TWELFTH DISTRICT NAY
DISPENSE WITH WRI|
Absence of Judge J. M. Hanlsy
May Result in Abandon
ment of Fall Term

The twelfth judicial district may
do without regular fall term of
court unless plans are laid more def
initely than at present. So, far as
known there are no important cases
scheduled, most Of those on the pros
pective calendar being carried over
from the last two or three terms.
There is little. doubt but that Judge
Hanley will accept the majority in
the new North Dakota regiment that
has been offered him, which would
necessitate bringing in the judge of
another district for the term. There
was no jury summoned in June, hence
several of the continued cases are
jury cases. This being the very bust
est season of the year for farmers, it
is felt by the clerk Of court and 9TH
ers that it would be very difficult to
get jury together for the September
term, which ordinarily would begin
September II.
All these things considered there is
possibility that there will be no
regular session of court for this ais,
trict until time for the December
jury term.

THE NEW RAILWAY
Survey Passes Through Mandan

The survey of the Manning Mandan-
Freda railroad passes through the
Keidel property south of the city,
across the state training school fields,
cuts the Country club property and
goes on north by west toward Yucca

The surveying crew, which camped
about two weeks on the J. G. Mead
place southwest of the city, is now
working a few miles north of Sunny
Wednesday they were about mile
and a half north of that station, and
it is believed by Charlie Whitmer,
prominent farmer and merchant of
Yucca, that they will reach his place
by the early part Of next week.
Charlie, one of the heavy stocknold-

eating party several days of late.
John Dawson, president Of the cor
poration, has been with them prac-
tically all of the time for a month.

Mrs. Farnsworth and DR.. W. W. Kemp. now head

Of California, two OF the most able candidates for

has had the privilege Of voting.

positive in her convictions. Positive she is but

To quote briefly from it:
"A big city puts on its school board men who

then wonder that schools are misma ma ged
1T is the inefficicncy of democracy we say
Rather it is the stupidity of the people who have
tried to realize the possibilities OF democracy
who have never given democracy chance.
1T is no essential principle of democracy to ig-

is what we have been doing. We persist in
garding public positions as political Jobs rather
than occupations for the employment of trained
men in the doing Of highly specialized work"
Where the democracy in the nomination OF
any of the other candidates? Neither of the or
CARNATIONS that put them forward saw fit to adj

On the other hand Mrs. Reach and Mrs Kramer
were nominated at a meeting duly advertised. with
no ticket determined upon beforehand. save that

BACkACHE

Ia spite of the best care one takes
Of oneself, any part of the human ma.
chine is liable to become out of order.
The most important organs are the
STOMACH, heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavengers and
they work day and night in separating
the poisons from the blood. 1t is only
reasonable to believe that they are liable
to arrangement. Their signals of dis
tress, however, are easily recognized and
include such symptoms as backache, de-
pressions. drowsiness, irritability, head
aches, dizziness. rheumatic twinges,
dropsy, govt.
THE very best way to restore the
kidneys to their normal state of
health says DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo,
N. Y, "is to drink plenty of pure water
and obtain from your favorite phar-
macy small amount of Anuric, which
is dispensed by most every druggist"
Anuric is Inexpensive and should be
taken before meals.

THE ISSUE.

We glad that the president of the United
States and his advisors have seen fit to take steps
which to be looking toward active participa-
ton in the war. There undoubtedly good
many citizens of the United States who OPP
posed to the declaration by congress that a state
of exists with Germany, although there does
not to be any doubt that great majority be
leves the proper step to have been taken.
President Wilson's speech was undoubtedly COM
prehensive. 1t covered the for in
apparently thorough manner, but one Of the main
points to mind. at issue not touched in his
address, though it was one of the principal points
made in previous message We believe that the
people who favor the action of the president and
congress do with the belief that American par
ticipaton in the war will make the victory of the
allies certain and that this victory will mean the
establishing of an international alliance and agree
ment which will prevent any recurrence of the
present catastrophe.
We believe that the American people abhor war
and that they are entering uron it with the sole
idea that through their participation world peace
will be brought about. We Of America cannot wax
enthusiastic, TAX" deeply to heart the torrcdo-
ing of a contraband- laden merchant vessel but the
foundation of America laid basis of prn-
ciple and it is for such principle that the major

United States? Would it not he we'll to sccur"
from the allies statement as to tho terms of
peace to be demanded and guarantee of Il
coalition of all world powers which will do away

We think that the American people at large IN

''SIC.''

