Gov. Frazier spoke at the court
house Sunday night to good-sized
audience.
He completed his address by tel
ling the audience to remember how
the Great Savior entered up into the
temple and drove the money-changers
out, and then was crucifed. But,
ladies and gentlemen it's worth it,"
said the governor. Probably the fact
that it was Sunday, and that the gov
ernor was competing with six local
churches for his audience, caused that
worthy to wind up his harangue with
the religious touch above quoted.
A large number of leaguers and a
goodly number of Independents were
on hand to hear the governors ad-
dress. It was the first chance local
people had to hear the governor in
action, as last year he broke his ad-
vertised date and sent bunch Of les
ser lights to fill in for him. He
dwelt at length on the iniquities of
the Chamber of Commerce, Big Biz,
Wall street, ETC., and paid his re-
spects repeatedly to the money
changers" and the grain buyers. He
almost wept real tears when he
thought of the amount the recall ell
ection will cost, some of his emotion
no doubt being. due to the very great
probability that said recall may mean
the governors sudden and more or
less untimely political demise. There
are many, however, who are not so
greatly wrought up over the expense
of the election, for the reason that
every dollar thus spent will undoubt-
edly mean many dozens Of dollars
saved in the long run to the state by
stopping the profligate manner. in
which Frazier and his bunch have
been squandering the public funds via
the Home Builders Association, the
Drake Mill. the Bank Of North Da-
kota, the real estate loan department
and the vast army of political ap-
lpointees and hangers-on that we have
been cursed with for several years
past.
If the farmers of Emmons county
as we'll as the rest of North Dakota
had all the money that has been
squandered in the. league and sim.

today. State funds squandered in the

IS LEMKE OWNER OF COURIER
s NEWS?

Nearly six days out of every week
we read in the Fargo Courier News
about. what a wonderfully great man
VIM. Lemke is. For several months
we have been told repeatedly how the
Courier News had finally been turned
over to the farmers. Some fifty
thousand dollars in donations were
turned in by league sympathizers, the
women providing most of it. Two
thirds of the entire fund went to the
Courier News. In addition, so that
the Courier News will get additional
subscribers, it has been arranged that
every man who pays a membership
to the Nonpartisan League will get
the Courier News. and the subscrip-
tion price is turned over to it by the
league. We are told that it is the
official paper of the league in this
state. Lemke's name formerly ap-
peared at its meashead as president
of the corporation. When t began
its bombardment of bouquets to Lem
ke it was deemed advisable to take
his name off. And so on, and SO on.
But who really owns the Courier
News? That question can be defin-
itely answered, thanks to the provis-
ion in the laws of the United States
government. Under the federal law,
twice each year sworn statements
must be published by each pape,
showing who the owners of such pa
per are, and who has mortgage
against it, if any. One of these

Rome, Mar. 10. - Presentation
today by the pope of the red hat 10
three new cardinals, Archbishop
Dennis J. Dougherty of Philadel-
phia' Jose Shuttle of Cologne and
Michael Won Faulhaber OF Munich

plomats and citizens to the vatican.
The ceremony, which has come
down virtually unchanged throuw.,
the centuries combined historic
brillance and sacred lmpressive-
ness.
The pontiff rode to the Selia
Regia in the Sedio Gestatoria borne
by crimson uniformed attendants
and took his throne surrounded by
prelates and richly uniformed rep
resentatives of royal families and
plumed knights.
The new cardinals entered and
bowed low three times and then
knelt and did homage to the pom
tiff. After the reading OF Latin
perorations. the cardinals received
the embrace and welcoming kiss
from each member OF the sacred
college. Two masters of ceremonies
threw over the trio's heads the pur-
pie "cappa magma" The ceremony
closed with the papal benediction.

Railroads Agree
To Extend Milling
In Transit Rates

The Great Northern, Union Pa
cific and Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul system are agreeable to an
other ninety day extension of the
milling in transit rates on their
lines in Oregon and Washington,
according to word received by the
public service commission this
morning from Edgar Il. Clark,
chairman of the interstate com
merce commission. The S. p. a. s.
is not agreeable to the extension
while the Northern Pacific has not
stated its position, the communi-
cation explains.
Under a six month extension of
milling in transit rates in effect at
the time OF the rate increase on
August 26, these privileges expired
February 26, leaving millions Of
feet Of lumber at milling points and
at assembly points. This material.
it is explained, was purchased for
shipment east as finished products
under the old freight rates and the
requested additional extension Of
these privileges Is for the purpose
of enabling the mills Of Oregon and
Washington TO clean up this busi-
ness.

Divorce Case
0f'Doug'a and
Mary Opens
Defendants Declare
Attorney Without
Authority to Contest
Decree

Minden, New, Mar. 10.-Reas-
+ sertion that Leonard B. Fowler, at
torney general of Nevada, had no
authority under state laws to bring
his recent action to set aside a di-
vorce granted here to Mary Pick
ford from owen Moore was made
here today in a brief filed by Miss
Pickford's attorney, Gavin McNab,
San Francisco. Miss Pickford. who
is now Mrs. Douglas Fairbanks, and
Mr.. Moore are motion picture stars.
IF the people wished the attor.
ney general to represent them in
divorce cases. they would wish him
to represent them in all divorce
cases, because the law of the peo
pie must have uniform operation. -
the brief said. Surely they would
not leave it to the attorney general
to represent them in only one di-
Vorce proceeding merely because
one of the parties happened to be
conspicuous.
Authority Assumed.
"They would not allow him, In
defiance of precedent and at vari-
ance with American principles to
say, like the celebrated king, the
state! / am the state which he is
attempting to do in this case. The
attorney general seems to be suf-
fering from a confusion of ideas In
which he does not perceive the dis
tinction between exercising dele
gated powers as a servant of the
state and being the state itself"
Attacks were made in Mr.. NC
Nabs brief upon arguments set up
in a previous brief filed by the at
torney general. 1.-The mere fact
that the attorney general of Nevada
feels that the courts of California
or the courts of some other state
may regard a decree of divorce
rendered by the Nevada courts as
void, is no reason why the courts
of Nevada should set aside their
own DEGREES at the instance of the
attorney general" it said.
Foreign Angle Denied.
The attorney generals brief, ac-
cording to Mr.. McNab, said: I'VE
cannot say that foreign state may
invade our precincts to pervert or
to nullify the acts and records OF
our own government" In answer
the defense said: I'VE fail to COM
prehend or appreciate the signifi~
cance of this statement, nor can we
understand how. in the case of
Moore VS.. Moore, any foreign state
INVADED Nevada. Furthermore we
,annot appreciate how the attorney
general claims that the litigants in
his case invaded Nevada to nullify |
Is acts or records. The filing OF
he More divorce case was in strict
with the Nevada laws"
