McAdoo that the states attempt
to reduce as much as possible
the tax burden on the railroads
Is liable to hit some Of the state
administrations a solar plexus
blow especially il they cam
paigned on an issue to increase
railroad taxation.
1t might be possible that this
would be one Of the things that
the states would have to con-
tinue to contend with If the gov
eminent saw fit to take over the
railroads permanently.

The New Rockford Farmers Pro.
vost has this rather grudging tribute
to s. j. Doyle:
The Democratic state central
committee, in session at Fargo
Tuesday and Wednesday, selected
United States Marshal S. J.
Doyle, Of Darlington, as their
standard bearer for the North
Dakota gubernatorial nomination
upon the Democratic ticket.
1t is their anticipation that the
old stalwarts Of the Republican
party will fuse with them at a
later date and thus make the
chances smaller for the re-elec-
ton of Governor Lynn J. Frazier.
At that, Mr.. Doyle is the strong
est man in the state the Dems
could find TO make the run to
represent their party.

The Tower City Topics discusses
the incident OF President McFar-
lands enforced resignation, as fol-
lows:
The board Of regents Of North
Dakota last week asked the
resignation Of President Nc
Farland Of the Valley City nor
NAL. Mr.. Mcfarland has held
that position for the last quar-
ter Of a century and has made
the Valley school one OF the
leading uormals in the country.
His removal Is evidently being
asked by superintendent OF Pub
lie Instruction, n. G. Macdonald,
so that Rev. Mr. Vermi1lya,
formerly OF Valley City may
have the job. Mr.. Mcfarland
has been one Of the states lead
ing men for many years and the
progressive citizens Of North
Dakota will line up with the
alumni Of the normal in their
protest against the dismissal Of
the man who more than any
other faction or action has been
responsible for the high standard
Of the Normal.

that great number OF deaths have re

reissued after deaths that have not
been fumigated.
The reports prompted Mr. Moultoa
to wire p r. Cook OF the employment
bureau at the plant for statement as
to the conditions there. in answer
to the telegram. Mr. Cook stated that
the reports we're entirely without
foundation, and that the proportion Of
deaths was smaller at the plant than

First Automobile Patent.

The first application for a patent for
an automobile was filed in the United
States patent Office by George Il. Sell
den, 80 years ago. Selden was a
patent lawyer In Rochester, N. L,
when he first began to experiment with
the idea Of a vehicle propelled by a
gasoline engine. Considering that his
''road engine" was not yet perfected
and that the times were not ripe for
it, he secured delay after delay, and
the patent was not definitely issued
until 1885. From the first, doubts
We're cast on the validity of the Sell
den patent, but it earned a fortune
for the astute inventor-attorney and
for long time dominated the motor
car industry Of the United States.

There are many minor INCIDEN-
TAI facts IN connection with this war
that are somewhat interesting. For
instance. 4.150.G00 persons have died
N starvation III Europe since the war
began. (Tte number killed in fight
ing has been about 4,25O.0OOD
There have been TO moving pic
lures of this phase of the war. These
i.t50.000 persons wore no identifica-
ton discs There were no casualty
lists of these 4.750.000. When THEY
died. there was no boom. no puff of
powder. no two-mile gains. They. just
died. They just died because they
were hungry.
Ii didn't get much attention in the
papers.
Died? You didn't even know they
were sick. did you?
But, now. maybe. by putting
ridiculous cartoon at the top of this
article. perhaps the news can be PUT
HOME TO you. Perhaps for the first
time
: The war is so nicely organized. We
