One More in Heaven.

On Thursday, Jan. 25th, the
remains of Clara Elvina Paul
son, the baby daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Philip Paulson of
Dalen township, were laid to rest
in the Manager cemetery. Clara
was born July %, 1914 and died
Jan. 20, 1916, being two years
five months and twenty-five
days old. She was a very pre-
cocious child and is sorely mis-
sed by her parents. But the
kind Father who gave her into
the parents keeping for a
short time, had other and higher
plans and called her home.
Blessed are they who die in the
Lord. B.

the Canadian line and the Gulf
of Mexico, and in spite Of all the
lawyers betwixt here and hades
we are going to put this bill
through before we quit"
Representative Sinclair Of
Kenmare made a pointed and
telling talk and answered the
objections raised to increase
the debt limit. He pointed out
that at the time the present con-
stitution was drawn that the
limit was made 100000 but
that then our population was on
ly 100000 people and our wealth
was not one-sixth Of what it is
now. At this time our popula-
ton has increased to nearly a
million and our wealth greatly
increased so that a debt limit of
100000 now is not as much in
proportion as was 100000 26
years ago. He said that he had
no fear that the industries pro-
posed would ever become a debt
but believed they would be pay
ing propositions from the
start.
The line of argument offered
by the opposition, especially the
lawyers, was that the method
was irregular, unwarranted, il
legal, unlawful, unconstitution-
al and without precedent and
that it was not wise nor safe
to go so fast at THIS time"
To those who have been wait
ing for the reactionaries and
standpatters, the lawyers and
the politicians to do something
progressive, to set a precedent
and to move fast enough that it
could be noticed, the question
arose, when will the time ever
come. The objection always is,
not at this time. Not at THIS
time.
But the people have spoken.
They have sent their represen-
tatives down here to enact GER
tain laws. It was found that
certain obstacles were in the
way. Those representatives
have undertaken to remove
those obstacles. The buck has
now been passed to the senate.
It is reported that 26 men, most
of whom were holdovers, will
block these efforts of the peo-
pie. Well, the buck is up to
them. The people await their
answer. Then it will be time
for the people to speak again.
What they shall say depends
upon what these 26 men say.
We shall see what we shall see.

flnal passage was opened by j.
+. T. O'Connor, an attorney. He
is an educated and talented
youth and made a brilliant and
earnest speech which brought
applause from the gallery as
we'll as the floor Of the house.
But one was impressed with the
incongruity Of the situation
the spectacle of a youth who
had apparently been brought up
at the fireside Of comfort, stand
ing before a score or more Of
men whose silvery locks indi-
Gated that they had been fight
ing the battles three times as
long as he, advising them what
to do on a matter that concerned
the existence of their homes.
It was really too much like inno-
cent youth advising the sage.
By unanimous consent of the
house Mr.. O'Connor spoke near
ly two hours.
He was followed by lawyer
Tenneson of Fargo. He took
up the proposed draft section by
section and tried to expose it
but instead he exposed his ig-
norance and prejudice. He OBJ
jected to all changes whether
inconsequential or not and the
crowd gave a sigh of relief when
he sat down.
Stair Has The Floor.
Representative Stair made
the hit of the debate when in
his short speech he said: II
know my grammar is not good
but my principles are right. We
were not sent down here to in
troduce a lot of lemons. We
have sent men down here before
asking for oranges and they
handed us lemons. If old Abe
Lincoln were here he would say,
Ego to it boys" Some have
criticized us, saying that we left
the words patriotism and NOR
atty out of our proposed con-
stitution. They declare that a
man who would do that would
put poison in the wells in front
of his own country's army and
lead his little sister to the
brothel. But I want to say,
gentlemen, that a man who will
support a system that will force
girls into lives of shame-well
as for him-I have more res
pect for Benedict Arnold. We
desire to make this the best gov
eminent in the world and in
spite of all the lawyers betwixt
the Atlantic and the Pacific, in
spite Of all the lawyers betwixt

