for U. S. Senator and Hon. Wesley
Mcdowell as a democratic candidate
for governor of North Dakota. Not a
bit of it It's not the men, but it is
the method with which the party of
self-designated state ticket promoters
are undertaking to do what the new
primary law of our state has designa-
ted to be the duty of the voters. AS
for the source from which this letter
emenates, that of itself cuts but little
figure. For the letter to bear as a
signature, North Dakota Demo-
c%rat," C. w. Wilkinson, publisher,
gives it a front though the paper has
no standing whatever as a party organ
over the state. Nothing would look
better to US than a party ticket head
ed with Hon. John Burke for the
United States senate, but his being
placed there must not be accomplished
by a method which will place the
democratic party under the curse of q
machine rule, such as is now bringing
the present republican administration
of this state into such disrepute with
the people who cast the votes.

was entered by sneak thieves on We'd
nesday afternoon of last week, when
a new suit of clothes and other arti-

thought to be the act of some hobo
who took advantage of the chance to
go through the place when no one was

Glaum, Dustin and Hinkle. 1t would
look as if the next incumbent of the

tain to be one of the fair sex, while
from the name in which the name!

GOOD MEN VS.. POOR POLITICS

In the past two weeks the letter
which appears below has reached
many prominent North Dakota demo-
Gratis, a copy also having been mailed
10 papers over the state:
Fargo, N. D., August Z, 1915.
Dear Sir: The editor Of the North
Dakota Democrat has been urged by
representative democrats from differ
ent parts Of the state to present the
names of Governor Burke and Senator
Wesley Mcdowell as the logical can
didates TO lead the MARTA! hosts of
democracy in the campaign of 1916.
With Governor Burke as candidate for
the United States senate, and Senator
Mcdowell for governor, North Dakota
will see the %cleanest and most inte-
resting campaign in its history. In
war the best private in the ranks is
the volunteer, but generals must be
drafted. If these men are to lead in
the coming campaign, they must be
drafted, and in order to focus senti-
ment the columns of the North Dakota
Democrat are open, and we invite the
democrats of the state to feel free in
expressing their sentiments on a ques-
ton that lei much to the success
of the party in the state and nation.
Let us hear from you.
North Dakota Democrat,
G. w. Wilkinson, Publisher.
"A sufficient length of time has been
allowed to elapse since the receipt of
this letter to enable the writer to note
to what extent this plan meets with
the approval of the party leaders and
the democratic press over the state.
We find that the unanimous endorse
ment for the good judgement of this
self appointed committee to draft a
ticket of democratic standard bearers
for the campaign of 1916 does not
to be forthcoming. The reason
is plainly to be seen. 1t is not be-
cause the voters do not feel that they

The last state legislature increased
the stringency of the game laws of
North Dakota, relative to the killing
Of game out of season. The penalty
for shooting prairie chickens before
Tuesday, September 7th, and after
the first day of November, when the
season closes has been increased from
$40 for each bird to a minimum of
$25 for each bird. A Jail sentence
may also be imposed. All game war
dens are required to carry out the
provisions of this law. The advice to
hunters is they had better observe the
provisions of the law and avoid trouble
and the expense which it will incur.

MAJOR SEMINARY.

The establishment in New Orleans
of a major seminary for the teaching
of theology and the full preparation
of students for the priesthood is pro.
posed by Archbishop ,Blenk, of that
See, in pastoral letter to the clergy
and laity of the diocese. In the letter
the Archbishop makes it clear that the
founding in New Orleans of great
institution for the training of young
men for the work of the Church has
been one of his lifelong ambitions. He
believes the time is now ripe for the
broaching of the project.
The communication of the Arch
bishop treats of the general question
of educational facilities for the sons
and daughters of Catholic families and
recounts unsuccessful attempts to es.
tablish in New Orleans the higher in.
stitutions for the education of students
for the priesthood.

REFUSES SIXTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS,

Hon. Michael J. Ryan, city solicitor
of Philadelphia, established u prece-
dent in municipal history by refusing
to accept sixty thousand dollars as
fees to which he was legally entitled
by decision of the supreme court of
Pennsylvania. The fees are known as
docket fees" and are allowed to the
city solicitor. This stalwart Hiber.
nian, however, declared that the city
solicitors salary was fixed by ordi-
nance at ten thousand dollars per year.
The total of the docket fees during
his term amounted to sixty thousand
dollars. Mr.. Ryan explained that the
public had a right to expect that a
fixed salary amounting to ten thou
sand dollars should prohibit q man
from accepting the fees. My con.
science won't let me take this money,
explained Mr.. Ryan. l have turned
the money into the treasury for the
benefit of the community at large.

SCHOLARLY IRISH PRIEST DEAD.
Irish exchanges chronicle the death
of the Very Rev. Jeremiah Canon
Murphy, D. D., P. p. Macroom. His
demise caused profound sorrow
throughout the city and county of
Cork, particularly in the diocese of
Cloyne. The deceased was in the
forty-fourth year of his priesthood and
was widely known for his erudition
and sterling patriotism. Born at Lis
laden, Inniscarra, in 1910, he was pre-
pared for the sacred ministry in St.
Colman's college, Fermoy. and in
Maynooth. He was ordained in 1871.
His first appointment was to the teach
ing staff of st. Colman's College. After
short time he was appointed to a
curacy in Ballyclough, near Mallow,
removing later to the Cathedral par
ish, Queenstown, where he labored for
twenty years. In 1897 he was ap.
pointed pastor of Macroom. He pos.
sessed one of the best individual col
lections of books in Ireland or the
United Kingdom, was fluent speaker
Of the Irish language and a lifelong
total abstainer, having taken the
pledge from Father Mathew.

of the issue then printing, and or
dered the deletion of certain por-
tions before allowing the printing to
proceed; they took away the type of
a leaflet not yet printed. The editor
and manager of the paper were sum.
moned before stipendiary magis-
trate to "show cause" why the seized
literature should not be destroyed.
The case was heard in camera; the
public were not permitted to know
anything about it except the decision,
which was. that the pamphlets should
be destroyed, but the copies of the
Labor Leader returned.
This is by far the most stringent
coercive action taken in England
against British subjects since the war
started. 1t has aroused a storm Of
indignation among British Radicals
and Labor men and letters of SYM
pathy and support are pouring into
the Labor Leader offices from all
quarters. There is no doubt that the
whole proceeding strikes at the very
roots Of freedom of the press.
More TyrannleaI Practice In ireland.
But 1t is leniency itself as compared
with what has been done in Ireland.
Q) Although the policy of the La.
Dor Leader has been unchanged since
the outbreak Of war, it is only now
that proceedings have been taken
against It. Seven Irish papers Zone
daily, one bi-weekly, four weeklies
and one monthly were attacked last
fall.
