For suphistry the Courier-News is
unequalled. It stands in class by
itself.
The last number received of Har-
vey's very interesting weekly con-
tains this very brief but expressive
editorial: only 3l3 days more"
Herbert Hoover blames President
Wilson for the high cost of sugar.
Well, what of it? Didn't the presi-
dent also tell US he would keep lis
out of war. Now he is doing his
durnest to keep US out of peace.
Major Frank Henry comes out
with a frank statement regarding the
nomination for governor in last
nights Fargo Forum. He says he is
not an active candidate for the nolai-
nation but if the convention at Mlnot
should nominate him he would accept
and make canvass to win out. He
says that if some other man is nomi-
mated he is going to get behind the
nominee and help elect him. That's
fair and to the point, and should be
the attitude of all the candidates and
probably will be.
Mrs. Maude Donohue of Cokato,
Minnesota, has entered the political
race for secretary Of state, and her
name will come up before the repub-
lican state convention which will be
held in the Twin Cities tomorrow
She is the first lady to go before
state convention for state Office, and
as she is pretty good looking, in ad-
dition to her executive ability, 1t is
dollars to doughnut that she will be
nominated
The fight for final action and pas
sage of the woman suffrage amend
ment is on in Louisiana now, and pro-
ponents Of the measure are making a
desperate effort to get the amend
ment ratified by the legislature. If
Louisiana follows the footsteps of
some Of her sister states, she will
turn down the amendment point blank
and again refuse the right of voting
to the women Of the country. Those
southern democratic states seem to
find it hard to get it through their
Uranium what woman suffrage means,
and that it will be passed in spite of
all their opposition to it.
A statement made by Theodore
Roosevelt in March, 1916, in antici-
patton of the national republican
convention to be held that year con-
tains sentiments which way we'll be
kept in the mind of every delegate
90 the Minot Convention. Speaking
of the work to be done by the dele
gates to the national convention, he
said that the vital need was for the
delegates to approach their task with
a lofty devotion to the interests OF
our nation and concluded with these
wrds: "They should approach their
task unhampered by any pledge ex
cept to bring to it's accomplishment
every ounce Of courage, intelligence
and integrity they possess
The state home builders association
announces that it will build twenty
houses in Fargo this year. 1t built
one house in Bismarck last year. We
do not know much about this associa-
ton but we do know that if it would
build fifty houses in Valley City the
state could dispose of them to fami-
lies who want to move to this city to
live. The great trouble of these times
is to provide houses for people to live
in. Many travelling men want to move
to Valley City to live because Of our
exceptional advantages in the way Of
train service, educational institutions
and because We have a pretty town in
which to live. Build US few houses
in Valley City while you are going in
to the house building business, is our
advice to the state officials.
