NORTH DAKOTA DAY. AT
PANAMA PACIFIC FAIR
Governor Hanna Started Celebration
of the Occasion.

San Francisco, June 21.-Yester-
day the North Dakota building at the
exposition grounds was the scene OF
festive occasion. Governor Hanna
and wife, daughter and son were the
central figures in the celebration.
State Senator Paulson of Hillsboro,
member of the North Dakota COM
mission, acted as chairman of the
proceedings. In the afternoon the
governor and his party were met at
the Scott street entrance to the ex-
position grounds by a battalion OF
marines headed by the marine band
and escorted to the North Dakota
building.
Governor Hanna planted a white
ash tree sent out to the coast by the
School of Forestry located at Botti-
neau, N. D., on the lawn in front OF
the North Dakota building. Presi-
dent C. c. Moore, of the Exposition
company, than welcomed the COVER
nor and his party in the name of the
exposition and presented Mr.. Hanna
with a box of jewels in commemora-
ton of his visit to the greatest expo
sition in modern times. Governor
Hanna then responded in his usual
happy manner, highly complimenting
the officers and directors of the expo
sition for the magnificent show that
they are conducting.
The North Dakota song from the
pen of F. B. Taylor of jamestown
College was then sung and much en-
joyed, after which Hon. William Bal
ley Lamar of the United States COM
mission made an address.
Hon. H. H. CASTLE of Mississippi
made an address comparing condi-
tions in his state with North Dakota,
showing similarity in many ways, as
to trunk lines of railroad, prohibition
legislation, the beginning of raising
hogs and corn, the demonstration
farms and immigration plans.
Mayor Rolfe also spoke on the oc-
casion and an informal reception
was held in the building, a large
number of North Dakota people at
tending.
Governor and Mrs. Hanna will be
guests of honor at q dinner given
by the exposition women's board at
the California building, where re-
ception and ball will be held in hon
or of Governor Hanna and also Gov
ernor Ralstron of Indiana.

Gus outbreak-Executive Says He
Would Be Murderer If He Permit
ted Hanging.
Atlanta, Ca, June 22.-Leo M.
Franks death sentence has been COM
muted to life Imprisonment by Gov.
ernor Slaton.
Announcement of the governors de.
cision came several hours after Frank
had been taken secretly from the Jail
here and hurried to the state prison
farm at Milledgeville.
Frank was sentenced to be hanged
here today for the murder of Mary
Phagan in April, 1913.
Governor Slaton still was at his
country home when he announced his
decision. In making the announce.
ment the governor dictated the fol.
lowing statement:
"All that ask is that the people of
Georgia read my statement of the
reasons why commuted Leon M.
Franks death sentence to life impris-
onment before they pass judgment.
Feeling as do about this case l
would be a murderer if l allowed this
man to hang. 1t means that must
live in obscurity the rest of my days,
but l would rather be plowing in a
field than to feel for the rest of my
life that had that mans blood on my
hands,"
Governors Action Unpopular.
When early reports that Franks S
sentence had been commuted began
to circulate crowds began to gather
on the principal downtown street cor
ners. The arrest of a man who at
tempted to dismount policeman by
grabbing the horses reins stirred one
crowd to excitement and it followed
The officers to the city hall, block
away.
Speakers started to harangue the
crowd from the city hall steps, but
were stopped by an extra force of
police. 1t was stated that delega-
ton was coming here from Marietta,
the former home of Mary Phagan.
The first official announcement of
the governors decision was made at
8:42 a. m. Extra editions of the To-
cal newspapers containing the unoffi-
cial announcement caused consider
able excitement among many crowds
of men, who gathered on various
street corners and around the city
hall. Mounted police and patrolmen
were stationed on the outskirts of
the crowd and at least one arrest was
made. Comment disappearing the de.
cision was heard in the gatherings.

Strong With The People.

President Woodrow Wilson has COM
pleted the first half of his first term,
and while doubtless his administration
has mistakes to it's credit, yet there is
no gainsaying the fact that he is strong
with the people of every section. Few
presidents, if any at all, have had
more difficult problems to solve than
Mr.. Wilson, and the splendid manner
in which he has directed the affairs of
this great nation has called forth the
admiration of some of his most bitter
antagonists. But for having man of
the Woodrow Wilson type in the White
House, this country would in all prob
ability have become involved in war
that would cost thousands of lives and
countless milliorls of dollars. MIR. Will.

feet long for every busl,pl bedded.
Then get lot of fresh. horse ma.
nure and pile it near till it heats
and then pack the excavation full
of this and cover with :hree inches
Of sandy soil. Put thermometer
in the bed and watch the heat rise
and begin to decline, and when it
has fallen to Is degrees bed the po-
tatoes and cover with two inches Of
sandy soil above them. Then cover
with a good coat of pine straw, and
watch the bed that it does not get
too hot. If it threatens to get too
hot remove the straw and punch
holes in it to let the heat out. AT
ter the sprouts appear keep the pine
straw off in sunny days but return
it if the night threatens to be cold.

Change of Method Needed.

The manner in which the engrossing
department of the Legislature has been
conducted is being quite generally crit
icIsed. AS result of the old, out-of-
date system of copying bills by hand.
two of the most important measures
enacted by the recent legislature are
defective. 1t is said that the bill pro-
viding for the tax commission and that
providing for the reorganization of the
hospital for the insane may both be
declared null and void because of er-
rors made in the engrossing depart
ment. Instead of having copyists,
some of whom are lacking in expe-
rience, the department should be or
ganized along modern lines. The force
should be composed of experienced
stenographers and the bills should be
copied on typewriters instead of by
hand. Who will take the initiative in
recognizing the engrossing depart
ment of the legislature? 1t appears to
US that somebody has been negligent
or the system of copying bills would
have been altogether changed long
ago. ..,..r-

Well Deserved Rest.

After an almost continuous session OF
Congress lasting through a period OF
nearly two and half years, Senator B.
R. Tillman is now at his Trenton home
where he will enjoy well-deserved
period of rest and relaxation. In spite
of the fact that he has been constantly
in the forefront of the fight incident to
the enactment of Democratic princi-
pies into law, Senator Tillman has
stood the physical strain splendidly.
Being entirely in harmony with the
President, Senator Tillman's prestige,
influence and wise counsel have beer of
inestimable value to the administra.
ton, all of which has been duly appre-
ciated by the President himself.
Congressman James F. Byrnes is

one of the most alert and active mem
bers of the national house of represen-
tatives, and has rendered valuable SER

mittees, giving him an opportunity to

A Warning to the South.

The threat of the Allies to shut of
all shipments to Germany has its spe-
cial warning for the South. Whatever
comes of the present move, 1t Illus
trates the possibility thatwe may wake
up almost any morning to find ourselves
without European market. Farmers
who have been encouraged to hope that
cotton may bring big price this fall
should take heed accordingly: The rnan
does not live who can foretell what the
next six months may bring forth for
the United States. To plant heavily
in cotton this summer will be criminal
folly. Those who do so will band
themselves the worst of speculator'.-
