Tallahassee, Fla, April 2.-The
good effect of the group feature of
the primary law in the nomination of
members of the legislature already
can be noticed. Members from the
same county are friendly with each
other and are disposed to cooperate
because they were not embitered by a
primary in which one ran against the
other. They were ip groups and were
not running for the same office, as it
were. In the old days, members used
to come to the legislature as col
leagues, but having been candidates
for the same office, in many cases
they had become enemies politically,
and fought like cats and dogs during
the entire session, accomplishing
nothing for their county or state.
This year it is pleasing to note how
friendly the members of the various
delegations are with each other. The
result will be more accomplished in

Washington, April president
session of congress, asked congress
to recognize and deal with Germany's
warfare on America by declaring that
2 state of war exists. He urged the
immediate raising of an army OF half
million by universal military serv-
ice. He said war with Germany
would involve the substantial coop
Grafton with other nations now at war
with Germany, including liberal fl
nancial credits. He declared Ameri-
cas- motive now and always is to
indicate the principle of peace and
Justice against the selfish and auto
cratic power. He said he was not
thinking of the immense loss of prop
erty involved in Ger1nany's subma-
rine activities, but the ruthless de-
struction of lives of innocent nom
combatant men, women and children.
He said Germany's war is war
against all nationals and all mankind.
He said we had no quarrel with the
Germany people, but sympathy and
friendship; but they were not consult
ed by rulers of the empire, and said
Germany's spies and intrigues had
convinced him Prussian autocracy
was not and could not be a friend of
America. He said America has no
selfish end to serve, and seeks neither
conquest, dominion, indemnity or
compensation, but only the rights of
mankind.
Address Received enthusiastically.
Washington, April 2,-Concluding
his address, the president, said any
disloyalty among Germans in Ameri-
ca will be sternly represented. He
looks for disloyalty only from the
!awless and malignant few. The
dramatic parts of his address We're
thunderously applauded by members,
and galleries, including the supreme
court justices, led by Chief Justice
White, who smiled and slapped hands.
Bills Presented in Both Houses.
Washington, April 2.-Immediately
following the presidents address, the
senate and house reconvened, and an
identical resolution introduced in each
declaring a state of war exists and
directing the president to employ all
the resources of the country to carry
on war against the German govern
ment and bring the conflict to a sue
cessful conclusion, but Senator Stone
opposed. It was referred to the for
elgn affairs committee, and both
houses adjourned until tomorrow.
Some dramatic periods in the pres
ldent's address, each bringing vigor-
ously and evidently le-hearted ap-
plause, were: eve enter war only be-
cause we have been forced into it, be-
cause we have no other means of

of Fargo's successful business men
have done this. Why not you?
We have a number of desirable bust
ness locations for sale, some with
buildings that are reasonably priced. If
you are interested in a proposition of
this kind or are likely to be in the next

you will want so you can take advan-
tage of any opportunities to buy rea-
sonably. The time has gone by to get
real snaps in Fargo business property.
Values are too staple.
We have a good corner lot, $500
square feet, with a good dwelling on
renting for $420 a year, that is a very
desirable location for some lines of
business, on the corner of Fifth street
and Fourth avenue north. diagonally
across the avenue from where the
Bristol and Sweet Company are to
erect their new factory soon.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the SUBJ

laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re-

These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calonel does, but have no bad
after effects. They don't injure the

They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct il. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth9 Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
