yes.r term
on the board of regents, Gov. L. B.
Hanna made no mistake. A better

likewise a good business man and no

ALWAYS THE INSOLUBLE

charlottesville "ewig weibli-
che," inscrutable, never to be under
stood by mere man, has given US an
other turn, this time in Chicago city
politics. The Sullivan machine ran
Schweitzer for the democratic nomi-
nation, and while his opponent, Carter
H. Harrison, five times mayor of the
city, is not noted as a reformer, dur
ing the last year or two he has be-
gun to enforce the laws fairly we'll.
Schweitzer had the ardent support of
Bath House John and his ilk.
In the republican camp Judge
Harry Olson was the candidate of the
good government people and William
Hale Thompson of the Lorimer ma
chine.
1t was confidently expected that
200, 900 women would vote according
to their politics, for Harrison or for
Olson, each the better candidate in
his party.
But alas, for human expectations
where the e. W. is concerned. They
didn't do it but apparently divided
just like the men did and the ma
| chine candidates won on both tickets.
Now the city can take it's choice be-
tween being plundered by a Sullivan
machine or by a Lorimer machine and
vice and crime may hold carnival I'M
der police protection.
Mrs. Ella Flagg Young made a few
remarks which the editor would
hardly dare to quote from a mere
man, but presumably it is in order
from her:
"Don't talk to me about wom-
en-. I always knew that if wom-
+ en- got into politics you never
could tell what they would do.
They are worse than men. I
shall not be surprised if the
$4,000 women who voted for
Olson will vote for Sweitzer in
the election merely because they
think it will be the winning side.
I lost my vote"
Mrs. Young voted for Harrison.
II guess the women got what
they wanted" mournfully as
serted Mrs. E. L. Stillman Of the
state suffrage board. "They
voted for a wide open town and
now I guess they will get it. I
think it is terrible"
"I'm. not surprised" said Mrs.
William Frederick Grower.
"Women are apt to do anything.
Now, William Hale Thompson
got a lot of votes because Mrs.
William PelouZe-that's his sist-
er, you know-gave a tea. Wom-
en- like to see other women's
homes, you know"
All of which the Courier-New sub.
mits regretfully, for it steadily anc
persistently advocates and believes il
woman suffrage, but it insists that ar
dent suffragists must not expect mol
inculate the idea that comforting the
vote upon women will at once cure al
the ills of politics.
The fact is that women are human
beings, and human nature is the same
in both sexes. They may be expected
to show just about the same kind o!
faults and to p~erpetrate about tn
same foolishness in politics that tn
masculine contingent does, at leas
until they have been voters long
enough to rise to the responsibility O.
