North Dakota seems to be establishing a reputation
as being the place where United States treasurcrs come
John Burke. Col. Frank White, also of North Dagota.
was nominated for this highly important position.
1t win be recalled that in the early part Of 1912
John Burke. then serving his third term as governor of
North Dakota, was endorsed by the Democrats Of. the
state for the presidential nomination. This was q grace.
full compliment to Mr.. Burke, and as there was no re-
mote possibility for his nomination for president, it left
the state delegation at the Democratic National conven-
ton in q position to dispose of its votes as the circum-
stances might seem to. warrant. In due time the state
vote was delivered to Mr.. Wilson, and there was a time
when Mr.. Wilson needed the votes. Governor Burke.
having withdrawn 50 that his delegation could exert its
influence elsewhere, was obviously entitled to something
good. and there was no reason why he should not serve
as acceptably as any other man in tre. position of Treas
urer Of the United states. He was accordingly nominated
for this place after the new administration took charge.
His nomination was confirmed. and he served until a
few months ago, when ne retired to enter into private
business in New York city.
The political complexion of the administration hav-
lnE changed, it was evident that a Republican, would be
chosen for this position. Col. Frank White, like the
governor Of the state. He was twice elected to that posi-
ton and gave the state a very satisfactory administra-
ton. Prior to his entrance actively into the political
arena. he had been a very active and influential member
Of the state military forces, and had served with distinc-
ton as major in the Philippines. 1t was his Philippine
service which in some measure attracted attention to him
in 1890. and which led to his nonin alton for governor
at that time. In the word war he again offered his
services to the government and gave capable service IN
the organisation and handling of troops for that great
struggle
In the near future those OF us who are fortunate
enough to come into the possession of paper currency
Issued under authority of the government will find Mr.
Whites name inscribed thereon. and we shall accept the
bits Of paper bearing that signature as perfect security.

ing the manufacture, sale and transportation Of alcohoic
beverages, provides that congress and the state govern
ments shall have concurrent jurisdiction over the en-
forcement of the amendment The volstead act IL the
which congress has provided for the per-

would remove congress from the situation altogether
and leave it to the states to enforce the amendment in
their own way, which he believes to be the proper
course. The Introduction Of the bill may cause a ripple
of interest, but there is slight prospect that it will be
considered seriously. ~
