The Cooperstown Sentinel-C Courier
in a sarcastic editorial says that
Editor Trubshaw of the Valley City
Times-Record, declared himself to be
greater and better Judge of bonds
than the treasurer of the United
States" Well, it cannot be denied
that all the bond houses in the United
States are acting in harmony with
Trubshaw's expressed oponion. Fur
ther. Mr.. Trubshaw is still openly
fighting for his views while the United
States treasurer has been silenced.-

The Cooperstown Sentinel Courier
claims that the league initiated the
movement that brought US state, nail
insurance. The legislative records at
Bismarck will not bear out the Sentl..
nel-Courier's claims. The editor OF
that paper must size up his readers as
being very ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
He did think they were ignorant
when he first went up there. He has
changed HIS mind since-especially
since they voted on the official paper
and majority Of his town voted for
the Binford Times. Nye must realize
by this time that they are a mighty in
telligent lot of voters at CooperstoWn
The nomination of William Howard
Taft for chief justice of the United
states was confirmed by the United
jtates senate yesterday by vote OF
60 to A.. Three of the four DIRECTORS
were republicans, namely Borah, La
Toilette and Johnson, of California
and Watson, democrat, Georgia. 1t is
too bad that these four men could not
have laid aside their personal feeling
in the matter, because Mr.. Taft's ap-
pointment is one of the best yet made
by this administration and gives great
satisfaction in the country at large
However, the new chief justice will
no doubt survive without the aid OF
the four kickers.
Press dispatches indicate that in
the very near future President Hard
ing is to send the name Of William
Howard Taft to the senate as NOM
inee for chief justice Of the United
States. We believe that such an ap-
pointment on the part of the presl-.
dent will meet with general approval
by the people of the United States.
Mr.. Taft is great lawyer, has the
right temperament for the job, and his
appointment will be an honor to the
highest court in the land. The only
thing that made the president hest
tate we are informed was the fact
that Mr.. Taft was little older that
is usually permitted member OF the
court at the time of appointment. But
he is full of days work and we believe
will give the country good service
Hon. Alice Robertson, representa-
tive from Oklahoma, recently pre-
sided in the speakers chair, the first
time woman has thus officiated in
the history of congress. Yet, is it not
peculiarly fitting for woman to say:
"The House o will :, come to order!"
After the House had INDUCED in. five
hours of debate on a bill to which no
one objected. "Miss Alice" gently
suggested that considerable money
could be saved by less talk. Coming
from a woman, that likewise establish
ed another record. In three months
the lady from Oklahoma has firmly
established herself in the hearts Of her
colleagues while at the same time
giving evidence daily Of brand OF
common sense, devotion to duty, and
contempt for publicity that command
the respect of every member.
Governor Frazier has issued pro-
clamation setting aside Saturday:
July 23d, as bond day for North Da-
kota, for the purpose Of selling bonds
of the state, and he urges that COM
mittees be appointed or organized so
that thew can present to their neigh
bors the advantages of these bonds
and to urge the sale OF the same. Inc
governor urges all public spirited cit
liens to buy as many OF these bonds
as they possibly can and to assist IN
getting their friends to do the same.
It has come to a pretty pass when you
have to go out into the highways and
by-ways Of this great commonwealth
to hawk the bonds of state that up
to the time of this new day regime
could sell all the bonds it wanted to in
any financial market in the country.
The new day has. certainly put the
skids under the financial foundation
of North Dakota. Let us hope that the
present administration will go down
behind an eclipse next November. Z.
The support given by the people to
the Valley City Chautauqua has fallen
so far short this season that the man.
agement is getting discouraged and
unless the city folks show a little
more enthusiasm for the closing days
than they have done in the past the
present session is liable to be the last
and that in our Judgment would be too
bad. The programs presented SO far
this season have been Of the highest
type but they have not had the sup.
port they should. Those in charge OF
the Chautauqua have been putting in
a.lot Of free time and much worry to
