Hanna Joins Peace Party.
Governor L. B. Hanna has left to
go to Europe on the Ford peace excur-
sion. Lieutenant Governor Frame will
act in the governors absence.
Personally, am not certain Mr..
Ford's movement will bring about
peace" said the governor, "but some
one must break the ice.
~ have received messages and let
tiers from almost every section of the
state urging me to accept There are
many residents of North Dakota of
Germanic descent others of French,
Belgian, Russian, English and Scotch
ancestry. Without regard to race or
creed, all seem united in their desire
that this peace movement should be
initiated and that should participate"

diversion Not Eligible?
w. B. diversion, who was appointed
by governor Hanna several days ago
as a member of the state board of
control to succeed ]. w. Jackson, re-
signed, according to a report current,
because he was member of the state
senate when the board of control was
created. The law provids that no
member of the legislature shall be ap-
pointed to any position created by the
legislature during the term for which
he has been elected.

Hon. Geo. Wallace of the state tax
commission has been asked by States
Attorney LANCER of Morton county, to
present to the supreme court the con-
stitutional cases involved in the fam
GUS wine seizures at Hebron. Over
$4,000 worth ot wine was seized by
Mr.. LANCER ard its disposal will de
pend upon the decision.

Legal Advisers Disagree.
With the opinion of two legal ad-
visers of the state at direct variance
on the question of enforcing the vac
cination regulation, authorities are
making little progress. Former Attor-
ney General Miller held vaccination
could not be enforced. Linde, present
attorney general, says the regulation
can be put into effect. The state
board OF health, OF which Dr. McGur-
rem is secretary, is without funds to
fight the case. DR.. McGurren, how
ever, is strongly in favor of VAGINA
ton, even though it be compulsory.

Change in Control Board.
A change was made in the personnel
of the board of control, when Hon. ]
w. Jackson of Williston resigned to &C.
cept another position, and Senator
Willard diversion, Williston, of the For
ty-first senatorial district, was appoint
ed to take the place vacated by Jack
son. The resignation of Jackson was
a distinct surprise of all his friends.
Even the people of the capitol had no
intimation Of the act until the matter
had been fully consummated and the
appointment of Senator diversion to the
nosition made.
