BOOSTING.

Would you like to be thought strong
yer and more resourceful than the v
erage man? Would you like to have
others admire you and look up to you?
The receipt is simple. Have some
thing good to say about everybody,
about our neighbor, and about your
town. Boost, eve if you have to 60
out of your way to boost. Lend a
helping hand. Have some word Of en-
enlargement always ready for the fell
low who is down on his luck. People
will think then that you can afford to
do it; that you r SO successful and
so prosperous that you can e only
good in everything. It is the man
with the petty grievance-the small
man who knocks. Remember that,
and try to be above small things. A
good deal Of the old feudal idea still
remains. The ancient lords could af-
ford to be magnanimous. Their MT
to was "Noblesse oblige". Their no.
bility gave them certain responsible
ties. They were the leaders. People
looked up to them and depended on
them. That "Noblesse obilge" is a
good motto to adopt today, even when
there are no hereditary lords. It IS a
motto that the everyday man can
adopt and profit by. If you keep
boosting everywhere you go, others
will unconsciously recognize you as a
leader. They will put you down as a
man who helps because he is stronger
than others. If you don't believe this,
try it for a while and see if it's not 80.

IMPEACHMENT
Of DISTRICT
ATTY. ASKED
CONGRESSMAN
SEEKS REMOVAL OF PROSE-
CUTOR FORM OFFICE.

Washington, Dec. I.-Congressman
Buchanan of Illinois took his contro-
versy with United States District At
torney Snowden Marshal over Labor's
National Peace Council, to the floor
of the house today, by introducing a
resolution for Mr.. Marshal's impeach-
ment.
Labor's National Peace Council, of
which Mr.. Buchanan was president till
last July, is now under investigation
by the federal grand jury at New
York, under the direction of Mr.. Mar
shall, who declared it was financed
with German money. What the grand
jury is trying to find is whether the
council was connected with violations
of American neutrality.
In the articles Of impeachment, Mr..
Buchanan charged Mr.. Marshall with
having neglected to prosecute viola
tiers of neutrality, having violated the
eight hour law, and having publicly
DETAINED and slandered people. The
charges went to the judiciary commit
tee which will examine the merits of
the charges, hear parties m both sides
and then decide whether the case shall
be dropped or carried on in the house.

John BURKE IS
CANDIDATE FOR
THEU US. SENATE
ANNOUNCEMENT MADE AT CEN
TRIAL COMMITTEE MEETING
LAST EVENING.
PLArOU OUT FOR
GovERNoRsH1P.
HOT SCRAPS FEATURE THE DEM
OCRATIC SESSION - UNITED
FOR WILSON.

John Burke, treasurer of the United
States, thrice governor of North Da-
kota, will be a candidate for the Unit
ed States senator for North Dakota.
Announcement in his behalf was
made in Grand Forks last evening at
the meeting of the democratic state
central committee, John Bruegger, ma
tional committeeman for the state, in
forming the committee that Treasurer
Burke had signified to him his inten-
ton of making the rae in the primar-
les of next June, when he will seek the
democratic nomination.
Platou for Governor.
L. S. Platou, of Valley City, an
nounced to the committee his candi-
dacy for governor, declaring his in
tention of making the race for the
democratic nomination in the primar-
les of next June.
H. H. Perry of Glendale, as a a n
didate for national committeeman, was
groomed here last evening, and he
very likely will make formal an
nouncement of his candidacy shortly.
The post of national committeeman
will be filled during the presidential
primaries next March.
Endorse Wilson.
Endorsement of Woodrow Wilson as
a candidate for reelection to the pres
idency also was accorded by the COM
mittee, and a committee was appoint
ed to begin circulating petitions for
the placing Of his name on the presi-
Dental ballot. The petitions will be
in circulation shortly after the first Of
the year.
The committee adopted a resolution
proposing the need of another demo-
cratic daily newspaper in the state,
and assuring such Of it's hearty moral
and financial support.
! Burke for Senator.
The announcement of John Burke as
a candidate for United States senator
failed to elicit from the committee its
endorsement, despite the fact that
friends of the treasurer. made a de-
termined effort to obtain such ap-
prevail. A hot fight was made, con-
tinuing during the late afternoon and
during the evening. Adjournment
was finally taken l,len a motion was
passed, simply authorizing the state
ment that Burke would b. a candidate.
Opposition to the endorsement Of
Treasurer Burke was based on the
contention that the state central CON-
mittee wound be taking unwise action
at this time, for such endorsement
would practically mean the elilnina-
ton Of any other prospective candi-
date.

n Statement.

When locating in Devils Lake a little over a year ago, I was a
total stranger and necessarily had to rely on honest and judicious
advertising to get my place of business before the people, and af-
ter carefully considering the matter, decided to use the columns of
the Devils Lake World, which paper has done my advertising ex-
cusively, and now I believe that 1 have made no mistake in max
ing the selection. AS an ad advertising medium 1 feel confident
that it has no equal in the Lake Region. I can trace much of my
trade through the columns Of this paper. It is a bright, clean,
newsy paper and it's large circulation in this and adjoining coun-
ties makes it valuable medium.
must say that my business during the past year has been very
satisfactory, and 1 consider that one Of the main things which has
made it such is the fact that l have carried from a quarter page to
pie that my prices were right, and then fulfilling every statement
made in my advertising.
The World is a newspaper that any community may we'll feel
proud of and is entitled to the loyal support of the people of Devils
Lake, as it gives the news in a fair and unbiased manner, and is a
newspaper that no man need feel ashamed to have go into his
home. CD KELLY.

COUNTY'S
ENDORSEMENTS
GIVEN APPROVAL
>sTENWICK BATTLES NATIONAL
COMMITTEEMAN BRUEGGER IN
COMMITTEE,

Grand Forks, Dec. 15.-Olaf Toff-
ner's endorsement for the Kenmare
postmastership by the state central
committee of the democratic party
here this morning followed an inter-
esting battle between representatives
Of the Ward county democratic cen
trail committee and John Bruegger of
Williston, national committeeman for
the state.
Committeeman Bruegger opposed
the endorsement; he asked that the
committee take no action on the Ken
mare Office.
E. H. Stenwick, of Minot, speaking
IN behalf of the Ward county central
committee, which has previously en-
dorsed Toffner, opposed Bruegger-
insisting that the county organiza-
lions voice should be final with the
committeeman for the state, and that
the name of the county committees
candidate should go to the postoftice
department and President Wilson,
backed by the support of the national
committeeman.
Accepts Wards Proposition.
The state committee accepted Stem
wick's position, upholding the plea of
the Ward county committee, and in so
doing the state committee establishes
an important precedent.
1t e that the county organiza-
tons will hereafter be accorded a
wider latitude in the selection of can
didates for federal appointment,
practically eliminating the national
committeeman as a factor in the set
Element of local disputes. At least,
that is the viewpoint taken by the op-
pcnents of Committeeman Bruegge1
within the state committee.
Means County Supremacy.
In opposing the position taken by
Committeeman Bruegger, who has
withheld his endorsement from lob
ner, the Ward county democrats in,
sisted that failure of the state com
mittee to lend it's support t, the coun.
ty organization would be disastrous
for the entire fabroc of the demo
cratic organization of the state. Loca
control of postofice appointments is
Gratis the issue that Ward county dem

Kenmare controversy, and they were
unwilling to surrender to the state ma
tional committeeman the power o:
overrulii.g their selection.