bitterness and acrimony with
Mackoff a close second. There
were also flashes of genius, also
not a little dullness and stupid
ity.
The main speeches against the
bill were delivered by O'Connor
of Grand Forks, Tenneson of
Fargo, Moen of Adams, Mackoff,
Rice, Divet and Blanchard. Of
these seven opponents to the
bill six were lawyers.
Those making the main
speech in favor of the bill were
Miller, Mees, Harris, Stair,
Church, Patterson, Sinclair and
Cole. Bowman moved the pre-
vious question, when apparent
ly all had had their say, which
brought the roll call.
Message From Governor.
Just before the roll call and
Just as Maddox had replied to
an attack made by Attorney
Divet on Governor Frazier to
the effect that he run on a dis
honest and deceptive platform
and that he was drunk with pow
er or had bowed his back to the
lash of the master that rules him
the sergeant at arms announced
a message from the Governor.
This intensified the excitement
as it was expected by many to
be a reply from the Governor
to attorney Divet. 1t was, how
ever, merely the transmission
of an opinion from the attorney
generals office bearing the
constitutionality of the method
of procedure proposed by bill
a..
Attorney Generals Opinion.
The attorney general held
that when viewed in it's true
light-that of the Fundamental
principles of our government
and the peoples sovereignty"
the proposed method of revis-
ion is clearly constitutional and
the arguments in favor of it's
legality unanswerable." He
pointed out our State and FEEDER
al constitution shows no pro-
cedure for revision or for the
adoption of a new State Consti-
tuition, as an organic whole,
but that "all political power is
inherent in the people," and that
moreover, in our system of
government, constitutions de-
rive their powers from the peo-
pie, not the people from the
constitution. The rights and
powers of the people existed be-
fore a constitution was formed.
In other words, before the stab
lish of a constitution, the peo-
pie possessed sovereign power"
He reasoned then, that the
people still possessed that power,
except in so far as they may
have delegated it to State or
National governments, or have
voluntarily restricted til e M
selves in it's exercise in their
constitutions, and that the peo-
pie have delegated no SOW
ereign powers except as is set
forth in express terms.
"Many Of our states," the
opinion continues, "have adopt
ed express methods Of revising
their constitutions through con-
stitutional conventions. Howev-
er, for generations, many
states had no express method
of revision, and at least a dozen
states, North Dakota being
among them, have none to this
day."
But the fact that no express
method of revision is provided,
the attorney general reasons,
by no means abrogates the.
rights Of the people to exercise
their sovereign powers but that

Cruiser Is Sunk

LONDON,-J 2S.-The British aux Hilary cruiser Laurentic, of 14,S92 tons gross, has been sunk by submarine or as a result of striking a mine off the Irish coast Thursday, according to an official statement tonight. Twelve off cers and 109 men were saved.
 Before being taken over by the Brit ish admiralty for auxiliary cruiser duty, the Laurentic was in the Canadian service of the White Star Dominion line. The vessel was owned by the Ocean Steam Navigation company of Liverpool
 In the first two years of the war the Laurentic was engaged in doing patrol duty in the Far East, but several months ago returned to European waters. While in the Pacific the auxi- liary cruiser held up and boarded the American steamship China February 19, 1916, while that liner was on a voy- age from Shanghai to San Francisco and seized 38 Austrian and German subjects.
 The Laurentic was said to be the first passenger steamship to be fitted with a combination of reciprocating engines with a low pressure turbine.
 The Laurentic at one time was the largest vessel in the Canadian trade.
 Lloyd's announces that the Norwe- gian steamer Mlrdal, 2,621 tons, pre- viously reported as believed to have been sunk" has been sent to the bot tom by a submarine. Her crew was landed.
 The shipping agency also announces that the Norwegian steamer Dicax is reported to have been sunk

CARRANzA MAY
 CALL AN ELECTION
IRepubIcan A. p. Leased Wirel


 QUEREARO. Jan. 29.-The constitu- tional assembly has adopted an article whereby General Carranza is authoriz- ed to issue a call and provide regula- tions for the election of members of congress to be held the last Sunday in February. Congress will meet in eX- traordinary session on April 15. Con- gress also will act on a sort of cleo toral college, passing on the presi- dential election, and officially declar- ing the president elected. No mention is made as to the date of holding the presidential election. but it probably will be the last Sunday in March.
 The extraordinary session of con- gress will take under consideration certain laws and will appoint judges and other officials who will assume office July l, when the present officials end their terms. The term of the next president shall be considered as be- ginning December, 1916. so the next election will be held in December 1920
 The article providing that candidates for state offices or congress must have resigned from the army ninety days before the election has been attended to permit the candidacy of army men provided the locality where they are seeking office is outside the place where they hold their military com mand. The assembly approved the article, which provided that every one would be free to follow his religious desires and practice the ceremonies of his denomination in the church or at home, but that every public religious act must be celebrated in the church, which must always be under the vigI- lance of the authorities. It was de- cfded also that ministers of all sects must be MeXicans by birth, and the legislatures of the respective states were authorized to determine the maximum number of each sect in each locality, according to necessities, ac- cording them as members of a pro- fessiOn and subject to the laws govern ing pensions
 Felix NJ Palavacini, former secretary of public instruction, made a vigorous speech in which he declared that President Wilson was the greatest ruler of the day, that he had under stood the situation in Mexico from the beginning of the revolution and that Mexico would not have had any difficulties with the United States ex- cept for the deplorable influence of certain individuals. Secretary Lan- sing, he said, wanted to settle matters by algebraical formulae, without re- gard to ideals of popular sentiment.
