FRAZIER TAKES
HAND IN TRIAL

Through the intervention Of Cover
nor Frazier yesterday afternoon, the
newspaper trust" case, appealed from
a decision of Judge Crawford in the
sixth judician district holding the
Brinton official publication law uncon-
stitutional, will be orally argued be-
fore the supreme court, instead of
being submitted on briefs, as both
original parties to the controversy had
previously stipulated. Governor Fra
zier, arguing that the action was one
of great public interest, in which the
rights of all the people Of North Da-
kota were involved, petitioned the
court through w. A Anderson, Sec
retary of the state industrial COM
mission, for permission to intervene
and present oral arguments, which re-
quest was granted by the court, and
March Is was set as the date for
argument.
The action originated through the
refusal of the Grant county board of
county commissioners to recognize the
Brinton act, which requires all coun-
ty proceedings and other official no.
tices and public printing to be bestow-
eQ upon one Olucldl newspaper, ,
designated by the state printing and
publication commission. Instead Of do
ing this, as the SO other, county corn-
Of the state did, the Grant
county board designated three official
county newspapers, as provided for
under the acts which Brinton law,
passed by the sixteenth assembly, re-
pealed.
Timothy Daily, pioneer Grant
county citizen, instituted friendly
suit against the board as a means Of
testing the act. The action was heard
before Judge Crawford of the sixth
judicial district at Dickinson. He
held that the .Brinton act violated
three distinct sections of the state
constitution, and that it was there
fore null and void. Daily then ap-
pealed to the supreme court. At
torneys E r. Lanternmann and John
F. Sullivan, representing DAILY and the
Grant county commission, respective
ly, by stipulation last week agreed
that the case should be submitted to
the supreme court Gil briefs and not
orally argued. AS result Of Cover
nor Frazier's intervention, it is ex-
pected that each side to the triangle
will present oral arguments March Is.

For the first time in the remem-
brance of the oldest resident of
Jamestown. the local rooters cheered
themselves hoarse for Valley City

year being expressed If jamestown
can't win the championship, | surely
hope that Valley City does" This
;prediction made at the time of the first
Carrington-Jamestown game, which
went % to "a in favor of Darlington,
that either Valley City or Casselton,
could defeat them in game played
on neutral floor proved true, and the
Darlington team did not have look
in from the first whistle to the last.
Busdicker, Valley City's big center,
was the most dependable score getter
for the Valley team, making IA of
their % points scored. He was ably
assisted by the other members of the
team, however, and the playing Of
Valley City could not in any sense be
called a one-man game. The team
played well together, they formed
their defenses quickly when their op-
! ponents secured the ball, and were
half way down the floor with the ball
after breaking up one of Carrington's
plays before the red jerseyed men
knew what had happened Most of
the playing was confined to Valleys
end Of the floor.
Ridgeway, center for Darlington,
played we'll on the offensive but it was
easy to see that he had not been accus-
toned to playing a defensive game
and seemed lost whenever Busdicker
got the ball.-Jamestown Alert.

LATER

It has been reported to US that the
nonpartisan convention yesterday
made the following nominations for
county commissioners: In the fourth
district now represented by Frank
Heimes we are told that John McIn-
tyre was the choice for that job but
we do not know whether or not he has
accepted the nomination. In the fifth
district, Archie Ferguson was nomi-
mated to run against Martin Conlon,
the present incumbent, and in the
third district George N. Rasmussen
was nominated to succeed himself.
Messrs Heimes, Conlon and Rass-
mussen are three as good commission
ers as you could pick in Barnes coun-
ty and should be reelected.

ORIENTAL BASEBALL FANS.

a laudabie effort the part of French and
British friends wax enthusiastic the sport.

gave fair limitations Of beachers full of typical

own varieties Of sport Baseball remained foreign

There is country, however, which seems 10

and an enjoyment which rivals That coun-
try is Japan. The japanese not only play welt but
they play enthusiastically. They cheer quite as
loudly and insanely a crowd Of hand-picked
American devotees They decry the umpire and all
his ways while he, when handicapped by his
native costume. is a naughty and heartless any
occidental umpire.
A few years ago two Japanese baseball teams
came to this country and played with various Amer

All this is very interesting. and there those
who hope that It may also something favor

KEEP EYE ON HYPHENATEs.

While first thought might imagine that
a presidential and congressional campaign year,
with politicians trying Guido another in pro-
Tossing devotion the Stars and Stripes would be
an ideal for Amercansm this depends upon
the thoroughness with which the loyal do their
work. Eagerness to obtain votes carries many a
candidate far in making promises and some not
particular about the loyalty of those to whom they
appeal.
When il is remembered that Of the worst
hyphenates during war pretended be almost
burning up with fervor for America. the need Of
scrutinizing the conduct of organizations and
individual should be plain. Judgment will have TO
be upon deeds rather than upon words.
So let the forces of Amerioanism start their work
at once to expose any who playing double in
their appeal for support.

JANUARY 8, 1920.


Zee. 1920 is going be somewhat OF a year. 1t
Is leap year, and It is pres dentia year 1t is easy
remember each OF them, because of the other
they come together unfaringly and this year there
is peculiar fitness in their association.
Heretofore the male citizens have elected pres-
dents rule over them. while the younger female
citizens have elected hus5 ands for the purpose.
There are. indeed those who maintain that women
do not choose their mates in leap year; there
also those who like Bernard Shaw. in Man and
superman." maintain that women always do the
choosing. Be that it may. There has always been
the same sort Of argument about the president,
sorie insisting that the people choose him and
others that the politicians choose him. In either
case it makes difference The president does
what likes after he's elected, and does tho
husband--or the WIFE, as the case may be. What
started 90 intimate was. that this year the
women will probably do all the choosing, presiden
tiaI as as matrimonial because they will have
the ballot long before the first Tuesday after the
Monday in November.
Some folks say Il IS also going TO be peac@ year
There was 1918 devoted to war. and 1919 de-
voted to talk and now 192O--it is a hopeful and
beautiful thought that we may have peace alike
from the war and from the argument that was
worse than war.
But how can there be peace if the women are
running everything?" asks a cynical male
Very simpIei Just leave that. too to the women.
There is always peace when men let women have
their way.
But how can there be an end OF the taI1fest if
women have their way?" persists the cynic you
know how women are"
Yes. we know. But somehow we don't believe
that a feminine senate would have used 90
