know it as we'll as anyone else, but they are ever so ready and
anxious to hurt Hanna, that they could not see how raw their
statement sounded to people who really know the truth OF the
matter.
Governor Hanna's message to the legislature which was pub
tention in all parts of the state, and the governor has been ac-
corded a great deal of praise for the manner in which he handled
building of real roads by the state, the budget system as to
finances, the appointment OF a commissioner Of labor, reduction
tional institutions less of a local nature, and other matters along
this line meet with the approval of the voters, and he has shown
and that he is anxious that North Dakota be classed as one OF the
most progressive and foremost states in the union. He also re-
commended a searching investigation into the agricultural college
and University, which have had more or less internal strife Tor
some time past and his words were to the point and conveyed
tiers to become endangered by petty differences. On the whole
the Governors message showed careful thought and preparation
and made plain that he is interested in seeing the present SEES
ion of the legislature do things that will benefit all Of the people
of the state
After a careful investigation the board of control has recon-
mended against the state building terminal elevators at this time
and we believe that their recommendation is a wise one. To es-
money, and then to maintain and operate them would require more
money than the state would have at its disposal. At the present
buying business. If the state has money to go into business with
we believe that it would be better to establish a farm credit system
and loan the money out to the farmers at a reasonable rate Of
interest.

Lately about our high taxes, and as usual charges it up to the

any citizen or taxpayer will only have to take their tax receipt
and peruse it carefully to learn that the cause of our high taxes
in the City of Devils Lake is %chargeabe directly to the conducting

"CALL ON ME-"

CALL ON ME-"
How politics dominates the diplomatic corps under the guidance
of William Jennings Bryan has been brought to the attention of
the public in a vivid manner through the testimony submitted at
the Sullivan inquiry in New York.
A letter written by the Commoner himself shows the true meas
ue Of our present secretary Of state, the second official in prom
:inence at Washington:
) Walker w. Wick,
Receiver of Customs,
Santo Domingo City:
:: My Dear Mr.. Vick-Now that you are arrived and are a-
quanting yourself with the situation, can you let me know
what positions you have to reward deserving Democrats?
Whenever you desire suggestions from me in regard to a man
for any place down there call on me.
You have had enough experience in politics to know how val
liable workers are when the campaign is on and how difficult -.
til to find suitable rewards for the deserving. I do not know
to what extent a knowledge of the Spanish language is neces-
sary for employees. Let me know what is requisite, together
with the salary and when appointments are likely to be made.
! Sullivan will be down there before long, and you and he
together ought to be able to bring about such reforms as are
necessary there, and you will find Sullivan a strong, courage
GUS and relible fellow. The more have seen of him the better
satisfied l am that he will fit in the place there and do what
is necessary to be done.
) Very Truly Yours,
Washington, D. c., Aug. 20, 1918. William Jennings Bryan
MI. Wick testified that Bryan ignored the law when he ap
pointed a financial expert at a salary of $4,000 a year to in
vestigate the financial affairs of San Domingo. These services
according to Nh. Wick, were never performed.
Bryan in public office has been a disappointment to his friends
but he made a serious blunder when he accepted a position in Pres
i4cnt Wilson's cabinet and especially one for which he was and
is now signally unfit.

 Mrs. Edward Porritts recording sec retary, made her report. She said that the work centered upon the vote on a. proposed constituti tiona1 amend nlent which was before the General Assembly. The petition of 43,6S7 verified names, presented was the largest ever sent to the Connecticut legislature On the day the vote was taken representatives were so flooded with telegrams from all sources that a recess had to be taken to permit of their distribution.
 Mrs. Porritt described the cam paign at the legislature, the hearings, and the appeal to the public. The vote on the question. "Yes 1O3, No 122," she said was an improvement over the vote in 1913 when it was 'fYes II, No 15A.,' With much less than a. corresponding advance victory is certain in 1917,' said Mrs. Porritt. ritt-

GREATER SCOPE IN EVANGELICAL
 EFFORT SOUGHT
President E. K. Nicholson Urges Baptists of State to
 Further Efforts.

sMidd1etown, Oct. 19.-More inten- sive evangelical effort was urged by Edward K. Nicholson, or Bridgeport in his address as president of the Con- necticut Baptist convention at the opening session of that body here to- day in 92nd annual meeting. Mr. Nicholson was unable to be present and his address was read by the Rev. Edgar R. Hyde, pastor of the First Baptist church, where the sessions areI held.
 President Nicholson called attention to the present prosperity of the church and warned his hearers that in such prosperity there was the danger that a Iessening of individual work might come.
 The decreasing tide of immigration, he said, due to war conditions in Flu rope, offered opportunity for much more thorough evangelical work than heretofore among rnose immigrants who take up a. residence in this state. He also advocated the singIing out of certain localities for more intensive evangelical work
 The report of the treasurer, Charles Edward Pryor of Hartford. showed that the receipts were e7911.90,i an increase of more than $f,2OO over last year from the invested funds $6,1oo; from the Home Missionary society $3,- TYP. 80 to be used in work ahnongs the foreign population.
