The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1917-01-25

Reaching deep down into the federal pork barrel appears to
just as popular a pastime with members of congress as it ever was.
Even those who have deprecated this wanton waste of public funds
are ready to grab something when the slightest opportunity pres
ents itself. Telegraphic dispatches from Washington state that
Congressman Norton of the Third District has promise of an ap
preparation of $4,000 for a site for a federal building at Crosby
This will ultimately mean an elaborate structure that would have
no other function than to delight the eye of the Crosbyite. The:
Divide county village has about as much use for a federal build
ing as it has for a government dry dock. But we are not blam-
ing the ambitious citizens of that town for trying to get something
for nothing-as long as Uncle Sam is willing to foot the bill. The
members of congress are themselves to blame for the nefarious
practice. And the North Dakota representative who participates
in this game of lootng the public treasury is not a whit better
than Senator Sorghum of Georgia, when he secures appropriation
for a federal building at a point designated as a town on account
of a widening in the road.
The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1917-01-25

The Bottineau county delegation appears to be decidedly on
the map in the fifteenth assembly. The Fargo CourierNews re-
Gently published a pen and ink drawing of Representative Stair,
designating him as one of the league "self-starters." Representa-
tive Hagan, who attained prominence through his introduction of
House Bill No. a, also had his picture in the paper" the other day,
being labeled as one of the league members whose batting aver
age was one thousand.

The Good Government League is dead. Secretary Black makes
public announcement of this fact and, in the same connection,
explains that the slack of interest in the league" did not appear to
justify it's continuation. The child never seemed to do very well
from the very time of it's birth, which perhaps accounts for the
fact that none could be found who would acknowledge it's parent
age. The Grand Forks Herald, suspected of being quite intim-
atay connected with the event in a connubial way, does not even
dignity the deceased with an obituary notice. This is a sad, sad
world.

At the previous legislature Woman Suffrage was finally CIV
en- a temporary quietus.' At the present session, two Suffrage
bills passed the senate with colors flying. One bill provides suf-
frage to women on offices not designated by the Constitution.
The other measure provides for a Constitutional amendment
giving full suffrage to women. It was not so many years back that
mere man was hooted and jeered into submissive silence if he had
the temerity to advocate woman suffrage. But gradually the
movement has grown until even politicians have come to incor.
porate woman suffrage into their platforms as something mer-
itorous and calculated to win votes and respectful Moure

Midget Entertainer
Coming TO Our City

The attention of the public is
called to the fact that Clyde Poul-
ter, Of Kansas City. Mo, has been
engaged for an entertainment IN
our city. Mr.. Poulter began his
professional career as public en-

No other artist has so won the
hearts of the people wherever he
has appeared.
Mr.. Poulter is the smallest en-

mostly humorous. back of all that
humor IS purpose. He is a
student, an actor and AN instructor
all combined.
Throughout all his programs,
Astounding in humor and pathos,
SO varied as to please alike both
old and young, he presents his
characters of real men and women
without the use of costumes or
makeup accessories.
Absolutely different from the
usual humorous entertainer, he
leaves burning impression. Just
to see what THAT Little Man" can
do is an inspiration to everyone.
