The Missing Links,'' Triangle Fine Arts production, which opened at the Palace last night. is a clever come dy drama, bordering the rural, the scenes being laid in a small town, with the small town characters that makes d comedy drama the go that they gener ally are. There is little mystery that deveiopes about the third of the fifth reels and this mystery is worked so cleverly that it is almost at the last before the real explanation is given. Norma Talmadge is just clever in this Triangle play as in others and she is ably assisted by Robert Harron. Juvenile lead and the venerable Thom as Jefferson. The comedy with San Bernard. Because He Loved Her." brings out the laughs aplenty. This bill will be run again tonight and to- morrow.

At the Republican Concessions! convention held in Grand Forks
last Wednesday, {. B. Burtness of Grand Forks was endorsed for
Congress, and is now before the people Of this district asking for
election at the hands of the voters. The Non-PaItisan League has
endorsed Baer for the same position and the Democrats of the dis
trict have placed in nomination George A Bangs of Grand Forks.
Therefore the voters of the district have three men before them
to vote on at the election July 10, and it remains to be seen who
they will elect to represent this district in Congress. This is al
strong republican district and therefore it is reasonable to assume
that that party feels that it is entitled to elect a Republican. This
being the case, there is only one choice for them, and that man is
Burtness- Mr.. Burtness is a Scandinavian by birth, and is a
well known and most able practicing attorney at Grand Forks. He
is a man Of recognized ability, and if sent to Washington as our
representative there is not a doubt but what he will fill the bill In
first class shape. The population of this district being strongly
Scandinavian, for several years back We have elected one of that.
nationality to represent this district in congress, an din the cleo
ton Of Nj; Burtness this policy could be continued Both Bangs
and Baer have been democrats in the past, and at this time Mr..
Rangs is the Democratic nominee, while Baer poses as a mon
Partisan: since Townley got hold Of him and worked him over into
the Socialist column. By birth, MI. BaerSe q German, and his
only qualification for the position seems to hat he is a good car
stoonist, and has the endorsement of Tow1ey and his followers.
He has lived in this district only a short time and is now working
for Townley and his partner at Fargo, drawing cartoons for the
Leader. None of the candidates are farmers and none of them
make any claim to being a farmer. There you have them, Mr..
Voter, and it is up to you to make your choice at the coming cleo
ton: Look them all over, and see which one You consider the best
qualified to represent this district in Congress, and then do your
duty by voting for that man.

pOL1T1CAL NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

According to the usual understanding the official ballot used at
elections is intended to contain the names of the candidates. with
that of the party to which they belong, all conveniently arranged
SO that the voter. having previously decided as to what he wishes
to do, may mark his ballot quickly IN accordance with that decis-
ion The ballot has not been used as a political pamphlet or a med
ium for the spreading of political doctrine Of any sort.
The people who are running the Non-Partisan league have
changed an that-A new use has been found for the ballot. On
pears, after the name John NJ Baer, Non-Partisan' the words
Baer has actually been endorsed by the NonPartisan league, and
how, if SO, that endorsement was obtained, are matters not at
present to the purpose. But it would be interesting to know under
what rule Of law the secretary of state presumed to place a state
ment of that kind on the ballot. How does MI. Hall know that Mr.
other men men are candidates because petitions, properly signed
and verified, have been filed according to Law, and these are mat
ters of public record. But what record is there in Nh: Halls Office
of the endorsement named? By whom is the certificate to that
person or persons, signing had authority for that purpose from
any properly constituted body qualified to act on behalf Of the
on the street, or read it in the newspapers.
Assuming that there was such an endorsement, and that Mr..
Hall was duly notified of the fact, what business was it of his, any
way? What right had he to cucumber the ballot with such extran-
eous matter? If one candidate has the right to have his endorse
ments printed on the ballot, all other candidates have an equal

right Hence It would be proper for the ballot b contain the m
formation that Nh. Burtness has the endorsement of the Repubi-1
can district convention. and Nj Bangs that of the Democratic
committee, together with such other endorsements Is those gen.
tlemen should choose to list If the record Of one endorsement is
limit The ballot might just as well contain the complete personal
history and pedigree of the candidate, his age and nativity, his re-
igious beliefs, if any. and a list of the various political, social and
fraternal bodies which have endorsed his candidacy. An this
would be perfectly legitimate If the act OF the secretary of state IN
attaching the endorsement 10 the Baer nomination is legitimate
The fact is that the whole proceeding is Unauthorized and illegal,
and If any one considered it worth the trouble there is every reason
to believe that the secretary Of state could be Compelled to recall
all the ballots printed and print new ones containing only the
ZANE of the candidate and the name of the party OF principle which
he represents.

Lee S. Tillotson Tells Of the Court
Procedure Beyond District
Tourte

The following order was mailed Tues
day to local and district boards;
The following information, received
from the Office of the provost marshal
general, is published for the guidance OF
all concerned.
!. Appeals to the president.
! No evidence or statements of appeal to
the president will be considered, except
such as has been presented to the district
board. Discussion of evidence and state.
ments concerning pending cases which
comes from other sources is forbidden.
Industrial and agricultural claims for ex-
emption are within the original juris-
diction of the district board, and the
decision of the district board is final, ex-
cept that the president may affirm, mod
fly or reverse such decision, in accord
ance with regulations prescribed by him
While the regulations prescribed by the
president provide for appeal from the
decision of the district board on agri-
cultural or industrial grounds, the claim
for appeal must be filed with the district
board, who will send all evidence and
other matter in the case to the president
for his consideration. If, after the de-

to submit new matter, the district board
may reopen the case, consider such new
matter and if it adheres to its original
decision, forward such new matter to
the president. Matter not presented to-
the district board cannot be considered
on appeal to the president.
While district boards are not courts,
the function in passing on claims, and
the function of the president in examin-
ing their decisions is quasi judicial. The
president has directed the war depart
ment to decline to discuss cases pending |
on appeal, or to entertain any communi |
suggestions or additional evil |
dence or statements concerning them.
2. No appeal can be taken to the
president except in claims for exemption |
or discharge based on engagement in sg