Yesterday mornings Missouian carried a state
ment 10y three of the men nominated for the posi-
ton of school trustee. Several times through this
article tho word Sic was used in brackets Some
people believed that this was done for the purpose
Of rdculing the statement. Nothing could be
farther from the The word Sic is Latin and
means thus 1t is used in all newspapers to
designate the typographical errors as having been
in the manuscript and not to be laid at the type
settlers editorial rooms door.
This was done for the that the men sub
hitting the statement asked that it be printed
without change editing account of the fact
that statements received from some of the other
candidates boiled down" in the editorial
rooms on account OF lack Of space. Immediately
strenuous objection entered by those candi-
dates whose copy was altered and the last three to
in any way.
The Muscular has not taken sides in the pres
ent election and does not intend to do and
makes this explanation simply account of the
fact that few have been found who were
familiar with this of the Latin word and be
lieved that it used for the purpose of ridcung

situation.

BY STORM Of ABUSE
German Newspapers Say
Americans Have No Ideal
Except Gold-Seeking
TO Supply YANKEES
One Paper Says War Will Be
Waged With Energy
~. S. Too Late
TO Supply YANKEES

London. April 4.-Reuter's Amster-
dam correspondent says President
Wilson's address to congress has been
answered in the German press by a
| storm of abuse. He quotes the Rhen-
ische Westfalische Zeitung as saying:
Beyond striving for gold the Amer
| leans have no ideal- They think
everything can be achieved by gold
Their megalomania makes a grotesque
impression on us Germans
The newspaper expresses the belief
that the addition of the United States
by the entente allies will mean only
transitory addition to their strength.
1t declares that Germany will take up
the glove thus thrown down and will
wage the fight thus proclaimed against
her with such energy that the gold
stated Yankees" will be supplied.
The article concludes by giving rca-
sons for believing that the cola pse of
Germany's enemies is imminent. 1t
says:
Great events are pending in the
west. The grey spectre of starvation
stretches it's claws over England.
Chaos reigns in Russia. 1t is too late
for the United States to change the
coming decision"
Professor Richard Foster of Halle
university writing to the Dusseldorf
Mon Anzeiger says:
while President Wilson entangles
the new world in the squabbles of the
old General Carranza works for the
idea that the American states would
draw round their continent a line of
demarcation against the world war.
When the dwarf SCOTS at the giant it
may be assumed that he has feeling
of security, which of all the powers
only japan can at the present time
give him. If President Wilson places
himself in our path he will be blown
out of way militarily, as twice already
he has been lifted from the saddle dip
lomatically."

If You Expect to Enjoy
Perfect Health.

You cannot expect to enjoy all the
benefits OF a strong and healthy body,
and the splendid vitality you are en-
titled. to, unless your blood is abso-
lutely clean. Every heartbeat, every
breath of life depends upon the blood
supply-evcry function Of your body
is either properly or poorly performed,
according to the condition of your
blood.
Can you not see, therefore, the vital
Importance of keeping your blood alb
solutely pure?
In fact. there are scores of ailments
attributed to other causes that would
never exist if the blood were kept en-
tirely free Of impurities. And do not
underestimate the damage to your
health that any irregularity may occa-
sion, no matter how seemingly slight.
You cannot afford to labor under any
handicap, or neglect to correct any
condition that tends to lessen your Of
ficiency.
Keeping we'll and in perfect physical
condition is largely a matter of being
able to resist disease. Every day you
are subject to attack by disease germs.
Everyone else is similarly exposed, and
those who succumb are those whose
systems are not in condition to resist
the disease germs which are ever pres
cnt. The slightest impurity in your
blood will weaken your system and
lessen your ability to resist disease.
To be reasonably sure of perfect
health, therefore, your blood should be
