The Storm

The clouds are black, the
thunder roars, there are big do
ings out of DOORS The winds
like dippy demons shrek, the
universe has sprung a leak; the
rain is pouring in a food, and all
the landscape turns to mud.
The storm is not a thing of
chance, my name is Ebenezer
Pance, and every time I plan a
jaunt, or picnic in some wood
land haunt, inviting friends to go
along and make their lives one
grand sweet song, the elements
remark, "Nay, nay!" and bring
along a beastly day. The skies
are dark, the winds are bleak j;
this thing will last at least a
week. Oh, other men abroad
may ride, and tour the smiling
countryside for them the well
known sun will shine, the stars
will not take in their sign; the
winds will whisper, soft and
low, and not like merry bitten
blow; the skies, an airy, fairy
blue, will seem to them as good
as new. But when / make yaca-
ton schemes to sally to the
burbling streams, and spend
day, or maybe four, far from the
5ughouse city's roar, the ele-
ments remark, "The tof! Well
show him now where he gets
off" And then the streaks of
lightning fly; the sable clouds
obscure the sky, with awful
ponp and circumstance: my
name is Ebenezer Pance.

H FREE CAUCUS

1t appears that the famous secret caucus at Bismarck
has been inaccurately described, and that a. c. Townley
has been grossly maligned in connection Herewith. The
caucus, it seems, was really a deliberate body. and Mr..
Townley did not dictate all it's acts, as he is said to have
done. We have this on the statement OF Senator Cahir,
who was there. and ought to know.
In his informative and illuminating address at Grand
Forks on Tuesday Senator cahill denied in toto the
said that the caucus spent an entire week debating the
merits Of the bill governing the width of bob sleds with
out Mr.. Townley telling it what to do do, or once putting
in an appearance.
This is conclusive. Mr.. Townley may have had his
private opinion as to whether a bob-sled should he four
feet six or six feet four in width, but did he seek to i'm
pose that opinion on the free and u~ntrammelled lawmak-
.ers of North Dakota? He did not. With rare delicacy
and moderation he not only abstained from issuing in
structions or making suggestions with reference to this
weighty subject, but he absented himself from the caucus
for an entire week lest his presence might Be construed
as an evidence Of craftsmanship on the subject Mr..
Townley was interested in many things, and he was in a
hurry. but he bore himself with patience while for a
solid week his disciples met night after night in solemn
conclave and brought to bear on the width of bob sleds
all the knowledge that could be gained by. painstaking
Investigation and profound research.
When Mr.. >Townley was so scrupulous in leaving to
his followers a free hand In the matter of bob-sleds can
it be doubted that he was equally SELF enacins when the
caucus had under consideration such minor matters as
state banks, mills and elevators and the reform of the
educational system? The man who could keep his hands
off bob-sled legislation could not even have been tempted
to NEEDLE with anything else.

EMINENT

Every state, without legislation on the subject, by
right of its sovereignty. possesses the right Of eminent
domain. Webster defines this right as
That superior dominion of the sovereign
power over all the property within the state.
including that previously granted by itself,
which authorizes it to appropriate any part
thereof to a necessary public use. reasonable
compensation being made.
The state has the right to condemn private property
for necessary public use. and this right, within certain
limitations. is possessed by several Of the political sub
divisions of the state. Thus q city may condemn land
for a street, and a county may condemn land for a public
highway or for a site for a public building. But through
The inteflocking of tho industrial commission bill and the
home building bill 1t is proposed to invest political ap-
pointees Of the governor of the state with power to con-
denim private property, not for public purposes, but for
the use of individuals. These bills definitely confer upon
the administrative officers the right of eminent domain
for the purpose of building homes for individuals. No
restrictions are made. According to the terms of the bills
it would be possible for the state officials to take possess
sion of the home of any individual in a city or village, or
of any farm on the prairie, on paying its appraised value.
and to sell that property to some other individual in
whose interest the seizure was made.
1t may be said that nothing of the kind is ever likely
to be done. Perhaps not, but some very remarkable
things have been done. But whether or not the thing is
likely to be done, it can be done under >he law as en-
acted. and it remains only for cupidity or malice to sup
ply the motive.
What sort of legislation is it to place in the hands
of individuals wholly unnecessary and highly dangerous
powers. and then to hope that powers will not be exer-
cised? This provision alone is enough to kill any bill that
contains it. n

matter; but for q day, the news:hun-

slightest excuse, whether for a dancer.

Perhaps there was a trifle more ex-

for repose after the long voyage. Only
then did David Noel light a cigar and
walk alone into his private sitting

THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER

The commercial travellers of North Dakota and Min.
nesota begin their annual meeting at Grand Forks today
They are to be with us three days, and may their visit
be a pleasant and profitable one. \
These travelling men know the town, for thew hav
been making" It in the course of their business for .manv
years. Some OF them have grown gray haired, not, per-
haps, because Of their visits 10 Grand Forks. but during
the course of those oft-repeated visits, while by others
of the younger men that badge of distinction is vet to
be acquired. But the visits of the organized body have
not been as frequent as have those Of the individual
members, and this is the third time in history that
Grand Forks has been so honored.
The first visit Of the organization, was in the early
summer OF 1896, and it is to that event that every travel
ing nah harks back if he is old enough and fortunate
enough to have been among those present. The Young
town was just emerging from its swaddHng clothes. and
in desperation. had ordered certain of its>streets paved
But the paving was yet in the future. and the place was,
for the time being, a veritable ocean of mud. There was

Our visitors on this occasion will not be abba to eriov

they will have as good a time as they had then, ana any
CID timer will agree thai. no bigger wish could be ex-
pressed.
We owe a lot to the travelling man. He is more than
a seller OF goods. he is a messenger, of civilization, a
link connecting the most remote village with the great
centers where the busy life of the world pulses. Through
the magic of his influence credit is esta blished and the
vast machinery of commerce is set in motion. He knows
