Bellerophon was the champion COW. puncher and broncho buster of Cor. nth. which was q little range close to Olympus, where all the old Greek gods lived.
 Like a lotta cowpunchers, Be.iero phon used to get all excited ouCe in a while and would run around lo. SC informing everybody who would listen that he was seventeen kinds Of a curly wolf and this was his night to howl
 One day he rides into Lycia, which was the county seat of Corinth, guess, and manages to get a bid to the castle where King Iobatcs hung out. Bellorophon is kinda novelty and the court folks sorta takes a strong shine to him, especially the queen. which of course, don't make the king burst into cheers.
 About the time that Be1eIophon the Bronco Buster is making big hit, a fierce monster which is part lion, part goat and the other half dragon begins to roam around loose, chew.ns up anybody wot gets ill his way.
 This here thing is called the Chim aera. The king sends the Chimaera a polite note telling him to lay off eating up the folks oi Lycia, but the monster don't pay no attention to him So at last the king calls a special meeting Of his board of directors and they decides this here Chimacra thing has gotta be killed.
 I'd go kill him myself" says the king, but I feel it's my duty to stay on this throne job
 I'm crazy to take Q crack at him, explains the second in command. But I promised tho wife I'd help her clean house tomorrow"
 Gee whizz, and l cant go,' says another, 'I gotta batch of home brew wot is almost ripe and l gotta stick around close and watch it."
 Everybody else pulls some kinda stall and the crowd is up against it
 Well why not let this rootin-toot in bronco buster Bellerophon take hi: twenty-two and go pop off this Chim aera?" suggests the king, who is an xicus, anyhow, to get the cow-puncnel away from the joint.
 When Bellerophon is told that h'

BRYAN SPEAKS
TO PlCMCKERS
Says Republicans Will Not
Prohibit PROTECTING;
Have "Wet" Plank.

William Jennings Bryan, fresh from
the Chicago convention, condemned
the Republican party and platform in
an address at a picnic at Fadden's
10Y near Arvilla Friday afternoon.
The celebration was attended by
about 1000 people and was a huge
success. Music was furnished during
the day by the Grand Forks Munich
pal band.
Mr.. Bryan arrived on the grounds
shortly before the time for his ad-
dress and was introduced by George
e. Duis of Grand Forks. The general
theme of Mr.. Bryan's address was the
debt we as American citizens owe. In
speaking of the Republican conven-
ton at Chicago he belittled the plat
form and the candidate Of the party,
running on a wet plank and that
they intended to do nothing to pro-
hibit the continuation Of p~rofteerinR.
He stated that those two measures
were going to be put in the Demo-
cratic platform through his efforts, if
| possible.
After the address Grand Forks and
Park River played a one-sided ball
game, II locals winning by a II to 4
score. Dancing began in the pavilion
when n ball game started and con-
tlnued till late at night, music being
furnished by Emard's orchestra OF
Grand Forks.
Much credit is due A. ]. Scott, Sec

An Answer to Mr.. Aaker.

, An Answer To Mr.. Aaker.
Commenting on Mr.. Aaker's argu-
ment, and making the comment as
brief as circumstances will permit,
The Herald submits the following:
az Mr.. Aaker says that the ares
ent system a been found wanting,
but he fails to indicate in what par
ticulars it fails, or how those defects
are to be remedied by adopting the
new system. We cannot easily" find
the way back, should We desire to do
so. We must operate under the new
system for more than six years, and
turn to the old system a petition to
that effect must be signed by 40 per
cent of the voters. Only 10 per cent
are necessary to force a vote for the
adoption of the proposed SYSTEM.
(2) Only North Dakota cities
have the North Dakota system. The
experience of other cities with sys-
TENS unlike ours has no bearing on
the -. case R,ect,on At large merely
spreads the political contest over the
entire city, instead of restricting it to
wards.
"a Under the present system each
head Of a department is responsible
directly to the mayor. and the mayor
directly to the people, which is a bet
ter arrangement
t~alderman, will do the thing that he
is elected to do if he is the right sort
Of man. 1t makes no difference what
he is called.
(6) The system Of electing at large
has it's advantages. 1t has the dis
advantage that it tends to remove the
official farther from the individual
voter. Under the present system
each voter has in the council at least
own neighbors. Elected at large they
may be residents of a distant section
of the city. -,
(7) Half Of the members OF TIN
city council are elected every year
and a mayor every two years. Under
those circumstances the people arr
kept quite close to their city govern
'ment without the recall. Actual tx
perience with the recall in North Da'
kota shows that it has been aset
chiefly as a means of political an
noyancc.
(8) This section is a mere gener
alization.
10 1t is not shown that thu
commission system will afford an,
relief from the conditions compliance
of.
GOLD The statement as to tn
experience OF Mandan is not war
ranted by the facts. Several Nortl
Dakota cities are operating under tn.
commission plan. The best h a cal
be said about them is that after I
period Of uncertainty and costly agi
tation they have settled down, al
are doing, presumably, about as wei
as they would be doing under thu
council system. They are not NOR
effectively OF less extensively govern
ed than Grand Forks or other cite
which retain the council system.
